The billionaire entrepreneur was sent to England at the age of 13 after getting into trouble in his native India.

His family shared a house and his mother worked two jobs - something he said instilled in him the work ethic that led him to found his own hospitality businesses.

An interest in air travel led him to London's Heathrow Airport, the 4th largest airport in the world. But it was on the ground, in the hotel industry, that he made his fortune, with the Arora Group.

We hear Surinder Arora's story, and his proposals for an alternative way to expand Heathrow's capacity.

You might have seen it online - social media influencers sharing their morning routines before work. Some start as early as 4 or 5 AM, turning those hours into their personal 5-to-9 before the traditional 9-to-5 grind.

Michelle Obama, Bob Iger, and Apple CEO Tim Cook all claim to be up between 4 and 5 AM.

There’s a “5 AM club”, inspired by the habits of very successful people. But does waking up that early actually make us better at work?

And there’s even a whole industry of how to optimise your morning routine with supplements, journals and beauty products. In some cases, ice baths.

Against his better judgement, Business Daily's Matt Lines signed himself up to a week of 4 AM starts and met those for whom this is a way of life.

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?

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.

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.

As the continent aims to grow the sport, we hear from professional golfers who say they’re having to take on other jobs because there’s not enough money in the sport yet.

Would a more organised competition structure, with more regular competitions, offer more opportunities to win prize money?

The South African entrepreneur tells us about his experience growing up under the apartheid regime, before securing a scholarship that would take him to Harvard University in the US.

He's now returned home to set up Cloudline, an airship company which aims to deliver goods and carry out surveys in remote parts of Africa.

Airships are seeing something of a comeback, with investors seeing an opportunity for quick, green transportation without the need for complex infrastructure.

The sector is still in its early stages, but Spencer Horne explains why he's so passionate - and why he believes the technology is the answer to African growth.
