	Description:		As the US and Israel's war on Iran enters its second week, concerns are rising about surging oil prices.

Also in the programme: We'll profile Iran's new Supreme Leader, the son of the former cleric; we'll hear how the war is affecting daily life in the Gulf state of Qatar; and how the master artists of ancient Egypt may have invented correction fluid.
