Hurricane Irma Rampages Through the Caribbean

Available for over a year

The Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda says 90% of buildings have been damaged. We get an update from Puerto Rico - the next island in Irma's firing line. Plus, we speak to Diane Swonk of DS Economics in Chicago following the resignation of the US Federal Reserve's vice chairman, Stanley Fischer. And we hear how cannabis-based medication could tackle the opioid epidemic in the US and Canada. Fergus Nicoll is joined by James Kirchick, visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington DC, and Simon Littlewood, president of the Asia Now Consulting Group, from Singapore.
