Democrat senator calls for President Biden to stand aside

Rahul Tandon hears from a Democrat donor and Betsey Stevenson, Former Economic Adviser to President Obama, as Democrat senator Peter Welch calls for President Biden to stand aside

We hear from Betsey Stevenson, Former Economic Adviser to President Obama, who served on the transition team for the Biden-Harris ticket - as the first Democratic Senator publicly calls for President Biden to stand aside as the party's presidential nominee.

Meanwhile the US imposes steel tariffs on Mexico - at least the steel coming from China. We ask whether tariffs are economically the way forward - or backward.

Plus in Greece - new regulations are being introduced to limit the areas on beaches that bars and restaurants can use. The rules are intended to leave enough space for the public, who have complained about exorbitant prices charged by beachfront businesses that restrict their free access.

Rahul Tandon is joined by Fermin Koop in Argentina and Zyma Islam in Bangladesh to discuss the most important and interesting global business and economic stories.
