UK Reveals Annual Budget as Slowdown Forecast

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The UK Chancellor Philip Hammond has revealed details of its government spending plans, including tax relief for first-time home buyers and a cash injection for the country's health service. We get reaction on the annual budget. Plus, we hear how the battle for control of the internet - so-called 'net neutrality'- is intensifying in the US. And if we all start driving electric cars, where will all that electricity come from? Jon Bithrey is joined throughout the programme by Jyoti Malhotra of the Indian Express in Delhi and Peter Morici, professor of international business at the University of Maryland, in Washington DC.
