The Seychelles elects its first president from the opposition party since 1977. With a tourism-focused economy, the island nation has been devastated by the global pandemic. We hear about its concerns over food security in the larger context of African nations. The ‘final, final’ stretch of negotiations over the UK’s decision to leave the EU are about to happen, promise experts – we mull over the final sticking points with economist Holger Schmieding.
