Austrian Election Deja Vu

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Austria's highest court has ordered a re-run of the country's presidential election, giving a right-wing eurosceptic candidate a second chance after he narrowly lost in May. UK Chancellor George Osborne has abandoned his target to restore government finances to a surplus by 2020, saying the economy is showing "clear signs" of shock after the Brexit vote. We also discuss the rules the UK and EU will have to follow to negotiate a future trade deal. An expert tell us the rules are "ambiguous". After a tumultuous political and financial week, two opinion formers step back and put the events into context for us. (Image: Austrian Alps. Credit: Getty Images)
