Andy Burnham to push for new post-Brexit deals at EU summit

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The PM says "deeper cooperation" on some key issues - including youth mobility, food and drink, and energy - would help drive economic growth in the UK. But Oliver Lewis, who worked for Boris Johnson as deputy chief negotiator for the UK Government in the UK-EU trade negotiations, tell us the move would be "a real step backwards". Also in the programme: We speak to this year’s Nobel Peace Prize winner Navi Pillay. And we hear from a group of 21 shanty singers testing out the acoustics of a soon-to-reopen tin mine in Cornwall.
