Fiat Chrysler of the US and Italy has proposed a merger with French carmaker Renault.

Fiat Chrysler of the US and Italy has proposed a merger with French carmaker Renault. It would create the world's third biggest auto company, and motoring journalist Vicky Parrott tells us what the proposed tie up indicates about the global motor industry. Also in the programme, as established centrist parties lose ground in European parliamentary elections, we ask if business is any clearer about Brexit as a result. Guntram Wolff is a European economist and director of the Brussels-based think tank Bruegel. Our reporter has been examining the hand car wash industry in the UK, which has been described as "modern slavery in plain sight". Plus our regular workplace commentator Pilita Clark looks at the challenges new fathers can face in trying to get time off in the weeks and months following the birth of a child.
