26 分钟Hello and welcome to World Business Report on the BBC World Service.
I'm Will Bain.
Great as always to have your company on the programme.
Coming up today,
the heat seems to be back under those trade tensions again between the US and China.
We'll hear why Beijing has accused the United States of seriously violating...
the trade truce between the pair and look at how it might plan to respond.
That'll come up in just a moment.
Also on the programme today,
plans to boost internal trading and turbocharge the Canadian economy.
That's on the agenda as the country's provincial leaders meet with the central government against perhaps the most difficult economic backdrop Canada has ever faced in its own trade dispute,
of course, with the US.
And we'll hear how the city of Lagos hopes to persuade commuters out of their cars and onto the water.
So what we're expecting, 70 electric ferries,
and then we're going to upgrade 20 jetties and terminals.
We're going to be channelising 140km of the inland waterways in Lagos State.
Yep,
the man charged with making ferries the commute of choice in one of the world's most popular cities will tell us how he aims to make the vision a reality a little bit later on here on World Business Report.
And good news for all of us, apparently the radio features.
prominently in there, which is good news for all of us and our job prospects, isn't it?
