	Description:		The Democrats can't agree on the size of a separate social spending plan, which is holding up the vote. We get the latest from Nancy Marshall-Genzer, senior reporter at Marketplace, our sister programme on American public radio. Actor Scarlett Johansson has reached an agreement with Disney after she filed a lawsuit against the company in July over the way it released her film Black Widow - simultaneously in cinemas and on its own streaming platform. We get analysis from entertainment journalist Caroline Frost. And as chess's governing body Fide announces a sponsorship deal for the women's game with breast enlargement company Motiva, we ask Shelia Stanford, a Norwegian who used to play for her national team, what she thinks of the tie-up. Sasha Twining is joined throughout the programme by Colin Peacock of Radio New Zealand. (Picture: The US Capitol building. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
