We start in India where the country is beginning seven days of national mourning for the former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who has died at the age of 92.
He's credited with liberalising India's economy during a 1991 currency so setting the nation on a path of global influence.
To find out more about how he did that, I've been speaking to our India business correspondent, Archana Shukla.
Manmohan Singh was an economist turned politician.
He was the 14th Prime Minister of India and after Jawaharlander, who was the only second Prime Minister to serve two full terms between 2004 and 2014.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi would become the third eventually.
But during his time he was one of the only politicians to have won to full terms.
