:00:00. > :00:12.China's Premier hails the opportunties of economic

:00:13. > :00:14.globalisation but warns against the dangers of unfair growth

:00:15. > :00:46.Live from London, that's our top story on Tuesday the 27th of June.

:00:47. > :01:08.China's premier says the country will meet its full-year target.

:01:09. > :01:15.We will take a look at how things may look on Wall Street later. And

:01:16. > :01:20.the challenge of keeping your kids entertained - we will talk to a

:01:21. > :01:26.businesswoman who has crowd funded efforts to make a backpack with

:01:27. > :01:29.Wi-Fi and GPS. Hole in the wall, cashpoint or ATM - whatever you call

:01:30. > :01:36.it, it is celebrating its 50th birthday. Our eights days numbered?

:01:37. > :01:59.-- but are its days numbered? A very warm welcome to Business

:02:00. > :02:06.Life. If china's Premier warned the World Economic Forum that fairness

:02:07. > :02:11.is essential or else people will feel left behind. After the USA,

:02:12. > :02:17.China is the world's second largest economy, with a value of the $11

:02:18. > :02:22.trillion. It accounts for almost 15% of what the world produces each

:02:23. > :02:28.year, but it is home to 19% of the world's population, almost one in

:02:29. > :02:40.five and with the number of people increasing, so too are its cities,

:02:41. > :02:54.in size and number. A brand-new eco-city Xiongan will house 2.5

:02:55. > :03:00.million people. It is home to several unicorns, that is companies

:03:01. > :03:05.worth over $1 billion. Some of the best-known names with global

:03:06. > :03:13.ambitions are start-up businesses worth over $10 billion.

:03:14. > :03:15.Let's cross to our Asia Business Correspondent Karishma Vaswani,

:03:16. > :03:25.The Chinese premier has been speaking in the last couple of hours

:03:26. > :03:30.- tell us what he said about china's economy. The big focus for China at

:03:31. > :03:35.the World Economic Forum, the break face of China to the world, appears

:03:36. > :03:41.to be achieving the country's stated growth targets. The Premier said

:03:42. > :03:46.that China can contain any of the risks that have been so well

:03:47. > :03:51.publicised about its economy. It can achieve those growth targets. I am

:03:52. > :03:57.talking about the massive amounts of public and private debt that China

:03:58. > :04:01.has, worth more than 250% of GDP, figures that are very scary for most

:04:02. > :04:07.developed economies, let alone China, which is still in the midst

:04:08. > :04:10.of a big transition. Speaking at the World Economic Forum, the premier

:04:11. > :04:15.dismissed those concerns and said that china's economy remained steady

:04:16. > :04:30.and had seen improving momentum as it moved to a more domestic focused

:04:31. > :04:34.policy. The Premier said that growth forecast is realistic, but he did

:04:35. > :04:37.point to the difficulties ahead in ensuring that everybody is included

:04:38. > :04:48.in this rapid pace of growth. Let's listen to what he had to say.

:04:49. > :04:54.TRANSLATION: Globalisation is changing our world with

:04:55. > :04:57.unprecedented speed and depth, which has provided limitless opportunities

:04:58. > :05:03.for all economies. However, if inadequate measures are taken, it

:05:04. > :05:07.might create a problem of lack of inclusive growth. In other words, it

:05:08. > :05:11.will create a problem of fairness. For example, some people will

:05:12. > :05:17.benefit more than other groups, and traditional industries and jobs may

:05:18. > :05:24.feel the impact. There seems to be a big focus on tech, and it is a

:05:25. > :05:30.long-standing ambition for China to be a world leader in that field.

:05:31. > :05:35.Indeed, and many other big names from Asia that have become household

:05:36. > :05:39.names that us, this has become a really important part of the

:05:40. > :05:43.remarkable transformation in China. Let's not forget that over the last

:05:44. > :05:47.30 years, China basically turned into the factory of the world,

:05:48. > :05:50.lifted incomes and living standards for people across the country, and

:05:51. > :05:54.made goods much cheaper than the rest of us. It is trying to do the

:05:55. > :05:57.same thing when it comes to technology, and I think that

:05:58. > :06:04.ambition will be played out in the coming decades. What would the

:06:05. > :06:11.Chinese premier be satisfied with at the end of this World Economic

:06:12. > :06:14.Forum? I think for many of them are murderers about china going forward,

:06:15. > :06:18.the fact that a lot of analysis has gone into the idea that there is

:06:19. > :06:22.going to be a hard landing. What China really cares about is the

:06:23. > :06:27.social contract it has with its people. We have had this massive

:06:28. > :06:30.economic transformation of the last 30 years, but that has lifted living

:06:31. > :06:35.standards for people at home. For this to continue, you really need to

:06:36. > :06:39.see inclusive growth, not this huge gap between rich and poor that every

:06:40. > :06:46.day appears to be getting wider range China, which is why there is

:06:47. > :06:52.been this onus on cracking down on corruption. -- there has been. It is

:06:53. > :06:56.a big year for the Premier and there is a big party congress at the end

:06:57. > :06:59.of the year, so he has to show that the economy is running well and that

:07:00. > :07:04.people at home are satisfied, so I think that will be a key thing to

:07:05. > :07:08.come out of this forum. Thank you very much for that analysis.

:07:09. > :07:11.Let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news.

:07:12. > :07:13.Western Digital has told the BBC that they have

:07:14. > :07:16.resubmitted their bid for Toshiba's NAND Flash Memory unit.

:07:17. > :07:20.The offer is understood to be in region of $18bn which is the same

:07:21. > :07:23.as the one from a consortium backed by the Japanese government,

:07:24. > :07:27.which Toshiba last week announced as its preferred option.

:07:28. > :07:30.Toshiba is under pressure to raise money following the huge

:07:31. > :07:38.losses it has incurred from its US nuclear unit.

:07:39. > :07:41.The US firm that supplied cladding used on London's Grenfell Tower says

:07:42. > :07:44.it has ended global sales of the product for use

:07:45. > :07:47.Arconic's shares closed down almost 6% in New York on Monday.

:07:48. > :07:50.The company said it was discontinuing sales of Reynobond PE

:07:51. > :07:52.for tower blocks due to "issues" identified by the fire

:07:53. > :07:55.which is believed to have killed at least 79 people.

:07:56. > :07:58.The Japanese computer gaming giant Nintendo has

:07:59. > :08:03.This time it's set to bring the Super Nintendo Entertainment

:08:04. > :08:11.The original was launched in 1990 and sold 50m units worldwide.

:08:12. > :08:18.Some analysts have suggested it's part of its marketing drive

:08:19. > :08:23.to increase sales of its latest console, the Ninetendo Switch.

:08:24. > :08:25.Nissan says it paid its Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn around

:08:26. > :08:28.$10 million in the year ended March, up 2.5 percent from

:08:29. > :08:32.Mr Ghosn, who's one of the best-paid auto executives, received a separate

:08:33. > :08:35.salary of $7.89 million last year as the head of Renault, Nissan's

:08:36. > :08:39.He stepped down as Nissan chief Executive at the end of March,

:08:40. > :08:49.but remains chairman of the Japanese company.

:08:50. > :08:51.Let's look at how the markets are doing.

:08:52. > :08:53.Japanese stocks edged towards two-year highs on Tuesday.

:08:54. > :08:56.Exporters benefited from a strong dollar, shares in Toyota,

:08:57. > :09:02.The dollar has risen in value as investors

:09:03. > :09:06.are expecting comments from Federal Reserve Chair Janet

:09:07. > :09:08.Yellen to support the Fed's projection for one more interest

:09:09. > :09:19.A softer open on the European markets.

:09:20. > :09:21.There's a general sense of caution in financial markets,

:09:22. > :09:24.according to analysts, noting that commodities like crude

:09:25. > :09:30.oil, which is suffering from a glut, remained shaky though,

:09:31. > :09:32.that said, it has stabilised, and the recent selloff has stalled.

:09:33. > :09:36.A slight lack of direction on Wall Street at the end of Monday

:09:37. > :09:38.trading, the S and Dow closed fairly flat.

:09:39. > :09:46.Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen is in London talking

:09:47. > :09:59.Traders will be tuning in to see in America's top Central Banker has

:10:00. > :10:02.anything to add on the Fed's decision earlier this month to raise

:10:03. > :10:04.interest rates for the third time since December.

:10:05. > :10:07.Now, her message is likely to emphasise that while the economy

:10:08. > :10:11.may not be overheating, the recovery in the US is strong

:10:12. > :10:13.enough for it to consider another rate hike this year.

:10:14. > :10:17.But will in-coming economic data reinforce that argument.

:10:18. > :10:20.Two pieces to watch this Tuesday is the case Shiller house price

:10:21. > :10:22.index as well as a report on consumer confidence.

:10:23. > :10:24.Meanwwhile Uber's search for a new CEO continues

:10:25. > :10:28.after the resignation of the founder Travis Kalanick last week.

:10:29. > :10:32.Among those reportedly in the running are former Yahoo CEO

:10:33. > :10:36.Marissa Mayer and Facebook's CEO, Cheryl Sandberg and the former Chief

:10:37. > :10:51.Joining us is Jane Foley, Senior Currency Strategist, Rabobank.

:10:52. > :11:01.You are doing markets with us, but I will mention a market related story

:11:02. > :11:05.that is now live -- that is on our live page. There was a dip in the

:11:06. > :11:12.gold price of 1.5% yesterday - tell us why and explain what fat fingered

:11:13. > :11:24.trade means. It means that the market has aggressively given as a

:11:25. > :11:27.price move. What happens is, there are various orders in the system

:11:28. > :11:35.that immediately get filled and the price moves back very aggressively.

:11:36. > :11:39.We call it a fat finger, which probably means somebody made a

:11:40. > :11:43.mistake. Literally, their finger is too fat and they have gone to press

:11:44. > :11:50.wonky and hit another one. It could have been that, or an extra zero,

:11:51. > :11:55.perhaps. Somebody somewhere is probably pretty embarrassed. When

:11:56. > :12:01.you do that... Sorry, but when you do that, I can imagine the horror if

:12:02. > :12:06.you had done that. Is there anyway to pull it back? It is likely

:12:07. > :12:12.someone is out of money somewhere. The system has a lot of trade stored

:12:13. > :12:19.up, so as soon as a certain price is hit, they get filled. Someone is

:12:20. > :12:23.very sadly probably out of pocket. You would think the system would

:12:24. > :12:28.detect unusual activity and flag it up before it is too late. The

:12:29. > :12:33.systems do have various safety nets all over the place, but you do

:12:34. > :12:37.sometimes see the sort of movement. We saw it with sterling not so long

:12:38. > :12:46.ago, with the gold market seven or eight years ago. It still happens.

:12:47. > :12:51.Today, we will hear from two big important people, the head of the

:12:52. > :12:56.Federal Reserve and the governor of the Bank of England. What we expect

:12:57. > :13:01.to hear? The Federal Reserve have been saying that they will raise

:13:02. > :13:06.interest rates this year, and three times next year, and they will start

:13:07. > :13:09.addressing their massive balance sheet which is a result of

:13:10. > :13:16.quantitative easing, by the end of this year. But the market is not

:13:17. > :13:21.convinced because the economic data in the US has been mixed,

:13:22. > :13:25.particularly in relation to inflation. The market expectation is

:13:26. > :13:33.that inflation will decline. This is why the market is not convinced, but

:13:34. > :13:36.the head of the Federal Reserve has insisted that inflation will rise as

:13:37. > :13:41.unemployment comes down. We will see. Thank you for the analysis.

:13:42. > :13:44.Would you buy your kids a backpack with wi-fi and GPS?

:13:45. > :13:46.We'll be talking to one businesswoman who is trying

:13:47. > :13:59.You're with Business Live from BBC News.

:14:00. > :14:01.50 years ago today, the world's first cash machine was installed

:14:02. > :14:11.outside a branch of Barclays in Enfield, London.

:14:12. > :14:14.Now there are 70,000 in the UK, and three million worldwide.

:14:15. > :14:16.The traditional 'hole in the wall' has come a long

:14:17. > :14:18.way in half a century, as Simon Gompertz reports.

:14:19. > :14:23.The first money from a hole in the wall.

:14:24. > :14:26.You put in a voucher and a code and you got ten ?1 notes.

:14:27. > :14:29.Reg Varney, a TV celebrity of the time, had a go

:14:30. > :14:36.Less a cash machine than a mini bank.

:14:37. > :14:39.On these ones, you can even open a bank account.

:14:40. > :14:41.Signing your name, it will take my photo as well just

:14:42. > :14:52.This one shows you if someone's looking over your shoulder

:14:53. > :14:54.to steal your pin code, reassurance you might want

:14:55. > :14:57.if they close your branch to replace it with a machine.

:14:58. > :15:00.We're moving towards and no bank branch era.

:15:01. > :15:03.We used to have about 20,000 bank branches in the UK

:15:04. > :15:10.Smart ATMs, as we're calling them, in the future will provide 99%

:15:11. > :15:16.of all the services that people can get from bank branches today.

:15:17. > :15:18.That is not a world everyone will welcome but the technology

:15:19. > :15:21.unleashed back in the '60s is still transforming the way

:15:22. > :15:40.This is a little quiz for you Ben. What do you think is 20% more

:15:41. > :15:45.expensive now than it was this time last year? Everything. That's how it

:15:46. > :15:52.feels. A grocery item. A grocery item. You might spread it on your

:15:53. > :15:59.toast. But ir. Very good! Butter is almost 20% more expensive than last

:16:00. > :16:04.year. Overall grocery inflation running at 3.2%. That's a lot to do

:16:05. > :16:10.with the fall in sterling, the general inflation that we're seeing

:16:11. > :16:17.and there is a picture of Lidl, the UK's fastest growing supermarket

:16:18. > :16:23.chain, sales growing there 18%. We are talking about the Western

:16:24. > :16:26.Digital bid for Toshiba, the chip business, there is more on that.

:16:27. > :16:28.It's all there, whenever you'd like to have a look.

:16:29. > :16:37.Or you can look at it via the app. Our top story, China's Premier Li

:16:38. > :16:43.Keqiang has been hailing the benefits of economic

:16:44. > :16:46.globalisation, saying it brings But he also warned the World

:16:47. > :16:50.Economic Forum in the north-east Chinese city of Dalian that fairness

:16:51. > :16:53.is essential or else people A quick look at how

:16:54. > :17:05.markets are faring. Slightly softer start to the

:17:06. > :17:10.beginning of the trading day across the main European indexes.

:17:11. > :17:13.And now let's get the inside track on a subject that will be music

:17:14. > :17:16.to every parent's ear - that is, being able to keep

:17:17. > :17:20.Well, our next company does just that with their range of unique

:17:21. > :17:24.Founded in 2009 by two working mums Gill Hayward and Kellie Forbes,

:17:25. > :17:35.They sell backpacks which transform into a portable entertainment system

:17:36. > :17:40.with a foldable desk. The bags are sold over the world.

:17:41. > :17:43.The company is now crowdfunding a new tech enabled bag

:17:44. > :17:47.With me is Gill Hayward, co-founder and director of YUU,

:17:48. > :17:49.a company that designs and produces a range of unique activity

:17:50. > :17:58.We have seen briefly images of the bag. We've got one here. This is the

:17:59. > :18:04.tech bag. It is, indeed. Quickly, it unzips. This comes down like a desk.

:18:05. > :18:08.There is lots of pockets. Lots of places for them to put their secret

:18:09. > :18:11.things and it's easy for the kids to carry. It's lightweight. You started

:18:12. > :18:18.off with a bag that wasn't tech enabled. You're crowdfunding for one

:18:19. > :18:23.that is. Explain to us how the crowdfunding process works? As a

:18:24. > :18:25.small business there are two challenges, resource and raising

:18:26. > :18:30.finance to bring the products to market. We have decided to reach out

:18:31. > :18:35.it our customers and supporters and help them crowdfund our new product.

:18:36. > :18:39.There is equity which we're not in this game or there is product raised

:18:40. > :18:46.crowdfunding. We are trying to bring the product to market with the help

:18:47. > :18:49.of people who pre-order in return for large discounts. They will buy

:18:50. > :18:53.the bag at a cheaper price and get it in nine months? Less than that.

:18:54. > :19:01.Because we're a children's product, Christmas is everything to us. We're

:19:02. > :19:05.crowdfunding now so we can deliver the product to market in time for

:19:06. > :19:10.November and December so Santa can deliver. Isn't the challenge trying

:19:11. > :19:13.to get kids away from tablets and smartphones. Surely that's what they

:19:14. > :19:18.want to be playing with and that's what you see a lot of parents using

:19:19. > :19:22.to keep them entertained? It is important that children can balance

:19:23. > :19:25.tech play and active play. When we designed the original range of

:19:26. > :19:31.products it was about did z kids being able to get out and about and

:19:32. > :19:34.do all the things they want to do with the entertainment on their

:19:35. > :19:37.back. We have snakes and ladders, pencils, pence and drawing and the

:19:38. > :19:42.kids love that as much, but they will spend time on screens. And we

:19:43. > :19:46.recognise that it's important now that the children can engage in tech

:19:47. > :19:51.in a more positive way. One of the reasons we created the GPs tracker

:19:52. > :19:55.bag was that children could track through as an add haven't turer and

:19:56. > :19:58.see where they have gone and count their steps and journeys and for

:19:59. > :20:03.parents it's about being able to track where the bag and the child.

:20:04. > :20:07.It's peace of mind. I can see the progression from the backpack that

:20:08. > :20:12.you created, you went on dragon's Den and you got funding and you

:20:13. > :20:16.thought how do we move on? A lot of stuff about tablets and wi-fi. This

:20:17. > :20:21.security element, the fact that parents can track their children, is

:20:22. > :20:24.that something that you have had mixed reviews on? I can imagine some

:20:25. > :20:29.parents would like that. Other people might be very against that. I

:20:30. > :20:33.think, you know, in this day and age most devices that people have, there

:20:34. > :20:37.is a tracking facility on it, you know, parents, most parents or

:20:38. > :20:40.carers have had that moment when a child has been late become from

:20:41. > :20:45.school and you felt very nervous so to be able to go o check the child's

:20:46. > :20:50.location or to check if a child has come in or out of a preset area or

:20:51. > :20:55.zone, the parents can do that on their app. Never lose the bag! Never

:20:56. > :20:59.lose the bag! Now, you have been running the business now for six or

:21:00. > :21:03.seven years, what would I say is the biggest challenge that you have

:21:04. > :21:06.faced? In the early days, it was actually managing demand. When we

:21:07. > :21:11.launched we sold our first products within minutes and we sold out our

:21:12. > :21:14.first container within weeks. In the early stages that challenge was

:21:15. > :21:19.being able to manage how do we get the production and meet the demand.

:21:20. > :21:22.Recently, it is in terms of fund-raising new product launches

:21:23. > :21:24.and grow the business if the way we want to and gain the finance and the

:21:25. > :21:29.working capital to be able to do that. You have launched your

:21:30. > :21:34.crowdfunding. You launched three weeks and you're almost half-way to

:21:35. > :21:39.what you need. Good luck with. Thank you very much for your time.

:21:40. > :21:41.In a moment, we'll take a look through the business pages,

:21:42. > :21:45.but first here's a quick reminder of how to get in touch with us.

:22:18. > :22:26.Let's see what other business stories the media have been taking

:22:27. > :22:31.an interest in. Dominic O'Connell is on set. We are going to talk about
