	Description:		Brazil's new president Jair Bolsonaro has called for a society "without discrimination". Julia Leite runs Bloomberg's bureau in Sao Paulo, and outlines Mr Bolsonaro's plans for his country's economy, including a move decisively in favour of agri-business. Also in the programme, we have a report from Spain where the country's olive industry is in crisis, after import tariffs were imposed by the US government. The airline Cathay Pacific has promised to honour heavily discounted tickets for first class travel that were sold in error. Simon Calder is travel editor for The Independent, and tells us how the firm made such a big mistake. For the first time in two decades, lots of copyrighted works have lost their protection and become public property in the US. Entertainment journalist Caroline Frost explains why it's taken such a long time for copyright protection to lapse for works produced in 1923. Plus we meet Gavin Munro, who trains trees to grow into the shape of different pieces of furniture.
