Bangladesh has imposed strict lockdown measures, after a spike in coronavirus infections. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Nagib Bahar in Dhaka explains the new restrictions. During previous lockdowns the important garment sector was allowed to continue production, but factories have been told they must also close for a fortnight, and we get reaction from Rubana Huq of Mohammadi Group, which makes products including shirts and blouses. Also in the programme, we hear about a sharp rise in the share price of Indian food delivery app Zomato, which listed on the Mumbai stock exchange today. Segun Lawson is chief executive of Thor Explorations, and he tells us about the process of setting up Africa's first industrial-scale gold mine. Plus, we find out why Crocs shoes are proving more popular than ever from Teo van den Broeke, who is GQ magazine's style and grooming director.
