9:15 pm
water, water everywhere, yet half the world's population faces water shortages, and they say the war of the future will be overwater, not oil. good to have you with us. how quickly is the situation deteriorating? we talk about climate change and talk about the co2 problem and increasing temperatures and things that are going to happen in 100 years, but the matter of the fact is that countries most vulnerable are facing already very severe problems be a drought's, lack of water, and also flooding. have beene experiencing in southeast asia and china, flooding problems. two years ago, we had severe problems. >> you're saying it's making it
9:16 pm
worse for the water situation? >> absolutely. we are already facing the problem and have to tackle it. yes, we need to become more resilient. the poor countries of the world are the most vulnerable. they have to increase their capacity to cope with these problems. >> you touched on china, the water pollution in china is at toxic levels across the country. the government has said it will name and shame. is that a good enough initiative or does more need to be done? china has that followed the process that most of the developed countries that have their rivers very clean did. you take for example england or the u.s. or france. they started by giving audible water to the citizens and collecting sewage, then treating the sewage.
9:17 pm
this is basically what china is going through, a process that all these developed countries went through, so i think the chinese government should certainly be investing now in treating the sewage using more efficient technology than these other countries used 30-40 years ago. that it is more difficult to track the quality of water as opposed to the quality of air? that makes the situation even more complicated. is not and the treatment an inexpensive process, so a lot of financial resources have to be devoted to controlling water timetion, and at the same the emerging economies, they
9:18 pm
have other important investments , in education,ke and health, energy, so on and so forth, so it is a very complicated problem in deed. us to the issue of funding, crucial to solve the water issue. you are suggesting that the green fund, which is used for environmental issues, should be used for water as well, that water should be included in it. >> absolutely, and when we talk about climate change, we are saying the impact of climate is not a matter of temperature. higher temperatures are more amenable for those who live in cold places, but the problem is water, so the fun has to be -- fund has to allocate some part two society to become -- to society to become more
9:19 pm
resilient. they have to freeze their capacity of storing water in order to face this longer drought, and also they have to be more resilient to flooding by constructing dikes that would protect the population. so the time is now that the climate fund thinks about adaptation. i'm not saying we should not be concerned with mitigation. that is the long-term. in the short-term, we have have to do something about adaptation. >> having the fund is one thing. how the fund is spent is another. innovation seems to be the way to go. if you look at countries like no proper water supply, now close to being secure in its water supply, and that is through innovation. we have not seen enough of that. >> i think you have an excellent point. i think technology and innovation are fundamental to
9:20 pm
of waterhese problems supply, sanitation, so on and so forth, but at the same time as you mentioned, we have to be sustainable in the long term, so we have to have in place the proper governance, the institutions, and the capacity of the technicians to maintain and to operate properly the system. of course, if there is no money, there is no music, so you have to have the financing. ar singapore, that is well-established economy. thatave the funds southeast asia, africa, and latin america and will need. innovation, technology, and governance are the three most important. saide egyptian president
9:21 pm
water is the issue that will make egypt go to war. of wars the risk happening overwater? >> if we do not have the proper management, yes, we have a risk, but what we are doing here through meetings like this one, through the world water forum's the council organizes every three years, is to motivate the politicians, those who make the decisions about the importance of water and its proper management. there is enough water for everybody. it's just that you have to manage it wisely and efficiently. >> we thank you for your insight. you heard it. there is enough water, but we have to manage it. angie: absolutely. coming up, a vote of confidence, live in tokyo as the focus turns 's stimulus plan
9:24 pm
"trendings is business". has promised within bold economic measures after winning a convincing victory. britt miller is joining us live from tokyo. put this election win shinzo abe in a stronger position to move forthwith his stimulus plans? >> it certainly does. it looks like he is heading for a two thirds majority in the upper house, but the question remains, how will he use that majority. has been in power since december 2012, so he has had ample opportunity to implement his policy.
9:25 pm
the question is will he use this majority in terms of changing the constitution for defense issues or whether it be for abenomics and furthering his reforms? a halfe past three and years, we have seen a lot of action in terms of monetary policy. the bank of japan has spent a lot of money and bought a lot of assets and government bonds to help stimulate the economy. the government has spent quite a lot. ofcome to that third arrow economic reform, and that is the question that we will have to see in the months and weeks ahead, whether he will knuckle down and do more in terms of economic reforms. thing.that is the there are a lot of calls for fiscal stimulus from shinzo abe, including one of his closer advisers calling for a ¥20 trillion boost. are we going to get it? >> we will certainly get more stimulus. will we get ¥20 trillion?
9:26 pm
i'm not quite sure about that. estimates for tax revenue have gone down. the government has spent a great deal of money, or at least earmarked a great deal of money for the areackage in southern japan struck by earthquakes a few months ago, so where will the money come from? is ¥20 trillion realistic? i'm not sure about that, but there will be a large package. we certainly will see more spending. the question remains how much that will be. this is still an economy that has contracted in five consecutive quarters. what are the challenges that remain? >> i would say the list. with the yen being quite weak in the early years of abenomics, that gave headwinds to the economy and government, but with the yen around 100 to the

9:36 pm
theite currency anes from surging yen, american investors -- gains fromt of the surging yen, and american investors are pulling out of japan. they have shed a must $10 billion this year. let's get more. what has been happening here? as you say, we were looking at the data for japan's stocks, etf's, and what we have seen is a huge exodus over the past year. the two biggest funds, one is from black rock, one is from wisdom tree, they have seen him was $10 billion pulled this year alone. to put that into context, there are more than 1300 etf's listed in the u.s., and both of those funds are in the top five in terms of money pull this year. angie: even with the currency play?
9:37 pm
it is surprising that some of the outflows are have appeared. , so the big characteristics of japanese stocks this year is that they are falling, huge declines, 20% , largely because of the big gain in the yen. 19% at the end of the friday. the wisdom tree fund's heads, and the others black rocks fund, unhedged. when the yen is gaining so much, edged fundged -- unh gives you the benefit of the gain. we are seeing outflows from both of them roughly the same. the exodus is happening regardless of whether you can get it if it's from currency or not. angie: that is really interesting. what are investors saying about this trend? they're sayingat
9:38 pm
is, ok, one of these funds is doing relatively better than the other one, but at the end of the day, they are both doing badly. if you compare them to u.s. stock etf's, there is really no comparison. u.s. stocks are up on the year this year, so investors we have spoken to are saying they are not that surprised. --y basically have a lot lost confidence in japanese policymakers to really turn this around in japan, so they have decided to get out. angie: tom redman, thank you for that live out of tokyo. checking in on some other stories, south korea is planning a range of penalties on volkswagen over its emissions scandal. a newspaper says the punishment is to include fines, recall orders, and a withdrawal of certification. korean prosecutors made the request, accusing volkswagen of

9:40 pm
essentially global economies are not doing too well, also more pressure on bigger airlines. bloomberg intelligent saying long haul and fares are under extreme pressure. a lot of pressure on prices in southeast asia, latin america, and the middle east. that is expected to intensify global competition and the economic environment. larger wide-body planes are likely to slow. bank of america merrill lynch expect an "quite airshow and expect to see more orders deferred and the next six months or so." angie: what is on the cards? >> there are still strong orders , single aisleanes planes. apparently going

9:46 pm
water a huge issue for the 21st century. >> that's right. , a giant a whole energy companies have said they want to be part of the green agenda, not because of the problem. the question is how far will they go, how far can they go? joining us this morning, good to have you with us. giant energy companies who want to make a difference in the green agenda, how far do you think they will go to mitigate climate change? >> i think different companies have different agendas, but i think many of the companies will go as far as the competition will let them go, if i can put it that way. in general, moving to a green agenda is more expensive, and all of these companies have shareholders who are looking for dividends. it is not really feasible for
9:47 pm
one company to go way out on a limb and make its products more expensive at the others don't have to, so governments have an important role to play here in terms of keeping a level playing field and making sure that all of these companies are basically following the same kind of rules. given the right regulatory environment, i think you'll find that the majority of the big oil majors are happy to go along, certainly my company shell. they have to do that. >> it also comes down to renewables. when you look at the market, it's not growing all that much. it has been pretty stagnant. what incentive are therefore those energy companies? is theincentive long-term outlook. undoubtedly, we will not stay with fossil fuels forever. basically, i think all of them see the need for a gradual transition between renewables
9:48 pm
and fossil fuels, with fossil fuels taking a lesser and lesser part. but also, i think we probably are going to see an increased use of nuclear and also technologies we have not even dreamt of yet, which will come in as well. >> can emerging markets adopt nuclear energy when there have been accidents in developed countries like japan? >> fundamentally, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with nuclear globally is really very small by comparison with the fossil fuel industries, but the answer is, yes. the new generation of nuclear reactors are likely to be much smaller than the traditional giant plans. -- plants. they will be based on small, marginal or reactors that can be
9:49 pm
factory produced in large numbers. and there are now what is called a failsafe design. if something goes wrong, they shut down automatically. as a is no such thing danger-free industrial operation of any kind, but these are pretty good. i think we will find that a combination of these reactors decreasingssively thes portion of fossil fuels, plus ways of storing energy. >> you talk about costs. pricing is essential. fossil feels are the cheapest -- fuels are the cheapest form of energy we can have. >> absolutely right. burning dirty coal is the cheapest way of generating power. this indeed is what has been
9:50 pm
happening in northwest china for a number of years. i think one of the obligations of the developed world is to help developing countries do this much more cleanly, and the group of technologies known together as carbon capital and storage can actually do this and allow you to burn fossil fuels without putting dangerous greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. is a step incing the right direction, but not a game changer. >> carbon pricing is fine, but only works if it is adopted globally. we are quite a long way from that, so it has to be done country by country. >> i just want to touch on brexit. >> yes? >> what implications are there for the u.k.? >> let me start by saying i was against brexit.
9:51 pm
i was surprised by the result and disappointed. we are where we are, and we now have to make the best of this. spendingof finance and theenewable energy and environment, certainly a lot of money we paid into the eu came back, and there is nothing to stop us in the future of pursuing the same and for mental objectives as vigorously as we were before. >> isn't it true that for the medium term that those objectives may not be met? >> not necessarily. not necessarily. it is fairly early days. we really haven't got an effective government at the moment. we are waiting for a new prime minister, a new government under that prime minister. we can't really say how things will turn out. >> we have to leave it there. back to you. angie: political murkiness out

10:12 pm
105.previously, we were looking at a depreciation in the yen but that was based on the expectation of the u.s. rate hikes, which at this point has been dampened by brexit. but we have not given up our hope that the fed may consider hiking again in september. that means that the market may have gone too far in pricing all the hikes for this year. yen is concerned that the pattern is consistent in the sense that it's been a sk andon of global ri expectations. angie: where do you forecast the young to go by the end of the year? betweenange is really 97 and 105. 101.t the cost around say, the risk in terms of currency fluctuation
10:13 pm
really also is on what the fed is going to do, except a lot of your colleagues are saying, with macro global pressures, that conversation is off the table. but you still think there's a likelihood in september. why? the main thing -- i think the main thing is we have been tracking the fed hike expectation for some time already. we believe the framework is really to return real interest rates back above where the be,-term inflation will between 2%-two .5%. unfortunately at the start of the year, we had the chinese yuan risk, and now there's a brexit risk. i think the brexit risk is much milder compared to what we saw at the start of the year. primarily, because most central banks know what to do. i think it will ease investor concerns.
10:14 pm
bond and tellhe you that the central banks are against anych fallout from thirds it -- brexit. but once -- just like the chinese risk, once the initial fears rollback, than the fed will start sounding less cautious. which is why this week, we have a number of presidents -- precedents. they have pulled back because of the shock. -- that we have 200 and 8 287 k non-fund payroll, we will see whether they will start becoming more confident about u.s., and less concerned about brexit, and start thinking about normalizing monetary policy again. angie: are we focusing on the wrong thing here, though?

10:17 pm
up the channel we are tracking. if we do not get a pullback from here, which means that the depreciation pace is likely to be much deeper than what we originally thought. i think longer-term is that the trend is clear for the dollar china to hit up. the are seeing at the end of every five-year plan, there's always a significant shift in , ins of the exchange rate 2005 with the impact, in 2010 with the resume, and last year in august. that sets the tone for the next two or three years. angie: it seems like investors buying it. we will leave it there. the senior currency economist from dbs group. headlinesthe latest are president obama has white americans protecting against police violence to -- warned americans against police
