to the financial bloc and protecting itinerant laborers from exploitation as they move across the e.u. in search of work. i've been fizzling let's do business the right having apple grab is grabbing itself an even bigger chunk of the southeast asian market the region's most successful startup now has its sights set on indonesia it wants to create a next generation transport network with electric vehicles and a cleaner grid grab is valued at $14000000000.00 and has a new powerful backup. for commuters trying to negotiate their way through southeast asia infamous traffic gridlock to grab is becoming the route of choice the singapore based startup has displaced in the region and now it wants to grow further one market wants to expand as indonesia and softbank the world's biggest investor and high tech is back in grabs ambitions. second head. in the nation and become

a 5th unicon and also. invest. but then on top of that we will invest more into the ice and. this will be music to the years of indonesian president djoko we doto with 260000000 inhabitants indonesia is the biggest economy in southeast asia on it has strong potential for expansion softbank recognizes opportunities there. who will study but they'll put in it but we're definitely interested in and be cool about that he's. charging system. to $2000000000.00 for grab may just be the beginning just last week soft bank announced a $108000000000.00 investment fund focusing on artificial intelligence. let's go live to andrea hang our financial correspondent in singapore andrea what's in it

for grabs and softbank well on the surface been it looks like greg just wants to penetrate and already a market that's already dominated by gold which is the local rival in indonesia grab is already present in 8 countries in the region and that's compared to go it takes 2 not in indonesia alone greg will be able to increase from this deal it's presence from 224 cities up to 30338 cities excuse me so this deal is going to go beyond just expanding and offering its right having services is actually going to go beyond that to expand indonesia's transport infrastructure as well as the digital economy with the largest southeast asian economy in its hand so it obviously has a lot on its plate grab and it sounds like it's gobbling up quite

a few competitors along the way it could become quite a monopoly this ride hailing landscape in southeast asia from what i'm hearing. is exactly this is the 2nd headquarters for grette isn't just to expand and extend its right hitting services in great insights in the region and especially in singapore already also more than just right he get office food and grocery delivery mobile payments and more recently even banking services on the micro lending level so this is a huge move not just for greg but also pushing forward in the regions digital economy as well as indonesia and the regions transportation system now we know that indonesia is a huge growth market there's huge potential there softbank c.e.o. was said that why singapore start up a japanese investor on one or an indonesian one.

well i think this deal is much bigger than right hailing it's much bigger than indonesia itself what this deal is about is effectively greb seeking to dominate and the digital economy in southeast asia and that's a very huge potential for soft bank to want to tap into and compete against when it comes to far example china's china's so we checked payment for example so that's a huge opportunity for both great and soft bank in general to grow southeast asia's digital economy you heard from andrea haying correspondent in singapore thank you very much let's take a look at some other business stories making headlines the u.s. and china resume talks this week to solve a trade war between the boards talk to the economy to go she broke down it may change high hopes to the meeting it aims to build on resolutions from the g. 20 summit the chinese government says it's optimistic an agreement will be reached

. with the e.u. sized court has ruled the websites with a facebook like button must 1st seek permission from visitors the sites automatically send use adata to facebook even if you don't click on anything the european court of justice said gathering the information requires user consent. and the european commission is set to block canada brazil singapore argentina and australia from accessing parts of the e.u. financial market it says those countries no longer regulate credit agencies as rigorously as the e.u. does it's the 1st time such access rights are being withdrawn. and let's talk to one day about that a financial correspondent in frankfurt what's changed in these countries to incur the wrath of the e.u. . well ben as you rightly put these can raise do not hold the credit agencies to the same standard that the u.s. does and now this is according to

a system which is called the equivalent system which is basically an agreement between these countries that allow financial companies from the 3rd come to work rather non evil financial companies to work in the operate in the e.u. and vice versa they you financially companies are allowed to operate in the 3rd country but now these countries need to be these companies that are operating in the unit to be governed by the same standards in the home country as become as companies similar companies are governed in the e.u. so that you feel that these companies were not being governed now there are 30 countries which are actually following this system they are using it and they are also 40 areas that are affected so basically this is just created rating agencies for now with this decision so the it's been business as usual for the other companies other financial companies for these come on trees that can still continue to operate in the ashes just tell us why the credit ratings agencies. come under

the focus of the e.u. in the 1st place. well when this dates back to 2030 that's when you came out with the legislation for these credit rating agencies this is after actually created waiting waiting agencies like moody's did downgraded greece and portugal and thereby worsening the sovereign debt crisis so this law basically says that when you can come up with sensitive decisions when you can make them public and also some ownership changes that it came came with the change in law but many of these countries haven't actually followed the europe's lead. tell us really quickly i thought this could also affect the u.k. prospects. yes absolutely. it could be a blow for britain because it is expected that it would be using this system to let itself in action put it in the e.u. but now it just seems that it is so obviously that is something that britain has

been arguing all this wind and that's the reason why it's a setback for the british for britain. thank you very much for the update there from frankfurt. now one of the e.u.'s most proud chivas is freedom of movement the right to live and work anywhere across the bloc but it doesn't guarantee you would decent job some labour's turns through illegal work even though the pay can be pretty pathetic. it's 5 30 in the morning in buffalo on the m skirts of rome. this is where day laborers wait for someone to offer them work most of them from rumania. pulls over. one of the men climbs in discreet you cause the police could show up any minute. here to stay behind and keep on waiting most
