An empty airport, a railway to nowhere and China’s trillion-dollar plan

China is pouring billions of dollars into other countries’ infrastructure projects - some of which have been hugely successful. In this episode we’re asking why and also take a look into some of the plans that haven’t quite panned out. Nikhil Inamdar tells us about a Sri Lankan airport with no travellers and Anne Soy takes us onboard Kenya’s “railway to nowhere”.

Plus we here from Celestine Karoney about the hopes and dreams for the brand new African Football League.
