Italy's next government is likely to be a coalition of two of its most Eurosceptic parties. Lorenzo Fioramonti is a Five-Star Movement MP and in the running to be Italy's new minister for economic development, and explains the proposed coalition's economic policies. Also in the programme, has green energy reached the point in the UK where it no longer needs government subsidies? We discuss with UK Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas, and Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity, which is one of Britain's largest renewable energy generators. Ahead of the wedding on Saturday of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, our reporter has been meeting some of the businesses looking to cash in on the big day. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Charlie Wells of The Economist, and Lisa Abramowicz of Bloomberg.
