How to apologise to a king

Available for over a year

After publicly criticising the Ashanti King, Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II, journalist Afia Pokua had to apologise following a strict traditional protocol. BBC Africa's Daniel Dadzie explains how royal apologies work in Ghana, and why Afia didn't get a pardon. Plus, how to say 'I'm sorry' in Urdu, Russian, Korean, Chinese and Tajiki - and why some people in Hong Kong feel taxi drivers owe them an apology, with Martin Yip from BBC Chinese. Saad Sohail from BBC Urdu has the latest on the cloud of smog choking Lahore, in Pakistan. Produced by Caroline Ferguson, Alice Gioia and Hannah Dean. (Photo: Faranak Amidi.
