Italy criminalises paid surrogacy abroad

Italian senators have approved legislation that extends a ban on surrogacy to couples who seek it abroad.

Ed Butler discusses why Italy has decided to criminalise couples who pay for a surrogate birth.

Elsewhere in the U.S, we find out from retailers what they want to hear from the new incumbent in the White House.

And finally, have you ever found yourself unwittingly paying for a subscription that you thought was free? We hear from a US regulator who's cracking down on what he says is sharp practice.

We are joined throughout the programme by Yoko Ishikura, Professor Emeritus at Hitotsubashi University in Japan and Allie Garfinkle, Senior Finance Reporter at Fortune based in L.A.
