After a federal court ruled US President Donald Trump’s latest tariff levies illegal, his administration have scored a last-minute reprieve. For now, the White House's tariff plan stays in place, but with the legal battle being far from over, we tell you all about the fast changing rules of Trump's trade policy. Elsewhere, we hear why low emission zones in French cities could be banned, and Devina Gupta speaks to Zawadi Mudibo in the Ivory Coast as Africa heralds its new 'super banker'. The latest business and finance news from around the world, on the BBC.
