I think it was slowly kind of simmering for four weeks now, ever since, of course, she made those comments, the Prime Minister of Japan. So certainly now it seems to be coming to a bit more of intensity here. And we're hearing from Japanese public broadcaster NHK, now saying a senior diplomat is visiting China this week in a bid to soothe tensions over the Prime Minister's comments on Taiwan.Let's bring in our China correspondent Minmin Low to talk us through. What's the latest. Yeah, certainly.It seems lik ...

Is this a game changer for Ford at all to be able to sell its used vehicles on Amazon. It's sort of Ford putting a toe in the water and doing a deal with Amazon. Hyundai was the first to get on the Amazon auto's portal about a year ago and they're selling new cars.Ford is coming with its certified use cars first to see how that goes. They are getting a lot of interest from their dealers and if they do this in partnership with their dealers. But it will sort of address these issues that consumers have about ...

I would say the brilliance of the BBC. It was designed as an institution that would be fairer and offer truth and fairness. To a British audience and subsequently to a worldwide audience with the worldwide news network.And in many ways, American television was built on that standard. And so giving that trust up, giving that opportunity up, I think, would be a mistake. How do they restructure emotionally.How do they recapture the minds of the United Kingdom to say, you can trust us. It's been shattered with ...

Life insurance, annuities, and pensions have been one of America's most sacred promises for generations. You pay your premiums, put your time in the job, and in return, your family is protected. But over the past decade, the playbook behind that promise has been quietly rewritten. Private equity firms drawn by the trillions that American have tucked away in life insurance and annuities have taken over a growing share of the industry. Instead of investing in mundane bones and blue jeep stocks, they've used t ...

It is a win-win situation to start with 15 billion US dollars within 5 years time. Then we are having human resources also to work AI. Now we are very strong in information technology.

One thing that you also uh referenced a little bit is the quality of the public corporate credit market is better than it's been historically. It's way better than it was prior to the global financial crisis where you've had all kinds of garbage lending going on. But in recent years, the garbage lending has not gone to the public markets. The garbage lending has gone to these private markets.And private credit has been very popular and is now increasingly been overallocated to by large asset pools. I was at ...

I'm on the banks of the Rio Grand in Mission, Texas, where the US Coast Guard has joined a failance of security operations along the US border with Mexico, deploying from docks like this behind me. They are joining the likes of the state of Texas and the US Border Patrol, all with the same aim. Seal the border and have zero crossings from Mexico into the United States.Operation Riverwalk was launched in early October after a summer uptick of arrests along the southwest border, including in South Texas. Whil ...

what is our ambition for growth. Uh Mario Draghi gave us a diagnosis. How much have we executed.Not more than 10% in one year. So we have to have a much greater ambition on delivering on those recommendations. Um I've said it publicly, you know, if taxes every euro we make in Europe, 58 cents go to the government.Every dollar we make in the United States, 42. That's not a small number, but it's, you know, significantly lower. So, excess regulation, excess taxation actually is a tax on the economy and growth ...

The most ridiculous argument of all for private credit has been private credit belongs in every portfolio because it lets you sleep at night, because it helps you ride out the volatility of your public credit. Again, that's just a repackaging of the volatility. If you don't market to market, there's no volatility.But if the price goes from zero in a matter of a few weeks, there's something something untoward is going on. And so I'm very, very negative on those types of, you know, non-transparent markets. It ...
