Germany pledges support for avoiding Irish hard border

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Germany pledges support for avoiding Irish hard border

Angela Merkel visits Dublin for the first time in five years.

The German Chancellor has visited Dublin for the first time in five years.

Angela Merkel has visited Dublin for the first time in five years in a show of solidarity with her Irish counterpart, Leo Varadkar on Brexit. Kevin Doyle, political editor of the Irish Independent, takes us behind the scenes. Also in the programme, Australia has passed a law to curb the dissemination of violent content online in the wake of the tragedy in Christchurch, New Zealand. Tech executives could now get jail terms and their employees huge fines for their employers. But not everyone's happy about the new law though, including billionaire Scott Farquhar. And, we hear how rules used by pension funds can help improve risk management in some very unlikely places.
