As climate change melts Arctic ice, can exploitation of the region be done sustainably? It's one of the talking points at the Arctic Council meeting which is taking place in Reykjavik, as we hear from the BBC's environment correspondent, Matt McGrath. Plus, Zhang Yiming is stepping down as chief executive of TikTok's parent company ByteDance. Mr Zhang says he prefers more solitary activities like reading and daydreaming to running the popular video sharing app, and the BBC's Kerry Allen tells us what's behind the move. A new poll suggests more than 80% of Japanese people want this year’s Tokyo Olympics to be cancelled or postponed. The poll comes amid a sharp resurgence in Covid infections across Japan. From Tokyo, our correspondent Rupert Wingfield Hayes reports. Plus, from Ronald Reagan to Donald Trump, American presidents have found that a sprinkling of Hollywood stardust can help them reach the highest office. And now it seems that a whole host of current stars are considering a move from the movies into politics, as the BBC’s Reagan Morris reports from Los Angeles. And throughout the programme, we're joined by Lien Hoang, a reporter at Nikkei Asia who's based in Ho Chi Minh City, and Andy Uhler a reporter for our colleagues on the Marketplace programme on American Public Media, joins us from Austin, Texas.
