India Economic Growth Picks Up To 6.3%

Economic growth for the past 12 months in India has accelerated to 6.3%. We explain what's behind the uptick in the country's economy. Also in the programme, as a crunch time approaches for the Brexit negotiations, we consider the state of play with Roger Bootle, chairman of Capital Economics and Jonathan Portes, professor of economics at King's College London. Plus we have a special report from Fukushima, Japan, which examines the human and environmental impact of the earthquake and tsunami that caused a radiation leak at the city's nuclear power plant, in March 2011.
