The BBC has revealed its list of 100 inspiring and influential women from around the world for 2020.

This year 100 Women is highlighting those who are leading change and making a difference during these turbulent times.

The list includes Sanna Marin, who leads Finland's all-female coalition government, Michelle Yeoh, star of the new Avatar and Marvel films and Sarah Gilbert, who heads the Oxford University research into a coronavirus vaccine, as well as Jane Fonda, a climate activist and actress.

And in an extraordinary year - when countless women around the world have made sacrifices to help others - one name on the 100 Women list has been left blank as a tribute.

How were the 100 Women chosen?

The BBC's 100 Women team drew up a shortlist based on names gathered by them and suggested by the BBC's network of World Service languages teams. We were looking for candidates who had made the headlines or influenced important stories over the past 12 months, as well as those who have inspiring stories to tell, achieved something significant or influenced their societies in ways that wouldn't necessarily make the news. The pool of names was then assessed against this year's theme - women who led change - and measured for regional representation and due impartiality, before the final names were chosen.

What is 100 Women?

BBC 100 Women names 100 influential and inspirational women around the world every year. We create documentaries, features and interviews about their lives, giving more space for stories that put women at the centre.

Follow BBC 100 Women on Instagram and Facebook and join the conversation.

In an extraordinary year, when countless women around the world have made a sacrifice to help others, the first place on the list is left open to acknowledge their work and to remember those who have lost their lives while making a difference.

Though BBC 100 Women cannot name every woman across the globe who has made a contribution, this space is designed to allow you to think of the people who have had an impact on you, over the course of 2020.

During the pandemic, Rina and her team of helpers have served around 400 meals a week - including rice, vegetables, eggs and meat - to sex workers in Dhaka who have found themselves without clients, and are thus struggling to feed themselves.

AI, NLG, and Machine Learning

With constant shifts in consumer needs and expectations, many industries are turning to artificial intelligence to increase efficiency to better meet customer demands. Learn more about the benefits of AI in manufacturing.

Benefits of AI in Manufacturing

There's no doubt that artificial intelligence has revolutionized the way we operate. From healthcare to advertising to your Netflix recommendations, AI directly enhances our day to day lives by providing a fast, efficient, and customized experience. But how does AI impact our lives in ways that we may not be aware of? Look around you at the products that fill your home that you use every single day. AI technology has become more developed and advanced, leading to lower costs and making the technology more accessible across various industries. This shift has made a massive impact in the way that products are manufactured and has led to more efficiency, less human error, and greater output overall. Let's explore the role of artificial intelligence in manufacturing.

Generative Design

AI technology in robotics allows us to achieve collaboration between human minds and bot technical capabilities. Generative design demonstrates this principle by receiving human inputs that tell the machine the input elements, specifications, tolerances, etc., that are then considered in building a complex algorithm. Using this algorithm, artificial intelligence runs simulations of all possible combinations of the design inputs to create the optimum product design.

Quality Assurance Inspections

Companies like BMW and Canon have found valuable use of artificial intelligence using advanced imaging comparison technology to identify discrepancies and deviations from product design specifications and catch errors that may be undetectable to the human eye. This creates more consistent quality, which is beneficial for business on many levels, from a customer satisfaction perspective to a time and cost savings standpoint.

Preventative Maintenance

Many industries use artificial intelligence to predict when mechanical parts may require replacing. Machine learning combined with historical data creates an algorithm that identifies potential problems before they arise, allowing operational employees to take the necessary measures to prevent issues that may slow or even halt production.

Predictive Forecasting

In today's ever-changing climate, businesses must be attentive to subtle shifts in consumer patterns that indicate major demand fluctuations in the near future, as this can create serious issues upstream for production. AI algorithms can help manage all elements of the supply chain to prepare for market shifts that may otherwise hurt production and distribution. Anticipating these market fluctuations allows businesses to become extremely resilient and focus time and resources to the most critical points, adopting a proactive versus reactive strategy.

Real-time Monitoring

Real-time monitoring is one of the most significant benefits of AI in manufacturing, as it provides a more detailed picture of where in the manufacturing process any inefficiencies are occurring and what is causing the bottleneck. The ability to pinpoint the exact process that requires improvement allows businesses to promptly address the issue, resulting in time and cost savings.

The benefits of AI in manufacturing cannot be overstated. From predicting when a machine on the assembly line will require maintenance to predicting production volumes based on consumer patterns and data, artificial intelligence has proven numerous ways that it is revolutionizing production on both tactical and strategic levels. While we have already taken massive strides in implementing AI in manufacturing applications, there is still much work to be done. Businesses continue to research how they can improve and enhance their operations by replacing or supplementing human labor to complete menial production tasks, freeing up opportunities for workers to think more strategically and creatively.

These past few months have been demanding for HR pros. From the global pandemic to the nationwide protests, employee concerns have been shifting.

While we may all be living in unpredictable times, you can offer your staff some certainty through workplace transparency.

Opening up

As offices reopen, companies should also open up about the workplace. CareerArc's VP of HR Debora Roland suggests focusing on the following topics to promote a culture of transparency:

1. State of the business . It's no secret the workplace has experienced big changes since the outbreak of the virus. Whether you plan to reopen or continue remote work, make it clear to your employees so they may plan ahead. If your offices never closed, you can provide updates about the safety measures at work and survey staff preferences. Let them play a part in the decision-making process.

2. Your company's stance . In this day and age, it can come across as out of touch for companies to stay silent about social issues. Some ideas relevant to the social climate would be to analyze your staff demographic and locate any potential areas of hiring bias or even start a book club to spark conversations about major issues.

3. Layoffs and terminations . During an already difficult time, it's important to be compassionate when handling adverse employment decisions. If it comes down to it, employers should be honest with the entire workplace about their decision and support the affected employees on their way out. Doing so will not only preserve a positive relationship, but also prevent any negative, morale-breaking gossip between the retained workers.

Google has barred the world's second biggest smartphone maker, Huawei, from some updates to the Android operating system, dealing a blow to the Chinese company.

New designs of Huawei smartphones are set to lose access to some Google apps.

The move comes after the Trump administration added Huawei to a list of companies that American firms cannot trade with unless they have a licence.

Google said it was "complying with the order and reviewing the implications".

Huawei said it would continue to provide security updates and after-sales services to all existing Huawei and Honor smartphone and tablet products, covering those that have been sold or are still in stock globally.

"We will continue to build a safe and sustainable software ecosystem, in order to provide the best experience for all users globally," it added.

In a press briefing, China said it "supports the relevant company [Huawei] to defend its legitimate rights according to law".

Existing Huawei smartphone users will be able to update apps and push through security fixes, as well as update Google Play services.

But when Google launches the next version of Android later this year, it may not be available on Huawei devices.

Future Huawei devices may no longer have apps such as YouTube and Maps.

Huawei can still use the version of the Android operating system available through an open source licence.

Ben Wood, from the CCS Insight consultancy, said the move by Google would have "big implications for Huawei's consumer business".

UK mobile trade body Mobile UK said it was "working closely with relevant authorities to understand the implications of the US Department of Commerce's placement of Huawei on its Entity List."

Last Wednesday, the Trump administration added Huawei to its " entity list", which bans the company from acquiring technology from US firms without government approval.

In his first comments since the firm was placed on the list, Huawei chief executive Ren Zhengfei told Japanese media on Saturday: "We have already been preparing for this."

He said the firm, which buys about $67bn (£52.6bn) worth of components each year according to the Nikkei business newspaper, would push ahead with developing its own parts.

Huawei faces a growing backlash from Western countries, led by the US, over possible risks posed by using its products in next-generation 5G mobile networks.

Several countries have raised concerns that Huawei equipment could be used by China for surveillance, allegations the company has vehemently denied.

Huawei has said its work does not pose any threats and that it is independent from the Chinese government.

However, some countries have blocked telecoms companies from using Huawei products in 5G mobile networks.

So far the UK has held back from any formal ban.

"Huawei has been working hard on developing its own App Gallery and other software assets in a similar manner to its work on chipset solutions. There is little doubt these efforts are part of its desire to control its own destiny," said Mr Wood.

What are other companies saying?

US chipmakers including Intel, Qualcomm and Broadcom are reported to have told their workers they will stop supplying Huawei, according to Bloomberg.

Intel would not to comment to the BBC.

Rosenblatt Securities analyst Ryan Koontz said Huawei would be "seriously crippled" if it did not have these "key US components", although the Chinese firm is believed to have stockpiles in place.

California-based Xilinx said it was aware of the order by the Trump administration and was "co-operating" but had nothing to add.

Outside the US, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is continuing to deliver to Huawei.

The Nikkei reported that TSMC had said it owned a "complicated and sophisticated export control compliance system" and "based on the data in the system we are not changing our shipping practice for the time being".

Short-term damage for Huawei?

By Leo Kelion, BBC Technology desk editor

In the short term, this could be very damaging for Huawei in the West.

Smartphone shoppers would not want an Android phone that lacked access to Google's Play Store, its virtual assistant or security updates, assuming these are among the services that would be pulled.

In the longer term, though, this might give smartphone vendors in general a reason to seriously consider the need for a viable alternative to Google's operating system, particularly at a time that the search giant is trying to push its own Pixel brand at their expense.

As far as Huawei is concerned, it appears to have prepared for the eventuality of being cut off from American know-how.

Its smartphones are already powered by its own proprietary processors, and earlier this year its consumer devices chief told German newspaper Die Welt that "we have prepared our own operating systems - that's our plan B".

Even so, this move could knock its ambition to overtake Samsung and become the bestselling smartphone brand in 2020 seriously off course.

The latest move against Huawei marks an escalation in tensions between the firm and the US.

The company is facing almost two dozen criminal charges filed by US authorities. Washington is also seeking the extradition of Huawei executive Meng Wangzou from Canada, where she was arrested in December at the behest of American officials.

It comes as trade tensions between the US and China also appear to be rising.

The world's two largest economies have been locked in a bruising trade battle for the past year that has seen tariffs imposed on billions of dollars worth of one another's goods.

Earlier this month, Washington more than doubled tariffs on $200bn of Chinese goods, prompting Beijing to retaliate with its own tariff hikes on US products.

The move surprised some - and rattled global markets - as the situation had seemed to be nearing a conclusion.

The US-China trade war has weighed on the global economy over the past year and created uncertainty for businesses and consumers.

Many people use these words interchangeably; there is really very little difference between them. In everyday spoken English, the most common word is goal. Aim and objective are usually used in more formal writing.

One small difference is that an objective is more specific than a goal, for example:

Our goal is to improve health care for children.
general

Our objective is to provide 10,000 children with vaccines.
specific

However, in casual conversation, most people would use goal for both general and specific things:

My goal is to lose weight.

My goal is to lose 20 pounds by the summer.

The words goal and objective are nouns, and the word aim can be a noun or a verb:

The aim of this project is to increase our students’ motivation.
aim = noun

We’re aiming to increase our students’ motivation.
aim = verb
