BBC World Service - World Business Report, Trump Urged To Reopen Government

Senator Lindsey Graham has said that temporarily reopening parts of the US government, which has been closed for 3 weeks) would allow talks to resume between Republicans and Democrats.

Indian elections are a few months away so we look at the current state of the economy and with Italy close to recession we hear that the populist government in Rome is learning some harsh economic lessons.
