Belgians Block Key EU Pact With Canada

Available for over a year

Belgium's Wallonia region has blocked the CETA Canada-EU trade deal. Professor Pierre D'Argent from the University of Louvain explains why the people of Wallonia are so opposed to the deal. Also in the programme, a new venture capital fund is starting in London for businesses that are started by women. We hear more from Debbie Wosskow of the AllBright fund. The biggest companies in the world have helped carbon emissions rise to a new record, according to the UN. Dr Deon Terblanche of the UN's World Meteorological Organisation explains his research, plus we have analysis from Tom Burke, who is a former environmental policy advisor to the mining giant Rio Tinto. And Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times tells us why she thinks the concept of creativity at work is massively overrated. (Picture: A CETA protest sign in Belgium. Picture credit: AFP.)
