Spain PM sets snap election for April

Spain's minority Socialist-led government lost the support of Catalan MPs over the budget.

Spain's minority Socialist-led government lost the support of Catalan MPs over the budget. Our reporter in Madrid assesses whether deepening political divisions ahead of a new general election could affect the country's recovering economy. Also in the programme, Uganda's government has deported the chief executive of telecoms firm MTN Uganda. It's the latest in a series of deportations of executives from the firm. Nebert Rugadya is business editor of Radio One Kampala, and explains the background. Ahead of London Fashion Week, Tara La Rue of the Linden Satub agency tells us why some of the models will walk away from the catwalks in debt. We travel to RAF Cranwell in Britain to find out about a new test facility to help fighter pilots cope with the negative effects of G-Force acceleration. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Jessica Dye of the Financial Times, and Simon Long of The Economist.
