women actually play in japan's economy. it's actually very sad the role that women play in the japanese economy is quite small just to give you an example of all of the c.e.o.'s in japan only 8 percent women you can compare that to the e.u. for example where the average is about 30 percent so you can see that's very little also if you look at the list of companies it drops to 4 percent if we look at the gender wage gap japan is one of the west in the o.e.c.d. women a quarter less than their male counterparts and it's not because women wouldn't start working at a young age where they just cannot work from the beginning it's because if the women then work and then marry and get kids it's very hard for them to get back into work so that's a major problem in the japanese economy. society and japan like in many other industrialized societies is aging rapidly and women needed to fill the gaps that. they had definitely definitely needed that's the reason why are they actually introduced a policy a few years ago called womenomics w

japan had been given a way.etween japan celebrating many years of diplomatic ties betweenjapan and iran, is in a good position. japan is also very close to saudi arabia and shinzo abe‘s close to jump so he is an ideal person to try and build a bridge here and tell the iranians don‘t ramp up your nuclear programme as they threatened they would do, and may bespeak some reason to the americans and the saudis. so this could be helpful. this could be very helpful. good news is they are hosting the 620 summit at the end of the month. absolutely. and it comes in line with my pope leo —— mike pompeo spending time in switzerland and switzerland represents the us in and switzerland represents the us in a run which is why he could have those discussions —— tehran. there‘s a lot going on below the service. most meat in 2040 being not from animals or artificial intelligence? meet and animals. i was shocked when i read this in the guardian —— meat. 50% of all the crop we produce is actually fed to animals. so, you know, the m

exports to japan and the u.s. business presence in japan further expand. pretty well japan as u.s. businesses, but we can do better and that is what we are hoping this new agreement is going to accomplish by bringing in a deal. -- a comprehensive deal. paul: are you concerned that auto tariffs are going to the back of the agenda once the elections are out of the way in japan? the president indicated, as you are suggesting here, that he was going to lay off the pressure on japan until after those elections. they are indeed very important for prime minister abe. he has a two thirds majority in the upper house and he certainly want keep that. and depending on the outcome, his ability to get a trade deal, including some of the difficult areas in agriculture will be affected. it is going to be important, i think, to see what the prime minister's margin for maneuver is after those elections. clearly, it is going to be a key thing to be watching here as we gave the prospects for a quick resolution or a quick agreement, rather, in these negotiations. paul: christo
