it investigation into bellowing. it comes after the playmaker acknowledge some employees may have failed to carry out property quality inspections on 787 dreamliners. boeing says it will inspect all 77 jets on the inspection line. our north america business correspondent michelle fleury has more from new york. boeing's work is once again in the spotlight. america's air safety regulator, the federal aviation authority, has opened a new investigation into boeing after the company came forward and said some employees had committed misconduct by claiming certain tests had been completed when, in fact, they hadn't. now, the faa is investigating whether boeing completed inspections to confirm adequate bonding and grounding, where the wings join the main body of the plane, on certain 787 dreamliner aircraft. bonding and grounding is vital on a plane because it prevents static build up. think of it as electrical safeguards.

boeing credited a south carolina worker who saw something they felt was wrong on the production line and came forward and reported it. cutting corners at work is something that many of us may have been guilty of at various times in our lives. but given the frequency with which quality control issues keep coming up at boeing, the airline has a long way to go to regain the trust of the flying public, its customers, the airlines, as well as lawmakers. you can find more of our coverage and analysis of boeing on the bbc website, bbc.com/news. over the past few months, as israel's war in gaza has intensified, we've seen consumers boycotting brands with perceived links to israel. major fast food chains like mcdonald's and kfc have been on the receiving end of these boycotts, with the most pronounced impact felt in the middle east, where a number of mcdonald's more recently, protestors at universities across the us have called for divestment from companies linked to israel, like google, microsoft and defence contractor lockheed martin. for a closer look at the impact of boycotts, let's bring in ian lee.

he teaches strategic management at carleton university. ian, thanks for joining ian, thanks forjoining me today. i want to get your take on what has been the impact of consumer boycotts against institutions in large companies links to israel, like mcdonald's, like starbucks? thank ou, mcdonald's, like starbucks? thank you. steve- _ mcdonald's, like starbucks? thank you. steve- is— mcdonald's, like starbucks? thank you, steve. is very _ mcdonald's, like starbucks? thank you, steve. is very important - mcdonald's, like starbucks? thank you, steve. is very important to i you, steve. is very important to distinguish between sanctions versus boycotts. sanctions are imposed by countries, by nation states, boycotts are imposed by individual groups, purchase goods, against particular companies. so this is very important. the second distinction is, is the boycott against the company because of something the company did inside its company? think of anheuser—busch in the united states last year, its activities that enraged many consumers, and that boycott was effective. but secondary boycotts, thatis effective. but secondary boycotts, that is to say boycotting a company because they are involved with a

country that people are opposed to, is less successful in the research literature. so we have to make those very important distinctions, i think, in terms of analysing these success orfailures of think, in terms of analysing these success or failures of these boycotts. success or failures of these boycotte— success or failures of these bo cotts. �* ., , . ., boycotts. another distinction, -erha - s, boycotts. another distinction, perhaps. to — boycotts. another distinction, perhaps, to notice _ boycotts. another distinction, perhaps, to notice these - boycotts. another distinction, l perhaps, to notice these brands often operate a franchise model, so boycotting will impact local franchisee holders more directly than the brand themselves? indeed, and that's the _ than the brand themselves? indeed, and that's the additional— than the brand themselves? indeed, and that's the additional point - than the brand themselves? indeed, and that's the additional point to - and that's the additional point to make. we have to distinguish between the franchise versus the corporate head office, and secondly, is it impacting sales or is it impacting the brand? the research on this shows that the sales it is not as significant, generally, but the hit to the brand, the damage to the brand, is much more significant, and so this is not to suggest that boy

to keep the key rate steady at 4.35%. and that's a 12—year high. let's take a closer look at the australian economy with shane oliver from amp. shane, what are you expecting out of the rba today? we shane, what are you expecting out of the rba today?— the rba today? we expect it to hold. there is some _ the rba today? we expect it to hold. there is some risk _ the rba today? we expect it to hold. there is some risk of _ the rba today? we expect it to hold. there is some risk of ahead, but - on balance i think they will... you might describe it as a tightening bias. basically to warn australians that if we get another bad inflation number like we did in last quarter, we may get another rate hike again.— in last quarter, we may get another rate hike again. keeping that in my, do ou rate hike again. keeping that in my, do you foresee _ rate hike again. keeping that in my, do you foresee any _ rate hike again. keeping that in my, do you foresee any changes - rate hike again. keeping that in my, | do you foresee any changes coming? rate hike again. keeping that in my, l do you foresee any changes coming? i don't see any major changes in terms of growth, but inflation, i think they will revise up. they did revised other inflation numbers three month ago and if every meeting, since then we have seen

some higher—than—expected inflation numbers in the last quarter. next year, i think they will leave them as they are, so we'll that progress back towards the two to 3% inflation target, but it's not as quickly as previously thought this year. if inflation is looking high, interest rates also remain high, what does that mean for consumers? obviously uts that mean for consumers? obviously puts pressure _ that mean for consumers? obviously puts pressure on _ that mean for consumers? obviously puts pressure on consumers, - that mean for consumers? obviously puts pressure on consumers, and - that mean for consumers? obviously puts pressure on consumers, and i i puts pressure on consumers, and i think this is one reason why the reserve bank will leave rates on hold ultimately, despite the higher inflation numbers. we had retail sales figures last week, also broader measures of household spending, quite soft in the month of march, and obviously a delay in a rate cut with the risk of oi’ or the threat of another hike will strain spending and keep the spending at a low growth rates up in another part of the economy is the

strength or weakness of the australian dollar. where do you see it? lately, the aussie dollar has been heading up again and that partly reflects expectations that the fed still is on track to cut rates, but of course we're seeing this potential delay in the rate cuts in australia, so the interest differential has moved in favour of the australian dollar, so it is currently above 66 us census, below 64-bit currently above 66 us census, below 64—bit before, it is on the way to 70 cents by the year and as the us dollar weakens. we are also seeing strength in the iron ore price. that's also positive for the australian dollars. we that's also positive for the australian dollars.- that's also positive for the australian dollars. ~ ., australian dollars. we will leave it there. australian dollars. we will leave it there- thank _ australian dollars. we will leave it there. thank you _ australian dollars. we will leave it there. thank you for _ australian dollars. we will leave it there. thank you for speaking - australian dollars. we will leave it there. thank you for speaking to l australian dollars. we will leave it l there. thank you for speaking to me today, shane oliver there. thank you for speaking to me today, shane 0liverfrom there. thank you for speaking to me today, shane oliver from amp. chinese electric vehicle maker nio is making progress on plans to launch a car that's targeted at the mass market. the company's website for its sub—brand, 0nvo, went live in china on monday.

visitors are told to "stay tuned" for details of a new ev model, the l60. nio's chief executive william li has said the l60 will take aim at rival tesla's model y — that is currently the world's best selling ev. in an interview to a leading indian business news daily, india's foreign minister has defended blocking investments from china. he said india cannot compromise on its national and economic security in the name of opening up the economy. the bbc�*s arunoday mukharji explains why this is important. india's foreign minister sjaishankar was speaking to the economic times when he said that it was about protecting domestic businesses, especially the small and medium enterprises. also, batting away allegations of becoming a protectionist economy, the foreign minister also said it was about protecting the interests of the working class in the country. just to put things in context, relations between india and china have been at their lowest ever since the 2020 violent altercation along the indo—china frontier over a territorial dispute. back then, in protest, india had

banned hundreds of chinese apps — including tiktok — from operating here. new delhi has since been pushing domestic manufacturing and incentivising businesses to move production from china to india to help offset the huge trade deficit with beijing. now, this is what it all boils down to. india imports way more from china than it actually exports. according to some studies, the trade deficit in the last five years has gone up to just a little less than $400 billion. so despite the tough talk, these are the realities that india is facing. it's an aspect that has worried both economists, as well as strategic affairs experts. the european union has approved the $14.9 billion purchase of us steel by japan's nippon steel. in a move viewed as a formality, the european commission said it cleared the deal because the firms will have "limited market positions resulting from the proposed transaction".

the acquisition has faced opposition in the united states, with presidentjoe biden saying he believes the us steel—maker should remain domestically—owned. i will have more for you on asia business report in the next hour. in the meantime, bye for now.

hello there, i'm 0lly foster. here's what's coming up for you on sportsday. kyren wilson is on top of the world — there's a new name on snooker�*s greatest prize. another low, though, for manchester united, humbled at crystal palace. and merlier makes it over the line first at the giro d'italia, but pogacar is still pretty in pink.

hello there, welcome along to sportsday. kyren wilson is the new world snooker champion. he held his nerve to beat qualifierjakjones to win the title for the first time, beating the welshman 18 frames to ia at the crucible in sheffield. jones was always playing catch—up, from being 7—0 down, but he did mount something of a comeback with his first century of the final as he looked to cut wilson's lead. the match wasn't of the highest quality, some easy pots missed and a few outrageous flukes — wilson with that one. both men benefited from those. jones won three frames in a row, his best spell in the match, and he trailed byjust three at one stage. but wilson finally got over the line.

he was runner—up to ronnie 0'sullivan four years ago. that was during the pandemic and only a limited number of spectators were allowed in. he certainly enjoyed this moment. i'm trying so hard to inspire a younger generation, hopefully i'm inspiring my kids. they did an interview this week and someone asked them who their sporting idol is — they said ronaldo, so hopefully i've overtook him now! is - they said ronaldo, so hopefully i've overtook him now!— i've overtook him now! laughter it's areat. i've overtook him now! laughter it's great- i _ i've overtook him now! laughter it's great. i want _ i've overtook him now! laughter it's great. i want to _ i've overtook him now! laughter it's great. i want to say _ i've overtook him now! laughter it's great. i want to say thank - i've overtook him now! laughter it's great. i want to say thank you | it's great. i want to say thank you to each and everyone you for making this so special. i was robbed of this so special. i was robbed of this in the covid final. i will never forget this this in the covid final. i will neverforget this moment, so this in the covid final. i will never forget this moment, so thank you all. never forget this moment, so thank ou all. �* ~ ,, erik ten hag took full responsibilty for manchester united's 4—0 defeat at crystal palace but says he's still the man to get the club moving in the right direction. it was their biggest defeat to palace in over five years and the first time palace have done

the double over united. they won at old trafford in september. michael 0lise scored twice, with goals from jean—phillipe mateta and tyreek mitchell. united were hit by a fair few injuries and had a makeshift defence, but palace certainly deserved the win. they're finishing the season strongly, with four wins and a draw in their last five. united remain eighth, with european football a real long shot next season. i prepare the team in the best way i can. and we have many problems, so the only focus i have, to perform better with my team. so just finally tonight, - it doesn't add to any concern for yourself about your position? i don't think about this, and that is, i think only about making my team better. and it's necessary, because we are underperforming. stay humble, focus on the details. we struggled with

defensive set plays. so we have to be honest — they could have scored one or two, but at the moment, we scored one. so, yeah, we always look at what we can improve. but, yeah, of course, this now is a very, very good phase of the season. the former spain and wolves boss julen lopetegui has agreed a deal to replace david moyes at west ham. the club has confirmed that moyes will leave at the end of the season when his contract expires. lopetegui left wolves last august after just nine months in charge. his most successful managerial spell was his three years at sevilla, where he won the europa league in 2020. under moyes, west ham have twice finished in the top seven, but they have been struggling this season and haven't won in the past month. there has been success under david moyes. there's no doubt about that. nobody can argue that. "should we change direction or not? "should we just give more

spectable to the fans, "more possession, more this and that?" the kind of thing you get with lopez ——julen —— julen lopetegui. quite clearly, with the success in last season, moyes had to stay. the chairman wants west ham to move in a different direction. to the third stage of the giro d'italia, where tim merlier sprinted to victory in fossano, finishing ahead ofjonathan milan. but that's only half the story, as nick ransom reports. the italian heartland between the ring and jen noah gave the race favourite tadej pogacar hope for a more relaxed afternoon after a puncture and crash on sunday. latter terrine provided slovenian opportunity to rest behind team—mates while sprinters took centre stage. and they did with around 50 km to go, forming their own breakaway. however, that lead soon fell away as the finished drew closer. withtwo columbus left, plug a car in pink and fancied a breakaway of his own alongside geraint thomas. the overall leaders could not keep their position at the

front, though, with the sprint ultimately showing their muscle surge to the finish line. a near for our race had become a bit of a lottery and the man with the lucky ticket was belgian tim merlier on the left, who stole the stage by the narrowest of margins. thomas still trails pogacar in the overall classification, the wall be favoured was today beaten, he is 46 seconds clear of the competition. —— of all be favoured was today beaten. nick ransom, bbc news. this could be bad news for tennis fans. world number two jannik sinner says he'll only play at this month's french open if he's 100%. the australian open champion has pulled out of this week's italian 0pen because of the injured hip that also saw him withdraw midway through madrid masters. he would have been a big draw in rome, in what is his home event. 0bviously, obviously, it's a tough call for me to not play here, but i have to take care of the body firstly. it's one

of, if not, the most special toward them and i have throughout the whole year, so it's a tough pill to swallow, but ijust try year, so it's a tough pill to swallow, but i just try to year, so it's a tough pill to swallow, but ijust try to get back to 100% as soon as possible, hopefully trying to play in paris, and then wimbledon and all the rest. so we'll take our time. there is no rush. and, yeah, hopefullyi so we'll take our time. there is no rush. and, yeah, hopefully i can get back very, very soon. it's 70 years since one of sport's greatest feats. british runner roger bannister was warned by doctors not to even attempt running a mile in under four minutes because they thought it would kill him. but on the 6th of may 1954, the then—medical student, who died in 2018, ran the distance in 3:59.4. patrick gearey has the story. archive: 25-year-old roger bannister, - third from the left, gets away at the iffley ground, oxford, for the race of his life.

and so began 3:59.4 seconds of british sporting history. archive: chris brasher. setting the pace in front. there was certainly a feeling of it being a national event and something of a landmark for the country. but it had to be me attempting it, so it was entangled with my own effort. bannister, training to be a doctor, was trying to prove something, perhaps to himself, having slipped to fourth at the olympics two years earlier. but he was also engaged in an experiment. at the time, some scientists believed you would kill yourself trying to run a mile in four minutes. bannister disagreed. his friend chris brasher was tasked with setting the correct pace and tempering bannister�*s enthusiasm. we seemed to be going so slowly. impatiently, ishouted, "faster." but brasher kept his head and didn't change the pace. bannister was an amateur, running was secondary to his studies, and he'd regard his medical career as the greater achievement of his life.

but when the second pacemaker, chris chataway, started to tire, his moment arrived. when my mind took over. it raced well ahead of my body and drew me compellingly forward. i felt that the moment of a lifetime had come. i collapsed as i crossed the tape, but then i recovered sufficiently to hear him announcing in a time which, subject to ratification, will be a new world record. three... and after that, the noise of the crowd obliterated the remainder of his announcement. archive: roger bannister had achieved a new peaki in the history of sport. it was a great surprise to me to be able to do it today, and i think i was very lucky. as you can tell, bannister wasn't one to oversell it, but others have compared his achievement to the conquest of everest or the first transatlantic flight. he was simply happy to have proved his point. i was able to retire from running

with a fairly happy ending. having, ithink, shown what i had always believed — that the four—minute mile was merely a psychological barrier, not a physical barrier. and of course, subsequent events have amply proved that. bannister�*s record was beaten just 46 days later, and seb coe was one of many to set new mile frontiers. archive: and he comes home with a new world record. - but they've all run in his slipstream. sir roger bannister believed that the mind should not constrain what the body can do. in that sense, he is the creator of the modern record—breaker. patrick gearey, bbc news. the amazing story of the four minute mile that was broken 70 years ago. that story, our top story of is on the snooker table in sheffield because kyren wilson is the new world to snooker champion. he beat

jakjones. you can see all of that on the bbc sport website, that is all from me and the team for now. hello. well, your bank holiday monday probably came with a rain interruption at some point. it was pretty unsettled. some lengthy spells of rain across the south—east of england, but plenty of showers elsewhere. others, though, managed some sunshine. and in lincolnshire, we had 11 hours of sun, so it wasn't so bad there, whereas others had the downpours. and across parts of northern england, we had a couple of funnel clouds spotted — one over saddleworth moor and another one in the derbyshire area. the weather is going to be improving, though, over the next few days as a ridge of high pressure starts to move its way in and that will tend to settle the weather down. a slow process. we've still got a bit of rain left over across south—east england, one or two showers elsewhere, but these will tend to fizzle over the coming hours.

and temperatures as we start off tuesday morning, generally around 8—10, the coldest spots down to about 5 degrees. and that's probably where we'll have the best of the early morning sunshine. now, what you do start off the day cloudy, and particularly around some of these north sea coasts, it could be quite grey. some mist and fog patches around, a few spots of drizzle, but it is an improving picture for the majority. cloud will thin and break up, with sunny spells becoming widespread into the afternoon. outside chance of a shower? yeah, it's possible, perhaps across the hills of wales and south—west england, one or two elsewhere, but not as many as we've seen over recent days. the vast majority of you will have a dry day and it will feel warmer when the sunshine comes out. the high pressure continues to build in for wednesday, but we do have weather fronts that will try to sneak in from the north—west. so wednesday, again, it should be a fine day for the vast majority of the country. certainly england, wales, most of northern ireland looking dry with spells of warm sunshine, probably quite hazy sunshine. there will be some high cloud in the sky. but across the hebrides, highlands, orkney and shetland, it will turn cloudy, quite windy with outbreaks

of rain moving in. in the sunshine, though, temperatures more widely climbing into the low 20s, so feeling progressively warmer. thursday, you've still got a risk of a few showers, this time for scotland. otherwise, some broken cloud and sunny spells. should be another dry day for most areas of northern ireland, england and wales. and again, those temperatures continue to climb. we're up to 19 in belfast. the warmest weather probably across eastern england, where temperatures will reach around 22, possibly 23 degrees celsius. that is going to feel warm in the sunshine, and there is more of that sunshine as we finish the week and head into the weekend, albeit probably with an increasing risk of seeing some showers moving in. that's your latest weather. bye— bye.
