Jailed Britons Win India Appeal

The six former British soldiers were jailed on weapons charges in 2013.

The six former British soldiers were jailed on weapons charges in 2013. We get reaction to their release from Joanne Tomlinson, sister of acquitted John Armstrong, and Yvonne MacHugh, the partner of Billy Irving, who has also been cleared. Also in the programme, as a crunch moment approaches for the Brexit negotiations, we get an update on the state of play from 大象传媒 Brussels reporter Adam Fleming. The herbicide Glyphosate has had its licence for sale in Europe extended by five years. German Green MEP Sven Giegold explains why he's disappointed with the news, whilst Pekka Pesonen, secretary general of Copa Cogeca, which represents farmers across the EU, tells us why his members are happy with the ruling. Plus we take a tour of an organic farm in the English Cotswolds.
