	Description:		The global stock market response to US President Donald Trumps latest China trade salvo wasn't pretty. Shares sank all over the world. The latest new tariffs -- imposed in a tweet -- mean that effectively all Chinese imports to the US will be taxed from 1st September. This after few signs of a breakthrough in the latest bilateral talks. This weekend players are competing in London for the Fifa eWorld Cup video game competition, with $250,000 up for grabs. We also hear from the former member of the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve Board, Daniel Tarullo. We have an insight into a billion-dollar industry which many have probably never heard of - the global market in wigs and extensions made from human hair. And as Playboy magazine is trying to make itself more appealing in the #MeToo era, we are asking is it ever possible for an old-fashioned brand to re-invent itself for the modern time. Presenter Nigel Cassidy is joined by guests Rhonda Sharpe in Richmond, Virginia and Sinead Mangan in Perth, Australia. PHOTO: Donald Trump/AFP
