Ireland's Prime Minister Leo Varadkar to meet Boris Johnson

On Monday Ireland's Taoiseach, or Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, will meet his British counterpart Boris Johnson in Dublin. They're likely to discuss the thorny problem of ensuring free movement of people and goods across the island of Ireland after Brexit. We hear from Mark Kennedy, a managing partner with Mazars, an international accountancy and business advisory group in Dublin. Pilots at British Airways have started a two day strike, which has forced the carrier to cancel most of the roughly 850 flights it operates every day. Emma Coulthurst, from the online holiday price comparison site Travel Supermarket tells us what the impact has been. OPEC's oil ministers will meet on Thursday in Abu Dhabi, to discuss the state of the energy market and their ongoing strategy of cooperating with Russia to keep a lid on production, in an effort to limit global supplies. We hear from David Fyfe, chief economist of Argus, a commodity information group. Istanbul opened its new airport in April, an aviation hub that expects to take advantage of the expansion of Turkish Airlines. But the airport faces many challenges - we talk to Kadri Samsunlu, the chief executive of Istanbul Airport.
