A landmark review calls for transformational change in our economic approach to nature. We hear from Ben Groom, a professor of biodiversity economics at the University of Exeter, who was involved in the review.
Also in the programme, the BBC's Ed Butler reports on whether money was the driving force behind this week's coup in Myanmar. And we hear how foreigners with investments there are responding from Hans Vriens, managing partner at Vriens and Partners, a consultancy that handles around $4bn worth of projects in the country.
Plus, BBC technology reporter Zoe Kleinman explains how lockdown has affected the amount of data we're sharing with big technology firms.
