Turkey's Black Friday

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

An economy in meltdown, and a war of words, after President Trump doubles tariffs on Turkish metal imports. Also in the programme: the NASA probe about to set off on a historic mission to the Sun, and the American author John Grisham on his hometown of Charlottesville, one year after it saw street battles between the far right and those who opposed them.
