Brexit - deal or no deal?

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Brexit - deal or no deal?

Will the UK get a trade deal with the EU?

UK prime minister Boris Johnson has said the country must "get ready" for no EU trade deal by the end of the year - the BBC's Rob Watson explains why an agreement is proving so hard to reach. We look at the US election where astonishing sums are being spent; Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, talks us through the figures. A new study suggests the Great Barrier Reef has lost half its corals since 1995...the culprit is warmer seas according to researcher Renee Setter, from the University of Hawaii. Advertising using social media influencers is becoming a more and more common way for businesses to raise their profile but that relationship between business and the cool person they're paying to showcase their product isn’t always a happy one, as Sheetal Parmar has been finding out. Plus, we hear how the first flights from New Zealand in a special travel bubble have touched down in Sydney. And we're joined throughout the programme by Peter Ryan, ABC's senior business correspondent. (Photo of Boris Johnson by Wiktor Szymanowicz for Getty Images).
