Now for the latest financial news with Sally

The stock market is set to open as usual and businesses prove

resilient but safe havens like gold and the Japanese yen gain ground.

Japan falls back into recession for the second time since

France is trying to return to some sort of normality after the attacks

The stock market will open as usual this morning

and there is expected to be a big drop at the open but most analysts

agree that knee jerk reaction will be short lived and a prolonged

Public transport should be running as normal today in France,

Museums and some other attractions will also open as usual,

but more vulnerable sites, such as the Eiffel tower will remain closed,

as will Disneyland Paris, which will remain closed until Wednesday.

To talk us through the long-term effects on the French

economy I'm joined by Yannick Naud, a London based French financial

As we have just outlined, as much as possible, France is trying to have a

normal week in terms of stock markets and business. It will be

business as usual. The stock market will open as it always does. What we

have seen from the markets in Asia is that the market is likely to be

slightly down but nothing near what could have been estimated early in

the weekend. All in all, we think that tourism and transportation

should be the most affected in terms of the stock market, maybe luxury

and insurance as well but the impact will be small. In terms of the

nature of this terrorist attack, it happened well after the markets

closed across Europe on Friday, so the whole weekend has taken place

and people are digesting what has happened. Why and what the outcome

could be on the French economy. That helps, doesn't it? For it to be a

more rational response? Exactly. If we consider what happened with the

July seven bombings in London and the attacks in March of 2004, those

attacks happened in market hours and we saw a sharp market fall in some

kind of panic. This is a horrific event but it was after the markets

closed and therefore, investors had plenty of time to see what would be

rational in terms of investing in the French economy. All in all, the

impact is quite small. It cannot be underestimated, also, the response

on the part of those around the world, globally but also in France

in terms of solidarity. Is anything, businesses are supported in these

situations, aren't they -- if? Yes, we often see stronger consumer

spending in some resilience when these things happen, because people

don't want to be changing their way of life. They think that by spending

a bit more, they will do their part for the economy. All in all, it is

likely to be not a huge event for the long-term. And it could have

been any capital city in Europe or anywhere in the world for that

matter. This is a global risk, it is something that cannot be priced in

or predicted, therefore it is just something that financial markets,

globally, have to get used to. Yes, unfortunately terrorism can happen

anywhere. As we have seen this weekend, some of the people were

coming from Belgium or Germany, they could come from anywhere in Europe.

There could be an industrial accident, these are things you

cannot price out in advance. All in all, the impact is quite small.

Thank you for coming in. In terms of reactions, markets in Asia opened

lower because of what happened. The euro is at a six-month low at the

moment against the US dollar and some shares in Asia like airline

stocks, for example, are being affected. We will keep across the

reaction as it happens in Europe as the day begins here later.

Japan's economy slipped back into a technical recession.

That's two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth

after the economy shrank by almost 1% in the three months

Mariko Oi is in our Asia Business Hub in Singapore.

It would seem, Abenomics is not doing the trick, talk us through

this news? That is definitely what critics of Shinzo Abe's very

aggressive economic policies will be arguing after today's figures. The

economy shrunk by 0.8% in the most recent quarter. In the previous

quarter, it shrank by 0.7% which means two consecutive quarters of

negative growth, meaning the economy is back in recession. This is the

fourth recession since the global financial crisis and the first since

the introduction of Abenomics, so a lot of debate over whether there

will be any more stimulus to boost the economy or whether, as Shinzo

Abe's supporters would say, the effects would take longer to kick

in. There are two main reasons for the contraction of the economy,

first Lady, as we always keep talking about, China's slowing

growth affects Japan's exporters but also spending by businesses shrunk

despite those companies reporting record profits. They failed to pass

that on to their employees by raising their wages and they are not

really investing just yet. Consumer spending continues to pick up at

least, even though the sales tax was raised at the end of the year, which

initially affected spending power. Super. Thank you for that news

coming out of Japan. If you want to launch a product,

start a business, The bank, perhaps,

the three F's family friends and fools, if you're lucky or you could

ask the whole world to fund it. One of the places to do that is

Crowdfunding service Kickstarter. Since its launch in 2009 it's taken

payment from 7.8 million backers for projects and it recently passed

$2 billion worth of pledges. One of the co-founders is

Yancey Strickler and he spoke to the BBC as part of our CEO secrets

season about what he'd learnt. Creativity and integrity are

everything. It is important to approach each problem and each

question and thinking very broadly about all the possibilities and to

pursue a solution that you feel proud of, that you feel is right and

morally correct. If you take shortcuts, if you tried to do things

the wrong way, there is a serious price to pay. You always need to act

in a way of which you will be proud. If you do that, I think only the

best things can happen. In other news: Africa's biggest

mobile company, MTN has until today to pay

a $5.2 billion fine from Nigeria. The fine amounts to double MTN's

profit last year and was for failing to cut

off unregistered mobile users. The boss

of the company resigned last week saying it was "in the interest of

the company and its shareholders". The company is

in talks to reduce the fine. Let's show you how trading is going

at the moment. As we mentioned, Asia has some reaction to those events in

Paris on Friday. Losses across the board. This is the euro trading

versus the dollar and the pound, other currencies, some airline

stocks are having a tough time at the moment in anticipation that this

will deter people from travelling to Europe from Asia. That is all from

us, I will see you soon. The government is to announce new

funding for the security agencies MI5, MI6

and GCHQ in next week's Strategic
