I'm Babita Sharma with BBC World News. | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
China reacts defiantly after an international tribunal | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
rules against it in the South China Sea dispute. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
The US has urged China to abide by a ruling that its territorial | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
claims in the South China Sea have no legal basis. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
The court found in favour of the Philippines in a long-running | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
dispute about who owns hundreds of islands and coral reefs. | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
Two passenger trains have crashed head-on in southern Italy leaving | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
The trains collided on a single track near the city of Bari. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
Rescuers are still trying to free some of the passengers | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
And this is trending online: An Eagle has been caught trying | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
to fly off with a slightly larger mammal - a human child. | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
It happened at the Alice Springs desert park. | :00:55. | :00:55. | |
The eagle wasn't successful and the boy was unhurt. | :00:56. | :01:06. | |
And the top story here in the UK: The Labour Party's National | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
Executive Committee has voted to automatically include | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
Jeremy Corbyn on the ballot for the party leadership race. | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
His opponents had wanted to force him to gather nominations. | :01:14. | :01:24. | |
Soothing troubled markets. The Hong Kong finance secretary restores | :01:25. | :01:47. | |
meshes to soften the impact of the Brexit vote -- measures. Today, | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
commercials are running longer and longer. We find out why. Good | :01:51. | :02:00. | |
morning Asia. Hello world. Glad you can join us. We kickoff with Hong | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
Kong and the Financial Secretary has told the BBC more has to be done to | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
restore confidence in international markets following Britain's decision | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
to leave the EU. In Asia Hong Kong is thought to be the most at risk | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
from the prospect of Brexit. Certainly, with a referendum | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
decision like what we have now, it is not big on confidence. So I think | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
that need some repair. I think for one thing, they should do more | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
roadshows going around the world to assure people of the markets in the | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
UK will continue to operate in the normal way. That sort of assurance | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
is important. Do you see the British pound continuing its slide against | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
Asian currencies? It has gone down around 10% so far. It is quite | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
substantial. I suppose they should be able to hold at this level for a | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
while. Wasn't it quite a bad outcome for Asian economies wanting to | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
export? Given the current situation, I think the demand in the UK would | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
diminish. It has been a problem since 2008. The entire of Europe | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
hasn't had much demand for goods from anywhere. And for example, Hong | :03:36. | :03:45. | |
Kong, trade is about four times GDP. Without trade, it really doesn't | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
have an impact on our GDP. Do you think the Brexit referendum comes | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
for Hong Kong at a delicate time? The economy contracted 0.4% in the | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
first quarter, another three months of contraction would imply a | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
technical recession. Is that where Hong Kong is headed? The first | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
quarter has been a difficult one. The second quarter so far doesn't | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
look so bad. I don't think we will get into a technical recession | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
situation. But we are in a difficult situation and now the Brexit has | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
become a reality. We will have to watch closely what other factors | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
will contribute. The Hong Kong financial Secretary speaking with | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
our correspondent. Leaders of the aviation world gathered in the UK | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
for an airshow with a full quota of machinery on display on the ground | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
and in the air. The first appearance of the F35 Lightning Two, which was | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
supposed to be a technological leap forward that hasn't gone entirely to | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
plan, as our correspondent reports. After years of anticipation and | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
delays, the F35 Lightning Two finally made its international | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
debut, flying through the cloudy skies over Farnborough. This | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
aircraft is meant to become a mainstay of US air power, the | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
all-purpose fighter used on land and launch from ships, a stealth vehicle | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
the fruit of years of intensive development. It is a dream to fly. | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
It is so nice, so easy and integrated with the pilot. We | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
literally feel like we are one with the machine. We plugged the helmet | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
into the machine, we see through the machine's eyes and when we put into | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
with light controls it responds immediately. A lot is at stake. The | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
project is led by the US defence giant Lockheed Martin but several | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
others are involved. It is years late and heavily overbudget. This is | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
what the F35 looks like inside the cockpit. It is highly advanced and | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
the product of decades of research but it is also the most expensive | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
project in history. Does it offer value for money? The biggest problem | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
is those with a stake in it, those with Korea's reliant on it, are | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
perpetually overpromised and underdeliver -- careers. Despite | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
delays the boss says the project can still be a success. There is a very | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
complex development programme and any of this magnitude and | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
sophistication will take a lot of effort on the part of many people to | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
get it right. It would always go exactly right along the way. We have | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
had some challenges on the front end. Since it was re- baselines back | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
in 2011 timeframe, we have been on cost and schedule and tracking well. | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
It is ten years since an experimental F35 first took to the | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
skies. Its appearance at Farnborough is certainly a milestone. Until the | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
plane has been tested in combat, questions over the cost and | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
complexity of the project will continue to hang in the air. No | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
doubt, there is a lot of money in mixed martial arts these days. | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
Earlier this week, fight promoter UFC sold for $4 billion US. In this | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
region, a Singapore -based championship has received a funding | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
boost of millions of dollars from a consortium including the sovereign | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
wealth fund, and I spoke with one CEO of one championship. It is an | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
exciting time in the sport. We really have a fantastic vision. One | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
of the largest investment funds in Asia have a vision for the global | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
growth of One Championsip. Where will the money go? Into the | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
business. We are already in almost every city in Asia. We are holding | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
multiple events across the region. Our vision is to be holding one | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
event every week of the entire year across Asia. What are the biggest | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
challenge to expanding one championship in the region? Making | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
sure that we continue to grow at the right pace and find the right talent | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
in Asia. You told me there is so much talent, how can you pick the | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
best? We have the best team in the world looking at the fighters around | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
the world. Every fighter wants to be on One Championsip. If you are an | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
athlete in Asia you want to be with the best of the best, broadcast with | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
1 billion viewers worldwide, so why wouldn't you want to be part of it? | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
How to react when browsing the Internet and an advertisement pops | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
up? Do you flick away or do you watch? If you are in this region it | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
is highly likely you will be watching for a long time. In the | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
last 24 hours, an advertisement from Nike has gone viral in India, | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
putting the spotlight on female athletes, it is touching nerves | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
across the nation - the holy grail for advertisers today. | :09:01. | :09:11. | |
It is really storytelling, it's very natural, it is authentic and so | :09:12. | :09:54. | |
whether that is a TV drama or an ad, audiences and users are choosing to | :09:55. | :09:55. | |
watch it. Inspiration is a creed trend brands | :09:56. | :10:28. | |
want to get on top of, inspiring people to do great things, which | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
often takes the form of travel -- great. A third-party study done last | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
year found that by combining TV and YouTube increased brand recall and | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
awareness as well, so it is proving to be effective. It is also creating | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
infinity, so you do see across social media a lot of activity with | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
users, that they will start sharing it. Guess who stepped in the rain, | :10:59. | :11:10. | |
the last one left in the ring. # like, oh my God. And, just like that | :11:11. | :11:19. | |
ad, Asian stock markets are running forward, a positive day, another | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
winning streak this Wednesday after the US secretary set record closing | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
high for a second day with optimism on the world economy and upbeat | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
corporate results. The Nikkei to divide is up 1.7%. Investors are | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
hopeful of a Japanese stimulus initiative. The All Ordinaries index | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
is also in positive territory half a percent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
opening doors in 15 minutes' time. A good day for the Asian financial | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
markets. That is it for this edition of Asia Business Report. See you in | :11:59. | :12:07. | |
the next hour. You're watching BBC News. | :12:08. | :12:08. | |
The United States has urged China to comply with the ruling | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
of an international tribunal, which found that China's claim | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
to historic rights over the South China Sea had | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
President Obama has urged Americans to reject despair over racial | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
division at a memorial service in Dallas for five police officers | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
Archaeologists are hailing an extraordinary discovery in | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
They've discovered field patterns buried underneath woodland | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
in the South Downs that suggest pre-Roman Britain was much more | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
Duncan Kennedy reports from Bignor Hill. | :12:34. | :12:43. | |
The breathtaking woodlands of the South Downs. | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Beneath this lush canopy, historians have uncovered | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
It took ground-breaking lasers to reveal the underground secrets. | :12:51. | :13:01. | |
For two years, they scanned the floor and analysed the data | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
300 square miles of fields from 1500 years BC. | :13:04. | :13:15. | |
Organised farming on a scale and age not seen before. | :13:16. | :13:24. | |
It is really important and exciting that in England's | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
newest national park, we have used aerial radar to make | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
archaeological discoveries that are some of the most extensive | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
and significant in England over the last decade. | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
Until now, it was thought large-scale organised farming came | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
The researchers say that their findings put | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
With the scale of this on the South Downs and the quality | :13:45. | :13:57. | |
of the preservation within the wooded part | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
of the South Downs, it is a truly remarkable discovery. | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
The ancient fields under these trees would have seen wheat | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
Prehistoric people farming, not hand-to-mouth, but on an epic scale. | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
The latest figures from John Lewis suggest sales are recovering | :14:08. | :14:16. | |
from the uncertainty that followed the Brexit vote. | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
The John Lewis Partnership is the only major British retailer | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
to publish weekly sales updates and its sales are often seen | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
as an indicator of trends on the high street. | :14:25. | :14:42. | |
That is it for me. All of the stories of the BBC News website. | :14:43. | :14:43. |
