    Flights between Iran and the United Arab Emirates have been suspended, following tighter US sanctions on Iran's aviation industry. The move effectively cuts Tehran off from Dubai, one of the region's most important commercial hubs. There are also huge backups near Iran's border with Turkey, as overland shipping routes struggle to fill the gaps. Also in this edition: Donald Trump and Xi Jinping hail strong ties between the US and China as they discuss AI, trade and energy.

    Trump sparks debate over diesel export ban (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    The Trump administration's suggestion that it could ban or limit diesel exports has sparked a furious backlash from the American oil industry. Politicians are trying to bring down soaring energy prices ahead of the midterm elections in November, but critics say a ban would cause supply problems and higher prices both at home and abroad. Also in this edition: the OECD says the global economy is withstanding the energy shock better than expected, partly thanks to AI investment.
