And that is a source of disappointment but that said, it doesn't confirm fears of an imminent recession, does look like a slow down. I think the stock market particularly as gone ahead and a bullish scenario. The fed set to cut interest rates next week, any surprises you are expecting there? we are looking at 25 basis point cuts and also looking at the inflation which we have shown signals of and it is possible that we might have some surprises. What would a cut mean for countries like japan? it would confirm anticipation of stock markets that the fed will offer much—needed stimulus as the economy is softening. On the whole, that is good news and i'm not sure if it's going to give stock markets that much more momentum than they have gotten already and i think it's looking at the forward trajectory and what stock markets need is a fine balance between that stimulus and an economy that doesn't look too soft and continues to draw positive earnings going forwards. If we stay with japan, there been encouraging signs coming out from there, and what's the main thing to understand about japan's economic growth? japan is at a crossroads and i think we really benefited from the gpn and exporters revenues growing and the rest of the economy re—flating, and that is looking like japan is going to have to depend more on domestic demand, and signals that this is happening and consumption and growth is been much healthier than recently and real wage growth is gone into positive territory but we need that to continue and if it does continue, we can perhaps see a rotation away from those overseas towards more domestic demand names in the stock market, and in this way, japan's recovery could slow down from abroad like in the us. John is reporting inflation data today and investors will look for signs of economy. —— china. The us and india will boeing since it has reached a tentative deal with its largest union, workers will get a 25% pay rise over a four—year contract. It is seen as a win for the new ceo who has a mandate to turn the firm around. Canadian retailer alimentation couche—tard says it is still keen to pursue an acquisition of 7—eleven. This comes days after the japanese convenience store chain rejected couche—tard's 38—point—5 billion dollar bid. 7—eleven�*s owner said the proposal was not in the best interest of its shareholders, as it could spur anti—trust challenges in the united states. Let's turn to the paralympics which have now drawn to a close. As athletes return home with their medals, some will also be receiving payouts forfinishing on the podium. Providing this sort of financial reward is still new — countries like canada for example, only began these payments this year. Marc—andr fabien, who heads canada's paralympic committee, explains the decision. We will give rewards to the paralympians medallists from pa ralympians medallists from canada, paralympians medallists from canada, $15,000 for gold, 10,000 for silva, 5000 for bronze. This is for the first time here in paris that canada will reward paralympians will reward pa ralympians medallists. Will reward paralympians medallists. I must say in the last few years, that was highly controversial in canada to see that the olympians on the one hand were receiving rewards and not the paralympians. The reason why such was the situation is of course financial. The canadian olympic committee is a lot wealthier than the canadian paralympic committee. So what was important for us was to be able to create a fund and make it sustainable in order to give these rewards, paralympics these rewards, pa ralympics after these rewards, paralympics after paralympics after paralympics. And now, because of private donors, and the input of the canadian government, we've been able to have a sustainable programme or reward to our paralympians medallists. — medallists.
