Finland is celebrating the centenary of its independence from Russia. We assess the country's economic significance with Finland's prime minister, Juha Sipilä. Also in the programme, environment ministers from around the world have agreed that the flow of waste plastic into the ocean must be stopped. We report from a meeting of UN environment ministers in Kenya. The European Commission has outlined plans for greater integration for countries using the euro. Our regular economic commentator Roger Bootle of Capital Economics assesses the proposals. We have an update on the latest developments around ongoing Brexit talks between the UK and European Union. Plus the American jewellery designer Kendra Scott tells us how she started a billion dollar business from a spare bedroom.
