let's speak to almar for more about this. thank you coming into studio and speaking to me. what's the main thing to understand about the media landscape and where we see it in 2024? ., ., ,~ landscape and where we see it in 2024? ., a, , .,, in 2024? the media lansky was under intense _ in 2024? the media lansky was under intense pressure, - in 2024? the media lansky was under intense pressure, for - under intense pressure, for many different angles. the big battle that hangs over everyone is to the righ ability of media. there are some noise out there, so much information, that good information is hard to come by. good information, facts, that takes resources, it takes effort to establish facts, to do that kind of high—value reporting, and they are not many news organisations left that have the resources to do that. we counter subs lucky that. we counter subs lucky that we are in that position. if we look at the us, perhaps, for some stories when this comes into play, i want to get your reaction about what we have seen in the last few

hours, another potential assassination attempt on donald trump's life, and how this new cycle in the us is very much driven by such events like this. u, , driven by such events like this. _, , this. of course, when something regrettable _ this. of course, when something regrettable like _ this. of course, when something regrettable like this _ this. of course, when something regrettable like this happens, i regrettable like this happens, and clearly that's awful to see and clearly that's awful to see a second such incident happening in such a short time span, that puts a lot of pressure on news organisations, but the new cycle has been relentless. there's been one event after the other. and so making sure that, when there are so many successive news events, that you keep an eye on the bigger picture, that is not just breathless reporting on, this is the latest, but also taking a step back to make sure that you keep track of the bigger macro issues, i think, is always important. keep a cool head. dowjones and the wall streetjournal, we are a business news and information service. we have a business

lens on everything, which means we can be a bit more detached and be driven by data and by the facts on the ground, to help people make decisions, and so that for us is the most important factor. both as our philosophy in journalism and important factor. both as our philosophy injournalism and in information service but also as a business, because there's high for that.— a business, because there's high for that. you are a global of leisure _ high for that. you are a global of leisure and _ high for that. you are a global of leisure and geopolitics - high for that. you are a global of leisure and geopolitics is i of leisure and geopolitics is huge part of your coverage, but as a result it can also drive you into that coverage, like the detainment of evan gorski vitch or the elected head of the hk journalists association, but about evan in russia, and moving your hq from hong kong to singapore, these are big decisions and big events that you have to manage carefully.

absolutely. you never as a news organisation want to be part of the story, and with admin�*s arrest, we have course became part of the story of evan himself became part of the story. his release the past year and half was our top priority in making sure we keep our people safe our top priority, first and foremost. second, we have seen the wall streetjournal newsroom and also the wider industry come together about this very, very import topic. and the push has been really to make people aware that press freedom is under assault. that is very easily said but hard to lived through that and to navigate that, and i think as a result, if there is a silver lining to what has happened to evan, he got out, and it was a happy ending, and that's great, there is this awareness, i think

globally, more so than before that this is a pivotal issue, autocracies around the world, with autocratic forces pushing, putting pressure on fresh freedom. putting pressure on fresh freedom-— putting pressure on fresh freedom. ~ . . , ., freedom. with that decision don't act — in my, was there dak —— with that in mind when you move to singapore? we that in mind when you move to singapore?— singapore? we moved to singapore _ singapore? we moved to singapore because - singapore? we moved to singapore because it - singapore? we moved to singapore because it is l singapore? we moved to i singapore because it is also singapore? we moved to - singapore because it is also a strong regional hub and we have to be able to operate freely and, so, we have put an emphasis on singapore to strengthen here. but that is something that's been happening over the past few years, and as the region reconfigures, we want to make sure that we reflect how the region operates, and so that's how we rebalanced. you know a lot of

other news organisations have distributed the journalists around hong kong and away from china. i around hong kong and away from china. ., ., ., china. i want to move the conversation _ china. i want to move the conversation onto - china. i want to move the conversation onto ai, - china. i want to move the conversation onto ai, but| china. i want to move the i conversation onto ai, but on the topic of hong kong, there was a hong kong journalists, reporter of yours, that was elected to be the head of the hk journalists association and she says she was fired because of her role in the union. can you shed some light on that? that's a personnel matter and so i cannot comment on that. but i can say is the wall streetjournal but i can say is the wall street journal and but i can say is the wall streetjournal and dow street journal and dow jones have been streetjournal and dowjones have been a fierce supporter of press freedom. our opinion pages have repeatedly pushed forjim eli's release. last week, when there were arrests made of several journalists, our opinion pages also emphasised how detrimental that is, and hong kong authorities subsequently posted a letter

that we published in the wall streetjournal, criticising our street journal, criticising our mac streetjournal, criticising our mac stance on that, so we are very much advocates through our opinion pages of press freedom. just to move onto artificial intelligence, it has come to the fore in the last 18 months or so, the fore in the last 18 months orso, generative the fore in the last 18 months or so, generative ai, the fore in the last 18 months orso, generative ai, it the fore in the last 18 months or so, generative ai, it can generate images to stories to just churn out content without being a self check. what are your thoughts on how that is going to be a challenge for these organisations going forward? i5 these organisations going forward?— these organisations going forward? , ., forward? is always been a challenge _ forward? is always been a challenge to _ forward? is always been a challenge to tell - forward? is always been a challenge to tell fact - forward? is always been a challenge to tell fact from fiction, and that basically got supercharged in the past few years, and will be more so, and so what news organisations can do first of all is to not panic and focus on getting the facts and focus on getting the facts and making sure that their reputation remains on impeached, so people actually turn to trusted sources. that's

one. two, ai is not only going to be in the hands of bad actors, it will be in the hands of organisations like the wall streetjournal, where ai will be used for headline generation, for making workflow better, and for numerous new products to help with a new consumer pattern, a new consumer pattern, a new consumer behaviour, and so ai is very much also going to be part of the news landscape on the other end and not on the misinformation and.- the other end and not on the misinformation and. before we a 0, misinformation and. before we no, ou misinformation and. before we go. you don't— misinformation and. before we go, you don't want _ misinformation and. before we go, you don't want to - misinformation and. before we go, you don't want to get - misinformation and. before we| go, you don't want to get drawn on personnel issues, but i want to ask you about newscorp, the parent company and the murdochs, and what is been going on with the family succession plan, if you like, and how that is going to affect you going forward. any insight there? �* you going forward. any insight there? , ., , you going forward. any insight there? , ., there? i'm focused squarely on makin: there? i'm focused squarely on making dow — there? i'm focused squarely on making dow jones _ there? i'm focused squarely on making dow jones a _ there? i'm focused squarely on making dow jones a success i there? i'm focused squarely on. making dow jones a success and making dowjones a success and making dowjones a success and making the wall streetjournal a success and we've got great support from newscorp and the rest is an ownership matter stop what i had to ask. thank

you for coming on and speaking to us, almar latour from the wall streetjournal. staying in the us, thousands of boeing workers went on strike on friday, after union members at the firm's west coast factories overwhelmingly rejected a contract offer from the firm, which included a 25% pay rise over four years. greg waldron of flightglobal explained how the company is navigating this latest setback. the thing is, they want more. the union actually accepted this, or the union's leaders accepted this last week and it was a 25% pay rise over the next few years. but the union, i think, originally wanted 40%, so the union feels, i think, or union members feel that they've made a lot of concessions to boeing over the years in various ways and it seems to be there's a lot of frustration on the union side. they voted, i think, 96% to actually go on strike, which is greater

than the number of people, percentage who voted for the last strike in 2008. so it's certainly a very concerning thing for boeing's management and also for boeing's customers. boeing has a new ceo, kelly ortberg. the challenges seem to be numerous for him. where do you think his priorities are going to lie? this strike is front and centre. so kelly ortberg, in his career, is known as being really good at dealing with workers and really good at working with a team, and this is certainly going to be a very early test of his leadership at the company. and if he can bring the company through, if he can really minimise the time of this strike, because the impact of the strike will depend on how long it lasts, if he can deal with this relatively quickly, then that will be very good for him. of course, the longer this goes on, the more of a challenge this is going to be for boeing, and it'll raise more questions about whether he might have been the right choice for the company. it's a big week for financial markets, as the us federal reserve kicks off its highly anticipated september meeting on tuesday. investors are expecting the fed to lower the cost of borrowing this week, as inflation continues to trend

towards their 2% target. and that's it for this edition of business today. thanks for watching. i will see you again soon. goodbye for now.

hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm lizzie greenwood—hughes. here are the headlines: team usa take the solheim cup from europe for the first time in seven years. arsenal "win ugly" in the north london derby. and a big bash in baku provides a dramatic finish to the azerbaijan grand prix.

europe's golfers have lost the solheim cup. the defending champions were beaten 15.5 points to 12.5 by the hosts, the usa, who held their nerve in a tense finale. our golf correspondent ian carter reports from virginia. it was closer — much closer — then i think anyone would have anticipated heading into the final day's singles. europe had to make up that four—point deficit and they had been outplayed on the first two days, but this was a really gutsy and spirited display by the europeans, typified by charley hull, who set them on their way with a fantastic victory — seven under par for the 14 holes that it took her to beat nelly korda, the world number one. a brilliant display by charley hull. also to beat alison lee from georgia hall. and that gave hope to the europeans, who ultimately won the closing session by 6.5 points to 5.5, but ultimately

they had to make up just too much ground.
