Its been a bumpy ride for european Plane Maker Airbus. Analysts brace themselves for disappointing results as orders for new planes drop. And where is the money going . Mores coming in to china from Foreign Investors but Chinese Investment overseas is falling. We explain why. Welcome to World Business report. Im sally bundock. Also in the programme, we continue with our series on disability in the work place the opportunities and challenges. But first in less than an hour european Plane Maker Airbus will tell the markets how it fared last year when it releases its full year results. Its been a tumultuous year for the company. Its been forced to accelerate last minute plane deliveries in order to meet key targets. Theres also been a slowdown in demand forjets and its even been forced to cut production of the prestige a380 superjumbo. The A400m Military Transport Plane has also proved a major drag, the project has been plagued by delays and technical problems. With me is gervais williams, Managing Director of miton asset management. What do you think they will say interned of how theyve done in the past year . They actually delivered more planes, so theres been an overall rise in planes, but the margin will coming down, so its a question of how much Going Forward they can continue to sell the old models before the new ones start coming in. How costly have the issues regarding the a400m and a380 being . They are both operating at a loss at the moment. They are still keeping the a380 going for now because they want to see if they can get new sales. But it isnt really taking off at all . No, it has had problems because not Many Airlines have taken it on because it is difficult to get. The overall aircraft going from different airports, which arent that will organise to take a double decker aircraft. What about the future orders . Is an issue with them . At the moment they are looking to get more deliveries on the a320 and a330, but at the moment they have more models coming in, so they have to work on selling the old model before the new ones arrive and not Many Airlines will buy the old model. So to get rid of the old models they have to reduce the price or have some sort of incentive there . Thats right. You taking a margin hit to get the sales at the moment, but next year in 2018 when the new models come on, at that stage there will be a strong recovery. Presumably they are boosted by the currency scenario, in the way that rolling its archrival isnt so much . Yes, boeing is selling well. Theres been a strengthening of the dollar versus the euro, so does help. Although these things do fluctuate and sometimes the dollar comes back and you will rise and it could work the other way. All right, thank you very much indeed. The results will be coming out from airbus and we are expecting them in about 25 minutes. Gervais will stick around to give us further analysis of the numbers when we get them. Invesment flowing in to china is on the up, but Chinese Investment overseas is falling. Why is that . Rico hizon will explain. He is in our Asia Business hub. Whats going on . Global acquisitions by chinese buyers have slowed significantly after two record yea rs. Significantly after two record years. 0utbound deals had dropped to 8. 5 indian dollars us, down by a0 . Thats because activity has been curtailed because of the new Capital Controls imposed by chinese authorities. Theres also been pushed back from overseas due to various concerns. Foi pushed back from overseas due to various concerns. For example, several deals in australia, like the purchase of the station and energy grid, were abandoned. There are a few deals in germany falling by the wayside. But deals china are on the price. More 7 billion has been invested in the mainland so far this year and that nearly double the same period last year. So we have deals in retailand period last year. So we have deals in retail and some staples accounting for nearly half of those. That outdoes real estate and financial deals. Beijing has long been trying to rebalance the economy away from infrastructure. Heavy industries and export led growth and towards domestic consumption. Thats why we are now seeing this move towards more investments into china, rather than outside of china. Sally. Thanks very much. Good to see you.

Does that mean there are no disabled people in ebor . Whats going on. I was really disheartened. People any more . The challenge for me really is to prove that there is not only a reason to do this from a sort of socially responsible position, there is also a value in doing this because youre going to open up your business to an enormous demographic of people. We have a spending power. People know that there needs to be better representation. You see it with plus size models, you see it with plus size models, you see it with models of different colour and size and so why. Way isnt the disabled body represented at all .

Places for 400,000 more pupils are needed by 2021, a safe, high quality buildings are hard to come by. Many schools are already in a sorry state. Most were built before the mid 19 70s, meaning worn out walls and windows or faulty electrics are a problem. It will cost a n electrics are a problem.

I think the challenge for the department is that if you dont address deterioration prom ptly if you dont address deterioration promptly that buildings continued to deteriorate and then either they can no longer be used for a school or at least it costs more to refurbish them, because the deterioration gets worse. As well as repairs to existing schools, the government is planning to open 500 new free schools over the next five years. But auditors say a lack of suitable land meant large sums were being paid to secure sites and they raised concerns that in some cases the programme had created places where they werent needed.
