This is Business Live from the BBC with Ben Thompson and Sally Bundock. | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
Crude politics - will the recovery in oil prices last as key players | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
try to persuade Iran to join a production freeze? | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
Live from London, that's our top story on Monday, 14th March. | :00:16. | :00:37. | |
Russia's energy minister is in Tehran with oil top | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
But can he persuade Iran to join a freeze on production - | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
just months after sanctions were lifted. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Also in the programme - China's spending spree continues. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
The famous Waldorf Astoria in New York - you'll recognise it | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
here - has new Chinese owners as the Asia economic powerhouse | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
This is how Europe looks in the first hour of trade - | :00:55. | :01:08. | |
we'll have all you need to know for the day ahead. | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
And there are more than 110 million unexploded mines around the world - | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
we'll be hearing from company that clears them from conflict areas | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
And colouring books for adults are seeing a meteoric | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
rise in popularity - with sales hitting 12 | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
million last year - so are you a fan? | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Is the traditional colouring book the antidote to our | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
Let us know - use the hashtag BBC Biz Live. | :01:31. | :01:47. | |
We're starting today with oil, as Russia's energy minister begins | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
talks in Iran over a potential deal to freeze oil production. | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
Last month a group of countries, led by Russia and Saudi Arabia | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
agreed to cap their oil output, but only if other producers did | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
Ill prices fell after that announce: Take a look how oil has risen It has | :02:07. | :02:27. | |
been rising as you can see, climbing now above $40 a barrel. The | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
international energy agency says prices have recovered remarkably, in | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
the past few week, and that lower production in the US is helping to | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
curb the oversupply. But it's unlikely Iran will agree | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
to freeze its production Tough sanctions that | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
all but crippled Iran's oil exports have only just been lifted and it's | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
keen to get production back online. Its OPEC envoy say a cut | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
would be illogical - and is reported to have warned | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
that the country will increase output until it reaches | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
pre-sanctions levels. Miswin Mahesh, an oil analyst | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
at Barclays joins us in the studio. So how do you think these talks will | :03:02. | :03:15. | |
go today? We think that Iran has been clear to the market. They said | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
we want to reach four million barrels a day, before we agree to | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
any sort of production freeze, because they know that all the other | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
members that are convincing them to join have already been producing at | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
high levels. So it is their turn to make hay while the sun shines as it | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
were. Yes. They are producing 2.9 million barrels at the moment. How | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
long will it take them to get to 4,000? They need expertise, they | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
need investment. So they need 30 billion a year, so get the asets | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
working again, get that extra million barrel days but they have | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
done quite well over the last three done quite well over the last three | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
months even without foreign help in boosting production, the leg, the | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
final leg will be difficult, just because the way they have shut these | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
production fields when the sanctions came through was a lot more | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
difficult than if it was a normal shut down process. In the meantime | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
Opec and non-OPEC members were going to meet on 20th March. Where are we | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
headed given that Russia and said were trying to reach an agreement | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
yeemt? That has been the big disappointment, leading up the rally | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
has been because of expectation, March 20th we might see not only a | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
freeze, possibly a cut is what the market thought, and now we are not | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
even having the meeting because these producers can't agree on a | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
location, whether it should be in the Middle East or Russia, and our | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
view is that we will see the next Opec meeting in June and again see | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
more of the same in December, where people can't agree to cut or freeze. | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
So what is likely to happen to the price in that case of without we are | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
just about $40s a barrel, are we going to stay or go up? We think | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
that prices will be volatile, heading into to peck meeting so we | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
will see more weakness in the next 30-35 days because refineries have | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
shut down for maintenance, it is a low period for demand, but going | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
into the driving season, when gas line is in usage, that is when | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
demand picks up. We see oil going from 30 to 40, 45 but not above $50 | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
a barrel. I like that, don't you like that? He has nailed his colours | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
to the mast. Thank you for coming in. We will see whether it comes | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
We will see whether it comes true, watch this space. | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
The International Monetary Fund has suggested it supports the decisions | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
of Japan and Europe to introduce negative interest rates | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
IMF boss Christine Lagarde says "unconventional monetary policies" | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
should continue if they are accompanied by structural reforms | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Japanese banks have been encouraged to lend out the money to businesses | :06:01. | :06:19. | |
and household. We have the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
meeting later. The US ratings agency Moody's has | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
downgraded Hong Kong's outlook to negative following the tightening | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
of the territory's political and economic links | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
with mainland China. It says political risk has risen | :06:30. | :06:30. | |
in Hong Kong over the implementation of the "one country - | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
two systems" policy. Plenty of storiesonline. This is an | :06:34. | :06:44. | |
interesting one. A development in the UK but I am sure it is the case | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
in other country as well. The number of drivers with tellmatics car | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
insurance policies has risen by 40%, what is one of those? It is where | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
you have a black box fitted to your car that monitors your driving. The | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
idea itself brings down your insurance payments because you have | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
to stick to the rules of the road and they have a black box to tell | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
them, so for families where they have teenage children who just pass | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
their test, saying, teenage boy, girl, it brings down the insurance | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
policy. What are you suggesting about the driving of teenage boys? | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
Nothing, I am saving saying it is out there The use of them, it makes | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
it clear there up from 12,000 thousand fitted back seven years | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
ago, 500,000 fitted in cars so it makes it cheaper. Quickly, a look at | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
Asian markets. They are having a good session. It is following on | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
from how we left things off in the US and Europe on Friday, we will | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
talk about the European markets in a moment. There you go. Aussie shares | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
hitting a two month high today. It shows that China's spending power | :07:50. | :08:09. | |
remain despite the slow down in the domestic economy. | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
Fill us in. As you mentioned, the Chinese economy is slowing down, but | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
it looks like the companies still have a lot of cash to spend. So they | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
have been on an acquisition see from and the latest one is a company | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
called, an insurer. Most people will never have heard of it but it a big | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
company, with lots of divisions is everywhere. It is very politically | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
connected to the highest level of Chinese Government. They are | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
reportedly paying $6.5 billion for a luxury hotel collection to add to | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
their already big holdings, including the Waldorf Astoria, and | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
this is the piggest deal for US prime property for them. They have | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
also tried to buy other firms as a Portuguese bank. That wasn't able to | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
go through because it was considered an important bank and there are | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
objections to that. Overall the Chinese firms have done a lot of | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
deals this year, it is only March but there has been $84 billion | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
spent. Compared to last year there was 108 well of Chinese acquisition, | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
by the time we hit the end of 2016 we will see more deals coming | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
through. Good stuff. Thank you. More from you later in the week. A quick | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
look at the number, you can see that is the state of play in Asia. | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
Interesting we we have news from machine orders in Japan. Not hugely | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
exciting but it gives an indication of the state of the economy. They | :09:39. | :09:47. | |
were up 15%. If we can look at Europe as well. We saw them at the | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
start of the programme. This is what Europe is looking like in the first | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
hour of trade, in London, Frankfurt and Paris. Markets are back up but | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
it will be a week dominated by activity from central bank, we will | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
talk about that in a moment. Michelle has a look at what is | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
happening on Wall Street today. Americas seen tram bank concludes a | :10:05. | :10:17. | |
two day policy meeting this Wednesday, and while no action is | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
expected it will still be significant. Investors want to know | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
what the fed thinks about the country's employment and inflation | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
prospects. As things stand there is a gap between what the fed and the | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
markets think will be the projected number of rate hikes this year. This | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
Monday's calendar may be light on economic news but the rest of the | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
week is busy with retail sales and inflation readings lined up. On | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
Tuesday, the US Senate is planning to hold a hearing on driverless car, | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
it will feature testimony from Google. General Motor, Lift and | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
others. That is Michelle of course. | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
Joining us is David Buik from Panmure Gordon. | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
Happy new week as it were. Busy week this week, Michelle touching on some | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
of the issues we heed to watch in the States. We had a rolest coaster | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
reception to Mario Draghi's situation last week where he | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
introduced a wider package of assets to be bought. When you think of the | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
gyration for both European stocks and the FTSE to lend, to end the | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
week below the plimsoll line is unusual. This week we will have more | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
stability. Why? When Janet Yelland gets up to speak, I think she will | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
tell you absolutely no chance of any interest rate change for March, but | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
if anybody thinks that it is off the agenda for June they maybe run, if | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
the date is is good, the employment, the number of jobs and the wage | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
inflation, she may feel she is justified to do so. Going over to | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
Japan, we will just have play it again Sam. The negative interest | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
rates and much as I take my halt off to the wonderful lady who sits at | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
the IMF who is outstanding, I don't believe that quantitative easing in | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
the long-term is good. The European Union was late with it, and if they | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
had done it seven years ago maybe. She stresses that it has to come | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
with structural reform. That is the drum she keeps on beating when it | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
comes to this. You know and I know it won't. The jury is out. She is | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
pushing that agenda very hard. I understand that. She is very good | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
but the rubble is politically these things never work how you think they | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
will. David, quickly, two big D-Days today when it comes, this week we | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
should say when it comes to take over and merger, one the Sainsbury's | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
home retail group bid and Stock Markets. The London stocksening | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
changes with doish. Tomorrow is the trading statements and the figures | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
will be less awful than expected. But the real thing is will they have | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
paid enough for Argos? 1.3 billion is on the take, we know that Stein | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
Hoff of South Africa have upped the ante, I think the CEO of Sainsbury's | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
wants this. It is time out on Friday but I think it will be renewed. | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
Boish? I think they will win it, but there is no such thing as a joint | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
merger. OK, we will see you sown. He is coming back. Conflict clean up. | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
We will hear from a firm that helps combat the lethal aftermath of | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
conflict in Africa and the Middle East. It is a firm that clears more | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
than 45,000 unexploded bombs and mines over the last ten years. You | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
are with Business Live from BBC News. | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
First this is not the sound of music but listen to this line. How can you | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
solve a problem like youth unemployment? The Government says it | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
wants to increase the number of on the job training schemes but the | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
question is whether they are really effective. Steph sat down with | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
Ofsted's Paul Joyce and asked him about their recent review of the | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
schemes to mark National Apprenticeship Week. | :14:11. | :14:19. | |
We saw some shocking practise during the resee, ranging from some | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
apprentices who went aware they were on apprenticeship programmes, we saw | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
some that received very little to no training in their job role. Any | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
particular sectors then that are worse than others? The best practise | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
is where present us thes are in industries that have a long history | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
of apprenticeship programmes so areas like construction and | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
engineering, but, in other sector, like retail and customer services, | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
they were probably the sectors where experiences were less positive. | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
Where we have been trying to recruit present tipses in jobs that really | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
you, I and many members of the public wouldn't recognise as an | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
apprenticeship. While there are job like coffee making and cleaning, | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
while very important, you would probably question whether they need | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
the knowledge, skills and experience to call that an apprenticeship. | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
Have you seen any changes, since this review? Yes, the colleges and | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
the private training providers that run apprenticeship programmes are | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
starting to make some change, and are taking onboard some of the | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
messages in our report, which is pleasing to see. Who is responsible | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
for making sure that these apprenticeships are good enough? The | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
skills funding agency that fund the colleges and the providers, take | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
take some oversight view of provision. It is very important for | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
apprentices if they have concerns to raise that with their employers. It | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
can be daunting though for young person to complain about their | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
employer, they might lose their job? Sure, that is a really good point. | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
They should speak and raise concerns with their supervisor, the next | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
course of action would be to raise any concerns or issues they have | :15:58. | :15:59. | |
with their provider. This is a qarng from the Chief | :16:00. | :16:15. | |
Executive of Tesco calling on the Chancellor ahead of the Budget, cut | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
business rates or jobs will be lost. Russia's energy minister | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
is in Tehran to try to persuade Iran to join a freeze on production just | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
months after sanctions were lifted. Long after the guns have fallen | :16:33. | :16:43. | |
silent and the tanks have stopped moving, war still leaves | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
behind a deadly legacy. In war-torn countries around | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
the world, there are more than 110 million | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
unexploded landmines. They kill and injure | :16:54. | :16:54. | |
thousands each year. And they deter travellers, restrict | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
trade and stifle economic growth. The Development initiative was | :16:57. | :17:09. | |
set-up in 2005. So far, it's removed and destroyed | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
more than 1400 mines It's managing director | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
is Hugh Morris who set Hugh Morris joins us | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
in the studio now. Hugh nice to see you. Welcome to the | :17:20. | :17:29. | |
programme. Some staggering figures when it comes to how much you have | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
been able to do to remove these devices. Talk us through how | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
difficult it is to do that. You are working in some very difficult | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
conditions in very difficult places and it is a very dangerous job? It | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
is a drop in the ocean really what we've managed to achieve. There is a | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
lifetime's work to be done still. Often the biggest challenge is the | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
remoteness of the areas, the difficult poor lines of | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
communication. So actually, when you actually get to the minefield, it is | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
probably one of the easiest tasks is to get cracking with the job, but it | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
is the back-up, getting the teams on the ground, getting the teams | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
trained up and into position is the biggest challenge. These countries | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
that you operate in, Africa, the Middle East, many of them have been | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
ravaged by war for years and years. So their economies are in a real | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
state and many watching might think, you know, is it actually the job of | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
a private company that makes profits to do something like this? Should it | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
not be an organisation that is set-up by maybe non-governmental | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
organisation that's not making money in this process, does that make | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
sense? It does, indeed. We compete regularly against six or seven other | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
commercial organisations, but there are a number of NGO that is we work | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
alongside and sometimes compete against. I think there is a place | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
for both of us. The commercial aspect is aimed to get the job done | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
quickly as economically as possible and hand the land back to the people | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
to actually start conducting other business so mine action should | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
always be seen as a short-term obstacle to development and the | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
commercial aspect of it is equally important, I think, to the sort of | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
NGO side of life. How has the environment changed in which you | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
operate? A lot of the mines that you're dealing with have been there | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
for a very long time. Technology is changing, the way that warfare is | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
carried out is changing. Does it mean that you're constantly having | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
to change how you operate and the way in which you remove these | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
devices? Absolutely. We are always looking for new technologies and new | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
techniques to undertake the task quicker and more efficiently. | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
Obviously the traditional humanitarian mine action is still | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
very prevalent. There is many, many years, a lifetime of work to be done | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
out there, but we have had to deal with the threat from IEDs and this | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
changes the environment because we are now moving into areas that are | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
not necessarily post-conflict. The main battle might be over, but there | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
is still groups, factions that are still fighting in the area. So we're | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
going into countries now where we have to watch our backs, look at | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
security, and this ups the price and the risk. You also were careful to | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
call your company the Development Initiative because you want to sort | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
of get the message out there that you are for development. You employ | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
a lot of local people, don't you, for example in Sudan where you have | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
been operating for something like ten years, you have employed people | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
in Sudan for that ten year period? Absolutely, yes. The focus is on | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
local capacity building. Often we're the first into an area post-conflict | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
and nobody has a job after conflict. So sometimes we are the first | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
employer. So we look to hire as many locals as possible. Obviously the | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
expertise come from internationals. But a lot of our deminers in Sudan | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
for example have been with us for eight or nine years. They are highly | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
experienced. They would be able to travel elsewhere with us to conduct | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
mine action in other countries. We have got to leave it there. Hugh | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
Morris, thank you very much for coming in. So many more questions | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
we'd like to ask, but time has run out yet again. | :21:33. | :21:41. | |
There has been a lot of fuss in the media when one of Google's | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
self-driving cars crashed into a bus. | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
It highlighted just one of the fears people have | :21:52. | :21:53. | |
Our North America Technology reporter - Dave Lee - | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
asked the US transport secretary whether he's worried | :21:57. | :21:58. | |
It is not a surprise that at some point there would be a crash of any | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
technology that is on the road, but I would challenge one to look at the | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
number of crashes that occurred on the same day that were the result of | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
human behaviour. I think the question isn't comparing the | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
automated car against perfection, it is a relative comparison to what we | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
have now on the roads which is you and I and our eyeballs and our | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
brains. Let's look at the stories making the | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
headlines in the media. Starting with this one in the Financial | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
Times, Brazilians take to the street in anti-Government protests. The | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
corruption scandal really hitting the mark there with people's | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
opinion. In Canada, Ontario is piloting a programme that will give | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
free money to citizens for well, doing nothing. It is the type of | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
social safety net called basic income. It is an idea that is | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
generating attraction. Colouring books for adults. A big business | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
apparently. 12 million were sold in 2015. I don't mind a bit of doodling | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
myself! David Buik from Panmure Gordon | :23:03. | :23:03. | |
is joining us again to discuss. Do you like to doodle? I love | :23:04. | :23:15. | |
doodling. Em are talking and... Do you like to doodle? Yes. Do you have | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
an adult colouring book? No. If anyone is watching and would like to | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
send me one, please do. You could get inundated. I will get one as | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
well. Up from one million sold in 2014 to 12 million in 2015, and it | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
strikes me this is just a huge fightback against our ever connected | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
digital electronic lives, it is paper, it is pencil, it is old tech, | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
but it is brilliant. I think it is a fabulous innovation, but it will | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
last five minutes! It is not an innovation, it is a colouring book | :23:55. | :24:06. | |
for adults! Two in their 30s got them for Christmas, day five, | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
haven't got to page three yet. There is hi-tech stuff if you look at the | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
stuff. That's not hi-tech. The designs are. It is something to do | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
with the design. It is colouring pence and a page! | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
Let's move on, shall we? When my colouring arrives, I will let you do | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
one. Brazilians take to the streets in anti-Government protest... Hang | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
on, I have got a lot to say on this, but I have only got 30 seconds. 3.6 | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
million people were on demonstration against... People. As much as any | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
high flying Brazilians can be, against Dilma Rousseff's Government. | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
Her coalition partners are unhappy with some skullduggery with a huge | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
organisation in Brazil. Their economy is in rags and the point I | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
wanted to make Sally and Ben was I think Brazil have got more front | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
than Brighton Pier to consider hosting the World Cup two years ago | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
and the Olympic Games this year when their country is hanging in rags. I | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
think it is a political disgrace and however much high-profile it gives | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
them, you hope it stimulates the young people, this costs billions | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
and billions of dollars. I have no idea. The bill for both of them is | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
$50 billion. Over three million people, all making their stand, | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
asking for change. Absolutely. They feel they have had enough. In a | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
peaceful manner. When you go on and on. It says something. They are | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
saying we feel we have got austerity, but these people are | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
trampled on. David you did it! Sorry! Well done. No need to | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
apologise. That was Business Live. Thank you for your company today. We | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
will see you same time, same place tomorrow. Bye-bye. | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
Hello there. The up and coming week is looking quiet thanks to high | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
pressure. We saw lots of sunshine | :26:16. | :26:16. |
