IMF says global growth 'surprisingly resilient' in updated forecast
The International Monetary Fund's new projections for 2023 show GDP for the world economy growing by 3.2 percent, compared to a 1.9 percent expansion last year.

Also on the programme, we report from Niger, where telecom operators have been forced to cancel a price hike after popular anger. Finally, we bid farewell to the iconic Boeing 747.
