his speech was unpacking the new order. i think what he was basically talking about was the united states leading western efforts to try to impose technology sales to china to make china less capable with things like ship mate making and green technologies and i have to say that many people in that room, business delegates, would probably agree with them. the old order, if you want to call it that, the idea of countries making stuff that is the quickest and efficient countries, making it and then selling it so people who need it, ithink selling it so people who need it, i think that worked for many businesses. the problem is that western governments were not that happy about that because if you have a dominant country, and poses a threat to you if you are a western country and that is why you see chip not technology restrictions in the us and the retaliation, the rare earths potential ban or at least restriction of what china has to the rest of the world. this is fundamentally what the tension is at this conference. paddy keep global supply chains sleek and the business community happy but how do you balance that with competing governments or political interest that you see from the world's leading powers. the us stock exchange is preparing to delist a company, after it was filing for bankruptcy, once worth billions of dollars the company struggled under the weight of a huge debt pile and a failing management style, the former executive said he said the anticipated bankruptcy was disappointing and we have spoken to an expert and she gave me her appraisal of his leadership. i5 gave me her appraisal of his leadership-— gave me her appraisal of his leadership. gave me her appraisal of his leadershi. , ., leadership. is not something i would recommend _ leadership. is not something i would recommend founders . leadership. is not something i -

and we've been struggling in the uk to come up- with the computing capacity to tackle the challenge. - we've taken huge amount of data — observations of the planet, - data from satellites, - from drones, on—the—ground sensors, and we pull those i together and look for insights based on that. the government had invested £900 million and this isjust phase one. but critics argue it is not enough to keep up with the silicon valley companies. voice-over: for more -
