And all of the key markets are down by nearly 1 . Why such a bad start to the trading week . We talk you through the winners and losers. And well be getting the inside track on baby food. Its a huge market worth 53 billion. And were speaking to the mum who couldnt find what she wanted in the shops, so she started her own organic business. And we want to hear from you today do you still trust samsung . The 58 will be out soon. Would you buy another Samsung Phone . Let us know. Welcome to the programme. The start of a new business week. Do get in touch, whether it is about samsung, baby food or any the other stories. Lets start in south korea. Korean Electronics Giant samsung has released the results of its investigation into its flagship galaxy note 7 smartphones. In october last year the phones were recalled because some had overheated and caught fire. The pictures were all over social media. The company today confirmed problems with the design, saying the manufacturing of batteries was to blame not the actual phones. The note 7 was supposed to rival apples iphone 7, but instead, the device caused massive damage to the compa nys profits and its brand. Last year, more than 100 of the phones spontaneously burst into flames. This forced samsung to halt production and recall millions globally, months before the all important christmas sales period. The debacle almost entirely wiped out the companys Mobile Business Profit in the Third Quarter of last year which is one of samsungs core businesses. And this dragged total profits at the company down by 30 , to their lowest level in two years. But it didnt end there. Samsung itself predicted another 3 billion could be wiped off profits over the next two quarters. The total cost of the recall has been estimated at around 5. 3billion, but the damage to the companys brand could prove harder to predict. Gareth beavis, Mobile Editor of the website tech radar, is with me now. Gareth, i saw this confirmation this morning and said, really, youve got to be kidding us . Of course it was the battery. How important is this confirmation . Does it draw a line . We really drew a line when samsung withdrew the phone and said, we cant buy it any more. To draw a line and say, we got that problem under control, we dont need to worry. The new phone is the 8. A p pa re ntly worry. The new phone is the 8. Apparently it is delayed a little bit. I think it was going to be feathery. I think it might be much now. Is this samsung just taking its time to make sure they get this spot on . The chances of a phone having the production Issues Samsung have had a pretty into tessa munt. Usually they happen in february. Into tessa munt. They could say, everything is fine. They could say, everything is fine. They are putting more Health Checks on top of it. Everybody is trying to assess how damaging this will be for some song. Will smartphone users be loyal . Wildie stick with this Company Despite the fact they had to send back the note 7 . People are still wary. It will always have a halo effect. People are still a little bit fickle. If the 58 is a success , little bit fickle. If the 58 is a success, it will soon forget. People dont want to miss out on having a good phone for a good price. Presumably samsung will have to spend a lot of modern money on marketing . They have to convince us that things are ok again. Absolutely. They already spend money on marketing. You will see a subtle change in marketing. You will see things about safety around the help of the products. Make sure everybody understands this is a solid and sta ble understands this is a solid and stable product. Thank you for coming in. We have already got some tweets. We will do them later. Its a bit of a mixed bag. Stop giving me your scripts the other stories making headlines Around The World. Opec and other Oil Producing countries have agreed a way to monitor that all parties stick to the historic supply deal struck last months. The countries have already cut oil supply by 1. 5 Million Barrels a day. That is 80 of the agreed target. The deal came after two years of Oversupply Led to dramatic drops in prices. Saudi basic industries have agreed to die to buy royal dutch shells sta ke. To die to buy royal dutch shells stake. The middle easts biggest Petrochemical Bridges and shell are ending their partnership earlier than planned, it was supposed to be in 2020. In 2018, shell ended plans to build a plant in qatar. Last year they entered and natural gas adventure in abu dhabi. Us President Donald Trump has said that he will soon begin renegotiating the north American Free trade agreement with his canadian and mexican counterparts. Meetings have been scheduled with canadian prime Ministerjustin Trudeau and mexican president enrique pena nieto, he said. The nafta agreement came into effect between the three countries 119911. Mr trump has called it the worst trade deal the us has ever signed. I have to say, he is all over this next story. He is everywhere. He is the gift that keeps on giving. The Taiwan Based Company that puts apples phones together mainly in chinese factories suggested it will invest as much as 7 billion in new Manufacturing Plants in the United States. Pretty amazing story. The comments from foxconns chief executive terry gou are likely to be welcome by new us President Donald Trump who has warned of tariffs to help encourage manufacturing jobs back into the country. Leisha chi is in singapore. We both think this is an amazing story. A Taiwanese Company actually going to go to the United States and build a plant. Good news for trump. Arent there are rumours that this is apple who pay the money . arent there are rumours that this is apple who pay the money . I will get to do is paying in a second. If this plant does materialise for the us. It would be a major ish victory for donald trump, who has pledged to bring black back all of thejobs pledged to bring black back all of the jobs lost to asia, back home. Fox con is the biggest electronics maker. This plant in the us will maker. This plant in the us will make display panels, which is critical to these smartphone and ipad devices. Its said this move could create between 30000 and 50,000 jobs in the United States. That is a very large number. Pennsylvania is the current frontrunner as a location of this new plant. But they are also in discussions with other states. As we have been reporting, donald trump has been agitating against china and fox con is one of chinas biggest employers. This would be a major move, obviously. It is interesting, the comments about how manyjobs could be created. The large the last time we saw footage of a factory in china there was hardly a person to be seen. It was machines, it was automation making the stuff. Thats right. This plant they are considering, they built sitting conjunction with. Apple has not actually commented on the report. It does have a very big interest in them building a plant in america, because about half of fox cons revenue comes from apple. As to who much who puts how much money in, we will have to wait and see. Fox c011 we will have to wait and see. Fox con have said before they plan to replace most every human work a robot. Were still quite a long way away from having fully automated factories. I dont think it would be an immediate thing. Thank you. Lots of detail. Lets have a look at how markets fared generally today in asia. The start of a new week. That is fridays close for the us markets. Friday was about the inauguration of donald trump. That dominated completely. Today, quite a fall from the nikkei index. The dollar is down against most major currencies. There is a real deflation now that he is in thejob. Some deflation perhaps felt on markets. Lets look at europe and how it is going today. Lets move onto the next screen. We cant. Just to say, when i looked at them early. We have got them behind me 110w. Early. We have got them behind me now. They are down by around about 196. Now. They are down by around about 1 . Why are we seeing falls in europe . Aaron has someone who can give us and insight. Joining us is kathleen brooks, Research Director for city index. This is markets waning a little bit, kind of going. Give us some details. Walk the walk. From election day to Inauguration Day there has been a biggest the biggest rally in the us Stock Markets since any president. It is normal to have a ball back at this stage. The rally cant continue . It cant. Stock markets are at a record high in the us. They are looking very expensive. Can he continue the rally in the next four years . Not sure. Nor the markets are reacting how they are at the moment. He is talking lots but not about stuff thatis talking lots but not about stuff that is going to boost the economy. It is about moving an embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem, criticising the press etc. Interesting that we are getting this news about fox con. We are seeing american car makers saying about production in the United States. I think that is going to bea United States. I think that is going to be a real positive, if we see more production onshore rather than reversing the tide of the offshore production. I think weve also got to remember that trump hasnt been universally good for Stock Markets. There are some c011 universally good for Stock Markets. There are some con companies, boeing, for example, one rogue tweet can knock billions off their share price. Markets liked what he was saying but now is the time frame to deliver the russia the russian Executive Orders we have seen at the weekend. If we dont see the rollback of financial regulation, that could be a problem. Swiftly switching, i want to talk about the worst performing currency and the world, the turkish lira. They are expected to raise Interest Rates, which is interesting. They have had a lot of pressure from president erred again to cut Interest Rates to boost the economy. However, the currency, it has really taken a bashing in the last few months since the two last year. They need to hike Interest Rates to stem that that line. We will see whether or not an increase in the benchmark rate is expected. They will have to do more than that. Here is an economy that has been hammered. You talk about the coup, the terrorist bombs, dropping tourism. Absolutely. This is just boosting inflation, dropping tourism. Absolutely. This isjust boosting inflation, the dropping tourism. Absolutely. This is just boosting inflation, the fall in the year as well. Thank you for coming in. Still to come its estimated to be worth over 50 billion. We get the inside track on the global baby Food Industry after the break. Youre with Business Live from bbc news. The Prime Minister will today unveil the governments vision of a more interventionist, Industrial Strategy for britain. Theresa may will launch the plans at her first regional Cabinet Meeting which is happening in the north west of england. Ben thompson is at a fuel Processing Plant in warrington to see what this could mean for business. So it depends on what she says business though, ben, hoping it is all good stuff obviously . Yes, good morning to you both. Welcome to warrington and it does depend who you speak to because we have been speaking to business all morning and some saying help for business very welcome, but others saying governmentjust welcome, but others saying government just leave it welcome, but others saying governmentjust leave it to us. We can cope without much intervention. We are at this oil Processing Plant. It comes in as this so called base oil and this is how it ends up. This is the finished product. You will probably be used to stuff like this on the shelf. This place is interesting because it really tells a story about what we will hear from theresa may later, because it is not just about investing in hard infrastructure, roads and railways and internet connections, but in research and development. If you ta ke research and development. If you take a look at this, this is a brand new £3 million head office, u psta i rs brand new £3 million head office, upstairs will be the offices, but downstairs is the big research and Development Labs where they will come up with new and more efficient ways of doing what they do here, thats what will be important. As you can see behind me, the truck there, thats also important because without spending on infrastructure and the roads and the railways well frankly those trucks wont be able to get around. So what well hear from theresa may slaer this ten point plan. It is a ten point plan to get business working again and the Prime Minister says she wa nts all and the Prime Minister says she wants all people wherever they live in the country, from all corners of the country to feel the benefits of economic growth. She will layout the plan later and it includes support for local business groups, support for local business groups, support for research and development and training, but crucially, also for that so called hard infrastructure, the roads and the railways and the internet connections. So we will hear from internet connections. So we will hearfrom here. Her. There will be full coverage on bbc news. Thank you very much indeed, ben thompson up north for us today. He is at an oil and lubricant factory. Youre watching Business Live.

You said you worked in this industry for many, many years, before you became a parent, you are italian and you lived in the uk and the us, but what youre trying to bring through with this food thats different is the fact that there is more veg in it, it has got the mediterranean touch . Proteins, really coming through, the mediterranean approach to eating. Aaron says, it is a really, really busy market. All my boys have grown up. They are beyond this food, but i remember when they were small andi but i remember when they were small and i would go to the supermarket shelf, have you tried it. No. There is loads of different types of food and many told me they are organic and home made and it is Fresh Produce and all perfect for your child and there is so much pressure on you to pick the right thing. What we were hearing from parents first of all to get more of interesting, innovative blends. One of our top sellers is mango kale in asda and in waitrose we are selling really well our vegetable blends. 100 leek, pea, courgette with a hint of olive oil so really pushing up hint of olive oil so really pushing up the style and the flavour blends that are offered on shelf.

She is pinning her hopes on getting an early trade deal. We cant do a trade deal yet. We can talk about it. Two years before we can do something.

I didnt meet the robot, no. I bet the robot was a cracker. Dominic, short and sweet, weve got to wrap it up, thank you, mate. Thank you for your company too. We will see you tomorrow. Hello there. Its a very quiet Weather Story across the country at the moment, but at this time of year that can have its own set of problems. Fog was an issue first thing and some of that is slow to clear away. In one or two places it may linger. If you have got to be out and about, it is worth bearing in mind and perhaps tune into your local bbc Radio Station for updates. If the fog does linger, the temperatures will struggle, but elsewhere, once the fog lifts, we should see dry and sunny weather in the forecast. More of a breeze out towards the west and The Cloud Thickening here. Throughout the afternoon, if weve got fog and it does linger, temperatures will struggle to climb above freezing, if you get breaks and sunshine coming through, around four or five celsius, so not the warmest of days out there, but at least, it is sunshine. Milder out to the west. More sunshine as well. Highs likely of eight or nine celsius. There will be some fair weather cloud, but not a bad afternoon. Into Northern Ireland and scotland, the cloud and the breeze will start to pick up later on particularly to the west, but the far north east of scotland will stay dry and sunny. Temperatures here only four celsius. The reason the breeze is picking up is because there is a Weather Front trying to push in from the west. It will bring cloud and outbreaks of rain as it moves through Northern Ireland and Western Scotland through the night tonight so here, a milder night, but elsewhere, we see a return to more frost and fog particularly across eastern england. So it is another murky old start to the day. But with a bit more of the breeze out towards the west that should help lift the fog away. The cloud and drizzly rain pushes into north west england and wales. More cloud here generally, but a milder feel. We might see double digits likely with ten or 11 celsius and colder in the east with top temperatures of four to six celsius. Not much change in the Weather Story. There will be more of a breeze i suspect with the Weather Fronts trying to push in from the lantic, but they are not making much ofan in road, lantic, but they are not making much of an in road, but with the isobars squeezing together, the wind is more ofa squeezing together, the wind is more of a feature, it means fog shouldnt bea of a feature, it means fog shouldnt be a significant. So the fog will clear later in the week. The wind will be quite chilly at times. Milder by the weekend though. Hello, its monday, its nine oclock. Im Joanna Gosling in for victoria.
