Trump Says China to Cut Tariffs on US Cars
We assess the scale of a ceasefire announced between the US and China in their trade war
We assess the scale of a ceasefire announced between the US and China in their trade war. Kristen Hopewell is a senior lecturer in international political economy at the University of Edinburgh, and considers the likely impact of a scaling back of hostilities. Also in the programme, United Nations-sponsored climate talks are getting under way in Katowice, Poland, from where our environment correspondent Matt McGrath brings us the details. To reduce traffic congestion, a ban on minibus taxis has been introduced in the central business district of Kenya's capital, Nairobi. We hear why operators and passengers think the new policy is unfair. We take a trip over the bridge between Denmark's Copenhagen and Sweden's Malmo, to hear how it has fostered economic co-operation, as the crossing turns 18. Plus our regular workplace commentator, Pilita Clarke, asks whether it is fair to charge people with bigger feet more for their shoes.
