have dropped by 70 percent in the last 3 weeks. before the outbreak of the coronavirus nearly one in every 3 visitors to thailand came from china so they were a key market today tiny tourist or 30 say only about $3000.00 chinese are arriving per day the average used to be 30000 other players in the tourism sector are also feeling the pressure. we have really big effective not only for the chinese

he's now hoping for help from the government which last week announced some tax relief for the tourism sector if the situation doesn't improve and the chinese stay away for the long term profit and his business may soon be shipwrecked. reported a loss of almost one of the half 1000000000 euros for last year that's due to a massive fire in the european aerospace company had to pay to settle a longstanding corruption investigation on the upside revenues did increase but challenges remain for the company and its ongoing rivalry with boeing. annual press conferences announcing the financial results of major corporations are not always the most exciting affairs amid the self-congratulation and the flurry of figures it's easy to miss the big news but at the airbus annual gathering on thursday there was a gaping 3600000000 euro hole that was pretty much on miscible. small to each final agreement with the french you can u.s. authorities resolving investigations into others we have agreed to pay and then thousands of $3600000000.00 euros press interest and costs this is the price to pay to turn the page on those past practices and move forward president airbus had to pay the fine to settle a long standing investigation into accusations that between 20042016 the company used intermediaries to bribe public officials in numerous countries for contracts on top of that the company has incurred extra costs of 1200000000 on its troubled a 400 m. military transport program. but it certainly isn't all bad news airbus is underlying profitability is strong with an increase of almost 7000000000 in revenues and a rise in commercial plane deliveries last year the ongoing difficulties at major rival boeing has helped the european giant continue to book major deals in january boeing sold no commercial planes well airports sold 274 however airbus has been hit by production delays and added to the damage done by the fines it says it will take a more cautious approach to production and deliveries in 2020. now let's check in with our financial correspondent. in frankfurt just about how the markets take these figures today from us. it's been a pretty lukewarm reaction on the on the positive side higher revenue the profit when you exclude that charge for the for the bribery settlement which investors knew was coming so that was a nice surprise but the results were pretty much across the board better than what wall street had been expecting but i think this really underscores that while there there has been so much attention on the problems that boeing is having airbus is also having a lot of challenges itself they continue to have big production delays they're struggling with. german sanctions on saudi arabian exports that's hurting their military says and they're also struggling with the slowdown and widebody an aircraft so this is all contributing to this cautious outlook for deliveries that you mentioned you mentioned the troubles a boeing that. shouldn't. have been able to proceed mall from the trouble that. they have to some extent airbus overtook boeing it's now the largest plane maker in the world but given the sort of how the airline industry works people book plane orders years in advance and they also at airbus are continuing to really struggle with production so they have a backlog log of almost 7500 planes right now they're running 6 months behind on the main competitor to the 737 max it's a 320 fare best they just don't really have any capacity to really be ramping up the the production even if they wanted to so i think that's really constrain their ability to profit off of boeing's missteps here so the delay in frankfurt thank you. misson has slashed its financial expectations for this yaf with latest results showed
