Wholesale prices for gas and electricity have been rising sharply across Europe. That's likely to lead to significant cost increases for businesses and households, and we find out what's causing the issue from David Hunter, Director of Market Studies at Schneider Electric. Also in the programme, the world's first all-civilian mission to space, Inspiration4, has just taken off for a three day mission to orbit the Earth. The historic mission, operated by billionaire鈥疎lon Musk's firm鈥疭paceX, is being funded by one of the passengers. We hear from Nick Spall, space writer and Royal Astronomical Society Fellow. The singer, Ed Sheeran, has won a lot of awards but he's revealed he really dislikes the big award shows themselves, because he says "The room is full with resentment'; we hear from the 大象传媒's Harry Bligh. Plus, the 大象传媒's Deborah Weitzmann reports on the growing trend of property buyers bidding on homes without seeing them in person first, enabled by improvements in virtual home buying technology.

Rahul Tandon is joined throughout the programme by Ralph Silva of the Silva Research Network in Toronto, Canada and Mehmal Sarfraz, co-founder The Current PK in Lahore, Pakistan.
