Italy Populist Leaders Close to Government Deal

Available for over a year

Leaders of Italy's Five Star Movement and League have until Sunday to agree a partnership. Professor Moavero Milanesi of the Luiss School of Law considers the economic implications of a possible pact between the populist parties. Also in the programme, the BBC's Adrian Bradley takes us behind the scenes of this weekend's Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon, Portugal. And we hear the economic impact of a win from Martin Lee of Brotherhood of Man, which won the contest in 1976. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Nina Trentmann, news editor of the Wall Street Journal's CFO Journal in London, and Henry Curr, economics editor at The Economist in Washington, DC.
