piling on the pounds: new charges on eu food coming into the uk. "more money is always good" — rock legend gene simmons speaks to the bbc about selling the kiss back catalgogue.

the best thing about this deal is who we are doing this deal with, about the collaborative nature, and about the collaborative nature, and about how we have met our newest, best friends. welcome to world business report. i'm egon cossou. we start in the uk, where the government has unveiled how much companies will have to pay to import certain food from the eu, now the country is no longer part of the european union. small imports of things like fish, salami and cheese will attract fees of up to £145 from the end of this month. the government says the fees will be used to pay for what it describes as "world—class border facilities". well, earlier, i spoke to phil pluck. he's the boss of the cold chain federation, which represents companies working in the temperature controlled supply chain. i asked him about the impact on food prices.

i think it's almost guaranteed to have a negative impact on food prices. food inflation is bad to be affected by the cost of administration, due to the new food import regulations that are coming in on the 30th of april. so there are two obvious costs. the first costis are two obvious costs. the first cost is actually to the import of the food producer in europe. they will have to pay for something called an export health certificate, issued by a vet, to say that that food produce, if it has animal product in it, or is of plant origin, that that food product must be safe and secure. that is the first cost of them. the second is the individual or the company that are ordering that food, based in the uk, and they will now be subject to something called the common user charge, which has only been revealed yesterday. bear in mind, three

weeks�* time, this goes live. yesterday, they announced what the charges will be, £29 per consignment, at £145 maximum amount for any particular importer bringing food in. so it will have, i�*m afraid, and affect, and it will almost certainly affect the sme community, individual restaurants, fish and chip shops, delicatessens, probably much more than it will the larger retailers. can the world�*s two biggest economies mend their fractious relationship? that�*s the big question as the us treasury secretary, janet yellen, makes her second trip to china in less than a year. it comes hot on the heels of a phone call betweenjoe biden and chinese leader xijingping. michelle fleury, our north america business correspondent, joins me now from new york. what are be expecting out of this

meeting? janet yellen is the us treasury secretary, making her second trip to china in recent months, and she has a ready indicated that one of the issues she plans to raise is about overcapacity, that china�*s factories are producing too much, specifically in certain areas, things like solar panels, electric cars, electric batteries for cars, and other clean energy focused technology, and they�*ll worried that is going to be essentially dumped on the rest of the world, that is going to depress prices and potentially put pressures on producers in other countries. she has a ready given some preview, saying it is notjust america that is worried about this, mexico, europe and japan have also been mentioned. when she was speaking to reporters at a stop in alaska en route to china yesterday,, she said

the us had not ruled out a range of actions potentially including tariffs or other sort of trade measures. 0k, we have to leave it there. thank you forjoining us. the veteran american hard rock band kiss has sold its music catalogue, brand—name, likeness and trademarks to the swedish music investor pophouse entertainment. the exact sum isn�*t known, but the bbc understands it�*s more than $300 million and on par with some the biggest deals of its kind. our business reporter, david waddell, spoke to its co—founder gene simmons. we will be able to pay our rent. for any amount of money we wouldn�*t get in bed with the wrong folks. the best thing about this deal is who we are doing a deal with, about collaborative nature,

and about how we have now our newest and best friends for the rest of our lives. pophouse have got a strong record, dealing with abba but you are a different proposition. what was it about pophouse that drew you to work with them? the commitment to taking ai where it has never been before, not just ai, but the technology, and so there�*s business and there�*s the idea of blowing the socks off your fans. they want to take us, that thing that we�*ve created, into areas we never imagined, the caterpillar never imagined that once it stuck its head out of the cocoon that it would grow these beautiful wings that would soar into the heavens. in 2015 you told the bbc, "i approach life the way sharks approach life, they must keep moving or they will drown. i will never stop making more money, i will never have enough." is this the point you feel you have brought in enough money?

more money is always good. i completely reject the idea that if you work hard that you should not make more money. people who say money is the root of all evil do not understand, it is actually the lack of money that is the root of all evil. if you�*ve got hundreds of millions of dollars in your pocket, why would you hold up a 7/11? there is some element of control you still have, but what will be your ongoing message to see them continue to honour your legacy? the pophouse team has already surpassed anything we could have imagined. we have seen the original prototype imagery that�*s going to make you question where you are and your surroundings. it�*s unbelievable but i cannot tell you about it, not now, but soon! cheering.

well, what exactly does pophouse plan to do with the kiss brand? will there be a kiss avatar show similar to its abba voyage show? the man who knows is per sundin, boss of pophouse. hejoins me now from stockholm. thank you forjoining us. first question i have to ask, why kiss? well, they have a longevity of being 50 years in the business. they have a unique ip in the make up and the dresses and the personas. they have fantastic music. they have fans all over the world, in all generations. you may be cannot say that abbott and kiss have the same music, but they have the same kind of dedicated fans. that is really what we�*re looking forward are looking into music ips that we are investing in.

one other thing that does puzzle me is that kiss... let�*s go straight to outside leeds crown court, where there is a press conference taking place. i crown court, where there is a press conference taking place.— conference taking place. i would like to acknowledge _ conference taking place. i would like to acknowledge the - conference taking place. i would like to acknowledge the respect| conference taking place. i would - like to acknowledge the respect and dignity that sharon�*s family have shown over the last 18 years. i do hope that today�*s conviction goes some way in enabling them to move on with their lives. pc sharon beshenivsky lost her life in the most horrific of circumstances, in the line of duty. she will always be remembered. thank you.

and we have just heard from the current senior investigating officer from the force. just basically giving their reaction to what happened, saying they never gave up, they thank the authorities in pakistan for their assistance in tracking down the final perpetrator after all these years. they were saying that now all the members of that gang have been caught and jailed, that that can bring some sort of closure, hopefully allow the family to move on. sharon beshenivsky was a police officer shot dead on the date of her daughter�*s fourth birthday, that young lady is now in her early 20s and has had to live with those awful events in her early life throughout her life, and what they were basically saying is that hopefully it will bring some ability for the family to move on, knowing that the police never gave up in their quest to try and catch first responsible.

one other interesting thing to come
