UK and India agree landmark trade deal

The government claims the agreement will boost British business.

The UK and India have finalised a major trade agreement, reducing tariffs on UK exports including gin, whisky and cars. The government says the agreement will eventually add 拢4.8bn per year to the UK economy, but the Conservatives say a National Insurance exemption for temporary workers from India is 鈥榯wo tier鈥� taxation.

Also on the programme: India carries out air strikes on what it called 鈥榯errorist targets鈥� in Pakistan and Pakistani administered Kashmir; and we hear from Syria where families are trying to find the remains of their loved ones killed by the Assad regime.
