Money: The Power to Shape our Lives

As part of the Money and Power season, Pascale Harter presents a special live edition of the programme from outside New Broadcasting House – the home of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ in the heart of London. As all foreign correspondents know money, and the power it can wield, continually shape and reshape the world we live in:
Ahead of elections in Mexico, Shaimaa Khalil finds that despite the rich and poor living in seemingly different worlds they are united in their fear of rising levels of violence.
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet searches for hope within Afghanistan’s constant power struggles and its forever war. "Will it now get better?" people are asking again.
Ben Zand discovers that life is cheap in Venezuela as he meets one of the kidnap gangs that prowl the capital and manages to escape with his life and his watch – just.
And as Justin Rowlatt prepares to leave India and auctions off his belongings, he learns that you can put a price on just about anything.
