President Trump ramps up sanctions against North Korea's nuclear weapons programme. Business Matters asks Katherine Moon, professor of political science at Wellsley College, whether it will make any difference.

However, one chef in France felt so pressured by the accolade, he wants to give the stars back. Food writer for the Daily Telegraph and former chef Xanthe Clay discusses what she thinks of the chef's decision. Business Matters is joined from Singapore by Tony Nash from Complete Intelligence and Gernot Wagner, economist at the environmental defense fund joining us from Cambridge Massuchusetts .
