BMW, Daimler and the VW group face an EU collusion probe around emissions control systems. Ricardo Cardoso is spokesman for competition policy at the European Commission, and tells us why suspicions arose around possible collusion. Also in the programme, we ask whether Italy's governing Five Star Movement's pledge to bring in a universal basic income of just under $1000 per month will ever see the light of day. Giovanni Legorano is a correspondent for the Wall Street Journal in Rome, and explains a growing row. We have a report from Sri Lanka over how a government plan for a special economic zone in the south of the island has triggered anger among the local community who fear they may face eviction from their homes. Oli Pearce of the Charity Oxfam tells us about his organisation's research that indicates the world's largest pharmaceutical companies may be dodging an estimated $3.8bn in tax, by shifting profits into tax havens. Plus we have a report from London Fashion Week on efforts to improve the diversity of women represented on the catwalk.
