Hurricane Ida heads for the US

Available for over a year

Two days ahead of Ida's expected arrival, President Biden has approved a request from the Governor of Louisiana, John Bel Edwards, to declare a state of emergency; we get analysis from Johnston Von Springer at WBRZ in Baton Rouge and Dakota Smith, a meteorologist and satellite data analyst at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere at Colorado State University. The head of the US Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, has addressed the virtual meeting of central bankers at Jackson Hole. We hear reaction from Chris Low at FHN Financial. And it's easy to get demoralised by the constant stream of bad news about climate change and teenagers have been particularly hard hit by this environmental anxiety; we hear from Kosi Amayo who's behind a new publishing company, Onwe Press, and the author of one of their forthcoming books, aimed at the young adult, market, Rab Ferguson, author of Landfill Mountains. And we're joined throughout the programme by Colin Peacock from Radio New Zealand. (Photo: storm over the sea via Getty Images)
