	Description:		US President Donald Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort has been sentenced to 47 months in prison for tax and bank fraud. He was convicted last summer of hiding millions of dollars of income from his political consulting in Ukraine. Also in the show, Chinese tech giant Huawei has filed a lawsuit against the US government over restrictions on its products. Morocco is ranked as one of the most popular tourist destinations in Africa but it's also one of the worst for gender inequality. Our reporter Catharina Moh has been looking into the women-only tours allowing women to break through gender barriers and out of poverty. Plus we hear how an anti-sugar politician swept to power in the sugar producing US state of Florida. All through the show we'll be joined by Mike Bird of the Wall Street Journal in Hong Kong and Erin Delmore, Senior Political Correspondent for Bustle in New York.
