World Business Report

Available for over a year

The European Parliament has voted to reject a controversial copyright law. The founder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales, tells us why he welcomes the news, whilst Geoff Taylor, chief executive of music body the BPI explains why his organisation was in favour of the new law. Also in the programme, the British government has set out a new plan for handling customs after Brexit. We get reaction to the proposals from Andrew Varga of manufacturing firm Seetru, and Stuart Garner of Norton motorcycles. We have a report from Alabama on President Trump's efforts to roll back environmental legislation. Plus our reporter in Mumbai tells us about Netflix's ambitions to grow in India.
