Cuba Set To Recognise Private Property Under New Constitution

World Business Report

Available for over a year

State media says Cuba will recognise private property for the first time in decades. Our correspondent in Havana, Will Grant, gives us the latest. Theresa May has urged the EU to evolve its position on the Northern Ireland border. We hear about the potential sticking points from Irish economist Jim Power. Plus we have a markets update from Chris Low of FTN Financial in New York. We look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Dani Burger of Bloomberg, and Charlie Wells of The Economist. And we have a report from Dubai on the United Arab Emirates' ambition to become a global design powerhouse. (Photo: Cuba's National Assembly. Credit: AFP)
