three departures in its top team amid scrutiny over big tech crackdown. and the owners of google and facebook over alleged �*uncompetitive practices�*. a £100 billion problem. is the uk's huge trading relationship with china unde threat from claims of hacking and election interference? welcome to world business report. i'm marc ashdown.

first up, it's all change at boeing. the plane—maker has revealed that its chief executive dave calhoun will leave by the end of this year. the company also said the boss of its commercial airlines division will retire immediately, while its chairman will not stand for re—election. the firm is under pressure after a door panel on a plane blew—out in mid—air injanuary. no—one was injured during the incident, but the firm's safety record has come under renewed scrutiny. michelle fleury. some management shake—up. what's going on. you some management shake-up. what's auoin on. ., . . going on. you have the chief executive. — going on. you have the chief executive, dave _ going on. you have the chief executive, dave calhoun, i going on. you have the chief- executive, dave calhoun, whose to step down at the end of this year. his department as part of this broader management shake—up and you also have stern deal, the head of the division that makes the plane for commercial customers, he will retire immediately and is going to be replaced by stephanie pope.

meanwhile you've got the company also announcing its chairman will not stand for election to the board. why is this all happening? because boeing is grappling with its most significant safety crisis in years. it's a crisis that has left its customers frustrated. last week a group of us airline ceos sought meetings with boeing directors to express their concern over what has been going on, starting recently with that alaska airlines incident. that was when a door plug fell out. it is an unusual sign, you don't typically see that frustration with the manufacturer and i think this was an attempt by management to try and restore faith. i was an attempt by management to try and restore faith.— and restore faith. i guess it will take months — and restore faith. i guess it will take months but _ and restore faith. i guess it will take months but the _ and restore faith. i guess it will take months but the share - and restore faith. i guess it will i take months but the share prices and restore faith. i guess it will - take months but the share prices up early this morning and i guess market likes it but some shareholders will be pushing for even more change. will this do enough?

even more change. will this do enou~h? , , enough? this is something in aviation circles _ enough? this is something in aviation circles have - enough? this is something in aviation circles have been - enough? this is something in - aviation circles have been talking about for a while, what can boeing do to regain trust. there was a scathing report from the government, clearly customers are deeply unhappy. the initial reaction has been positive and investors say this is a good thing for boeing. it's a step forward and they are trying to regain confidence. and clearly the ceo felt he had to fall on his sword and this was part of the company's bid to put this whole mess behind them. but if you listen to what analysts are saying, they say a lot depends on who is chosen as the successor of dave calhoun and will that be enough to change the company's culture. i want to read you a quote from robert public, the senior portfolio management at dakota wealth, and he says this is going to be short lived, it's going to take a little bit more time for boeing to get straightened out. but the company will certainly not be

going out of business. the government won't allow that to happen of course. if you look at the world of aerospace there are only two companies, boeing and airbus, so there is huge pressure for boeing to get this right. at the moment, a once great company is not so great and they are trying to right the ship. let's look at big tech because in the last few hours the european union has announced it's investigating some of the biggest tech firms in the world, including apple, alphabet which owns google, and meta, the owner of facebook and instagram. it's over alleged "uncompetitive practices". regulators will look into potential breaches of the digital markets act, which was introduced in 2022. if it's found they broke the rules, the companies could face huge fines of up to 10% of their annual turnover. the firms say the eu has rushed into the decision and they will defend themselves.
