Expectations Rise in US-China Trade Talks

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

American markets have responded positively to the latest negotiations over tariffs, which were extended into a third day. As Amazon boss Jeff Bezos and his wife MacKenzie announce plans to divorce, we ask Bloomberg's Brad Stone what kind of settlement could Mrs Bezos expect from the world's richest man? Also in the programme, police say the wife of one of Norway's richest men has been kidnapped. We hear from Mark Harris of security firm Blindside, who advises many big companies on how to prevent kidnapping and deal with ransom demands. Conspiracy theories as ways to explain the world and strange events have been around for a long time. Were the moon landings faked? Joe Uscinski, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Miami, has long made a study of many weird and wonderful theories. And could eco-friendly pet food help save our planet? We hear from entrepreneur Tom Neish whose company makes dog food from insects. Roger Hearing is joined on the programme by Peter Morici, Professor at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, in Maryland and Yuan Yang, Beijing Correspondent with the Financial Times. (Picture: US and Chinese flags over Tiananmen Square. Credit: Getty Images)
