coincidence and at an interesting time for them to be investigated in china thank you very much for putting the story in perspective and it's a developing story we track. figs developing story we track. as we've been seeing. it's not just foxconn other countries under scrutiny are microsoft, alphabet and mehta, who will be announcing their earnings later this week. our business reporter tells us more on what to look out for. it’s reporter tells us more on what to look out for.— to look out for. it's a bumper week for— to look out for. it's a bumper week for tech _ to look out for. it's a bumper week for tech earnings, - to look out for. it's a bumper week for tech earnings, a - week for tech earnings, a sector hit hard with lay—offs and government regulation earlier this year but seems to be the most part bouncing back. it's notjust how they did in the previous quarter, investors are looking at what companies say about what is coming next. on tuesday microsoft will report its earnings for the third quarter, a company that often beats expectations. microsoft managed to get its huge acquisition of the video game publisher which makes candy crush over the line.

getting hard won approval from the regulators and that is the good news but microsoft might also have to pay almost $30 billion. last quarter the earnings outperformed the other tech stocks. investors like that saw the company shares jump. this time around people will look to how google cloud and google search and youtube ad revenue did, and including more detail on how the ai bot can take on chatterjee bt, which microsoft has a huge investment in. on wednesday, the company behind facebook and whatsapp reports, facing competitions from the likes of telegram, it announced it would roll out broadcast channels allow users to broadcast messages on facebook and messenger. on thursday, the south korean chip giant is one of the worlds largest makers of memory chips and has had a really tough couple of quarters, like its larger rival

samsung. that's because of an ongoing over global supply of chips has caused prices to drop but it will be interesting to hear how ai is driving demand for its high—end chips. similar results expected on the same day for intel. investors see we might see a double digit drop and it's been hit by a slump in the pc and smartphone industry. and finally on thursday it is online retail behemoth, amazon, shares up almost 50% and expectations for the results are high. the company's cloud computing arm is getting a boost by the move towards ai but amazon is facing huge legal battle. a landmark anti—trust lawsuit in the united states. katie silva with the details of what's expected later in the week on that front. we will keep a close watch on developments. forthe keep a close watch on developments. for the moment, let's turn our attention to the latest coming in from general motors and ford and all will be

reporting their third—quarter earnings later this week. it is coming amidst some of the biggest strikes we have seen in us history at the plants of both companies. unions have been demanding pay rises, citing healthy profits from the auto—makers, both general motors is one of ford have said the strikes will hurt their profits. now to other news making headlines this morning. the australian prime minister anthony albanese he will travel to china at the end of next week to try and stabilise relations with the country's biggest training partner, and he will also meet with the chinese president, and the two countries have been locked in a bitter dispute over the wine trade made worse in 2020 when the australian leadership sought an investigation into the coronavirus origins but the relationship might be improving. on sunday china said both sides reach a consensus on the wine dispute. beside foreign policy, australia has domestic issues to contend with like inflation and all eyes

will be on the new governor of its central bank when she speaks publicly for the first time on tuesday and there were talks of a rate hike to dampen high prices when she chaired herfirst meeting in high prices when she chaired her first meeting in october, so that's something we're looking out for but the bank ultimately decided to hold the rate steady and that is why the wednesday release of third quarter consumer prices will be critical and closely watched after the 6% level reached in the second quarter. i spoke to kelvin wong with one financial services company and he explained to me the inflationary pressures australia currently faces. even thou:h australia currently faces. even though the _ australia currently faces. even though the expectation - australia currently faces. even though the expectation for- australia currently faces. even though the expectation for the numbers comic markets are expecting a low number compared to about 5.2% over 6.2 in q2 to about 5.2% over 6.2 in 02 but due to this high energy price we see in the last two months, the cpi indicator on this wednesday, the markets

expect a upward tick to 5.3% plus 5.2% in august, so if that comes to expectations, that will be two consecutive run of inflationary pressure picking up inflationary pressure picking up in australia, so that is a tough one, and less lagging inflation compared to the quarterly one. on the story over here we see especially in australia and new zealand, primarily the growth is dependent on an extra low economy, as any relation with china with china last week we had this liquidity problem. hats? had this liquidity problem. how do small businesses _ had this liquidity problem. how do small businesses compete with their much bigger rivals who might also be getting government help to stay profitable. those are the challenges that the boss of fiji airways thinks about every day. fiji airways thinks about every da . ., . ., , day. one of the core things we have done _

paid back 30%, so we had a different approach to qantas and air new zealand. we never shut down and we kept the airline alive, so our philosophy was to be ready at a moment's notice and we had many ready programmes and when in december 2021, the board is open, we were the first movers in the market, and still the first mover today.- in the market, and still the first mover today. votes are bein: first mover today. votes are being counted _ first mover today. votes are being counted in _ being counted in the argentinian presidential election. the front runner is a right—wing economist and tv personality who has proposed replacing the local currency with the us dollar to control spiralling inflation. september inflation came in at 138% in the south american nation. finally, taylor swift continues to hit different at the box office. hertour concert to hit different at the box office. her tour concert movie raked in another $31 million on its second weekend in the cinemas. if the film crosses the $2625 cinemas. if the film crosses the $262.5 million mark before the $262.5 million mark before the end of november, it will

all over the town. both grimsby and cleethorpes. if you've got a you'll notice these hundreds of discarded trolleys full of rubbish. and what a shock! a trolley full of rubbish. today in grimsby, it's been clear to see just how much or how little has been done to clear up this problem. that should have been took. but with council's not responsible for the clear up of private spaces like alleyways. it's difficult to see how all this will change without help from the community. this is not normal kids growing up and thinking this is normal. it's only going to get worse. change, of course, won't happen overnight, but what many litter campaigners are hoping for is at least some improvement. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website.
