close on wednesday. the stock has soared more than 90% this year alone this off the back of enthusiasm that al will boost corporate profit. the question is will al's big spenders, the likes the question is will al's big spenders, the likes of amazon, microsoft continue to place orders and drive sales and profit growth? or is that trajectory beginning to ease? wall street is betting the chipmaker will exceed expectations. in other news, pixar animation studios known for producing classic films like toy story, is laying off roughly 14% of its workforce. this is part of broader restructuring by parent company walt disney, and reflects a move away from the production of original content for the disney plus streaming service. instead, pixarwill refocus on feature films. these layoffs follow similar cuts made injune last year. to another big story we have been covering newsday. a singapore airlines flight was hit with severe turbulence causing the death of one passenger and injuries to several others. the london—to singapore flight was forced to make an emergency landing in bangkok. both singapore and the us will be sending safety investigators to assess the incident, while boeing has also offered its support to the airline. for more on the singapore airlines incident, head over to our website, where you can get more details on our live page. now to india, where latest data shows airline passenger traffic grew at the slowest pace in 13 months after what's been a solid performance for the industry post—covid. our india business correspondent nikhil inamdar sent us this report on what's plaguing the sector. passenger growth has been continuously coming off over the last year from highs of about 22% in april 2023 to just over 2.5% last month. there are a number of reasons for that. despite high demand, india's have been battling a range of supply—side concerns from dozens of aircraft being grounded due to engine issues to carriers like air india having staff go on sick leave due to salary disputes. others have been going bankrupt and spicejet fighting a cash crunch. fares have been skyhigh and that has led to smaller traffic. but overall for both international and domestic sectors, passenger traffic is expected to grow this year according to one particular estimate. reaching about 407—480 million due to a strong pickup in both leisure and business travel here in india. japan is turning out to be a popular tourist destination this year. it welcomed 2.7 million visitors injanuary and a little more in february. foreign visitor arrivals hit a new monthly record in march, past the 3 million mark, and remained strong last month. one of the main attractions — weakness in the japanese currency, the yen. while businesses are celebrating, local residents are not happy about the large crowds. the town of fujikawaguchiko has erected a barrier to block an iconic view of mount fuji. according to residents there, visitors are littering and parking illegally. i spoke with the boss of japan's largest travel agenchtb, and asked him how his company was keeping up with the demand. the weak yen is the major factor of course. but the nation is popular, and attractions are increasing. and that is why more tourists are coming in. you've been a victim of your own success and there has been some level of unhappiness among residents in certain towns and cities injapan. who are concerned about too many tourists and perhaps not abiding by local etiquette. how do you address this? it is true that tourists are concentrated in major cities like tokyo and kyoto. it will continue but we are trying to make the tourist destinations diverse, develop new routes, such as the rainbow route along the seaside according to the opening of the new bullet train route and also including other regions where we create other routes to make people travel to other destinations. on top of that we are trying to introduce a way for people to book in advance to try and mitigate the concentration. the timing of the visit. so that kind of effort is necessary. we ta ke we take a look at the technology that allows referees to look back at decisions they make. this is touch. it is a bit like rugby but instead of tackling place untouched to get control of ball. if defenders have not intercepted the ball after six touches they get to be the attackers. it is fast and the ref has to be everywhere at once. and deal with things like this. how everywhere at once. and deal with things like this.- with things like this. how far alon: ? with things like this. how far along? you _ with things like this. how far along? you have _ with things like this. how far along? you have to -
