A Christmas advert from exercise bike company Peloton has been widely mocked on social media as being "sexist", "out of touch", and even "dystopian". Matthew De Silva of Quartz explains how this translated to a hit to the company's share price. Also in the show, an onion crop failure led to soaring prices in India where it can cause political turmoil. Vivek Singh of London's Cinnamon Club restaurant explains how significant the onion is to South Asian cuisine. Kolkata-based journalist Sandip Roy tells us that a fivefold price increase means the onion has become a valuable target for thieves. We hear from Danish Shah of produce exporting firm Sanghar Exports how the onion crisis has affected his business. And economics professor Dr Saswati Chodhhari of St Xavier's College in Kolkata discusses how onions have affected Indian politics over the years. And an economic crisis in Venezuela pushes millions of citizens to seek a more prosperous life abroad, our reporter heads to Peru to find out why it has become home to the second largest community of Venezuelan immigrants in the world. Plus we'll have a regular look on the US markets from Chris Low at FHN financial in New York.
