Murdered in the west is that terror attack, has arrived before his funeral later today. Now it is time for Asia Business report. Westminster terror. Benneteau toshiba is in the spotlight this week. Well find out why their troubles mirror what is wrong with japan. Andrew rules on this guy. We look at singapores efforts to control the airspace use for drones. Hello and welcome to Asia Business report. Im sharanjit leyl. And welcome to a brand new week. And these are few things we are expecting on the corporate calendar this week. On tuesday, toshiba is due to release its earnings. The troubled japanese conglomerate has been delaying releasing its results. It is done that already twice while trying to assess losses from its us nuclear business. 0n trying to assess losses from its us nuclear business. On thursday, we get the first good result from jpmorgan chase. And in it is a short trading week with good friday coming up. And to help map out the trading agenda, i spoke with a market hours. I first asked him trading agenda, i spoke with a market hours. Ifirst asked him if the geopolitical issues after the Missile Strikes on syria, and the warships in the area of the Korean Peninsula could rattle investors. There will be some nervousness about it. But i think the Carrier Battle Group is sabre ratting by the us administration. To be honest, to ta ke administration. To be honest, to take north korea, you will need more than a Carrier Battle Group. So i think this is more of a pr exercise, rather than a serious precursor to some action going on there. Lets ta ke some action going on there. Lets take a look at toshiba, now. They have a busy been delaying their earnings results. They said finally this is due out on tuesday. Why these constant delays, and what impacts will this have on market, has . The main reason is they could not get their core to three accounts signed off by the auditor, and that was because they could not quantify the losses on their nuclear business. Now that westinghouse is in receivership, i guess they are in a position for korda 3 2 quantify that. Because isa by a position for korda 3 2 quantify that. Because isaby write the whole lot. They have a lot of contingent liabilities from loan guarantees to which they gave to westinghouse. And they also have a uk Nuclear Plant that they are fully liable for to build. So there is nothing but bad news, there. So it was either produce ecosys week or be delisted from the tokyo stock exchange. Well be watching for that closely. They cannot afford another delay. Lets ta ke cannot afford another delay. Lets take another look at the us banks. We know that it is a much tighter regular tree environment in the us. Present donald trump has talked about rolling back some of the provisions of the dodd frank act, which could be positive for us backed. With us Interest Rates rising in the united states, and a more positive yield curve, this could be positive for us bank earnings. Sibley put, the higher the rates go, the high they can judge the loans. So the more money they can make. So the us economy is doing very well, despite the heat up hiccup. Simply. Very well, despite the heat up hiccup. Simply. It was not a greatjob report from hiccup. Simply. It was not a great job report from the hiccup. Simply. It was not a greatjob report from the us on friday. The other thing that rattle those last week was this idea that from the that they would be scaling back on the Balance Sheet for the central bank. A lot of concerns about that. Will they continue to cause rattles . That is effectively a fourth tightening. Industries racked it as did the Foreign Exchange straightaway. The bond market did not. I would expect that to start affecting the bond market and we will see higher yields there. Effectively, that will be the fourth tightening for 2017. The operator of hong kongs Gold Exchange is in talks with myanmar to help the government there to set up a similar exchange in the country. Myanmars location along the route of the chinese one belt route makes itan of the chinese one belt route makes it an attractive spot to capture the Commodities Trade in the region. That is the view of the president of the Gold Exchange society. That is the Gold Exchange society. That is the Group Advising myanmar on the venture. The us secretary of state, brett allison, has arrived in italy to begin discussions later date with the major european powers on ways to increase pressure on finance it to distance himself from syrias president al assad. Rex tillerson will meet Boris Johnson president al assad. Rex tillerson will Meet Borisjohnson and fellow Foreign Ministers from the g7 grouping, including others. Researchers are women who take a career break take a tough time to return to the walking work. In hong kong, 67 levered jobs for various reasons. But less than half of employers surveyed said they would hirea employers surveyed said they would hire a woman returning to the workforce. To find out why, i pose the question to soviva robert waters, who conducted the survey. The purpose of doing this survey was to uncover any bias towards this group of talents that we encounter ona group of talents that we encounter on a daily basis. I think some of the reasons that we uncovered that prevent these people from getting into the work first as quickly as others. Workforce to please others. Workforce to please others include that they might be up to rise to the challenge as quickly as they could, if in an active role, because they will have taken time out and will not have been keeping up out and will not have been keeping up with Industry Trends or Market Trends as quickly as other counterparts. So, and also, as a result, personal commitments, but those who had taken time to take ca re of those who had taken time to take care of children or elderly parents, sometimes they feel that they might be as committed. What can governments, as well as employment is possibly as well as employers, do to change has . I love that question. Interestingly, in singapore parliament, it was raised last week, a motion highlighting the aspirations of women in singapore. And there were a slew of measures be discussed. Topics being brought up to identify this group of people, that they are actually an integral pa rt that they are actually an integral part of the workforce, notjust in singapore, but in the wider region as asia pacific. With a wealth of experience experience and these people are actually definitely a lot more, you know, they can bring with them great time management skills, organisational skills, benefits that you might not see in some of these other talents that we are dealing with at this moment. We are seeing, as you say, the Singapore Government tried to address this issue in terms of policy, but in terms of your outlook and your survey, which countries in asia specifically need women to return to work the most . Southeast asia, china, where see this problem being particularly acute . I think if you look across Southeast Asia and greater china, the economy to grow right now. The emerging markets in Southeast Asia, like indonesia and thailand, vietnam lives as these are the countries that are most lacking in talent, and ijust want that are most lacking in talent, and i just want to highlight that we focus on white collar working professionals. And these individuals, these are young, capable, smart women, they can bring experience to meet the Labour Shortage in local markets. This guy is the limit for the number of these things. They are drones. They are expected to Hit Singapore S Air Space next ten years. The additional traffic will cause dangers. To prevent crashes, experts at the Civil Aviation authority of singapore are working on a system with University Researchers to keep drones on the same path. Safe. There is a need for a system to govern the operation of drones. We also know that the Government Agencies are looking at more usage of drones, operations which are dull, dirty, and dangerous. These types of work would be best done by a robot or by a drone. For instance, if you want to inspect a chimney, for instance, you would not want to censor me up for instance, you would not want to censor me up and down the chimney. You just use a drone to go and conduct an inspection. The reason you see many drones flying in big areas, and especially in urban areas, is because the safety is something that we must ta ke safety is something that we must take care. Singapore, many people may not realise that the Open Essbaseis may not realise that the open essbase is actually finite and limited. They are potentially interfering with military. There is a need to divide them. There is a way to fence a virtual wall around an area, because we do not want to allow a ny an area, because we do not want to allow any drones to enter into that area. This will require the technology that supports the surveillance, and knowing positions well enough, so that if a particular area is geo fenced, that this information can be uploaded. Very exciting stuff. A quick look at the market before we go. They have opened higher, as you can see. And thatisit opened higher, as you can see. And that is it for this edition of asian, at Asia Business report. They keep watching. This edition this edition of Asia Business report. Locke. Youre watching bbc news. The headlines this hour a Us Navy Strike group heads towards the Korean Peninsula. Donald trump reviews his options are dealing with the threat. Its president has declared a three month State Of Emergency following two bomb attacks on Coptic Churches in which more than a0 people died. Egypts president. With less than two months ago before the first round of voting in the french election, and then a micron is the favourite to take first place. He founded his own independent political movementjust a year ago, saying hes neither left nor right wing and has made big gains. Our europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas spent the day with him on the Campaign Trail in corsica. He is the newcomer with the 100 watt smile who has electrified this election. The 39 year old current favourite for president. Photos everywhere, all day long. Emmanuel macron is a former businessman banker styling himself as a new type of politician. Not from the left or right, he says, but different. Above all, he claims he is the positive alternative to the other front runner, the far right marine le pen. Madame le pen is in favour of frexit, of stopping with the european union, with exiting a lot of agreements we have, and creating new boundaries. I do believe it is not the best way to strengthen our country. Instead, what is good for france, mr macron believes, is strengthening the eu, sticking to the euro, and so he told me if he is president , he would do the uk no favours when it came to a brexit deal. I would favour the mid to long term interests of the eu. I do not want to be in a situation to have a Smooth Brexitjust for the interest of one sector or one business. I am a unique candidate today. I do believe a strong france in a strong europe is the unique way to succeed in this world. Thank you. So, after brexit and donald trump, a Macron Victory would mark a turning of the political tide for europe. On to another event, and a Macron Victory is far from assured. Although he was economy minister, he has never fought an election before. He is not the most inspiring speaker. In corsica, the crowd seemed enthusiastic. So this was another packed event from emmanuel macron, but the unknowns remain. His youth does that mean he is something fresh or inexperienced . The fact he is not from one of the main parties, will that make it hard for him to get any programme through . The fact he is a former banker, can he really bring change . Today, to make things happen here in france, we need to work together, this lady said. I like what i heard, because i never believed in tribal politics. His is the candidacy built on self belief and optimism. Is it enough to make him president . If you didnt know, Sergio Garcia won the masters about an hour ago.
