Market Wrap: BHS pension deal, Southern strikes take toll, Trump to ratchet up defense spending
Share Radio's Simon Rose brings you Market Wrap, a roundup of what's been happening in the businesses of Britain and the world. To help rattle through the day's events, Simon was joined by Chris Bailey, Share Radio's Senior Analyst. They discussed: Sir Philip Green says he's "voluntarily" agreed to pay up to 363-million pounds towards the pension scheme of collapsed retailer BHS; shares in the operator behind Southern Railway have plunged - after it revealed a profit hit caused by almost a year of strikes; and Donald Trump wants to raise the amount America spends on defence by a record £43 billion.

Share Politics: Ukip in civil war
Nigel Farage says Ukip would be better off with no MPs - than having one who contradicts the leadership. Mr Farage wants their only member of parliament - Douglas Carswell - to be kicked out of the party. However, he does deny that it is because the Clacton MP helped block him from the chance of getting a knighthood. For all this and the rest of the day's political headlines, Simon speaks to Rishi Patel of FTI Consulting.

Is the US tech sector a great opportunity for investors?
Sterling, financial debt and U.S technology firms might not be what spring to mind as an investment opportunity for 2017. Sterling is struggling against the dollar, interest rates look set to rise and President Trump's travel ban has tech firms in the US up in arms as they fear that they won't have access to the worlds top talents. However, these are just some of the areas that Coutts's investment team believe are ripe for investors. To discuss Coutts' 2017 Investment Outlook, timeless Principles in a Changing World, I'm joined by Alastair Jex, head of bespoke and advisory portfolios at Coutts Investment.
