Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Shares in New York have fallen by the most since March. Investors are still on edge over President Donald Trump’s threat to raise tariffs on billions of dollars worth of imports from China. Brian Dorst of Themis trading in New Jersey tells us more. Dr Irwin Stelzer from the Hudson Institute gives us his take on the role economic data is playing in the build up to next year's Presidential election. Plus, Victor Gao, the vice-president of the Centre for China and Globalisation and a former interpreter for Deng Xiao Ping has told the BBC's Stephen Sackur that there are 200 million security cameras in China. An important, multinational forum which tries to unite the common interest of the Arctic territories is disunited and has failed to finish with the traditional joint declaration. The BBC's Sasha Twining has been following events. And households in Sweden have been given some unusual advice by an official government agency - to stockpile small banknotes and coins to use if banking and payment networks go down because of cyber warfare or terrorism. We hear from Jonas Milton, a senior analyst with the country's Civil Contingencies Agency which issued the warning.
