Also on the programme: the head of Spain’s football federation refuses to step down after kissing footballer Jenni Hermoso without her consent at the World Cup Final; and ‘Swiftonomics’ - the economic bounce that occurs in cities hosting Taylor Swift concerts.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Singaporean journalist and social activist Kristen Han and Fola Aina, an international security and development policy expert at the Royal United Services Institute.
