  • Is Donald Trump's comeback bad news for green energy?
    Donald Trump's return to the White House has raised big questions about what he'll do to the US' growing green energy sector. On the campaign trail he promised to undo Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, the biggest piece of climate legislation in US history. The IRA gives incentives and tax breaks for green industries and has created hundreds of thousands of jobs, many of those in Republican voting states. President-elect Trump also pledged to end offshore wind "on day one" and reverse emissions rules aimed at increasing the number of electric cars on America's roads.Will he keep those promises? And what of the influence of Elon Musk, the world's richest man, now in Donald Trump's inner circle? Is he worrying about what a Trump presidency might mean for his car company Tesla and will he be lobbying behind the scenes on behalf of electric vehicles?We hear what people in those sectors think will happen under Trump 2.0. Can the renewables industry survive or even grow over the next four years?Produced and presented by Lexy O'Connor(Image: President-elect Donald Trump and Elon Musk talk during a UFC event in New York.

  • Could footballers go on strike?
    Earlier this year, Manchester City midfielder Rodri issued a warning that players were "close" to taking strike action over their increased workload.Rodri played 63 competitive games for club and country last season. But a recent report found that a player welfare 'red line' was a maximum of between 50 and 60 matches per season, depending on a player's age.Some of the game's biggest names have joined Rodri in threatening to walk out, and the union that represents them is launching legal action against the sport's governing body, FIFA.But there's a lot of money invested in football, so what's the likelihood the sport might change to stop players feeling over-stretched? And is strike action likely or even possible?(Picture: Empty stadium with floodlights shining down on a football on the pitch. Credit: Getty Images)Presented and produced by Matt Lines

  • Sweden’s #softgirls trend
    We find out why, in a country famous for championing gender equality, some women are choosing to become stay-at-home wives and girlfriends.The social media #softgirl trend is a small but growing minority, who say they do not want the stress of juggling family and work. They want a 'softer' life - with more balance and not having to focus on a career. It has triggered cultural and political debates across Sweden where feminism has been a part of mainstream politics since the 1950s.Producer/presenter: Maddy Savage(Image: Vilma Larsson)

  • Ghana’s illegal gold mines
    Ghana is a global gold mining powerhouse and Africa's biggest producer. The informal mining sector of gold – known locally as “galamsey” - is a big election issue here. There have been recent marches demanding tougher action against illegal miners in Accra. But illegal mining is also a major source of employment. More than a million Ghanaians make their living from galamsey. We hear from local galamsey miners and look at the negative impact this industry is having on both the workers in terms of health, the environment, and the wider community.
