Voting in Kandahar is delayed after the Taliban shot dead a powerful Afghan police chief. Former economy minister Anwarulaq Ahadi reacts to the assassination of General Abdul Raziq, and considers the role the economy will play in elections which are going ahead in the rest of Afghanistan. And we get context from John McLeod, Afghanistan analyst at consulting firm Oxford Analytica. Also in the programme, we have a report from the Indian state of Sikkim, which has become India's first fully organic state. There's an international economics of happiness conference taking place in Bristol in the west of England this weekend. Liz Zeidler is chief executive of the charity Happy City, and explains how their 'thriving places index' is being used to assess personal wellbeing in the UK. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Jim Edwards, founder of Business Insider in London, and Melody Hahm, senior writer for Yahoo Finance in New York.
