Director of Corporate Finance Stephen Barnett returns to the show to answer questions on the following three themes:

Big money coming out of oil-rich Gulf countries is helping the Middle East buck the global M&A trend. So what's the strategy, how important is 'soft' power and where might there be opportunities for aspiring young bankers?

We've covered Kim so it's over to Kylie! Reports this week that Kylie Jenner has explored buying back Coty's $600mn stake in her makeup brand. What were the mechanics of the deal and why does so want her company back?
