The African Union demands an apology from the US President over alleged use of an obscene term while the United Nations condemns his remarks. Niall Stanage, associate editor at the Hill, analyses the implications for the White House. Chancellor Merkel's party reached agreement on sticking points with the Social Democrats. We get reaction to the proposals from Kai Whittaker, a politician with Mrs Merkel's Christian Democrats. Also in the programme, Sarah Dander from the London Boat Show tells us what has been driving growth in the industry, and we talk to Susie Goodall, the only female sailor taking part in this year's Golden Globe round the world yacht race. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Stephanie Baker from Bloomberg in London, and Henry Curr of the Economist in Washington, DC.
