TOKYO (Reuters) - Problems have already become apparent in planning for venues for next year's Olympics, although organisers have yet to be told that they can't use any venue, the CEO of Tokyo 2020, Toshiro Muto, told a news conference on Monday.

He made the comment after Tokyo announced the delayed games would be held from July 23, 2021. Olympics organisers announced last week that the Games would be delayed due to the deepening coronavirus crisis.

How Volvo landed a cheap Chinese EV on U.S. shores in a trade war
A made-in-China electric vehicle will hit U.S. dealers this summer offering power and efficiency similar to the Tesla Model Y, the world's best-selling EV, but for about $8,000 less. The EX30 from Volvo Cars, the Swedish luxury brand owned by China's Geely , foreshadows the fierce competitive threat U.S. automakers could face from Chinese EV manufacturers that have surged far ahead of global rivals, especially on affordability. The $35,000 window sticker of Volvo's compact SUV hits a sweet spot in the U.S. market, where most buyers cannot afford most EVs.
