Hello, this is Business Live from BBC News with Susannah Streeter and | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Rachel Horne. Chancellor Merkel makes the case for trade, the German | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
leader is on her way to Washington to meet President Trump with | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
business at the top of their gender. Live from London, that is the top | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
story on Friday the 17th of March. -- their agenda. | :00:25. | :00:39. | |
Will be two leaders be able to overcome the bitter rhetoric on | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
currency valuations and trade deficits? Also in the programme, we | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
sleepwalking into a world of low productivity? We will look at how a | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
lack of sleep could be making the global economy dozy. And other | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
markets dozy this morning? This is the picture in Europe at the open, | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
the FTSE 100 up again following on from a record close once again | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
yesterday. And we will be getting the inside | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
track on what the rising cost of borrowing in the US could mean for | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
the rest of the world, and the car industry's big problems with the | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
testing, business editor Simon Jack will be here to explain all. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
And today we want to know what is stopping you from getting a good | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
night's sleep, and does it affect your work? Let us know on Twitter. | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
We start in the US where President Trump will be hosting | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the White House later. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
The two nations are major trading partners, | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
but there's been growing concern on the US side that their | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
The rhetoric has raised fears of a damaging trade war. | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
Last year, the US sold $49 billion worth of goods to Germany, | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
everything from Boeing airliners to Pfizer medicines. | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
That sounds like a healthy figure until you look at this one, | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
$114 billion was the value of goods Germany sold to the US. | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
not to mention everything from industrial machinery to medicines. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
known as America's trade deficit with Germany, | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
That's a bigger deficit than the US has with Mexico, | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
and in fact any other country except China and Japan. | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
In January, one of President Trump's top | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
of using a "grossly undervalued" euro to "exploit" the US. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Chancellor Merkel rejects the claim and points out the thousands | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
of jobs created by German investment in the US. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
She says she will remind the President that BMW's US plant | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
exports more US-made cars than GM and Ford put together. | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
The bosses of BMW and another huge employer in the US, | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
industrial giant Siemens, will be travelling | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
Julian Howard, head of multi-asset solutions at GAM, is with me. | :03:05. | :03:16. | |
Thank you for coming in this morning, trade is obviously a huge | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
concern here, the German Chancellor and arriving flanked by those big | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
bosses from Siemens and BMW. At one point recently, President Trump | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
threaten to slap a 35% tariff on BMWs coming into the US comedy think | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
it could happen? Not in the short term, but I think Donald Trump is | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
going to need all those top executives. On Wednesday he met with | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
various US auto executives, including the president of Toyota | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
North America, and said, listen, I am giving you a hard time, but you | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
have got to build more plants in the US. There is definitely a push to | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
try and reduce the deficit, try to get more production in the US, and | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Germany does have quite a lot of production in the US, but the profit | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
is booked back in Stuttgart and Munich. What do you think will come | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
out of this meeting? Only two hours and then a working lunch, and it | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
does feel a little bit like the German Chancellor is geared up for a | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
fight, coming with their back-up, because when it comes to trade | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
deficit, she is in a vulnerable position, isn't she? Yes, | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
potentially, but the European story is starting to improve, and the weak | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
euro has been a big problem. Donald Trump has accused her of basically | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
cheating, using that weak euro. It is not our fault, it is the ECB | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
policy on quantitative easing, but the euro are starting to gain ground | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
against the dollar, so if she can buy some time, the problem may start | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
to ease on its own accord. Interesting, with these tariffs, if | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
the US chose to put tariffs on Germany, Angela Merkel cannot | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
respond to that, because it is above her head. This is the advantage the | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
US has when dealing with individual European countries, that he can | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
attack them on a bilateral basis, but they have the river all | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
negotiation up to the European Commission. The US already proposed | :05:12. | :05:20. | |
a bilateral defence deal with Angela Merkel and the Germans, but the | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
response was, that has to be dealt with at the higher level. That is | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
really interesting, the statistic that the BMW plant in the US | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
produces more cars than General Motors and Ford put together, a | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
really good fact for Angela Merkel to put on the table at this meeting, | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
saying, really, you cannot slap tariffs on German goods, because it | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
will harm your jobs if you do so. Yeah, and a German auto industry has | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
a 271 billion euros investment in the US, but like I said, the profit | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
still goes back to Germany. Toyota grasp this back in the 1980s when | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
they started building plans in the US, they are still being called out | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
on this issue. The reality is, unless it is by American and higher | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
American, that is what Donald Trump is getting at. One of these big | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
issues has been, why don't use the American cars on the streets of | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
Germany? One of the reasons for that is self-inflicted. GM has chosen not | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
to market Chevrolet aggressively within Germany, and they have | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
actually sold that whole arm back to the Europeans. So not all of this is | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
within Angela Merkel's control, some of it is at the industry level. | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
Thank you for your time this morning. | :06:31. | :06:30. | |
In other news: Shares in the maker of high-end winter jackets | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
Canada Goose rose 26% on their first day of trading. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
Some of their coats sell for more than a $1,000 | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
$256 million has been raised listing the shares in Canada and New York. | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
That's where animal rights groups protested outside the stock exchange | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
about the company's use of fur including from Coyotes. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
But the company says its fur comes from regulated trappers | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
Pakistan says it's asked Facebook to help investigate | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
"blasphemous content" posted on the social network. | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
Blasphemy is a highly sensitive issue in Pakistan | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
The interior ministry says Facebook has agreed to send a team | :07:08. | :07:17. | |
to Pakistan to address reservations about content on its site. | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
The private equity firm run by the former boss | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
of Barclays Bob Diamond has made an offer to buy the loss-making | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
Mr Diamond will be teaming up with QInvest, | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
an investment bank with ties to Qatari government. | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
QInvest already owns 43% of Panmure Gordon. | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
Hong Kong's troubled flagship airline Cathay Pacific says | :07:44. | :07:44. | |
as part of a major overhaul in the wake of losses. | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
Simon Atkinson is in Singapore for us. | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
This comes off the back of really terrible figures that Cathay brought | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
out this week. That is right, we heard that 2016 had been a terrible | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
year for Cathay Pacific, they lost about $74 million compared to a $6 | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
billion profit the before, and a lot of the reasons for that with things | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
that really are not going to change. Chinese passengers flying directly | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
out of China, rather than through Hong Kong. So these are the first | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
concrete measures from the company about what they will do to try to | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
reduce their costs, and as you say, one of the big things is cutting | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
headcount. We reckon about 1000 jobs could go at headquarters, but that | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
probably will not be enough. This is an airline which is struggling, the | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
hub does not work for Hong Kong as well as it used to, so it will have | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
to do a lot more. OK, Simon, many thanks. | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
So let's take a look at the markets in a little more detail now. | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
Overall in Asia there was a really positive trend, | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
helped by some numbers from Singapore which showed the city | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
state has seen its biggest jump in exports in five years. | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
Although the Nikkei slipped back slightly, | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
the Hang Seng index lifted once again to log weekly gain of 3%. | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
In Europe, there is a little bit of treading water, no wild swings, | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
and remember the FTSE 100 closed at a fresh record high yesterday. | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
In the US, the Dow Jones turned negative at the close. | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
We've talked about Angela Merkel's visit to the US later today. | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
Investors will be watching that meeting closely. | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
about what else is ahead for Wall Street today. | :09:28. | :09:37. | |
Tiffany will be reporting earnings, and they may look available blingy. | :09:38. | :09:47. | |
The upscale jeweller is focusing on new products to revive demand. And | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
it is Saint Patrick's Day, an estimated 33.5 million Irish | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
Americans live in the United States, seven times the population of | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
Ireland. The average reveille will spend about $36 for a total of $5.3 | :10:02. | :10:11. | |
billion. Maybe luck of the Irish be with you! | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
Joining us is a global market strategist | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
You went green for St Patrick's Day! Let's move on, a fresh high on the | :10:21. | :10:32. | |
FTSE, what is driving the market up? It has been having a great few | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
weeks, and few months, given the low pound, remember that it sources | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
around 70% of revenues from abroad, so with a low pound, that makes the | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
exports of these companies more attractive, and those earnings, when | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
you translate them back into sterling, are much higher. That is | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
driving investors to pile into the FTSE 100. In recent days, we have | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
had a rate hike from the US, but still some easy language from the | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
Federal Reserve, so investors are more positive about equities on the | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
whole. Do think the FTSE can keep going up? If it remains about the | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
1.25 mark against the US dollar, and given that we expect Article 50 to | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
be invoked and Brexit negotiations to begin, that rate should remain | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
fairly low for the course of the year. Interesting remarks from | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
Germany's finance buzzed, Wolfgang Schaeuble, about how the City of | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
London retain its crown as a financial centre post-Brexit, and he | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
has made these comments today, the G20 summit day, when they are | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
starting to meet, quite important? It is, the G20 summit as a whole, | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
and these comments Brexit, trade and where financial centres will remain, | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
especially in the larger picture of the Trump administration being | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
anti-trade and the deregulation of financial services, so London will | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
be in a hotspot, thinking about what services can be a main to be located | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
here in London, versus having to be shipped around to the rest of the | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
European Union in the Brexit context, but also generally trade, | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
emerging markets very dependent on global trade, other European | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
countries that rely heavily on exports. How much attention to the | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
market is paid to these big summits, it is all chat and ideas, to the | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
markets listen? Or do they wait for the headlines afterwards? They do | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
listen, it is important when these big economic trends are shifting | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
equity indices and bond indices across the world, but like anything | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
that is more discussion or policy based, we have to wait for something | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
in terms of changes to policy or changes to trade and action. OK, we | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
will have you back for the papers at the end of the programme, we want to | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
know about your sleep patterns! It is hard when you have to get up at | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
3am. Still to come: | :12:57. | :12:57. | |
We'll get the Inside Track on all the big stories of the week | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
with our business editor Simon Jack. You're with Business Live | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
from BBC News. New research published today shows | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
that 4% of UK working adults aged between 18 and 70 are working | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
in the gig economy, that's a labour market characterised | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
by the prevalence of short-term According to the Chartered Institute | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
of Personnel and Development, about 1.3 million people are engaged | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
in gig work and many workers are calling | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
for basic employment rights. Ben Willmott, the Head of Public | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
Policy at the CIPD, joins us now. The thing is, some people want to | :13:28. | :13:45. | |
work flexibly and join the dead economy because of that flexibility | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
that it brings to their lives. -- gig. Others of falls to, and that is | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
where the real is you lies, and where you are campaigning, I | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
suppose. -- others are forced to do. On the positive side, gig economy | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
workers are at least as satisfied with their work as other workers, | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
they are more satisfied in terms of things like flexibility and | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
independence, and most gig economy workers choose to work in the gig | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
economy, so about one in ten say that they are working in the gig | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
economy because they could not get a regular job in the labour market, | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
and most people do so in order to boost their income, rather than rely | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
on income. So that is the sort of positive side. The negative side is | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
we know from our research that many gig economy workers do not know what | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
their employers are, and if they do feel exploited, where they can go to | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
seek redress. And crucially, a lot of gig economy workers, a | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
significant minority say that although they are classified as | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
self-employed, they are actually treated as workers in terms of the | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
level of control. So some people are getting the worst of both worlds in | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
terms of not enjoying the autonomy and independence of self-employment | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
and nor are they getting the rights that they should be getting if they | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
were classified as workers, things like eligibility for national | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
minimum wage, for example. That story is on the BBC Business | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
Live page. Some are forced to and some are | :15:24. | :15:41. | |
making a personal choice. Our top story: Transatlantic trade | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
is at the top of the agenda as Germany's Angela Merkel gets set | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
to meet President Trump The trade balance and currency | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
valuations are likely to be Quite a lot of treading water going | :15:56. | :16:21. | |
on at the moment. The Footsie closed at a record high yesterday. -- FTSE. | :16:22. | :16:33. | |
Let's get the inside track on global interest rates. | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
The US Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest | :16:36. | :16:37. | |
It was just the third time in a decade. | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
Let's get more with our Business Editor, Simon Jack. | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
Take as around the world in interest rates. It is a global thing because | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
this is the cost of borrowing the world's reserve currency, all sorts | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
of things are priced in dollars so it affects the entire world. When we | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
had the rays everybody was expecting that. It is the third time in a | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
decade. Every time they have moved interest rates we have got this is | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
the beginning of the take-off and suddenly it peters out again and | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
watches that yesterday was that the US economy has not strengthened a | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
great deal since the last thing she looked at it. Although she can put | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
it up because inflation is 1.9% and the jobless rate is low, it looks | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
like a normal economy, it is not charging away, so she said maybe | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
there will be another interest rate rise this week, people were | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
factoring three or four a few weeks ago. The stock market got that | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
Donald Trump was going to spend big and cut corporate taxes. She's that | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
might be another one this year. Interest rates do not look as if | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
they are going to shoot up and that is good news for people around the | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
sluggish, wages are not going up. sluggish, wages are not going up. | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
That decision that she has made has a knock-on effect on the global | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
economy. Exactly because lots of people in emerging economies have | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
lots of debts denominated in dollars particularly in places in Asia and | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
South America and when the cost of borrowing goes up in dollars their | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
and yet their debts are going up in and yet their debts are going up in | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
price because the interest rates go up. That can cause a problem. Also | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
beat will have got money elsewhere around the world because they have | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
been chasing return and they think they can get a better return in | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
dollars. Why am I taking this risk over here? Maybe I will move it back | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
to somewhere safer. Capital flows go back as the interest rates go up on | :18:48. | :19:02. | |
the dollar. We are going to talk about the car industry. The | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
omissions scandal continues. Fresh allegations against rain all. VW are | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
going to be $25 billion to clean up their affairs in the US. I much that | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
will be in Europe is another case. Surely VW cannot be the only people | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
doing this. Sure enough other people have been put under investigation. | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
We got some allegations against Renault this week, a report compiled | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
last year, a French news paper got hold of some of their son said there | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
was reason to suspect that the cause of the difference in tests in | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
scenarios and real life, maybe there was something going on. Renault have | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
denied that saying there is no device in the way that VW have | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
confessed to. We will see how that goes on but it is a rumbling | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
question. As far as a mission scandals go it puts the spotlight on | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
diesel cars and their future because if you have to cheat the tests it | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
seems like they pollute more than we were told. It is interesting because | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
here in the UK we were told to go diesel and were incentives to do | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
that, diesel was cheaper, different taxes are my fees, everyone was | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
going diesel because you got more miles to the gallon, and now diesel | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
has been demonised saying you may win on one but the omissions on the | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
other side are not so good. We got to a point where 50% of all new cars | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
were diesel. I am not sure what the latest stats are but that advance of | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
diesel has been halted. There is a question of whether diesel has run | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
out of puff. Public policy changes as well, charging diesel drivers | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
more to intercity centres for example. | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
If all this news is giving you heavy eyelids, or like us | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
you started work at 3am, this may wake you up. | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
According to the Rand Corporation lack of sleep is costing the world | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
economy billions of dollars in lost productivity and it can | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
Theo Leggett stayed up just long enough to file this report. | :21:09. | :21:18. | |
We know that we need sleep and some of us probably need more than others | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
but what happens if you do not get enough? What can it mean for your | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
ability to do your job? I have come here to this clinical research | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
centre at the University of Surrey where they study sleep and in | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
particular what happens to your brain if you do not get enough. I am | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
going to go over a few things that we will do after we finish. This | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
doctor is a research fellow at the University. Her team studies what | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
happens to the sleeping brain and have analysed how insufficient sleep | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
can have deeply damaging effects on health and performance. Sleep | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
deprivation can lead to a mental state which is very similar to being | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
drunk. In part because you are not aware of your inability to focus or | :22:07. | :22:15. | |
perform at your best and your judgments are impaired, your speed | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
is imperilled. Maria is going to give you instructions. This gives | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
you a -- comes at a cost. Lost sleep can cut economic output by up to 3%. | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
In the US would cost up to $411 billion a year. In Japan it is | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
billion and in the UK $50 billion are just over ?40 million. People | :22:42. | :22:52. | |
who do not sleep as much or more likely to die of cardiovascular | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
disease and cancer and have a car accident. People who enough are more | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
likely to come to work and are more productive at work compared to | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
people who do not sleep enough. Sacrificing sleep to work long hours | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
me impress your boss but it may be dangerous and could be costing your | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
company a great deal. Perhaps it would be better all-round if we | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
could sometimes sit back and take a well earned nap. We will prod him | :23:19. | :23:27. | |
later to wake him up. It is an issue particularly if you are working | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
shifts and trying to get sleep when you can. How do you manage with your | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
sleep patterns? Do you get enough? What prevents it? I usually try to | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
get a couple of hours. A couple? Seven or eight if I can but if there | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
something big happening I often end up staying up too late. Have you | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
ever slept the office? No. Sleep deprivation can make people feel | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
like they are drunk. It is that serious. You may not want to be | :24:00. | :24:12. | |
filling like that. The Times. Ads shown on videos are contributing to | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
extremist content or extremist producers are not miss the family | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
what these advertisers, companies we know and use every day, would like | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
to be funding. He challenged for the likes of the internet companies or | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
Google or YouTube or any of these that have that connection. It is the | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
Home Office, the Royal Navy, the BBC, their ads are popping up on | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
controversial or extremist videos but they would not want to have them | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
on. How does it happen? That is the larger theme, algorithmic, high-tech | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
processes that connect content to content which are not necessarily | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
screening for the content of the extremist or nationalist videos so | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
there is an element of the human review process that is maybe messing | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
and that is what that investigation is looking into. This story about | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
how a piano tuner found a stash of cash and it was a big one in a piano | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
that he was working on. Incredible. A lot of piano is out there are not | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
really worth that much anyway. A sack of gold coins. I would love to | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
find that my old piano. Thinking about the history of how things are | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
passed down and the value, not just finding these gold coins, but the | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
history behind someone who must a stash this in there. The latest one | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
is 1915, they think it was stashed around then. Around a time of war, | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
where it was safe to put your money. Maybe they are worth more than we | :25:50. | :25:57. | |
think. Do you think they will give one to the piano tuner? | :25:58. | :26:01. |
