Trade war averted between the United States and Mexico

BBC World Service - Weekend, Trade war averted between the United States and Mexico

President Trump indefinitely suspends his threatened tariffs on Mexican imports.

The United States and Mexico have reached an agreement to stop more migrants from crossing their joint border. A joint declaration said Mexico would take unprecedented steps to curb illegal immigration. President Trump said he would indefinitely suspend the tariffs on Mexican imports that he had threatened to impose. 

Also on the programme we take a look back at yet another hectic week in British politics. And as the football women's world cup kicks off we hear about the Libyan women's national team. What does it feel like to play football for a country in a state of civil war?
