'Monster' Hurricane Lashes the US

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Hurricane Michael has hit the southeastern US hard and suddenly. With winds of up to 250 km an hour and a storm surge of almost three meters in places, it is being described as the most powerful to hit the region in decades. We get the latest. More than 2000 people were killed by an earthquake in Sulawesi in Indonesia last month, with many parts of the city of Palu reduced to rubble. But, we hear that there are some signs of normal life returning. Also on the programme - what are the economics behind clearing land mines? And, we chat with Ian Bremmer, the head of the Eurasia Foundation, about whether we are getting to the end of the global world order as we know it. Plus, where is the best place in the world to live? Presenter Roger Hearing is joined by Laura Lynch in Canada and Andrew Peaple in Hong Kong. PHOTO: Getty Images
