No progress on Brexit talks

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As Brexit talks end with "no decisive progress" according to the EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier, we ask Italy's Europe minister why the EU won't budge on talking about trade. The French Prime Minister has announced new proposals to reform France's labour market; we speak to the far left France Insoumise party about plans for more strikes. And what can victims of storm Katrina teach victims of storm Harvey? A Pulitzer prize winning journalist from New Orleans pens a letter to the people of Houston.
