NFL wives and domestic violence, hydrogen cars, 'Rebel music' explores indigenous communities' issues

NFL wives told to keep quiet about domestic abuse, Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell-powered sedan and an MTV show that chronicles music, youth and global social change.

American auto parts makers have been wary of the TPP, because it initially allowed car companies to use more cheap parts from countries that don’t have to abide by the treaty, like China.

The Mirai, which can drive 650km from a charge of hydrogen, will go on sale in Japan with a price of 62,000 USD (7.2 million yen) on December 15.
