Hizon. Narendra Modi is on an historic three-day trip to Israel, | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
he is the first Indian Prime Minister to visit and it signals | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
warming relations between the two sides. Defence deals are expected to | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
top the agenda. India but has become Israel's biggest export market for | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
arms as it seeks to counter China and Pakistan. It gets an estimated | :02:22. | :02:33. | |
$1 billion per years in weapons -- per year. | :02:34. | :02:34. | |
The fact Netanyahu received Modi on Tuesday at the airport signals the | :02:35. | :02:42. | |
strength. India has been historically supportive of the | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Palestinian cause but quietly it's been working on its relationship | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
with Israel and until now Mr Modi has given credit to Israel. The main | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
focus of the trip will be economic and strategic. India is already | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
Israel's largest arms market, buying weapons worth $1 billion every year. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
On this trip Mr Modi is expected to push for joint development and sale | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
of drones, missiles and radar systems and the signature make in | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
India campaign. Bilateral trade between the two countries is around | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
$5 billion per year. Both countries want to expand economic ties and are | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
expected to announce deals in sectors like agriculture, water and | :03:31. | :03:31. | |
space technology. The European Union senior officials | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
are also busy discussing free-trade deals with the Southeast Asia | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
nations, a UNKNOWN SPEAKER: As ASEAN in Bangkok, Thailand this week | :03:45. | :03:54. | |
-- a bloc known as. The region created $280 billion in | :03:55. | :04:06. | |
2016 and that is 13% of trade in the region and when it comes to foreign | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
direct investment, the EU is the largest source of investment inflow | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
to the Association of Southeast Asia nations. Earlier I spoke with Kris | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Humphries, the executive director of the EU ASEAN business council and I | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
asked him if we were likely to see any progress in this meeting. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
There's time for them to go in this deal -- Chris Humphrey. They need to | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
put in a framework, that's the important first step, scope out the | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
range of issues they want in that deal. But, Chris, talks started in | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
2009 and we are now on the eighth year, how soon before a deal is | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
finalised? Talks did start in 2009 and they were suspended because the | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
feeling from Europe at least was the ten countries of Southeast Asia | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
weren't ready to work together. That mood has changed, there's a sense in | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Europe now and certainly in the business community that Southeast | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
Asia is ready to move quicker but it won't be a quick process, we're | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
probably talking another 12 months before formal discussions can start | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
and it could be three to complete those talks. You have the ASEAN six | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
and the remaining frontier markets like Cambodia and Laos and Myanmar, | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
do you think ASEAN countries will be willing to include labour rights in | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
the arrangement? I think if ASEAN want to deal with Europe it has to | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
include a whole range of things, it can't just be tariffs but services | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
and RP rights and access to services and also Labour and environmental | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
issues, that's the standard template these days for a deal from the | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
European Commission and I can't see the EU moving on those. Why is | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
labour rights a major sticking point between the EU and ASEAN? It's about | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
the competition to make sure the playing field is as level as | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
possible. -- fair competition. We're talking about the rights of people | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
in their workplace, to avoid slave labour essentially. On the other | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
hand could this extend negotiations between the two sides and there | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
would be any agreement? I'm sensing a greater willingness on both sides | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
to progress. With the near death of TPP, Europe is now seeing an | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
opportunity in Southeast Asia to step up to the plate more, there's | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
more urgency from them and seeing the Southeast Asia nations wanting | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
to do more as a group as well, a region to region deal is possible | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
but it won't be a quick process, but it is now more possible than | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
previously. Any concerns about the future of the EU with Brexit? None | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
at all and the EU is getting stronger, we seen it in recent | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
elections, the EU will come out of this looking very good. There are | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
lots of free trade talks taking place taking place this week, Shinzo | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
Abe is visiting Brussels to finalise a trade arrangement with the EU, a | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
deal that would remove all customs duties and give greater market | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
assets to Japanese car manufacturers and European food exporters. Several | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
airlines in the Middle East will soon allow laptops in cabin is again | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
after the US reversed its ban for US bound flights, however the | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Department of Homeland Security will require additional security | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
initiatives -- cabins. Turkish airlines and the Saudi airlines have | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
said they will implement the new roles. Formula 1 racing team | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
Williams has revealed the baby carrier... The carbon fibre baby pod | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
has been developed to transport critically ill newborn infants | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
safely and securely in an ambulance or helicopter. The BBC's Theo | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
Leggett reports. Williams is one of the great names | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
of Formula 1. Every year it spends millions on exotic new technology | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
and all to make one of these go round a track as fast as possible. | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
But the expertise developed on the racetrack doesn't go to waste. | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Williams advanced engineering is a sister business to the F1 team and | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
it's finding new uses for Formula 1 technology. These little boxes, | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
little pots, are built alongside the Formula 1 cars and they're very | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
high-tech Andrew Talansky why we have Paul McNamara, the technical | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
director of Williams advanced engineering -- and to tell us why. | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
Paul, what is this? A baby pod, a product designed at Williams but its | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
purpose is for moving infants. The idea is it will go into an | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
ambulance, it will go into a helicopter or something like that. | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
The objective that we had with it was to make it very accessible, so | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
as you can see we can take the lid off and we can get everywhere inside | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
this structure. Its carbon fibre because it needs to be light and | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
crashproof. In the event of an accident and we had to simulate and | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
calculate all of that we had to pull on the tabs and the structure had to | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
stay put and the padding which the child is in keeps them OK. One of | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
the most technologically advanced race cars that's ever been made has | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
been made by us... The team said the baby pod is one example of how | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
research carried out in racing can have real social benefits... | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
Lightweight materials, composite, aerodynamics, all these technologies | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
can be so easily applied to other industries, sectors and products in | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
order to invariably make them better but most importantly safe are | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
sometimes and that's the case with the baby pod. The engineering | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
business also allows Williams to make money. -- safer. The profits | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
are ploughed back into the racing team, helping it to fund more | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
research and development and make its Formula 1 cars even faster. Theo | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
