I've spent the last three decades trying to better understand money across the boardroom, the newsroom and the trading floor. That's longer than most podcast hosts have been alive. But even I've got questions.
Join me, Meryn Somerset-Webb, every week for my show Meryn Talks Money from Bloomberg Podcasts, where I have in-depth conversations with fund managers, strategists and experts about how markets really work. And join me for a separate episode where I answer listener questions on how to make those markets work for you.

This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service. I'm Janet Jalil and it's 16 Hours GMT on Monday the 23rd of February. These are our main stories. The International Criminal Court is determining whether the former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte should stand trial for crimes against humanity.
The UN appeals for more humanitarian assistance to help 200,000 civilians fleeing violence in South Sudan. Australia's Prime Minister says he supports removing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from the Royal Line of Succession.
Also in this podcast... The best thing for our business is if people love movies and television. And the best way you love movies is to watch them at home, in the theatres, wherever you want to watch them.
We talk to the boss of Netflix about the future of entertainment. People in positions of power cannot escape the rule of law. Those were the words of the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court as a long-awaited hearing began to determine whether the former Philippine president, Rodrigo Duterte, should face a full trial.
The 80-year-old is accused of crimes against humanity over an anti-drugs crackdown which he oversaw while he was in office, in which thousands of people were killed. Duterte has spent nearly a year in a Dutch detention centre after being arrested in Manila and flown to The Hague.

Chapter 2: What charges are being brought against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte?
Bol Rambang is a community organiser who also runs a local radio station. He sent the BBC this voice note on Sunday.
At the moment, the humanitarian situation is extremely critical. There is no humanitarian presence in Yokohama, no food distribution, no mobile clinics, no nutrition services, and no clean water supply. In the last 72 hours alone, 20 days have been confirmed, including seven children. The main causes are anger, exhaustion, untreated illness, impacted wounds, and lack of self-drinking water.
Without immediate humanitarian intervention, mortality is expected to increase.
The UN's humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher has been visiting South Sudan from where he's been speaking to Rob Young. I was up in Jongle State and Upper Nile State as well, and I met many of those displaced by conflict, people who fled their homes in the last few days and who are coming to us for nothing. Actually, you've got six million people hungry across South Sudan.
You've got seven and ten people needing help right now. And they're telling horrific stories. You know, I met a 70-year-old grandmother who's having her limbs amputated because of bullet wounds. I... held a child, an 18-month-year-old child with bullet wounds in his legs as well.
So you've got high hunger levels, you've got cholera, you've got immense amounts of misery and hardship and also immense amounts of sexual violence. And one trend recently is a real upsurge in violence against women and girls. When you saw those victims, did you get a sense that they were caught up in the violence or that perhaps they were being deliberately targeted? So it's very hard to tell.
Many of them are injured as they're fleeing their homes. Many of them are hit in airstrikes, and so they have burn wounds. But the wounds, and of course these are civilians that are meeting, the wounds of them look quite... You know, if someone is shot in both in both their calves, you know, it's quite hard to do that by accident.
So certainly in the in the hospitals, we're seeing evidence, I think, of lots of deliberate targeting of civilians. And so, you know, we've got to be out there. What we find is that nearer the UN bases, people feel a bit safer, but ultimately they won't feel safe while this conflict is raging.
I met a lot of grandmothers who were carrying their grandchildren because their own kids had all been killed or abducted. So you've got tragedy after tragedy after tragedy. You've got people surviving just eating the leaves from the trees and saying that they haven't eaten properly for days. It's truly grim. People are eating leaves from the trees. There is so little food. That's right.
