UK Sets Out Post-Brexit Farm Funding

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The British countryside could be set for its biggest shake-up in decades. We get reaction from Minette Batters, deputy president of the National Farmers' Union, and environmental campaigner George Monbiot. Also in the programme, on day three of the working year, Britain's top executives have earned more than the average employee's annual salary. We hear the arguments for and against high salaries from Stefan Stern of the High Pay Centre, and Lady Barbara Judge, chair of the Institute of Directors. Our regular economic commentator Roger Bootle of Capital Economics offers us his predictions for the European economy this year. Plus we take a trip to Utah in the United States to find out why its economy is so successful. (Picture: A combine harvester. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
