UK Prime Minister suffers double defeat on Brexit deal
Theresa May begins a five day debate to sell her Brexit deal.
British Prime Minister Theresa May has suffered two major defeats - just before opening five days of debate on the Government's deal for the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. With widespread expectation that the deal will not pass a vote in the House of Commons, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Rob Watson explains what's next. Also in the programme, we get an update on the thousands of migrants who have arrived at the US-Mexico border after travelling thousands of miles from Central America. Then, we're used to the stars of the world of business being glamorous innovators - but are we missing something? Jamie Waller explains why we should pay more attention to the entrepreneurs running "unsexy businesses". And, should you pay more for larger shoes? Our regular workplace commentator Pilita Clarke thinks so.
Presenter Roger Hearing is joined throughout the programme by Maya K. van Rossum, executive director of the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, in Philadelphia, and Simon Littlewood, President of AC Growth Delivered, in London.
