	Description:		The US refused to sign any declaration mentioning climate change at the Arctic Council. We ask what next for the group of nations bordering the Arctic Circle. Peter Winsor is director of the WWF Arctic Programme, and we also hear from Arild Moe, a research professor at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute. Also in the programme, with the US economy growing strongly, we consider the likely impact on next year's presidential election, with our regular US economic commentator Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute. Plus as Microsoft launches the first version of its popular Xbox games console to not have a physical disk drive, Jo Twist, chief executive of the Association for UK Interactive Entertainment, tells us what's behind the move.
