company. the bbc�*s lilyjamali told me about the background of this case. this was a pay package worth $56 billion which, as you noted, it would have been the largest pay package everfor a ceo of a publicly traded company. this was awarded a couple of years ago and was contingent on elon musk, the head of tesla, meeting certain targets having to do with sales and revenue and the like. those billions of dollars were in stock options, so today they are worth quite a bit more than 56 billion, closer to about $100 billion and this ruling today from chancellor kathaleen mccormick reiterates her ruling from back at the start of the year injanuary, where she found this pay package is excessive and not only that, that the board of directors at tesla is not sufficiently independent to approve it, that the people on the board have personal and business relationships with musk. just to give you an example, his brother kimbal is on the board, james murdoch,
4:31 am
son of rupert murdoch, is also on the board. injune, as you mentioned, musk and tesla put this to shareholders, who approved this pay package, but the chancellor mccormick saying that simply is not enough, reiterating that early decision and one of the arguments we saw from the shareholders is they were not told how easy or hard it would be for musk to meet those original targets when they voted. she effectively sided with them once again today. farmers in india are taking to the streets once again. police blocked key roads leading to the capital — delhi — to try and stop hundreds of people from marching towards parliament. the protestors have asked the government to agree to their demands within 6 days. for more, we will cross to delhi and join the bbc�*s arunoday mukharji.

4:33 am
to protest three major fumbles the prime minister had introduced. the protest went to such an extent the government had to rollback those laws giving into the farmers demands. a lot of farmers have said the kind of assurances that were made by the government at that time have not been fulfilled which is why this is a reminder to the government our issues have not been addressed and if needed we can take to the streets again and that is why this is something security forces are very concerned about. we something security forces are very concerned about.- very concerned about. we do remember — very concerned about. we do remember those _ very concerned about. we do remember those protests. i very concerned about. we do - remember those protests. thank you very much. president—elect donald trump says he will block japan's nippon steel from taking over us steel. writing on his truth social platform — trump said he is, quote, "totally against the once great and powerful us steel being bought by a foreign company." nippon steel have been looking to close the $15 billion deal before the new president takes office injanuary. their attempted takeover has faced opposition from a powerful us trade union as well as outgoing president biden.

population. one of the challenges is that retirees prefer to save their money, instead of spend it. that's according to a new study. i'm joined by matt austen, who leads oliver wyman�*s consultancy business in the asia pacific. it is sensible but reflecting a degree of uncertainty among the retiree population about whether they made adequate provision for their retirement, the backdrop as we see the ageing population government is unable to provide full provision for retirement for retirees so they shifted some of that responsibility to the employer and ultimately that she is shifting onto the individual move from defined benefit to defined contribution schemes. individuals left asking how much do i need to retire — save to retire and when can i retire have i made adequate provision and japan we see retirees are spending somewhere between one and 3% of their wealth each year. a degree of uncertainty that comes with that, less the fact
4:36 am
they are not spending as much as they might more the uncertainty that that is reflecting because of the lack of confidence in the adequacy of confidence in the adequacy of provision.— of provision. the uncertainty comes from _ of provision. the uncertainty comes from lack _ of provision. the uncertainty comes from lack of - of provision. the uncertainty l comes from lack of knowledge of provision. the uncertainty - comes from lack of knowledge of how to manage the and the retirement process? exactly ri . ht we retirement process? exactly right we see _ retirement process? exactly right we see wealth - retirement process? exactly i right we see wealth managers and insurers and asset managers have developed product to help people with preparing for retirement but done that independent of each other, they were set up to fulfil different purposes. this results in a product centric rather than person concentric, the needs are consistent, people need a sound plan how to prepare for their finite sound plan how to prepare for theirfinite —— sound plan how to prepare for their finite —— financial requirements in retirement a solid set of cost—effective products that will deliver including some degree of protection and income generation, then some kind of customer service stitching that altogether, currently the provision of solid and there is a need to bring that together

4:39 am
flew off the shelves. fast forward to today, we're on to the playstation five but a lot has changed with increasing popularity of mobile gaming and there is competition from the likes of xbox and steam deck and game publishers are expanding their offerings to personal computers which means owning a console is less important than 30 years ago. the strategy from their perspective is notjust about making money, on the hard ware, making it on the software they sell and through their store fronts and everything, so i think there is a significant commercial opportunity for sony and playstation in the business. but he adds there is a looming risk of tariffs with the incoming administration in the united states because many gaming consoles are produced in china. in the past, companies like sony have argued they should be exempt, but if the price of consoles were to go up because of the trade war, it could have an impact on playstation sales
4:40 am
in the united states and it is an important market for console makers. thank you for your company on business today. i will see you again at the same time tomorrow. goodbye for now.

hey, i'm aisling with the catch up. tonight — not—so—italian puree, pesticides in rivers, and a 17—year—old makes history. we start in the us, where presidentjoe biden's being criticised by his political rivals for pardoning the crimes of his son, hunter — something president biden had said before he wouldn't do. some of those convictions include not paying some taxes and owning a gun he shouldn't have. some other stories now. turns out some italian tomato puree might not be as italian as the name suggests. instead, it might be made from tomatoes grown and picked in china using forced labour. 17 items sold at well—known supermarkets in the uk and germany are likely to contain this chinese produce. every supermarket whose products were tested by the bbc disputes these findings. bee—harming chemicals have been found
4:42 am
in the majority of english rivers, seas and lakes tested by the environmental watchdog. farmers were given emergency permission to use the pesticides to protect their crops from disease. but there's now an investigation into whether that was the right thing to do. and are you spending hours scrolling mindlessly on socials? well, you might be suffering from brain rot. it's been chosen as oxford university press's word of the year, because we're using it more to describe watching lots of low—quality online content. time now for ten seconds of wingfoiling — a water sport where the sail isn't attached to the board. 17—year—old tomas landed the first—ever double backfip, scoring a perfect ten in brazil. you're all caught up now — have a great night!
