UK prime minister Theresa May defended her decision to accept a six month Brexit delay. We get reaction from businesses across the UK to the news, as well as Alan Soady of the UK's Federation of Small Businesses, and Anna Rosenberg, head of UK and Europe at Signum Global Advisors. And we consider what's likely to happen next with Roger Bootle of Capital Economics, and Jonathan Portes, professor of economics at King's College, London. Also in the programme, as an announcement is expected with details of Disney's new streaming service, Disney Plus, our reporter considers the growing competition for such services around the world. Plus we hear about retailer Walmart's plans to embrace robots in its stores, from technology author Kate O'Neill.
