US markets have worst ever first quarter

Global business news, with live guests and contributions from Asia and the USA.

The Dow Jones and S&P 500 had their worst ever start to the year with both ending the first three months of 2020, more than 20% lower. We get analysis from Joe Saluzzi at Themis Trading in New Jersey. America overtakes China for the number of deaths from Coronavirus and Toyko has recorded a record number of new cases in a day. The 主播大秀's Ed Butler talks coronavirus statistics with Professor John Ioannidis, an epidemiologist at Stanford University. And what do you do if you're out of work at the moment? If you're looking for a job the picture has shifted dramatically; we speak to Alexa Shown, author of Entry Level Boss. Some people are adapting the unfamiliar work environment including Nic Crilly-Hargrave, a food photographer in London helping restaurants transform into takeaways. And celebrated pianist Fabio D'andrea who's taking Instagram requests from fans, plays us out with his take on some popular tunes. Plus we're joined throughout the programme by Diane Brady, a journalist and author in New York and in Tokyo, the Financial Times bureau chief Robin Harding.
