make up all stem is fast approaching a deal to help it counter the growing threat rivals in china it says it signed an agreement to buy the realm of canada's bombard up to 6200000000 euros but body which makes trains for the likes of london underground is looking to make major changes to deal with its debts allston is also keen to complete the deal to e.u. regulators blocked its attempt to merge with german competitors siemens last year. let's get to the bottom of this with our reporter daniel winter daniel welcome along so why is alston so keen to snuff out from body israel well rob i mean also has been casting about to bulk up for a while now and mean as you just said that a bloc to deal with. really angering the e.u. so much they had to intervene there seems and it's an effort to create a challenger to china see os see which is a bear of

a train may come you can see this now combination of. a would to get close becoming the 2nd biggest train maker in the world with 15300000000 euros of sales and 2018 not quite enough to beat c r c and the 21000000000 euros but much closer after all the threat from this chinese competition is not necessarily just on the global stage but also in europe as well so c.r.c. is to get a foothold in europe now deutsche bank has assessed the potential of the merger and they say that for alstom their earnings per share could go up by about 17 percent and that's a figure which investors pay close attention to so you know that's the argument that alstom has it wants to bulk up its presence in order to fight off the competition so what is it about bombarding a specifically that makes it attractive to alston well it's attractive because yes it would bulk up alstom but also it's having difficulties at the moment as well i mean if we take a look at share price tumbling over the past. a few years and from well over 2

canadian dollars per share to as little as $1.12 before rumors of this merger got really going as we can see right there now also some things that can tame the problems of the company as bomb body is piling on debt and it has a $36000000000.00 order backlog that it has to deal with just last week it announced that it was dropping a venture with air bus as it tries to save cash so it is struggling quite a bit at the moment so in short the company is relatively cheap right now and bomb body can't be too demanding in return because it's got problems of its own and yet the company would genuinely increase alston's presence. but also had a bad experience last year when his merger with siemens was blocked by the e.u. who's to say that it's not going to happen this time it could happen again i mean there's no. concrete reason why it couldn't i mean let's just look at the union members of a game it is a german union now they. represent workers at. bonn which is

a big customer of both own body and of alstom as well and you know it's interesting to see that they think that this could be a threat as well this fuse thing meaning that the bargaining aspects of the bargaining benefits that dodge van have would be reduced and so it also seems that you know due to report from reuters they are quoting a source in the french government which has seen that this time around that the e.u. may be a bit light on this but in the end it comes down to this all important divestment so it depends whilst i'm is really willing to get rid of and that could be the decisive factor oh see how this progresses over the coming days in the coming months thanks for bringing us your insight stan you're with. now for a quick look at some of the other business stories making news apple says the corona virus outbreak means its no longer expects to meet 2nd quarter revenue

don't want amazon to go broke they just want to break the power it has over the people who work there. now the returns just weren't good enough general notice says it's pulling out of australia new zealand and thailand and i mean the end of the road for the iconic brand hold and many australians have been getting emotional about the demise of that much loved make even the prime minister who says he's fuming. g.m. plans to withdraw its chevy brand from thailand and sell its factory to china's great wall motors by the end of this year asked for new zealand the common factor is this they will wind down sales for its historic hold and brands in 2021 g.m. doesn't see a future in a market share has dropped from over 20 percent in 2002 to just over 4 percent. this was not a decision we took lightly it was an agonizing decision many of. very strong

affinity for this brand this iconic brand including some of the much we work in here. and it's no reflection on the capability and commitment of. the employees that there was a promise. holden has been in the car business for more than 100 years and was an affiliate of g.m. since the $930.00 s. over the years holderness manufactured cars not only under its own moniker but also for asian brands like toyota and nissan in australia the decision to shut down was met with shock and anger especially since the company had been given a quarter $1000000000.00 bailout less than 10 years ago of course disappointed not surprised but i think the fact that they took money from. years just to let the whole brand with their watch i think is disappointing and i think at the end of the

day it's throwing. money at them at the end of the day we're going to respect it at the end of the. g.m.'s withdrawal and stronger focus on its whole market in the us will affect 1500 jobs in thailand and just over 800 in australia and new zealand. that's all from us hair in bed len i'm rob's thanks for joining us you can find more from us on our website we don't come slash business rules of course on facebook and twitter to check us out by.
