• The rise of online therapy

  It started with a man and a couch. Today, it’s an industry worth half a trillion dollars. The growing demand for therapy has made it a lucrative sector, with more and more digital mental health tools emerging. We ask if ethics can keep pace with change in the industry, and if the tech is serving those who need it the most?Presented and produced by Laura Heighton-Ginns(Picture: A home-based online therapist in virtual counseling session.

• Who is financing Myanmar's civil war?

  We’re in Myanmar, a country that’s been ravaged by intense fighting for decades. But especially so since a military coup overthrew the elected government in 2021. We’re asking who and what is paying for each side’s war effort, and the military hardware, in what’s becoming an increasingly high-tech war.If you'd like to get in touch with Business Daily, our email address is [email protected] and produced by Ed Butler(Picture: 3D printers are used to make parts of assault rifles produced in a clandestine weapon factory in Myanmar.

• Turkey's 'Year of the Family'

  Turkey is facing a growing global problem: a declining birth rate. The number of babies being born reached an all-time low in 2024, of 1.48 children born per woman - that’s well below the replacement level of 2.10. The country's President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is calling the drop in fertility rate "a disaster" and has declared 2025 the "Year of the Family", promising incentives for parents. President Erdoğan is focusing on saving traditional family values, which he says are under threat, and is encouraging women to have at least three children. However, many in Turkey say it is the faltering economy - with inflation at around 35% - that is making it impossible to grow their families.If you'd like to get in touch with the programme, you can email us: [email protected] Presented and produced by Emily Wither with Zeynep Bilginsoy(Picture: A mother holds her baby during a visit to Anitkabir, the mausoleum of Turkish Republic's Founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk on National Sovereignty and Children's Day, a national holiday dedicated to children, in Ankara.
