Austrian conservative Sebastian Kurz is set to become the world's youngest leader.

Austrian conservative Sebastian Kurz is set to become the world's youngest leader. Marcus Scheiblecker, deputy director of the Austrian Institute of Economic Research, considers the economic implications. Also in the programme, there are jitters in the energy markets, as Iraqi forces enter the Kurdish northern oil city of Kirkuk. Nick Coleman of S&P Global Platts explains why investors are nervous. We have a report from Liberia on the high costs faced by people living overseas and sending money home. There are concerns in the UK about a build up of debt among young people. Plus we travel to the childhood home of Sir Isaac Newton, who discovered gravity, to find out how he also made British coinage more secure.
