Quad leaders mark a milestone at virtual summit

Quad leaders meet at a virtual summit to discuss plans to forge ahead with the creation of a free and open Indo-Pacific.

The leaders of Japan, U.S.A, Australia and India meet at a virtual summit to discuss plans to forge ahead with the creation of a free and open Indo-Pacific. They pledge to make visible contributions to peace, stability and prosperity in the region, including overcoming the coronavirus. Patrick Cronin tells us why we will be hearing more of the Quad in future. Also, President Trump's tariff war with China had a big impact on materials and consumer goods moving between the US and Asia. Gretchen Blough, a customs-brokerage manager in Pennsylvania explains the current state of shipping between the two nations. Also in the programme, the BBC's Elizabeth Hotson examines the business opportunities that have emerged for those seeking to make the most of people being stuck at home and bored during the lockdowns of the past year.
