The wholesale price of gas has soared in the UK, Europe and Asia because of a squeeze on supplies. Ellen Fraser, energy expert at Barringa Partners, explains how a perfect storm of problems has created the energy crisis, while independent economist Michael Hughes weighs in on how the resultant inflation effects might weight on central bankers' minds. Also in the programme, Canadians go to the polls on 20 September after a short 35-day election campaign sprint. Mark Agnew of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce explains what businesses are hoping for once the results are in. A new report shows how China continues to dominate the e-commerce market.
