Well, as Theo mentioned, the global economy faces increasing uncertainty.

Even big brands with decades of success behind them are feeling the pinch.

One of them, the American whiskey maker Jim Beam, says it's going to stop producing bourbon at its main distillery for all of next year.

That decision comes in the midst of President Donald Trump's trade war with Canada, which has contributed to a significant decline in sales of American alcohol across the border.

Shiranjara Tiwari is our business correspondent, and she tells us what else led to the decision.

OK, so can you give us a rundown then?

These big brands, what kinds of tariffs are they facing at the moment?

And last, it's almost a century since the publication of A. A. Milne's first story to mention Winnie the Pooh, a short story about a bear who likes honey and the wrong sort of bees.

Here's part of that story, read by the playwright Alan Bennett.

I've just been thinking, and I've come to a very important decision.

These are the wrong sort of bees.

Are they?

Quite the wrong sort.

So I think I shall come down.

How?

asked Christopher Robin.

Winnie the Pooh hadn't thought about this.

If he let go of the string, he would fall, bump, and he didn't like the idea of that.

Children's author Frank Cottrell-Boyce and the writer James Campbell have been speaking to Nick Robinson about how the first story came to be published.

It was essentially a teaser after the huge success of the first Winnie the Pooh book when we were very young in 1924.
