Threat of tariffs looms over New York Auto Show

President Trump could target vehicles made by European firms with tariffs within weeks.

The New York Auto Show begins today, with the threat of new tariffs being held over the international car industry by President Donald Trump. The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ's Michelle Fleury is there. For decades pilots and cabin crew worldwide have been arguing that toxic air on-board the planes they fly has been making them - and passengers - ill. The industry says there’s no such thing as β€˜Aerotoxicity', but scientists and doctors have suggested otherwise. The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ's Mike Powell brings us up to date on this story. Haiti's foreign minister Bocchit Edmond tells us how his country is trying to reinvigorate its coffee industry, decimated by an earthquake nine years ago. Plus, payouts by pet insurers in the UK hit a record Β£785m in 2018, even though the number of claims submitted fell, according to the industry trade body. We hear why from Malcolm Tarling of the Association of British Insurers.
