Episode Synopsis

Bongani Bingwa speaks to Adam Gilchrist for a global round-up of the day’s top stories. In the U.S., former President Donald Trump has signed a sweeping executive order imposing tariffs on nearly 70 countries, including steep hikes for Brazil, Syria, and Myanmar, as part of what he calls a “new system of trade.” In the UK, sacred jewels linked to the Buddha’s remains have been returned to India after outrage over a planned Sotheby’s auction, with the 127-year-old Piprahwa relics now set for public display. And in South Carolina, workers discovered a radioactive wasp nest at a former nuclear facility, raising alarm even though no wasps were present and officials insist there's no danger.   702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.
