The Bigger Picture: Gorbachev RIP, Saudi's diplomatic moment & the West's vortex of doom
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University pays tribute to Mikhail Gorbachev, explaining his great historic importance. He discusses how Saudi Arabia is seizing the diplomatic opportunity presented by the energy crisis. And he looks at the economic woes of the free world which could lead to an economic meltdown, arguing that the UK's new Prime Minister will have to be very radical not to play into Putin's hands.

The Bigger Picture: The PM's Energy Speech
The sad news of the Queen's death cut right across the House of Commons debate on Energy, and wholly understandably eclipsed reporting on this important subject. The Government's strategy is based on a set of significantly new principles, particularly on energy supply, and we therefore thought it appropriate to bring you Liz Truss's opening speech, complete with points of order, setting out the way forward.

The Bigger Picture: Qualifications in a complex economy, Brexit in danger & Ukraine six months on
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University looks at the importance of qualifications in an increasingly complex economy, so different from that of students' parents' generation and earlier. He discusses why relatively little advantage has so far been taken of the UK leaving the EU and remarks that big changes often come out of a time of crisis. And, six months on, he looks Ukraine and how Russia has lost ground since mid-March, wiping out its military's high reputation with the conflict coming more to resemble WW1's trench warfare.

The Business of Film: Beast, The Invitation & Memory
James Cameron-Wilson on the UK box office where no film took over a million for the first time since December 2020. Top of the charts is André Rieu's latest concert with rogue lion thriller Beast, starring Idris Elba, only taking £600,000 at #2. Dreadful horror film The Invitation limped in at #12. On Amazon Prime, James looked at Memory, a poor thriller starring Liam Neeson, directed by the once-great Martin Campbell.

The Business of Film: Fisherman's Friends 2, The Saphead & Official Competition
James Cameron-Wilson takes us through the UK box office chart, still led by Nope. Fisherman's Friends: One And All, James found a frequently funny and superior sequel but it only managed #6 with £660,000. For his Blu-Ray of the week he chose the 1920 silent The Saphead, a romantic tragedy with Buster Keaton's first feature appearance and a host of wonderful extras. On in cinemas and on Curzon Home Cinema, James loved the thought-provoking, film-related comedy Official Competition with Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Why Jackson Hole is vital this year
Victoria Scholar of Interactive Investor tells Simon Rose why the Jackson Hole central bank symposium in Wyoming is so important this year and what we might expect Fed Chair Jay Powell to say. With the severity of inflation a major driver of markets, we can expect them to be jittery for some time. In the UK, the new price cap will have a big effect on the CPI numbers.
