Swiss women are striking today in favour of "more time, more pay, more respect". We talk to Celine Renaud, a Swiss businesswoman who quit her job and set up her own company, when she found out a male colleague doing the same work at the same level was being paid more. And we find out more about the level of gender disparity in the country from Adele Thorens, a member of the Swiss Parliament for the Green Party. Also in the programme, a government plan in Tanzania to impose a 25% duty on imports of wigs and hair extensions has angered women there. Ruth Josephat Urio owns a business called J'Adore Wigs in Dar Es Salaam, and discusses the likely impact of the new tax on her business. Plus our reporter in California explains how the ongoing trade war between the US and China is posing a significant challenge for American winemakers.
