May 'optimistic'about Brexit talks

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Theresa May tells the Commons she's optimistic about the Brexit deal. We hear from a former head of the World Trade Organisation who warns against leaving without a deal and relying on WTO rules. We discuss what should be done with British citizens fighting for the so-called Islamic State. And we have a special report from China and ask who's benefiting from economic prosperity.
