:00:38. > :00:51.Also in the programme putting 3D printing to good use -

:00:52. > :00:53.we hear how this new tech can is helping those

:00:54. > :00:55.who desperately need prosthetic limbs.

:00:56. > :01:03.The European Central Bank has told the failing Italian lender Monte dei

:01:04. > :01:07.Paschi di Siena that it needs 8 point 8 billion euro -

:01:08. > :01:14.That is quite a bit more than a previous estimate

:01:15. > :01:22.On Friday the Italian government approved a decree to bail out

:01:23. > :01:24.Monte dei Paschi - the worlds oldest bank

:01:25. > :01:28.after it failed to win investor backing for the desperately

:01:29. > :01:33.The bank, which has been crippled by years of losses and loans that

:01:34. > :01:37.The fear is that it's collapse could have triggered further

:01:38. > :01:40.failures among banks in Italy, and potentially start a new European

:01:41. > :01:49.With me is Dr Andreas Hoepner, Associate Professor of Finance,

:01:50. > :01:56.at the ICMA Centre of Henley Business School.

:01:57. > :02:05.Good to see you. We have taught about this already. But these latest

:02:06. > :02:14.details coming from the European Central Bank but other high-profile

:02:15. > :02:20.agencies in Germany? It is becoming more complicated, it is becoming

:02:21. > :02:24.more of an European issue because it is the first time the new

:02:25. > :02:30.regulations will be tested and it will be interesting for banks all

:02:31. > :02:35.over Europe and some banks may decide to use that little bit in

:02:36. > :02:45.their risk-taking and say the President of the German bank voiced

:02:46. > :02:50.concerns. There are arguments of the European rules are meant to take

:02:51. > :02:57.institutional investors into consideration to share the losses. A

:02:58. > :03:03.lot of retail investors in Italy have invested. To put this into

:03:04. > :03:07.perspective, that we are saying is that in order for this bank to be

:03:08. > :03:11.bailed out and rescue, the bond holders would have to take a major

:03:12. > :03:18.haircut and a lot are private individuals. Many have held a share

:03:19. > :03:24.of this bank for many, many years, assuming they would get that money

:03:25. > :03:30.back and some interest. Exactly. Private individuals may lose some of

:03:31. > :03:36.their savings. They are trying to keep the senior bondholders from

:03:37. > :03:44.losing anything. And also those from having a bit more risk should get

:03:45. > :03:49.involved and get a haircut. However to retail investors it is

:03:50. > :03:54.subordinate. In Italy they only have a Prime Minister who has been there

:03:55. > :03:58.since the 12th of December, it could lead to new elections, a very

:03:59. > :04:03.difficult political situation in Italy and this is a large number of

:04:04. > :04:09.people that could be impacted by this decision? Political

:04:10. > :04:14.implications in Italy but also around Europe potentially so my

:04:15. > :04:19.expectation would be that the story will continue beyond the French

:04:20. > :04:23.elections. Thank you for coming in and I am sure we will talk to you

:04:24. > :04:26.about it again. We will keep a close eye on this on the BBC World News.

:04:27. > :04:31.Japanese conglomerate Toshiba Corp says it's considering booking

:04:32. > :04:34.a one-off loss of about 100 billion yen - that's $850 million -

:04:35. > :04:39.on a US Nuclear power acquisition made by its Westinghouse

:04:40. > :04:48.Leisha Chi is in our Asia Business Hub in Singapore.

:04:49. > :05:01.Nice to see you. More problem sport Toshiba? The troubles do not seem to

:05:02. > :05:05.end for Toshiba. We saw them have their shares plunged by as much as

:05:06. > :05:14.16% in Tokyo today on these concerns are that it will rack massive loss

:05:15. > :05:20.in the nuclear business. This is the biggest decline for their shares

:05:21. > :05:29.since May 2015 and according to reports it may lose as much as 4.3

:05:30. > :05:35.billion US dollars. I would be the lower scale of that loss. Toshiba

:05:36. > :05:38.said in a statement that do not know the source of this report and they

:05:39. > :05:42.are assessing the current value of its assets but investors are

:05:43. > :05:47.concerned because Toshiba has a week finances and any further loss would

:05:48. > :05:54.really damaged their books because I had the massive accounting scandal

:05:55. > :06:00.that led to record loss and three of their company had to step down. They

:06:01. > :06:05.received a fine from regulators that last year was not shareholders are

:06:06. > :06:11.really unhappy with Toshiba at the moment. This is another problem for

:06:12. > :06:16.the company to face so it will not be a happy holiday in the Toshiba

:06:17. > :06:17.boardroom. Thank you for updating us on that.

:06:18. > :06:21.It's estimated that 4 out of every 10,000 babies is born missing either

:06:22. > :06:23.a hand or the lower part of their arm.

:06:24. > :06:27.Prosthetics can be extremely expensive and children soon outgrow

:06:28. > :06:31.them - which prompted two British dads to use their spare time

:06:32. > :06:34.and cash to see what they could do to help.

:06:35. > :06:56.This nine-year rod was born without a hand. The video of her receiving

:06:57. > :07:02.her first 3-D printing prosthetics went viral after it was picked up by

:07:03. > :07:07.Google as a highlight of the year. Her mother said it has given her a

:07:08. > :07:13.huge boost. When she took it into school, just the reaction from her

:07:14. > :07:23.friends, how cool. You have to bend your elbow and then it will tighten

:07:24. > :07:40.the strings and it will bring... It will make the fingers make a feast

:07:41. > :07:46.so you can hold things. -- fist. You will not believe the size of this

:07:47. > :07:54.operation. This is where we built, designed, print 3-D arms for

:07:55. > :07:58.children. Stephen and drew met because Stephen was searching for an

:07:59. > :08:06.affordable for himself. They now work together in their spare time

:08:07. > :08:13.and relying on funding donations. Show us your hand. This is the hand

:08:14. > :08:18.that drew originally built me. It got me so enthused that I knew

:08:19. > :08:26.straightaway I wanted to get involved and do the same thing. It

:08:27. > :08:34.has been a passion, really, the children, where they have either no

:08:35. > :08:38.option or a poor option, I think that is where I needed to make a

:08:39. > :08:43.change. The 3-D printer I'm cost less than ?30 each to produce but it

:08:44. > :08:49.does not work for all prosthetics. The reason it is not normally used

:08:50. > :08:53.is because the materials and used cannot take the stresses and strains

:08:54. > :09:01.associated with the weight of the body, running, twisting, walking et

:09:02. > :09:05.cetera. Isabella can now walk the family dog.

:09:06. > :09:18.Amazing. That is all from me for now I will see you soon. Bye-bye.
