Today business leaders face a fresh warning over

A leading financial services industry group

headed by Barclays chairman John McFarlane says advances

in technology are creating new pathways for criminals.

The taskforce has recommended that businesses receive tax

breaks to help improve cyber-security and that

more support is given to businesses in the form

The guidelines also call for greater collaboration between policy-makers,

businesses and the police in tackling the problem of cybercrime.

Some analysts predict the global cost will reach

$2 trillion by the end of the decade.

To put this in perspective, that's more than the value

Dr Jessica Barker, a cyber-security consultant at JL

That $2 trillion figure is a scary one. It is not our business is not

taking this seriously but that the technology outpaces how quickly they

can respond? Yes, criminals are becoming more sophisticated and more

aware that they can carry out crime online, and we have legacy problems

with old IT systems and a lot of the issues are around human nature and

how we engage with the Internet. I wanted to ask you that, where is the

weak link in the chain? Is it IT systems or is it us, the people in

organisations that are the problem? It is how we engage with technology,

it is said that up to 95% of cyber attacks are down to human error so

there are all sorts of things we can do in raising awareness and change

in behaviour when we use the Internet. A relatively new word that

has come about of late, we are used to spam attacks and phishing attacks

but what is spear-phishing? It is phishing but the criminals will have

done their research in a way of seeing how they can have the most

effect. Let's talk about what you can do, or not only do get these

e-mails but what business can be looking at, and it is a ground up

approach? It is, the check list in the report released today is

helpful. I would say organisations need to understand what information

they have, what is of value to them and what would be of value to an

attacker, and then looking at how they could take care of that

information and really thinking about the human elements, how are

you training of staff, building a positive and empowering culture

around cyber-security. It is about the value of the information that an

organisation has, they might not think it is valuable, it is just how

they operate, but in the wrong hands it could be lucrative, but hugely

damaging for the business? Absolutely, when we work with

information every day we become desensitised to the value of it so

it is worth taking a step back and considering what information you

have, it it was lost or stolen or no longer available to your business

what would the crucial information be that would be the most damaging,

and what would damage your reputation? Very sobering stuff.

Jessica Barker, thank you very much. US drugs giant Pfizer will acquire

the maker of a new eczema treatment The firm announced a deal

with the board of California-based It comes weeks after Pfizer

abandoned a $160bn merger with Irish The world's biggest bank

is buying a massive vault in London to boost its gold

and precious metals business. The Industrial and Commercial Bank

of China will be the first Chinese It's unsurprisingly in a secret

location and can hold up to 2,000 metric tons of gold,

silver and platinum. Lorry drivers are expected to put

up roadblocks around France's major cities,

and unions are calling for a strike Its all aimed at rejecting measures

to loosen the country's The disruptions have been prompted

by the government's decision last week to use a special measure

to pass the legislation A quick look at the live page, and

this is quite apt, this story has come through about Twitter that it

is to stop counting photos and links in it 140 character limit. Many

people get frustrated by how little they can write on Twitter sometimes,

when you add a photograph it takes pressures characters away from you

but apparently that will no lover be the case, that is to be removed from

the limits. A quick spin through there, this is Anya Hindmarsh and we

will be speaking to later in the programme, we will be speaking to

her about this because she is one of 40 leading business figures speaking

at an event today as part of a plan to share knowledge and information

they have learned in their career to a new generation of entrepreneurs,

so we will speak with her later in the programme.

That get more detail on that story we have just mentioned.

It's already the world's biggest bank but it's

China's ICBC has agreed to buy a massive vault

in London that stores gold, silver and platinum.

We said we don't know where it is, for good reason, but what more do we

know? What we know is that it is within

the M25 motorway which circles London, so you take a guess, that

could be anywhere! It is being sold by Barclays and can hold up to 2000

metric tonnes of gold, silver, platinum and palladium. What we know

is that it is one of the largest faults in Europe, and it will give

ICBC a lot more influence over the pricing and storage of precious

metals. China accounts for more than a quarter of global gold demand but

trading of the yellow metal really is centred still out of London and

New York. We don't really have financial details but the deal is

expected to be completed in July and we have heard from ICBC, who have

been saying that the purchase would help them to better executed their

strategy to become one of the largest Chinese banks in the

precious metals market. Thank you so much. It is like the

Hollywood movie, how to find that fault, not quite Hatton Garden,

whole different story. Let's look at the market across Asia

today. A strong day for Japan and Hong Kong, a lot of that to do with

the fact that the oil price has been edging higher and higher, almost $50

a barrel for Brent Crude, when it hits we will let you know. The night

before on Wall Street there, always bodes well for a better day in Asia.

Gained across the board in Europe, energy stocks doing well but

corporate news helping markets. In London, Vodafone opening fire,

something like 2.3%, coming out with its latest earnings news showing a

return to revenue growth in Europe. What is ahead in the US?

After a tepid start of the year, how is the US economy faring? Three

economic reports should shed some light, one of them is the labour's

department release of the consumer Price index which should show if

prices fell all roads in April. Most economists expect the cost of living

has gone up given that oil prices have been recovering, a sign perhaps

that inflation may be moving closer to the Federal Reserve's goal. A

separate report from the Federal reserve may show that production

rose in April, evidence that the slump in Manufacturing is over. And

a key driver of economic growth is the housing market, also a powerful

signal of consumer Centre meant. The commerce Department will provide the

latest update with a report on housing starts for April, have they

picked up after falling in March? We will find out bust up

Joining us is Manji Cheto, an analyst bust up for the global

let's talk oil, it is one of those things we have discussed before,

prices coming down, they are creeping up steadily, rising, we

were talking about $40 a barrel, not a huge rise but it has been

consistent? For me, the big thing is, does

anyone know where it is going to go and how long? If you look at the oil

futures, they suggest we are on the rise of a rise, and that option has

come primarily from Nigeria and Venezuela, and to an extent Canada.

For the next two months we might see oil prices continued to rebound but

I'm not sure it is a long-term storage. Fill us in our Nigeria in

particular because tomorrow we have been told there could be a general

strike, people 60 about petrol prices going higher, queueing for

petrol. The interesting thing is the strike has been triggered by the

fact that oil prices have been rising and therefore the Government

has had to hike oil prices because Nigeria import all of its refined

crude, so what is interesting is the Government is in a position where it

might have to read trace, it might not have to capitulate to union

demands because all opera this will continue to go up because of the

disruptions in Nigeria. Time is against us but you will talk us

through some stories later including top excuses from bosses as to why

their results are not good. Still to come,

sharing the knowledge! The founder of one of the world's

most iconic accessories brands, Anya Hindmarch,

is here and she wants to share what she's learned with

a new generation of entrepreneurs. You're with Business Live from BBC

News. Britain's biggest banks will have

to limit unauthorised overdraft fees and join a price-comparison website

to give customers better service. Those are the findings

of an 18-month investigation into our high street

banks. It found the majority

of customers didn't know if they were getting good value

for money from their banks, with most staying with the same

lender for over a decade. Alisdair Smith is chairman

of the Retail Banking Investigation Panel at the Competition

and Markets Authority. We have put forward a wide-ranging

packet of resolutions but the core is in crew think the quality of

information that bank customers get about their banks so that finding

out what is the best bank for you should become as easy as finding out

the best local restaurant. The kind of technology that drives smartphone

apps is being developed for banking and consumers will get much better

quality information to enable them to make good decisions. It is about

those decisions that we simply are not making at the moment, staggering

numbers of us sticking with the same provider, especially when it comes

to things like small business, you take a loan from the same bank that

gives you your current account, it is not competitive enough and it is

difficult to move around the banking industry, is it not? It is, and

particularly for small businesses because their own bank knows them

well and it is hard for them to find out what other banks can offer, so

we are very keen to open up information sources not just for

personal customers but for small and medium-sized businesses as well.

Thank you so much for joining us. Our top story, the new measures

needed to defend against hackers and other cyber-security threats

as businesses struggle to keep up The cost of cyber-crime is expected

to hit $2 trillion by 2019. What does the luxury goods market

tell us about the state The recent slowdown in China has hit

many luxury brands including They've traditionally relied

on markets like China to prop up The consulting firm Bain says sales

of "personal" luxury goods which include watches,

clothing and leather goods were worth $285 billion last year

and one person who knows the market She started off by importing a small

number of handbags from Italy, but now her brand appears

in department stores The company is known

for its handbags and accessories and counts the Duchess

of Cambridge among its fans. The brand's founder Anya Hindmarch

joins us in the studio. She's currently the chief creative

officer of the company. Nice to see you, welcome. Let's

start with how you began. It is an interesting tale. It is about

importing bags and you realised they were in demand. You sold them to a

department store and it took off from there. We made it sound simple.

Business is quite simple actually. I was 18 and the joy of being so

young, you just don't have any, you're risk happy and you just kind

of get going and that first step in business is the really important one

and I think people often are quite nervous about word entrepreneur, but

you just need to get going really. I was in Florence for two months and I

saw a bag that I thought would sell really well in the UK and I

approached a factory and I made sample and I started designing and

we opened stores and sold to stores. Here we are all these years later.

How receptive were the big department stores to you and the

leading fashion magazines that you approached as well? Well, I think if

you have a good product, they are receptive, you have to be tee anyway

shoulds to knock on their door and get an appointment, but it is

do-able. If you have a good idea and you're determined you can make it

work. What's been the biggest lesson for you in business? You said it is

very simple, it is just going out there and taking risks. Is there

anything that went not as you planned? I liken business to

sailing. You take a bit left and you take a bit right. Tomorrow, we have

43 of the most interesting entrepreneurs at 6pm talking from

Glasgow down to Brighton so we're excited about that and the idea is

to share the stories and talk about the highs, the lows, so I think I

would be very excited to encourage people to enjoy the benefit and the

positives of having your own business, being in control. This

event you are talking about is called Entrepreneurs Exchange which

is happening tomorrow. It has not happened before, I understand, it is

a brand-new event. I said earlier we found many young entrepreneurs talk

about the fact it is not as easy to set-up in the UK as it is on the

other side of the Atlantic for example? Actually, no, I think it is

a really great place to start a business, the UK. It is

geographically really well placed and we have a stable set of laws and

currencies and it is a good place to be supported. I was very supported

and there are lots of grants and things that you can get help with.

It is a great place to be and I think that actually most of the time

that the biggest thing is you need the advice, you need the mentorship.

This is like a group mentoring project tomorrow. We have got nearly

3,000 people signed up. There are very few places left if people check

on website, but it will be a really important moment. It is a one off,

but it might continue. You talk about getting grants and funding,

did you get that moral support, someone who hold your hand in a big

decisions, going to big department stores and saying, "Look, take my

product." It is a dawning thing to do when you are just setting out in

business. Was there anyone there to give thaw support that you're

offering other people? I have come from a family of business people. I

have a huge support network like that, but I think actually people

really do need to find often actually a local group of

entrepreneurs who you can meet once a month and share the same dilemmas,

because whatever industry you're in, it might be talent retention or

issues about access to markets or whatever it is and the more you

share and support each other, the more likelihood you have for

success. Talking of access to markets, you have been successful in

accessing Asia which is the place to be right now if you're selling

luxury goods. Talk us through that because it was a long journey, you

were there quite early which is a good thing I assume? I'm excited

about ash yasmt people are scared about exports and scared about

overseas, it is not a big deal truly. You know, the great thing

about having a website you export automatically without realising it,

you get orders all the time. Our first ever ground floor store was in

hong don'ting and we have stores in Japan and in Malaysia and Singapore

and so on, so on. It is a very exciting time. In terms of your

stores, it is a mixture, isn't it? You don't have your high street shop

as it were, you are a mix, depending on where you are and which country

you're in? You have stores. Some might be stores you control

yourself. Some markets you need to have a local partner and other times

you have a store within a department store so there is a mix and then you

might wholesale and sell to the department stores there. So that mix

is a healthy one to have. We have asked everyone about their view on

Brexit, the EU referendum, it is hard to get away from. Would an in

or an out vote make a difference? I'm not going to go there this

morning. I think I really want to focus on entrepreneurs today. It is

a really important decision, I have been quite public about my views,

but I will save that for another time if I may. Thank you for coming

in. Thank you. The boss of one of the world's

biggest oil companies has warned of more volatility ahead

on global markets. Patrick Pouyanne told the BBC

that there was no top or bottom He said the solution

instead was for big oil Last year, his company

did just that, making The BBC's John Moylan spoke to him

about the future of North Sea, a region that has been providing oil

for Britain for decades. Oil and gas have a future. But there

is a cycle, when the price went down dramatically, 130 today's $30.

Everyone is managing the cash cautiously and global investments,

globally speaking not only in the North Sea have been driven down to

$400 billion. So the North Sea is more mature. So that's clear a That

we need to be probably smarter on the cost management here, but there

is a future for the North Sea. That was the boss of Total there

speaking to John Moylan. We asked how you greet your

co-workers. There is an Austrian entra praners greeting Brits outside

King's Cross Station in London with a hug. Many of you getting in touch.

One viewer says hugs provide better stimulus, I am all for hugs, but

perhaps you wouldn't hug your boss. Well, maybe you could start! A

viewer got in touch from Italy and says it depends on the nature of the

relationship. Two kisses because I am Italian. This is where the big

sort of social divide comes in actually. Europeans, a lot more

touchy, feely, a lot more close shall we say? A fist pump! If you're

American. What about you? I'm touchy, feely. I

do a lot of work in Africa were a lot of people were touchy feely

until the Ebola outbreak. It has its consequences. This is about company

bosses who every time we talk about results, there is an excuse. Profits

rose by 2%. It was because of the warm weather, the cold weather, any

million excuses, the wrong weather, about not getting right stuff in the

right stores at the right time. The Wall Street Journal, corporate

excuses are bound in tough times, what have you found? For me, you

know, in the UK weather is always a good excuse, isn't it? The weather

is all really bad and you can blame that on your bad sales! I think a

lot of analysts are saying if you know that the weather is already bad

you should be factoring that into your decision making, but what

manager is going to stand up and say the reason why we had bad sales is

because we had a really bad strategy this year, they are not going to say

that, are they? I don't think the excuses are going to go away and if

you are in Britain, the weather is a good one. It depends what the

company does. Retailers, to be fair the weather affects what we buy and

went we buy it. You are not going to buy the barbecue stuff. We didn't

turn on the gas or we turned off the power. We starting to see through

some of the excuses. That's all I'm saying. An interesting picture of

President Putin. Morgan Stanley, things will only get worse for

Russia's battered economy. Morgan Stanley based that judgement because

of energy prices, but if we talked about energy prices and oil prices

going up, does that mean the Russian economy is rebounding? Certainly sh

that's what Putin will be welcoming, but I think, yeah, I'm not sure that

I am that pessimistic on the Russia economy. It is a story dictated

hugely by oil and gas. There is little else for international

investors to pin their hopes on, is there? Yeah. There is the question

of sanctions. Russia, which I'm not sure sure the sanctions are going to

be lifted unless the Syria talks, Russia is seen as constructive and

then the questions of sanctions will start going away. Brilliant. Really

nice to see you. Thank you for explaining that. That's it from us.

Share a hug with someone. We will see you soon.
