the if you market have difficulty catering to the huge demand of the chinese market as it is there are studies saying that there's going to be a demand of about six thousand planes in china as this market is growing and both of these big companies cannot deliver these masses of of aircraft so there's competition waiting in the wings there is the cold sea nine one nine which is the mid-range jet entirely developed in china and built in china it's in the final stages of testing and it does get somewhat of boost from beijing because the chinese government has ordered all the major carriers in china to order at least twenty of these midrange jets for their fleet is there any time frame yet do we know how long this is all going to take from boeing to work out what went wrong and to continue business i guess for them it is hard to say we just got news today that the black boxes so meaning the voice recorder of the flight deck. and the flight

3:51 pm
but it's not his day to day. again no sale. the chinese work on behalf of clients who are far away. the offers come via smartphone go through rough jade and for finnish jewellery this online trade is well suited to the savvy business people here at the market. well that's a good the people on the internet don't know much they do not know if the quality is good we import the good spy plane but taxes are high and they cut into profits if we wear the chains or rings ourselves when we return we don't have to pay taxes she was. finally able to celebrate slit but something doesn't feel right to him. of course it's sad we're selling off our country's treasures here but there is no other way of doing it the chinese are so strong and we're so weak we

government of sheen's op is quite dedicated to restarting and to bring back nuclear power to the extent that it's possible there their target is to have about twenty percent of the nation's energy produced by nuclear power by twenty thirty however they're pretty far behind that goal moment at the moment there's only about nine reactors which are actually in service only in the western part of the country there is many other public opinion is is strongly against it so the battle's kind of going on the government wants to restart it but the people who are mostly against it and what's happened with the government's renewables push this whole big plan to turn the entire region their way the disaster occurred into a real renewable energy pioneer right well some of those things have gone forward you know there's

a lot of solar projects which have been built around the country but again there was kind of a turn in japanese politics the the prime minister at the time of the fukushima disaster now telecon became a very very convinced that that japan needed to get away from nuclear power and to rev up renewable energy as much as possible but the government of sheen's abbay basically reversed a lot of those policies and turned back to nuclear powers as what they called the base load power now they haven't stopped the renewable energy drive but they've slowed it down and one of the major issues is connecting these renewable energies to japan's power grid which is kind of antique in its design and michael penn for a stay in tokyo from the news agency she gets a thank you very much like a nice doing business with you. climate
