it will be a huge relief to toshiba, because it is desperate to get this deal done. escalating, they had an accounting scandal, and with this particular company, westinghouse, they bought another company in 2015 which was building nuclear company in 2015 which was building nu clear rea cto rs company in 2015 which was building nuclear reactors in the us, the budget there, they overran desperately, which meant losses for toshiba, and so they are trying to get rid of this part of the company so they can focus on their core business, which is chip—making. sugita lin, thank you very much. —— yogita limaye. driverless cars are shaping up to be one of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century. but truly self—driving vehicles remain a long way off. 0ur crash—test dummy, or correspondent theo leggett has been trying some safety features. proper driverless cars will not be on the market for a few years, but there are already automated systems which can improve safety which are fitted to cars you can buy today. so to find out more, we have borrowed a test track,

toshiba is up a bit today as well, so everyone is looking across the board as a good deal.are still talking -- there are still talks to go forward, and the deal is supposed to be ironed out in the third quarter 2018, so there may be a few more curves to the toshiba/ westinghouse adventure along the way this year. rishaad: absolutely. is it a loss for the whole of this division? know, yes, far as we it is, for the whole of the westinghouse. course, are sparse. we are not 100 percent sure exactly how they are going to restructure the company, what they are looking at, but in a statement from brookfield, they said the service part of the company, that is, westinghouse business of servicing, existing around, in thes, united states, in europe, and other countries, does seem to be quite profitable. brookfield looks to tap that. haidi: brookfield doesn't have any experience in nuclear energy. what is the rationale behind why they have done this, what they are hoping to get out of it? mentioned,ll, as i just a moment ago, they see the value in the service part of the business at we

toshiba has jumped after agreeing to sell claims in its westinghouse eunice to bolter capital by 3.7 billion dollars. that should avoid being delisted after-tax profit, they expect wanted to have billion dollars from the deal. the deal to sell memory chips may not close by march. global news 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i'm paul allen, this is bloomberg. thank you for that. china is expected to reveal a year of economic acceleration when it reports annual gdp figures later on thursday. -- currently having expanded 6.8% on year, although it has been reported tipping 6.9%. will the chief -- the chief economic list asia joins us. it does look like it has been leaked. 6.9%. it is a debate between him and market economists on how fast china grew. i will put my money on him being correct. he has probably seen the data already. that said, 6.8%, 6.9%, this is not a huge difference. both numbers point to an acceleration from 2016. first growth since 2010, comfortably above the 6.10 part -- target. it will be a positive data rel

they have a long-term agreement with toshiba that is providing them with flash memory.ve much detail on what that is going to add to their market share or what the financial benefits of that deal would be. i talked to one of our reporters for bloomberg intelligence, and he said people wanted them to get more granular on that point as well. he said he thought the lack of detail on other issues was to blame. you could look at what the shares have done over the past year. they are up over 22%. we have seen a rally going into the earnings report. there are some lofty expectations. players, only two western digital and seagate at this point. seagate trades higher than western digital. that is possibly weighing on this. vonnie: julie hyman, thank you. shery: it is a big week for tech as some of the biggest stars are slated to report earnings. we will hear from microsoft, apple, and alphabet. joining us is cory johnson. great to have you with us in the studio. what can we expect? cory: these companies have been driving technology. you cannot emphasize enough the role of these

a lot of those had to do with toshiba and the big fight over that i think from a valuation perspectivend the growth that they have that potentially at this point in time i disagree with this call and i think that there's more upside than downside i absolutely think this could be very easily a $100 stock in the not-too-distant future. >> josh, what do you think on this one >> i'm not a fan it sliced below its 200 day at the ending of november you have to really look hard to find a technology stock that topped out in the fall and just did not participate in the last let's call it five or six weeks. i'm not on the hunt for those. frankly there are incredible charts in every sector in technology they're coming out of our ears. it's not to say that pete will be wrong on this trade from this level, i just find it to be too hard in the context of a lot more pure opportunities without in my view as much confusion so i would wait for a fresh high in this one and not catch what could be a falling knife. >> although i would say -- >> go ahead, pete. >> i wanted to go back i think that this has cr

there first quarter we are hearing from western digital since they ended the nasty legal fight with toshibathat call is starting right now. backs to you. >> thank you josh lipton in san francisco. guy, your report >> intel is the report we talked about this at the beginning of the month it was unanimous across the desk the sell off off of that announcement was probably overdone talk aboutet going in front of a story. he did a good job. they had some flaws but did a good job they were right up front about it and this report proves the selloff was overdone i think it's going to continue to rally off of this report. >> there was an adverse relationship between amd and intel. and then when the ceo of intel got on and said this is ubiquitous through the whole entire space everyone is going to have the security breaches and whatnot going forward then you saw them start to work basically in the same direction. i think the strong report out of intel, the bar was low and they crossed over it. that's going to be strength for amd. and the other side of it, wdc, that one is going to be weak going forwa

if they dump this stuff on our shores, even ronald reagan dealt with that when toshiba was doing this with chips in the early 80s right? >> and harley-davidson unfortunately as well, neil but when countries engage in trade manipulation, neil when they pass tariffs when they pass taxes they're screwing their own people and screwing their own citizens. that's who they're hurting so if americans say leave me free, i believe in a free country they should demand free-trade. david: but you also have to focus jonathan, on what trump has done as posed to what he's saying as opposed to what he said in a campaign trail was very different from what he has been doing at least in the first year of his presidency with regard to trade issues, so people like you who are purities on free-trade and i appreciate your thought on that issue i am generally so too but in a real world trump has not been acting the way he's been talking so just wait a bit and see what actually happens. neil: lena, are you afraid this could escalate? i know you say it's not a trade war and we hope you're right. >> i am not con
