May Makes Fresh Push for Deal Votes

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

UK prime minister Theresa May has made a new push to persuade MPs to back her Brexit deal. We look at the potential impact on business if the deal falls. Street protests continue across Sudan as inflation tops 130 per cent, with a drastic impact on the price of food and medicine. The US government shutdown is taking it toll in a number of different areas. Today we look at the impact on farming with Roger Johnson, President of the National Farmers Union. We also have a report from India exploring why demand for gold in the country is waning. Plus our regular workplace commentator, Pilita Clark of the Financial Times, considers whether there could be benefits to providing a workplace beer fridge. (Picture: Theresa May.
