Women face dearer car insurance, and discover the car you can control with your voice.

News and views from the business world. Women face dearer car insurance because of a court ruling, and Ford show off the car you can control with your voice.

News and views from the business world with Mickey Clark and Jeremy Naylor.

Women face higher car insurance premiums if the European Court of Justice rules that it is illegal to price financial products on the basis of gender. We speak to Nick Starling, director of general insurance at the Association of British Insurers.

Ford is showing off its latest gizmo later today. It allows drivers to control key functions in their car - just by using their voice. We talk to Alan Mulally, President and Chief Executive of Ford.

The European Commission is likely to unveil proposals later, banning the system in the fishing industry known as "discarding" - throwing away up to half of what they catch to stay within EU quotas. What will it mean for fisherman if a discard ban is imposed? We talk to Bertie Armstrong, Chief Executive of the Scottish Fishermen's Federation.
