After three eventful party conferences, we're back in the studio with a look at two major policy issues. The latest economic data shows a return to weak growth in August, but our Senior UK Economist Dan Hanson tells us the outlook remains gloomy. Plus: as the Foreign Secretary James Cleverly visits Israel, we discuss the implications of the conflict with Hamas for the wider Middle East with Lebanon's Ambassador to the UK, Rami Mortada, military strategy expert Frank Ledwidge and Bloomberg's EMEA News Director Rosalind Mathieson. Hosted by Stephen Carroll and Yuan Potts.
