Broke City

Londonderry is consistently at the bottom of the table on measurements like unemployment, incomes and investment. Why has the economic performance of Northern Ireland's second city been so bad?

And could Brexit provide a catalyst for radical new thinking? 91热爆 News NI's business editor, John Campbell, investigates.

Reporter: John Campbell
