Jemma Slingo is up first to discuss the fate of NatWest (NWG). Jemma and Dan unpack how well hedged the business is against falling interest rates, its share buyback plans and more.

It’s then on to one company from our Income Majors special report: **British American Tobacco (BATS). **Like most tobacco stocks, BAT is in the firing line from the Labour government and other leaders around the world. Michael Fahy and Dan explore what potential smoking bans would mean for investors. 

We finish with two deals from the financial world. **Close Brothers (CBG) **has sold off its asset management arm while Brooks Macdonald (BRK) is also making disposals. Julian Hofmann covers everything investors need to know.
