The uk leaves the eu. Resident ron heads back home to the us from asia with billions of dollars worth of contracts for American Companies but could he sealed a deal with china . President trump. And the numbers dont like, Wearable Technology telling sports coach is how hard their teams are working. Welcomed Asia Business report. I am Sharanjit LeylAsia Business report. I am Sharanjit Leyl. Its been a world wind a whirlwind tour of asia for president donald trump, a difficult task to reassure americas allies in the region, persuade china to pressure north korea and demonstrate the us is still willing to do business with asia. I spoke to ian bremner earlier and asked how successful his being. It was moving forward with the Trans Pacific partnership, it was moving forward with the tra ns pacific partnership, the it was moving forward with the Trans Pacific partnership, the tpp 11, Trans Pacific partnership, the tpp ii, which does not involve the United States. Trump did get a number of headline bilateral investment deals signed, some of which are new, some not. Not unusual, a lot of president s do that. China, trump has said, and i think this is a victory, hes gotten the chinese to do more in punishing the chinese to do more in punishing the North Koreans are a number of things they have done to upset the need the international community, nuclear missiles, the chinese supporting trump and the chinese are upset with kim jong un but supporting trump and the chinese are upset with kimjong un but in supporting trump and the chinese are upset with kim jong un but in terms of access of american corporations to the chinese market, intellectual property being stolen and technology tra nsfers, property being stolen and technology transfers, most importantly what the chinese are doing in it and technology, the americans are getting nothing of what they want and certainly in terms the trade deficit. No movement. We know there has been billions of dollars of deals announced. What that goes some way to plucking that huge trade deficit . Not really. These ideals which are going to play out in headline numbers which are great. Some of them need to actually get implemented. We see the final numbers usually are not. They initially announced. Thats not unusualfor initially announced. Thats not unusual for trump. It happens all the time with president ial visits. Under mentally, the importance of trade architecture being driven everywhere but the United States is much more impactful on things like trade deficits that any one off deals. Would you agree that trumps America First policy is essentially, by nature, protectionist . Is turning his back free trade . Its interesting. I would say more economic nationalists. He wants a bilateral trade deal which is more attractive for the americans. Shinzo abe is one of trumps best friends, if not best friend internationally, and said absolutely not. That tells you a lot of what you need to know. That was ian bremmer talking about those deals. Max morrison is here with a more detailed look. You heard him saying that the headline numbers are good. Donald trump fancies himself as the dealmaker in chief. The headline figure is quite significant. The lions share coming from china including some blue chip names like boeing and qualcomm. Japan and vietnams and south korea. The philippines is work in progress. They have made promises, no hard deals coming through. It is business. The men around of understanding. Deals down the road, not legally binding. These things dont happen overnight. They take legal groundwork. If you look at one particular sector, and that is energy. Major deals were announced. The biggest of them, 15 billion into alaska and if confirmed, it is significant because given all the political concerns over Chinese Companies investing in america, that such a deal would go through. An a nalyst such a deal would go through. An analyst i spoke to earlier said a lot of this was for perception. Good politics, we will see if its good business. Of course. We know with donald trump, is America First polity is geared towards bringing jobs back to america. Are any of these deals going to achieve that . Jobs, absolutely. He loves to say bringing jobs back to america. That Alaska Project we were talking about, up to 12,000. But the energy a nalyst about, up to 12,000. But the Energy Analyst i spoke to say there has dashed those were American Constructionjobs, dashed those were American Construction jobs, 4 5 years, dashed those were American Constructionjobs, 4 5 years, laying cement and welding and steel, they are not long term jobs. Again, perceptions, look at all these jobs. Long term, not as much. You mentioned qualcomm. They are in the news because they have turned down a 130 billion bid and this could set the stage for a bitter fight in the world of mobile technology. Singapore based broadcom made the offer at the chief of qualcomm says it undervalues the company. Shares in barbie toymaker mattel had jumped over rumours of a takeover by hasbro.

We look at how technology and sports is changing the game. In again, in again. Be patient, be patient. With these things, what we could not do before, if there is a low intensity of training and you come to him after and you say, look, you have to push again, it is coming, you are not doing anything. Today, nobody can hide any more. That it is a game changer for sports, especially elite sports. Technology has givena especially elite sports. Technology has given a new dimensional to the world of football. They capture the signals of the gps or the american and russian satellites and from there, they capture all the movements of the players on the pitch. Crunching numbers, it is very small. And this shows how high the play was working. You dont necessarily want to look at the distance. Another player runs from a to b, 50 metres, might sprint, jump, jog. To b, 50 metres, might sprint, jump, jog, and they calculate that. Staying with sport, the first time in 60 years, italy has been eliminated from the football world cup finals next year in russia.

The church of england has updated its advice for its a700 schools to protect children who may be considering transition from one gender to another. Being an individual is very important and respecting everybodys right to be an individual is important to was so if children arent themselves then they cant be free to learn and that is key.

Todays guidance is designed to prevent bullying in schools like this but on the issue of human sexuality, there is deep Division Within the church of england and some evangelical christians see todays announcement as an attempt todays announcement as an attempt to erode the authority of the bible and embrace an ever changing culture. What people expect the church of england to do is to set forth the framework for living as set out in the bible, that we all made wonderfully in the image of god, mailand made wonderfully in the image of god, mail and female, made wonderfully in the image of god, mailand female, and made wonderfully in the image of god, mail and female, and the church of england today seems to have failed in its duty to say that to the nation.
