Tusk: May's Chequers Plan Won't Work

Available for over a year

The European Council president has expressed scepticism about Theresa May's Brexit plan. We get analysis of the Salzburg EU summit from Roger Bootle of Capital Economics, and Professor Iain Begg of the London School of Economics. Also in the programme, as the trade war between China and the US intensifies, Beijing has indicated it may cut tariffs on products imported from its other trading partners. Matt Gold is an Adjunct Professor of International Trade Law at Fordham University. He gives us his take on who is winning the trade war so far. Cary Leahey of Decision Economics in New York gives us the view from Wall Street. Then, Nigeria's plans to relaunch its national airline have been suspended. The BBC's Africa business correspondent in Lagos, Damilola Ade-Odiachi, tells us whether the idea is ever likely to take off. Plus we pay a visit to London's own city vineyard. (Picture: Donald Tusk.
