On today’s episode, we take a look at the stories shaping global business and markets.
We discuss China’s state visit to the United States with Claire Reade, exploring the key issues and what the visit could mean for relations between the two countries.

Cary Leahey joins us to discuss what’s trending in the markets, from the latest moves to the themes investors are watching.

We also look at the UN’s conference on scams and the growing international focus on scam operations linked to Cambodia.

And could the growing popularity of high-protein diets be putting the food industry under pressure? We examine how changing consumer habits are affecting the businesses behind the trend.

Finally, we turn to Turkey, where the founder of an investment fund at the centre of an alleged eighteen-billion-dollar Ponzi scheme has been arrested. We speak to Piotr Zalewski, The Economist’s Turkey correspondent in Istanbul, about the allegations, the scale of the scandal and what it means for Turkey’s financial sector.
