George Weah faces huge challenges as the new President of Liberia, one of Africa's most troubled economies. An estimated 63% of Liberians live below the poverty line and the recent Ebola pandemic caused an already teetering economy to shrink by some 30%. Can an ex-footballer turn things around for the country? Tamasin Ford reports from the capital Monrovia and we hear from Liberian activist, Silas Siakor.

Plus, footballers in financial difficulty. We hear from Peter Fairchild, a partner at Smith & Williamson, a UK wealth and tax management company that helps Premier League footballers manage their finances.
