49 分钟Hello and welcome to Business Matters.
I'm Roger Hearing.
Coming up on the program today,
we'll be looking at an unprecedented move by President Trump in the Middle East crisis.
His startling idea is to take over and own the Gaza Strip.
Palestinians living there, he said at the press conference in Washington,
will be resettled in other countries in the region.
Well,
we're going to take a look at the extraordinary implications of this and whether it could actually happen and how Palestinians,
Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt will react.
Also in the programme,
China and the US set to begin a trade war as a phone call between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping didn't happen.
And we hear about Germany's generous sick leave policies for workers,
plus the 25th birthday of one of the world's most successful video games, Sims.
And I'll be joined throughout the programme by two guests on opposite sides of the world, David Kuo,
financial analyst and co-founder of The Smart Investor, who's joining us on the line from Singapore.
David, a very good morning to you.
Ah, no, not David there, I don't think.
We'll try and link up with him in a moment.
But let's say hello at least to Amy Booth,
