    (Markets Edition) The March jobs report is officially out, revealing that the economy added a little over 100,000 jobs. That’s much lower than what forecasters were expecting, so what gives?

    (U.S. Edition) China is responding to President Trump after he called for an additional $100 billion in tariffs, saying they are prepared to fight the U.S. “at any cost.” How are America’s trade partners feeling about this, though?

Afterwards, with the release of today’s jobs report, we’ll talk about why there hasn’t been much of an increase in job growth. Then, we’ll discuss what NAFTA negotiations currently look like and what hurdles still need to be cleared.

We’ll take you to Budapest.

We’ll take you to Sao Palo where the nation’s citizens – and highest court – are deeply divided. Then, artificial intelligence researchers are claiming victory after boycotting a Korean institute over concerns about killer robots. Afterwards, ride-hailing app Grab is one of the most valuable startups in Southeast Asia, and it most recently drove rival Uber out of the region.

    (U.S. Edition) The U.S. has released a list of Chinese products that could be subject to new tariffs, prompting China to respond with its own list (which is separate from the back and forth tussle over steel and aluminum going on between the two countries). We’ll take a look at some of the affected items, and how this could impact the U.S. economy. Afterwards, we’ll discuss how NAFTA negotiations are going for the U.S., and then talk about a new report that shows how immigrants are helping power Texas’ economy.
