Hurricane Milton is expected to make landfall on Wednesday night near Tampa Bay and evacuation orders are in place for millions of people in Florida. So how is climate change making hurricanes worse and how will the US pay for the damage? Also in the programme: more than one million people have been forced to flee their houses in Lebanon because of the war and there are concerns about tens of thousands of mostly-female, live-in domestic workers being abandoned by their employers; and a new report into the global second-hand clothes market says it can play a role in driving sustainable growth both in Europe and in Africa.
