In a few minutes' time, it will be time to have a look at the

:00:00.:00:19.

International press. -- international.

:00:20.:00:21.

Now, it's time for World Business Report.

:00:22.:00:23.

China's Premier hails the opportunties of economic

:00:24.:00:25.

globalisation but warns against the dangers of unfair growth

:00:26.:00:27.

It's 50 years since the world's first cash machine sprung up

:00:28.:00:31.

in a London suburb - but does the ATM have a future?

:00:32.:00:36.

In the last hour or so, China's Premier Li Keqiang has been

:00:37.:00:54.

hailing the benefits of economic

:00:55.:00:55.

globalisation, saying it brings unpredencented opportunity for all.

:00:56.:00:57.

But he also warned the World Economic Forum in the north-east

:00:58.:01:01.

Chinese city of Dalian that fairness is essential,

:01:02.:01:02.

or else people will feel left behind by the rapid

:01:03.:01:05.

But it's not necessarily that straight forward,

:01:06.:01:09.

because many countries are caught in a wave

:01:10.:01:11.

of political populism, which means their leaders

:01:12.:01:13.

For instance, the hosts China have their work cut out just

:01:14.:01:17.

to provide the economic growth to keep living standards

:01:18.:01:19.

After the USA, China is the world's second largest economy,

:01:20.:01:26.

with a value of $11 trillion - they account for almost 15%

:01:27.:01:29.

of what the world produces each year.

:01:30.:01:37.

However, it's home to 19% of the world's population.

:01:38.:01:41.

With the number of people growing, so too are the number and size

:01:42.:01:44.

For example, the brand new eco city of Xiongan which will house 2.5

:01:45.:01:52.

All those people are also fuelling the government's ambitions for China

:01:53.:01:57.

It's already home to almost 100 unicorns -

:01:58.:02:01.

private companies worth more than $1 billion -

:02:02.:02:03.

their combined value is estimated at a staggering $445.6 billion.

:02:04.:02:06.

And some of the best known names with global ambitions are Decacorns.

:02:07.:02:09.

Start-ups worth over $10 billion - such as Ali Baba's Ant Financial,

:02:10.:02:12.

smartphone-maker Xiaomi and Tencent Music.

:02:13.:02:22.

Let's hear a bit of China's Premier Li Keqiang told the meeting

:02:23.:02:25.

Globalisation is changing our world with an unprecedented speed, rats

:02:26.:02:37.

and depth. It has provided limitless opportunities for all economies. But

:02:38.:02:43.

if inadequate measures are taken, it may lack inclusive growth. In other

:02:44.:02:48.

words, it will create a problem of Venice -- growth. Some people will

:02:49.:02:54.

benefit more than other groups, and traditional industries and jobs may

:02:55.:02:55.

feel the impact. With me is Linda Yueh,

:02:56.:03:03.

who is Professor of Economics Let's start ith that

:03:04.:03:05.

issue of fairness, in a country with such a huge

:03:06.:03:19.

population, how can China ensure that all of it's population benefit

:03:20.:03:22.

equally from globalisation? In some ways, China has already

:03:23.:03:30.

managed globalisation somewhat better than other countries. China

:03:31.:03:35.

is on the cusp of eradicating extreme poverty. It means that there

:03:36.:03:45.

could be, less than 3% who live on a dollar 95 per day. So, in absolute

:03:46.:03:50.

terms, growth in China is already more inclusive. But there is still

:03:51.:03:57.

this idea that China is not an equal society. The political backlash we

:03:58.:04:01.

have seen in other countries, such as in Europe or the United States,

:04:02.:04:13.

where it is felt that globalisation benefits ridiculous sectors, that

:04:14.:04:21.

inequality can lead to political unrest. That is something that China

:04:22.:04:25.

is very worried about. More importantly, China has begun to take

:04:26.:04:30.

a global role on the world stage to say, this is how we should change

:04:31.:04:35.

globalisation. It is partially a reaction to Donald Trump pulling

:04:36.:04:38.

back. But I think China's track record is not as good, they are as

:04:39.:04:44.

unequal as the United States even though China is Communist.

:04:45.:04:48.

What does China want to get out of this?

:04:49.:04:52.

The Prime Minister speaks there every year. It is the only event

:04:53.:04:59.

that takes place outside of the meeting in January in Switzerland.

:05:00.:05:03.

It is really intended to highlight Chinese businesses. Now, we can name

:05:04.:05:08.

a few Chinese businesses, but it would have been a struggle a few

:05:09.:05:17.

years ago. So, the goal is to highlight their tech companies and

:05:18.:05:24.

show that China is innovative. It can grow, because it is now home to

:05:25.:05:32.

hundreds of big tech companies. It reassures a lot of people that with

:05:33.:05:37.

the focus on technology and innovation, that China will continue

:05:38.:05:41.

to expand in a stable way, even if growth slows down to six and a half

:05:42.:05:48.

% or more. We also heard China say again that they are not going to

:05:49.:05:52.

have a hard landing. We will have to see whether businesses really

:05:53.:06:01.

address what is on the mind of the lot don't make a lot of China's

:06:02.:06:06.

economists, that is the amount of debt that is accumulating in the

:06:07.:06:11.

system. I think that is what is to watch for.

:06:12.:06:14.

It's 50 years to the day since the world's first cash machine

:06:15.:06:17.

or ATM was opened at the Enfield branch

:06:18.:06:20.

There are now three million of them around the world.

:06:21.:06:24.

But in an era where we increasingly use everything but cash to pay

:06:25.:06:28.

for the stuff we buy, does the technology that was once

:06:29.:06:31.

1967, a revolution. The first money from a hole in the wall. You put in

:06:32.:06:45.

a voucher and a code, and he got ten ?1 notes. This television celebrity

:06:46.:06:50.

had a go, and the cash machine was born. This is what we've come to.

:06:51.:06:57.

There is a Banksia, on these ones, you can open a bank account, sign in

:06:58.:07:04.

your name, it will take my photo as well. Just to prove that it's me.

:07:05.:07:10.

You will be able to see and talk to bank staff directly on the screen.

:07:11.:07:16.

You can take out money using your mobile phone. You don't have to have

:07:17.:07:20.

a card. We are light years ahead of 50 years ago. Is this the sort of

:07:21.:07:26.

banking we actually want? We are doing our banking on our mobile

:07:27.:07:31.

phones and laptops. Why do I need to do it at a cash machine? You are not

:07:32.:07:38.

the only user. The machine is a piece of real estate. What can you

:07:39.:07:43.

do at a kiosk with an expensive real estate? What can you bring to it?

:07:44.:07:53.

It's a piece of real estate which changed our lives, because he did

:07:54.:07:56.

not have to worry about when banks might be open. Never accept money

:07:57.:08:06.

from strangers! Now cash itself is under threat thanks to mobile

:08:07.:08:12.

phones. The chief cashier agrees the cash machine has to do other things.

:08:13.:08:18.

Even if you can do something else, people will be looking at what else

:08:19.:08:23.

they can do. They might be looking at trading shares on a cash machine.

:08:24.:08:27.

I think some people will be striving to get more from that machine. You

:08:28.:08:32.

want to get a 1-stop shop. This one will show you if someone is looking

:08:33.:08:37.

over your shoulder, reassurance you might want if they close your bank

:08:38.:08:44.

branch to replace it with a machine. We used to have about 20,000 bank

:08:45.:08:49.

branches in the UK, soon we will have 4000. Future ATMs will actually

:08:50.:08:57.

provide 99% of all the services that people can get from bank branches

:08:58.:09:01.

today. It is not a weld everyone will welcome, but the technology

:09:02.:09:06.

unleashed in the 1960s is still transforming the way we bank, half a

:09:07.:09:08.

century later. The latest prosposal to reform

:09:09.:09:09.

the US healthcare system would leave about 22 million Americans

:09:10.:09:16.

without medical insurance. The version proposed

:09:17.:09:18.

by Senate Republicans has been assessed by the non-partisan

:09:19.:09:20.

Congressional Budget Office. They also say it would reduce

:09:21.:09:26.

the budget deficit by $321 billion, thanks to cuts to Medicaid,

:09:27.:09:30.

which provides health cover The White House has rejected

:09:31.:09:32.

the accuracy of the assessment. Lot's of noises from the US

:09:33.:09:38.

supporting further interest rate That's it from me. I will be back

:09:39.:09:55.

with the paper review in a few minutes.

:09:56.:10:00.

The amount of taxpayer money the Queen receives to carry
