BBC World Service - World Business Report, Nafta: Clock is ticking for Canada in US trade negotiations

The clock is ticking for Canada to come to a trade agreement with the US

Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland cancelled a European trip to fly to Washington, DC for trade negotiations on Tuesday for the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta). Maryscott Greenwood is CEO of the Canadian-American Business Council. She spoke to us just as the Canadian Foreign Minister, Chrystia Freeland, went into the first round of talks with the US Trade Representative. Plus Joe Saluzzi co-manager of trading, Themis Trading in New Jersey gives us his reaction.British investments in Africa - there's certainly history there, but is there a future? As British Prime Minister Theresa May makes her first official visit to the continent, we look at how the two powers can get closer. Women in India are entering the traditionally male realm of rickshaw driving - the BBC Vivienne Nunis has been there to speak to them. And as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival comes to a close and the comedy fans go home, we look at the aftermath of such huge events and look at the problem of too much tourism. Might a tourism tax regulate crowds and prices?
