On today's Sky News Daily, we're sharing the latest episode of Electoral Dysfunction. 

Donald Trump has pressed pause on his higher tariffs... but not before he unleashed absolute chaos on the global economy.

It all came down to the bond market - which you might remember from Liz Truss's time as prime minister... 

Alongside most countries, the UK still has the base level of 10% tariffs on exports and 25% on automobiles, so is the prime minister's "keep cool" strategy still paying off?

Or is the UK just in the same boat, waiting along with everybody else for Trump's next move? 

One thing's for sure - Harriet thinks the UK government is speaking in code. She says Starmer needs to speak up and reassure the British public a bit more.

It's been five weeks since the Birmingham bin strikes began over a long-running dispute between workers and the council. The city's residents have complained that mounting rubbish is a risk to public health, with rotting food attracting foxes, cockroaches and rats.  

Tom Cheshire speaks to Sky's Midlands correspondent, Shamaan Freeman-Powell, who's been in the city finding out how residents are dealing with the mounting rubbish, the smell and the rats - and whether an end to the strikes is in sight.

Donald Trump has raised trade tariffs on China again - up to 125% and that's effective immediately.

At the same time, he's ordered a 90-day pause on higher tariffs for dozens of countries.

If it wasn't a trade war between the world's two biggest economies before - it is now. 

On this episode, Mark Austin examines if China will keep on retaliating against Donald Trump. Its tariffs on US imports had been increased to 84%.

He's joined by vice president of the Beijing thinktank, the Centre for China and Globalisation, Victor Gao. He explains why he's sure that China will not blink first in this 'dangerous' standoff.

Plus, our business correspondent Gurpreet Narwan on why the president has singled out China.

*This episode was recorded just before President Trump increased US tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%.

Unannounced Prince Harry arrived at the court of appeal in London on Tuesday, as part of a last-ditch attempt to overturn the Home Office decision to remove his UK state funded security, something he calls an “injustice”.  
 
It overshadows the King and Queen’s state visit to Italy which comes at a time of geopolitical and diplomatic delicacy as Trump’s tariffs upend world order as we know it.  

On the Sky News Daily, Mark Austin speaks to royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills in Rome about why security has been a sticking point in Prince Harry’s and the King’s relationship. They discuss if this clash of events tells us anymore about the pair’s dynamic.

Today has seen chaos on global stock markets, with price plunges reminiscent of the famous Black Monday crash of 1987. Back then, the causes were unclear, whereas today there's no doubt - Trump's "liberation day" tariffs have spooked the markets.  
  
In 1987, people feared Black Monday was a sign of a global recession. They were wrong. Are we right to have the same fears today?  
  
Tom Cheshire is joined by Sky's Darren McCaffrey and stockbroker Russ Mould to discuss what might come next.

The leader of France's far-right National Rally party Marine Le Pen has had her dreams of becoming the president of France thwarted.
 
It comes after a court found her guilty of embezzling European Union funds. She's now been banned from running for political office for five years. 
 
She has the support of Elon Musk, and Donald Trump who publicly backed her after the conviction, and this weekend there's a massive rally planned in Paris in support of her.  So who is Marine Le Pen? 
 
Niall Paterson talks to Sophie Pedder, Paris bureau chief of The Economist who has written a book about Emmanuel Macron and has been reporting on Marine Le Pen for years.

President Donald Trump has imposed immediate tariffs of 10% on all British exports to the United States.  He did this as he announced a "declaration of economic independence" for the US.  
  
On his self-declared "Liberation Day", Mr Trump described the tariffs as reciprocal and said he was going to be "kind" by charging half of each country’s total "anti-US" measures. 
Niall Paterson talks to Sky's business correspondent Paul Kelso about what these tariffs might mean for British business, which sectors are exempt, and whether a further deal can be worked out with Mr Trump.

China's economy is already struggling. Growth has slowed dramatically in recent years and there is high youth employment. Since the beginning of March, there's also been a tax of 20% on any goods sold to the US.   
 
Ahead of President Donald Trump’s "liberation day", what effect are tariffs already having on the Chinese economy?    
 
Niall Paterson speaks to Sky's Asia correspondent Helen-Ann Smith who has been to Guangdong province to find out how manufacturing is being impacted.  They also discuss how the tariffs will play into President Xi’s narrative of a resurgent global China.

Last week, Prince Harry quit as patron of a charity he co-founded in memory of his mother, Princess Diana.    

Over the weekend, the charity's chair, Dr Sophie Chandauka told Sky News' Trevor Philips the prince had been "the number one risk" to the charity and accuses the Duke of unleashing "the Sussex machine" on her and Sentebale's staff.   

A source close to the former trustees of the charity has described the claims as "completely baseless".

On today's Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to Sky's royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills about the very public fallout.
