11:06 pm
recover,a gradually to but also because economies are recovering. we think they will manage that flow now. it will be bumpy. angie: china also revised its 7.4% to 7.3%.from the significance of that means end of your targets may become more attainable. guest: there's a very good reason why china would have revised. we are waiting for the third international senses. there may be some legitimacy behind it. and that is the word on china. right, we are looking at toshiba shares, on the way up today.

11:08 pm
the last fiscal year, and they actually amended the amount dollars --.3 million $1.3 billion for the past six years results. i would say it's a pretty big accounting scandal. today theyounced will come up with restructuring. aty will look that there their performance, especially flow perspective. rishaad: have investors moved past the accounting scandal? is it too precious for management to -- are there pressures for management to deal with now? grace: yes, they were to finish result, but they missed

11:10 pm
obviously the accounting scandal reveals some troubles inside to oshiba.- t so the management will definitely need to look into that and probably some investors are expecting more structural reforms if they come, and that may affect this year's forecast as well. rishaad: grace, thank you. ang there in tokyo. angie: other stories we are watching for you -- an investigation into the recent volatility in the chinese market, chairwoman lui is said is said-- chairwoman li to have been detained to help with an official inquiry. that though.
