President Trump's China visit ends with $250bn worth of deals agreed. Ben Dooley is Beijing correspondent for the French news agency AFP, and offers his assessment of the trip. Plus we have a report examining the concerns of some American businesses about operating in China. Also in the programme, the environmental campaigner Jonathon Porritt explains what is at stake in the latest round of UN climate talks in Bonn, Germany. We hear why illegal fishing is threatening livelihoods in the Gambia. And Marie Carter, editor of Pets Magazine, tells us why pet ownership is declining in the UK.
