Tata and ThyssenKrupp Agree Steel Merger

The tie-up will lead to job losses, to be shared between the two companies.

The tie-up will lead to job losses, to be shared between the two companies. We get analysis from steel industry expert Jonathan Aylen of Manchester Business School. Also in the programme, we hear why Kenya's Supreme Court decided to cancel the result of last month's presidential election. We continue our series examining the health of the German economy ahead of Sunday's election, with a report from Munich. The OECD's chief economist, Catherine Mann, tells us that as more women enter the global workforce, it may be depressing pay levels. Plus, the authorities in Portugal's capital Lisbon have invested €12,000 in a luxury pigeon hotel. Joana Antunes helps to maintain the facility, and tells us why it was worth the expense.
