The IMF has cut its global growth forecast because of the uncertainty caused by tariffs, and says it expects US growth to be hit the hardest.On Wednesday, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said the UK must take the risk of trade wars hitting global economic growth "very seriously".

However, Reeves said: "I do understand the concerns the US has about countries around the world that run large and persistent trade surpluses with the US."She said the UK "is not one of those countries" so "there is a deal there to be done between the UK and the US".She added that she understood "the need to rebalance the global economy".

This, in part, is why the UK announced on Wednesday a review of low-value imports coming into the UK which are "undercutting the British High Street and British retailers" she said.This mirrors a US action, with the White House set to clamp down on deliveries under $800 - specifically those sent from China and Hong Kong - on 2 May.

Titled "The Buried Bitcoin: The Real-Life Treasure Hunt of James Howells", the series is set to explore the early days of bitcoin, Mr Howells' involvement, the legal battle, and his high-tech plan to excavate the site, all brought to life with extensive CGI.Mr Howells said it would also follow his efforts to purchase the landfill where the hard drive is believed to be buried.
