Britain's Labour Party Outlines Vision for Britain

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The leader of the UK's main opposition party has laid out his vision for the country. We discuss the Labour party's economic policy with Peter Dowd, who is a member of Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet. Also in the programme, Europe's top court has made a ruling clarifying when member states should have the power to sign off on trade deals, instead of leaving it to EU institutions. We find out more from Alan Beattie of the Financial Times in Brussels. As France's president Macron finalises his cabinet, the BBC's Joshua Thorpe reports on why the president is likely to face many hurdles in his quest for labour reform. Plus robots from across the world have gone on show at the Innorobo convention in Paris, as the BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones reports. (Picture: Jeremy Corbyn presents his manifesto. Picture credit: PA.)
