china is about to reveal its latest gross numbers. will it show the economy slowing down of stabilising? we visit somebody that helps capture the imagination of millions of fans around the world. good morning asia, hello world. it's‘s the start of a brand—new trading week, glad you could join us. very soon, china will be unveiling its latest economic growth numbers. officials say they are changing the way they calculate what makes up the economy, by including contributions from

healthcare, tourism including contributions from healthca re, tourism and including contributions from healthcare, tourism and the new economy. the last time chinese authorities changed how their gdp was calculated was in 2002. this will give us a better indication of how well the mainland guru from april— june this year. earlier, the china economist with hsbc told me that this reflects the chinese transitioning economy. we have seen over the past two years that the new economy set is in hiring and manufacturing have been outperforming the rest of the economy. a lot of them are growing in double digits. even though they are starting from relatively modest sizes, on the whole, they are of a sufficient size to be recognised. healthcare, tourism sufficient size to be recognised. healthca re, tourism and sufficient size to be recognised. healthcare, tourism and economy, will this bump up economic growth for the chinese economy in the

long—term or the medium—term? for the chinese economy in the long-term or the medium-term? the statistical calculations have shown that the immediate impact may not be as big. we are expecting gdp to be 6.8% for the second quarter of this year, a very marginal slowdown from the first quarter at 6.9. there is no doubt that over the medium term, this will be a very significant shift. it reflects a strong transformation of the chinese economy. when is a significant shift, how many percentage points could this add to growth? shift, how many percentage points could this add to growth7m shift, how many percentage points could this add to growth? it is difficult to say at this point, we are still forecasting very much into the future. to give you a sense, we're looking at manufacturing and services sectors growing in double digits year over year. traditional manufacturing sectors, up until last, were still facing deflation. the diverters between the sectors,

new growth and traditional businesses, are actually quite stark. i think over time it will be a significant contribution. in other business headlines: ahead of the second round of brexit talks, the british chancellor has told the bbc that businesses are holding off from investing in the uk because of concern about the exit.” from investing in the uk because of concern about the exit. i think it is absolutely clear that businesses, where they had discretion over investment and they can hold off, they are doing so. you can understand why. they are waiting for more clarity about what the future relationship with europe will look like. the way to get the economy moving, to restore business confidence and consumer confidence, is to give as much clarity as possible as early as possible, which is why i have been talking of the last four or five weeks of the

importance of a transition arrangement. i believe the great majority of my colleagues now recognise that that is the right and sensible way to go, both in the uk and the european union. uber‘s biggest rival in southeast asia could be about to get a big financial injection. they could be seeing a $2 billion investment in the company. if it goes ahead, it would make grabbed the most valuable start up in the region at $5 billion us. one company has decided to go on strike for the 50 year in a row over negotiations for better pay. they are making better plans for the staff walkouts. property developers in asia have not had an easy time over the past few years. from china to singapore, governments have

where to begin. i havejust spotted a prop from gamer thrones, but nothing can beatjohn snow. here is my chance to try my hand at his cloa k. my chance to try my hand at his cloak. it is fairly heavy, i don't know how he does it. i even have his sword. and what isjohn snow without his trusty weapon? this is where his swords are made. the largest factory of its kind, located in the foothills of the himalayas. they make every type of thought, from heavy steel to light titanium. it supplies two armies around the world, but it swords are not sold commercially in india. what we possess is only i would say, 2%. sometimes it can stretch into 30%, it depends on the movie. but it is mostly seasonal. this army business

opposed to his focus on jobs and the economy during brexit. he also addressed claims he'd described public sector workers as overpaid. here's eleanor garnier. he's the man of the moment, though not for the reasons he'd like. for the second time this week, the chancellor has found himself defending private comments in public. this time accused of saying public sector workers are overpaid. something he did not deny. i have told you, i'm not going to talk about what comes out of a private cabinet... five of your colleagues have. they shouldn't have done, frankly, because cabinet meetings are supposed to be a private space in which we have a serious discussion. i am the chancellor. you would expect me to put any discussion about public sector pay in the context of the fiscal and economic situation that we face. among the millions of public sector workers, it's teachers out protesting today, plus others like police

officers and nurses who faced a 1% pay cap since 2012. celebrating workers' rights at a festival in dorset, the labour leader accused the chancellor of being out of touch. i think he's living on a different planet to many others. public sector workers have had frozen wages for the past seven yea rs. health workers in reality have had a 14% cut in pay. many teachers don't stay on in the profession because they can't afford to find somewhere to live on the salaries they get and the strain they are under because of shortages. the chancellor hinted today there could be better news for public sector workers at the budget later this year, but in an unusual move, he slapped down cabinet rivals briefing against him. some of the noise is generated by people who are not happy with the agenda that i have, over the last few weeks, tried to advance of ensuring that we achieve a brexit which is focused

on protecting our economy, protecting our jobs and making sure we can have continued rising living standards in the future. one of the cabinet's prominent leave campaigners, the international trade secretary, denied being behind the briefings. i absolutely deplore leaks from the cabinet. i think my colleagues should be very quiet, stick to their own departmental duties, and i think that the public expect us to be disciplined and effective, our backbenchers are furious and the only people smiling at this will be in berlin and paris. public sector workers continue to make their concerns known. as it seems do members of the cabinet, who, with the prime minister's authority in tatters, are in no mood to do as they are told. hello, i'm marc edwards at and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme:
