The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/responsibility-for-what-happens-next-lies-with-japan-south-korea-president-moon-jae-in-on-trade-confrontation-240091">South Korean government</a> has launched a new learning website for companies puzzled by Japan's recent trade restrictions against the country amid growing confusion over changes of rules about buying Japanese goods.

The website&nbsp;is up and running since Thursday, a day before Japan decided to drop South Korea from the so-called "white list" of easy trade countries in midst of a growing dispute between the two countries over their wartime past.

"There have been myriads of requests from companies that need a clear picture of what getting removed from the white list means," a South Korean trade ministry official told Reuters on Friday, referring to the reason for the website.

The website titled "Know the Japanese restrictions Right" offers a list of sensitive items which can face tightened regulations and guidelines for companies to provide information to Japanese suppliers if they need approval.

Businessmen can also sign up for a face-to-face meeting with government officials via the website.

South Korea's removal from the favoured trade countries list may require South Korean firms to take extra administrative procedures to obtain import permits, potentially slowing down purchases of a wide range of Japanese goods that can be used for weapons production.

The country's President Moon Jae-in on Friday said South Korea would not be "defeated again" by its neighbour, laying bare decades-old animosity at the root of a row over fast-track export status.

"I can see challenges won't be small. Our companies and people have the capacity to overcome this ordeal...We can do this," Moon told a cabinet meeting.

The South Korean government has been hosting a series of seminars for industry groups from semiconductor sectors to the automobile industry as companies scramble to prepare for new trade environment with Japan.

"This is such a confusing time for everyone regardless of which industry you are in," said an official at a South Korean major electric car battery maker.

"The rules are so vague and confusing that almost no one knows how to comply and what to do. It's like an unopened black box," the official added, asking not to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter.

He said the Lok Sabha has passed six Bills in the session which are yet to get the approval of the Rajya Sabha. The Upper House has passed four Bills in the session.

Joshi said the session has so far been very productive and thanked the opposition parties for their cooperation.

"In recent history, it has been a big productive session and I thank all the opposition parties for their cooperation," he said.

After being accused of having multiple affairs, Pakistan's opening batsman Imam-ul-Haq has apologised to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

"Imam was remorseful and has apologised for what all has happened and admitted his mistake. He said the matter got out of hand due to a misunderstanding," geo.tv quoted PCB Managing Director, Wasim Khan as saying.

"But we told him in clear terms that, although this is his personal and private matter, we expect our players to adhere to the highest standards of ethics and discipline," he added.

Khan added that the board takes these type of matters very seriously, saying centrally contracted players are expected to be more responsible.

"We don't like to comment on personal affairs of a player but we expect that our centrally contracted players will also show more responsibility being ambassadors of Pakistan cricket and Pakistan," Khan said.

"Hopefully we will not see such incidents again," he added.

Earlier, Imam-ul-Haq landed himself in a controversy after a Twitter user accused him of having affairs with several girls and cheating on them.

The user had leaked his WhatsApp chats with several girls alleging that the cricketer had exploited them.

The incident seemed to have divided the netizens as some questioned the cricketer's conduct whereas others criticised the girls.

At the time of writing the story, the Twitter handle from which the screenshots of the cricketer's chats were leaked had ceased to exist.

"So apparently Mr&nbsp;@ImamUlHaq12 was dating 7 to 8 (that we know of) women and kept using them and manipulating them. He kept telling them the whole time how he's single. Some of the screenshots attached from girl 1," a Twitter user had written attaching screenshots of the cricketer's alleged chat.

"Since when dating or not marrying someone you promised became a part of #Metoo. I can't see #Imamulhaq harassing or asking for pictures. Stop misusing this to defame someone when it's consensual. It'll lose worth &amp; actual victim won't get help! How this comes under #metoo," another Twitter user had written in Imam's defence.

Imam was the part of the Pakistani cricket team during the recently concluded ICC Men's Cricket World Cup and he had scored a century against Bangladesh.

''After 37 years, with strong commitment to hard work, having directly created 30,000 jobs in our companies and their subsidiaries. I have failed to create the right profitable business model despite my best efforts,'' Siddhartha wrote in the letter.

Indian shares edged higher on Tuesday, tracking broader Asia ahead of a widely expected rate cut by the US Federal Reserve.

The Fed begins its two-day policy meeting later in the day, at which it is widely expected to lower interest rates by 25 basis points. If implemented, it would be the central bank's first rate cut in a decade.

The broader NSE Nifty was up 0.32 per cent at 11,224.85 as of 0455 GMT, while the benchmark BSE Sensex rose 0.31per cent to 37,803.38.

"The positive open follows mildly positive US markets on Monday and largely positive Asian markets this morning," said Deepak Jasani, senior vice president at HDFC Securities.

"Some beaten-down stocks of Monday are seeing some bounce."

Banks and financials led the gains, with the Nifty Bank index and the Nifty Finance index rising 0.5 per cent each. ICICI Bank was among the top gainers with a rise of 1.2 per cent.

State Bank of India, the country's biggest lender, tightened lending terms for auto dealers as it sought to reduce its exposure to the crisis-ridden sector, Reuters reported on Monday.

The move, however, did not dampen investor sentiment on the sector. The Nifty Auto index was up 0.4 per cent, after it touched an over three-year low on Monday.

Sector heavyweights Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors were up 0.5 per cent and 0.8 per cent, respectively.

Dr Reddy's Laboratories, which reported better-than-expected earnings on Monday, saw its stock rise slightly over 1 per cent. Cipla Ltd was up nearly 2 per cent.

Among losers, Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd extended its fall from Monday after a lawmaker alleged embezzlement by the company to the tune of 1 trillion rupees.

Huawei Technologies extended its lead in a declining China smartphone market in the second quarter, with its market share rising to 38% as all other top vendors lost ground, according to data from market research firm Canalys.

Huawei, which was put on a trade blacklist by the United States since mid-May, shipped 37.3 million smartphones in China in the second quarter, up 31% year-on-year, according to Canalys. It's market share rose more than 10 percentage points from the year-ago quarter's 27.6%.

The second-quarter China shipments represented 64% of Huawei's total smartphone shipments in the quarter, Canalys said.

Smartphone shipments in the world's largest smartphone market declined by 6% in the three months ended June to 97.6 million units, according to Canalys. It was the 9th consecutive quarterly fall in China smartphone shipments, the data showed.

Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi Corp and Apple Inc, the top 4 vendors behind Huawei, saw declines in shipments and market share in the quarter. Canalys analyst Mo Jia said Huawei's addition to the US Entity List in May "caused uncertainty overseas" but it has been shifting its focus back towards its home market, where it invested in aggressive offline expansion to lure consumers from domestic rivals with a patriotic sales pitch.

Huawei's blacklisting by Washington has threatened to cut its access to essential US components and software such as the Google Android apps.

The Chinese company is set to report half-year results later on Tuesday.

Brent crude rose 30 cents, or 0.5%, to $64.01 a barrel by 0013 GMT, after gaining 0.4% the previous session.

US crude was up 34 cents or 0.6%, at $57.21 a barrel, having risen 1.2% on Monday.

Crude futures are "well bid on the back of rising expectations of a rate cut in the US," ANZ Research said in a morning note, adding that optimism over Sino-US trade talks and Middle East tensions are also supporting prices.

US central bankers will begin their two-day meeting later in the day and are expected to lower borrowing costs for the first time since the depths of the financial crisis more than a decade ago.

US President Donald Trump said a small rate cut "is not enough."

Economic growth in the United States slowed less than expected in the second quarter, strengthening the outlook for oil consumption but, elsewhere, disappointing economic data has increased concerns about slower growth.

US and Chinese negotiators meet this week for their first in-person talks since a G20 truce last month, with some optimistic that the discussions will help bridge the gap between the world's two largest economies.

However, Trump said China might not want to sign a trade deal until after the 2020 US election.

Supply risks are still a concern as tensions remained high around the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world's oil passes.

Tensions spiked between Iran and the West after Iranian commandos seized a British-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf this month in apparent retaliation for the capture of an Iranian tanker by British forces near Gibraltar.
