The Canadian government has unveiled a £350 million package of tax breaks for the news industry. One of the initiatives will see consumers being able to claim back a portion of the cost of a news subscription. Critics say that state subsidy threatens the core principle of journalistic independence.

Also in the show, political debates on TV, including the proposed Brexit showdown between Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn.
