No majority for any Brexit options

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

None of MPs' eight proposed Brexit options have secured clear backing in a series of votes aimed at finding a consensus over how to leave the EU. The BBC's Rob Young brings us the latest on another day of Brexit drama. It’s been two months since a mining dam disaster in Brazil killed 308 people, the country's worst industrial disaster. 50 similar dams are now being shut down, but the process is complicated. Some towns remain at risk of being completely washed away by mud. And other local economies in the region are in peril. The BBC’s Daniel Gallas reports from Minas Gerais. So-called essay mills provide work that students can pass as their own, for a fee. So it this cheating, or just another way to earn a living? We speak to one man currently being paid to write students's essays. All this and more discussed with our 2 guests throughout the show: freelance political journalist Erin Delmore and Sushma Ramachandran, former chief business correspondent for the Hindu.
