Italy's economy came to a standstill in the latest quarter, registering no growth at all. Nicola Borri is an economist from Luiss Business School, and tells us what impact the figures could have on the Italian coalition's planned budget. And we have a report from Barcelona, looking ahead to the latest economic update from Spain, due tomorrow. Also in the programme, there's been a protest in Sri Lanka following the ousting of prime minister Ranil Wickramasinge. Dinesh De Alwis is a Columbo-based Sri Lankan journalist, and tells us what an unfolding political crisis could mean for the country's economy. In the UK, prime minister Theresa May's government relies on support from Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, because it does not have a majority in the House of Commons. With the Irish border a key issue in the Brexit negotiations, we find out more about the DUP's stance from Sammy Wilson, who is the party's finance spokesman. Plus we look at the health of the burger industry in the UK.
