Google is launching its streaming Gaming Platform called Google Stadia today. The platform offers games on a subscription basis that plays from googles servers. This means there are no discs, physical media or devices involved and the games will play on computers, tablets or mobile phones. Stadia will launch with 22 games, which some critics say is not enough, but its still almost twice the amount initially promised. As it relies on the internet to work. Many areas where connections arent up to speed will not be able to use it. It will be available in m countries from today, with more coming in the next few months. Some have balked at the price, the 129. 99 premiere edition will include a stadia controller, a chromecast dongle, and three months of stadia streaming. A free to play version of stadia, with a lower resolution, will be offered at a future time. Googles Vice President , Phil Harrison is confident his firms new venture will work. Google stadia is a new generation Gaming Platform, one that does away with the traditional barrier to entry by getting rid of the hardware you need to buy in your home. You do not need to buy an expensive pc or game console to enjoy the latest games. We take care of that in our data centre and we think this is a revolution for the games industry. Im nowjoined by georgejijiashvili, whos an Senior Analyst at ovum. Good to see you again. Is this revolution . It is but it is a revolution . It is but it is a revolution that will take several yea rs revolution that will take several years to revolution that will take several yea rs to pay revolution that will take several years to pay off. If they stay with it. May they pull out if it is not proving successful . Google has said the right expectations from the get go. Cloud gaming will only be 1 of the total 120 billion gaming industry, which will grow but to become the size of 8 billion by 2024 therefore google must set that expectations are now to avoid disappointment. Critics say it is a bit of a rush and quite a bit of money to pay to set up for three months. Will that put people off . Initially, eight months ago when google announced the service, they said you could play anywhere and you do not need to pay for any hardware at lunch today, you do have to buy hardware, a controller together with the subscription so that may put some people off initially but we will have to see how they integrate the rest of the features going forward. Who do you think well get onboard . Are the hard core gamers discussing this . They are targeting hard core gamers but most importantly gamers who have previously bought consoles but have fallen out of it because they may not have time to upgrade their pcs 01 not have time to upgrade their pcs or buy new consuls and Google Stadia allow them to game without having to purchase any of this. A critical moment in the game and the internet sta rts moment in the game and the internet starts going flaky or that circle goes around and that would be so annoying. Exactly. You can get away with that while watching a video but bob playing a game you cannot have offering, it is completely unacceptable. But while playing. It is Google Stadia here to stay . They will persevere for now but we have to wait and see how it pans out. Thank you for your time.

What we are saying at emirates is enough is enough. We cannot have engines that do not work, entrance that are not fit for purpose, we cannot have them over expensive. The message to everybody is only give us products we are contracted for. We carry 150,000 passengers a day and understand what it means if things do not work. Dont come to us now with a range of products which are asking us to be the guinea pigs of the trial as you go through improvements in engines or whatever. We must have 100 reliable engines, airfreight and entry into service and they must be sustained on that basis for however long is defined in the contract.

How do you manage when youre making this place . I am spending a lot on coloured things i need around from home. The school is trying to raise standards while cutting costs. The cash has been going up but the bills have been rising even faster so the first bit of any money promised will have to go towards reversing those cards. So the spending per child mightjust get back to where it was almost a decade ago. One third of the kids here get free school lunches. Some families are given foodbank vouchers, not so easy to get parents to fund raise. They say they will budget this year.
