he says greece could leave the eurozone. do let us know what you think about the top stories. follow was on twitter -- bus on twitter -- us on twitter. we head over to jakarta later this hour. let's look at the markets. clearly the best performance so far in asia -- similar gains of what we saw yesterday, but still in the morning session. 30 minutes before. a lot of this is down. we will talk about this later on. it is very impressive growth figures. you have the quarter to quarter figure beating expectations. 2.4%. dollar yen pushing to 1.21 we are at 1.20.

these are more of the weakness compared to yesterday. it was at about 7 p.m. yesterday. we had very good housing data out of the u.s. it is pushing to 1.21 for dollar to yen. we want to focus on australia. down a quarter of 1%. it is a deep selloff we saw in the mining shares. a lot of pressure in commodity selling. oil was swelling. we saw 45. goldman is saying that. oil prices fell for a six-day. it is the pressing the value of commodity prices from this time yesterday. we are trading at fairly low levels. as promised, a quick look at the opening numbers. indonesia -- up half of 1%. perhaps in reaction to some

banking decisions yesterday. they had rates on hold as expected but they loosened when it came to first-time homebuyers. is through the value of the property. it is up half of 1%. at this point, they are staying put with the court forecast -- current forecast. 5.4%. i think we are pushing towards 13,200. more or less, very near the 16 year low against the u.s. dollar. let us leave it there for now. back to you. has greetedarta double the number of recalls. it is recalling 34 million vehicles. it is the largest recall in car history. we have been tracking this story since the get-go. craig, this is a huge number. craig: it is massive.

34 million in the u.s. alone. as you know, we have learned in the last week or so that in japan and other parts of the world, there have been millions more added to these recalls that forceeally been around in just the last couple of years. this is a slow-motion car wreck that has ballooned into what is not only the biggest recall in the auto industry, but perhaps the biggest recall of any consumer product. you look back in history to high profile recalls like tylenol in the early 1980's. this will surpass that. there are a number of questions still to be resolved. what the actual tab will be to clean up this mess. you have takata just telling analysts just last week that they have asked the carmakers

about paying in installments to cover the cost of these recalls. these costs will stretch beyond that. there will be penalties from the u.s. government as noted today. those will be small compared to the likely costs of legal settlements both with customers and perhaps you may have some problems with the department of justice. you have senators in the u.s. calling for the department of justice to go after takata to do a criminal investigation. that has been, in the past, a substantial amount of costs have come from. do you think about toyota and the unintended acceleration recalls. they took years before the department of justice finished its investigation and that was a substantial fine. more than $1 billion. it is a substantial amount of cost that is still ahead for to akata. rishaad: craig in tokyo for us.

we will be looking at this story through the show. we want your opinion. tweet us your thoughts and include that hashtag. let's stay with corporate japan because it is being applauded for helping fuel the country's revival. the economy is rebounding for the second straight quarter as businesses have raised spending on inventory. the latest gdp numbers came out earlier. we have some optimism for a change. >> definitely. quite a surprise this morning. japan has been struggling after falling in recession last year. we are seeing strong growth in the past two quarters. this time around, japan's economy raised 2.4% from the previous quarter. that is beating analyst estimates. it is also more than double the pace of growth we have seen in the previous quarter and we only

saw an annualized growth of 1.1%. of course, the weeak yen helping japan's economy, helping corporate profits. businesses are not showing signs they are raising wages. they are also spending more and picking up inventory. but, that is also a point we need to be a bit cautious about because we are seeing expansion driven by a pickup inventories which could suggest that consumption is still falling behind production. still, we have the bank of japan policy meeting tomorrow and we are expecting policymakers to keep policy unchanged this time around. of course, this positive data out of japan is expected to offer support for policymakers that the japanese economy is currently on a recovery track. rishaad: thank you. let's have a look at other stories making headlines. let's get around up.

faith. they don't face reality that their policies are not working. they are pushing. that means interest rates will soar. you really are bringing more instability into europe. a real risk that the whole european -- not the eu, but the euro project which was flawed from the start, could be repaired is going down the tubes. >> stories making headlines around the world -- china has offered a lifeline to brazil. official announced $7 billion for the struggling and ordered 22 jets. saidrazilian president china could invest up to $23 billion in mining infrastructure and manufactureing deals.

announcement, we will be using that overlap time to work with the industry to get them ready. if the announcement goes a bit later towards the point we need to get ready, we will begin to build the time after that. the general sense is we need to grab approximately three to four months after the actual announcement. rishaad: ok, well, what are the lessons you have learned from the shanghai connect that you can bring to bear on the shenzhen connect? charles: the shenzhen connect is a very simple replicate of shanghai connect. a lot of people think the shenzhen connect -- that is a misconception. ablehinese investors are to come through the shanghai connect. they have two buttons. they can push one or push the other.

all the volume is coming from the shanghai so they are using to push that button. it is all electronic coming through the pipe. connect,aunch shenzhen there will not be a separate pipe because there is really no urgent need for it because investors anywhere would go through the shanghai link because it is all electronic. the northbound is separate. the shenzhen connect is really initially going to be for international investors to that isn a new market not in the shanghai connect. for the southbound, nobody is being held back. waiting for the southbound to happen because of a lack of a shenzhen bridge. when shenzhen is launched, it will be a separate southbound bridge. when that is built, i'm sure they will find all sorts of ways to make sure the traffic comes

through the shenzhen link. from a hong kong perspective, it does not really matter. it is all going southbound. we don't really see the difference between either. rishaad: charles, very quickly, a lot of questions to ask you. the is what are you doing -- the next one is what are you doing to expand the link? what are you doing next? charles: we will have more stocks to be traded. eligible stocks. both sides will be enlarged hopefully to cover almost the entire market except some of the smaller players and also hopefully we will also be considered to be enlarged. i think the shenzhen connect will be important for some of those enhancements to take place. rishaad: ok, there was a lot of talk around the metal exchange taking place.

what about this commodities connect here? there have been some movement, some of the top coming out of the meeting taking place in the convention saying you are saying less about the commodities the last year. is that on the back burner right now? charles: it is not. i think we are at the slightly early mid stage of where we were on the commodity connect side. we are very confident that ultimately, hopefully in the not-too-distant future, we will be able to announce a certain level of connectivity with the commodity side. we are trying to see whether we can connect the international product to a domestic liquidity and the domestic product to international liquidity. the second layer is connecting the liquidity's somehow. that will be a little more

longer and complicated to work out. the last bit which will take even longer, and much more interesting and significant, is connect the domestic markets and infrastructure into the international futures market. because the market is where china imports almost everything. at the same time, need to find a better way to manage that in the international futures market. rishaad: i want to get back to shanghai and talk about this new market they are creating for u.s. and chinese companies. this is the plan for emerging industries. thet that seen by you as hong kong exchange as a bit of a slap in the face? charles: not at all. there is clearly, the hong kong exchange business has brought chinese companies here for ipo's and raising companies and we trade them. the first 10 years, we were the

only game in town. the second 10 years, they have a great market as well so now a lot of people were able to go there. the valuation is quite high, but it is difficult to get listed there. some of them do come to hong kong. sure china's reform will make their market a lot easier to list which might bring that evaluation. over time, i think we will see the markets playing different roles. rishaad: i want -- the thing is alibaba lost out to the u.s. and alibaba could find its way to the shanghai market. will you look again to changing your listing rules? charles: we are looking at it. the fcc will be looking at it. it is a very complex issue. inciple, it is easy for

people to agree that we need to do something competitive. we cannot change our standards. -- the comes to actual devil is in the details. it is becoming a lot harder. we are working on it but i am not predicting a particular outcome for that. rishaad: thank you so much for joining us. it was a pleasure to have you on trending business tonight. charles li, ceo of the hong kong exchange. checking on some of the other stories -- looking at the philippines. they are using facebook and twitter to crack down on insider trading. they are formerly monitoring the social media to eliminate ponzi schemes. they are pursuing cases and gathering evidence on violators. philippines is one of the world's biggest users of social media. they are trying to track down tax invaders. australians -- interest rate

massive number. craig: absolutely. you look back. the first recall related to these airbags was way back in 2008. they really started in mass couple of years ago and sort of kept rearing its ugly head. at this point, it is finally a situation where takata is no longer dragging its feet. it is a company that all the while has resisted taking these airbags recalls nationwide. it said the problem was perhaps related to high humidity areas and certain parts of the country and certain parts of the world. it is now expanding recalls nationwide in the u.s. it is also admitting it is a defect with its airbags. it is something that it has a resisted. rishaad: ok, well, the thing is this will not come cheap. how much is it going to cost them and can they possibly survive this? the ntsae heard ht nt
