Italy criminalises paid surrogacy abroad

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Ed Butler discusses why Italy has decided to criminalise couples who pay for a surrogate birth. Elsewhere in the U.S, we find out from retailers what they want to hear from the new incumbent in the White House. And finally, have you ever found yourself unwittingly paying for a subscription that you thought was free. We are joined throughout the programme by Yoko Ishikura, Professor Emeritus at Hitotsubashi University in Japan and Allie Garfinkle, Senior Finance Reporter at Fortune based in L.A.
