Global stock markets are in turmoil as investors brace for another round of tit-for-tat tariffs between the world's two largest economies. US President Donald Trump has accused Beijing of breaking a draft deal. Chinese officials are now in Washington for last-ditch negotiations to avert an all-out trade war. But as Mobin Nasir reports, a quick truce between the two sides seems unlikely. We discussed the story with TRT World Editor-at-Large Craig Copetas in Paris. #TradeWar #Tariffs #Trump

It's been a year since the US pulled out of a nuclear non-proliferation agreement with Iran. Now Tehran says it's also ditching some aspects of the landmark deal. Crippled by US sanctions, Iran says it may resume production of more highly-enriched uranium, unless the world's other major powers can restore trade and investment to the economy. Mobin Nasir reports. And we discussed the story with TRT World's Editor-at-Large, Craig Copetas, in Paris. #Iran #Oil #USsanctions

Thousands of Uber drivers in the US and UK have gone on strike to demand better pay and conditions. It's the worst-possible time for the company, which is trying to convince investors to buy-in ahead of its IPO this week. Uber's already warned that it may never become profitable, and unhappy drivers only add to the questions about its business model. Paolo Montecillo reports. For more on the story, we brought in Yaseen Aslam, secretary of the group United Private Hire Drivers, which is helping organise the strikes in the UK. #Uber #IPO #Investors

More than 26 million South Africans headed to the polls on Wednesday. Voters have been frustrated over a lack of progress and unemployment that's been rising under the party's rule. And 25 years after the end of apartheid and white-only rule, the country is still struggling with inequality.

Unemployment rose from 21% a decade ago to around 27% last year. Unemployment among young people is even higher at around 50%. For more on the story, we spoke to Thabi Leoka, an independent economist in Johannesburg. #ANC #LandReform #ElectionResults

'Sustainable Debt for Sustainable Growth'. That's the theme of a high-level conference in Paris that's brought together dozens of finance ministers and central bank governors, as well as the head of the International Monetary Fund. The world's debt is hovering at record levels - in both developed and emerging market economies. Last year, it hit more than $240 trillion or about triple the size of the global economy. We discussed the story with TRT World's Editor at Large Craig Copetas in Paris. #Debt #IMF #SustainableGrowth

The Trump administration says it's threatening to escalate its trade war with China because Beijing has backed-out of some of the promises it's made to end their dispute. US President Donald Trump says he'll more than double tariffs on Chinese goods on Friday, a move that's sent global markets on a wild ride. But they got some relief after Beijing said it's still be sending its top negotiator to trade talks in Washington this week. Paolo Montecillo reports. For more on the story, we spoke to Rajneesh Narula in the UK. He's a professor of International Business Regulation at the University of Reading's Henley Business School. #Trump #TradeWar #China

Global sales of fur are falling, thanks in part to a slowdown in the luxury fashion market in China. In parts of the US and Europe, animal rights campaigners are lobbying for the material to be banned. But in Russia, which was once the world's biggest fur exporter, sales are on the rise. Moscow correspondent Lucy Taylor reports. #Fox #Russia #Fashion

People in Japan have returned to work after a rare, long public holiday, which saw the start of a new era as Emperor Naruhito ascended the throne. The government had hoped the 10-day break would stimulate the economy, in a country where people are used to working long hours. But the jury's still out on whether the plan has worked, as Mayu Yoshida reports from Tokyo. #Work #GoldenWeek #Holiday
