Along the way, we hear about his early days as a trainee journalist, his time as the BBC's Africa Correspondent, and the evolution of The Jeremy Vine Show across radio and television.Now embracing an exciting new chapter, Jeremy also talks about his lifelong love of Agatha Christie and how it led him to write his own crime novel, Murder on Line One. He reflects on the challenges of fiction writing, the thrill of creating a whodunnit, and how he fits it all in alongside his packed broadcasting schedule.His debut novel, Murder on Line One—the first in his brand-new crime series—is available now wherever you get your books, and you can catch him every weekday on The Jeremy Vine Show on Channel 5 and BBC Radio 2.We'd love for you to fill out our latest listener survey, so we can hear more about what you like about the show and any extra content you'd like to see from us.

Fifty years ago, the British government forcibly evicted all the people living on the Chagos Islands to make way for a US military base. Now, as part of a campaign by Mauritius to highlight its claim to the islands, a small group have returned for a visit – erecting the Mauritian flag there. Also on the boat was the BBC's Africa Correspondent, Andrew Harding, who helped us pick apart all the issues involved. So was this just a publicity stunt – or might it lead to what many of the Chagossians want: for them to be allowed to go home to the islands for good? #AfricaDaily Host: Alan Kasujja (@Kasujja) Guests: Andrew Harding (@AndrewWJHarding)

Erik Esbjörnsson has been the Africa correspondent for the Swedish daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter since 2010. He spent six years in Nairobi before moving to Johannesburg in 2016.  He had an inkling things were about to change in South Africa and Zimbabwe and wanted to be closer to the action. Over the last decade he has traveled all over the continent. His most recent reporting, before the travel ban came into effect, was from Sudan. A few months ago he tracked down his great-grandparents home in Goma while on assignment in the DRC. Of course we spent quite a bit of the podcast discussing a number of different aspects to the corona virus pandemic including the South African government's response, and the seeming breakdown in international solidarity that the pandemic has provoked. We also chatted about Erik's childhood and his path to journalism, as well as some of the highlights of his decade recording events across Africa over the last decade.

And through that lens, Eric can talk eloquently and knowledgeably about many aspects of journalism today, including issues of bias; censorship; his relationship with the public online; the relationship between officials and the online media; and the way in which China's soft power is being felt in places like Africa and beyond.  Since Eric has so many interesting things to say, it was very difficult to keep the interview short.

Could drones, and other robotics, provide an answer to some of the most persistent humanitarian and development challenges? Drones are just one example of a range of new frontier technologies that “tech for good” advocates claim as potentially paradigm-shifting for developing countries. However, even as sources of investment and knowledge-sharing increase, there remain obstacles and concerns – including issues around regulation, privacy and data protection, health and safety, and public understanding – and critics seek more evidence of cost-effectiveness and more positive engagement with the communities served. In this special event in partnership with Crown Agents Foundation, RSA Chief Executive Matthew Taylor discusses how we fulfil the humanitarian promise of technological advance with Tamara Giltsoff, Head of Innovation at the Department for International Development, whose ambition it is to bring tech innovation into day-to-day leadership and delivery of UK aid; and former Africa Correspondent at the Economist, Jonathan Ledgard, whose vision is to transform drones into agents of hope, utilizing the lower skies of African cities under-served by infrastructure networks, to revolutionize cargo delivery for those who need it most. Marie Staunton, Chair of Crown Agents, SOAS and former Chief Executive of Plan International joins the debate to put the case for new partnerships to explore the potential impact of technology for public good.
