Google parent, out of ode, gives its forecast. Alphabet. Hideo kojima ta kes forecast. Alphabet. Hideo kojima takes us on a tour of his studio. Good morning, asia. Hello, world. Im rico hizon. Thank you for investing your time with another Asia Business report. Its a friday. We start with googles efforts to diversify away from its main Search Engine business. It is beginning to pay off. Alphabet said profits rose by 8 to over 5 billion. It was lower than we expected. I asked our reporter how the core business, google, has been performing. Google is about how many ads can be put among the search results. 36 more people are clicking on the advertisements than last year. That isa advertisements than last year. That is a good sign. More people clicking on them. But as the Company Continues to move over to the mobile world as opposed to the desktop Search Engine, it is finding advertisers are willing to pay less for those advertisements. That is happening more. The amount they want to spend earning those clicks is lower than before. Good signs of growth. But still unbelievably you could still say google is transitioning to mobile. And, of course, alphabet has other bets, apart from google. How are they faring . What we are looking out for this time is the hardware they brought out in the last year. The google phone, pixel, is lumped in with all the other stuff. There is a suggestion it is performing well, though we do not know how much. The company has grown revenue in things that do not make money in the beginning but will in the future. Revenue is growing. They are only marginally beating the costs. Still a big loss for the company as a whole. But the Investors Group is demand of lowering the costs is happening, though gradually. San francisco.

Us President Donald Trump the british Prime Minister theresa may to the white house later this friday. She will be the first Foreign Minister to meet with donald trump since he took office last week. They are expected to discuss a Potential Trade Deal following britains exit from the eu. We have the details. We are excited that theresa may is coming on friday. We are looking forward to it. It may not seem like it, but President Donald Trump and Prime Minister theresa may have a few things in common. The rise in power was killed by a rejection in the establishment. They are trying to create bilateral trade deals. When he talks to Prime Minister theresa may, he will have a great conversation about the potential for Greater Trade with the uk. The pressure is on. Negotiations are imminent. Kneeling down a trade agreement with the us would give theresa may a real big boost back home. But donald trump also wants to see a quick agreement. His America First rhetoric has many World Leaders weary. I will be talking to donald trump about the issues that we share, about how we can build on the Special Relationship. It is the Special Relationship that allows us to say when we find things unacceptable. The fact she is the first world leader to visit the white house under a Donald Trump Administration is perhaps a testa m e nt to administration is perhaps a testament to britains Special Relationship with the United States pillar we have always had that Special Relationship with britain. And that reflects in the first visit here. He has had a great conversation with her. He looks forward to having her here. But we could always be closer. Samira hussain reporting. The Flying Kangaroo has ta ken hussain reporting. The Flying Kangaroo has taken off to beijing. They are expanding their business after a record profit happening in 2016. Previously, qantas had been losing billions of dollars with a three year Restructuring Efforts under alan joyce having a three year Restructuring Efforts under alanjoyce having a turnaround that was remarkable. We spoke in beijing about why china is a remarkable and attractive market. That has been a huge boost in the market. The amount of chinese travellers coming to australia is 110w travellers coming to australia is now up to1. 2 travellers coming to australia is now up to 1. 2 million a year. By 2018, it will be the largest Tourism Market into australia. It has more than doubled since that period. We have also seen a Free Trade Agreement between australia and china, which has really boosted the business demand and Business Traffic on that route. And we have also seen a big increase in Agricultural Products in put in particular. We know that fresh Dairy Products will go even further. A bit different. We believe this is absolutely the time to come into the market to make money on this. This decision to reopen the Flight Route Into Beijing is obviously driven more by a chinese passengers coming to australia, not the other way around. Is that right . The big explosion is with chinese passengers coming in. But with the Free Trade Agreement we have seen the beijing market bring the 11th largest Corporate Market into australia. We served the top ten. Beijing is what we do not serve. It makes sense for the australian Corporate Market where there is huge demand to go to beijing. Chief alan joyce.

What struck me about spending time with hideo kojima, is here is a man who has achieved everything there is to achieve in the game industry. But he said he would not retire. He is still passionate and energetic about technology and gaming. And he is still coming up with new ideas. And he said he has set himself the biggest challenge yet. He has changed the Gaming Industry once. Now he wants to do it again. Bbc news, tokyo. A brilliant videogame maker. The markets now. Asian markets, as you can see, are quite firm, most of them.
