President Biden visits Motor City: Detroit, Michigan, where General Motors unveiled their new electric vehicle plant. Biden was there to talk up his infrastructure bill and to promote the transition to electric vehicles which he says will bring jobs to America. We hear from Steve Carmody, a reporter for Radio Michigan, and speak to Edward Alden at the Council on Foreign Relations about how the infrastructure bill could ruffle feathers in Canada and Mexico. In India, taxation on alcohol is undergoing huge reforms as government run retailers are replaced by private outlets; the BBC’s Davina Gupta tells us more. Apple concedes that its customers can repair their own products after lengthy disputes against the so-called Right to Repair – Nathan Proctor of the US Public Interest Research Group explains what it all means. A Korean movie has become the biggest grossing film in the world this year, and troubling allegations are made against one of Kenya’s largest conservation agencies.

Throughout the programme we’re joined by Jyoti Malhotra, National & Strategic Affairs Editor at The Print in Delhi, and Steven Bertoni, Editor at Forbes in New York.
