The private space rocket Antares has exploded at lift-off in the US. What does this mean for the growing commercialisation of space?

Also, we'll hear why a truce in Europe's budget battle could spell trouble ahead.

We've got a swine of a story about the half a million wild pigs in the US state of Lousiana. They are running amok - and farmers are gunning for them.

Also on the programme we meet the couple who got together partly through their love of collecting Hello Kitty memorabilia.

Throughout the programme we're joined by two guests on opposite sides of the Pacific - David Kuo in Singapore and Jessica Beineicke in New York.
