Two men are charged with meddling in the 2016 US election. As Donald Trump's former campaign chief is one of them, we assess where the inquiry is heading. Spain's central government has taken direct control of Catalan institutions, after Catalonia declared independence after a contested referendum. We hear the reaction from businesses in the country. We also assess the increase in the amount of money the TV industry is spending on its soundtracks; Professor Robert Thompson at Syracuse University in the US says it might be because TV theme tunes are better than they ever been - and that quality costs money. All this with live guests Dante Disparte, the founder and chief executive of Risk Co-operative in Washington DC and Simon Littlewood, the President of AC Growth Delivered in Singapore.
