Efforts continue to move a container ship that is blocking the Suez Canal. We find out why it is proving such a challenge from Guy Platten, secretary general of the International Chamber of Shipping. Also in the programme, retailer H&M faces a backlash in China after expressing concern about Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang. Emily Feng is Beijing correspondent for the US public broadcaster NPR, and tells us how H&M got caught up in a diplomatic row between China and the west over allegations of forced labour. Plus, with US president Joe Biden pledging to decriminalise cannabis at a federal level in the country, catching up with a growing number of individual states, we find out about the companies lining up to take advantage. Amanda Jones is chief executive of California-based firm Kikoko, which sells products infused with some of the active ingredients found in cannabis, and explains pandemic-induced anxiety has been good for business. Consultant psychiatrist Dr Marta di Forti at King's College London discusses concerns about the potential effect of cannabis on mental health. And we meet Boris Jordan, executive chairman of the biggest-selling cannabis company in the US, Curaleaf, who has been described by Forbes magazine as "the only pot billionaire".
