The Bigger Picture: New Zealand farmers' rebellion, distrust of electric cars & private police forces
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University highlights a growing disillusionment around the world with governments and the services they provide. In New Zealand farmers have united to dismantle some of Jacinda Ardern's climate policies, UK polls show that the public overwhelmingly do not trust electric vehicles, which have many more disadvantages than were initially apparent and, again in the UK, major retailers are increasingly turning to private police companies to prosecute the shoplifters because the official police will not do so.

The Bigger Picture: Starmer's Gaza position, the Covid inquiry, the AI summit and a Halloween general election?
Political commentator Mike Indian looks at the way Gaza has exposed divisions in the UK's political parties and examines Keir Starmer's stance. He discusses the "macho culture" in Number Ten exposed by the Covid inquiry and points to lessons we should draw from it so far. He considers Rishi Sunak's AI summit and what it might lead to. And he speculates whether we might have a Halloween general election next year.

The Business of Film: Five Nights at Freddy's, Cat Person & Pain Hustlers

The Business of Film: Five Nights at Freddy's, Cat Person & Pain Hustlers
James Cameron-Wilson laments a limp box office dominated by video game spinoff Five Nights at Freddy's which took a robust £5.3m. James found it ridiculous and repetitive. He still recommends the Scorsese (#3) and The Creator (#9). On in relatively few cinemas, he's glad he sought out Cat Person, which took just £79,000. A drama about the horrors of dating, he found it funny and intentionally excruciating. He also admires Pain Hustlers on Netflix with Emily Blunt. Although not a true story as such, it is about Big Pharma hoodwinking the public and is highly entertaining.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: The consumer sector and investing in Vietnam
Neil Shah of Edison Group tells SImon Rose of Edison's study into the consumer sector, which has been affected by the hit to consumer confidence. There's plenty of value in the sector and the report lists companies which have had upgrades but not seen share reactions. The changed environment is exposing those companies which have weak business models. He also highlights Vietnam Holdings, an investment trust which has outperformed the market in that dynamic economy. At some stage, Vietnam will cease to be considered a frontier market and valuations will change as a result. Both reports are on the Edison website.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Bunny hops in the garage, haptic gloves & electric car troubles
Steve Caplin discussses the latest tech with Simon Rose. Mountain bikers can practise bunny hops in their garage with the Garage Bunny. Haptic gloves should add realistic touch to the world of immersive VR. A new riot gun won't fire at anyone's head. It's been proven that bad grammar causes real stress. The Guardian has collated some of the worst stories of electric cars going rogue. There's a chair for when you're tired of standing at your standing desk. A beautiful programmable mechanical music box may be a little too pricy. And mice embryos have been grown on the International Space Station.

The Hypnotist: Hooponopono Prayer for Forgiveness and Compassion
Forgiveness is generally known as a two-way process: asking for it, and giving it. However, stress, resentment and anger can be bottled up inside you, and if the other party is not around — or perhaps has died leaving that unfinished business — it may be wise to move on from the emotional turbulence which can get in the way of a better quality of life. Adam Cox uses the Hooponopono prayer as the basis finding forgiveness and compassion based on love.

Thought for the Week: What 'Love your enemy' means

Thought for the Week: What 'Love your enemy' means
This week's Thought proposes four key routes towards 'Loving your enemy', including a gradual transition from national to international law. This would mean justice not being constrained by national borders, so we could look forward to a system of international civil law enforcement replacing reliance on military force to resolve criminal outbreaks — it would also help us to resolve the challenges of climate change. Another element is restorative justice: Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu showed the world that such a system can provide a pathway to peace in the most challenging of circumstances. These initiatives, based on an understanding of unconditional love and an equitable sharing of resources, can provide a way forward from our current woes.
