sentiment. 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. . you're easy to see but it doesn't come directly 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 dale 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 the nose discard

this option from that they will 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 due to the u.s. government shutdown there were some new faces this year though brazil's new president j. airball scenario 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. well from the back room to the streets and the big states are hard working dynamic door correspondents see it all this

week so i asked. for their personal final thoughts before they head off to the next moves. pointless or painful there are two options on the table according to former british prime minister tony blair he told me the only way out of this brigs that mess is a second referendum but of course that would mean that this whole ordeal drags on and that at a time of a trade war which is raging on between the united states and china according to economist david autor we could see the global effects will feel the global effects of that for decades from now and we're already seeing a chinese slowdown we don't want that to speed up interestingly enough though according to s.a.p executive board member folks mothman a lot of sixty one percent of e.u. firms actually less worried about a slowdown in china and about chinese innovation indeed many are worried about to

the dominance of china of the chinese in terms of ai companies obviously from a competitive standpoint but citizens from a democratic standpoint the a moral application of algorithms for uses per for example of social control but we have to remember that algorithms themselves are immoral they don't see contacts they don't have life experience but we have learned here that we can teach datasets to be unbiased and that actually represents an opportunity to make the world a bit fairer well the world economic forum could be using algorithms to enjoy more female participation because there well i'm a minority here apparently only twenty two percent of participants at the world economic forum are women and one of the greatest quotes about i actually heard here ben was about there are no doubt glass ceilings only a thick layer of men so that's a very visual metaphor i'm going to hang on to that one picture myself barreling through i think linear of men but it gives me hope to know that the world leaders tasked with defending the multilateral order are women german chancellor angela

merkel and new zealand's prime minister has said i've done so and there are opportunities there there are definitely opportunities and not just opportunities for women but whole economies i was. to amy weaver the president of sales force and she said that women are going to be the driving force behind globalization except that i thought globalization was fizzling out well that's why they've all come here to find it's like they did so well from globalization on the other hand here in davos you have to get your mind operating on somewhat contradictory levels you have the biggest winners of globalization the world's most powerful talking here about how to reduce inequality or you have the biggest corporations who are responsible for some of the environmental destruction we've seen talking about climate change and at the same time they're flying in on their private jets they're being ferried around in their private cars with their drivers waiting outside with the engine running as they run inside to talk about to talk about saving the planet so there is there is a bit of a disconnect there at the same time the world economic forum says fourteen percent less private jet use this year what an achievement. but i was only fourteen

percent well i was thinking maybe you will these executives are getting into jet sharing well maybe they are you know there's the sharing economy is such an important thing but i just couldn't imagine that now the boys club in the air that that's how that works maybe not the girls maybe not the girls anyway whatever is happening here in davos world leaders and bosses are trying to get their message through let's see if they get it through if they get it through. follow those on the dollars from our correspondent. now. investor george soros has some strong words for the chinese president calling the most dangerous enemy of free societies speaking at an event on the sidelines of the world economic forum he said china social credit system will give she told control over his people beijing is currently developing

that what has changed what's changed your heart is that fewer and fewer business people believe that things like breaks it or the trade conflict between the united states and other places of the world will be temporary up until not very recently many people in germany's business world also here in the financial world said well in terms of breaks it those two sides will of course not risk hard breaks it in terms of trump they said well trump is a salesman he likes to talk loud but he will do not much turns out this is not the case breaks it really really to be a hard one and you know the government shutdown in the u.s. is showing that trump is really willing to push his agenda notwithstanding the risk that this might seriously hurt business this is what has you know made more and more people in the business world concerned and what really weighs on the outlook for our economy kyra looking at the company news today intel figures of
