The Bigger Picture: What can we expect of the PM, Energy and Russia & Reflections on the late Queen.
Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University discusses what we might expect from Liz Truss as Prime Minister. He points out how long it has been since the Government (or Opposition) had a clear strategy. He also wonders where the Russian economy is heading now that Europe appears to be weaning itself off the country's energy. And he reflects on the late Queen and her funeral, surprising himself with the realisation that her death appears to have taught many of us something about ourselves.

The Business of Film: Both Sides of the Blade, Identification of a Woman & I Came By - 22 Sep 22
James Cameron-Wilson laments a further decline in the UK box office, off another 31%. See How They Run is still #1 with Bowie doc Moonage Daydream at #10. The worthwhile but uncomfortable drama Both Sides of the Blade with Juliette Binoche only managed #48. Cleaned up for a Blu-Ray release is Antonioni's 1982 provocative arthouse film Identification of a Woman. James was pleasantly surprised by I Came By, an unsettling dystopian view of Britain today with George Mackay and Hugh Bonneville, which is on Netflix.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Ig Nobel prizes, cyborg cockroaches, a moon simulator & concrete inflatable buildings

There's also news of how AI can change the accents of cold callers, of a giant simulated moon you can visit, how building blueprints can be interpreted by robots, how cockroaches can be turned into cyborgs for dangerous situations, how concrete buildings can be easily constructed using inflatable forms, a motorless food blender, a clever camping lantern and why Janet Jackson might crash your laptop.

The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors: The tenure of company CEOs
With Ben van Beurden stepping down as CEO of Shell, Russ Mould of A J Bell looks at the tenure of senior chief executives. With 9 years at the helm, he's the 24th-longest serving FTSE100 boss, the average currently being 6 years. Perhaps it was just a good time to leave. Russ also looks at the growing list of companies showing signs of demand ebbing or cost pressures building – or both.

The Business of Film: See How They Run, Jaws, 3000 Years of Longing & Prima Facie
James Cameron-Wilson reports that cinema box office in the UK is currently grim, down 16% on last year at this time. New #1, comedy whodunnit See How They Run, just managed to take over £1m. James found it a hoot. A re-release of Jaws from 1975 was #3 while 3000 Years of Longing with Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba only managed #18, though James wasn't enthusiastic. At #22 is Jodie Comer in Prima Facie, now the highest-grossing event cinema release ever. At #23 was the unengaging The Forgiven with Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain.

Gadgets & Gizmos: iPhone 14, iOS16, 3D Wagyu beef, disco fridges & laughing robots
Share Radio's tech maven Steve Caplin tells Simon Rose about the new iPhone 14, which can tell if you're involved in a crash. The new iOS lets you unsend texts while the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra has a camera with abundant pixels. There'll soon be 3D-printed Wagyu beef while LG have a fridge with mood lights and bluetooth speakers. And if you're worried that robots might be too solemn, Japanese scientists have worked out how to make them laugh.

The Bigger Picture: The death of Queen Elizabeth and an overview of the new Truss government
Political commentator Mike Indian looks at the aftermath of the death of Queen Elizabeth and the reaction of the political world and considers how the new Prime Minister coped. He assesses the new Truss appointments, good and perhaps not so good. Although it was somewhat overshadowed by the breaking news, he looks at the PM's energy plan and, briefly, considers what recent advances by Ukraine's troops might mean for Russia and Ukraine.

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. He also explains why investors in it for the long term should not try to second-guess what politicians are going to do.
