The US is escalating a trade row with Beijing over US tariffs on Chinese goods. Qian Liu is head of the Economist publishing group in China, and explains how China views the situation. Plus, a paper published by Canadian think tank the CD Howe Institute suggests that Mr Trump is using that uncertainty as a weapon, we hear from the co-author of the paper Dan Ciuriak. Also in the programme, we get a sense of how businesses in the UK are adapting to the prospect of Britain's exit from the European Union. Black businesswoman Sherry Collins is founder and editor of Pitch magazine, and explains why she has taken out an advert to stand up against racism, after she and others were mistaken as sex workers at a global advertising conference. Plus, Amazon's digital assistant Alexa will be installed in some US Marriott-owned hotels, following a partnership between the two firms. We hear the thoughts of technology expert Tom Cheesewright.
