This is Business Live from BBC News with Rachel Horne and Sally Bundock. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Paris attempts to romance business away from London | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Live from London, that's our top story on Tuesday | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
Many in the City are sceptical - and think a move to the French | :00:18. | :00:39. | |
Also in the programme - Shares of Netflix surged 20% | :00:40. | :00:45. | |

giant's skyrocketing membership figures. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
European markets are open and trading - | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
and there they are - London, Paris F frankfurt - | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
and there they are - London, Paris, Frankfurt - | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
UK waiting for inflation figures due in an hour - | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
and lots of company news already out and moving the markets. | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
And empowering young people to get an education and start businesses. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
We speak to Lily Lapenna - who's helping to give | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
them the financial means to achieve their goals. | :01:17. | :01:28. | |
We want to know which your ideal city is for work and play. | :01:29. | :01:39. | |
It is no secret that Paris is trying to woo business away from London | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
The campaign has started - here is the poster: | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
Reads the ad that La Defense business district in Paris hopes | :01:52. | :02:01. | |
There are warnings the city of London could lose its position | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
as the only financial capital to rival New York, if foreign banks | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
London currently accounts for 41 percent of global | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
foreign exchange turnover, that is more than double New York - | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
so says the Bank for International Settlements. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
And about 85 percent of Europe's hedge fund assets | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
are managed in London, which also happens to be the leading | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
market for international insurance and re-insurance. | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
With me in the studio is Marie Celie Guillaume, | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
Director of Defacto - and from the city of | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
London, Jasper Lawler - from CMC markets. | :02:38. | :02:49. | |
Good morning. Fork, play on words, is that about the weather or the | :02:50. | :03:01. | |
confusion of Brexit? An element of both. It is using cliches and is a | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
humanistic approach, because Brexit is a very serious matter. We thought | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
it was good to have not too harsh of a campaign and to play on the | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
cliches we have about each other. For centuries French and English | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
have been competing, a long time ago they were fighting against each | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
other and more recently we fought together. It is very important for | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
us to see that. We are close, we love each other, even though... | :03:32. | :03:41. | |
There is a strong bond between the French and the British. Before we | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
bring in Jasper, why do you think Paris has got the edge? Since the | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
referendum result many cities have been talking about why bankers need | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
to go to the city. Why Paris? Paris is the centre of Europe, it is in | :03:58. | :04:09. | |
the middle of Europe, we have a thriving business ecosystem, half of | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
the companies are international, it's a very good place to do | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
business and a very nice place to live in. That's a strong argument | :04:23. | :04:32. | |
because when moving many employees, they will want to think about where | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
they will want to live. Let's move to Jasper. We've heard the arguing | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
for Paris but what is the argument for London? I would question whether | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
London is any less foggy than Paris? I'm not sure if that's true. This | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
argument about jobs moving from London to Paris is problematic for a | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
couple of reasons. I think Paris, whilst being a great city, equally, | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
Frankfurt, Dublin, London just has it all. And so, while Paris might be | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
good in certain areas, we've got to remember London is bringing over | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
people, jobs, not just jobs, people behind those jobs, the culture, the | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
museums, the schools, people send their kids do, these things need to | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
be considered if there is a mass exodus of people taking place. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
Secondly, the whole premise of this is the passport debate, London's | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
access to Europe's tanking centres. That's a big?. It works both ways, | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
European firms use it to access London, London uses it to access | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
European firms. The result of the negotiations is going to be an | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
agreement that works for both until there going to be the need to move | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
the jobs. Jasper makes some good points there. France is known to be | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
notoriously difficult when it comes to Labour laws. Although bankers may | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
move easily, financial services may need to hire in France. Hiring and | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
firing is very difficult there. It puts people off. It is not difficult | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
but it is true that those laws need to be made more flexible. This has | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
already started this year, there was a reform that made it more flexible | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
and there are discussions going on and there is a very strong consensus | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
between the Socialist party that is currently running the government and | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
the Conservatives, we will go to more flexibility concerning higher | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
wages. Think is a much freer time. Thank you for joining us. We | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
appreciate your time this morning. Netflix has shaken off growth | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
worries with new subscriber numbers that beat estimates | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
and sent its shares soaring. The video streaming company added | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
3.2 million international customers in the last three months, | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
far more than the 2 million In the US, numbers rose 21% | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
to 370,000 as hit shows such as Stranger Things and Narcos won | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
over more subscribers. Samsung says it will compensate | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
companies that made parts for the now discontinued | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
Galaxy Note 7. The South Korean tech giant added | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
that it would also look to offer the firms other work | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
to cushion the blow. The Note 7 was recalled last month | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
after battery fires, but when replacement phones | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
experienced the same problem, According to the Reuters news | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
agency, the troubled German finance giant Deutsche Bank has agreed | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
to pay 38 million dollars to settle a silver price-fixing case | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
in the United States. The case is understood to have | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
involved allegations that the bank illegally conspired with other | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
institutions to fix silver prices Another story making the headlines | :07:55. | :08:10. | |
today in Asia is a Chinese company that wants to attract Hollywood. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
Karishma Vaswani is in Singapore tell us more. | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
Nice to see you. Yet another attempt by China's richest man to forge | :08:19. | :08:31. | |
closer ties with US film-makers. After buying over cinema chains, | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
Dalian Wanda is trying to lure Hollywood to China's Soros. It is | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
owned by China's richest man and they will give huge discounts to | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
film at their new studio in Qingdao province. It is thought to be worth | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
$5 billion. It opened its first Studios earlier this month and will | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
be completed in 2018. They've set up a fund to give rebates to movie | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
makers of 14%. The firm is aiming to attract Hollywood directors to | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
China. They have dismissed concerns that this is a takeover of | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Hollywood, instead saying this is an opportunity for American film-makers | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
and should not be seen as competition. Let's have a look at | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
the markets. Stocks in Asia climbed thanks | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
to a rebound in the oil price. Analysts are now thinking the market | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
isn't as oversupplied Investors also eagerly waiting | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
for China's GDP figures In Europe, shares were down | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
yesterday but today. Keep an eye on the FTSE 100. | :09:50. | :10:09. | |
Inflation figures out in less than an hour. | :10:10. | :10:10. | |
And Samira Hussain has the details about what's ahead on Wall Street | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
Yahoo will be reporting figures on Wednesday. Investors will be asking | :10:14. | :10:28. | |
about the huge that breach. Remember Yahoo is being backed by Verizon so | :10:29. | :10:37. | |
investors will be looking for updates on that. Goldman Sachs will | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
be reporting. The Wall Street bank has been cutting jobs and | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
streamlining its business to make up for the low resonant -- low revenue | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
environment banks are experiencing. And as inflation edging towards the | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
Federal reserve's goal of 2%? We will find it later today. | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
Joining us is James Hughes, Chief Market Analyst | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
Were you listening in earlier? London, I would say. I would like to | :11:03. | :11:21. | |
stay. It would take a lot of business movement to make London not | :11:22. | :11:32. | |
the financial capital. We would be talking 50% of the businesses | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
moving. We don't know that Brexit is that bad. | :11:42. | :11:52. | |
Let's move on to net flicks, what is going on with the company? I think | :11:53. | :12:06. | |
this was a big surprise because we expected, the majority of the | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
saturation is in the US and they've spent a few derides of money pushing | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
into every country with high-speed broadband. The have said they will | :12:14. | :12:25. | |
keep moving. Burberry and Ryanair, without warning, but Burberry survey | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
will be -- said they will be boosted by weaker sterling. Absolutely. | :12:31. | :12:39. | |
Burberry are a luxury goods, and only 10% of their sales are UK | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
consumers. A lot of that is international business. People | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
coming over to the UK and spending money in it. You can see why that is | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
positive. People flying away on holiday from within the UK it is not | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
such a good story. Thank you very much. We will be discussing other | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
stories in about five minutes. We'll speak to the founder of | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
an organisation called MyBank that gives micro loans to young people | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
to help them achieve their goals. Now a look at some of the stories | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
from around the UK. Ryanair has cut its profit forecast | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
for the year by 5%. They're blaming | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
the fall in the pound. The airline is saying this is | :13:19. | :13:35. | |
largely due to the drop in the value of sterling since the EU referendum. | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
You might ask, why is an airline based in Ireland so worried about | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
the value of the pound? Quite simple, a lot of the customers are | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
UK based. About a third of the revenues are in sterling. When | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
sterling declines the revenue go down. Look here. This is the last | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
month's share price. You can see the concerns over the value of sterling. | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
They've been weighing on the share price. Don't forget, Ryanair | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
operates in a very competitive market. When you're trying to | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
attract those low-priced customers, Tom petition with the likes of | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
easyJet and problems in the airline market, the holiday market in | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
particular, with the attacks in Turkey and Tunisia, it mounts up, so | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
Ryanair says at the moment the revised guidance applies but if the | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
pound falls farther we could see profits falling farther. That said, | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
they will still be higher than last year. The planes are reasonably | :14:34. | :14:45. | |
full. Let's talk about ASOS, they have had strong results. Revenues | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
are up 26%, they've been doing a lot more sales and profits are up 37%. | :14:51. | :15:00. | |
The reason I mention them is they've taken a 21% hit to settle copyright | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
issue. That aside, they've been doing reasonably well. One of the | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
eerie as -- areas they been doing well is mobile. That is proving | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
productive at the moment. News from Visa. The boss is leaving | :15:18. | :15:35. | |
the company. His family are on one side of America and his job is on | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
the other side and it is too difficult for his work-life balance. | :15:40. | :15:46. | |
He will be replaced by Alfred Kelly. He's a former president of American | :15:47. | :15:47. | |
Express. Our top story, Paris Je T'aime, | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
the French capital attempts to romance business away from London | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
as Brexit negotiations loom. A quick look at how | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
markets are faring. They are all green in Europe. Look | :16:03. | :16:13. | |
at France, up well over a 1%. I wonder if traders are watching our | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
programme and they're buying France today! | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
That's the markets as they stand in Europe. | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
Now, how do you improve financial literacy among young people and help | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
them become the entrepreneurs of the future? | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
Well, one organisation that's been successful in the field is MyBnk. | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
Now, after nine years in business it has reached 150,000 | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
It has a presence in seven countries from France to Uganda. | :16:33. | :16:39. | |
It helps young people with mentoring and financial education | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
MyBnk's founder Lily Lapenna is with us in the studio. | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
She is with us in the studio. Thank you Lily for taking the time join us | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
this morning. Explain to us a bit more about what MyBnk is? Is it a | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
business? Is it a charity or social enterprise? It is a combination of a | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
charity and social enterprise. We earn a lot of revenue through grants | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
and foundation and corporate partnerships, but we are starting to | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
develop a consulting arm out of MyBnk that helps us to leverage | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
everything we've created and sell it on and we also started to charge | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
schools for the services that we provide. What inspired you to do | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
this? I was working in Bangladesh on micro-finance and I came back to the | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
UK and realised that a lot of my friends were leaving university in | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
huge amounts of debt and didn't know what APR was. I left university with | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
a lot of debt and I know for young people today in the UK, because in | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
my day, I could get a Government grant, but that facility is not | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
available. So there are a lot of young people putting off thinking | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
about further education because of the cost? Absolutely. There is a | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
real fear attached to debt. I think one in about a third of young people | :17:57. | :18:04. | |
fear debt over a fear of spiders. A lot of first generation students to | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
go into university, the first generation within their families are | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
struggling with this issue how much will it cost? And how much will I be | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
able to pay this back? We support them through a series of programmes. | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
It really brings to light everything they need to know around their money | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
and their relationship with money throughout and preuniversity. We | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
heard yesterday from the deputy governor of the Bank of England | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
saying there does need to be more financial education in schools. What | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
age are you aiming at? Are you starting young or waiting until | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
people are making the university decision? When are you trying to | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
reach them? We start at the age of 11 and we go up to 25. We work in | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
schools, we work in prisons and we work in youth organisations and what | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
we've really learned is the most important time to intervene is just | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
in time. So just as they are about to make a transition in their life, | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
from primary to secondary, from secondary to an apprenticeship or to | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
university. Or when they get into their first job. We see that there | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
are a lot of issues around starting to go into your first job. All the | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
questions that come up around pensions. Don't you think this | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
include be a part of the curriculum in schools? It is. It is already? To | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
what extent? Look, there are issues around it. All the financial | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
education providers got together and created an all-party group and we | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
got finance into the curriculum. There is not enough Government | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
support going into schools to pay for this. Teachers and schools know | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
it is fundamentally important and it means that organisations like ours | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
are able to go in and access some of those budgets, but we really feel | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
there should be more Government support. Clearly, you're really | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
passionate about this, there is no doubt about it. It is something you | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
kind of started as it were, but when you became a mum, it took more of a | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
back seat or not? How would you describe the change in your role? It | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
became more blended. There were certainly other priorities as well | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
in my life and so I did a, I went down a flexible approach. Guy Rigden | :20:13. | :20:21. | |
joined me. It is something I truly believe works. You get the best of | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
both minds and you know, we were able to have quality time with our | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
families. You've worked across many countries. What has been your | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
biggest success story or a story that's really stuck with you? There | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
are so many wonderful stories. Today, I was reading about some, a | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
young student in Senegal where we have been working who set-up, who | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
took out a small loan and they set-up a head massage company and | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
they were doing this around local markets. It was going so well, they | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
were able to use the profit to build a library for their school. That was | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
a fantastic story. In the UK, we see young people like for example Dan | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
who I refer to often because I got to meet him recently. He had applied | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
for 80 jobs and got no responsement he started to feel there was | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
something really wrong with him. He joined one of our enterprise | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
programmes. Took out a small loan and set-up a project. Was then able | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
to go on site and visit different companies and realise that people | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
working in businesses were not that different to him. He then applied | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
for 12 jobs and got called in, I think, for four interviews and | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
landed his first job, so we were able to turn around his mindset to | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
feeling actually I have a place in the job market. Lily, it is really | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
good to meet you and all the best with MyBnk. A nice positive money | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
story there. All this week, we are hearing | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
the personal stories of workers and entrepreneurs who are driving | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
what's known as the gig economy. Today we're meeting Tim Norton - | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
who despite being was saddled with more than $500,000 debt | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
from two failed companies, now runs a thriving video production | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
platform called 90 seconds. 90 Seconds is a world's Cloud video | :21:52. | :22:13. | |
production platform. It has got a network | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
of video creators all over They are people that can shoot | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
and edit and do graphics and on the other side of the market | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
you've got brands who are making Normally they'd go to | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
production companies, 90 Seconds let's them | :22:28. | :22:39. | |
all do that on the Cloud. It is not as simple | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
as coming and building a technology platform | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
and getting a demand and saying | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
the world is a better place. It is disrupting people's income | :22:53. | :22:54. | |
flow and when you do Our job now how do we make | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
this for everybody? It is something we have to keep | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
asking and it is something James has returned. Tell you some of | :23:01. | :23:14. | |
the viewers views on the Paris-London-Frankfurt debate. Rich, | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
Paris. London is too stressful. I found Frankfurt a little dull. Pat | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
is saying how about Dublin? Are you flying the flag for Dublin? Yes. | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
Nick says, "Frankfurt is the dullest place I have ever been in my life." | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
Another viewer says, "London is rather dull. James, you've said your | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
view. I like Sue's response. She says Paris and London, a mix. Lunch | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
breaks, the week in Paris, home to London with the hubby and the kids | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
at the weekend. Sue, that sounds like a plan. This is interesting, | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
investors seem to think Hillary Clinton really will take on big | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
farmer, ie the big pharmaceutical companies and the stocks are | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
sensitive? It is probably one of the sectors most at risk. Hillary | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
Clinton has been big on her confounding of what the | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
pharmaceutical companies do in something called price gaunlging. | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
When they really ramp the price of a drug up when it is at its most | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
needed to be perfectly honest. Of course the drug companies are one | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
way saying on one side look, this is not, this doesn't help production | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
and investment going forward and making these drugs better, but the | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
big fear is, of course, one area is that the pharmaceutical companies | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
have ploughed millions of dollars into the Hillary Clinton campaign to | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
get her the presidency. So the question has always been, if she | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
does get in, which is looking more likely at the moment. If she does | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
get in, does she actually go after them? Before we move on, it is the | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
next TV debate, Wednesday night, the third and final. Are you staying up | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
for it? I'll be here! I have no choice! Rachel. We heard Apple doing | :25:02. | :25:12. | |
some major lay-office, 1,000 jobs from Project Titan. They have done a | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
handbrake and gone for artificial intelligence in a very public | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
announcement that they have launched a new Director of I, they are trying | :25:24. | :25:33. | |
to get into the AI drive. The only public AI is Siri and has been | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
panned for not being intelligent enough. They're usually secret by | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
their AI and their intelligent robot situation and how much they invest | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
in it and who they have working with it, but this seems to have gone the | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
other way and let everyone know exactly who they're hiring and what | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
they're doing. Interesting. James, it has been good to see you. Steve | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
