Protests Spread Over Trump Travel Ban

World Business Report

Available for over a year

There are widespread protests across the United States over Donald Trump's decision to ban people from seven mainly Muslim countries from entering the country. We hear from protestors and Leslie Vinjamuri, an Expert in Transatlantic Relations at the Chatham House. Also in the programme, the French socialists have chosen a man who wants to give everyone in the country free money as their candidate in the upcoming Presidential election. We speak to Sylvain Courage, Editor of the French political magazine, L'Obs. Plus, figures from three major economies due out this week could suggest inflation is on the way back. Independent economist, Michael Hughes tells us what's going on. And Selin Girit is in Istanbul reporting on Turkey's troubled economy.
