Singapore at 60: Raffles and the RepublicWe take a tour of one of the world's most famous luxury hotels, the Raffles in Singapore. Raffles' 83-year-old resident historian Leslie Danker tells us about some of the famous guests who have stayed in the Beach Road suites, including the author Somerset Maugham. But with Sikh doormen manning the lobby and a cocktail bar designed to evoke the days when British miners and planters dominated the local economy, the hotel can be read as an unapologetic celebration of the country's colonial era. As Singapore marks 60 years of independence, does it matter how hotels - and tourists - frame the past? If you'd like to get in touch with the programme, please email businessdaily@bbc.co.uk Presented and produced by Vivienne Nunis (Picture: Leslie Danker, resident historian at the Raffles Hotel, Singapore.)

From China to California: What's next for Chinese migrants?In 2023, Business Daily met Chinese people trying to get into the US using an unexpected route – the established migrant trail through South and Central America. We’ve re-connected with some of those migrants who have made it across the border and are now living in California. Have they managed to find work and accommodation? And what are their plans for the future given US President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration? Presented and produced by Shawn Yuan Additional production by David Cann and Helen Thomas (Image: Pan, a man in his fifties from China, now works at a Chinese restaurant in Barstow, California, after having come to the US by way of Latin America two years ago)

The quiet power behind smart techWiFi, Bluetooth, and mobile networks are familiar names in wireless communication - but there’s a fourth contender transforming everything from city water systems to African wildlife conservation. LPWAN - or Low Power Wide Area Network technology - is used when you need to send small amounts of data over long distances, using very little power. We head to rural Portugal where it's used for solar and water systems, and from conservation parks in Africa to find out how this low-cost network could become the most influential wireless tech of them all.

France: Building a ‘war economy’France, the world's second-biggest arms exporter, is expected to double military spending in the next two years.

Business Daily meets: Sean TurnellThe university academic was working in Australia when he developed an interest in Myanmar. He then became an adviser to Aung San Suu Kyi but was jailed for nearly two years by the country’s military regime following the 2021 coup. Sean Turnell recalls the moment of his arrest and tells us about the harsh conditions he endured – and how books, along with pacing the length of his tiny cell, helped him survive. He also reflects on Myanmar’s deepening economic crisis – and shares his hopes for the country’s future. Produced and presented by Sam Fenwick (Sean Turnell with Myanmar's former leader Aung San Suu Kyi)

Thailand and Malaysia: Powered by migrantsAround a fifth of the workforce in both come from abroad. That’s much more than in most high income countries - and these workers are key to powering growth and economic development. However as we hear, life can be incredibly difficult for migrant workers in South East Asia. Produced and presented by Ed Butler (Image: A Myanmar migrant worker harvests chilies on the bank of the Moei River, which separates Thailand and Myanmar in July 2025. Credit: Getty Images)

Zambia: Copper countryThe African nation relies heavily on its copper industry and exports – the football team is even nicknamed Chipolo-polo - The Copper Bullets. Now, US President Donald Trump has announced a new 50% tariff on copper imports from early August. We explore the impact this could have on major copper producers, like Zambia and neighbouring DR Congo. Price volatility could affect earnings, but some companies are saying the long-term outlook still looks strong because of global demand for copper in data centres and EVs.

The Syrian businesses leaving TurkeySyria remains an unstable country, with outbreaks of deadly violence, yet many refugees in Turkey are still choosing to return home after their brutal dictator Bashar al-Assad was toppled in December. We’re in Little Syria, in Turkey’s largest city Istanbul, where lines of Arabic businesses once stood and where the streets are now noticeably quieter. As Syrians return home, what impact is that having on the Turkish economy? If you'd like to get in touch with the programme, please email businessdaily@bbc.co.uk Presented and produced by Emily Wither (Picture: Women pass by Syrian shops at Malta bazaar, with other mainly Syrian shopkeepers at Fatih district in Istanbul, Turkey, on the 6th of December 2024, two days before Bashar al-Assad was overthrown.

What next after India's sandal scandal?When Italian luxury brand Prada showcased leather sandals that looked a lot like India’s traditional Kolhapuri chappals, and didn't credit their roots, it sparked a debate over fair pay and recognition for local artisans. The company has since tried to make amends and has been speaking to local producers. We travel to Kolhapur, where these sandals are made to explore what this example means for the economics of luxury fashion. Presenter: Devina Gupta Producer: Andrew Clarence (Image: A shopkeeper shows a pair of Kolhapuri chappals displayed for sale at a street side shop in Maharashtra, India. Credit: Getty Images)
