Business Report. Thank you for joining us. I'm Rico Hizon. It's a | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
Tuesday. US markets ending flights overnight after some initial selling | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
in reaction to President Trump's failed effort to overturn Obamacare. | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
President Trump is expected to sign an executive order today that would | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
dismantle environmental regulations put in place by his predecessor. His | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
controversial move highlights achievements between the Donald | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
Trump administration and climate change. Michelle Fleury was asked | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
what we know about this executive order. Donald Trump is trying to | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
make good on a promise, and that is to undo Barack Obama's climate push. | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
He wants to focus on something called the Clean Power Plan which | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
restricted greenhouse gas emissions from coal fired power plants. That | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
is where it a significant amount of emissions come from in America. This | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
rule, to give context, was targeted by Republicans, and they called it a | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
jocular and overreach by Barack Obama. -- job killer. We should not | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
be surprised it is on the chopping block. There is talk on a moratorium | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
on coal mining on Federal land. That is expected to be reversed. You may | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
recall that the president wanted to restore jobs in the coal industry | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
during his campaign. There is doubt over whether this would achieve | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
that. What about cultural implications over the new executive | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
order? If you are talking about the coal power plant for, example, a way | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
that America was going to meet the climate agreement, an agreement on | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
trying to address climate change. What this executive order does, | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
though we are not sure whether it will mention the Paris climate | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
agreement, is it signals that fighting by no change is not a | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
priority for this administration. That certainly America first applies | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
more to the economy than it does to climate change. Michelle Fleury in | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
New York. Future trade relations between China and the Donald Trump | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
administration may be uncertain, but it is not stopping some carriers | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
from charting new territory on the mainland. American Airlines could | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
take a stake in the state-owned airline. Earlier, I took them I | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
talked to break from Flight Global and asked him why they were | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
interested in China. -- Greg. This follows a pattern we have seen | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
recently. United airlines is interested in Beijing. There was a | :03:29. | :03:37. | |
small stake taken in China Eastern in Shanghai. They want to improve | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
their China access. They will take a small stake similar to what Delta | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
did with China Eastern. Could be see US carriers increasing holdings and | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
shareholdings in Chinese mainlands? That is contingent to open skies | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
agreements forming between the United States and China. If you see | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
that, you can see these carriers working more closely together. You | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
might see some code-sharing. If this deal goes through between China | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
Airlines and American Airlines. Unless they can have a joint | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
venture, they will not be able to talk about price scheduling and | :04:24. | :04:40. | |
other key things. If you see an increase in stakes in China, could | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
this impact the likes of Cathay Pacific, Chinese carriers having a | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
stake in the Hong Kong carrier? Hong Kong Airlines has a large | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
codesharing deal with Cathay. If you see American Airlines trying to | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
shift some of that traffic to China Southern and a stronger relationship | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
between China Southern and Cathay, major competitors, I cannot imagine | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Cathay will be happy with that. In other news, Korean technology giant | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Samsung has revealed plans to sell refurbished versions of the Galaxy | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
Note smartphones pulled from the markets due to battery issues. They | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
took a huge hit over the trouble from the Note seven. Samsung said it | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
will choose which markets to sell them after discussions with red Tory | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
authorities and airlines. -- regulatory. Brazil's administration | :05:42. | :05:53. | |
has ordered three more meatpacking and processing facilities to close, | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
bringing it up to six, after risks of contamination. Import suspensions | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
were lifted recently, though they are still in place in Europe and | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
Hong Kong. Well, you have to have an iron stomach to succeed in the | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
restaurant business in the Philippines. Robert runs the largest | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
company in the country and is branching out to other countries in | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
the world. As part of Two Minutes With, I spoke to their CEO to ask | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
them how they stay ahead of the competition? With many competitors | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
bringing up walls and other areas, a lot of inflow of remittances which | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
we use increases the market. People who could not afford our food before | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
can now. That is why we have expanded aggressively. But, Robert, | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
it is extremely competitive in the Philippines. Every week there is a | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
new franchise to be how do you stay ahead of the curve? We have 70 plus | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
years of experience and have very good brands under our portfolio. | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
With that leverage you get all the great spots in malls and other | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
areas. When you have been there proving yourself time and time | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
again, it will also be a repeat of other loyal customers. They will all | :07:17. | :07:20. | |

will you achieve this? We showcase and bring our brands all over the | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
world. The difference with the Maxis Group is we have the portfolio, | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
pizza, chicken, pancakes, and Japanese food. We have a lot of | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
variety to bring towards the international market. Robert, you | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
are a successful businessman in the Philippines. What implications of | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
the policies of Rodrigo Duterte have on this? The business fundamentals | :08:01. | :08:11. | |
are intact We are looking at a 6.5- 7.5 projected growth for 2017. High | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
consumer spending is still there. We are in the right area and I think | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
this will help us grow our business more. And that is our two minutes | :08:22. | :08:32. | |
with Robert, CEO of Maxis Group in the Philippines. In the future, many | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
jobs carried out by humans will instead be looked after by robots. | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
In San Francisco, a glimpse of the future is on show, where a robot | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
barista is turning heads. Let us take a look. ELECTRONIC MUSIC. | :08:43. | :10:02. | |
Before we go, a quick look at the markets. Asian stocks are positive | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
territory in early Tuesday training despite the Dow Jones industrial | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
average falling for the eighth consecutive session. The Tokyo | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
