:00:16. > :00:21.As a search resumes for Flight MH370, Malaysia Airlines confirms

:00:22. > :00:27.there will be compensation packages. Will the buzz over the hugely

:00:28. > :00:37.popular online game continued when it debuts on Wall Street? Thanks for

:00:38. > :00:43.watching Asia Business Report. We start of the Malaysia Airlines and

:00:44. > :00:44.ahead of the company says they are talks with insurance about

:00:45. > :00:51.compensation packages for families of the victims. Malaysian

:00:52. > :00:55.authorities say the plane crashed into the southern Indian Ocean. In

:00:56. > :00:59.our interview, our correspondent asked the company 's chief executive

:01:00. > :01:10.whether the airline can survive. I think we will. We will get through

:01:11. > :01:15.this. We have a great team behind us, it is a great company with great

:01:16. > :01:21.people. I think we will survive this. I hope we will emerge from

:01:22. > :01:25.this stronger. Do you personally feel responsible enough to resign

:01:26. > :01:33.over this? That is a personal decision. I will make that decision

:01:34. > :01:41.later. We have things to do now. What do you have to do next? To

:01:42. > :01:47.ensure that the families of the passengers have been taken care of.

:01:48. > :01:53.Once we have found evidence of the aircraft. Then we have to move to

:01:54. > :01:59.the next phase. We have to start looking at compensation for the

:02:00. > :02:10.families. Lenders that process kick in? `` when does that process kick

:02:11. > :02:19.in? We will make the necessary announcement when we come to that

:02:20. > :02:24.stage. The flight disappearance has raised concerns about how airlines

:02:25. > :02:34.are keeping track of their planes. The British tracking firm says

:02:35. > :02:36.systems can be installed cheaply. Satellite technology has been

:02:37. > :02:41.spreading in the industry. The air traffic control system is to operate

:02:42. > :02:49.with lots of different types of aircraft. Moving to new

:02:50. > :02:52.technologies, moving to global satellite tracking, that is

:02:53. > :02:56.happening but it relies not just on aircraft being equipped at a global

:02:57. > :03:02.network, not just of satellite coverage but also ground stations.

:03:03. > :03:08.Do you agree that it is cheap and easy? There are some issues about

:03:09. > :03:15.affordability for the entire industry. That is part of the

:03:16. > :03:19.slowness. With what happened to Malaysia Airlines, it has put

:03:20. > :03:25.pressure on all the carriers to adopt this type of technology. In

:03:26. > :03:29.many cases they have equipped the aircraft to stand at the Goodman.

:03:30. > :03:38.What is lacking is we do not have global coverage in terms of

:03:39. > :03:47.satellite. France will `` rolls out the red carpet for the Chinese

:03:48. > :03:59.president. The two countries have strong ties.

:04:00. > :04:06.We expect deals to be signed in the next few days. The big deals,

:04:07. > :04:11.Airbus, nuclear. For the first time we will also see much more mid sized

:04:12. > :04:16.companies striking deals with their counterparts in China. China is

:04:17. > :04:19.increasing its investment in Europe but in 2013, they still made more

:04:20. > :04:26.investments in the United States, rather than the EU. In 2014 and a

:04:27. > :04:31.pickup in Europe or not we can expect many more deals, especially

:04:32. > :04:34.in areas that are key for China. Environmental technologies,

:04:35. > :04:42.transportation and obviously, medical technologies. By increasing

:04:43. > :04:50.investment in the EU, do they want majority holdings or do they want a

:04:51. > :04:53.minority investment? This is a very interesting phenomenon, used to be

:04:54. > :05:01.the old pattern of takeovers and majority deals. But most of these

:05:02. > :05:06.deals were not successful, some of them even very big failures. What we

:05:07. > :05:17.see since a couple of years and since 2013, is more and more deals

:05:18. > :05:21.being 20 or 25%. The Chinese become strategic partners but do not want

:05:22. > :05:28.to go into the risk of managing all getting political push back. The

:05:29. > :05:34.maker of the popular Candy Crush has raised half a billion US dollars

:05:35. > :05:44.from its initial offing. The shares are priced very high and will make

:05:45. > :05:47.its debut later today. Wall Street has regained its

:05:48. > :05:54.swagger. The stock market is strong and the market for new stock is on

:05:55. > :05:59.fire. When Candy Crush developer, King Entertainment start selling

:06:00. > :06:03.shares, it will make history, becoming one of Britain's most

:06:04. > :06:09.valuable Internet companies. We are in record`breaking territory. Is a

:06:10. > :06:14.fund manager says investors are once again Suite on public offerings.

:06:15. > :06:21.Yellow muck we are at 70% more in the number of IPOs. Last year was a

:06:22. > :06:28.record so we are seeing levels we have not seen since the Internet

:06:29. > :06:31.bubble in 2000. Back then, insatiable demand took the NASDAQ to

:06:32. > :06:38.its all`time high. Before crashing to earth. The recent rash of share

:06:39. > :06:45.sales is looking a lot like that bubble. In 2000 and the late 90s, we

:06:46. > :06:54.had 80% of IPOs that were loss`making. Today, we have close to

:06:55. > :06:59.75% of the most recent IPOs. We can see is not just a hot market, it is

:07:00. > :07:05.a hot market if you compare it to the greatest bubble of all time. But

:07:06. > :07:11.the trouble with bubbles is they are hard to spot until they burst. So at

:07:12. > :07:14.this point, no one can tell if the enthusiasm for new share offerings

:07:15. > :07:20.is a signal of market strength all a danger sign. What is certain is that

:07:21. > :07:23.lining up behind the acre of Candy Crush, many other companies are

:07:24. > :07:30.hoping to make their stock market debut soon. In other technology

:07:31. > :07:37.news, Facebook is buying a company which makes virtual reality

:07:38. > :07:39.products. Mark Clattenburg said the company could change the way people

:07:40. > :07:44.work, play and can indicate. The work, play and can indicate. The

:07:45. > :07:50.deal is the latest in a series of purchases for the site. Last month,

:07:51. > :07:58.they spent 19 billion dollars on a messaging for a walk. Intel has

:07:59. > :08:02.brought the start up behind another business. The value of the deal has

:08:03. > :08:06.not been released but it is a sign that the market for wearable gadgets

:08:28. > :08:38.new camera and larger screen be big enough to boost their week

:08:39. > :08:43.earnings? The HTC was a hugely successful phone. It won all sorts

:08:44. > :08:47.of awards but did not pull the company out of the downward spiral

:08:48. > :08:53.caused by competition from Samsun and Apple. Here is the new version.

:08:54. > :08:57.It is again an extremely good`looking phone with some great

:08:58. > :09:05.technology on board. Will it make a huge difference? One of the big
