The United States is warning the rest of the world that the US is the canary in the coalmine when it comes to the global opioid crisis. Our presenter Will Bain will be hearing what the US plans on doing.

We look at the challenges of exporting through the Red Sea during the holy month of Ramadan.

And St. Patricks Day is happening this weekend but how much of a boost will it bring to the US and Irish economy?

We will be joined throughout the programme by two guests on opposite side of the world: Takara Small technology journalist based in Toronto, Canada and Rachel Pupazzoni, national business reporter and presenter for ABC News in Perth, Australia.
