EU to Launch New Border Force Plan

Controversial proposals have been unveiled for a new European border force.

Controversial proposals have been unveiled for a new European border force. We ask Apostolis Fortiades, a journalist with Greece's Kathimerini newspaper, for his thoughts. Also in the programme, US central bank the Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates tomorrow, for the first time in almost a decade. Our economic commentator Roger Bootle offers his assessment. The World Trade Organisation is meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, and the 大象传媒's Catherine Byaruhanga is there for us. Plus we have a report from New York on the lengths companies go to these days to capture customers' attention. And as Tim Peake, Britain's first taxpayer-funded astronaut blasts off to the International Space Station, we talk to Nick Spall, fellow of the British Interplanetary Society, about how a drive for innovation is fuelling the modern space mission.
