Weekly Wrap: A US-China trade agreement, and plain old Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor
The meeting between US President Donald Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping made big headlines at the end of the week. A meeting rated 12 out of 10 by Trump, and a trade agreement secured - we’ll take you through what it means for world trade and security. Also in this week’s episode - ‘Prince Andrew’ losing his Prince title, his HRH styling, and his home, plus a warning from new AFP boss Krissy Barrett about sadistic crime networks operating online.
On the lighter side of things, the Bureau of Meteorology has had a shocker with their website redesign. And as always, a recommendation or two as Claire and Jodie discuss Nobody Wants This Season 2, Film Club and an instagram account worth a follow.
