Angela Merkel to Step Down in 2021

Germany's Angela Merkel has said she will step down as chancellor in 2021. Sophie Pornschlegel, a policy analyst at the Berlin think-tank Das Progressive Zentrum explains the significance. Also in the programme, Brazil has elected Jair Bolsonaro as its next president. The BBC's Julia Carneiro gives us the latest from Rio, and we consider Bolsonaro's potential impact on the environment, with Tica Minami, Greenpeace Brazil's Amazon campaign coordinator. Our regular workplace commentator Alison Green explains how best to negotiate a pay rise. Plus we have reaction to UK finance minister Philip Hammond's latest budget for the country.
