Tallying The Bill For Brexit

As the EU lays out a negotiating mandate for Brexit, we hear how expensive it might be.

As the EU lays out a negotiating mandate for Brexit, we hear how expensive it might be. One report suggests Britain could face a bill of €100bn, and Zsolt Darvas, senior fellow at the Brussels think tank Bruegel tells us how likely that is. Plus the US economist Irwin Stelzer considers the likely success of Britain's exit negotiations. Also in the programme, ahead of Sunday's presidential election in France, the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ's Theo Leggett has been finding out about the impact of high unemployment on the campaign. The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ's Rob Young reports on why piracy off the coast of Africa is on the rise. And our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times admits that she does not always learn from experience.
