The Bigger Picture: The PM's Energy Speech
The sad news of the Queen's death cut right across the House of Commons debate on Energy, and wholly understandably eclipsed reporting on this important subject. The Government's strategy is based on a set of significantly new principles, particularly on energy supply, and we therefore thought it appropriate to bring you Liz Truss's opening speech, complete with points of order, setting out the way forward.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Markets worry about central banks but should ignore politicians
Russ Mould of A J Bell says that, for the moment, markets are dancing to the central banks' tune, with the Fed talking tough and the Bank of England and European Central Bank following in their wake.

The Business of Film: Beast, The Invitation & Memory
James Cameron-Wilson on the UK box office where no film took over a million for the first time since December 2020. Top of the charts is André Rieu's latest concert with rogue lion thriller Beast, starring Idris Elba, only taking £600,000 at #2. Dreadful horror film The Invitation limped in at #12. On Amazon Prime, James looked at Memory, a poor thriller starring Liam Neeson, directed by the once-great Martin Campbell.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Laser phone charging, sulphur batteries & facial recognition for salmon
Steve Caplin talks tech with Simon Rose. The Koreans are developing infrared lasers that can charge your phone when you walk into the room, while MIT has come up with batteries from aluminium, sulphur and salt, superior to the Li-ion type. There's also an idea for getting energy from waves, facial recognition for one type of salmon, how Surrey Police have been tricking drivers by manipulating Waze and an e-VTOL plane that can land in your garden – with an optional parachute.

The Bigger Picture: Gorbachev RIP, Saudi's diplomatic moment & the West's vortex of doom
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University pays tribute to Mikhail Gorbachev, explaining his great historic importance. He discusses how Saudi Arabia is seizing the diplomatic opportunity presented by the energy crisis. And he looks at the economic woes of the free world which could lead to an economic meltdown, arguing that the UK's new Prime Minister will have to be very radical not to play into Putin's hands.

The Bigger Picture: Qualifications in a complex economy, Brexit in danger & Ukraine six months on
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University looks at the importance of qualifications in an increasingly complex economy, so different from that of students' parents' generation and earlier. He discusses why relatively little advantage has so far been taken of the UK leaving the EU and remarks that big changes often come out of a time of crisis. And, six months on, he looks Ukraine and how Russia has lost ground since mid-March, wiping out its military's high reputation with the conflict coming more to resemble WW1's trench warfare.

The Business of Film: Fisherman's Friends 2, The Saphead & Official Competition
James Cameron-Wilson takes us through the UK box office chart, still led by Nope. Fisherman's Friends: One And All, James found a frequently funny and superior sequel but it only managed #6 with £660,000. For his Blu-Ray of the week he chose the 1920 silent The Saphead, a romantic tragedy with Buster Keaton's first feature appearance and a host of wonderful extras. On in cinemas and on Curzon Home Cinema, James loved the thought-provoking, film-related comedy Official Competition with Penelope Cruz and Antonio Banderas.

Steve Caplin marvels at a website that will separate out voices and instruments giving you ready-made karaoke. He reveals that pain relief works better lying down, but only on one side and discusses a beautiful and nippy submarine, a limited edition Bugatti, an 87mph electric unicycle, clever rear bike lights and NASA's revelation of the sound of a black hole in the Perseus galaxy, 240m light years away.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Why Jackson Hole is vital this year
Victoria Scholar of Interactive Investor tells Simon Rose why the Jackson Hole central bank symposium in Wyoming is so important this year and what we might expect Fed Chair Jay Powell to say. With the severity of inflation a major driver of markets, we can expect them to be jittery for some time. In the UK, the new price cap will have a big effect on the CPI numbers.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: Inflation & Interest Rates, Retailers & Darktrace
Danni Hewson of A J Bell discusses the latest inflation numbers with Simon Rose (with reference to her early record collection) and what might yet happen with interest rates. While many retailers are under pressure, she points out that life is different for those at the luxury end of the market. She discusses the bid, finally, for Ted Baker and what is probably the start of a massive bidding war for cybersecurity company Darktrace. She points out how cheap the UK market is for American investors and explains why it is so difficult growing complicated tech firms within the UK.
