This is Business Live from BBC News with Aaron Heslehurst and Ben Bland. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Will US airlines reach new heights under President Trump? | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Their bosses land at the White House with concerns over fast-growing Gulf | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Live from London, that's our top story on Thursday 9th February. | :00:18. | :00:39. | |
The President who used to run his own airline but failed - | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
says he wants the bosses of US carriers to "buy American | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
and hire American", but what can he to do help them? | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
The little blue bird will tell us how much money's it's making | :00:50. | :01:02. | |
or losing later today, but will Twitter get a big boost | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
And, as always, we'll bring you the latest on the markets | :01:05. | :01:13. | |
and tell you why today's driver is not a Trump on or | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
And we'll be getting a rather colourful inside track today. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
The boss of one of the world's biggest paint firms ColArt will give | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
us the brush strokes on how he's trying to make the environment | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
And buyers pushed up shares in Snap Interactive, | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
a little-known US start-up, mistaking it for Snapchat. | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
So today we want to know, what's the most expensive | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
Let us know - just use the hashtag #BBCBizLive. | :01:34. | :01:49. | |
Then, if you use any more puns today, we are going to shoot you! | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
We start in Washington where the bosses of America's top | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
airlines and airports are due to meet President Trump | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
There are some major issues on the table that could affect | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
As we know from his inauguration speech, | :02:05. | :02:13. | |
Mr Trump said he would follow two simple rules - "Buy American | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
That could mean a major boost for plane-maker Boeing, | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
if he leans on US airlines to buy from them. | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
European rival Airbus also operates factories in the US | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
and buys billions of dollars worth of US components like engines. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
Airbus claims to support 245,000 US jobs. | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
Then there's the issue of foreign airlines operating in the US. | :02:49. | :02:57. | |
This one, Norwegian, was given a foreign carrier licence, | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
allowing them to expand their routes to and from the US - | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
it was one of the last acts of the Obama administration. | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
It caused howls of protest from US airlines and aviation unions. | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Again there's another side to it - Norwegian says it is creating | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
at least 150 new US jobs and has ordered more | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
than $18 billion worth of jets from Boeing. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
So what about the whole question of open skies, | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
the deals that mean countries open their routes to each other? | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
The US currently has 120 open skies agreements. | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
US airline bosses are particularly unhappy about the expansion | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
of Emirates, Etihad Airways, and Qatar Airways in the US. | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
Last week they wrote to the government claiming Gulf | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
carriers have received $50 billion in handouts from their governments | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
over the past decade - something the Gulf airlines deny. | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
The President of Emirates has long argued that an attack | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
on their business by Washington would only damage the US economy. | :04:17. | :04:24. | |
Well, Norman Gage is an Airline industry analyst | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
He joins us live down the line now. Norman, this conversation happening | :04:27. | :04:37. | |
between the airlines and President Trump, what could be the potential | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
impact of it on people like you and I, passengers, and for the flights | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
that we want to get and book? I'm not sure it will have too much | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
effect on you and I because it is really affecting inbound flights to | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
America from the home bases of these particular airlines. Those airlines, | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
through their home bases, act as a hub and therefore draw in people | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
from the far east and from Africa to transfer and then fly on to America. | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
So you and I, I'm not too sure it will have a great impact. In that | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
case, then, there is the long-running competition between | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Boeing and Airbus, presumably Boeing will be pushing very hard to ride on | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
the back of Donald Trump's ambitions for by American, higher American. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
What could that potentially do to the balance between the two major | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
players? I think it would depend on if they exist, but I think a lot of | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
the fleet order from these airlines has already been placed, so to | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
cancel those would cost a lot of money, to purchase American, they | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
would have to say, OK, if we are denied landing rights everywhere | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
that we want to fly to under the bilateral agreement, if that gets | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
torn up, then we have to reassess where those aircraft are positioned. | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
But to suddenly switch from Airbus to Boeing can take a number of years | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
and therefore may not be physically or financially viable. We have also | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
missed out as well be Iran situation. Iran air, I believe, were | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
going to be a massive purchaser of aircraft and have turned to Airbus | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
to purchase those. Norman, can I ask, if President Trump gives these | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
airline bosses are supportive ear, these airline bosses have been | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
screaming mad against the likes of Emirates and Etihad, but in | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
particular emirates. If he does give them a supportive ear and looks at, | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
I don't know, maybe looking again at the open skies agreement, there | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
could be huge ramifications for the global aviation industry? Yes, there | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
could be, but then you also have to look at how many new people are | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
these airlines lifting and taking to America, first-time riders. A lot of | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
the routes that emirates have been developing into Florida, leisure | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
destinations, so the implications go beyond the airlines. Changing the | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
subject slightly, one of the things that Trump could be smoothing over | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
with the airlines is to keep down the price of oil. His economic | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
policies and some of his appointments seem to drive the push | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
to keep drilling and pumping, so if they can keep the price of oil below | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
$50 per barrel, the airlines will be making good profits and all of this | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
other noise just is noise. Norman, thank you very much, good to get | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
your thoughts. Did you know that President Trump | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
used to run his own airline? I did, because I was listening when | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
you told me! I do pay attention! That is how you | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
become a millionaire, by running an ally. He started off as a | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
billionaire! Oh, I see. | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
-- by running an airline. Let's look at some of the news. | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
Democrats have condemned President Donald Trump's tweet | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
attacking a clothing retailer after it dropped a fashion line | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
Mr Trump tweeted that "Ivanka has been treated so unfairly" | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
A Democratic senator called the post "inappropriate" | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
and an ex-White House ethics tsar dubbed it "outrageous". | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
Earlier this month Nordstrom became the fifth retailer to drop | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
the Ivanka Trump clothing line, citing lack of sales. | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
Germany's exports reached a record high last year thanks to stronger | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
demand from other European Union countries as the country | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
recorded its biggest ever trade surplus of $270 billion. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
That was acheived despite a fall in the value of goods sold outside | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
Last week, German Chanellor Angela Merkel was forced to reject comments | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
made by one of President Trump's top business advisers that Germany | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
uses an undervalued euro to exploit trading partners. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
Nissan has reported a 3.5% increase in profit, with sales rising | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
The Japanese carmaker recorded profits of $1.2 billion | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
Meanwhile, a South Korean court has ruled against Nissan, | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
saying that the company had installed an emissions-cheating | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
device in its Qashqai sport utility vehicle. | :09:19. | :09:30. | |
Shares in Toshiba fell more than 12% at one point today. | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
This has been going on for some time. Yes, its memory chip business, | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
let's find out more. Shares ending the day about 7% lower | :09:40. | :09:51. | |
after falling as much as 12%. It has really been nonstop for the company, | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
which is just recovering from that accounting scandal since in December | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
the company said it could face a huge write-down in its US nuclear | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
business next Tuesday, we will find out exactly how much that breakdown | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
is but reports suggest six. In order to raise money, that is why the | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
company is selling its memory chip business, which is making a lot of | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
money for the company, reports have been emerging about who might be | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
interested in that unit, though it seems like all the industry rivals, | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
investment fund. investment fund. | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
Thank you for that, we will talk to you soon. | :10:37. | :10:36. | |
Let's stay with the markets. Most Asian markets climbed | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
to today as investors grew more confident about China, | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
while the dollar slightly firmed in the wake of growing concerns over | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
political instability in Now the Nikkei is down | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
because of a stronger Yen and Japanese investors keen to see | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
how the meeting with PM Abe goes tomorrow in Washington | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
with President Donald Trump. In Europe, the uncertainty that has | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
tainted trading floors for weeks continues to weigh as Donald Trump | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
appears to press on with a protectionist agenda but provides | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
no details on his pledge to ramp up Talking of the US, let's find | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
out what'll be making the biz headlines there today - | :11:18. | :11:29. | |
here she is, here's Samira. The results will certainly take more | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
than 140 characters to get through. That's right, Twitter | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
will be reporting earnings, and it seems measures | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
to control costs are working. Twitter had been looking to try | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
and sell itself over the past few months, but interest from potential | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
buyers eventually waned. Coca-Cola's earnings may be | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
fizzling out somewhat. The continued decline of fizzy | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
drinks have the earnings of the world's largest beverage | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
maker going flat. Even though Coca-Cola has been | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
diversifying away from sugary sodas and into things like coconut | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
and vitamin waters, the moves haven't been enough to offset | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
the slide of sales of sodas. And finally, the owner | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
of the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post will be | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
reporting earnings and the turbulent US elections will be seen | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
as a boost for News Corp, as it brought in more | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
subscribers for its news pages. Joining us is Kathleen Brooks, | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
research director for City Index. Good morning. Can I start on | :12:22. | :12:33. | |
Twitter. Twitter will tell us some numbers later on but five years ago | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
when Facebook went public we all sat here, I sat here with many experts | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
going, Facebook's got to learn how to monetise those users, make money | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
from adverts... Facebook cracked it. Twitter still stumbles. It really | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
does. There are things, these live videos which are expected to... This | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
is a new thing? It is, which could boost expectations, but it hasn't | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
been able to monetise and increase its monthly average users, that has | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
been stagnant, and half of the reason is because there is a lot of | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
trolling and abuse on Twitter which puts people off from even signing | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
up. The old adage that any publicity is good publicity and you cannot get | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
more publicity than the President of the United States using you as a | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
platform to get messages out. Do you think they will benefit from that? | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
From a tweeter in chief?! It'll be interesting, because on their | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
conference call after they announced earnings, they will have to address | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
it, they will be asked about Trump and it has attracted a lot of people | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
to follow him, whether that turns into users we will have see. | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
Switching to Greece, Europe again watching closely, it has not gone | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
away, and you actually told us this, the Greeks by Finance minister Yanis | :13:54. | :14:02. | |
Varoufakis is in the building somewhere! Not on this show! But | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
Greece will be back in the spotlight soon? It has a big debt repayments | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
to pay back in July, tonnes of European election is going on and | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
European governments don't want to do any type of consolidations or | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
anything on their debt, they want them to pay back their debt, get the | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
IMF is going against European authorities and saying, you have to | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
do because there is no way they can grow themselves out of this crisis, | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
you have to reduce the debt you want back, give yourselves a haircut | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
otherwise the debt level will not be sustainable. This has been a problem | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
now for seven years, where they have been not growing very well and in | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
massive amounts of debt. They will never pay that back but because of | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
all the elections in Europe, no-one in Europe wants to say, actually, | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
let's be realistic and cut their debt levels. They all want to say, | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
no, you need to pay us back otherwise we might not get elected | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
in France in May or Germany in September. And if you cut the debt | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
for Greece then you set President... For all the other countries, | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
Portugal, Ireland, the other countries bailed out as. You will | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
come back to take us through the papers, we will see you shortly. | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
We'll talk to the boss of one of the world's biggest paint firms | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
about how he's trying to colour the future of art. | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
I told you, no more pardons! -- puns. | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
You're with Business - live from BBC News. | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
Travel group Thomas Cook have seen a ?200 million increase in revenue, | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
as they have a pretty solid start to the year. | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
But the firm is still struggling with a changing holiday market | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
as demand for holidays - and weak sterling means holiday | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
prices will be up as much as 9% this summer. | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
Simon Calder is travel editor for the Independent. | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
Also for our travel show on the BBC. Good to see you. 9%, more expensive | :16:00. | :16:08. | |
holidays for Brits. Exactly right and that is driven partly because of | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
the sterling effect. Sterling about six for a fifth weaker against the | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
euro and US dollar, but mainly the inferences the cost of hotels in | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
Spain, particularly in the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands, | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
which mean that given the very strong swing we'd seen away from | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
Turkey towards Spain, if you insist on going there, you will be paying | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
quite a lot more. Just been checking out some prices the peak August | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
holidays. The lowest I can find to Lanzarote, one of the beautiful | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
Canary Islands, is about $600 per person, and in Turkey the same sort | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
of distance, same sort of holiday, $500. The chief executive of the | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
Thomas cut group said sales were doing well in Cyprus, Portugal, | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
Croatia and Bulgaria but he also said, and this may be will help out | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
those Greek finance people, that demand for Greece has increased by | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
more than 50%. The slump in Turkey continues and Egypt is picking up | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
just a little bit, with more bookings to the red Sea resort of | :17:22. | :17:33. | |
Haugaard. -- Hughada. He answered all the questions! I had a second | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
question but I think you answered it anyway. | :17:38. | :17:44. | |

Live - our top story: President Trump is getting ready | :18:09. | :18:14. | |

from their Gulf rivals The likes of emirates and Qatar. And | :18:17. | :18:36. | |
ageing airports, the infrastructure, because President Trump says he is | :18:37. | :18:37. | |
going to build. That has been his message during the | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
campaign and when he was inaugurated. A quick look at the | :18:43. | :18:43. | |
markets. Take my glasses off so I can see | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
that far! And now let's get the inside track | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
on the business of creativity. ColArt is the parent company behind | :18:55. | :18:57. | |

needs more creativity and more art. Your background is in engineering. | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
Correct. What was the appeal of a paint company, do you paint | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
yourself? Not necessarily, I'm trying. Engineering and then Sony | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
smartphones. That's right. The paint, what it does, how you create | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
beauty and masterpieces that actually tell a story. As an | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
engineer, I love to make things, I love to create things and that is a | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
very obvious link between what I've done at Sony and into one of the | :20:48. | :20:54. | |
most beautiful world market leaders in the fine art industry. We were | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
talking about the countries you sell the product in, 120. Where is the | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
biggest market. The US. That is a big market for you. After your | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
businesses in the US? Revenues wise? Yes. Concerned? About Trump? And | :21:12. | :21:21. | |
closing trade barriers? Yes and no. As a political opinion, yet I'm | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
concerned. But for business, it is a fantastic opportunity. These are | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
times of political and economic instability and people want to | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
express themselves. That is happening in the US and all over the | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
world. Art is a universal language, it brings together. We believe in | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
collaboration collective brainpower. We don't believe isolation, which is | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
in the US, is a good thing. We are being told to wrap it up. I want to | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
squeeze this a Swedish company based in the UK, operate all around the | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
world. Brexit, do you think it will have an impact? Not for us. We | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
believe we are a global company, we inspire every artist in the world | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
that's what we are here for. Whatever political circumstances | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
will be. We appreciate your time, good luck with everything and the | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
transformation, it wasn't that bad? No! Thank you. | :22:15. | :22:32. | |
Tim Cooke spoke to us earlier about Apple. We have employees who secured | :22:33. | :22:43. | |
a work please, they brought their families to the United States, they | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
happen to be outside the United States when the executive order was | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
and all of a sudden their families split. They couldn't get back in. | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
And arguably that's a crisis. Can you imagine that? Well, what other | :23:01. | :23:11. | |
business stories has the media been taking interesting? Kathleen Brooks | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
is back to discuss them. We have spoken a lot about the Twitter | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
effect. The tweet from President Trump about Nordstrom dropping his | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
daughter's fashion line. Interesting. A father sticking up | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
for his daughter. Nordstrom are trying to say it is for business | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
reasons. But sales did very well so maybe it is politics. He is the | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
president and he shouldn't be pointing out companies. What is | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
interesting is he has pointed out other companies' failings before, | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
and that has caused the share prices to fall dramatically. But | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
Nordstrom's share price rose yesterday and so did other | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
retailers, who may follow suit and drop the Ivanka Trump line. | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
Nordstrom stores tend to be democratic heart lines on both | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
coasts, they may have been anti-Trump WACA and voted in their | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
millions for Hillary and that's not always a bad thing to be picked out | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
by Trump. It is the fifth retailer in the US to have dropped Ivanka | :24:20. | :24:28. | |
fashion line. Yes. He is definitely unconventional in how he operates as | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
president. Unconventional with a capital U. | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
Record numbers of US citizens renouncing their citizenship. | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
Before Trump, we should say. This is not a Trump fact. | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
Quite a sharp rise. It was, and I think this is | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
Americans have decided maybe it was better to drop citizenship rather | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
than pay tax twice. Unlike other countries, in the US they tend to | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
have a global taxation. For example, Boris Johnson on the front here said | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
he would have been liable to $50,000 in tax for how is he sold in | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
Islington and the profits he gained on that but he hasn't lived in the | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
US since he was five years old. But because he was a US citizen back | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
then when he sold the house he would still have been liable. It will be | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
interesting to see this year if we see another rise, based on expats | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
wanting to have nothing to do with the US if they were Democrat | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
supporters and they don't like the political direction the US is going | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
into. In 20 seconds can you tell us the snap story, it's hilarious? It | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
is. Snap interactive, a dating app saw their share price increase | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
because people thought they were Snapchat and this only worth about | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
25 million. Expensive mistake. Kathleen Brooks, always a pleasure. | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
There will be more business news throughout the day | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
on the BBC Live webpage and on World Business Report. | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
Good morning, I'm sure it feels cold enough already but it will be even | :26:02. | :26:14. | |
more cold in the next few days. A classic weather pattern where | :26:15. | :26:15. | |
nothing is moving. | :26:16. | :26:19. |
