UK and India agree landmark trade deal
The government claims the agreement will boost British business.
The UK and India have finalised a major trade agreement, reducing tariffs on UK exports including gin, whisky and cars. The government says the agreement will eventually add £4.8bn per year to the UK economy, but the Conservatives say a National Insurance exemption for temporary workers from India is ‘two tier’ taxation.
Also on the programme: India carries out air strikes on what it called ‘terrorist targets’ in Pakistan and Pakistani administered Kashmir; and we hear from Syria where families are trying to find the remains of their loved ones killed by the Assad regime.
