Donald Trump will open the White House to the leader of Kenya for talks aimed at strengthening trade ties. American businesses are competing with Chinese investment to secure deals in Kenya, the gateway to the East African Community, a common market with 146 million consumers. Aubrey Hruby, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council's Africa Centre, in Washington, gives us her analysis of what will be on the agenda. Also in the programme, we reflect on the life of Senator John McCain, prisoner of war, presidential candidate and one of the most influential American politicians of his generation who has died. We hear from Patricia O'Connell, an economic commentator and former editor at Business Week tells us why he was considered a maverick. Plus, how a Chinese company plans to be the first private firm in the country to launch a satellite rocket. Astronomer and space technology expert Dr David Whitehouse outlines China's interest in the development of smaller satellites.
