About this episode
Brexit Bedlam…sterling dips following U.K. MPs’ Saturday delay to a vote on the deal struck by Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brussels last week. The EU has received a forced extension request from No.10 but Johnson remains steadfast and is preparing to table another vote to get the divorce agreement through Parliament and ensure the U.K. leaves the bloc by October 31st. Lebanon is paralysed by a fourth day of massive anti-government protests as Prime Minister Saad Hariri rushes to push through a raft of economic reforms in a bid to quell the unrest. We are live in Beirut for the latest. Meanwhile, at the IMF annual meetings in Washington, we hear exclusively from UBS chairman Axel Weber who warns that central banks are increasingly losing their way, with negative rates causing despair among European investors.
