	Description:		After a defeat over its Brexit deal, the UK government now faces a vote of no confidence. We hear how British businesses are handling the uncertainty with Brian Palmer, boss of Tharsus, a robotics company based in the northeast of England. And we discuss the likely next steps for the UK with Roger Bootle, chairman of Capital Economics, and Jonathan Portes, professor of economics and public policy at King's College London. Also in the programme, amid widespread protests in Zimbabwe over fuel price rises, the government has restricted access to the internet. Our reporter in Harare explains the background to the move. We travel to Singapore to find out why business people there sign up to private members' clubs. Plus the musician Rihanna has taken her father to court over commercial use of her surname Fenty, under which she sells make up, skincare and clothing lines. Claudia Rosenbaum of Buzzfeed News in Los Angeles tells us more about the dispute.
