China has said no to any trade talks until the US withdraws its tariffs, but which of the World's two superpowers will blink first and bring the growing trade war to an end? Rahul Tandon speaks to the President of the American Toy Association on how children's Christmas presents, including Barbie dolls, Hot Wheels cars and Jellycats toys, could fall victim to the US-China trade war. Meanwhile, how will the higher education sector in the US be affected by the fall out? We enter the World of the ‘workfluencers’, where the personal meets the professional, and how corporations are increasingly putting employees in front of the camera in order to humanise the working environment. Elsewhere, as the situation in Kashmir develops and Pakistan suspends all trade with India, we find out about the growing tension between the two countries. And there's concern for the survival of Africa's shea nut tree which provides an income for millions of women. Global business news, with live guests and contributions from Asia and the USA.
