Ride sharing firm Lyft aims to raise around $24bn from a New York share issue on Friday. We hear from some Lyft drivers about their views on the company, and Andrew Hawkins, US technology specialist on The Verge, assesses Lyft's prospects. Also in the programme, with Brexit seemingly in a state of paralysis, we talk to small businesses at a conference of the British Chambers of Commerce about their concerns. Plus we have a report from the Australian island of Tasmania about the challenges faced by an industry there growing around half of the world's legal opium supply.
