Chief Policy Adviser Martin Baxter of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment also finds cars a smart move for the company, but not necessarily a stand-alone type.

"With the air quality issues in the news, obviously, electric vehicles have the potential to reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere - if we have the renewable energy sources to generate electricity," he said.

"Apple has a big role in the vehicle, as well as energy harvesting, which makes the process more efficient. It would be an entirely new market for them, and will solve these problems."

"They could have done more to maintainability," he said.

"It's great that they can repair the material, but what we want to be more durable product."

This can help to increase sales, but

With Apple, you have to do next?

Apple, reported its first drop in sales in 13 years on Tuesday. Sales were down about $ 8 billion (£ 5,5 billion) compared to the same period last year, and its shares fell nearly 20% in the last 12 months.

Although it is fair to say that the company is still a long way from poverty - it has about $ 200 billion in offshore reserves alone - many see the news as a sign that the winning formula he upheld for so long is not enough any longer.

So, where the next billion-dollar business? BBC asked the experts.

Ben Wood of CCS Insight specializes in looking into the IT industry.

Virtual Reality, which the Executive Officer Tim Cook has already declared the region a great potential, and many Apple rumors, the car can be extremely profitable both for tech giant, he said.

He also believes that Apple can set its sights on the potentially lucrative Indian market.

"Despite the fact that this is a difficult task for the company Apple's, to sell the full price of iPhones in India, the enormity of the population and the potential for adoption of smart phones can not be ignored," he said.

Otherwise, Apple may take on the likes of Amazon and Sky as the main content provider, Mr. Wood stated.

"Apple has a huge cash pile, which would allow to easily acquire the rights to major sporting events, or other hot areas of content," he said.

"Taking into account its ability to distribute content on the vast installed base of wealthy owners of Apple devices, this may be a new direction for the company."

Bank of England to work with the new body cybersecurity

The first task of the new center of the UK Cyber ​​Security will work with the Bank of England, the government announced.

Work will include the establishment of standards for the financial sector in terms of sustainability of the type of cyber threats that could undermine the economy of the UK.

The new body - now renamed the National Center for Cyber ​​Security (NCSC) - was opened in the last year the Chancellor.

It is designed to bring the experience of the UK in the cyber one place.

Kieran Martin, now a senior official in the DSP, will be the first head in the NCSC.

"We must have a one-stop shop that people inside and outside the government can go," Matthew Hancock, Minister for the Cabinet Office told the BBC, saying that the NCSC will strive to be an authoritative source in the UK information security information.

The new center is designed to deal with the criticism of the existing mechanisms, as too opaque.

Increased access

DSP is the lead agency on cybersecurity, but because it's secret intelligence service in Cheltenham, it has not always been available or set to exchange information and communicate more broadly.

The new center is designed to remedy this problem by having a foot in the closed world of intelligence and public and corporate spaces.

The center will work with regulators - such as banks - provide advice to the private sector.

It will also work with other government agencies, critical national infrastructure and the wider business community and the public.

The greater the potential risk to the country, the closer the facility is likely to be associated with a particular department or business.

In the event of future violations, such as that of cyber-Talk-Talk in the past year, it is likely to be the center, which acts as the focal point for communications and consultations.

Those involved stress that the role of government is to protect the country from cyber-attacks, and to promote good practice, but that the responsibility for any attack that does take place will still rest with those who owns the data.

NCSC will be based in London and is expected to fully open for business in October.

Along with Ciaran Martin, Dr. Ian Levy, currently technical director of Cyber ​​Security at GCHQ, joined as technical director.

Minister: "Legacy" landline charges should be abolished

Homeowners signing up for broadband packages may be exempt from the rent on their land line if they do not use it, in accordance with the proposals to be discussed by the Minister of Culture.

Ed Vaizey said charges of about £ 18 per month are "obsolete."

He wants homeowners to pay only for those services that they use to describe the current system as "billing system analog in a digital world."

Minister welcomes BT, TalkTalk, Virgin and Sky for discussion.

One in five home owners do not make fixed line calls, but have to pay for landline connections.

Mr Vaizey said: "If the company came up with a different pricing structure, that is fine, as long as consumers can see what they are paying."

According to the minister, ending hidden costs, such as line rentals may mean other products are becoming more expensive, but he wanted transparency around pricing.

Price confusion

Advertising watchdog, the ASA, and communications regulator, Ofcom's, need to introduce new rules on how such packages are sold in May, after a study found there was widespread confusion about the price.

A spokesmen for BT said. "Any use of the broadband uses a landline I think the focus is more on ensuring clarity about the charges when companies advertise their broadband packages.

"BT glad to meet with the minister and other players in the industry to discuss ways to make costs more understandable for consumers."

In a separate development, said Ofcom's BT to install high-speed cables for the business faster and reduce the prices charged for them.

It follows my review on the "leased lines", which are used by large enterprises and the mobile operators and broadband data transmission on their networks.

Most of these lines are owned and maintained by the name BT competing suppliers.

BT animal needs to be done to meet the growing expectations.

Ofcom said BT speech was not "acceptable", but the company says that some of the recommendations of the regulator has done little to help her "to lay the basis for improving services."

Draft proposal protrude less than a month after Ofcom has promised measures to improve the work of the BT Openreach, which is his business is responsible for the telecommunications and broadband infrastructure.

In February, the regulator stopped demanding it was split from the BT, but said it was still an option.

The BT 'relied on'

Ofcom said that Openreach takes too much time to install leased lines and does not provide reasonable assurance that services will be provided by the date of the first customers.

The proposed regulation would apply to high-speed "Ethernet" services, which are the most common type of leased lines used by enterprises, as well as the old cable.

BT said the construction of new high-speed lines is often difficult and requires street works, which created delays beyond its control.

Jonathan Oxley, Director of Ofcom's Competition Group, said: "BT relies on many companies to install these lines, but its performance was not acceptable.

"These new rules would mean companies across the UK benefit from faster setting times, greater certainty as to the timing of installation and quick repair, if it all goes wrong."

Ofcom said in 2011 the average time between a customer order line and be ready to use increased from 40 to 48 working days.

She wants that the reduction to 46 days of the end of March 2017 and returned in 40 days by 2018.

Ofcom plans to reduce the wholesale price BT charges for leased lines within three years, and expects that these reductions must be transferred to enterprises.

However, the BT said it will not do anything to help him improve customer service.

Donald Trump wins the US presidency is regarded as one of the top 10 risks facing the world, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit.

The research firm has warned that it may disrupt the global economy and to strengthen the political and security risks in the United States.

However, he does not expect that Mr. Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton, which he sees as "his most likely challenger democratic".

It is estimated as more risky than the UK leaving the European Union or of an armed conflict in the South China Sea.

China faces a "hard landing" or a sharp slowdown in economic growth and Russia's intervention in Ukraine and Syria, preceding a new "cold war" are among the events considered to be more dangerous.

"Until now, Mr. Trump has given very little information about its policies - and they tend to be prone to constant review," said the EIU in its global risk assessment, which looks at the impact and likelihood.

The EIU ranking uses a scale from one to 25 years, Mr. Trump received a rating of 12, the same risk level as "the growing threat of terrorism jihadist destabilize the world economy."

"He was extremely hostile to free trade, including in particular naphtha, and repeatedly labeled China as a" currency manipulator "," the EIU said.

He warned that his strong language directed towards Mexico and China in particular, "can quickly escalate into a trade war."

Mr. Trump has called for "a great big wall", which will be built on the US-Mexico border, paid for by Mexico to keep its illegal immigrants and drug dealers from the United States.

EU referendum: CBI warns UK release of "serious shock"

British withdrawal from the EU would cause "severe economic shock", potentially costing the country £ 100 billion and nearly one million jobs, according to a report by CBI request.

Group business lobby said the study showed that the vote to leave will have a "negative reverberations" lasting many years.

He said that the cost may be either 5% of GDP and 950,000 jobs by 2020.

But Vote Leave executive director Matthew Elliott said, employment and the economy will continue to grow after the release.

He said that "even in a distorted selection of CBI in the script to exit," he was "forced to admit" that this will happen.

CBI General Director Carolyn Fairbairn said the EU output "will be a real blow to the life, work and growth."

She said: "The savings from the reduction of EU budget contributions and regulation is largely outweighed by the negative impact on trade and investment.

"Even in the best case, it will cause a serious shock for the economy of the UK."

EU referendum timetable
For the CBI, the accounting firm PwC investigated what would happen if the United Kingdom have signed a free trade agreement with the EU, or have decided to do business as a member of the World Trade Organization, in the event of a vote in the United Kingdom, to leave in a referendum on June 23.

The company predicts that if Britain had voted to stay in the EU, average GDP growth in the period will be 2.3% between 2016 and 2020.

That compares with a 1.5% economic growth in the framework of the free trade agreement (FTA), and 0.9% if the UK had a deal as a WTO member, PwC's said.

Nevertheless, Mr. Elliott says that the average annual economic growth in both scenarios yield between 2020 and 2030 will be equal to - and in some cases beat - UK GDP forecasts for the remainder of the EU.

If Britain is in, he said PwC's GDP is projected to expand by an average of 2.3% between 2021 and 2025 and between 2026 and 2030.

In free trade scenarios, said PwC's average annual growth of 2.7% between 2021 and 2025, and an average of 2.3% in subsequent years up to 2030.

In the WTO agreement, the average annual GDP growth will be 2.6% between 2021 and 2025 and 2.4% up to 2030, PwC's forecast.

AVERAGE ANNUAL GDP growth forecasts
2016-2020 2021-2025 2026-2030
Britain is 2.3% 2.3% 2.3%
FTA scenario 1.5% 2.7% 2.3%
WTO Scenario 0.9% 2.6% 2.4%
By 2020, PwC's said it expected employment reached 32.2 million, but it could fall to 550,000 in the free trade scenario, and 950,000 in the WTO agreement.

Rate Leave say that jobs will still be created in any of the scenarios presented by PwC. By 2030, if Britain left the EU, employment will reach 34.5 million, said Vote Leave.

If left in the UK and made the free trade deal, employment will reach 34.1 million, or hit 33.9 million in the transaction of the WTO in 2030, according to calculations Vote Leave.

The report PwC said it is likely to be "significant economic and political uncertainty", when Britain voted to leave, because it can take at least two years before the United Kingdom explained its relationship with the EU on trade and other issues .

Ms. Fairbairn said: "The economy will recover slowly over time, but never keeps track of where it would be leaving in the EU would mean a smaller economy in 2030."

Mr Elliott said: "If we want to take back control and strike the kind of deal on free trade CBI refuses to even consider, the only safe option to vote to leave."

The biggest business lobby group Britain issued a report after a recent PwC survey found that 80% of respondents in the survey of members wanted to remain in the EU.

CBI said that no joins both sides of the debate, but, following the results of the survey, presented economic arguments in favor of the UK to remain in the EU.

Bangladesh Bank eyes NY Fed lawsuit after cyber theft

In February, hackers succeeded in instructing the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, to transfer money from the account to the accounts of BB in the Philippines.

After the theft, the New York Fed said that the violation did not occur in his system.

He also said that payments were verified by "standard authentication protocols."

"To date there is no evidence of any attempts to penetrate systems of the Federal Reserve System in connection with the payment in question, and there is no evidence that any Federal Reserve system has been compromised," the bank said in a statement.

"Legitimate claims"

A criminal case was initiated in Manila against the two suspects on Tuesday.

Cyber ​​robbery is one of the largest ever made.

According to Reuters, seen, the BB "is preparing the ground to make a legal claim on the loss of funds against the [Federal Reserve Bank of New York] through the judicial process."

The report from the BB states that 35 sets of instructions transfer payments were sent to the New York Fed, 30 of which were rejected by the US bank.

The incident led to the resignation of the governor of the central Bangladesh Bank Atiur Rahman.

Bangladeshi investigators are still combing the central banks of a system to obtain additional evidence and US investigators stepped in to help.
