	Description:		Weaker consumer spending weighed on US economic growth during the fourth quarter of 2018. Our New York business correspondent analyses the latest figures. Also in the programme, with just a month to go before the scheduled date for Brexit, we assess the current state of play with Leave supporter Alastair MacMillan, owner of hydraulic pump manufacturer White House Products, and Remain supporter Victoria Brocklesby, who is chief operating officer at door and window manufacturer Origin. The Dutch government has taken a surprise 13% stake in the airline Air France-KLM. Simon Calder is travel editor of the Independent newspaper, and explains the background to the move. We have a report looking at whether the massive gender pay gap in professional football between men and women's salaries is set to narrow. Plus we hear why smartphones with physical keyboards have been making a comeback at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress this week.
