White House defends tariffs on China

Description:

The White House has confirmed that a 104% tariff on goods imported from China will come into force on Wednesday. China has accused the United States of "blackmail" and Washington says that the tax levies announced were bringing many countries to the negotiating table. We hear from a former US ambassador to China, Gary Locke.

Also in the programme: at least forty-four people have died after a roof collapsed at a music venue in the Dominican Republic; and a full-sized digital scan of the Titanic has given experts new insight into the ship.
