The US will keep tariffs on $7.5bn worth of items including French cheese and whiskies. Giorgio Leali is trade reporter for Politico Europe, and has been following the dispute. And Alice O'Donovan is from Eucolait, which represents many of Europe's dairy companies, and describes the impact on Irish butter producers. Also in the programme, tourism businesses have written to the leaders of the G7 largest industrialised economies to ask for international co-operation to save the industry. Tom Jenkins is from the European Tour Operators Association, and tells us how much bookings are down by. The conference industry has also been heavily hit by the coronavirus pandemic, and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Jane Wakefield explores whether the idea of virtual conferences will offer a lifeline to the sector. Plus, with theatre on Broadway in New York shut down until 2021, we hear about the implications for the performers, set designers, stage managers and others who contribute to live productions.
