  • Hello and welcome to World Business Report here on the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Rahul Tan and we're going to be talking about another crucial decision that's been taken by OpenAI and ask,

  • what will a Chinese player winning the World Snooker Championships mean for the sport?

  • Could it see a lot more money coming into it?

  • But let us start with another day, another tariff,

  • because this time Donald Trump wants to make movies in America great again.

  • Our film industry has been decimated.

  • by other countries taking him out and also by incompetence.

  • Like in Los Angeles, the governor is a grossly incompetent man.

  • He's just allowed it to be taken away from Hollywood.

  • Hollywood doesn't do very much of that business.

  • They have the nice sign and everything's good, but they don't do very much.

  • A lot of it's been taken to other countries.

  • So the US president, as you heard there,

  • said the industry is dying a very fast death and he wants to put tariffs on films made abroad.

  • So would films like this new release be tariffed?

  • This explains the handcuffs.

  • It's still not clear why he's here.

  • If we want to bring the world...

  • Mission impossible there, the final reckoning.
