I think the stock market particularly tech stocks have gone ahead and a bullish scenario. The fed set to cut interest rates next week, any surprises you're expecting there? we are looking at gradual 25 basis point looking at the inflation which has shown signals of disinflation. It's 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 reflating, 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 has been much healthier than recently and real wage growth has 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 remain, even if there's a slow down from abroad like in the us. Japan has just released its final gdp reading for the second quarter — which was slightly below preliminary readings. We're also expecting inflation data from a few major economies this week. China is reporting today, and investors will be looking out for signs of recovery in its sluggish economy. Meanwhile, the us and india will release their inflation figures later this week. Boeing says it has reached a tentative deal with its largest union, which represents more than 32,000 workers in the us pacific northwest. This could help the plane—maker avoid a strike which threatened to shut down its production line. Under the deal, workers will get a 25% pay raise over a four—year contract. It is seen as a win for boeing's new ceo kelly 0rtberg, who has been given 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. 5 billion 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 us. 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—andre fabien, who heads canada's paralympic committee, explains the decision. We will give rewards to the canadian paralympic medalists $15,000 for gold and 10,000 for silver and 5,000 for bronze. And for the first time, here in paris, that canada will reward its paralympian medalists, and i must say in the last few years, it was highly controversial in canada to see the 0lympians on one hand receiving rewards and not the paralympians. But the reason why such situations is of course financial. The canadian olympic committee is wealthier than we are in the canadian paralympic committees. What was important was to be able to have a fund and make it sustainable in order to give these rewards, paralympics after paralympics, and now because of private donors and the input of the canadian government, we've been able to have a sufficient fund for a sustainable programme for reward to our paralympian medals. This is a significant change and are there other countries doing the same? i cannot answer you for other countries but paralympians are extremely happy, but will tell you it's not only about money, it is the principle. It is equality and it is to make sure that pair 0lympians are treated the same way on the same foot. China will fully open its manufacturing sector to foreign investments from the first of november. The government is also opening up the health care sector by allowing foreign investors to develop technologies. The manfacturing restrictions that will be dropped are relatively minor, applying to the control of printing factories and the production of herbal medication. Chinese car maker chery is considering opening a factory in the uk. That's according to its uk head victor zhang, who spoke to the bbc. The company is looking to expand its manufacturing a footprint across europe. So far, chery has committed to a factory in spain. It's also speaking to the italian government on starting production there. Over in kenya, young people are moving from rural to urban areas to seek a better life for themselves in cities and towns. The bbc�*s michael kaloki looks at what happens to the elderly who are left behind. These hills are where this 63—year—old lives alone. His wife died several years ago and his children have left home. Translation: the challenges i encountered were living on my own, including having to do the farm on my own. I have to look for food, i have to struggle to meet all my needs. Three of his six children married and moved to other parts of the area. His other children moved to the city in search of a better life. He feels that if his children had not moved to the city, life would have been much better for him financially. Translation: if my children l were here, we would have been sitting down to discuss what we would do to get sufficient money. It is in rural areas such as this where many elderly people are trying to make ends meet on their own or with limited assistance. This after their children have left to seek out a better living in urban areas. For those without sustained income or adequate financial support, they can often end up facing a myriad of challenges. If you look at the rural places, they don't have amenities, services, so if you are in an environment, ecosystem where there are not many things, and no availability of services, it means the costs are high. For elderly people who need specialised care, for example, if someone has high blood pressure, they need specialised care. If they are living in rural africa, it becomes extremely difficult for them. A report released by the kenyan government last year noted that the elderly are the fastest—growing segment of the population in the country, with the report indicating that inadequate income is a challenge. Social cohesion can also be affected when the elderly are left on their own. Traditionally, we are socialised into a certain culture, and we are connected by social interaction. We talk together. The social fabric is tight. But as we move away, and probably we don't even interact, then the disconnect is very big. We are talking, but the physical interaction, talking to my parents, and the children are seen as communicating, we have lost that. As several urban areas in kenya and on the continent continue to witness growth, attracting more young people, the future faced by the elderly in rural areas becomes a significant concerns.
