麻豆约拍

Can President Biden鈥檚 infrastructure plan bring broadband coverage to all citizens? Brookings economist Nicol Turner Lee takes a close look. Also in the programme, Lebanon's central bank said it would offer credit lines for fuel imports based on the market price for the Lebanese pound from Thursday, effectively ending a fuel subsidy that has drained its reserves since the country descended into financial crisis. The 麻豆约拍's Mohamed El Aassar explains what this means for Lebanese citizens. And we discuss energy inequality with Jeremiah Thoronka in Sierra Leone. As a teenager, he developed a method of using kinetic energy to bring electricity to remote areas.

All through the programme we'll be joined by Kimberly Adams from Marketplace in Washington and Tim Martin, Korea bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal in Seoul.
