Canada Files WTO Complaint Against the US

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Canada has filed an expansive complaint with the World Trade Organization accusing the US of breaking international trade rules. We hear more the FT's World Trade Editor Shawn Donnan. Also, protesters are on the streets of the capital Tunis again today to voice their opposition to new government austerity measures. There have been riots in at least a dozen towns and cities across the country over the past few days. Police have fired tear gas and rubber bullets. On Tuesday, a crowd stormed a branch of the French supermarket chain Carrefour in the capital. The BBC's Rana Jawad tells us more from Tunis. Also, heavy snow in parts of northern Spain has sparked a row between the government and a private road operator. And the extraordinary biodiversity of the world's coral reefs is under threat.
