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.
