US jury rules weedkiller a cancer 'factor'

A US jury found Bayer's weedkiller glyphosate to be a 'factor' in a gardener's cancer. Molly Scott Cato is a member of the European parliament for the Green Party, and gives us her reaction to the news. And we discuss the wisdom of Bayer's 2016 purchase of Monsanto, the maker of glyphosate, with Berlin-based business journalist Allison Williams. Also in the programme, Italy and China sign a Memorandum of Understanding to expand China's ambitious One Belt One Road initiative all the way to Western Europe. Dr Yu Jie of Chatham House explains what's in it for both parties. Our reporter in New York looks at a controversial proposal to introduce a congestion charge for drivers in the city. Plus we consider the prospects for jeans maker Levi Strauss, which lists shares in New York this Thursday, with Matthew Townsend, global business reporter for Bloomberg News. And we'll have a regular view on the US markets with Susan Schmidt of Aviva Investors.
