	Description:		Refundable deposits on plastic bottles, common in Scandinavia, are to be brought to the UK. Andrew Opis is director of food and sustainability at the British Retail Consortium, and tells us how the idea is likely to go down with British shoppers. Also in the programme, the head of the World Trade Organisation, Roberto Azevedo, has warned of the risk of a global trade war. Our regular economic commentator, Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute, tells us how likely it is to develop. Several weeks on from an election in Italy, we find out how close the country is to forming a new coalition government, from Italian journalist Giada Zampano. We hear why a proposal to introduce cheap public transport buses in Kenya is causing concern for drivers of matatus, the popular private minibuses that help people to get around. Plus the BBC's Regan Morris reports from California on the development of meat that has been grown in a laboratory.
