Donald Trump says he'll first put 10% then 25% extra import tax on eight countries including Germany, France and the UK as he increases the pressure on his claim for Greenland to be sold by Denmark to the United States. China reports 5% GDP growth, but weak demand and falling birth rates signal deeper challenges for the world’s second-largest economy. And winners crowned on and off the pitch at football's African Cup of Nations. Presenter: Bisi Adebayo Editor: Justin Bones
