French energy giant EDF votes to build UK reactor, but British government delays deal

French energy giant EDF votes to build a new UK nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point, but the British government says it will review the deal and release a decision in the autumn. Cozma Panzacchi of Bernstein Research analyses the implications for EDF, and the BBC's Dave Harvey reports from Hinkley Point.

And Fergus Nicoll continues his tour of political convention season in the US. We hear from younger voters at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. Plus, make way for whiskey. Ivan Menezes, boss of the global drinks giant Diageo, tells us how Mad Men's Don Draper has encouraged young people away from drinking beer - and towards sipping expensive cocktails.

And before you reach for that second latte, Alex Ritson explains why recycling that coffee cup might not be doing the environment any favours.
