in the next few hours, after 118 days on strike. the dispute over pay, conditions and the threat of artificial intelligence to performers�* livelihoods has paralysed production at film studios and streaming services. it comes after the alliance of motion picture and television producers, representing the likes of disney and netflix, made a best and final offer to the union. suranjana tewari in singapore has been following the story. this is a huge for the business of hollywood?— this is a huge for the business of hollywood? that's right this is the sag-aftra _ of hollywood? that's right this is the sag-aftra and - of hollywood? that's right this is the sag-aftra and it - is the sag—aftra and it represents a lot of the actors who play the smaller roles, the lower level actors and they have reached a deal with the union that represents big streamers like disney and netflix. as you mention, they were one of two unions to go on strike this year, the others being the writers guild. it still needs to be approved by the board, this deal. it is valued at more than $1 billion for the next three years. it does not include increases in minimum salaries and the new streaming participation bonus, according to the union. the deal also provides protection against unauthorised use of images. these actors are really concerned about artificial intelligence being able to make doubles of them and so they would not need to go to their jobs in person and these streamers will be able to continue making content. we will find out more details after that board meeting later on today. after that board meeting later on toda . . ~ after that board meeting later on toda . ., ~ ,, after that board meeting later on toda. ., ~ i. after that board meeting later ontoda. . ~' . on today. thank you so much indeed. the news comes as one of the biggest players, disney, has been giving its latest update to investors. its share price has slumped to the lowest in a decade, on concerns about the decline in traditional tv channels. last year disney brought veteran ceo bob iger out of semi—retirement to try and turn the company around and regain investor confidence. he has pledged to cut costs by more than 7 billion dollars. and the signs are that it is paying off, as michelle fleury reports. it is nearly a year since bob iger made his shocked return to disney following his retirement and having restructured its operations, mr iger, who was on his second go around leaving the media giant, said disney is now moving to its next phase. while we still have work to do to continue improving a result, progress has allowed us to move beyond the spirit of fixing and begin building our business again. an example of that, next month disney will launch a beta test of an app that combines disney+, streaming service, with hulu, another streaming servers. itjust bought the remaining stake in hulu from comcast. this comes as dreaming losses are and is disney + added 7 million subscribers, that is nearly double forecasts. it is also investing money in its theme parks, which continue to grow. we switched places whenever we use them. ., ., ., , and new films like the marvels, due out this friday, should help its film studio which is focusing on making less stuff of higher quality from its existing franchises. still, not everything is rosy. for example, disney�*s abc network and other stations of lower political advertising revenue during the quarter, a decline in ad revenue that has worried investors. and there is still the question, what does disney plan to do with espn? its sport service which many wonder whether or not it will sell off in the future. on that, mr iger got did not offer much commentary. let�*s go to los angeles and speak to guy bisson. who covers the media industry for ampere analysis. before we talk about disney more specifically, let�*s talk about the whole industry. this strike looks like it is over, it has to be good news?

it us through that, the challenges for disney going forward. ~ . ., , forward. well, the challenges forward. well, the challenges for the streaming _ forward. well, the challenges for the streaming industry - forward. well, the challenges| for the streaming industry are that investors have turned somewhat against the model, in respect that it has been loss—making for all of the studios since they launched, effectively, and if the turnaround that is required is to move the streaming business into an error of profitability into an error of profitability in short order. ——an era. they have been streamlining and cutting back at disney, making less movies next year, potential sales of assets, looking at the future of libya tv networks, streamlining the business, selling off. —— linear tv. business, selling off. —— lineartv. looking business, selling off. —— linear tv. looking to profitability in 202a. lots of moving parts which is an industry increasingly competitive and saturated. 7 million new customers is a stellar performance by any standards, however. for disney and for example _ standards, however. for disney and for example apple - standards, however. for disney and for example apple tv, - standards, however. for disney and for example apple tv, who j and for example apple tv, who have got disney plus, compared to netflix, are they in a better position because they are so diverse in terms of their business is?

company you run a technology company you put a tool or something in people�*s hands that unintended consequences will happen. there are i was trying to listen. increasing inventory is good but could be bad for hosts. what is good for the company and what is good for the hosts? it is notjust what is good for the company, it is good for guests. i think the secret source of airbnb is to try to design a marketplace which is a win—win for the gas and host. if there aren�*t enough homes and prices are too high, we hear of issues of affordability. at the same time we want this to make sense financially for hosts. the great thing about our business is to keep making the market more efficient. and keep making it win—win. to china now where there are increasing concerns about the state of the economy and the risks of deflation taking hold. prices of goods at the factory gate — the producer price index — were down 2 point 6 percent in october compared with last year — the 13th month in a row of declining prices. consumer prices were also down 0.2 percent on this time last year let�*s speak to professor hong bo from the school of finance and management at soas university here in

bbc news. let�*s carry on with the business coverage. european plane maker airbus is sticking to its plans to produce more aircraft next year as it reported a 21% jump in operating profits in the past three months. ceo guillaume faury has been speaking to the bbc. he said air travel is back to pre—pandemic levels — and the number of planes they are delivering will soon be back to those levels too. the data shows that we are roughly back to where we were in 2019 any number of flights, the number of passengers. the mix is quite different from what it was 2019. so the traffic as it recovers and keeps growing, when it comes to our own business, which is delivering planes to the airlines, we are not yet back to where we were in 2019. 2019 we delivered 860 planes at airbus, and we had 660 last year, targeting 720 this year. you see there is a time lag between the recovery of the traffic and the recovery of the delivery of plans. let's return to _ of the delivery of plans. let's return to asia, _ of the delivery of plans. let's return to asia, because - return to asia, because business leaders have been gathering in singapore to discuss some of the challenges facing the global economy. 0ur asia business correspodent nick marsh is there and has been speaking to australia�*s richest man. i understand he has quite a bit to say. tell us more? he i understand he has quite a bit to say.

governments. businesses as we know, they want ease of trades, things to be straightforward. governments, you know, they have their own strategic ambitions. they compete amongst each other. that is kind of detention. 0ne each other. that is kind of detention. one of the ways in which the tension is most manifest is when it comes to green policies. like you say, i was speaking to andrew forrest, australia�*s richest man, the boss of a massive mining company called fortescue. he invited me onto one of fortescue�*s ships. just before we came to speak to you, we are in the pressroom, but the ship has popped into view in the street of singapore. we will zoom in a little bit. it is the one with the circle there. it is called the green pioneer. —— strait of singapore. it could in theory be a zero emissions ship. i spoke to andrea ship. he said businesses at the technology and money, the only reason that any big businesses and decarbonise thing is basicallyjust and decarbonise thing is

somebody else about something you didn�*t hear about there, which is where australia fits into the relationship between china and the united states. china and the united states. china is australia�*s biggest trading partner. fortescue sent so much minerals and iron ore to china, but its biggest ally, strategically, is the united states. there will become a point when the us says to countries like australia "stop selling to china" and" we don�*t want trying to get ahead in the race for green technologies". andrew forrest said he doesn�*t want to see this become a political issue because then we all lose out. whether governments will listen to that it is possibly a different story. it a lwa ys always is. thank you. nick marsh there for us. let�*s ask the question. how does a company that has been called the "billionaire�*s outfitter" cope with a global economic slowdown? it may not be a household name like armani or versace, but the customers of italian tailors stefano ricci have included heads of government, royalty and top business leaders. france�*s president macron is one — the late nelson mandela was another. the family owned firm was the first foreign luxury brand to open up in

pleasure to speak to you. thank you for being on the programme and telling us about how your company is doing, which is really interesting given the challenges we are seeing in china and elsewhere. you are with bbc news. thank you for company today. there is more on the stories we have covered and others we haven�*t got to on our website. do take a look. for now, from me, it is goodbye. we will see you soon. hello there. wednesday brought us some pretty big weather contrasts across the country. for the southeast of england, we have a persistent band of rain, it was raining for most of the day, bringing these rather grey skies, quite windy as well. most of the uk have actually managed to see something a bit brighter through the afternoon with some sunshine, shower clouds getting in here to northern ireland. and here are the showers on the radar picture from wednesday. the speckled shower clouds extend right out into the atlantic to near greenland. and all of those shower clouds are coming our way. so it is going to be quite an unsettled looking weather picture over the next few days, really. now, over the next few hours, a bit of rain crosses northern england, a few showers here and there. most of them will be across western areas. these are the kind of temperatures that you�*ll start off thursday with. so quite a chilly start to the day, cold enough for a nip of frost across northern scotland, mostly eastern scotland, central and eastern england, east wales starting off on a dry and sunny note, the showers across western areas. but as we go through the day, you could see an odd shower just about anywhere. they�*ll always be most frequent, though, towards wales and southwest england where they could merge to give some slightly longer spells of rain. and as well as that, it�*ll be quite windy around the coast, gusts of around 40, perhaps the low 50mph. now, friday is another kind of showery day, but this time the winds are generally coming in from a northwesterly direction. and that means the showers are going to tend to be draped around coastal areas. if you live away from the coast, you�*ve got a much better chance of it being dry and sunny as well. temperatures running quite close to average for the time of year, about 8 to 11 degrees. now, as we head into the weekend, saturday looks all right. sunday, the big question mark isjust how quickly this band of rain comes in off the atlantic. at the moment saturday, the better of the two days of the weekend, plenty of sunshine around, maybe a few early morning mist and fog patches. but for the vast majority, it�*s a dry day. perhaps just one or two showers rolling in to the far northeast of scotland. temperatures not really changing too much, around 8 to 11 degrees celsius. the big
