eads and airbus once again in focus, stephane. >> absolutely. the commercial director of airbus generally indicated that the global air traffic will recover in 2010 with 25% to 5% of new orders coming from asia. he also indicated that airbus is going to increase its prices by approximately 6% in order to reflect the increasing price of raw material and also he repeated that european countries should reach soon an agreement on the a400m military aircraft and that would be a positive agreement. that's what generally he indicated this morning from singapore, ross. >> and we've seen construction still being pretty anemic. most places in the oecd countries, stephane. what is versi saying this morning? >> they announced a 4.6% decline in sales figures. the company managed to offset the decline of the construction sector in europe with its concession unit. the company is running some parkings and highways in france and europe and that sector wants up 2.4% over the last year. the company remains outlook in terms of global economic environment but is not

last year, airbus sent 50 more orders for planes than boeing and william lajeunesse is live in santad an impact from where you are -- and where are you, william? >> reporter: bill, this is a little bit like the globalization story, really, helping the u.s., as you said, airbus is a european company based in france, and we have most of the jobs they have been adding in the last five years here in the u.s., and we're at cost composite in santa ana and the welders are behind me and here, these are wing spans, if you will, parts of a wing being manufactured in the u.s. and will be shipped to france where they'll be assembled and where the carbon fiber wings eventually will be put together. and they have added 15 welders in the last three months here, bill, and actually have a sign out in front of the building saying, welders, wanted. we are talking about now they're doing 6 days a week in the machine shop and 7 days a week in the welding area and they are having a hard time finding qualified welders in this area but this is basically the largest machine shop in the -- actually in the wor

it's kind of if you think about an airbus jet, it's controlled by a fly by wire system. it's kind of the same thing on an automobile. you're sending these electronic signals to the car. to go faster, go slower, break the car. so in this case, toyota is saying it is not the throttles, there are 11 class-action suits that have been filed and several attorneys who say that we believe it is the throttle. >> woodruff: i was on the phone call today that toyota had with reporters. i know you were on the call. i heard you ask a question. several of the questions were about the delay between when these problems cropped up and when toyota acted to do something about them. how did you think they dealt with those questions? >> i still think there are questions, judy, about the time line in this. and one of the things i find intriguing is the fact that in 20078-- 2007, the tundra their big pickup truck was recalled nor an accelerator related issue. toyota said that they had fixed them sort of in-flight. they fixed them during production. and they went on. and the tundra from 2007 is

pretty much all over the automobile sector, just like the woes that gripped the likes of boeing and airbus >> it seems like so, but there's a bit of reaction causing all this hype. it's actually not very high. if this news had come maybe six months ago, it would have just vanished. but i think with millions of vehicles being recalled, every single new vehicle that is getting recalled would, you know, create news. >> absolutely. and mr. akio toyoda testified for three hours. but i was watch some parts of it. but even seeing that, i think for most people, i don't think we have any more clarity as to what is precisely wrong. but i think for a lot of consumers worldwide, you're wondering if you have a toyota parked in your garage, you know, am i willing to take my children, am i willing to take my parents or other loved ones in there. you're going to find like a bit of a skeptic especially given the pr, the campaign that they have so not gotten right so far. >> i think there are two issues to it. one is the pr part of it and the other one is the product part of it. i think pr part of it, we ha
