We examine the global marketplace for human hair and hear why some think it is unethical.

We examine the global marketplace for human hair and hear why some think it is unethical. Dan Choi runs Remy, a company in Vietnam which sells hair extensions around the world, and explains his business model. And Christina Adesina of Fair Hair Care discusses some of the problems with the industry. Also in the programme, South Korea has accused Japan of waging an economic war, as both countries place further trade restrictions on each other. Our Asia business correspondent Karishma Vaswani describes the origins of the dispute. Plus this weekend players are competing in London for the Fifa eWorld Cup video game competition, with $250,000 up for grabs. One of those watching will be Ellie Camburn, a presenter and YouTuber, who goes by the name of 'Elz the Witch', and tells us about the burgeoning industry.
