Focus on Africa - Who is behind the border attack in Benin?
Benin forces have suffered heavy losses in an attack which the military chief described as 'a heavy blow'. The assault happened at one of Benin's most well-equipped military positions. So who was behind the attack and what does it tell us about Benin's security preparedness?
Also in the podcast, after São Tomé and Príncipe's president fired the prime minister accusing him of failing in his job, are political tensions on the verge of being ignited in the central African island nation?

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Could Congestion Pricing Work In Chicago?
Drivers in New York City will now have to pay $9 to enter the “congestion relief zone” below 60th Street in Manhattan. The tolls are expected to generate billions of dollars for the city and alleviate congestion for drivers. So, could it work in Chicago? Reset discusses with director of the Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development at DePaul University Joseph Schwieterman, research professor in the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy Justin Marlowe and Director of Transportation at Metropolitan Planning Council Audrey Wennink.

Unexpected Elements - Scientist spotlight
Team Unexpected have been digging into their mind palaces to pull on the scientific research that has stuck with them most over the past year. We hear from Professor John Parnell, geologist at the University of Aberdeen, about the role of plankton in forming ancient mountains. How ocean bubbles play a role in climate regulation with bubble physicist Dr Helen Czerski from University College London. Would you know how to measure the size of a bubble? We also participate in some memory sports with Jonas von Essen who is a two-time world memory champion. He helps us construct a mind palace in order to memorise really long strings of digits. Plus we look into the backstory of the human buttocks with science journalist and reporter Heather Radke. She answers the question ‘why do we humans have such large behinds?’ And we hear from Professor Andre Isaacs at the College of the Holy Cross who has filled his chemistry lab with music and dance in order to change perceptions about who can be a scientist. That, plus many more Unexpected Elements. Presenter: Marnie Chesterton Producer: Jonathan Blackwell and Harrison Lewis with Imaan Moin and Alice Lipscombe-Southwell
