The latest on Hurricane Ian as it makes landfall in the US state of Florida.

Professor Ricardo Torres, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of Havana and has family living in Florida joins us to discuss the impact of Hurricane Ian. We also look at what the storm could means for the economies of Cuba and Florida with Lera Graeve, founder of Puppy Manor, a local business in Tampa.

Vera Wing-Han Yuen, assistant lecturer of Economics at the University of Hong Kong, takes us through the yuan's movements after China's currency fell to a 14-year low.

We remember the US rapper Coolio, who's died at the age of 59, with Ben Wynter, co-founder of London based talent management company Unstoppable Music Group, and the Power Up Initiative - which pushes anti-black racism in the music industry, 

And Denmark announces a "toned down" kit for the World Cup to protest against Qatar's alleged treatment of migrant workers. Phil Buckingham from The Athletic explains what that means for November's tournament and the wider game of football.
