President Trump announces a ban on all travel between EU countries and the US to tackle the spread of coronavirus. Italy closes all shops except food stores and pharmacies, and India cancels all tourism visas. How can the global economy and the markets cope? We find out from financial experts, as well as those suffering from cancelled music events such as Coachella, and gaming events, such as E3, which has also been cancelled this year. Also, Harvey Weinstein, Hollywood director, has been sentenced to 23 years in prison for rape and sexual assault. Finally: why are we so obsessed with social media platform, Tik Tok? We discuss all this with guests Christine Spadafor – a management Consultant in Boston - and Jyoti Malhotra from the Print Website in Delhi
