	Description:		In a dramatic change of policy, Donald Trump has paused higher tariffs on goods entering the United States from every country except China. In a post on social media, the President said levies would be lowered to ten percent, but taxes on Chinese imports would rise to 125%. We get reaction to the turmoil from Republican congressman Pete Sessions and French Member of Parliament Éléonore Caroit. Also in the programme: We've live in the Dominican Republic after that nightclub roof collapse; and the new London exhibition of Cartier - jeweller to the rich and famous.
