Washington's choice for the new head of the World Bank has been announced: David Malpass. He's a man who isn't very keen on the World Bank - we ask if he will he get the job. And βa special place in hellβ awaits Brexit voters, says Donald Tusk, president of the European Council. We ask why he said something so controversial at such a sensitive time in diplomatic negotiations. Plus, having a hobby that makes you money is often called a βside hustleβ β and those in Sweden are getting government funding to turn theirs in to a business, as the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔβs Maddy Savage reports from Stockholm.

We discuss all this with live guests Peter Morici, professor of international business at the University of Maryland, and Sushma Ramachandran, former chief business correspondent at The Hindu.
