extra duties on u.s. goods worth some $110000000000.00 the 2 countries are still negotiating but so far talks have been unable to resolve their dispute businesses and investors fear it could escalate and who will end up footing the bill will there be any winners each side is calling the other loser but so far one real loser is already evident global commerce. that's why trade is expected to top the agenda at this week's g. 20 meeting in osaka japan will trump and she find a way to diffuse the tension. at their last meeting in december the 2 leaders announced a kind of truce which has notably failed. well trade my dominate the atmosphere head of the g 20 summit but it's just one of many topics at the event ahead of the meeting the women's political leaders meeting is taking place in tokyo right now

it's hosted by the japanese house of representatives and brings together female heads of state government ministers and parliamentarians from all over the world the o.e.c.d. the world bank and other indicate others indicate that countries with more women in politics invest more in health and education they say all policymaking could benefit from more balanced leadership. well reporter kyoto is at the women's leadership meeting in japan and earlier today i asked her whether aging societies like japan itself needs to encourage more women to seek leadership roles which is. definitely definitely needed that's the reason why are they actually introduced a policy a few years ago called womenomics where you try to get more women to work and numbers show that yes more women are working but the problem is what kind of work are they doing a lot of the women who have been again started working are working in part time jobs working in lower paid positions which means it doesn't really contribute

anything to gender equality and that's where of is also being criticized many people say that he basically sees working women as a means to an end the end being basically saving japan's economy but he doesn't really care about inequality like where it's going and that's why that's one of the big problems that the economy is facing there and i think the way to get actual gender equality in the japanese economy that's still very very long way to go is that actually. in society is that being discussed as a problem briefly. yes it is actually discussed as a problem companies are forced to base. they show how many women they employ there is a change going on but it's very slow paced. our reporter cure dole reporting from japan thank you. and i to some of the other global business stories making

headlines today china has suspended pork and beef imports from canada due to a falsified certificate for a pork product the canadian meat council said it was unclear why beef products have also been banned chinese news agency reported earlier this month that customs authorities in one gene found traces of a banned food additive in pork products from the canadian company friedel roy. bitcoins resurgence is picking up steam the price of currency has soared to its highest level since january last year in asian trading on wednesday bitcoin jumped 10 percent to a price of just under $13000.00 it has now risen for aids trading sessions in a row. u.s. federal reserve chairman jerome powell said the central bank will be taking a closer look at facebook's newly announced cryptocurrency believe brought face

legal challenges are expected. well i'm now joined by the williams from all science desk derek you've just been in the news. talking about the world drug report and nicotine of course is a powerful drug do you think banning vaporing is a good idea well there are 2 sides to the baking issue on the one hand you have the question of people who are smokers who want to quit smoking and there are not the national health service for example and u.k. and the center for disease control in atlanta they both say that actually cigarettes can help you do that so there are health benefits for people who are already addicted to nicotine but the problem is when you get children addicted or young people addicted at an early stage and many of these products have massive doses of nicotine in one single jew product for example there's the equivalent in nicotine of an entire pack of cigarettes so the question of how much that affects development and what that can possibly do to the development of that young person is still very much up in the air in the f.d.a.

hasn't yet regulated it so it's a it's a big issue in san francisco is pushing to the f.d.a. to try to make it to come to a decision well regulations good thing i mean i confess i'm a lifelong smoke i've recently switched to one of those easy grits and they've helped me is nearly totally stay away from cigarettes which are clearly very harmful and common sense says they're not just for you for other people as well yes exactly but if i was living in san fran. this core of berlin decided to ban the sale of products i. would probably force to go back to cigarettes it would it would make it easier to go back to cigarettes why ban it well that's what critics that's what critics of this of this legislation are saying they're saying it's going to force people who are addicted to nicotine to go back to cigarettes but really this is no more no less than kind of a shot across the bows of the industry and as i said of the of the food and drug administration in the united states which has to come up with regulations for how these things work they have not yet done that there are markets out there are

products out on the market that haven't been properly regulated for adults either we don't really know the long term consequences of a ping not yet and but we do know that it's definitely less harmful than smoking we do know that we know that it's less harmful for smoking for people who are already addicted but what does it do to young people that's really the biggest question so you basically the argument is. it's an entry to entry mechanism for young people to get addicted to nicotine that's correct well what about alcohol alcohol is legal cannabis is legal in california why not ban that to well the question is is that those those substances are more strongly and more strictly controlled than the dating industry as there have been studies that have been performed that show when young people who are underage it is age regulated in california as well they think in under 20 one's are not supposed to be able to buy these products but they go into the stores and they're not strictly controlled for id not nearly as strictly as controlled as they would be for example for alcohol or even for cigarettes so it's basically enforcement of

a foursome and all the legal ramifications would be enough. well. san francisco is making a very strong statement and the people who they are not going to have a problem getting access to those products you just have to drive a little bit outside of the city in order to continue to be able to purchase them so san francisco is just sending a statement they're making a statement we want the f.d.a. to regulate this and we're going to force the industry to come to the table so as most simple politics it's more simple politics. there were thank you very much now in the car industry as scrambling to bring the 1st of thomas car to market engineers in france feel there are other fields where automation is needed burra gently why not start small on a star was driving shopping trolleys. this attentive little fellow is one of the autonomous delivery robots being child by
