to the local law enforcement and specifically to jamar cotton, deputy sheriff here in the county. we are right now on the border between the us and mexico, new mexico side. the exact area is where the cut—off is for the current gate, and as you can see there is some wire and understands where the gate was supposed to be that it has discontinued. what would happen if someone crossed over now into the us? you would see a lot of lights and faster vehicles coming this way. before they got to the gate probably. basically it is easy access over on both sides. and people cross over no problem? i wouldn't say no problem but it is easy access so there is usually people out here that is watching the area and stuff like that so it is just one of those hot areas where people come over. as deputies we are not here for immigration issues we are here to make sure that drugs aren't being brought over here,

1:49 pm
let's try night—time. not good enough? how about leaving the plane but not actually leaving the plane? yeah, i'm on the beach. virtual reality headsets, they are expected to play a big part in our future flying. i wish this was smell—o—vision and not television, because believe it or not, right now i'm breathing in special air that makes our in—flight experience a little more calm and relaxing. and what about the true? in a few years' time, yourfriendly steward could be replaced by this guy. bringing you that hot towel before take—off. thank you! the one thing that would change on a long haul flight is of course the need for some sleep. now, go away, leave me alone, i'm going to get some rest. i have a big day tomorrow! shh! our very own aussie aviation anorak,
1:50 pm
aaron heslehurst is there. where are you, i can't see you. hey, do you fancy a bit of this could not ta ke do you fancy a bit of this could not take a look. i'm looking to virtual reality, this is the singapore first—class suite. not bad! but hello, from hamburg in germany. we said this is the biggest in the world, it is big, 115,000 square metres, i have been walking for miles over the last couple of days but it is a big business, $40 billion industry and you have two basically big of everything that goes inside our planes as here. that is the first—class suite, first class is big business. i tell you what is even bigger business, its business class and there is a bush we re business class and there is a bush were all airlines do go flat bed. let's meet a head of product development at zodiac aggregate
1:51 pm
zodiac ok. lots of customers are looking at your seats. what is going at the moment for these airlines question what they are going at it all to go flat. at the flat is that today if you haven't got a flat bed you aren't doing well. customer expectations have rocketed over the la st expectations have rocketed over the last few days so once was business class is previous economy in the past. we need to up our game and the airlines need to up their game to make sure they keep their passenger revenue up make sure they keep their passenger revenue up and to do that they need to provide flat beds. some of the seeds can cost $70,000 up to a cause of $1 million. why are they so expensive? it's because we don't make many of them, suitably first—class seats we make three or 400 in total so they don't get the volume discounts that you get from a car. and in business class we make three or 4000 seats and then we moved to a different model. so we don't get the volume discount. they are essentially handmade, a rolls—royce in the way they are built. i like the analogy. i wanted
1:52 pm
to take a look at this one, one of your products because if you are an airline can you are flying long haul but don't have the budgets of singapore airlines, emirates, etc. had you go flat? the trick there is to maximise passenger count soaks you need to spend money to buy the seeds but you can get the revenue back by having more seats in the air plane so what we have done is make the seat in a small space in the aeroplane but will maintain the luxury proposition for the passengers. that is key, no use having a short seat if you have an uncomfortable bed position. so this isa...a uncomfortable bed position. so this is a... a cheaper flat bed for those airlines to get in? an entry point. yes a good entry point for airlines that previously would have flown angled seats which aren't as co mforta ble angled seats which aren't as comfortable but now can move into a fully flat bed and this would have been a first—class seat in a few yea rs been a first—class seat in a few years ago. right we are in germany now, where now there is a manufacturing kingpin. the uk, not
1:53 pm
so much, getting there but these seats are made in the uk. so busy we have the skill set to make these luxury items but we are based in south wales and especially in the bristol area and south wales they are having a really aerospace presence, the concord and bristol fighters all they billion acrobats from the first world war. we have a great pool of ability. you source materials from all over the walls, so brexit is something the company is looking into. we are looking at everything will option to pursue, to make sure we are ready for whatever way brexit comes. we had to wrap it up way brexit comes. we had to wrap it up now but this seat in the middle here, a know you aren'tjust talking about a flatbed here know. you can see about a flatbed here know. you can see this in a lot of aircraft now so what we have made is a double flatbed so passengers can choose to fly with their partners enjoyed the double flatbed on bare flight. you get friendly pretty quickly if you
1:54 pm
aren't partners! paul, thank you very much, from zodiac uk. enjoy the re st of very much, from zodiac uk. enjoy the rest of the show. sell a lot, we need the business in the uk! at it from me, i've had a busy day that i have a little bit more to do from hamburg here in germany from the world's biggest aircraft interior expo. go and have a snooze on one of those beds! i would like to do that very much. in other news, the international monetary fund managing director christine lagarde has warned that the global economy must stay away from trade protectionism, in order to ensure long—term growth. she fears that the current trade conflict between the us and china could lead to the world trade organisation's rules being "torn apart". shares in asos have fallen sharply despite the online fashion retailer posting a 10% rise in half—year profits to £29.9m. the firm said retail sales jumped 27% to £1.13bn for the six months to 28 february compared with the same period in the previous year. the shares fell as asos
1:55 pm
