a bestselling author. i'm christopher coburn berlin good to have you with us even the queen seems to have had enough now queen elizabeth the second called for opposing factions in the u.k. to find quote common ground her statement is seen as a plea to end the bitter fighting over breakfast meanwhile the head of goldman sachs said if britain didn't manage a smooth exit from the european union the banking giant would scale down investment in the u.k. david solomon made the comments at the world economic forum mirroring this year's underlying sentiment in davos lot of concern but few real answers. in just a few hours time peace and quiet will return to davos the delegates who came here to seek solutions to the world's problems will be gone for another twelve months. as usual participants at this year's gathering tackled some big issues

conversations focused on trade conflicts climate change and of course the many unanswered questions about britain's departure from the e.u. ask you if you agree to anything but johnson coming back to be delayed others were less tight lipped and came up with and ologies to describe the prospect of britain leaving the e.u. without a deal it's like in a family husband and wife divorce without an agreement i have not known any such situation which ends happily so the only thing that should have been no is discard this option from the table and focus on building consensus on any of the other options on the table chancellor angela merkel also made a plea for more international cooperation some saw that as a message to u.s. president donald trump who stayed at home to the u.s. government shutdown there were some new faces this year the brazil's new president also narrow made his first appearance using the opportunity to try to attract

foreign investors many of the leaders who normally grab the headlines didn't attend the world economic forum this year but for most participants that didn't matter they came here to talk and to do business and those events don't tend to happen on the big stage but in the back rooms of the congress center or even here on the streets of this little swiss town. let's get more from the world economic forum with my colleagues general and then from there ben the gathering and davos is drawing to a close today do you think that leaders made progress when it comes to addressing the world's most pressing issues. it's really hard to say i mean the message they're getting out there is a positive message of working together and the world certainly needs that at a time of rising protectionism i spoke to former prime minister tony blair former

british prime minister tony blair and he told me that a second referendum is needed for brakes it in other words the brig's a conundrum could be with us even longer and when you talk about the trade war the other big topic here that could go on for decades at least the global effects of it according to the economist david autor whom i spoke to the australian five minister . a straight in finance minister in my spoke to coleman said that he's not all that bolted about the effects of the trade war because the strait there really is stuck in between china and the us but he seems to be in denial in my opinion i also spoke to a diff ochs martin from s.h.p. and what she said was that the slowdown because of this trade war partly because of this trade war in china is something that firms in europe that worried about them or worried about chinese innovation well that's all well and good then if you're a company and you have the option of relocating your supply chains elsewhere for

example but i think if you're a government and your biggest trading partner happens to be both the u.s. and china then of course you're going to have a problem europe of course your biggest waste is going to be a speedy resolution of the trade war especially as you don't know what the us is actually going to do that's the case for example with indonesia whose former trade minister i spoke to yesterday. not to know i want to stay with you there for a second this is your first time in davos what do you make of the fact that there's many of these leaders they come flying in private jets they get chauffeured around in heavy limousines in order to attend panels where they then talk about climate change what do you make of that. indeed well there is a bit of a disconnect there on the one hand it's like you have a lot of people saying climate change biggest challenge facing humanity and that recent report from the un that told us that we only have twelve years to act to avert disaster how much that's focused minds and really not some urgency to the debate on the other hand as you said people do fly it on private jets people are

ferried in large cars you have you have a faint smell of diesel on the being thorough fare here in davos and you have private drivers awaiting for their passengers of what with the engine running as they go inside to talk about to talk about changing the planet saving the planet so there is a bit of a yeah yeah like i said christophe a bit of a disconnect when you say that as well at the same time the world economic forum did make a big thing of the fact that there is fourteen percent less private jets use this year we're just saying but maybe that's because there's more jet sharing go in. this american economy you know the sharing economy is very very key here but i couldn't imagine all those executives pointing to share with each other. maybe maybe maybe their friends from before who knows right some major jets sharing going on there and that's good news i guess briefly gender equality and women's rights were two of the topics discussed there what did you take away from that.

well actually only about twenty two percent of the participants here at the world economic forum were women so yeah but i would like to point out that of course the big proponents of saving the multilateral order were women world leaders like chancellor angela merkel from germany and you zealand's prime minister hasn't to art and so that's got to mean something doesn't it i thought it was also interesting sales force president amy weaver said to me that women are going to be the ones driving globalization so it's an interesting fact to more and more countries are trying to get more women into the workforce these guys here have to really try a little harder to get more women involved to see that policy does change what will keep reminding them you know the job is you now do it on a bent his own reporting from davos thanks to both of you and your excellent reporting throughout the world economic forum's. ministers from seventy five countries including the united states and china have launched talks and drawing a blow by e-commerce rules the u.s. top trade officials to see

a month from announced the initiative in davos the move comes amid growing calls for closer international regulation of technology and follows an address on wednesday by german chancellor angela merkel who called on multilateral bodies such as the world trade organization to gain oversight of the digital world. now the world economic forum can bring together people with diverse backgrounds and missions one of them is connie culp a bestselling book author turned poker champion and she says if everyone played poker the world would be a much better place really she said that our reporter met up with her. i'm bout to meet maria conic of a best selling author turned poker champion and i want to know what a poker novice like me can learn from the game in business and in life i didn't you know he not only was not an booker it's never a career it's never had any desire to get a bill or to do it like that but i have became very interested in the nature of.

that's why maria conic of us started playing poker two years ago to do research for a new book but she quickly started winning high stakes tournaments and got so good that she even took a break in writing to this you hope a korea. think poker is one of the best tools for feel like decision making skills if you have to be so conscious of your emotional reactions because they're going to affect your decision making and they're going to make you make a perfect position to poker has actually. made me better able to let go to say you know i've played my best way i can play it let me focus on really controlling what i can try bluffing can also be very important in business you know when. you're if you don't have the other person as to when they're. down and out if you don't have any for me evidence of that although one of the ways to get your

car if to show his need to repost it is to just to it for and we come to believe that the world would be a much better place for that if it's going to make you a happier person with a better life. i could need a lesson in a lot of what you mentioned maybe i should. and i was there in davos the billionaire investor george soros had some strong words for the chinese president calling jeeping the quote most dangerous enemy of free societies speaking at an event at the world economic forum he said china's social credit system would give mr xi total control over his people beijing is currently developing a facial recognition system which says would enable the government to use algorithms to determine how big a threat an individual poses to the regime also said u.s. tech giants like facebook needed to be reined in for the sake of democracy.
