	Description:		An agreed global minimum 15% corporate tax rate draws closer as Ireland signs up. Dr Brian Keenan is director of public policy at Chartered Accountants Ireland and discusses the background to the latest developments. Also in the programme, the BBC's Thomas Naadi reports on the problem of discarded 'fast fashion' clothing items from western countries ending up in landfill in Africa. Electric car maker Tesla's boss Elon Musk has announced that the firm will move its headquarters from California to Texas. Plus, with a growing number of people choosing to work long past their 60s, we meet Kenya-based artist Geraldine Robarts, who is still picking up her paintbrush at the age of 82. Today's edition is presented by Lucy Burton, and produced by Philippa Goodrich and Benjie Guy. (Picture: Ireland's finance minister Paschal Donohoe. Picture credit: Press Association.)
