new questions emerge about the safety of boeing 737 max planes as a airlines conduct inspections following a mid—flight incident. plus, ces, the world's biggest knowledge the fair is just getting under way. we are on the ground in vegas to tell you all about the latest trends. welcome to asia business report with me, mariko oi. we begin this morning with boeing because its shares have fallen by more than 8% on wall street. as it continues to reckon with the fallout from a midflight incident. involving a 737 max two operated by alaska airlines. there are renewed questions about the safety of the plane and there's in order to grant dozens of aircrafts that remain in effect. the plane maker has now put out a statement promising to help airlines address any findings that result from the inspections. erin delmore has more from new york. after a panel blew off a boeing 737 max 9s jet operated by alaska airlines midflight on friday, the faa grounded more

than 170 other max 9s. upon inspection, united airlines down problems with more doors, loose bolts on at least five panels in otherjets of that model, the news was reported by publication aircurrent. united stated in a statement that the company found instances that appear to relate to installation issues in the door plug for example, bolts that need tightening. the company also said that _ need tightening. the company also said that the _ need tightening. the company also said that the findings - also said that the findings will be checked by the team. shares fell 8% on monday in the incident return scrutiny to the company after the 2019 grounding of 737 maxjets. but united and alaska airlines of the two largest airlines and inspections could

cancelled flights for days. let's stay in the united states and head to las vegas where the world's biggest technology fair, ces, is getting started. it's expected around 130,000 visitors and not surprisingly, the theme is around artificial intelligence. michelle fleury is there and she told me many of the products that will be unveiled are powered by ai. this year the word has been artificial intelligence and unsurprisingly it is once again the hot topic here in vegas. i think you will see it running through pretty much every single product you can imagine and it will be there. i was looking at a piece earlier today that was a commendation of a fitness tracker and a health coach powered by artificial intelligence. combing through the data collected to make sense of it for users. that is the more useful end of things but we will see people try to jam it into everything because generator of ai has been so transformative. definitely one of the things to look for in

the question, really, certainly from the business immunity perspective is what does that mean going forward? what will it look like one decade from now, how much technology do we see here this week will be in existence in ten years time? and it is a great place to interview really hot tech entrepreneurs, isn't it? who do you hope to speak to without alerting the competition? fin alerting the competition? on the fun alerting the competition? (et the fun side of things you mention cars and for here carmakers here have shown their cars but increasingly those are becoming computers on wheels. and it is not so much autonomous stuff it will be a dialling back and a focus on electronic vehicle simply because that is where the consumer market is right now. that being said i am hoping to take a look at a flying taxi or a flying car. so we will see. they may not be something coming to the street anytime soon but it should be fun to have a look at.—

liability. there is a similar class action going on in the united kingdom but progress is slow. it united kingdom but progress is slow. , . , , slow. it is all grist my mill. it does not _ slow. it is all grist my mill. it does not help _ slow. it is all grist my mill. it does not help in - slow. it is all grist my mill. it does not help in terms i slow. it is all grist my mill. i it does not help in terms of moving my case forward dramatically. i am very pleased for the consumers in the united states who are now able to make a claim. ., ., , ., , a claim. how does it feel to be takin: a claim. how does it feel to be taking on _ a claim. how does it feel to be taking on a _ a claim. how does it feel to be taking on a big _ a claim. how does it feel to be taking on a big beast - a claim. how does it feel to be taking on a big beast like - taking on a big beast like apple? it taking on a big beast like a- le? , taking on a big beast like a. le? , ., ., apple? it is daunting in that resect apple? it is daunting in that respect but _ apple? it is daunting in that respect but the _ apple? it is daunting in that respect but the case - apple? it is daunting in that respect but the case is - apple? it is daunting in that respect but the case is a - apple? it is daunting in that l respect but the case is a good case and there are so many million people involved that i am enthusiastic about this. you have to be, otherwise you would never start. have to be, otherwise you would never start-— never start. here in the united kinudom never start. here in the united kingdom consumers _ never start. here in the united kingdom consumers will- never start. here in the united kingdom consumers will have l never start. here in the united | kingdom consumers will have to wait to see if they get a similar pay—out. all batteries lose power over time and apple says the iphone battery is good for 500 charges, going from zero to 100%. the 50% charge is half a cycle. there are power saving tips like dimming the

screen and limiting app functions but ultimately our stronger boundaries is a challenge for firms. apple said it had no statement for us. previously it said it would never intentionally shorten the life of its products. meanwhile here in asia the south korean tech giant samsung electronics says it is operating profit in the fourth quarter is estimated to have fallen by more than one third tojust over $2 to have fallen by more than one third to just over $2 billion. the duck projections are much worse than what analysts expected and that comes a court amid weak bible demand for consumer electronics. it will be a busy election year in many parts of asia. taiwan's polling day comes on saturday and next month indonesia, followed by india in april. let's hearfrom our reporters in taipei, jakarta and mumbai. this presidential _ jakarta and mumbai. this presidential election - jakarta and mumbai. this presidential election in i jakarta and mumbai. ti 3 presidential election in taiwan is being fought over one issue

years, sanctioning different taiwanese companies and business people. they want to see taiwanese companies diversify to other places, southeast asia and new markets in india and africa. the southeast asia and new markets in india and africa.— in india and africa. the race ofthe in india and africa. the race of the largest _ in india and africa. the race of the largest economy - in india and africa. the race of the largest economy in l of the largest economy in southeast asia currently sits at 53% _ southeast asia currently sits at 5.3% and those between the ages— at 5.3% and those between the ages of— at 5.3% and those between the ages of 15_ at 5.3% and those between the ages of 15 and 24 make up ages of15 and 24 make up nearly— ages of 15 and 24 make up nearly 150 of those unemployed. in a country of over 275 million _ in a country of over 275 million people, that is millions of young people struggling to find a job. all three — struggling to find a job. all three presidential candidates promised to create newjobs if you let — promised to create newjobs if you let it _ promised to create newjobs if you let it. each in a different wav — you let it. each in a different way. prabowo subianto says boosting _ way. prabowo subianto says boosting small and medium enterprises, which contribute 61% of — enterprises, which contribute 61% of the country's gdp will create — 61% of the country's gdp will create 19 _ 61% of the country's gdp will create 19 millionjobs. meanwhile, the next hopeful focuses _ meanwhile, the next hopeful focuses on providing funds to young — focuses on providing funds to young people to start a business. and lastly the third
