Zambia is set to receive a $1.3bn loan from the International Monetary Fund, after approval from the IMF’s board.

Zambia is set to receive a $1.3bn loan from the International Monetary Fund, after the Fund’s board approved the proposal. We speak to Zambian commentator Dr Sishuwa Sishuwa, who says the IMF and Zambian government have yet to clarify what terms the country has agreed to in order to qualify for the bailout.

Plus, we examine the economic impact for Ethiopia, after the United States withdrew from a proposed free trade deal with the country earlier this year, over reports of human rights abuses during the Tigray conflict.

And the editor of British Vogue magazine, Edward Enninful, tells us about how he developed an enthusiasm for fashion, and how his Ghanaian heritage has influenced his career.
