Tiktok was first put on the hot seat in the us over the weekend.

Last week it introduced the task and Rewards Programme in france and spain, which are essentially rewards users any time they watch a video or participate in one of its tasks. However the head of the European Commission has raised a red flag, saying it will hurt the Mental Health of people, particularly young ones, saying it is toxic and addictive.

Now to the word of crypto currency. The world of. As mandated in the bitcoin code, about every four years the Currency Network will slash its reward to miners. This practice, known as halving, took place last friday. Thats the fourth time its been done since bitcoin was launched back in 2009. I spoke to Crypto Researcher Molly white and asked her what exactly the Halving Process Entails and about its impact on miners. Bitcoin rewards to miners have decreased by half since previously, and they have been some impact on miners, where they get half as many rewards, which, for a couple of days, doesnt make much impact but will do later. There wasnt too Much Movement in the Bitcoin Price, which i think was to be expected. The impacts from the halving are usually somewhat protracted, but i also think that the days of the Bitcoin Halving being this momentous occasion have maybe gone by, as these rewards have dwindled over time, and as Bitcoin Markets have begun to follow traditional markets far more than they once did. So traditionally, then, what would usually happen to the price when one of these Halving Occurrences happened . Does it follow the usual demand and supply . That was the theory at least and people have looked at the Bitcoin Price chart and correlated Price Increases with the Bitcoin Halvings in the past, but it is really hard to say to what extent that is a causative event, that halving is what caused those Price Increases, and to what extent it was merely correlated. The last time the Bitcoin Halving happened was basically at the very beginning of the covid 19 pandemic, which sparked major demand, so to blame it on the halving, rather than the macroeconomic conditions at the time, is maybe not so wise. So, historically, prices have gone up when bitcoin has gone through the halving, but whether or not that will remain true this time remains to be seen. Turning to australia, and its wine industry, where producers are relieved chinas lawmakers have ended its tariffs on Australian Wine. But rekindling the business with the worlds second largest economy is going to take some time and effort, as phil mercer reports from sydney. The world has a taste for wine from australia. It is celebrating the lifting of duties imposed by what was its most valuable customer, china. But rebuilding a booming trade will take time. I think there will be a lot of work, and the chinese industry is so much built on relationships as well, and having that time out of the market has meant other people have stepped into those gaps that we left, so rebuilding those relationships will be a huge part of getting back into china. Big challenges remain, even though the tariffs are being lifted. The diplomatic row between beijing and canberra cost australia its biggest overseas wine market. The value of its exports to china fell from more than 600 million at their peak to just under 7 million last year. But here in the hunter valley, there is a determination to try to claw back much of what was lost. A consequence of chinas restrictions is a huge glut of wine in australia, estimated to be the equivalent of more than 850 0lympic swimming pools. Growers have had to look elsewhere. We have put a bit of effort and time into exploring newer markets, such as vietnam, south korea, india and japan, and i think that has been a Silver Lining i guess from the stress that these tariffs have put on the Australian Wine industry. Despite the tariffs, overall trade has been growing. China has, for example, still relied on australia for iron ore thats used in steel making. Those diplomatic tensions appear to be easing. The Chinese Foreign minister, when he came, said the parties should be able to rise above their disagreements, so i think that is really significant. There is goodwill on both sides, and a joint desire to continue to engage and improve the relationship. China knows Australian Wine, they have a history of buying it, and even if it doesnt come back the size that it was prior to these tariffs, it is still great news for the Australian Wine industry. And winemakers like to think their glass is half full and not half empty. Phil mercer, bbc newsin the huntervalley.
