:01:50. > :01:56.Apple has been on a steady decline since reaching its record high. It

:01:56. > :02:01.is hovering at around $400 at the moment. That trend is worrying to

:02:24. > :02:28.Make the mistake, they remain hugely successful. They are the

:03:00. > :03:09.line-up may not be enough to stop customers and investors who are

:03:09. > :03:13.eager to take a bite out of something new. The real focus is

:03:13. > :03:19.everyone wants to know what they will say later. We will let you

:03:19. > :03:25.know on the BBC. Let's look at China. Growth in its vast factory

:03:25. > :03:30.sector dipped in April as new export orders shrank. That is the

:03:30. > :03:37.finding of an initial survey of factory managers which is done by

:03:37. > :03:46.HSBC a few hours ago. Rico Hizon is in Singapore. Nice to see you. More

:03:46. > :03:49.news to say that China is struggling. Absolutely. The data

:03:49. > :03:59.was a disappointment after manufacturing expanded the previous

:03:59. > :04:09.month. The economy still faces major global obstacles. The

:04:09. > :04:13.

:04:13. > :04:23.eurozone is still mired in a recession. This initially HSBC

:04:23. > :04:23.

:04:23. > :04:27.purchasing managers' index fell to 50.5 in the month of April. That is

:04:27. > :04:34.compared to 51.6 last month. The number is still above 50. That is

:04:35. > :04:40.still an expansion in the economy. It has been suggested that the cash

:04:40. > :04:45.moving around the economy is still not having the desired effect of

:04:45. > :04:51.jump-start in growth. Instead, it could exacerbate property and the

:04:51. > :05:01.risk of inflation. The government is expected to step up once again.

:05:01. > :05:03.

:05:03. > :05:08.They will boost investment and consumption. There will be a more

:05:08. > :05:12.sustainable domestic expansion pathos dog thank you for keeping us

:05:12. > :05:17.up to date. One of the most powerful bankers in

:05:17. > :05:21.the world is in London for the Goldman Sachs 10,000 small

:05:21. > :05:28.businesses programme. It equips entrepreneurs to run their own

:05:28. > :05:32.businesses. Kevin Davis met up with him to find out why so many small

:05:33. > :05:40.businesses find it difficult to borrow money from banks. There is a

:05:40. > :05:49.lot of liquidity in the world. There are small businesses that are

:05:49. > :05:53.starving for cash. A lot of banks are not investing that cash. We are

:05:53. > :06:03.and investing bank. We are not a lending bank. In a recessionary

:06:03. > :06:07.

:06:07. > :06:14.time, the risks of enterprises are higher. Banks are afraid of taking

:06:14. > :06:20.losses. There are repercussions of losses. They are very conservative.

:06:20. > :06:24.The market pressure is for them to be conservative. As a result of

:06:24. > :06:29.that Conservatism, the market transaction is less likely to be

:06:29. > :06:39.done in this market than it was in a previous time. Has finance become

:06:39. > :06:43.too complicated? You have even delivers some results for

:06:43. > :06:48.shareholders. It is complicated. It is all derivative. It is

:06:48. > :06:53.complicated. The basics do not need to be complicated. The basics of

:06:53. > :06:56.banking are still the same. The problem that you just correctly

:06:57. > :07:04.described, there is nothing complicated about that at all. You

:07:04. > :07:08.lend out money. And, by the way, lending money for a financial

:07:08. > :07:13.institution is the riskiest thing you can do. You send money out the

:07:13. > :07:18.door and you hope it comes back. More than hope, you do work, credit

:07:18. > :07:23.analysis, but, at the end of the day, you have to hope it comes back.

:07:23. > :07:29.When you deal with an economy that is where the growth is not

:07:29. > :07:33.necessarily building, it is an economic downturn, it should not

:07:33. > :07:39.just be someone failed to pay you back but it could be because they

:07:39. > :07:45.could not, they are not making money themselves. When will we be

:07:45. > :07:49.back in what we call normal times? Anything you are living through

:07:49. > :07:53.seems extraordinary. Normal Times is when you are writing your

:07:53. > :07:58.memoirs. The statistics were different in the late 1970s. That

:07:58. > :08:04.was a bad time. It is hard to feel the weight of it because it is

:08:04. > :08:10.resolved and over. That was interesting. The chief executive of

:08:10. > :08:17.Goldman Sachs. Let's squeeze in more business. British Airways has

:08:17. > :08:23.ordered more or Airbus A350 aircraft. They are talking to both

:08:23. > :08:31.Airbus and Boeing about supplying aircraft to the Spanish arm, Iberia.

:08:31. > :08:36.This is the end of the deal. The rating agency Standard and Poor's

:08:36. > :08:39.is saying it sees more than a one- third chance that it could

:08:39. > :08:43.downgrade to plan's sovereign ratings because of uncertainty

:08:43. > :08:53.about whether the government's peers to solve growth and inflation

:08:53. > :08:54.

:08:54. > :08:58.will work. Just a few minutes ago, the Civil Aviation Authority in

:08:58. > :09:01.Japan said final authorisation to resume flights may come as early as

:09:01. > :09:06.Thursday. Boeing is replacing batteries and some of the grounded

:09:06. > :09:14.fleet. It is moving a step closer to getting the dream liners flying

:09:14. > :09:19.again. It comes on the back of a revamped battery design. The entire

:09:20. > :09:29.fleet of 787s had been grounded. Deliveries at been grounded. -- all
