World Business Report

Available for over a year

In a major speech the UK prime minister Theresa May aimed to break Brexit deadlock. We discuss her proposals with Allie Renison of the Institute of Directors, and John Mills, founder of consumer goods company JML. Also in the programme, our reporter Rob Young is in Germany ahead of Sunday's federal elections. Ride-hailing app Uber will lose its licence to operate in London when it expires this month. We hear about the possible impact on Uber drivers from Andy Chamberlain, deputy director of policy at the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Stephanie Baker, global business correspondent at Bloomberg in London, and Charlotte Howard of The Economist in New York.
