Tue, 11 Feb 14

We're live at the Singapore Airshow 2014, where our correspondent, Puneet Pal¹ Singh, gets to enjoy the thrills and glamour² amid the multi-billion dollar deals. In Vietnam, four decades since the war ended, McDonalds has opened its first restaurant . . . And the queues were around the block. We'll be tucking into a Big Mac at around 0115-GMT with Vietnamese culture and tarvel writer James Pham. Joining us from Cornell University, Professor Eswar Prasad tells us why the dollar's not done for. And Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times laments³ her lack of lustrous⁴ locks and wonders what hairstyle best projects confidence.
