As Kazakh forces kill dozens of protesters we examine the economic roots of the conflict. Lilit Gevorgyan is an expert on the former Soviet republics at the research company IHS, and explains how Kazakhstan's economy actually works. Also in the programme, a group of investors are pressuring global vaccine manufacturers to do more to get Covid vaccines more widely distributed around the world. Rogier Krens is chief investment officer at Achmea Investment Management and tells us why he coordinated the effort. Kenya's government plans to cancel more then 400 infrastructure projects that have stalled because of a lack of cash. The 主播大秀's Michael Kaloki in Nairobi brings us up to speed. With the Consumer Electronics Show now under way in Las Vegas, British entrepreneur and electronics designer Mark Gooday of Ashdown Engineering discusses why he decided to be at this year's show. Plus, with no official government subsidies to help cut the cost of electric cars in Australia, a business opportunity has opened up for firms offering to import cheaper second-hand electric vehicles from Japan. We find out more from Ben Lippa, who runs J Spec Imports in Melbourne.
