police. Now on BBC News all the latest | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
business news live from Singapore. Crisis plan, Thailand's military | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
rulers lay out their strategy to restore investor confidence and keep | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
the economy moving. No catching, could this be the future of computer | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
technology? We go to the biggest tech show in Asia to find out. | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
Welcome to Asia Business Report. Thailand's military rulers announce | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
a series of emergency measures aimed at averting an economic crisis. Two | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
weeks after taking power in a military coup. 30 proposals are | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
being discussed, including a price cut on fuel and an offer of loan | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
guarantees for small businesses. They want to push ahead with | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
infrastructure projects that were stalled under the ousted | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
government. The army says it will act on a backlog of investment | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
applications worth more than $21 billion. Jonathan Head reports. | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
The last time the generals run this country eight years ago, their | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
ham`fisted efforts to manage the economy were derided. This time, | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
they have inherited a shaky economy, compounded by falling | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
confidence, high levels of consumer debt and an unpredictable | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
international environment. Their first measures have been | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
crowdpleaser is. Making overdue payments to rice farmers and cutting | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
the price of cooking gas and diesel fuel. And, the stock market and | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
consumer confidence indices have awarded the two makers with small | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
jumps. TRANSLATION: The new Government should attract more | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
foreigners because right now everyone is afraid to come to | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
Thailand. They should reduce prices of the daily needs we have, money | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
doesn't go as far as it used to. Want immediate reassurance the | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
military has given is to revive the huge infrastructure projects of the | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
government it ousted. This will be one of the main terminals for a | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
massively expanded Metro rail network for Bangkok. The military | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
wants to push ahead with the ousted government's high`speed rail routes | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
and introduce some version of its price support schemes for crops, | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
which is ironic when you think the military coup supporters condemned | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
the government policies as being irresponsible populism. The military | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
will face the same dilemmas as the politicians in the end. How to | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
balance being popular with being financially responsible and how to | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
stimulate investment without also stimulating more corruption. | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
IATA has identified 30 companies that could provide tracking systems | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
to prevent aircraft from going missing. The aviation industry has | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
been scrabbling for a solution since MH370 vanished in March. The body | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
says measures to prevent it happening again could be available | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
in four months. They need to be affordable and comprehensive. We | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
need to fill the gaps in the non` Raid environment. `` we need to | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
track the aircraft where it isn't under surveillance for instance, the | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
polar regions. Their coverage over different parts of the oceanic | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
regions, the Atlantic, the Pacific, over into all of the Indian Ocean | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
region and then there are some regions over landmasses `` | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
non`radar. You have areas of Russia and areas within China. The senior | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
Vice resident for safety and flight operations at IATA. The US is | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
slapping import duties of up to 35% on Chinese made solar panels. The | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
new levies are set to escalate the trade war in the industry that began | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
in 2012. The US commerce Department says solar panel components imported | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
from China are being subsidised in a way that damages American | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
manufacturing. It is claimed that Chinese exporters have been avoiding | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
earlier tariffs by outsourcing the production of sales to countries | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
like Taiwan before assembling them in China. Russia and China plan to | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
set up a joint ratings agency to assess investment project between | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
the countries and to make trade between them easier. The stand`off | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
by Moscow with the west of the Ukraine has made it eager to | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
establish institutions that would reduce its dependence on the US and | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Europe. Google services are disrupted in China ahead of today's | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
anniversary of the 1989 crackdown in Tiananmen Square. In a blog by | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
centre set watchdog rate via .org it is claimed the government has been | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
targeting Google search engines, Gmail and other services as last | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
week. The ruling party has been controlling public discussion of the | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
anniversary, but some activists have been detained. Within 40 years, the | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
world's population will grow by 2 billion people to more than 9 | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
billion. Most of us will live in cities. That means it is crucial to | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
create systems that keep big urban centres running like clockwork with | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
everything from transport and infrastructure to security systems. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
The vice president for security and transportation at the global firm, | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
Callas, and he says talent is a romance with 3 billion cars in the | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
world and travel expected to increase twofold. We have to do | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
something and the challenge will be how to manage innovative services `` | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
Thales. Cutting costs, being more green and environmentally friendly. | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
How easy is that? None of this is unknown. Every government knows they | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
will have to deal with the growing population. The question is, where | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
the growth will be and making sure the services that the growth | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
patches. Is that a complex task? No it isn't. You need to look for quick | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
wins. What we have done in London to increase the capacity of the queue | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
by 23%. We are doing the same in Singapore. What we have done in | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
Brisbane to look at free float holding, with a 70 cents reduction | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
in incidence and eight cutting journey times. `` 70%. Talking about | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
the flow on the tube. How do you increase it? Modern technology. | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
Signalling. We can push the trains closer together, thus putting more | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
trains on the track and improving capacity. Less waiting time at | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
stations. What is the city at the future going to look like? Will it | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
be different from what we know a city to be like today? Absolutely. | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
With that rate of growth. We need to concentrate on connecting the modes | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
of transport we already have. Looking at the data that comes from | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
the systems also. Using that data in intelligent ways. Ensuring we can | :07:19. | :07:27. | |
connect to services. For a citizen, assuming he or she is getting a | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
seamless journey, a personalised journey. More to the point, getting | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
a journey. That is the biggest challenge. Making sure everyone can | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
get to where they need to go Stoneville it with the choice that | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
they won't. Rating news, first`quarter GDP numbers from | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
Australia come into 1.1% of the quarter, 3.5% of the year and that | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
is a little better most economists expected. Is there something you | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
would like your computer you to do that it cannot now do? There is a | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
myriad of innovations on display in Taiwan at Asia's biggest computer | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
and technology show, Computex. Our correspondent takes a look at their | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
gadgets. We are getting a glimpse of the latest trends in technology. | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
They will shape this industry in the coming months. These technologies | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
don't apply only to the office, but the home environment also. With me | :08:22. | :08:32. | |
is Sanjoy. We have a three D camera. We have embedded into the notebook | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
and it has a great advantage. We are sitting in the bedroom and I want to | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
have a meeting, but I don't want everyone to see my bedroom. So, | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
using this technology, I can extract the background and replace it with | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
my work. And, no one can see your messy bed or your kids or anything. | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
In exactly. Tell us what we have here. Lets you are in the kitchen | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
and your cooking and you don't want to do to your computer. What I am | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
going to do is walk up to the computer, put my head in front of it | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
and then, I can move the screen around using my hand. I can pick and | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
menu, open my hand and all of a sudden it will open the page and | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
take me there. White without touching the screen. Yes. I don't | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
have to deal with getting the computer dirty. I can't stand so | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
many cables and wires, do you have a solution? We do we have Intel | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
wireless charging. You can put down a notebook or a tablet or phone on a | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
table like this and it will start charging automatically. This is no | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
ordinary table, is it? We have taken a regular table and put coils on the | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
bottom of it. We have designed a kit that will allow anyone to do that. | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
If you have a wireless charging notebook or a tablet or phone, you | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
can put it on and it will charge those devices as soon as you put it | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
on. I can show you the example of what it does. If you look at the | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
table, it has created a... It is lighting the lights where the charge | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
is quite so you can see where the charge is happening. Just three of a | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
vast array of products that reflect a growing trend of making technology | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
user`friendly and practical for consumers. | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
Now, a quick look at the market. They have opened without much | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
change. Not much of a lead from Wall Street which was marginally weaker | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
overnight. The Nikkei is down. That is it for this addition of Asia | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
