US inflation is on the rise again

US inflation figures are higher than forecast in September. With the price of diesel and food increasing, lower income Americans have been hit the hardest. We hear from a saw manufacturer in Iowa and a computer repair shop in New York on how they’re coping with the higher prices. In China, many leave home for big cities in search of work and livelihoods. Our China correspondent reports Beijing on the alienation many experience in the city after leaving loved ones behind. And as today marks the hundredth anniversary of the launch of the first Winnie the Pooh book, we take a look at how it became such a money-spinner.
