Share Sounds. from The Share Radio Evening Show

Regular listeners to the show will know that our Apprentices are four members of the Share Radio team who've each been given fifteen thousand pounds of virtual money to build their own share portfolios. They have a minimum of eight stocks, which they've been buying and selling through The Share Centre. Share Radio's Simon Rose was joined by Apprentices Matt Cox and Valsa De Winter. Standing by with advice and useful observations is Share Radio's Senior Analyst Ed Bowsher.

Premier league clubs posted a net January profit, despite spending reaching a six year high of 215 million pounds. Kieran Maguire, specialist in sports finance at Liverpool University looked over the figures. Of course Alex Clark will have Extra Time.

Many of us can't wait for retirement - today's In My Experience guest, however, did not feel that way. Only after reaching the grand old age of 80 has he decided to take it a little easier. While the City has changed beyond all recognition, he's been one of the few solid unchanging landmarks. He is Brian Winterflood of Winterflood Securities, and he joined Share Radio's Simon Rose in the studio.

To help put the day's events in context I'm joined by Ed Bowsher, Share Radio's senior analyst. They discussed the Bank of England's prediction that the UK economy will grow by 2% in 2017, Reckitt Benckiser's plan to buy Mead Johnson Nutrition in a $16.7bn deal, worth £13.2bn that would boost its Asian business, and Sports Direct being identified as the ultimate owner of an 11% stake in French Connection.

The Ayes had it - last night MPs backed the Government's Article 50 bill. A few more Parliamentary hurdles remain - not least the House of Lords - but with 498 votes in favour and only 114 dissenting, Theresa May is well on the way to triggering Brexit. But if May hoped the vote would pacify resistance in the Commons, the bashing of her Brexit Tsar this afternoon proved otherwise. David Davis, Minister for Exiting the European Union, unveiled the Government's White Paper on Brexit, putting meat on the bones of the Prime Minister's negotiating strategy. However, opposition MPs complained they weren't given enough time to study the document, with the paper published minutes before Davis stepped up to the dispatch box. For more on the Brexit bill and White Paper, Share Radio's Simon Rose was joined by Tom Brake MP, spokesperson for the Liberal Democrats on Foreign Affairs. Simon also spoke to political commentator Sunny Hundal on why Merkel - and not Trump - is the free world's only hope.

And there'll be an insider's guide to Milan with Melissa Lupo a VIP guide for Tours By Locals.

The Federal Reserve, the US equivelant of the Bank of England has left interest rates unchanged in its first meeting since President Trump took office. However for watchers of US monetary policy, the real interest of the meeting lay in the committee's statement.
