Russian cruise missiles in first combat action

Russia's Syria message to the US: "Anything you can do we can do better".

A spectacular show of firepower signals Russian intent in the Middle East. But Turkey's President Erdogan, weeks away from a crucial general election, feels betrayed by his former friend, Vladimir Putin. Also in this podcast: US rethinks its Afghan pull-out; the global taxmen close in on the multinationals; how we're finding out if we're to blame for the weather; and - are there no sacred cows? Daring to eat beef in Hindu-majority India.
