Triggering Brexit: Govt launches Article 50 appeal at Supreme Court
The Article 50 appeal at the Supreme Court began today. The case will decide whether government can formally begin the process of leaving the EU without getting approval from Parliament. The government was defeated when the case was first heard in the High Court last month. Attorney General Jeremy Wright argued this morning that Theresa May can trigger Article 50 using so-called prerogative powers. He says MPs were aware of how the outcome of the EU referendum would be handled when the European Referendum Act was debated in 2015. Share Radio's Ed Bowsher is joined by 5RB barrister Greg Callus to discuss these developments and the future of Britain within the EU.

Bond comeback: What do rising rates mean for income investment?
Over the last six weeks, there's been an interesting trend in the bond market. Bond yields are rising, and bond prices are falling. To put that another way, interest rates are rising. And if you can get a bigger income from bonds, maybe investing in income shares is becoming less attractive. So to find out more about the prospects for income investing in Europe, Share Radio's Ed Bowsher spoke to Will James, Manager of the Standard Life European Equity Income Fund.
