Migration Tops EU Summit Agenda

World Business Report

Available for over a year

European Union leaders meeting in Brussels hope to find a new deal on immigration. Luigi Zingales at the University of Chicago Booth has been watching developments. EU leaders will also be discussing Brexit. Our regular economic commentator, Roger Bootle of Capital Economics, considers how much progress there might be on the topic. Also in the programme, Amazon's decision to buy little-known US online pharmacy company Pillpack has wiped billions of dollars off established chains such as Walgreens and CVS. Sharon Terlep at the Wall Street Journal explains how this minnow will disrupt the market. Also, the BBC's Victoria Craig has been hearing why the British meat industry is concerned about a recent carbon dioxide shortage. Plus we have a report from Zambia on efforts to tackle illegal trade in wildlife in the country. (Picture: An array of EU and member states flags. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
