Britain's Prime Minister announces a date for the beginning of the Brexit negotiations

Prime Minister Theresa May says Brexit negotiations to begin by end of March 2017; can TTIP be saved?; China's insatiable demand for donkeys; the French origins of denim.

Britain's Prime Minister, Theresa May, has said that the country will trigger the process of leaving the European Union by the end of March next year. We ask Ruth Lea of Global Vision whether the UK will make a success of it.

The 15th round of talks over TTIP -- the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership -- get under way in New York today. Can it be saved? We get a US and European view.

China's insatiable demand for donkeys has caused a trade spat between it and several African nations. Dr Emmanuel Igbinoba from the Centre for Chinese Studies in Stellenbosch tells us more.

A small company has started making jeans in the birthplace of denim with bold plans to revive the textile industry in the South of France. Joshua Thorpe has the story.
