    Presenters:John Bruce and Mike Rowse

    On this programme, we looked at the escalating Iran conflict that made leading maritime insurers cancel war risk cover for vessels operating in the Gulf region.

    After the break, a former race-car driver told us what to expect of the new Formula One season that is set to return this weekend.

    And finally, we brought you the latest updates on the annual “Two Sessions”, that are taking place in the capital. Premier Li Qiang unveiled major development targets for the 15th Five-year Plan, and set the 2026 GDP growth target at 4.5 percent to 5 percent.
