The Bigger Picture: The death of Queen Elizabeth and an overview of the new Truss government
Political commentator Mike Indian looks at the aftermath of the death of Queen Elizabeth and the reaction of the political world and considers how the new Prime Minister coped. He assesses the new Truss appointments, good and perhaps not so good. Although it was somewhat overshadowed by the breaking news, he looks at the PM's energy plan and, briefly, considers what recent advances by Ukraine's troops might mean for Russia and Ukraine.

The Bigger Picture: The mini-budget and the market response & the Labour Party conference
Political commentator Mike Indian discusses with Simon Rose the Chancellor's mini-budget and the market turmoil it caused, as well as criticism from the International Monetary Fund. Arguing that previous dashes for growth didn't end well, he asks if there really is a correlation between the tax burden and growth and whether the level of regulation in the UK really is too high? He also looks at the Labour Party conference, understanding the confidence but pointing out that Keir Starmer is still missing a narrative of excitement.

The Bigger Picture: What can we expect of the PM, Energy and Russia & Reflections on the late Queen.
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University discusses what we might expect from Liz Truss as Prime Minister. He points out how long it has been since the Government (or Opposition) had a clear strategy. He also wonders where the Russian economy is heading now that Europe appears to be weaning itself off the country's energy. And he reflects on the late Queen and her funeral, surprising himself with the realisation that her death appears to have taught many of us something about ourselves.

The Business of Film: Both Sides of the Blade, Identification of a Woman & I Came By - 22 Sep 22
James Cameron-Wilson laments a further decline in the UK box office, off another 31%. See How They Run is still #1 with Bowie doc Moonage Daydream at #10. The worthwhile but uncomfortable drama Both Sides of the Blade with Juliette Binoche only managed #48. Cleaned up for a Blu-Ray release is Antonioni's 1982 provocative arthouse film Identification of a Woman. James was pleasantly surprised by I Came By, an unsettling dystopian view of Britain today with George Mackay and Hugh Bonneville, which is on Netflix.

The Business of Film: See How They Run, Jaws, 3000 Years of Longing & Prima Facie
James Cameron-Wilson reports that cinema box office in the UK is currently grim, down 16% on last year at this time. New #1, comedy whodunnit See How They Run, just managed to take over £1m. James found it a hoot. A re-release of Jaws from 1975 was #3 while 3000 Years of Longing with Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba only managed #18, though James wasn't enthusiastic. At #22 is Jodie Comer in Prima Facie, now the highest-grossing event cinema release ever. At #23 was the unengaging The Forgiven with Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Interest rate decisions from the Fed and the BoE
Victoria Scholar of Interactive Investor discusses with Simon Rose the Fed's hiking of interest rates by 75 basis points, with indications they have further to go. The move strengthened the dollar still further. In the UK, the Bank of England opted for a 50 basis point rise, rather than 75 (the highest level since 2008), with the MPC split over the decision. With the pound continuing to weaken, she also discusses why former ratesetter Danny Blanchflower has said investors should short sterling.

With Ben van Beurden stepping down as CEO of Shell, Russ Mould of A J Bell looks at the tenure of senior chief executives. With 9 years at the helm, he's the 24th-longest serving FTSE100 boss, the average currently being 6 years. Perhaps it was just a good time to leave. Russ also looks at the growing list of companies showing signs of demand ebbing or cost pressures building – or both.

Share Radio's tech maven Steve Caplin tells Simon Rose about the new iPhone 14, which can tell if you're involved in a crash. The new iOS lets you unsend texts while the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra has a camera with abundant pixels. There'll soon be 3D-printed Wagyu beef while LG have a fridge with mood lights and bluetooth speakers. And if you're worried that robots might be too solemn, Japanese scientists have worked out how to make them laugh.
