Secured their biggest pay rise since 1991, giving the central bank the confidence to make its move. One that puts decades of deflation in the rear view mirror. Lets go live to shizuoka in japan and Seijiro Takeshita professor at the univesity of shizuoka. Good to have you on the programme. We knew this was coming, it has happened, give us your reaction. Us your reaction. Well, as you said, it us your reaction. Well, as you said. It was us your reaction. Well, as you said, it was expected us your reaction. Well, as you said, it was expected because of the Pre Requisites were set, basically, 5. 2 increase by Larger Companies, pay rise. We expected only form per sense of that history very well. We have the Inflation Target which is to present a morejust been fulfilled so basically, prerequisites for lifting off from this secure operation of negative Interest Rate is finally here. It negative Interest Rate is finally here. Finally here. It is finally here, finally here. It is finally here. Its finally here. It is finally here, its a finally here. It is finally here, its a very finally here. It is finally i here, its a very important symbolic step forjapan, but what impact we literally have an economy . An economy . Well, its basically an economy . Well, its| basically normalisation, an economy . Well, its basically normalisation, many people might think we have a bracing economy and we dont. Our capped expenditure, expended by the corporations, is still brisk but a lot of it is still brisk but a lot of it is rather a backpedalling, Rationalisation Type of investment, not the type of investment, not the type of investment that brings out multiplier. Private consumption is still very doubtful, whether it will be strong just because of cash income increases. The japanese consumers are very conservative. Under that circumstance i dont think the bank ofjapan is in a position to continue to increase the rate especially considering our debt position. I think it is a good start, but we are not at the same point as the likes of ecb or the fed. In the same point as the likes of ecb or the fed. The same point as the likes of ecb or the fed. In terms of the wane ecb or the fed. In terms of the wage deal. Ecb or the fed. In terms of the wage deal, which ecb or the fed. In terms of the wage deal, which was ecb or the fed. In terms of the wage deal, which was set ecb or the fed.

The impact that will have . In companies in japan. The impact that will have . That will have . In japan we have what that will have . In japan we have what are that will have . In japan we have what are called that will have . In japan we have what are called the i have what are called the Enterprise Union system, which is union within these companies, so these Larger Companies, so these Larger Companies will show the way for medium and Smaller Companies as well, so obviously they will follow. I think again, the important thing is whether this will be reducing the spending of the individuals. I think it might be difficult, but certainly it is the first time in over two decades while other nations have been rising on their pay. So finally it is here and again, one of the Confirmation Status that we are walking out from this operation a negative Interest Rates. In terms of the industrial shift withinjapan, many look terms of the industrial shift within japan, many look at japan withinjapan, many look at japan now as being behind the curve, with china, taiwan and Silicon Valley and others just progressing extensively and from that Point Of View . Ida. Progressing extensively and from that Point Of View . No, i dont think from that Point Of View . No, i dont think that from that Point Of View . No, i dont think that is from that Point Of View . No, i dont think that is the from that Point Of View . No, i dont think that is the right. Dont think that is the right assessment, because we still excel considerably in areas like process innovation. You look at the companies that are making record high profits, and the fact that nikkei has reached its highest since 1989 also tells you how brisk it many of these companies are doing. We are seeing polarisation but it does mean that we are losing the competitive edge. Of course not seen the growth like we saw in the late 80s early 90s but we are a mature economy now, so the growth is quite different dell were differentiated and i think it is wrong to make the symbol comparison with those others in the Current Situation in japan.

Always a pleasure to talk to you, thank you for talk to you, thank you for giving us some perspective on this very important day for japan. Speak to you again soon. From japan to china, where there is another twist in the tale about the property giant evergrande. Its founder has been barred from chinas Securities Market after regulators accused the groups Flagship Unit of Securities Fraud, failing to make timely disclosures, and inflating its earnings by around 80 billion. Hui ka yan was once asias second richest man and in charge of one of chinas biggest real estate developers. Joao da silva is following this for us from our Asia Business hub. What is the latest . Well, this is a massive what is the latest . Well, this is a massive fraud what is the latest . Well, this is a massive fraud case is a massive fraud case involving the worlds most indebted property developer. To give you an idea, the financial watchdog, the regular tory commission, found that every grands annual Revenue Figures were inflated by more than 50 in 2019 and nearly 80 in the following year. Evergrande. Much of the blame is laid on the evergrande founder hui ka yan, who was once a chinas richest man and has been banned from the countrys Financial Markets and has been fined 6. 5 million. As for the Flagship Unit, it was fined to the tune of more than 580 million. There are a couple of things worth noting. This comes after chinas financial regulators vowed to crack down on Securities Fraud and protect small investors, so this does indeed send a signal listed companies and in particular to chinas embattled property developers, that sort of accounting issues of fraudulent behaviour will not be tolerated. And of course, it could also signal that mr huis legal problems are about to become much more complicated. Last year he was placed under Police Surveillance or suspected illegal crimes, well, these fines are penalties not criminal charges, which we have yet to hear about. Meanwhile, there is No End In Sight to the downturn in chinas property market, a sector that accounts for around a third of the worlds second largest economy with the latest indicators released just days ago showing significant decline in Property Investment and new construction.

Nvidia unveiled its new Graphics Processing Unit at a Developers Conference in california on monday. Its called the blackwell, and its meant to build on the successes of the companys existing gpus, which are in demand All Over The World. Nvidia makes powerful chips that are used to develop ai technology, and the blackwell is expected to allow more advanced ai models to be built. Its also expected to be a boon for the tech company, which has ridden ai enthusiasm to the top of the markets. At nvidias Developers Conference in california monday, the companys ceo, jensen huang, called Generative Ai the defining technology of our time. Some of the biggest names in tech are expected to use blackwell gpus, and we expect to see the technology in action later this year.

However, Ithink Revolution so that as of exciting. However, i think a lot has been expected, think the market has been expecting a new chip to be unveiled at this event, and nvidia stock prices rose by about 80 this year alone after trickling last year so i think there is a lot of enthusiasm and expectation baked in, so even after this announcement, the stock price of nvidia has actually fallen by about 1. 5 .

And i think in general, industry still thinks nvidia is a couple of generations ahead of its competitors. But i think with technology, these kind of things move at light speed, so you can never say never. But i think nvidia still has a huge market share for al chips at the moment.

We will have more on that after this. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. Deal with bbc news. Lets carry on with the business coverage. The indian city of bengaluru, home to some of the biggest it companies in the country, is battling an acute Water Shortage after poor rainfall. Ineffective Water Conservation has made matters worse leading to reservoirs drying up. The bbc� s Arunoday Mukharji reports on the current water crisis and how it is affecting the citys world renowned Silicon Valley tag. Residents of Rr Nagar In Bengaluru Waiting for a basic need water, something they should have had easy access to within their homes. Now, both water and peoples patience are running low. Drinking water atms here are in high demand. For less than a dollar, people fill their cans, but its a daily hassle. The glass of water first thing in the morning that so many people take for granted has become a struggle for people over here in some parts of bengaluru. As you can see, this is their daily morning routine lining upjust to get their bottles filled. This is bengalurus main source of water, the kaveri river, but its failed to reach all corners of a rapidly growing city. Made worse by poor rainfall, forcing sections of the city to rely completely on Water Tankers. This neighbourhood of 3,500 residents needs 50 tankers a day, but supply now is down to half. Since they have to go far away and get the water, the cost has got escalated. It is around twice the cost that we are paying right now. Despite authorities putting a 12 cap on prices for Water Tankers in some parts of the city, people say they are charging double or even triple the amount. Authorities say they are working on alternatives to tide over the crisis. We are also depending upon the treated water, which is the main source of water for other, non drinking purposes. That water, we are planning to take to the commercial industry establishment, to that extent that we can reduce the Kaveri Water Consumption by industry and commercial purposes. Bengaluru is the fourth Largest Technology hub in the world after Silicon Valley, boston and london. But its come at a price. The Population Boom swallowing up the citys many lakes, once also a crucial source of water. Were completely reliant on the kaveri water supply. We need to re architect our imaginations of water solutions, and that needs to include rainwater, lake water, aquifer or ground water and treated waste water. This city of 1a million is only going to grow. And if its Civic Infrastructure fails to keep pace, instead of a free flow of water, the it city will be forced to count every last drop. Arunoday mukharji, bbc news, bengaluru. We are always been told never to look up potential Health Symptoms on the internet. But the medical profession is fully embracing tech such as Ai The Medical Profession is fully embracing tech such as alto deliver better patient care in the future. Ai is now being used to keep clinicians routinely updated about patients conditions, identify trends and flag up potential concerns based on an algorithm. And at a Vice President al Software Platform that integrates with the patient� s medical records. Space here in the uk, i spoke to the chief executive. It provides a highly user friendly interface to enable to manage their patients and optimise the treatment of disease. I think the key is that it enables the doctor to have a real genuine interaction with the patient rather than scrolling through piles of notes, it also gives them the confidence that they have the latest medical information at their fingertips and helps them optimise the management of the patient in front of them as opposed to groups of patients. So for me as a doctor, it is round personalising treatment and actually treating the person in front of you. Groups of patients need to be managed based on risk and managed how they receive plant care based on risk. And this ad but this device does it as well, but finally, do something quite unique and i think this is worth describing. Patients today with long term conditions suffer from today with long term conditions sufferfrom more today with long term conditions suffer from more than one condition. They probably have heart disease, high lipids, high cholesterol, they probably also have diabetes. Ai high cholesterol, they probably also have diabetes. Aland our software enables a doctor to confidently manage the totality of a patient in a holistic way. It has been talked about a lot, the benefits of Artificial Intelligence in health care in terms of diagnosis and the other areas that you have just touched on. So, where is the National Health service in adopting this technology and other services around the world . ~. ,. ,. , world . We are covering already over half a world . We are covering already over half a million world . We are covering already over half a million patients world . We are covering already over half a million patients in i over half a million patients in primary care, and our goal there is to optimise management of large groups of people, managing them to see the right doctor or the right Clinical Team at the right time, then optimising their treatment. And gradually we are moving out to both expanding the nhs, but expanding globally because clearly, if we look at countries outside the uk, where is the big growth in chronic disease, chronic long term non Infectious Disease . That is in the east, indeed in sub saharan africa, south asia and Southeast Asia and also in south america. So as to expand this year, we are expanding to cover the repertoire of Chronic Diseases and therefore address the burden using Digital Technology is most of the diseases that most countries are facing globally. Are facing globally. Really interesting are facing globally. Really interesting to are facing globally. Really interesting to have are facing globally. Really interesting to have a interesting to have a conversation about the medical advances being made, how Artificial Intelligence is enabling that, the future of tech within medicine is very interesting. Lets talk about italy. Italy is preparing for a jubilee year when an anticipated 35 million pilgrims will arrive in rome. The city is planning to improve its public transport and public bathroom facilities, repave roads, build Underground Parking and pedestrian underpasses, and clean up the area around the Central Termini Train Station. Its allocated between 2. 5 billion to 4. 3 billion to go into over 100 Public Infrastructure projects. But many of them are way behind schedule and some not yet out of the planning stage. Live now to angelica donati, president of ance giovani and head of Business Development at donati spa. Welcome to the programme. Your organisations are in the thick of this, sojust organisations are in the thick of this, so just tell us its going, the clock is ticking to the jubilee going, the clock is ticking to thejubilee year, which is next year, isnt it . The jubilee year, which is next year. Isnt it . Year, isnt it . Yes, the jubilee year, isnt it . Yes, the Jubilee Starts year, isnt it . Yes, the Jubilee Starts at year, isnt it . Yes, the Jubilee Starts at the i year, isnt it . Yes, the. Jubilee starts at the end year, isnt it . Yes, the i Jubilee Starts at the end of december so we have got significantly less than a year to complete other projects. As you rightly say, 3. 3 Billion Euros worth of investments funnelled into making the city of romejubilee ready. Progress is ticking along but a lot of significant projects have been delayed, in fact several have been removed completely from the plan, for example the Train Station and eight others, or the Underground Parking garage, these are all critical elements of the plan that were then struck off because the time was just no longer sufficient to implement them. According to the National Observatory for the National Observatory for the roman observatory and the jubilee, only 0. 6 of projects were completed when the data was last analysed. This sounds scary, it isnt, because we still had a years worth of work ahead of us when the number was ascertained. But what is also concerning is that 77 of projects are still in design phase, so the timeline for execution is becoming more and more compressed. Of course, there are also a series of key landmark projects, for example the underpass or the renovation, Modernisation Works which are Flagship Projects which are Flagship Projects which are Flagship Projects which are progressing with only minor delays, and they are confident will be completed on time but more needs to be done to accelerate in all the other projects to make sure that when the holy doors open and the millions of pilgrims arrive in rome, the city Will Bejubilee ready.

Obviously theres a lot going on, you are hoping to hit a lot of targets before december, but 3a million are coming regardless, how will you respond to that given the fact that quite a bit of this development is not to happen . Well, the projects that were shelved had not started, so theres that to be said, so it is not like pilgrims will come and find semi completed construction sites. But we as the Construction Industry body have been pushing the local Public Administration to line up Public Administration to line up all their ducks and make sure that execution is not hindered, that everything is put in place to make sure we can do ourjobs as best as we can.

Where the sun has put in an appearance over the last couple of days, we have felt some spring warmth. Certainly, it has been a mild start to the week, but there is a change on the way. It will turn colder later in the week, and between now and then we have some spells of wind and rain to contend with the wettest and windiest weather towards the north and the west of the uk. This chart shows the rainfall we are expecting to accumulate through the course of this week. You can see the green colours just showing up there in Western Scotland indicating more than 50 millimetres of rain, and there is a bit of rain to take us through the first part of tuesday along the line of this weather front. Notice this front wriggles back out into the atlantic another pulse of rain to come through tuesday night and into wednesday. But in the short term, the first piece of that weatherfront, if you like, lingering across parts of southeast england, some clouds, some spots of rain, and then that next pulse of wet weather pushes in across the southwest of england later on. But elsewhere, early cloud will break up to give some spells of sunshine, just the Odd Rogue Shower and feeling very mild, even warm with highs of 17 celsius. But through tuesday night, here comes the rain pushing its way northwards and eastwards. We might hold on to something a little bit drier and clearer towards the South East Corner and certainly up towards the northwest of scotland, where it will be cold to start wednesday morning. Could even be some fog patches here, but mild further south and east. And for many, quite a soggy starts to wednesday. These outbreaks of rain just moving northwards and eastwards as the day wears on. I think the skies will tend to brighten in many places. We will see some spells of sunshine developing, particularly towards the southeast of england, where it will feel very warm indeed at 17 celsius, but also for Northern Ireland and Western Scotland. Here, though, a somewhat chillier feel to the weather. Briefly, a ridge of High Pressure will build, but that wont last long. We see this next Weather System bringing wet and windy weather, particularly across the north of the uk during thursday. And as that clears for friday and into the weekend, well, the winds change direction and start to come down from the north, and that will make it feel significantly colder. Temperatures on the thermometer lower than they have been, could even see some wintry showers over Higher Ground in the north. But factor in the strength of the wind, the wind chill is going to make it feel really very cold indeed. And those chillier conditions extend all the way south across the uk for the weekend.
