President Trump has pledged to renegotiate, not scrap, the NAFTA trade deal.

President Trump has pledged to renegotiate, not scrap, the NAFTA trade deal. We ask Monica de Bolle, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, what changes might be feasible. Also in the programme, search engine Google is sometimes criticised for being too powerful. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Alex Ritson has been finding out why. Air pollution in the UK is said to be responsible for around 40,000 early deaths each year. We ask the environmentalist George Monbiot why the subject is not playing a bigger role in the country's election campaign. Physical books are making a comeback, at the expense of e-book sales. James Daunt is managing director of the British bookshop chain Waterstone's, and tells us what is behind the apparent turnaround in fortunes for paper books. Plus the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Edwin Lane reports from Japan on the farmers trying to save the over-fished bluefin tuna from extinction.
