:02:00. > :02:03.HSBC has come in quite a bit below Pre-tax profit fell 62%
:02:04. > :02:09.from the previous year, with the bank calling it a period
:02:10. > :02:12.remembered for its largely unexpected economic
:02:13. > :02:23.and political events. The net profit of $7.1 billion
:02:24. > :02:26.compared with $18.87 billion recorded in 2015, and group chairman
:02:27. > :02:28.Douglas Flint says geopolitical changes contributed to volatile
:02:29. > :02:33.financial market conditions. Last year HSBC agreed to pay
:02:34. > :02:40.$1.6 billion dollars to end a class action lawsuit over its involvement
:02:41. > :02:43.in the US sub-prime mortgage scandal That is just one element that has
:02:44. > :02:52.been going on. It's also facing pressure
:02:53. > :02:54.to tighten up safeguards US regulators have said HSBC
:02:55. > :02:58.has made some progress And all this comes as the bank
:02:59. > :03:05.closes an additional 62 branches in the UK on top of the 55 announced
:03:06. > :03:09.last year and tries to recover from the reputational damage caused
:03:10. > :03:12.by being found guilty of taking part That is like many of its peers.
:03:13. > :03:27.Rachel, over to you. Our economics editor
:03:28. > :03:35.Kamal Ahmed is with me. Thank you for coming in. Sally has
:03:36. > :03:40.run through some of the issues, that drop in profits as much larger than
:03:41. > :03:45.expected, but overall, what has been the reaction? Overall the share
:03:46. > :03:49.price has come off a little bit, down almost 5%, but lots of that is
:03:50. > :03:55.to do with profit-taking, HSBC shares have gone up by over 50%
:03:56. > :04:01.since the referendum in the UK last summer. It said it would execute a
:04:02. > :04:05.$1 billion share buy-back. That was a little disappointing to some
:04:06. > :04:10.shareholders who said it would be around $3 billion, so shares have
:04:11. > :04:14.been a bit softer because of that. It shows two things, firstly it is
:04:15. > :04:18.very hard to make money in banking in this low interest rates, low
:04:19. > :04:26.inflation world we still inhabit. Secondly, global shots for a global
:04:27. > :04:31.bank, things like Brexit, the election victory of Donald Trump, me
:04:32. > :04:34.that trading tends to slightly softened, revenue is slightly
:04:35. > :04:42.softened and profits soften slightly. In overall terms, HSBC is
:04:43. > :04:47.robust, it revealed that its capital ratio, its core capital is now above
:04:48. > :04:51.13%, well above target, so it is a very robust balance sheet. What
:04:52. > :04:56.shareholders want to see is what is HSBC going to do without money, it
:04:57. > :05:02.has been selling assets in dealing with reputational damage that Sally
:05:03. > :05:07.spoke about, what would it do to reinvigorate growth and rebuild its
:05:08. > :05:12.business in Asia? Donald Trump Brexit, they were issues the global
:05:13. > :05:16.finance and trade, and perhaps the rising protectionism for a bank like
:05:17. > :05:21.HSBC, a global bank which gets a lot of business from global trade. Going
:05:22. > :05:26.forward, what impact will it have on the bank? Is two thirds of HSBC's
:05:27. > :05:32.profit comes from Asia and there is a trade war between and China, which
:05:33. > :05:36.President Trump has threatened at least, not gone through with yet but
:05:37. > :05:41.threatens, that could be damaging to trade around the world. HSBC is one
:05:42. > :05:47.of the biggest banks in trading so that could be something on its
:05:48. > :05:51.profits. At the moment there is a sense that this might be the dock
:05:52. > :05:57.before the sunlight, we have these big fiscal boosts possibly coming
:05:58. > :06:01.for America, cutting corporation tax, the release of animal spirits
:06:02. > :06:07.in the US economy, that would be very good for HSBC. What about in
:06:08. > :06:10.terms of who was running the bank in the future? Douglas Flint is
:06:11. > :06:16.expected to retire and we do not know who will succeed him, Richard
:06:17. > :06:21.Gulliver is expected to move on in the next few years? HSBC was always
:06:22. > :06:25.a business promoted from within, it has never had an external Chief
:06:26. > :06:31.Executive or Chairman, some shareholders are pushing for outside
:06:32. > :06:34.blood. No real detail on how that is going, there is a process and
:06:35. > :06:40.Douglas Flint and Stuart Gulliver are due to move on. There are 2
:06:41. > :06:48.megabits candidacy would look at, both Portuguese, there is the head
:06:49. > :06:52.of UK and European HSBC and the chief executive of Lloyds bank, one
:06:53. > :06:56.of the other big banks in the UK commerce and big candidates. There
:06:57. > :06:59.are not that many people Houara chelated in the right way with the
:07:00. > :07:04.right skill set to run a massive global bank. There is only a handful
:07:05. > :07:09.of people, there could be an internal candidate, it could be
:07:10. > :07:12.external, shareholders are most at -- are more focused on whether
:07:13. > :07:17.bankers going to do Stuart Gulliver rather than what will happen next. I
:07:18. > :07:25.am sure you will be putting this on the website? May well be! Is that an
:07:26. > :07:25.order?! Some other stories, it is an extremely busy day.
:07:26. > :07:27.The world's biggest miner, BHP Billiton, reports
:07:28. > :07:29.a near eight-fold rise in underlying first-half net profit
:07:30. > :07:36.to $3.24 billion from $412 million a year earlier.
:07:37. > :07:40.And shareholders received a bigger than expected dividend
:07:41. > :07:42.of 40 cents a share, signalling its growing
:07:43. > :07:46.confidence amid a resurgence in commodity prices.
:07:47. > :07:48.Good news for Intercontinental Group shareholders -
:07:49. > :07:50.the hotel group reveals it is to issue a special
:07:51. > :07:53.$400 million dividend for shareholders and an 11% increase
:07:54. > :07:58.This comes as the UK-listed owner of Holiday Inn reports a 9.5%
:07:59. > :08:08.increase in underlying profit to $702 million for 2016.
:08:09. > :08:13.And YouTube is to scrap unskippable 30-second advertisements from 2018.
:08:14. > :08:16.Google has confirmed that it will focus on formats that work well
:08:17. > :08:18.for both users and advertisers, and says long unskippable adverts
:08:19. > :08:21.on the video-streaming service are seen as a nuisance by many
:08:22. > :08:40.I can hear you all cheering as I read that out loud!
:08:41. > :08:43.Let's look at what is on the tablet and sticking with HSBC, all those
:08:44. > :08:47.banking stories making the headlines. The plunger natures BC
:08:48. > :08:54.shares, lots of other banks are reporting this week as well. -- the
:08:55. > :08:59.plunge in HSBC shares. We chatted to Kamal before we came on air and we
:09:00. > :09:02.talk about how the falls on the FTSE, he believes they are more
:09:03. > :09:06.profit-taking, people selling of shares they bought in anticipation
:09:07. > :09:11.of a larger buy-back scheme. They announced the share buy-back of
:09:12. > :09:17.$1 billion, they expected it to be larger than that, it has done a
:09:18. > :09:21.previous one of $2.5 billion. As Kamal Ahmed mentioned, profits are
:09:22. > :09:22.up 50% since the June referendum. Always lots of layers in these
:09:23. > :09:23.figures. Troubled Japanese technology giant
:09:24. > :09:26.Toshiba wants to raise $8.8 billion from the sale of most
:09:27. > :09:44.or all of its flash chip business. Tell us some more about this story?
:09:45. > :09:48.Toshiba's microchips are mostly used on mobiles and tablets and it is one
:09:49. > :09:52.of the conglomerate's most valuable businesses, if reports are accurate
:09:53. > :09:57.they are considering a sell-off of majority stake to raise up to $8
:09:58. > :10:01.billion, a much bigger slice of the business than the 19.9% they
:10:02. > :10:07.previously said they would sell. Why some of the Crown Jewels? Toshiba is
:10:08. > :10:10.trying to plug a big hole in finances due to a write-off of its
:10:11. > :10:16.US nuclear division. One credit ratings agency said that the rating
:10:17. > :10:19.might be smashed as a result, bad news for investors, said they were
:10:20. > :10:26.not enthusiastic about the sale today. Toshiba stocks rose almost 2%
:10:27. > :10:32.in early trading but closed about 1.39% lower. Thank you. That is one
:10:33. > :10:37.of the shares on the move in Asia, another stock on the move was HSBC,
:10:38. > :10:40.it is listed in Hong Kong as well as London, its shares in Hong Kong were
:10:41. > :10:46.head quite badly when the results came out, shares down on the Hang
:10:47. > :10:50.Seng something like 3.5%. That is ready's close for the States, it was
:10:51. > :10:54.President's Day on Monday so no action on Wall Street yesterday,
:10:55. > :11:00.they will reopen after a nice long bank holiday weekend.
:11:01. > :11:04.Let's look at Europe, BHP Billiton shares are doing nicely if we can
:11:05. > :11:10.move on to the European markets. And Anglo-American as well came out with
:11:11. > :11:15.results very similar to BHP, a real turnaround, losses last year, big
:11:16. > :11:21.profits this year, commodity prices have been on the way up. In
:11:22. > :11:26.particular, metals. Not enough to boost the FTSE. HSBC is lower,
:11:27. > :11:30.mining stocks higher, the FTSE down by almost 0.4%, the European markets
:11:31. > :11:34.are headed lower. Back to Rachel. Mike Amey, managing director
:11:35. > :11:44.and portfolio manager Thank you for coming in. I will bore
:11:45. > :11:51.you with banking, we started with HSBC, lots of the banking stocks are
:11:52. > :11:57.down this morning, on the FTSE. Lloyds are down 1%, RBS 1.3%,
:11:58. > :12:07.Barclays 1.45%, Standard Chartered 2%. The banking sector has done very
:12:08. > :12:11.well, posed Brexit, a big bounce, HSBC up 50%, so a bit of
:12:12. > :12:20.nervousness. The other thing that is going on is in the HSBC commentary,
:12:21. > :12:23.basically the amount of money they make on their day-to-day business
:12:24. > :12:27.looks like it is coming in lower than expected. Roughly speaking,
:12:28. > :12:31.they take deposits offers and land them on mortgages to us or others,
:12:32. > :12:36.the differential between those is how they make money, when interest
:12:37. > :12:41.rates are low, that squeezes profits. Is that why did the dens
:12:42. > :12:45.are so important right now, another way of getting money in when
:12:46. > :12:51.interest rates are so low? -- is that why dividends are so important?
:12:52. > :12:55.Intercontinental hotels, Anglo-American and BHP are saying
:12:56. > :13:00.the dividends are there, they are upping them? We are all looking for
:13:01. > :13:05.ways to get income, frankly, with low interest rates. Sustaining the
:13:06. > :13:09.dividend is very important. Prices because people look at other ways.
:13:10. > :13:13.Bank deposits, they say they will not get income so if there are other
:13:14. > :13:15.ways to do it safely they will, so the message about keeping the
:13:16. > :13:19.dividend is trying to reinforce that.
:13:20. > :13:23.Aside from banking stocks reporting we have minutes from the latest
:13:24. > :13:27.Federal Reserve meeting coming out on Wednesday, what are we looking
:13:28. > :13:31.for? Not everybody is at superlow interest rates and staying there,
:13:32. > :13:35.the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates already and the
:13:36. > :13:39.question is how quickly. They raised rates in December, these minutes
:13:40. > :13:42.will be all about March or June. Our best guess is probably June rather
:13:43. > :13:46.than March, if they have a decent couple of months worth of data
:13:47. > :13:51.perhaps Marge, rates are going up somewhere, not all bad news.
:13:52. > :13:54.You are coming back to do the papers, see you later.
:13:55. > :13:58.We will find out how much might can do in terms of productivity in nine

:14:11. > :14:14.in pre-tax profits in its latest half year results.
:14:15. > :14:17.The firm has set new house-building targets of 5000
:14:18. > :14:30.Theo Leggett has been crunching the numbers.
:14:31. > :14:37.would seem for these kind of house-builders that they are doing
:14:38. > :14:40.extremely well? They are, good times for the house-builders because there
:14:41. > :14:46.is so much demand for residential property in this country. According
:14:47. > :14:49.to the Government's house-building white paper, that will continue, so
:14:50. > :14:55.Gulliver try is pinning its hopes on that. The press release says they
:14:56. > :14:59.are strengthening their foundations to support strategy for growth, the
:15:00. > :15:03.worst plan of the day, in my opinion, but looking at the three
:15:04. > :15:07.areas of their business, Linden homes, probably the most
:15:08. > :15:11.recognisable brand, their main residential property building on,
:15:12. > :15:14.that has very good rotted margins at the moment, it currently builds
:15:15. > :15:20.around 1500 houses a year and wants to increase that to more than 5000.
:15:21. > :15:22.It also has its partnership and regeneration division working with
:15:23. > :15:26.local authorities to build affordable housing, that is all
:15:27. > :15:30.doing rather well, expanding with reasonable profit margins. There is
:15:31. > :15:35.another area that is business that generates big revenue but poor
:15:36. > :15:38.margins, its infrastructure and construction business. That is wafer
:15:39. > :15:42.thin margins at the moment. The picture overall is very good,
:15:43. > :15:45.revenues increase profit margins are very good, but that part of the
:15:46. > :15:50.business is looking comparatively weak.
:15:51. > :15:55.It is hard to gauge where things will go next. There are a loft
:15:56. > :16:00.elements that are good and strong. But we were talking to the boss of
:16:01. > :16:04.Redrow after that White Paper was released. If you read the statement
:16:05. > :16:08.that Galliford Try put out this morning, they state we continue to
:16:09. > :16:13.monitor market conditions and consumer confidence closely and are
:16:14. > :16:16.mindful of the uncertainty in the economic environment. Who would not
:16:17. > :16:21.be right now? There is so much uncertainty out there. They say as
:16:22. > :16:25.emphasised by the housing White Paper, the Government remains
:16:26. > :16:30.committed to increasing housing supply. They say the market
:16:31. > :16:33.continues to enjoy good mortgage availability along with low interest
:16:34. > :16:35.rates and the stimulus of Help To Buy. The outlook seems good for
:16:36. > :16:41.them. They are taking advantage and they are planning to expand.

:17:15. > :17:15.it all for you and also talk you through the various winners and
:17:16. > :17:18.losers. The innovators behind tech companies
:17:19. > :17:20.often have extraordinary stories. But few can match the experience
:17:21. > :17:23.of the next person we're featuring in our week long
:17:24. > :17:25.Disability Works series. Geoffrey Ball is the chief
:17:26. > :17:33.technology officer of Med-El, which is a global company
:17:34. > :17:35.researching the field of hearing loss and making
:17:36. > :17:38.implantable hearing systems. Geoffrey developed hearing loss
:17:39. > :17:43.as a child, but later became frustrated by traditional hearing
:17:44. > :17:44.aids, so searched After completing a biomedical
:17:45. > :17:48.degree, he worked in the field of neuroscience, biomedical
:17:49. > :17:51.and auditory research. This lead him to develop
:17:52. > :17:53.and personally test a middle ear implant, known as the Vibrant
:17:54. > :17:59.Soundbridge. His situation is unusual
:18:00. > :18:02.because he is both inventor and patient of the medical device
:18:03. > :18:04.aimed at curing a chronic Geoffrey Ball is Chief Technology
:18:05. > :18:18.Officer at MED-EL and joins us. Good to see you. Welcome to the
:18:19. > :18:23.programme. Thank you. Just tell us the story from the beginning. We do
:18:24. > :18:26.hear of people struggling with hearing loss or profound deafness,
:18:27. > :18:36.but you don't hear of them fixing the problem themselves. It is very
:18:37. > :18:40.unusual. Yes, well, I lost my hearing as a toddler. I had a high
:18:41. > :18:45.fever and after that I could no longer hear. I wore hearing aids for
:18:46. > :18:50.a long time. I grew up in Silicon Valley, California and I got help
:18:51. > :18:54.from special educators and from speech pathologists and I was quite
:18:55. > :18:59.lucky. But hearing aids never worked for me. They just made everything
:19:00. > :19:03.louder, but they didn't make everything clearer. So I decided
:19:04. > :19:06.well, I'm going to come up with something I want, an implant that's
:19:07. > :19:11.going to fix it because you have to go into the ear. I asked my doctors
:19:12. > :19:17.at Stamford University when is the implant coming? They said next year.
:19:18. > :19:20.After several years of that, I finally graduated from university
:19:21. > :19:31.and I said maybe I can come to the lab and help you out. So I spent
:19:32. > :19:35.years working in the lab. I didn't have an epiphany. I worked out how
:19:36. > :19:40.to make an implant that would work and I started the company and that's
:19:41. > :19:44.how we went. In terms of your eureka moment, building that device that
:19:45. > :19:47.worked. For many inventors, that's going to bring a certain level of
:19:48. > :19:51.pleasure and satisfaction, but for you, it wasn't that achievement, it
:19:52. > :19:56.was going to improve your life? It was going to improve my life, but it
:19:57. > :19:59.was a sense of relief because I built hundreds of devices that
:20:00. > :20:03.didn't work, and to come up with the one that did work was a great day
:20:04. > :20:08.and then, of course, the real challenge happened. This happened in
:20:09. > :20:13.my garage in Silicon Valley which is located around the corner from Steve
:20:14. > :20:18.Jobs' garage who started this fruit company called Apple! I hope he did
:20:19. > :20:22.OK with that! And today, that's probably the last medical device
:20:23. > :20:28.that will come out of a garage like that! Just tell us, you created the
:20:29. > :20:32.device. You then had to raise funding to launch it, start a
:20:33. > :20:38.company and then tell us about the day you tried to launch? Well, when,
:20:39. > :20:42.first I had to get the device implanted and having your own device
:20:43. > :20:46.implanted and having it work was really, like I was so happy and that
:20:47. > :20:52.was great. You could hear things that I never heard before like
:20:53. > :20:56.birds. I never heard wind blowing through the trees, but then we went
:20:57. > :21:00.to launch the product and we did trials in Europe and we got approved
:21:01. > :21:06.here and we were doing very well as a company and then we launched the
