America first agenda two davos. How will this message be received by the worlds Global League . In the Indian Premier League is set to hold its biggest ever player auction. We break down the numbers on the world s biggest sports auction. Gets friday, everyone. Good morning, asia. Hello, world. Thank you for joining us for another edition of Asia Business report. Starting in davos and donald trump has become the first sitting us president in almost 20 years to attend the World Economic forum. It was a busy first day for mr trump. He met with the uk Prime Minister were and they discussed the details of his visit to britain later this year. Donald trump also hosted a dinner with the head of the world s Biggest Companies and discussed us economic policy. The head of one of indias Biggest Companies told the bbc that mr trumps America First policy will be on display at davos for his voter base. He likes talking to businessmen so he is coming to his community. I have another point of view. Is also talking to his bast race back in america. That base is probably not very friendly to people at davos and i dont think they look kindly upon these gatherings of the 196. Kindly upon these gatherings of the i . I was told that he may in fact come here, talking to his base to say look, i went and met with davos man and told them about America First. The boss of Goldman Sachs was also in attendance. He told the bbc that Us Investment banks and their plans for brexit are reaching the point of no return but it is a sensitive subject. As a uk national, i dont know what it would feel like. Iam i dont know what it would feel like. I am an american. As a world citizen, i thought uk was good as pa rt citizen, i thought uk was good as part of europe. I am sure it was good both of them. I thought the uk die mentioned that the uk brought to europe improved europe. With the uk out, i dont think it is great, in my view, great for the uk and i dont think it is great for europe either, to be missing that ingredient. As a citizen of the world, in my view, and if i may indulge in some provincialism, my Company Stands by the open markman market and our commitment to the uk was good for the uk and for london. Most of our European Business was in a place where we do less tha n business was in a place where we do less than one third of our business echoes we keep everything in the uk and service the rest of the continent from that. We may or may not be able to do that. s new arrangement is not so good for my company. It is less good for Goldman Sachs and for Wealth Creation in the world i think it is less good for the uk. As a british person, at the court, having to throw in and get instructions from and surrender some sovereignty, i am instructions from and surrender some sovereignty, iam not instructions from and surrender some sovereignty, i am not at liberty. Instructions from and surrender some sovereignty, iam not at liberty. I i cant do that. And if i venture into that space i get criticised. Brexit secretary david davis is set to deliver a key speech on friday, outlining the uks economic plans for when it is no longer a member of the european union. He is expected to say that the uk will once again have its own trading policy which will include negotiating and signing new deals with emerging markets in asia and the americas. Returning now to the snowy swiss alps and another major talking point this year has been the need to movement. Business typically used to be seen as a boys clu b typically used to be seen as a boys club at this year the World Economic forum is being co chaired entirely by women for the first time. Many are speaking out against ending gender discrimination, Sexual Harassment and unfair pay at work. How do you stamp it out . Here are some views. No more secrets. Get it all out on the table. Lets come clean with the issues. Move on. Be inclusive in the future. The most important thing that Companies Need to do is create a pew at an merit based environment so a pew at an merit based environment so that women have confidence that they will not be discriminated against just they will not be discriminated againstjust on the basis of they will not be discriminated against just on the basis of gender. In china, most of us do not know what Sexual Harassment is. I think it is the companys obligation to educate their employees that Sexual Harassment is the wrong. It is critical to transform anger into action. And action has to start at the top. Companies need to remember that women tend to be more modest so they need to be lifted up to grow in they need to be lifted up to grow in the ranks of companies. It is very important that companies create a culture where women feel welcome, safe and empowered. Give her the chance to study anything she wants. The Metoo Movement at the World Economic forum.

Do you remember the meltdown at the fokker Chinon Nuclear Power Plant in 2011 when the huge tsunami hit . The case against three former executives at the company is in court today. For the latest i am joined by my colleague. How significant is this case . It is quite significant. Necessarily criminal case over the Nuclear Accident. You are seeing some dramatic footage of the tsunami which hit for the ashima and other North Eastern areas of japan. Fukushima. This is the only criminal case against three former executives of tokyo electric. The argument goes that they could have known that the Nuclear Accident would have happened should there be a tsunami. The three men who, at the start of the draft several months ago, pleaded not guilty and said there was no way to predict the Natural Disaster of a magnitude like that. If you remember, at a parliamentary enquiry backin remember, at a parliamentary enquiry back in 2011 it found that this Nuclear Accident was man made. The tsunami and the earthquake were not that the actual Nuclear Accident was. We will hear from over that the actual Nuclear Accident was. We will hearfrom over a dozen witnesses including employees as to whether there was any study done about it and for many of the victims family members, they hope that this trial will shed light on the broader responsibilities of the Nuclear Accident.
