The German Chancellor was hoping to do a deal with the US President over steel tariffs

The German Chancellor was hoping to to persuade the President Trump not to impose US tariffs on European steel and aluminium products.

The German Chancellor was hoping to persuade President Trump not to impose US tariffs on European steel and aluminium products. We get analysis of the meeting from Clare Richardson of broadcaster Deutsche Welle. Also in the programme, European Union member states have voted in favour of a near complete ban on the use of insecticides containing neonicotinoids, which have been linked with the devastation of bee populations. We hear why from Anca Paduraru, who speaks for the EU on health and food safety, and Guy Smith, deputy president of the UK's National Farmers Union, who tells us why many farmers are unhappy about the move. And it's On Your Feet Day. We hear what long periods of sitting down can do to your body from Dr. Daniel Bailey. Plus we look back at the rest of the week's big business stories, with Jenny Gross of the Wall Street Journal, and Hal Hodson, technology correspondent of The Economist.
