The UK and EU say they've agreed in principle a blueprint for their future relationship after Brexit. Ian Wishart, European government reporter for Bloomberg in Brussels tells us what is in the deal.We have a report on the challenges for non-white people to find products which match their skin tone, and meet businesses launching items from bandages to ballet shoes in more diverse shades. With Thanksgiving firing the starting gun on the holiday shopping season, we find out how retailers are scrambling to adapt to big shifts in how people shop. Plus, Indonesian officials are planning to charge $500 to see Komodo dragons, as opposed to $10. Is this the best way to lessen tourist impact?
