President Trump has been meeting the Lebanese president, Joseph Aoun, in Washington to discuss the implementation of a framework agreement to end the Israeli conflict with the Lebanese militant group, Hezbollah. Our correspondent explains. Donald Trump has imposed a 50% tariff on a wide range of goods imported from Canada, in retaliation for what he called "unequal treatment" of US cars, dairy and alcohol. Canadian businesses tell us how they will be impacted. And statistics suggest that people who respond to emergency situations experience PTSD at significantly higher rates than the general public. We speak to rescue workers about their experiences. Presenter: Luke Jones.
