Is the force with Disney's streaming service?

The entertainment giant launches into the crowded world of online video services.

The entertainment giant launches its Disney+ streaming service in the US, Canada and the Netherlands. How much of a game-changer is it and what does it mean for rivals like Netflix? The US is trying to mediate in a row over Ethiopia's Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile. The project has led to a dispute with Egypt over the availability of water for the country. In the first of our UK election interviews series, we hear from Richard Tice, chairman of the Brexit Party, which was set up to push for an end to close ties with the EU. Fender CEO Andy Mooney tells us about launching a new version of the legendary Stratocaster guitar. So what's the best way to refresh an iconic brand?

Jamie Robertson is joined throughout the show by Mehmal Sarfraz, co-founder of the website The Current PK and Melissa Chan, a freelance journalist, in New York.
