yes, it certainly has. xi jinping has been speaking very glowingly all week in beijing about the belt and road initiative, as you might imagine, he was talking about the bri transcending cultures, civilisations, stages of development and the many ways he is talking about projects like this stop whoosh, southeastern asia's first high—speed rail line, a top speed 350 kilometres per hour, meaning there is no trait outside china that is faster than this. but it's not been without controversy like a lot of chinese backed bri projects are so what better way to find out than take a ride for myself? this is the fastest train in all of southeast asia. it is certainly faster than any train in the us or the uk. right now, i'm injakarta, and i'm heading to bandung. if we were driving it will take about three hours, but with whoosh it would take about 45 minutes. this was not supposed to be have built by china. japan with their famous system whether heavy favourites to win the bed and they said they'd finance the project, with basically 0% interest, but they needed a guarantee from the indonesian government that they'd step in with money if anything went wrong. but china came in with a counteroffer and said we will be this cheaper, quicker, and we don't need any guarantee from indonesian government. but they did want to% interest on their loan. well, indonesia picked china, to many people's surprise, but in the end of this project is three years late, it is $2 billion over budget and the interest rate has gone up to 3.4%. oh, and the indonesian government did have to fork out some money in the end. we are in bandung. it was pretty fast, i've got to say, and to be fair, this isn't the first railway line in the world that is late or over budget. countries like indonesia are hungry for infrastructure and china can provide that. when it goes well, it is a win—win. the problem is that when things don't go according to plan, the risks — political, economic, environmental, they do seem to be a bit one—sided, but that is simply something that indonesia was willing to accept when it jumped on the bri train. another thing xijinping another thing xi jinping said this week is when china does well the rest of the world does better. that really is at the heart of the whole belt and road initiative. let's be clear, these sorts of trains, airports, read around the world would not exist were it not for china and people are very proud here. people are taking self is all around me this morning. in terms of who this will benefit is another question. ticket prices are really expensive, the indonesian government has admitted even the best case scenario it will take decades for this to break even so it's a great project on paper, whether it would benefit ordinary indonesians is another question. mi ordinary indonesians is another cuestion. �* question. all right, we will leave it there _ question. all right, we will leave it there but - question. all right, we will leave it there but thank . question. all right, we will| leave it there but thank you for that report from indonesia. nick marsh reporting from jakarta. now to numbers from netflix. the streaming platform now has more than 240 million subscribers, adding 8.7 million of them just sincejune. the company said a crackdown on password sharing worked but it still needs to raise prices for some of its plans in the us, uk and france. in more news, tesla also reported results for the june to september quarter with both profit and revenue coming in below expectations. tesla said it has begun pilot production of the cyber truck, with the first deliveries scheduled for november, but owner elon musk says he doesn't expect a significant cash flow from the much anticipated vehicle for some time. the intelligence agencies from the uk, us, canada, australia new zealand known as the five eyes have issued a rarejoint statement accusing china of using artificial intelligence for spinal operations. comments were made after meetings with private companies in the us innovation hub of silicon valley. our business report has been following the story closely. good to have you back. give us a sense of understanding this. it is these are first—time delegations been made?
