fading. environment is deteriorated, confidence is low and yet the government, it is somewhat reluctant to come up with any meaningful policy stimulus. in with any meaningful policy stimulu— stimulus. in terms of unemployment, - stimulus. in terms of| unemployment, what stimulus. in terms of. unemployment, what do stimulus. in terms of- unemployment, what do you expect? overall, the labour market is slowly improving. the overall headline unemployment rate should continue to decline. a lot of the focus is on the use of employment which is over 40% and could go even higher in the coming months because we have nearly 10 million college graduates coming to the labour market. i think that is one of the key concerns at this moment. we're starting to happen foreign investment companies and banks, their nerves have been shaken a bit by all of the news coming out of china. are they still seeing this as a good place to do business? fist seeing this as a good place to do business?—

seeing this as a good place to do business? at this moment, when we talk _ do business? at this moment, when we talk about _ do business? at this moment, when we talk about the - when we talk about the confidence a bit low, notjust in the hospital sector, the corporate sector, sentiment is low because of the policy uncertainty in the last several years. also part of that is the reluctance of the government to support the economy at this moment which is really posing a risk to the economic growth this year. from a long—term perspective, i think it really depends on what the government is trying to do to reduce the policy uncertainty. on that front, i think the government actually is stepping up, recently relaxing deregulation and housing sectors, the platform economy sector and welcome foreign company investment as well as private investment. hopefully that could actually bring back some of the confidence which would support the economy, notjust in the near term but also in the long—term. in the near term but also in the long-term.—

event of all time. and that is it for this edition asia business report. i'm monica miller, thank you for watching. bringing you different stories from across the uk. jamie reeves is showing me a video that no parent should ever have to film. it is of his 8—month—old daughter, halle, on an emergency medical flight from spain, where the family had been on holiday, back to birmingham where doctors then diagnosed her with a rare form of leukaemia. since lastjuly, it has been hell. i don't think there has been a week that has passed where we have not been in hospital. i think the most we've done is about three or four days. halle has had two stem cell transplants — the most recent one in april — neither has worked.

her medical team says they are not prepared to do a third transplant. in all honesty, i thought, last week, when we were not seeing any of her counts come up, i was getting really worried. i started to think in my mind, maybe that could be it. her family has been told their best option might be to pay for a highly specialised treatment called car—t cell therapy in america, as it is not currently available on the nhs, but the treatment is expensive and the family is now on a mission to raise £1 million. the clock is ticking, time is not on our side so the sooner we can get over there, the better. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. people are travelling again. exploring new destinations and
