Justice department ahead of their first hearing over unlocking an iphone. The company reiterated its argument that congress should decide what Law Enforcement can do to compel it and others to cooperate and criminal investigations. That the government is making ,nreasonably burdensome demands forcing apple to create software to degrade iphones security features, inevitably endangering the security of many people. The rhetoric has grown heated in the last few weeks. This filing is the last scheduled before a march 22 hearing. Chinas secondlargest insurer has seen a jump in profits, rising 38 , net income climbed to 8. 3 billion. This came on the back of investment returns and revenue as the Insurance Company benefited from volatility. Invest in income doubled to 15. 8 billion, while premiums from life concerns insurance jumped to 46 billion. Ans directors of big business is now online. Insurance wille be sought online. On this front, we were in that trend quite early. We have been developing our internet business. I think this is a trend. It can be disruptive. The cfo talking to us earlier. Right, were looking at the wealth of the richest 400 people on the planet combined, trillion, a shade larger than the german economy. Have a look at that at bloomberg. Com asia. Coming up, if you have filled in a survey online, its likely it was conducted by surveymonkey. Volatility ramps up on u. S. Markets. Thats next.

They are meeting that request from the union. Abe trying to increase wages. Hopefully to get the economy going again and raising inflation to that 2 target. For thehat we have moment, nissan set to raise its base rate five ¥3000 a month. Elsewhere, our next guest says that even though actually, we will get over to beijing. We will have a look at the i npc as it draws to an end. President xi jinping making that once he year press conference. He will meet the press, if you will. It is not an unscripted event. Questions are vetted and fully scripted and approved by the government. He will state his case for the economy Going Forward this year as he did on march 5 in his work report. Now his job is to send the delegates off to create some 10 million new jobs in this economy that should grow at at least 6. 5 , perhaps upwards of 7 . That is the growth the premier says that is needed for full employment in china. Wage stagnation is a problem as well as the economy is shifting into a more consumer driven, surfacesled economy. Led economy. The mood is different in years past. Delegates have been asked to not talk to the press, keep to the script, and a bit more nervousness as we approach next years party congress, where new leaders will be picked, so more subdued this year, more on script. It will be interesting even though the questions will be scripted, it will be interesting speaks how the premier semioffthecuff later today. Thats the message he wants to send to all the ferent propositions provinces in china come up what what about foreign business . China, but what about foreign business . China is open for business. As they go through restructuring, 1. 8 million jobs could be lost in the steel and Coal Industries as they embark on supplyside reforms as they overhaul state own inner prizes. State owned enterprises. Theyre looking for more state own national champions, getting bigger as they merge industries together into larger state champions that will go abroad and compete more efficiently with Foreign Companies that come into china. There is optimism. There is open this to a certain degree, but they want more openness, and particular financial services, telecoms, so as they restructure the economy, there will be opportunities, but a lot of Foreign Company suretly tell us we are not how much of that will be open to us. If he gives any assurances to today, itn community might be lipservice, but it wont necessarily be open to the foreign community. Rishaad thank you. More coverage of the National Peoples congress as it winds down later today. Though the Federal Reserve is likely to take action today, several factors may give us more reason to raise rates. The chief executive of Td Ameritrade joins us now. Lets kick things off with the Way Investors have positioned themselves. We have seen a bit of pushback, a feeling that we get no movement, but that has all changed. I would think so. Over the last month, slower economic growth, lower earnings have been overlooked by the sectorsso you have all at highs over the last month. What has been a big push to this , as the Energy Markets have pushed up a little bit and youve gotten better news globally is you have a little stabilization in the overall market, giving some support. Rishaad what we have the primaries today. Its looking like we could see donald trump cemented himself as a front runner, and hillary as well. A trumpclinton fight for the presidency plays out when it comes to the market play out when it comes to the market in your view . Markets like clarity. Will beoks like it Hillary Clinton and donald trump, that will get some clarity. However, i dont think until we get closer to the actual election, later part of the summer, that we will see people take larger positions. Hillary being good for wall street, donald a wild card. Were not sure about some of the things that come out of his mouth these days. Until we get more clarity, i dont anticipate large biases upside or downside until we get closer to that november date. Rishaad lets have a look at markets in this part of the world. Is the volatility now over with . Do you think markets have momentum . I think so. As you get more clarity, especially out of china, the National Peoples congress is ending today. It helps to calm currency turbulence, overall volatility in the stock markets. As long as we continue on that path, i think were looking for to at least have some stabilization nearterm, which helps the overall economy. Things are so intertwined these days, china, europe, and the u. S. , basically you wakeup in the morning and here in asia and see what the u. S. Did. So as long as we stay on this path and nothing greatly changes , i think were looking for a more stabilized market out of china and the u. S. As well. Rishaad thank you so much for your time. Right, lets tell you about what we have on the way. Tumble on reports the foxconn deal is on hold. The latest life in tokyo. That is coming up next. Rishaad you are back with trending business. Today. Osediving what is going on this time . Our sources are telling us the latest holdup is over sharps most recent earning quarter the court currently running. Foxconn once more clarity on how much the company will make her lose in the quarter. The preferred stock is held by that foxconnillion has prepared the banks, we are hearing that they may want to negotiate that lower. This is on top of the liability issue, which could be in excess of ¥100 billion. Still up in the air, isnt it . What is foxconn offering sharp . Plane major part of the would be ¥500 billion in fusion in the form of new stock. Sharp will use ¥200 billion to develop a next generation of smartphone and ipad displays. ¥100 billion will go to existing lcd operations, with the rest being used for various restructuring. To retain quite a bit of managerial independence, and potentially keep all of its businesses together. Rishaad ok. Thank you very much indeed for that. This deal between foxconn and sharp, when will it get done . As soon as it does, we will bring it to you. Coming up, more states hold primaries. Ohio and florida in the fray. Were looking at the days big winners. Rishaad a look at our top stories. Has dropped out of the republican president ial race after losing to donald trump. Donald trump has lost ohio to john kasich. Hillary clinton taking florida, ohio, and North Carolina. Apple has the announced the order to unlock an iphone is beyond the limits. Apple says the government assertions that it has helped other countries is completely untrue. No country in the world has made a request like the one we are seeing, asking apple to write software to degrade and eliminate encryption protections of iphone users. Apple is acting consistently. It is the Justice Department and acting withones such authority. We feel we have to draw the line in terms of the law here. The closure of National Peoples congress after almost two weeks of discussions on balancing growth with reform. The goal of creating 10 million new jobs while reducing overcapacity and traditional industries. He says the target of 6. 5 gdp growth will allow for relatively full employment. Markets at the as the marketpc opens in hong kong. The last couple of weeks of discussions, soulsearching about what will happen in terms of chinas economic rebalancing.

Governor kuroda speaking to there is roomying for cutting Interest Rates further into negative territory. Primaries,e u. S. John kasich speaking in ohio, the states governor, assumed to have taken at state, saying he is going all the way to the convention. This is hot on the heels of ,onald trump taking florida taking him closer to becoming the nominee for the Republican Party in the president ial election. Or talking also about Hillary Clinton, shutting out Bernie Sanders in three states, so the night forhaving a big Hillary Clinton, but a mixed night when it comes to donald trump. This. S about what a day. Megan another night of interesting surprises. Inig night for john kasich that he gives to continue his campaign. It is a terrible night for marco rubio, who suspended his campaign after Donald Trumps staggering victory in florida. We expected the race to tighten, and it didnt. Marco rubio had to drop out of this race and suspend his campaign for now. John kasich has always had a strategy of taking this to the convention. He is still taking delegates away from donald trump. Whether or not this can be continued and he can replicate and perform strongly in other states, maybe the northeast, we shall see, but right now he needs money to keep that campaign going. Cruz . D what about ted what will happen with the Establishment Republicans who are not take fans of him . With a further backing behind john kasich . I think they will be throwing the backing behind both of them to stop trump. It can only succeed if donald trump does not get to the number of delegates he needs to secure the nomination outright. It is difficult as he held ted cruz or john kasich could win those delegates, so basically the strategy, if the establishment has a strategy, is to stop him any which way they can. They obviously prefer john kasich as a candidate, but ted cruz is going to be ahead in terms of doug numbers. Choice ofo be the antiestablishment voters flocking to this election and backing him or donald trump. Ted cruz is no favorite of the establishment wing of the Republican Party. Rishaad clinton with a substantial delegate lead. Your colic was saying she looks like a shoe in to have that nomination colleague was saying that she looks like a shooin to have that nomination. Money. Ers has a lot of we expected him to do better tonight after his upset victory in michigan. We thought that would carry through in some of the electorate like ohio and illinois. We are still watching illinois. A expected him to get more of bump tonight. He has a really strong message, clamping down on free trade, income equality, free education, and those of the messages he was wantsg get across he to get across and push Hillary Clinton as far to the left as he can. The question people are asking, what next in this drama . We can barely predict it week to week. Byare seeing donald trump not winning ohio, a bump in the road for him. This is going to be a more drawnout thing. We could be going to the convention, to june. He could still cleanup and secure the nomination, but this will be a longer process than we thought it would be when it looked like he might take all five states tonight. I dont think anybody can predict. I sure wouldnt want to start making predictions now. Rishaad thank you very much indeed for that. The latest on these primers taking place in the u. S.
