US Trade tariffs trigger global stock market decline

US stock markets suffer their largest loss since 2020 from Trump’s new tariff policies.

Trump's trade war disrupts global economies, with 10% tariffs now affecting the UK and other nations. The global stock market has lost trillions in value, while China retaliates with a 34% tax on US imports. Alicia Garcia Herrero, Chief Asia Pacific Economist at Natixis, discusses the impact on Asia.

Also in the programme: A Turkish photojournalist told the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ he and six other journalists were arrested to prevent media coverage of anti-government rallies. Senior Correspondent Orla Guerin reports from Istanbul. We also hear from Kelsey McKinney, the author of a book on the importance of gossip.

Joining presenter Julian Worricker are Anna Matveeva, a senior visiting research fellow at the Russia Institute of King's College London and Andrea Sella, professor of chemistry at University College London.
