  • If government doesn't come up with any rule or official statement,

  • Russian barristers are here to stay.

  • And as Donald Trump's tariff regime on countries around the world comes into effect,

  • how will it affect global trade?

  • Meanwhile,

  • the president is claiming a big win as Apple commits to an extra $100 billion of investment inside the US.

  • And the world's most famous investor approaches his 95th birthday in retirement,

  • with his company not showing quite the success it used to.

  • We'll look at the career of Warren Buffett.

  • But first, in just a few hours' time,

  • new tariffs on goods entering the United States from 69 countries will come into effect.

  • They range from 10% to 42%, and there are two countries who fare worst.

  • Brazil, which has since Wednesday been told it will have 50% tariffs on most goods, and India,
