The UK government has given ground to the EU on the size of its Brexit divorce bill. Zsolt Darvas of the Brussels think tank Bruegel tells us what the final sum will be spent on. Also in the programme: Apple is scrambling to fix a security flaw in the latest version of its operating system. Technology journalist Adrian Mars explains how serious a blow this is to the technology giant's reputation. We hear from Spain's capital Madrid about a one day strike by taxi drivers against newer rivals like Uber. With US consumer confidence running at a 17-year high, our regular economic commentator Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute tells us why he thinks people are feeling so confident. Plus we have a report from the Ivory Coast where world leaders are converging to try and find ways to create more jobs for young people. (Photo: Euro banknotes. Picture credit: Getty Images)
