reporting that it added million subscribers in the first three months of this year. that sounds like good news, doesn't it? last year the company lost subscribers the final six months. but, wall street was expecting it to have added 3 million subscribers. last year netflix reported not one, but two quarters where it lost customers. it was the first time the company has reported a loss in subscribers in ten years. these latest results show a gain in subscribers. that is good. but, it is actually much less then what investors were expecting. netflix have come up with a plan to try and crack down on password sharing. it was meant to roll out in this first quarter, but the company decided to hold back until the second quarter of the year. and to try to make up for lost subscribers last year, netflix created an ad funded streaming service which was cheaper, but subscribers would need to sit through adverts. if the company thought it left its woes in 2022, it seems that this earnings report does not seem like it has. samir hussein there. 25 years after it started selling products in india apple has finally launched its first physical retail store in the country. the boss tim cook inaugurated the store and financial capital moved a much fanfare. a second store will also be launched a second store will also be launched in new delhi on thursday. but why is apple opening stores now and why are they a big deal? our business correspondent explains. apple says hello goodbye. —— mumbai. amongst huge crowds and selfies and loyalists. the apple india story is 25 years old selling a range of products to thousands of its licensed premium resellers. but why is its story lodge such a big deal? it signals a shift in how apple views india. now a strategic market for the texturing. because of a growing customer base and boost from local manufacturing. apple has always been an aspirational brand. but out of reach for most indians. even now, i thoughts make up just 4% of the overall smartphone sales. comparing it to i% smartphone sales. comparing it to i% in smartphone sales. comparing it to i% in 2019 smartphone sales. comparing it to i% in 2019 shows the massive growth. it is not the most popular smartphone in the premium category. mil popular smartphone in the premium category. all this time in india we _ premium category. all this time in india we only _ premium category. all this time in india we only had _ premium category. all this time in india we only had two -

quarter. that's right. so from united airlines, they said - quarter. that's right. so from| united airlines, they said they are bullish for the rest of the year same from april onwards they should see a huge surge in demand and as a result of this we have seen shares up about 1.5% in after—hours trading. but yes, things were not as goodin but yes, things were not as good in the first three months of this year. the airline reported in almost $200 million loss which sounds like a lot, but it is far smaller than at the same time last year where they reported a $1.1; billion loss. so it does show that some things are looking up. in terms of what drove this loss, a couple of things, first, higher food rule —— fuel cost. the war in ukraine has done havoc to the energy market and we have seen the price ofjet fuel skyrocket. the other element is that of labour costs. so many airlines let off staff during the pandemic and put them on more for him contracts and now having to pay a premium in order to keep the staff back. something driving up profit for airlines is that they are saying that they are getting more money per seat sold. so as we have been seen, anyone flying recently will tell you that there is far fewer spare seats on a flight. part of this is because we are seeing airline, aircraft that were out of the commission during the pandemic, a tighter aircraft capacity that meaning seats are at a premium, fewerflights then driving up profit margins. as a result the united states are likely to see profits going forward from april this year, similar remarks were made by delta and american airlines over the last couple of weeks. here in terms of this region we are seeing is well increased costs. higherthe are seeing is well increased costs. higher the online search providerforflight sing cost provider for flight sing cost between providerforflight sing cost between australia and london are more than 50% before the pandemic question is are they here to stay. that is what many of us are watching for.- of us are watching for. thank ou so of us are watching for. thank you so much _ of us are watching for. thank you so much for— of us are watching for. thank you so much for that -
