Might see Prince William cross your path he probably wont be commenting on brags that though but others like this top german economist are speaking their minds. Is the terrible thing is that the e. U. Is trying to find a way to make britain an offer for leaving that doesnt make sense we want them to stay in the e. U. We want them to be part of it we have a historic opportunity to turn the situation around the e. U. Should be making britain an offer to stay. If brakes it were off the table europe could finally concentrate on the future again it would do well to act now so that its not left behind in competition with china and the us. It its time to talk about a new European Economic policy in the us Consumer Sector there is the digital platform economy in china we see how industry is rapidly digitizing and one of the big issues here is what is the future Digital Infrastructure for European Industry and davros is of course a forum where all thats being discussed. That. Europe will try to set the tone in davos this year even though everything is being overshadowed by briggs it. And so on briggs the british Prime Minister theresa may is facing mounting calls for a second referendum one of those voices belongs to former british Prime MinisterTony Blair Blair is in davos this week and he told the top you correspondent been for why he believes a new vote is necessary. As i understand that the idea is to to change the Withdrawal Agreement obviously thats a matter of negotiation between the British Government and europe but look this myself and others have been arguing in the u. K. That this process is is a mess. Theres no agreement as to what the future trading relationship with europe should be one group of people want us to stay close to europe another group one has to break out of the european trading system altogether these are very different futures and our view is that its got to go back to the people for decision because parliament i think will be blocked i doubt that she can get a deal through theres nobody already for any other form of break that and therefore the sensible thing in this situation is to go back and ask the people how would a second referendum change anything will change it because it would give us a conclusive result i mean people sometimes say well if you have another referendum isnt that a damage to democracy but look were going back to the people were not asking anyone else risking them weve had thirty months of negotiation theres a much clearer knowledge now of what breaks it really means is a much greater understanding of all the issues around it and i think its not unreasonable in these circumstances to ask people whether they want to think again whether or not we get another referendum what sort of break will we get in the end do you think one of the moment we just dont know and the trouble is that the two versions of breaks. That make any sense if you like because obviously a no deal breaks it would be catastrophic for everyone. The two versions are very different one version has us remaining in the Single Market for example of the Customs Union but the problem with that briggs is that it means you keep to europes rules but youve lost your say over them which would be an old thing to do given you know what the breaks of people want is to break out of the system. Secondly you could go for a third country standard Free Trade Agreement like canada for example the problem with that is that it will disrupt British Business that for four and a half decades has been doing business creating relationships trading investing on the basis that were part of the european trading system the Single Market the Customs Union so youve got to break at this point listen one this painful then the choice is not a good one this is why parliaments blocked and the trouble with the deal mrs mays putting forward at the moment is that it is completely ambiguous vague about the future and i think its not wise either for europe or for britain to leave without knowing what the future is what would you have done in the position i think the only thing that you can do is to explain to people in a sense for the Prime Minister to become the nations educator in a way and say look here are the different options this is what they mean parliaments now got to come to a choice of parliament can choose because m. P. s can find to break the works for them then you know its not i think its not wrong or strange to go back and say on a decision of this magnitude its important to us the people in all politeness so what did you do wrong in your term in office that possibly set the stage for this or led to this type of exacerbated feeling or thanks from from brits that theyre not getting a good deal from the European Union you know the thing is in my period in government obviously we had a lot of controversies in europe. But we were constantly one making the case as to why britain should be part of europe nonetheless despite all our criticisms of the european system germans of all criticisms of your do by the way everyone has but secondly the failure was to deal with the underlying issues immigration number one communities and people feeling left behind by globalization now if ive been in government my view is youve got to deal with these issues in other words even if you try and change brags it youve got to understand what gave rise to breaks it and you have to deal with those underlying issues if you dont then youre going to have a major problem and the trouble is the break that itself is not really an answer to any of these issues so this is the. Britons in and weve got to find a way out of it so whats britain going to look like in the next ten years will it be so great look the one thing id say it is important to say this to any outside audience were having a pretty profound and crisis ridden debate in britain right now but britain is a great country and the british people are great people will get on our feet again so you know whatever happens even if we can passionately opposed to break that but even if we do breaks it you know we will sort ourselves out and well get back on our feet and well well move forward so this is not simply about britain either what id say to any audience in europe is this is about europe to you pull a large economy out of europe a Major Political player out of Europe Europes weaker so this is why if we can find a way and you know theres a letter recently from german politicians that was actually very helpful very sensible letter. Signed by you know the leaders of some of the main parties in germany this is this is what we need to do we need to realise both of us europeans british our future should be together. And that was the former Prime Minister of Britain Tony Blair speaking earlier to detail hes been physical and in davos so the Business World is watching whats happening at davos lets go to our correspondent yes korda in new york where markets are reacting in part to news from that meeting and talking of course about the i. M. F. Lowering its growth projection and warning of a slowdown yes how are markets reacting to this news from the i. M. F. Well we certainly is soul wall street trading lower on huge because of the Martin Luther king day holiday on monday wall street to catch up with the reason news flow and that the i. M. F. Is lowering the projections for Global Economic growth is just further evidence that the economy in the u. S. But also globally is not doing as good as earlier projected on top of it we also got some weaker Economic News out of china so in twenty eight china actually saw the slowest Economic Growth since nineteen ninety and then on top of it here on q. Stay there were some reports that trade talks between china and the u. S. That were supposed to happen this week got cancelled even if white tells official later denied those reports but all of that together chips lost about three hundred points in value the tech stocks in the form of the nasdaq composite lost even almost two percent in value and then theres also the sense that the recent come big that we saw on wall street might have been overdone blue chips gained three thousand points just within the past four weeks quarter there for us in new york thank you the ends. And lets go back to davos the newly minted populist president of brazil jebel scenario is also there hes selling his new brazil to the global establishment now also now in brazil urgently needs investors to have confidence in the weak brazilian economy which has been run down three years of corruption and mismanagement both in our zero told the World Economic forum hes opening up brazil for business he promised to fight corruption invest in security and cut taxes to boost production and generate employment. We want to show that brazil is taking measures so that the world reestablish has confidence in us that the business will once again flourish between brazil and the rest of the World Without being guided by ideology will show the world that were a country safer investments especially in the area of agribusiness which is very important to us.
