The US President Donald Trump has announced a 50% tariff on imports of copper, which is critical to electric vehicles, military hardware, semiconductors and a wide range of consumer goods. Sam Fenwick hears from experts in the industry. Also, shares in major US renewable companies took a hit after the President signed an executive order tightening their access to clean energy tax breaks. Plus WeightWatchers, the weight management business, has announced a new era as it emerges from a major debt restructuring. It's after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States in May.
