China imposes tariffs on Australian wine

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Starting on Saturday, China will impose trade tariffs of up to 212% on Australian wine. We get industry reaction from Tony Battaglene, chief executive of Australian Grape and Wine. Also in the programme, the BBC's Manuela Saragosa reports on how prepping, or survivalism, has gone mainstream. We find out why police in northern India used tear gas and wooden sticks in an attempt to prevent thousands of farmers from marching into Delhi. Plus, a new law is going through France's Parliament, making it an offence to discriminate against regional accents. The BBC's Joshua Thorpe explains the background.
