	Description:		UK prime minister Theresa May has made a new push to persuade MPs to back her Brexit deal. We look at the potential impact on business if the deal falls, with John Longworth of the campaign group Leave Means Leave, who is a former head of the British Chambers of Commerce, and Jasmine Whitbread, chief executive of the business group London First. Also in the programme, there have been protests in Zimbabwe after the government more then doubled the price of gasoline. Our reporter in Harare Shingai Nyoka tells us why people are so upset. A UN-backed paper has warned about the impact on marine life of pumping into the sea a chemical-laden brine which is a by-product from desalination plants that make salty seawater drinkable. Manzoor Qadir is one of the paper's authors, and explains its findings. We have a report from India exploring why demand for gold in the country is waning. Plus our regular workplace commentator, Pilita Clark of the Financial Times, considers whether there could be benefits to providing a workplace beer fridge.
