Uganda's Gold Rush

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Thousands of Ugandans have left their homes to chase their fortunes underground. The BBC's Vivienne Nunis reports on an unregulated gold rush. And she hears why Uganda has been commended by the UN and IMF for its treatment of refugees. Also in the programme, the BBC's Will Bain finds out about Uganda's tourism sector. Plus we ask economist Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute why President Trump is still struggling to win congressional approval for his economic plans. (Picture: Gold miners. Picture credit: BBC.)
