I'm Rory Stewart and I grew up wanting to be a hero and I'm still fascinated by the ideas of heroism.

In my new series, I'm taking in the long sweep of history from Achilles to Zelensky and asking, what is a hero?

Simply doing your job, being a decent human being.

A true hero is someone who just kind of shines by

their own light and that light is to be recognized by others. The long history of heroism with me,

Wake up to money from BBC 5 Live.

Hello morning, welcome to Wake Up to Money, a busy weekend,

which started with the news of the latest court blow

to part of President Trump's tariff agenda.

We'll be chatting about that throughout the program this morning.

Some of those countries that will be watching closely

are the likes of China and India, and they've subsequently been rubbing shoulders in Beijing.

We'll be live in Singapore with the latest on those talks in just a moment. Then, closer to home,

we've been speaking about the price hike to Eli Lilly's weight loss drug Moncharo. That comes

into place today. We're going to be talking to a pharmacy that's trying to navigate the hike.

And finally, we'll be taking a look at competitive socializing. This is office workers swapping a casual afterwork pint for games and competitions.

Wake Up to Money with Will Bain. Yeah, morning. Welcome to Wake Up to Money. It is the first of September. Monday morning, the 1st of September. Yeah, we've whizzed through the summer, haven't we here? But plenty to get to. It hasn't really been quiet on the news front, has it? And that remained the case through the weekend. And we'll talk tariffs again, but another twist in that story. We'll talk about some of the big Asian economies chatting over the weekend, as we mentioned there. We'll hear some interesting stories from some of Asia's biggest companies. One, doing extraordinarily well. A massive boom for Alibaba in terms of its share price. We'll work out what's going on there and what's going wrong for once. Yes, no, you heard me right. We've talked a lot about the boom for BYD, but it shares down 8%. This Monday morning we're going to hear why that

is a little bit later on in the program too. And then yes, the pharmacies trying to navigate

from today, the price hike from Monjaro, this wonder weight loss drug that's come in from

Eli Lilly, its supplier

is going to put the price up. Pharmacies say they're going to try and protect consumers from that will hear how they're going to do that. In the second half of the program, so loads to chat about if you want to join the conversation, you perhaps have got a question for our panel this morning, then you can get in touch in all the usual ways.
