:00:52. > :00:57.dip their toes are little further into the Chinese market might have

:00:58. > :01:04.to wait another year because of the MSCI has delayed the inclusion of

:01:05. > :01:09.domestic equities yet again. The firm says China has made any

:01:10. > :01:18.significant step towards inclusion but investors want improvements

:01:19. > :01:25.before they are included. I spoke to an member of Fidelity investment and

:01:26. > :01:31.asked if this surprised her? Not only surprise, because when we

:01:32. > :01:36.looked at market expectations it was 50-50 regarding the inclusion. It is

:01:37. > :01:41.important to note that while we have seen significant improvements in

:01:42. > :01:48.terms of how foreign investors access Chinese stock, the criteria

:01:49. > :01:56.set last year a lot of it still has to be fulfilled. It is not just

:01:57. > :02:04.result of this news. That will have to try again next year. Do you think

:02:05. > :02:11.they will ever include them? MSCI stated in the inclusion could occur

:02:12. > :02:16.within the next year, outside of the review period which falls every

:02:17. > :02:24.June. If we see further developments in terms of how we access the

:02:25. > :02:29.markets, we could see inclusion. Don't forget, it is likely to be at

:02:30. > :02:34.partial inclusion - let's say 5%- and inclusions take years to

:02:35. > :02:41.implement it so it is long-term story and in years to come, when you

:02:42. > :02:46.do access Chinese stocks, it will be three different share types, it will

:02:47. > :02:57.be one type altogether. -- it will not be. Can they buy shares listed

:02:58. > :03:03.overseas? Yes, you can get Hong Kong listed stocks, the famous Alibaba

:03:04. > :03:10.for example, from an active management perspective, we access

:03:11. > :03:13.the sharemarket through our quotas so there are still many ways for it

:03:14. > :03:18.is this outside of China to access the Chinese growth story and

:03:19. > :03:25.opportunity when it comes to individual names. I want to ask you

:03:26. > :03:29.about market volatility, not just in China but across the world, because

:03:30. > :03:35.there are fears about the UK leaving the EU and the Federal Reserve

:03:36. > :03:41.potential rate hike. Will it continue? It is likely to continue,

:03:42. > :03:49.especially with next week's referendum and uncertainty of the

:03:50. > :03:53.Federal Reserve's decision. We are still seeing some long-term

:03:54. > :03:59.opportunities across Asia but do expect market volatility to continue

:04:00. > :04:04.and possibly more than the economic backdrops were finding in our part

:04:05. > :04:10.of the world. China is not the only country that faced disappointment

:04:11. > :04:16.over market the classification. The MSCI also rejected South Korea's bid

:04:17. > :04:21.to be reclassified to the developed markets status. There was concern

:04:22. > :04:28.over the compatibility of Korean markets. And the use of exchange

:04:29. > :04:37.data for the creation of national products. In other business news:

:04:58. > :05:03.An appeals court has upheld some of the strongest neutrality rules in

:05:04. > :05:10.the world today. The rules high-speed Internet can be defined

:05:26. > :05:33.The annual videogame conference, E3 is on in Los Angeles. For clues on

:05:34. > :05:42.what is installed, we have this report. E3 is kicking off behind me

:05:43. > :05:47.after the exciting announcements from Microsoft, it is finally time

:05:48. > :05:55.to play some of the games. I looking forward to it. The Batman VR - it

:05:56. > :06:02.will take over everything. I hoping to see a lot of new great games. The

:06:03. > :06:09.huge lineup from Sony and electronic arts. I'm looking forward to playing

:06:10. > :06:15.and try out new capabilities. It looks crazy different. It will be

:06:16. > :06:22.interesting. Who has the upper hand? Sony. They came out all cylinders

:06:53. > :07:00.people are expected to come through those doors over the next few days.

:07:01. > :07:08.Let's stay with technology. Besides in New Zealand had been working on

:07:09. > :07:14.product which puts them at the cutting edge of technology. They are

:07:15. > :07:24.producing type of smart rubber which could change the way we control our

:07:25. > :07:33.modern devices. Just another glitzy fashion show in New York... But not

:07:34. > :07:42.quite. There is science going on here. Those fancy lights are

:07:43. > :07:51.controlled by wearable ticks on the model. Auckland University research

:07:52. > :07:57.into electric charge rubber could be game changer. It has three different

:07:58. > :08:03.players, to conduct it pieces of rubber and one non- conductive. We

:08:04. > :08:08.can feel different pressure points. It is cheap and economical and easy

:08:09. > :08:13.to use and applied. The control things intuitively with your hands

:08:14. > :08:19.and body and we want to use that to control devices around us. If you

:08:20. > :08:27.moved your arm, made the gesture, we can use it to control something. For

:08:28. > :08:33.example, change the music or typing things in the air and sending text

:08:34. > :08:38.message. It could be used in medicine, sports or in the living

:08:39. > :08:45.room. I can use my thumb to change weapons. My index finger for fire

:08:46. > :08:52.weapon and I can then use... My middle finger to open doors and walk

:08:53. > :08:57.into other rooms. When the rubber is stretched or quashed, it can produce

:08:58. > :09:02.energy. You can have this on your body and produce power from the

:09:03. > :09:07.devices you are wearing without having to worry about battery

:09:08. > :09:16.recharged and that is essentially what you might call aware and forget

:09:17. > :09:23.scenario. This research is ready in commercial demand. Spin-off company

:09:29. > :09:34.an ecosystem between university and business. The model of business

:09:35. > :09:38.science with almost 200 clients around the world. The latest

:09:47. > :09:51.before we go because Japan and Australia have started trading and
