The trade deal between the European Union and Canada appears to be back on.

The tiny French speaking region of Wallonia in Belgium has lifted its veto on the trade deal between the EU and Canada.

Wallonia in Belgium has lifted its blockade on the CETA trade deal between the EU and Canada. CETA had been seven years in the making and that had been approved by twenty-seven of the twenty-eight members of the EU. We talk to Trade Campaigner at Global Justice Now, Guy Taylor, and Luisa Santos, Director of International Relations at Business Europe about what caused the Belgian region to change its mind. Meanwhile, somethings going wrong at social media network Twitter as potential suitors walk away and the share price dives.
