the company lags behind amazon and microsoft in the cloud infrastructure business. france has announced the introduction of a range of green taxes on flights from its airports, to reduce the environmental impact of air travel. the taxes will come into force next year. funds raised — about $200 million — will go to improve alternative french transport, including local trains. shares in a number of european airlines fell on the news. james dyson, the british billionaire and inventor of the bagless vacuum cleaner, has purchased the most expensive apartment in singapore, where his company plans to build an electric car. the three—storey "super penthouse" at the top of singapore's tallest building was reportedly sold for $54.2 million. not bad if you've got the cash! karishma vaswani is looking at this story. you're not in the penthouse, we should be clear! a very different outlook from the bbc bureau! no where near the figures it is thought james dyson paid for the super penthouse. it was called a bungalow in the sky when it was marketed a couple of years ago as l

the justice department didn't name any companies, but facebook, google, amazon and apple are likely to be scrutinised in the wide—ranging probe. it marks the latest scrutiny of the tech giants' power over the american economy. the company behind social media app snapchat says it added 13 million daily active users in the last quarter. snap inc beat analysts' estimates as it got a boost from a better version of its android app and the launch of new augmented reality photo lenses. shares of snapjumped 9% in after hours trading. we have many companies reporting their earnings this week and ford is one of them. ford will announce its latest earnings later, after showing a strong first—quarter on growing demand for its pickup trucks and suvs. ahead of that the carmaking giant has revealed details about its plans to develop an all—electric version of america's best selling vehicle — the f150 pickup. bbc business correspondent michelle fleury has more. ten double—decker train cars weighing over1 ten double—decker train cars weighing over 1 million ten double—decker train cars we

but amazon is facing growing pressure over its sheer size and power. it's facing antitrust investigations in the us, along with the other tech giants, and earlier this month, the european commission also began an investigation into whether amazon is abusing its role as a marketplace provider. victoria. with us now is hussein kanji, a partner at venture capital firm hoxton ventures. thanks very much for coming in. i wonder whether you think amazon is really abusing its market dominance? it isa really abusing its market dominance? it is a hard one. it definitely has a lot of market power, and like most big companies it will exert that power, but in the end consumers benefit from lower prices, so the traditional behaviour sees customers suffering when prices go up, and thatis suffering when prices go up, and that is what we complain about with infrastructure, but in this case eve ryo ne infrastructure, but in this case everyone kind of wins, but amazon really wins in a big way. well, that is eight, it is not a traditional monopoly, so traditional monopoli

antitrust regulators will investigate amazon the world's largest online retailer to see if its use of other merchants data breaches the block's antitrust rules meanwhile here in germany the consumer protection agency have a victory against the e-commerce giant german authorities are making amazon change how it works with 3rd party merchants in europe both the sellers and amazon and need to take more responsibility for incomplete or inaccurate order fulfillment will also need to wait 30 days before blocking or closing selling at closing the seller account excuse me in exchange germany's federal cartel office says it will drop its investigation into amazon. now the latest figures from the international air transport association show demand for passenger aviation in the next 2 decades is going to surge and the asia pacific region with countries like china indonesia and those leading the charge but in europe so-called flight shame is increasing social pressure on travelers not to fly as they're made out to consider the environmental impact of each trip. 100000 that's how many people come

i turn to amazon. alexa, what is amazon? it's a multinational american technology that focuses on e—commerce, cloud computing, digital streaming and artificial intelligence. is known for its disruption of well—established industries through technological innovation. its dominance is problematic with its growth getting rid of retailjobs and it has faced criticism over worker conditions at its warehouses. it's not a good look for amazon or any of these companies where efficiency is so prized that the human component is challenged. one decision it may come to regret, its failure to replace a second headquarters in new york —— place. the acrimonious split with the biggest city in america may have a situation where governments are less friendly to amazon. alexa, is amazon good or evil? i like amazon. without amazon, i wouldn't exist. good or evil? i like amazon. without amazon, iwouldn't exist. michelle fleury, bbc news, new york. in other business news, malaysian anticorruption in other business news, malaysian anticorru

the justice department didn't name any companies, but facebook, google, amazon and apple are likely to be scrutinised in the wide—ranging probe. it marks the latest scrutiny of the tech giants' power over the american economy. the international monetary fund has cut its growth forecasts for the global economy for this year and next. it predicts growth of 3.2% in 2019, and 3.5 % in 2020. the organisation said growth "remains subdued" and there is an urgent need to reduce trade and technology tensions. reports say that nissan plans to expand job cuts to over 10,000 to help turn around its business. that would include the 4,800 job cuts it announced in may. let's go to our asia business hub where shara njit leyl is following the story. lovely to see you. so what is nissan likely to be doing? what are the report saying? well, that's right, sally, you say these 10,000 jobs potentially cut, all based off media reports citing unnamed sources. nissan's spokesman has told the bbc the company does not comment on such speculation but we know that these potential cuts come after the car—maker

they have never touched live sport whereas amazon. they never touched mainstream entertainment. most of what next for dexter scripted drama. i don't think they will but they have to consider whether they will look at other entertainment genres and that as a way to bolster their subscriber base. presumably, especially as on the horizon disney its own screening, streaming service and apple, they are going to have to work hard to retain customers. apple, they are going to have to work hard to retain customersm apple, they are going to have to work hard to retain customers. it is the first time that they are subscriber base has gone down in america. not since they split their subscriber dvd rental service have they seen a drop in customers. always on the record saying words to the effect that netflix want to make your favourite tv show. i am not sure that is right because disney is loved, apple will be investing a lot of money. the advantage they have is they were the first to market and they were the first to market and they already have this big subscriber base. disney of course a

there's always been a sort of interesting dynamic with investors and amazon amazon was really it really wasn't profitable and told around 2015 and it only started posting real like above $1000000000.00 profits in 2017 and investors are really willing to just sort of look aside and focus on the revenue growth and that sort of helped it become one of the biggest companies in the world despite only having small revenues but what's sort of shifted over the past few years is that amazon's revenue growth has started to slow it's sort of face saying new competition and it's facing just you know the problems that come with being such a massive company and i think that's been really concerning for investors so people really want to see amazon make a big investment and you know the future of growth for this company is so i think they're generally was you know i think investors are looking for amazon to make these investments and they're willing to sort of discount the profits and we did see that and the stock reaction yesterday there was general concern about about the cost of this and we saw the

and amazon of course is working hard to increase profit and to do that it needs workers they should be flexible and not too costly in the u.s. it's now become quite a trend for workers to camp in vans close to warehouses of online giants ws all of us reports. the recreational vehicle the r.v. a symbol of freedom. home is wherever you take it and were ever work may take you. to camp grow your own the warehouse in hebrew in kentucky is home to a road that doesn't work campers it's 2 pm time to get up for robert barker he works the night shift. good morning good morning robert are you doing good hours here should. it was great ok yeah easy money man you know basically robert you have your whole life inside that man yeah i've been living in my van for 6 years now. working seasonal work for amazon and i've done some also i've worked a job in alaska salmon cannery have worked and beat harvest and. amazon's been really good to me and it's really easy money and allows me the freedom to do what i want. robert is $46.00 he has no partner no children and very few expenses amazon pace's camp side
