Trade war spills over & department stores surge

The US-China trade war grinds on, with new twists almost daily, but how does the conflict look from within Asia? We take a look at Hong Kong’s view of the trade war, and rumblings about the risk of recession.

Professor Richard Wolff is on hand to give us his latest takes on the transpacific trade fight and the near future of the US economy. And finally, major corporate titans are squaring off in court, and Tesla is under fire yet again, as they face a suit from Walmart over solar panels. RT correspondent Alex Mihailovich is standing by to break it all down.
