GDP is often used as an indicator of wellbeing but it doesn't account for social and environmental costs. And the figures can also mask problems accumulating in the background. But if we don't use GDP as a yardstick, what CAN we use?

The High Seas are a vast expanse of water and home to 90 percent of marine life but are largely unregulated. Fishing, research, deep-sea mining - all can take place at the expense of the environment. Now the United Nations has launched negotiations for an international treaty to protect the oceans. But when it comes to regulation, many countries don't want to get caught in the drag net.

Joining us is Harriet Harden-Davies, Research Fellow working on high seas governance at the Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security; Kristina Gjerde, Senior High Seas Policy Adviser for the International Union for Conservation of Nature; Tony Long, CEO of Global Fishing Watch; and Diva Amon, Deep sea Biologist at the Natural History Museum.

France has announced it will introduce military service in 2019 to promote social cohesion and national union. It's not a unique idea. Other countries around the world have full military service for months or even years. Can it really help the country or does forcing young people back into something they might not want to do anymore, cause problems?

Joining us is Jean-Vincent Brisset, former Brigadier General in the French army and ex-fighter pilot; Richard Vinen, Professor in History at King’s College London; Elisabeth Braw, Associate fellow at RUSI; James Rogers, Director of the Global Britiain Programme.

Compulsory military service or conscription as it's sometimes called.

Last year Sweden reintroduced it and German MPS are talking about bringing it back after it was suspended 11 years ago. Why are countries with professional forces looking to swell their ranks?

Supersonic travel meant flying from London to New York in 3.5 hours.

From the 1970's to early 2000's, Concorde was the way to fly until a devastating crash ended it all. Now Nasa and other investors are working on a new era of supersonic jets.

Soon, could we all be travelling the world faster than the speed of sound?
