Italy Growth Exceeds Expectations

Economic Growth in Italy is at its fastest pace since 2010.

Economic Growth in Italy is at its fastest pace since 2010. Manlio di Stefano is a member of parliament from Italy's Five Star Movement, and tells us what's behind the improved economic prospects. Also in the programme, we hear how businesses keen to invest in Myanmar hope to help solve the humanitarian crisis there. We have a report from Hoosick, New York, on concerns in the city about President Trump's pick for the US head of chemical safety. Also, the environmental group Greenpeace is taking the Norwegian government to court for issuing oil exploration licences in the Arctic. We find out more from Truls Gulowsen, who heads up Greenpeace in Norway. Plus, we hear why the fishing industry in Grimsby is lobbying hard for special free trade status after Brexit, despite 70% of voters in the town opting to leave the EU.
