	Description:		People have taken to the streets in Hungary to protest changes to overtime laws. Valerie Hopkins of the Financial Times is in Budapest, and explains the background to the dispute. Also in the programme, in Spain, the Christmas lottery, el Gordo, will be held this Saturday. It's one of the biggest jackpots in the world, but our reporter explains that festivities could be marred in some parts of Catalonia as demonstrations are expected against a cabinet meeting being held there. In the centenary year of legislation being passed allowing women to vote in the UK, a third of MPs are now women.

Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories with Michael Regan of Bloomberg, and Eshe Nelson of Quartz.
