US President Joe Biden has unveiled a $6 trillion budget plan. The ´óÏó´«Ã½'s North America business correspondent Michelle Fleury explains what he wants to spend it on, and how he going to pay for it. Police trying to halt illegal mining in Brazil's Amazon have allegedly been attacked by miners – who then went on to set indigenous homes on fire. We get the latest from of Ana Carolina Alfinito Vieira of Amazon Watch Brazil. Also in the programme, we have an in depth report on a water dispute between Ethiopia and its neighbours over a huge hydro-electric dam it is building on the Nile. Plus, a new app called Bugs Matter, launched in the UK by charity Buglife, is trying to get a picture of insects' prevalence by asking people to count the number of dead ones they find on their car after a journey. We hear from Buglife director Paul Hetherington.

All this and more discussed with our guest throughout the show, Sharon Bretkelly, co-host of Newsroom's daily podcast, The Detail, who's in Auckland, New Zealand.
