I'm looking right now at the devastation that it's wrought here in Bangkok. There was a skyscraper that was being built. It was supposed to be a 30-story building. It was going to be a government building here in the Thai capital. But it totally collapsed in a matter of seconds. There were around 400 workers believed to be on the construction site.
When the building collapsed, many people were able to sort of scrabble out. A lot of people managed to escape from the site. But it's thought that around 100 people are still buried under the rubble. And I'm just looking at it now. I'm standing on an overpass about... 50, 60 metres away from me, and it is vast. It is a vast mountain of rubble. There are sniffer dogs looking around.
There are lots of rescue workers just desperately trying to battle through this rubble, trying to find any sign of survivors. They've been doing this for hours, by the way, Rachel, and so far, apart from the immediate aftermath of that collapse, we haven't seen any survivors come out. So people really are bracing themselves for the worst here.
Yes, she did. And she declared the whole of Bangkok an emergency zone. And there were some pretty dramatic images, footage coming out from around the city of buildings shaking. Bangkok, of course, has got many, many high-rise buildings, lots of hotels, condominiums, skyscrapers. There was infinity pools spilling their contents off the top of rooftops.
But the damage by and large has been superficial. There's not really been many reports of injuries outside of this one unfinished skyscraper that I'm looking at right now. And you just have to wonder about the workers who were here who just found themselves on a normal Friday afternoon at work in the wrong place at the wrong time on this unstable structure.
Well, some are cautiously making their way back home. If they live on a higher floor, it's less likely that they want to spend the night there. The authorities have actually set up a series of temporary encamps in parks nearby. A lot of people are still there and some people might even spend the night there.
Japan is fourth, South Korea is fifth. Also, wir sprechen über große Spieler, große Handelspartner mit den Vereinigten Staaten. Und unvergesslich war die Reaktion eine von Enttäuschung. Ich meine, die koreanische Regierung hat eine emergency meeting gehalten. Das Ministerium der Verwaltung hat sich mit Repräsentanten der Fahrerindustrie getroffen.
Sie sagen, es wird signifikante Herausforderungen für die koreanische Fahrerindustrie geben, diese Tarife. Ich denke, das ist etwas von einem Unterstatement, um ehrlich zu sein. Sie vorbereiten sich für ihre eigenen Vorgaben. which will be available in mid-April. They say shares, of course, in big Japanese car makers such as Honda and Toyota are unsurprisingly down.
Hyundai shares were also down today. It really is a huge blow for the Asian car industry and particularly, like I say, South Korea and Japan.
Yeah, I mean, I think Donald Trump doesn't really care too much about relationships, even with allies or what were allies. I think from his point of view, he just wants to try and secure what he sees as the best deal for the United States. But Japan's Prime Minister has made the point today that his country is the number one foreign investor. in the United States.
And this is hardly a way to treat a country that invests more than any other country in the world. He is still holding out for some kind of exemption in the future. But he did say, though, that if no exemption could be found, then countermeasures of their own were also on the table.
In der kurzen Zeit wahrscheinlich nicht. Er wurde in der Oval Office direkt gefragt, als er diese Tarife eröffnet hat. Und er hat gesagt, nein. Also warten wir alle, bis sie nächste Woche introduziert werden. Wir wissen natürlich, dass Donald Trump Tarife als Negotiationspläne benutzen möchte. Ich denke, wenn es um die Produktion von Autos geht, Nick Marsh in Singapore.

Es werden Leute sein, die die Vorschläge genießen würden. Es werden auch Leute sein, die nichts Besseres denken können, als 19, 20 Stunden auf einem Flugzeug zu sparen. Aber Qantas sagt, dass es für das eine Anforderung gibt. Und es ist tatsächlich eine Route, die schon Jahre und Jahre in der Schaffung ist. Die ersten Testfliege haben 2019 begonnen.
Qantas musste beweisen, dass die Piloten, Crew, Passagiere so eine lange Reise physisch und psychologisch auslösen können. Es war eigentlich dieses Jahr veröffentlicht, aber es gab Verluste mit den Flugzeugen. Regulierer wollten Modifikationen für den Fuel Tank. So the new launch is going to be in 2027, the CEO of Qantas has confirmed.
At the moment, the world's longest non-stop flight is a Singapore Airlines flight from here in Singapore to New York. That's about 18 hours or so. Perth to London is also another very long haul flight that Qantas offers. And they are very popular. Qantas says that the data shows that people don't mind putting up with the extra cost or the discomfort if it's a direct flight.
So it will be interesting to see how many people Ich hoffe, wir sehen uns in ein paar Jahren wieder.

Now, Esme, this potential solution uses an intriguing combination of substances, doesn't it?
And it effectively works as a filter. Is it 100% effective?
You were saying that these substances are easy to get hold of. So I imagine the idea of being able to scale this up is a real possibility.
Well, this is La Fontaine Jazz Club. It's the oldest in town. It's often described as the best jazz club on this side of the Atlantic. It's a little corner of America here in Copenhagen. And we've come to this place at a time where, once again, President Trump is saying he wants a not-so-little chunk of Denmark in the form of Greenland, the biggest island in the world.
