introducing apple vision pro. and augmented reality headset with an eye watering price take. we take a look at apple first major product in a decade. plus a web of deception. the world's biggest crypto exchange sued by us regulators for allegedly running an illegal digital asset operation. welcome to asia business report with me, mariko oi. it was one of the worst kept secrets in silicon valley, but still, apple's new headset is a major moment for the world's most valuable company. it is called

the apple vision pro and it is theirfirst major the apple vision pro and it is their first major hardware launch in almost a decade. the augmented reality headset has a two hour battery life and it will cost you nearly $2500 when it becomes available early next year the us to stop the boss of apple tim cook said the new headset seamlessly blends the real world and the virtual world and promised that this new gadget will redefine personal technology. in the same way _ personal technology. in the same way that _ personal technology. in the same way that mac - personal technology. in the i same way that mac introduced personal technology. in the - same way that mac introduced us to personal computer thing and iphone introduced us to mobile computing, apple vision pro will introduce us to spatial computing. this marks the beginning of a journey that will bring a new generation —— dimension to personal powerful technology. dimension to personal powerful technology-— dimension to personal powerful technology. shares in apple was u . technology. shares in apple was u- b technology. shares in apple was up by about _ technology. shares in apple was up by about 2% _ technology. shares in apple was up by about 296 earlier— technology. shares in apple was up by about 296 earlier in - up by about 2% earlier in response to that launch an earlier i spoke to someone who dealt with the reason why she thinks it might be some time before this device goes

there were some announcements for the i0s update, nothing dramatic or out of the ordinary but that is something to keep in mind as apple continues to grow its iphone base, which also means it will have more users to target with its services and to extend the best of the portfolio through its existing iphone users. idols? of the portfolio through its existing iphone users. now to another big — existing iphone users. now to another big story _ existing iphone users. now to another big story from - existing iphone users. now to another big story from the - existing iphone users. now to| another big story from the us, which is shaking the world of crypto currencies. the words biggest crypto exchange, binance and its creator, they have been sent by the us securities and exchange commission for allegedly operating an illegal digital asset exchange. it marks an escalation in the company's digital woes and bitcoin is now trading below $26,000. in crypto circles, binance needs no introduction, today it

is the world's biggest platform to buy and sell bitcoin and other crypto currencies. it is also increasingly under pressure. the securities and exchange commission, wall street's main regulator, has filed i3 street's main regulator, has filed 13 charges against the company and its billionaire creator, accusing it of artificially inflating its trading volumes can breaking the law by failing to restrict us customers from using its global platform and of misleading investors about its market surveillance controls. it also allegedly misused customer funds, it also allegedly misused customerfunds, diverting some customer funds, diverting some to customerfunds, diverting some to companies controlled by cz, one of crypto's most high—profile moguls, and it comes as the us has pledged to use its laws more aggressively to oversee the crypto injury —— what —— industry. the company says it was disappointed, calling it a and adding it

would defend its business, saying any allegation that us customer funds had ever saying any allegation that us customerfunds had ever been saying any allegation that us customer funds had ever been at risk were simply wrong. binance already faces a complaint from another financial regulator, the commodity futures trading commission and it is also the department ofjustice investigation, the subject of, suspected money laundering. not india, tata consultancy services has just won a ten year contract to manage the uk's second biggest pension scheme. more now from new delhi. ., , delhi. one of india's most prominent _ delhi. one of india's most prominent it _ delhi. one of india's most prominent it services, - delhi. one of india's most| prominent it services, the delhi. one of india's most - prominent it services, the tata consultancy services, announces it has been chosen by the department of education for the uk to handle the teachers �*s pension scheme in england and wales. now, this happens to be the uk's second largest public sector scheme, with over 2 million members. the intention according to tata consultancy services was to enable an accurate administration of pension records, payment of benefits, as well as easy

promises to allow people to do this instantly. in the uk, an estimated 13 million people suffer from estimated 13 million people sufferfrom irritable bowel suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, sufferfrom irritable bowel syndrome, plus many more from food intolerances and other often debilitating gut issues. breath testing can be used as part of the diagnosis, and usually takes place in a clinic. , , ., ., clinic. this is the room where we make _ clinic. this is the room where we make the _ clinic. this is the room where we make the kids _ clinic. this is the room where we make the kids to - clinic. this is the room where we make the kids to go - clinic. this is the room where we make the kids to go out i clinic. this is the room where | we make the kids to go out to patients today. �*ib we make the kids to go out to patients today.— we make the kids to go out to patients today. 18 months ago though. oh — patients today. 18 months ago though, oh made _ patients today. 18 months ago though, oh made health - patients today. 18 months ago j though, oh made health made patients today. 18 months ago l though, oh made health made it possible to do these tests by post. possible to do these tests by ost. ., . ., ., possible to do these tests by ost. ., u, ., ., post. from the comfort of their own home _ post. from the comfort of their own home they _ post. from the comfort of their own home they can _ post. from the comfort of their own home they can do - post. from the comfort of their own home they can do the - post. from the comfort of their. own home they can do the breath test. now it is set to take understanding our gut health to another level. of the chemicals in our breath, we know hydrogen and methane is present and there are very important chemicals because they originate from the micro biome. we are familiar with the good bugs and the bad bugs we have within our body, and when we eat certain foods, these two key gases, hydrogen and

methane, can signal the presence of bad bugs in the wrong place in the body so it is very important to look at the levels of these chemicals. so what sort of issues produce what chemicals? for example, a bs versus lactose intolerance, what is it that causes what? irate what is it that causes what? we know there _ what is it that causes what? - know there is intolerance to certain carbohydrates, so this could be things like lactose, fructose, and these can be things that you eat in the food. we also know is you can have conditions such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, this is essentially bad bugs in the wrong place in the body, and if they are too high, then they can lead to a host of these digestive health problems, bloating, constipation and the like. but to really be — constipation and the like. but to really be able to keep track of the effect that different foods have a new community with being able to monitor your reactions anywhere, anytime, and this is the prototype of a pocket —sized device that hopes to be able to do just that.
