Britain and the United States are discussing a possible post-Brexit trade deal. Professor Chris Elliot is a food safety and microbiology expert at Queen's University in Belfast, and tells us why one potential stumbling block is likely to be over whether US chlorine-washed chicken should be allowed into the UK. Also in the programme, Italy is in the midst of its worst drought for decades. Arianna Giuliodori of the Italian farmers union Coldiretti explains just how much farmers and their crops are suffering. The 麻豆约拍's Will Bain reports from Kenya, where an upcoming election is thought to be one of the most expensive in the world. Japanese workers are being urged to work from home, to ease congestion on Tokyo's clogged roads and packed trains. Chie Matsumoto is a freelance journalist in the city who tells us why working from home is rare in Japan. Plus our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times on why we may have reached 'peak modernity'.
