he hasjust been phone is actually emmanuel macron. been elected as you say, he is otherwise engaged. at the moment, for this sort of reason, emmanuel macron can properly be seen by china as speaking for the eu and his public on to use it as much as he can. i'm sure he will. we will keep a very close eye. thank you so much for your time is a early on this monday morning. we will keep track of that visit. let stay in that part of that visit. let stay in that part of the world. the japanese firm takata has had to recall millions of additional cars over faulty airbags. it would seem the situation is not improving at all. sharanjit leyl is in singapore. nice to see you. there seems to be no end in sight to the story. that's right. it keeps on going. a sickly the latest twist in the plot is that they have recalled another 3.3 million faulty airbags in what has become the largest auto—parts recorded history. it is all part of the us audit scheduling the pears of the us audit scheduling the pears of the potentially deadly devices over several

one suspects that emmanuel macron could have come up that emmanuel macron could have come up with any they would have had to have said yes. have migrants that side rather than the side? it was important, she was the longest serving home secretary ever, she spent a lot of time dealing with issues like this. from her perspective yes, it is a lot of money but for the government, any amount of money is the right amount to keep that problem on the french side of the border. the self—declared boys of middle england, the daily mail... let's see what they think of it. —— voice of middle england. £16 million more in block capitals to stop migrants at calais. we get to borrow the bayeux ta pestry calais. we get to borrow the bayeux tapestry as a sweetener but only if the local murder agrees with it. —— but only if the local mayor agrees. but this is the prize that is to be paid, even if people are not impressed? the daily mail, consistently the most supportive of theresa may, championed her early in the leadership campaign when boris johnson was the front runner. they are not happy. this is the

president emmanuel macron, who defeated mr. penn, the right winger who mr. supported, spoken with a counter model to the west. is it a big enough counter model? >> well, i think what was interesting this week in davos, this afternoon's speech was on wednesday we had a full pack of leaders taking the floor and putting out a common vision of europe and the world, and macron was the last one to speak on wednesday, and america came before him on the same day and prime minister -- italian prime minister also did, and they were all on the same message, europe is back, europe has to be strong. and if they are on the global scene, europe will choose them. part of this is -- europe is not just a global actor that macron would like it to be, but that's where you see the two diverging visions. president trump's vision of america first is america retreating to its borders. emmanuel macron's vision and the other european leaders' vision is european expanding. >> can i ask why you think president trump has developed a good relationship with president macron? you have hear

theresa may has been over to visit emmanuel macron. they seemed at ease with each other.do wa nt at ease with each other. they do want this relationship to work and they know it will be an important one. i think for emmanuel macron because he does see himself in this very important role within the european union, not maybe a leader of it, certainly an up—and—coming leader of that political union on. . theresa may is looking to forge relationships with other countries once we leave the eu. this is very important. the ceremony around, being here at sandhurst, inspecting the troops, the fly—past adds to the sense of a special bond. maybe with theissues sense of a special bond. maybe with the issues with president trump it become a closer relationship as those months go on. many thanks. our chief political correspondent there, vicky young. time for a look at the weather now. let's cross over to nick miller. what wind there is will bea nick miller. what wind there is will be a cold one carrying further wintry showers. showers dotted about through wales & west earn england, par

france's emmanuel macron arrives in china in a bid to forge stronger economic ties between the eu and the world's second biggest economy. i'll be speaking to a leading french economist to get his take on whether mr macron will be successful in his push for greater access to china's markets. a very warm welcome to the programme, briefing you on all you need to know in global news, business and sport. and you can be part of the conversation. today we're asking is the stance in hollywood, seen today at the golden globes ceremony, leading to change elsewhere? are you seeing change where you were, for example, for some of the environment you are operating in? what is your experience? comments to #bbcthebriefing. let's begin with that ceremony that is under way in los angeles. it has a lwa ys is under way in los angeles. it has always been seen as the first of the glitzy award shows leading up to the oscars. but this year, the issue of sexual misconduct and harassment has taken centre stage in perhaps what is the first test of how this most glamorous of industries is handling a series of hi

chinese economists say they believe emmanuel macron will be able to narrow the trade gap.basically he is definitely bringing back some big deals. at least now the rumours have been saying that at least the chinese will invest in airbus, narrowing the trade deficit with france. definitely that deal with airbus is much bigger than exporting more wine and beef to the mainland. i think airbus has been traditionally there, but the new way of narrowing the gap should go beyond nuclear, automobiles, and then the airbus jet. because it is then the airbus jet. because it is the new growth area. surely the chinese also want more french investments into china. yes, and thatis investments into china. yes, and that is why i think on emmanuel macron‘s agenda will be asking china for preferential policy towards the french, which the european chamber of commerce have continued lobbying for, for a more fair trade and investment policy for european firms. but will the chinese also wa nt firms. but will the chinese also want more access not only to france but into the european union? more me
