Description:

Estonia's Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur tells Will Bain that more countries should up their military spending to five per cent of GDP, in an effort to combat Russian aggression. It follows US President Donald Trump's assertion that too many members of the NATO military alliance rely on America's military might and spending.

China announces retaliatory tariffs against the US after President Trump imposed a ten per cent tax on all Chinese imports. The counter-measures includes tax on coal, gas, oil and cars.

Plus we hear about why Germans take more sick leave than most - and hear about a iconic gaming franchise - The Sims, which celebrates 25 years.
