The driver fled the scene of the incident, but was arrested several streets away. We hear more from Natalie Kalata of CBC News at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre where the victims were taken, and Caryn Lieberman of Global News Toronto, reporting from the scene. Emmanuel Macron meets Donald Trump in the US for bilateral talks expected to cover the Iran nuclear deal and trade. Alice Pannier, an assistant professor of International Relations at John Hopkins University in Washington, tells us about different perspectives of the two leaders. We travel to the US state of Tennessee, home to one of the last US pencil factories to see how Trump's targeting of Chinese imports goods could benefit the industry. Chinese tech firms have promised to do better, after a rights group has accused private companies and public organisations in China of widespread gender discrimination in job advertisements. We hear from Leta Hong Fincher, author of 'Betraying Big Brother: The Feminist Awakening in China'. Plus, Shania Twain has apologised after telling the Guardian she would have voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 election if she was able to as a Canadian. So, how political should entertainers be? A question for Charles Koppelman, head of CAK Entertainment and formerly Michael Jackson's business manager.

We're joined throughout the programme by Alison Van Diggelen, presenter of the Fresh Dialogues podcast in San Francisco and Jasper Kim, author of 'Persuasion: The Hidden Forces That Influence Negotiations' and founder of Asia-Pacific Global Research Group, in Seoul.
