World Business Report

Britain and the European Union have failed to reach an agreement in their latest round of negotiations on Brexit. We examine what went wrong and ask whether an agreement can be reached soon. Plus, the social network Facebook is trying to recruit some new members, by launching a messaging app for children as young as 6 years old. Katie Roof, senior writer at TechCrunch, tells us that the app is designed with controls that allow parents to decide who their children can connect to online. Plus, we hear the latest on the US stock markets fro Peter Jankovskis from Oakbrook Investments in the US. (Picture: Theresa May and Jean-Claude Juncker. Picture credit: Reuters.)
