Description:

China has accused the United States of "blackmail" after President Trump threatened to slap an extra 50% tariff on Chinese imports.

On Monday, Trump gave China until Tuesday to scrap its 34% counter tariff or face an additional 50% tax on goods imported into the US, meaning US companies could face a total rate of 104% on Chinese imports. China has said it will "fight to the end" as it called Trump's moves "bullying".

Also in the programme: Is a new 'Iran Deal' possible as talks between the US and Iran are announced?; and how Madonna and Elton John have apparently 'buried the hatchet'.
