looking outside, just given some of those wrongful practices and aggressive lending practices, it has been so severe that you really need someone been so severe that you really need someone with a very strong background in the financial services industry to restore the confidence to be able to lead the restructuring of that business. and how does this royal commission report is impact the reputation of australia's banking sector? over the last eight months there have been many cases that have been exposed on aggressive lending practices, on the wrongful doings, andi lending practices, on the wrongful doings, and i think some of the behaviours of a lot of executives has been quite defensive. and i think this national bank, the senior executive being singled out is to set an example that the senior executive needs to be responsible for some of those issues, rather than just to restructure some of the

lower position personnel. so it is incredibly important going forward for the industry to take that into account. briefly, what is your recommendation now about the australian banking industry for your investors ? australian banking industry for your investors? it will be pretty tough going forward for the next 12—18 months. the housing market is slowing down. a restructure on the cards, a potential lawsuit coming through, it is hard to see the industry growth in any way, shape, oi’ industry growth in any way, shape, orform for the industry growth in any way, shape, or form for the next 12 industry growth in any way, shape, orform for the next 12 months. national australia bank in shares currently trading in sydney, it is down by about that of a percent. in other business news, amazon's 0ther has accused american media incorporated, the owner of controversial cheryle liberty magazine the national enquiry of blackmail. it's as there were enough is from the publisherlegal team to publish intimate photographs of him

countries, including us, mexico, and africa. the biscuit maker has been profitable in its 80 year history and is now run by the grandson of the founder. it started its first production with a toffee in 1929 and then moved on to low—priced biscuits. in india, having a cup of tea is an occasion to meet friends and family. and that is where the slope price company has found a lower base. when customers prefer to have cheap snacks. that has resulted in an estimated turnover of $700 million. biscuits are still one of the cheapest package who is out there. our philosophy as a family was to keep this product at that price point so we could reach as many people in india as possible. that formula has worked so far. but

now consumers with higher incomes wa nt now consumers with higher incomes want more from the biscuit maker will stop more variety, more flavours. can they deliver? because our name has been synonymous with the low—priced biscuit people find it hard to believe that we can come up it hard to believe that we can come up with something which is world —class. up with something which is world—class. so hide and seek. chocolate chip cookie is the highest volume seller in india. people don't really know that. at 14 cents a packet, the original biscuits have provided the confectionery empire with global ambition. the next few yea rs with global ambition. the next few years will be a real test for the company, to see if it can find ways to grow its product range from its humble beginnings. and before we go, here is a recap of our top story. australia's banking industry at the forefront of a major report from the royal commission, which has claimed its most high—profile scalps today, the

from using mobile phones and tablets at meal times, and devices should be kept out of their bedrooms at night. that's the basis of the first—ever guidelines on screen use, from the uk's most senior medical advisers. hugh pym reports on the recommendations. on average, i spend around three hours a day online, looking at a mixture of social media, entertainment, and watching tv or tv series and also using it for my homework. about two hours that i spend on snapchat, instagram, and other social media, looking at my friends' photos. i use maybe half—an—hour each day, maybe looking up sites or watching youtubes. school kids tell us what they think about social media and using their screens. gosh, it's good. here, they're taking part in workshops on internet safety, including storytelling. she started looking at everything that popped up on her screen, hoping for an upgrade, till it came to the point where she never read anything, just clicked 0k. we took two of the pupils at the conference to meet

england's chief medical officer to talk about the new guidelines. how do you advise families to put these recommendations into use? not taking your phone or smart device to the meal table is not a bad thing, because then you've either got to talk about the food or something else. so it's a way of kind of improving interaction that helps development. no phones at bedtime and regular screen breaks are also part of the new advice. the boy was curious and bored and decided to create a social media account. he lied about his age, as he was only nine. however, he kept this a secret. ensuring that children don't lie about their age when they sign up for social media sites is essential, according to the chief medical officer. she wants to see the technology companies invest whatever is needed to bar those who are under 13. i don't accept that age verification isn't possible. it may require some investment in order to do it effectively, but they have to come up

with a proposal and they have to fund it. so what's the reaction to all these guidelines? i think it is necessary. however, it will be kind of difficult to enforce. i mean, unless you get the parents on board so that they are enforcing it within the household, it will be kind of a difficult thing to do. the report says the internet can do a lot of good for children when they are learning. the message is precautions taken now will minimise risks in future. hugh pym, bbc news. there is a lot of food for thought in that report by hugh pym. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @bbcnuala. now on bbc news — sport today. hello, i'm marc edwards, and this is sport today,
