Italian Parties Edge Closer to Deal

Global business news, with live guests and contributions from Asia and the USA.

Italy's anti-establishment Five Star Movement and right-wing League party say they have made significant steps to forming a government, more than two months after a general election. Professor Moavero Milanaise from the Louis school of law in Rome considers how the deal would end political deadlock and the threat of another vote. We find out more about Anwar Ibrahim, the man set to be released from prison as a result of the re-election of Mahathir Mohamed in Malaysia and as Eurovision fever sets in, ahead of the competition, we hear from previous British winner Katrina, of the Katrina and the Waves. Business Matters is joined by Daniel Sampson from the University of Melbourne for comment throughout the programme.
