The stock markets were up. What's the story been in the last few hours? Stock markets down because people are thinking we've got the two biggest economies of the world. basically unable to trade with each other.
And interestingly, at the end of his statement yesterday, Donald Trump was saying, I know President Xi, I think he wants to have a deal, but he doesn't know how to do it.

China says it won't back down in the face of a new 125% tariff imposed by President Trump. Sudan has taken its case accusing the UAE of complicity in genocide to the UN's top court.
And a quick saliva test could be the secret weapon in the battle with prostate cancer. also in this podcast.
Why researchers have been showing movies to a mouse and how the results showed them a new cerebral galaxy. Donald Trump's 90-day pause on most of his higher tariffs has benefited every single nation apart from China. The US president has said that the 90 days will be used to strike deals and claims around 75 countries have asked the White House for talks.

I spoke to our China media analyst, Kerry Allen, about reaction in China from top down.
And Kerry, what about what you've been hearing from ordinary Chinese people? How supportive are they? And if they're not supportive, would we hear from them anyway?
So Carrie, those people certainly needed no rousing up at all. But we have been hearing from some Chinese officials, some historical references that would do just that.
So strong stuff there. So what next?
That was Kerry Allen. Well, despite the looming trade war and the threat of recession, it seems Donald Trump can still count on a significant amount of support domestically, particularly in the so-called red states. Professor Arlie Russell Hochschild has made it her life's work to understand the nature of American politics and the reason for Mr Trump's appeal.
She's the author of Stolen Pride, Lost Shame and the Rise of the Right. For that book, she's been spending time in rural Kentucky, an area she describes as the whitest and second poorest congressional district in the US. She's been telling the BBC more about what she found.

Now the International Court of Justice in The Hague is hearing accusations that the United Arab Emirates has been complicit in a genocide allegedly perpetrated by the RSF. The UAE strongly rejects the allegations. Our correspondent in The Hague, Anna Holligan, was at the court.
And what is the allegation against the United Arab Emirates?
And what has the UAE said in response?
And briefly, how could this case unfold for the UAE?
Anna Holligan in The Hague. A groundbreaking study has generated the most powerful and detailed map of a mammal's brain to date. Using a mouse, scientists say they've made Google Maps for the brain and the images they've captured are striking. A series of 3D blueprints showing over three kilometres of neural wiring.
close to 100,000 nerve cells, and about 500 million synapses have been compared to a galaxy, with different parts lighting up at different times.
