Global stock markets fell on Thursday as investors reacted to US President Donald Trump's sweeping announcements on tariffs.
The UK's FTSE 100 share index fell 1.5% and other European markets were also lower, echoing falls seen earlier in Asia.
While stocks fell, the price of gold, which is seen as a safer asset in times of turbulence, touched a record high.
Traders are concerned about the global economic impact of Trump's tariffs, which they fear could stoke inflation and stall growth.
