BBC World Service - World Business Report, President Trump announces deal to lift shutdown

Deal to end longest US government shutdown in history does not include border wall funds.

President Donald Trump has yielded to political pressure to end the longest US government shutdown in history. Scott Wong, senior writer at the Hill provides analysis. Also in the programme, countries including the US recognise Venezuela's opposition leader as interim president. As a political crisis continues to unfold, Carlos Camacho of the Herald Tribune in Caracas tells us how life is continuing in the country. And we look at what would happen if the US boycotts Venezuela's biggest export, oil, with Paola Rodriguez-Masiu, energy analyst at Rystad Energy in Norway. Fuller's, which makes London Pride, has sold its beer business to Japan's Asahi for $300m. Our reporter tells us what's behind the move. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Jim Edwards from Business Insider UK, and Barri Rafferty, chief executive of the global consultancy Ketchum.
