主播大秀

The International Monetary Fund says that high global debt is a concern. The 主播大秀's Kim Gittleson gives us the latest from the IMF and World Bank Spring Meeting in Washington DC. A consultation is being undertaken to consider a UK ban on plastic straws and cotton buds. Rebecca Newsom, head of politics at Greenpeace UK, gives us her reaction. Plus, Yogita Limaye on efforts in India to get rid of plastic products. We hear former director of the FBI James Comey's on UK broadcast interview, in which he says no one around the president is able to "stop impulsive behaviour".

All this and more discussed with our two guests throughout the show: Professor Jasper Kim of Ewha University, founder and CEO of the Asia-Pacific Global Research Group in Seoul. And Ralph Silva of the Silva Research Network, in Toronto.
