Trump increases global tariff, Far-right protests in Lyon, Canada's Olympic standings, and more

About this episode

The U.S. President says he intends to ratchet up tariffs, again. Shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against many of his sweeping tariffs, Trump announced a plan to impose a temporary 10 percent tax on imports from around the world. And then today, Trump took to social media to say he's bumping that up to 15 percent.


Also: The city of Lyon has become a flashpoint in France's culture wars. Thousands hit the streets of that city today to protest the killing of Quentin Deranque. The 23 year old -- who was active in far-right, ultranationalist circles -- was beaten to death in a brawl with an alleged group of far-left activists. You'll hear how Deranque's killing is dividing French society. 


And: Canada's athletes at the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics have had their fair share of triumphs and disappointments. Our team in Milan tells us all about them - and what to expect from Sunday's gold medal Men's hockey game.


Plus: U.S. deploys troops to Nigeria, Saskatchewan's biggest dog sled race, and more.
