business news live from singapore. the owner of kfc, pizza hut and taco bell in china reports of strong profits thanks to hungry consumers. and handmade guitars from the philippines. turning to the internet to save a vanishing craft. good morning, asia and hello, world, glad you could join us for this edition of asia business report. it has been 30 years since the first kfc restau ra nt 30 years since the first kfc restaurant opened in china. the company has come a long way and its owner reported its latest results and the profit is up by nearly 40% other than kfc it also owns pizza

hut and taco bell. there are more than 7600 outlets throughout the mainland. consumers have shown their appetite for western—style fried chicken and pizza. spinning off its china business has certainly paid off. the sceptics were wrong. if you look at china there is a yen to spend. not only do they have a yen to spend they also have you won. what we are seeing is that chinese consumers want to spend money. —— yuan to spend. can this be sustained bombing forward with the fast changing tastes of mainland consumers? what we saw last night... we have to remember that yum china owns three brands. taco bell, pizza hut and kfc. i am getting hungry now. what we saw that picture and

chicken were flat. as a result, what happens to yum china is that all have to do well. even though the profits were good, we saw that sales we re profits were good, we saw that sales were flat. so they had to offset the wea kness were flat. so they had to offset the weakness of each other. but 7600 stores and counting, this is a huge chain in mainland china. will new branches bring growth or drain the cash flow? you could do a little bit of both. 30 years ago they had one store. now they have over 7000. that is in 30 years. they want to 600 stores this year and that will be quite significant. the problem is that they then start to cannibalise their own stores. what we are focusing on at the moment are the first tier cities, shanghai, beijing for example. but when we dropped to the legatees, it becomes a more

challenging. how about the stigmas of the food scandals from years ago. has that been forgotten? i think it has. consumers are rolled by ruled by their stomach rather than their head. 0nce by their stomach rather than their head. once they are hungry, they will eat. there are occasionally food scares but they have been put in the past and they are focusing on the future. volvo, owned by china's company has become the first carmaker to announce it will no longer make petrol or diesel only vehicles. from 2019 all of their models will be electric or hybrid. he drives up in a 19 oh weight model t. the shape has changed a bit over the years but thank goodness when it comes to the brown allegro. all these cars have one thing in common, an internal combustion engine

turning petrol or diesel. we have relied on it for a century but is that about to change? volvo is taking a bold step, heralding the end ofan taking a bold step, heralding the end of an era of the pure internal combustion engine. from 2019, volvo says all its new models will be at least partly electric. ambitious plans but experts say it won't be quick. diesel and petrol will have plans but experts say it won't be quick. diesel and petrolwill have a long live in them yet. people choose to adopt hybrids before they go electric. this sums up one of the big street —— reasons why electric ca i’s big street —— reasons why electric ca rs have big street —— reasons why electric cars have not been adopted. 0ften you cannot park near your house so how can you charge your electric car? cities are plagued by pollution with diesel engines one of the main culprits. electric cars are quieter and cleaner. they are getting cheaper with a better range. it will still be some years before the

internal combustion engine drives off for good. if you like beef and chicken it is likely you have eaten a brazilian product in recent months. the country accounts for almost one fifth of all meat exporter in the world. of this year, local police unveiled a bribery scheme where health officials allow tainted meat to reach school meals and supermarket shelves. companies involved denied wrong doing the shares plunged by a0%. can the reputation big repaired? —— be repaired? the reputation big repaired? —— be repaired ? the cattle reputation big repaired? —— be repaired? the cattle here roam free in the fields. since brazil's gbs codes down the local meat processing plant, ranches here have no—one to sell me too. translation: this is not foot and mouth disease. this was

caused by corporate corruption. the prices have fallen sharply. farmers like this man are part of an army of 4 million people who helped to turn brazil into one of the top meat producing nations in the world. now a scandal involving a leading company down here is bringing uncertainty to what was once an very profitable business. all those they say food safety was not compromised, negative headlines are taking their toll on the meat industry. transocean toll on the meat industry. tra nsocean mack the toll on the meat industry. transocean mack the brazilian government needs to act to get the message across that much brazilian mate is safe for consumption and defend its reputation. but with the government at war against the country's top meat country, that is unlikely to happen any time soon. that war now has millions of farmers worried about the future of their businesses. a reputation that took

decades to establish will take years to repair. a city in the philippines considers itself the guitar country of —— centre of the country. they have been given access to new markets via the internet that they face unique challenges. when karaoke came, people started singing karaoke instead of the guitar. there is a karaoke every 50 metres. we filipinos, we love to seeing. one of the biggest challenges is the factory produced guitars. we prioritise quality over quantity.

we prioritise quality over quantity. we would like to show everyone that there are still filipino maid guitars that are very good quality. handcrafted guitars are so much better in terms of quality. the way we build our guitars is actually done by a single luthier, from start to finish. that makes it unique and a work of art. no two guitars are alike. 70% of the guitars and ukuleles are online and the rest are walk—in customers. like before where the

clients we get a mostly from the philippines, it is easier for us to showcase our products and our with everything online. we have one brand, we ship the item without strings. and they slap the rembrandt on it. there are other ones we were gone from start to finish and wish it goes direct to the customer. there are less and less people working on this craft. the skill is not being passed from one generation to another. even though we can train them, the interest is not there. we hold onto oui’ interest is not there. we hold onto our passion of making quality instruments. let the people understand that there are still handcrafted instruments like that. beautifully made handcrafted guitars

and ukuleles from the philippines. before we go, let's have a look at the markets. the all ordinaries is down because petroleum producers have lost steam after an eight session winning streak. thank you for investing your time with us. the top stories this hour: at the united nations, the us ambassador has described north korea's intercontinental ballistic missile test as a sharp military escalation. heavy floods caused by unprecedented rain have forced almost 400,000 people to leave their homes in the southern japanese island of kyushu. victims of harassment and stalking in england and wales are being left at risk because of failings

by police and prosecutors, according to an official report. both the inspectorate of constabulary and the crown prosecution service inspectorate found that crimes weren't being recorded, investigations were poorly conducted and legal protection wasn't offered to enough victims. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw reports. an attack by a stalker that could have been prevented. helen pearson suffered neck and face wounds when her neighbour, joseph lewis, stabbed her with a pair of scissors. it was the culmination of a five—year stalking campaign that involved vandalism and graffiti. helen made 125 reports to devon and cornwall police about her stalker‘s escalating violence, but she wasn't taken seriously and the force has now apologised. we would report this to the police and it was like, it was almost like they didn't want to know, they didn't take me seriously. and then, we later

learned that they... i always felt that they weren't believing me, but we laterfind out that it is worse than that, they thought i was doing it to myself. so, they didn't really believe you? no. and how did that make you feel? hopeless. desperate. a new inspection report, living in fear, says police and prosecutors are failing to deal with stalking and harassment at every stage of the criminal justice process in england and wales. it found that allegations weren't being recorded by police. in some forces, there were no risk assessments of the threat posed to victims and police were giving official warnings to offenders rather than carrying out thorough investigations. both stalking and harassment occurs as a result of really pernicious and persistent offending. and officers and prosecutors were missing that, which meant that victims were left at risk.

in response to the criticisms, the national police chief's council said it is contacting forces to make sure officers improve the way they use their powers to tackle harassment and stalking. the crown prosecution service says it will make sure every prosecutor undergoes training. danny shaw, bbc news. now it is time for sports today. hello, i'm nick marshall—mccormack, and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on the show: no worries for the world number one. andy murray does it easy on wednesday at wimbledon. but two—times champion petra kvitova has been knocked out, saying she couldn't breathe and was feeling sick. and he's back in the yellow — chris froome takes the lead in the tour de france. hi, there, wherever you are around the world, welcome to sport today.
