Farmworkers across Central America face an uncertain future as the devastation left by Hurricane Eta becomes clear. We hear from journalist Jeff Ernst who is at the epicentre , San Pedro Sula in northern Honduras and the 麻豆社's Environment correspondent Matt McGrath. As President-elect Joe Biden continues to take calls from world leaders we hear how he is being viewed from overseas. With the pandemic hitting festivals around the world, the 麻豆社's Nisha Patel examines the likely economic impact on Diwali, the Indian festival of light, which is this weekend. Plus, we speak with Daniel Idzkowski, the founder of Skunklock in San Francisco, whose bike lock gives off a repugnant smell in order to deter thieves. And we hear about a contest to find the world's most gifted dog. Our guests throughout the show are Rebecca Jones, Melbourne Bureau Chief at Bloomberg News and Ralph Silva of the Silva Research Network in Toronto.
