who survived a Taliban attack less than two years ago, is publishing a | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
new version of her big especially year towards younger readers. Those | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
are the latest headlines, now it is time for the latest financial news | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
with Sally. On the back foot call on HTC | :00:08. | :00:26. | |
launches a new forum. Will it garner any excitement? The Chinese buy into | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
the American dream, snapping up some lucrative properties from California | :00:35. | :00:35. | |
to New York. Hello and a very warm welcome. Let's | :00:36. | :00:51. | |
start the programme with the Taiwanese smart phone maker, HTC. | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
They are expected to take the wraps off their latest phone today. It is | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
a Windows phone version of its Android one M8. The company is no | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
longer in fashion. Its share of the smart phone is small. The stock | :01:11. | :01:23. | |
price has fallen some 90%. Can HTC change the tide and excite smart | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
phone users again. I am joined by our technology experts to get his | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
view on what the company will reveal today. They are likely to reveal a | :01:36. | :01:48. | |
Windows version of the HTC One M8. It has done well. It could go the | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
company back into profit after a long series of descending quarters. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
It has been well received and is keeping the company alive. Whether | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
the Windows version will be any good, I do not know. It has had good | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
reviews. Why do they not have more market share. There is not a lot of | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
excitement about the forum. Any mobile phone maker who is not | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
Samsung or Apple, these companies have the market divided between | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
them. They have the most successful phones. Inside most smart phones, | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
they are much the same. The same chips, the same screens, the same | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
batteries. You tend to go with fashion rather than picking one | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
phone for a technical specification. With the HTC having such a small | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
share of the market, there must be a smaller number of applications. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Windows phones have smaller numbers of applications. New Windows phones | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
are coming out with the support of Microsoft, who are desperate to be | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
there as an alternative. They only have a few percent of the market for | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Windows. If you're writing software, you will not right for them, you | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
will write for Android or Apple. It seems like they are still on the | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
market. Microsoft have done this for a long time. It is not really taking | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
off. This has been going on since the late 1990s. How long is it going | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
to be before this changes? We will watch the launch and see how well it | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
goes down. Give us your thoughts on that. The Economist's intelligence | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
unit has ranked countries around the world according to healthcare, | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
culture and environment. There is the nicest place to live? The man | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
who noses recall he's on. He is in Singapore. `` the man who knows is | :03:59. | :04:12. | |
Rico Hizon. The top ten is led by Melbourne. Number one for the four | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
viewer in a row. The NN second place and Vancouver in third. Australia | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
did not just take the top spot. Adelaide, Sydney and Perth were all | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
given positions in the top ten most liveable cities in the world. The | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
score tied for stability, healthcare and education. The only European | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
city in the top ten is Helsinki. Take a look at the top ten cities | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
and also the worst performers and livability. At the bottom of the | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
list is the massacres in Syria. Tripoli, Libya, and Saint Petersburg | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
also round out the list as well as Athens and Greece. The survey found | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
that since 2009, livability across the world has fallen by about 1%. | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
That is due to a fall in stability and safety in many cities. | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
How did Singapore and London do? Surprisingly not even close to the | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
top ten or the top 30. Singapore was 52 and London was 55. Not a whole | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
lot of difference between the two cities in the survey but, if you | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
break down, Singapore came out in top in terms of stability, safety, | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
infrastructure. London scored again culture, environment and education. | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
In healthcare, both cities with similar scores. The bottom line, | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
according to this global livability ranting, still very good places to | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
do business. So we are in some fairly decent | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
cities, you and I, but not in the top ten. Thank you for joining us. | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
Very interesting. When it comes to cities that excite | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
the Chinese, they have their eyes fixed on the Chinese. There are a | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
growing number of Chinese people looking to invest their cash in the | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
listed in the biggest economy in the world. Myers spent $22 billion, 72% | :06:12. | :06:19. | |
more than they did the day before, snapping up high`end homes from | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
California to New York City. Let's get more from Manhattan. Michelle. | :06:23. | :06:31. | |
On the New York property market, the rich always in high. Manhattan's | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
luxury towers are home to the superrich. The realist rivals are | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
the Chinese. `` newest arrivals. This high`end estate agent took me | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
on a tour of Carlton House, a luxury apartment building in Manhattan. She | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
has seen a number of Chinese clients grow in recent years. The report | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
from the first 2/4 is that the artfully 25% Asian buyers. This is a | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
mind blowing number. It means one quarter of every sale in buildings | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
like this is coming from Asia. We have do anticipate and project that | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
this number will get larger. This woman has swapped Beijing for the | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
big Apple, where she lives and works. In a city that never sleeps, | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
she has a place to call home. The flat she moved into three weeks ago | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
is that place. It is all about price stability for me. I feel like it is | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
safer to move the money from China to New York. China's rapid economic | :07:40. | :07:51. | |
expansion has brought wealth to many of its citizens. Coupled with the | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
rise in price against the dollar and the killing of his own property | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
market, it is easy to see via America is suddenly such an | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
appealing investment. I describe luxury real estate is the new global | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
currency. The idea that investors are circling the gold, looking to | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
article, looking to preserve capital. The ascent of high`end cash | :08:14. | :08:20. | |
buyers could have implications for the affordability of housing in New | :08:21. | :08:21. | |
York for everyone. In other business news, the US | :08:22. | :08:34. | |
`based oil and gas giant, Apache Corporation, says it has discovered | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
a big oil well off the coast of Australia. Estimates say could be | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
the largest find in Australia for decades. The well still being | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
evaluated but could result in as many as 300 million barrels of oil. | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
Its potential has been described as extraordinary. The largest mining | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
company in the world, BHP Billiton, is preparing to release full year | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
results today. They are considering a restructure. At the merger is its | :09:02. | :09:08. | |
preferred option, with the company keen to spend off assets that are | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
not important. Results could come out as early as today. When we hear | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
from BHP Billiton in terms of its results, I will update you. Results | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
come out and about 80 minutes. It has been strongly on the markets. It | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
follows its from the United States as well. The Dow Jones is up to 1%. | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
Almost the same for the NASDAQ. A lot of it is to do with the | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
situation in terms of the geopolitical crisis around the | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
world. It looks like things could be improving as opposed to worsening. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
That is all from me for now. I will see you later when we look through | :09:50. | :09:50. | |
the papers. As Sally said, the papers coming up | :09:51. | :10:04. | |
in a moment. First, the government has then eyed that the prison system | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
is in crisis. The Justice Secretary has admitted that violence, | :10:12. | :10:12. |
