:00:00. > :00:15.his list of priorities. Now on BBC News all the latest

:00:16. > :00:20.business news live from Singapore. Agricultural giant Cargill pledges

:00:21. > :00:25.to help stop deforestation, we ask the CEO whether they will walk the

:00:26. > :00:28.talk. Immigrants to Australia have been struggling to find jobs because

:00:29. > :00:40.of rising unemployment and sometimes discrimination.

:00:41. > :00:45.Thank you for joining us. One of the world 's largest

:00:46. > :00:49.agricultural companies have pledged `` has pledged to rule out

:00:50. > :00:54.afforestation from its applied change `` chain. Cargill, a major

:00:55. > :00:58.palm oil producer which processes grains and corn made the commitment

:00:59. > :01:05.at a United Nations summit in New York on Tuesday, and were among 40

:01:06. > :01:11.companies who agree to try and end tropical deforestation by 2030. Our

:01:12. > :01:15.correspondent asked the CEO what led to the move. It is too big to

:01:16. > :01:21.ignore. That is why I want Cargill to be a leader and be in front in

:01:22. > :01:27.terms of doing whatever we can and bring others along with us when

:01:28. > :01:29.addressing this. The fact is it adds volatility. Extreme temperatures,

:01:30. > :01:36.lack of rainfall, or extreme rainfall. We believe in risk

:01:37. > :01:41.management and understanding how to manage it for our own businesses and

:01:42. > :01:44.customers. In the past, companies and financial leaders have said, we

:01:45. > :01:48.cannot do anything about climate change because it will hurt economic

:01:49. > :01:54.growth. Does that argument still hold? Are we at a tipping point? I

:01:55. > :01:59.think it is, we are. If you mean whether we are at a tipping

:02:00. > :02:05.point... But the mindset is changing? It is. Economic growth and

:02:06. > :02:11.economic success is not incompatible with doing something about climate

:02:12. > :02:14.change without... It is not incompatible with taking deliberate,

:02:15. > :02:20.smart and specific steps to do whatever we can to make sure we

:02:21. > :02:25.build sustainable supply chains and take steps to eradicate

:02:26. > :02:31.afforestation and climate change `` deforestation. I do not believe they

:02:32. > :02:38.are incompatible. I do think that the momentum is significant.

:02:39. > :02:43.Cargill' CEO speaking to our correspondent.

:02:44. > :02:48.Technology now, wearables are still in the infancy stage, and it has not

:02:49. > :02:52.become as ubiquitous as mobile phones. A recent study has found

:02:53. > :02:57.that fewer than 20 million products have been shipped this year but the

:02:58. > :03:02.market could be more than five times as big by 2018. Earlier, I spoke to

:03:03. > :03:08.the CEO of business software company ever know to get his take on the

:03:09. > :03:13.importance of innovation and wearable technology. How people use

:03:14. > :03:17.the devices will be the biggest area of design in the next few years ``

:03:18. > :03:21.Evernote. You can have an application on a single device like

:03:22. > :03:24.a phone, to one that crosses onto tablets, into your car,

:03:25. > :03:29.refrigerator, everything all at once. The question is, with the

:03:30. > :03:35.seamless convergence of technology, is security. If you have one

:03:36. > :03:36.device, it can get information from all of the other technologies that

:03:37. > :03:41.you have? It makes security and privacy more important, you have

:03:42. > :03:45.technology that is much more intimate and closer to you, more

:03:46. > :03:50.aware of everything you do. It raises the bar on how important

:03:51. > :03:54.security and privacy is. I think all of the leading companies will have

:03:55. > :03:59.to step up and take it seriously. Tell us, how does a software company

:04:00. > :04:03.like yourself go about picking winners and spotting the trends that

:04:04. > :04:07.matter in wearable technology? We aren't really in the business of

:04:08. > :04:12.picking winners, we develop Evernote for every platform that we think is

:04:13. > :04:16.viable. We aren't winners but geeks, we love you hardware and devices, it

:04:17. > :04:20.doesn't take as much to get excited about something coming out. We see

:04:21. > :04:24.which versions have the most staying power. Briefly, tell us which has

:04:25. > :04:29.the most staying power from the product range you have at the

:04:30. > :04:33.moment? It really feels to me like the Apple watch is going to

:04:34. > :04:38.introduce the mainstream era of wearables, the Apple watch itself

:04:39. > :04:42.may or may not be successful, and will force other companies to become

:04:43. > :04:45.more mainstream. We have been developing smart watches for a

:04:46. > :04:51.couple of years now, and it feels like it will take a major step to

:04:52. > :04:58.going from early ones to hundreds of users `` hundreds of millions of

:04:59. > :05:02.users. BlackBerry has held its first major

:05:03. > :05:08.phone launch in two years, the new square shaped passport phone is

:05:09. > :05:11.bigger, but is it better? With sales falling from 11 million units to a

:05:12. > :05:15.few years ago to just 1 million last year, the company has been under

:05:16. > :05:20.pressure to come up with a new product. Is it enough? Is it too

:05:21. > :05:24.little too late? Our correspondent finds out. In the smart phone

:05:25. > :05:29.battle, blackberry has had a pretty torrid few years, it's fair to say,

:05:30. > :05:37.but this is the device it believes will get it back in the fight, the

:05:38. > :05:40.Passport. The key thing you notice is that it has a keyboard.

:05:41. > :05:44.BlackBerry returns to what it sees as its key strength. That is the key

:05:45. > :05:50.point, isn't it? The size stands out, and the keyboard? Yes, two

:05:51. > :05:54.things about it, the size, we try to be innovative with size and shape to

:05:55. > :06:00.give people the real estate on the screen without compromise. It is

:06:01. > :06:03.big. It fits in your pocket `` pocket quite easy, but it gives

:06:04. > :06:08.people what they have been asking for, the keyboard. They like a big

:06:09. > :06:12.screen. With the keyboard, there are only three physical lines of keys.

:06:13. > :06:16.The key thing people will say is where are the applications? There

:06:17. > :06:21.are so many great apps you can have on other phones now, but you don't

:06:22. > :06:25.have them? We did in BlackBerry ten and BlackBerry world. The developers

:06:26. > :06:32.put new to fragment against the resource, we do have the capability

:06:33. > :06:37.to have applications. We can release them on this phone, and two other

:06:38. > :06:42.phones and the existing ones as well. You can play games, share

:06:43. > :06:51.photos, do you have Instagram? You can go on to the Amazon store, and

:06:52. > :06:52.get the applications. The truth is, you have lost your customers? They

:06:53. > :06:58.have gone to Apple, android, and they will not come back?

:06:59. > :07:07.come in and see the innovation on this phone, they see what we have

:07:08. > :07:11.done with the keyboards. We have improved security levels, and good

:07:12. > :07:14.battery life. This phone will give you 25 hours solid battery life.

:07:15. > :07:20.With other phones, you will get less than a day. Migrants have played a

:07:21. > :07:25.major role in Australia's long`term economic success but at the moment

:07:26. > :07:28.unemployment topped 6%, and in a recent study by the Australian

:07:29. > :07:33.bureau of statistics, it suggests the outlook is even tougher for out

:07:34. > :07:36.`` for migrants and temporary residence. One in three find it

:07:37. > :07:41.difficult to get a first job. This man is a chef and spoke only

:07:42. > :07:43.man to ring when he arrived in Australia from Beijing in the late

:07:44. > :07:53.1980s. `` from Beijing. days, a lack of English was a real

:07:54. > :07:58.obstacle. Unable to find work he went to college and it was the start

:07:59. > :08:03.of a journey. Language is a priority to mix with

:08:04. > :08:12.locals. I went to school to learn English. When you communicate, you

:08:13. > :08:18.can start your life. Family is good, life is good, children are good. You

:08:19. > :08:21.can get it by working hard. Unemployment in Australia is at

:08:22. > :08:26.levels not seen for more than a decade. Migrants from

:08:27. > :08:29.non`English`speaking backgrounds have traditionally had far higher

:08:30. > :08:33.rates of joblessness than other Australians. There are fears that

:08:34. > :08:38.the gap will only widen as the situation here gets worse. John

:08:39. > :08:43.Connor arrived in Australia from South Sudan as a refugee ten years

:08:44. > :08:48.ago. He now has a degree in medical science, but cannot break into his

:08:49. > :08:54.chosen field. Throughout his time in Australia, he has found the labour

:08:55. > :08:57.market a tough challenge. I had to struggle actually for the first

:08:58. > :09:02.three years, when I came to Australia. I struggled to go to

:09:03. > :09:09.school to learn more. I had to go to the factories, that was very

:09:10. > :09:15.difficult to. I had to keep trying until I got my first job. `` too. A

:09:16. > :09:19.quarter of Australians were born overseas, this is a modern country

:09:20. > :09:24.built by successive waves of migration. There is a belief that

:09:25. > :09:28.diversity has made the Australian economy stronger. There's an

:09:29. > :09:31.overwhelming consensus in Australia that multiculturalism and

:09:32. > :09:34.immigration has been a good thing. It's clear the links between

:09:35. > :09:39.immigration and trade and foreign investment improved Australia's per

:09:40. > :09:45.capita income. Migrants often struggled to find a job in Australia

:09:46. > :09:51.because of a lack of relevant experience. Language problems and

:09:52. > :09:54.discrimination. Most eventually overcome initial struggles but if it

:09:55. > :10:01.gets even harder for new arrivals to find work, it will be a concern for

:10:02. > :10:06.the whole economy. Phil Mercer, BBC News, Sydney.

:10:07. > :10:09.In the markets, Asian stocks are trading higher in mid`morning

:10:10. > :10:13.Thursday trade after US equities rebounded overnight having their

:10:14. > :10:14.best performance in over a month, making gains in healthcare and
