We're live in Seoul covering the economic cost of North Korea tensions. We go to France on the protests at new labour laws and check in with our reporter in Tokyo for the latest Asia business stories. And we link east with west as we talk about US - China relations with our guests Peter Morici in Washington USA and Wei Yao in Hong Kong, helping us to put all the business news in context.
