how it could boost the saudi economy by $90 billion. the guardian among many looking at desirable destinations forforeign workers. london's still on top, but the uk as a whole‘s slipped down the annual listings. well, england at least feels like a pretty happy place to be today. many of the front pages looking like this. this is the daily mirror celebrating england's record win last night, that saw the side go into the world cup final 16. so let's begin. with me is maike currie. it is interesting to see how the turkish media is interpreting all of this. there is a lot of conversation about how free the media is in turkey anyway. this is a president erdogan supporting tabloid paper that supports his victory. there was
5:46 am
a lot of talk about how controlled the media was by the president and cabinet. 100 journalists in turkey are injail. many question marks over the broadcasting and newspapers, are they representing a fair election and giving the opposition some space? there are questions over whether the election has been free and fair. so many questions about that. whatever people think about this, he is in power and will be for a long time. because he had the referendum in 2017, that has given him sweeping powers. it has changed the whole construct from parliamentary majority to presidential. there is no prime minister. it raises questions over democracy in turkey. absolutely. something that is being unpacked by correspondence in istanbul. they are talking to people

based there. and now a the financial times is looking at beijing is in capital reserve role is to soften the impact of the us trade war. —— easing reserve. president trump is planning curbs on chinese investment in the us. the treasury department is apparently planning to heighten scrutiny of chinese investors in sensitive us industries. we have seen this trade war scenario heading to the worst—case scenario directions. very concerning. they are the trade tariffs that will be implemented in july. are the trade tariffs that will be implemented injuly. and donald trump's plans to restrict how much chinese companies can invest in us companies across the board, from robotics to aerospace. china has
5:48 am
responded to this, saying that they cannot turn the other cheek and will retaliate. all of this is concerning. as you mentioned earlier in the programme, china has reserves and it is unlocking capital reserves to inject cash into the economy, which is crucial. you watch this extremely closely for your clients. what are they saying about this? the world number one economy at war with the world number two. it is concerning. trade wars benefit no one. ina concerning. trade wars benefit no one. in a global world you need trade for employment in the economy. it is something we are watching very closely. at the moment, markets are falling a bit in asia. if you look at how people think the us markets will open, they are expected to open lower on the back of reports about
5:49 am
what donald trump they do next. it is hard to predict what he does next. that is a problem. you have to wait for the next tweet, very concerning. last year we saw chinese markets suffered the worst since the start of the year. it is concerning and will not go away soon. we will keep across every twist and turn. and is now a london based newspaper. saudi arabia, a $90 billion windfall as the night riders take to the roads. the lifting of the ban came into effect yesterday. a no-brainer. women cannot be involved in the workforce without basic human rights, such as driving. there is the human right equality aspects to it, but also allowing women to join the workforce for the benefit of the economy. absolutely. a no-brainer. these various estimates are saying this could benefit the economy by
5:50 am
$90 billion. when they saudi prince came into power, he introduced this new vision for saudi arabia. slowly, they have been making various changes about boosting the economy toa changes about boosting the economy to a great degree. yes. the saudi economy is too reliant on oil. it needs to reform and look at these basic things. they have done a lot of work in that regard. to mark this historic lifting of the ban, a formula 1 driver, a female driver, took to the streets. you can see her took to the streets. you can see her to be she is in saudi arabia celebrating these huge shift. we have reported extensively on this and have pictures of them holding drivers licenses. it is fantastic, ina sense, drivers licenses. it is fantastic, in a sense, how the world is
5:51 am
changing for women in saudi arabia. but not soon enough, many would argue. as you have said, a no—brainer that the economy is boosted by women in the workforce. it is not just boosted by women in the workforce. it is notjust an issue for saudi arabia, but many countries around the world where women are hindered as part of the workforce. 5096 of the population. you have to tap into the economic potential. another story. really interesting. the guardian in london. london is still the most desirable location for foreign workers. you are from south africa but you live in london and your husband is from south africa and your daughter is here as well. you have made this move. many people we re very have made this move. many people were very concerned that with the decision to leave the eu, london and the uk would lose desirability because people would not be able to move so easily within europe. it would seem that is not having that
5:52 am
impact yet. not in london. london is desirable as the financial capital of the world. the uk, it has fallen down the ranks. london, as some people have said, is a country in its own right, a different place to the rest of the uk. the other thing thatis the rest of the uk. the other thing that is interesting about this report is about 60% of british workers are starting to look for workers are starting to look for work overseas, which is a very big increase. you could argue brexit has had an impact. london is still extremely desirable, but it is one of the most expensive cities to live in. it is. but look at other cities like new york, berlin, barcelona, they are also expensive. what london has going for it is cultural diversity, a knocking pot, opportunities, the financial hub of the world. —— melting. opportunities, the financial hub of the world. -- melting. at the moment it is. it may change. but many
