  • cheaper Russian oil and cheaper Brazilian soybeans.

  • Also, a report on the plight of the US coffee industry,

  • how pump and dump shares have cost investors millions,

  • and how horse racing in the UK is going on strike over the way it could be taxed.

  • And I'll be joined throughout the programme by two guests on opposite sides of the world.

  • Jessica Kine, business consultant, who's joining us from Kuala Lumpur.

  • Jessica, a very good morning to you.

  • A very good morning, Roger.

  • And great to have you with us wherever you're from.

  • Thank you.
