We hear how Morocco hopes to become the investment gateway to the African continent.

We hear how Morocco hopes to become the investment gateway to the African continent. Nabila Freidji is vice-president of CGEM, the Confederation of Businesses in Morocco, and explains how it hopes to do that. Luxembourg's deputy prime minister, Etienne Schneider tells us why his country is opening a trade and investment office in Casablanca. We talk to some of the young unemployed people in Morocco for whom such developments have little impact. And Jihane Lahbabi-Berrarda discusses a scheme her organisation Education for Employment in Morocco has developed to train unemployed graduates in skills like computer coding to make them more attractive to prospective employers. Plus our reporter takes Morocco's new high speed train from Tangier to Casablanca to find out about the impact it is having on the country's economy.
