last 24 hours, there are now two ceos and people that have been there at least a year, minson and sab aseanbe co-ceos. that is a permanent title. >> because co-ceos has always worked out well. >> the idea to get professionals in to clean up the company >> when your valuation has been kneecaped. you don't. softbank turned against adam neumann. masa, big idea guy >> likes to vest >> a kindred spirit and has been a champion of his. i wrote a story a couple of days ago, which was the cofounder of wework saying the one complaint masa had with adam is that he wasn't crazy enough. now he's saying he's too crazy >> people are always asking, why do you care so much for the wework story it is a private company, a real estate company the reason we care is that wework -- it has its own problems itself but $47 billion valuation, taken the red pen down to maybe 10 does wework tell us there is a bigger problem in the startup market maybe valuations are possibly too high across the board? this is a bigger story than just wework is the point. >> the biggest of the unicorn from slack and uber that have gone

from asean island getting worried about what will happen to them after breakfast most depend on an open tariff free border with the u.k. for their exports all of that hinges on the ongoing negotiations as a story. about the car now. it's called the irish national planning championships but in reality it's more a celebration of farming showing just how seriously they take it on the island of ireland the men driving the tractors have rock star status here. the sports heroes was the job the race people are irish national heroes they were 3 days a 3rd of a 1000000 visitors inspect the machinery in the livestock it's all in the blood. and given that arlen exports 90 percent of all the food it produces much of it to the u.k. the idea of the new border cutting the island into is a nightmare there's a real possibility of a coming from would not survive for her. and the potential maybe there's a lot of promises made some of them are scary ones critically be from above given the level of indebtedness that out. for you they find out what the british government wants to achieve at this point is vag

this is the rationale for europe, not peace but power, and in time, in south—east asia, asean, in southial relationship with the united states but its natural places with europe. for reasons of history, culture, commerce, values and of course, geography. it is quicker now to go by train to paris than newcastle. economic soft brexit have not changed. we exit our largest trading market and the largest trading market and the largest commercial market in the world in a manner no modern developed country has contemplated, let alone done before. exit is based ona let alone done before. exit is based on a great myth, that europe controls our laws. in fact, virtually any decision that affects the practical life of the british people is decided not in brussels but here in britain. the nhs, education, crime, taxes, welfare, pensions, defence. even on immigration other than freedom of movement within europe, britain decides british immigration policy. so, the brexiteers were driven to construct their case around the area where, as the settled policy of successive governments, we have indeed pulled

haven't they develop enough clout with enough of those claims this is a do with asean now, to basicallyblock any kind of consensus? >> thank you. i may have misspoke. i meant the military balance in the indo-pacific region, not within the first island chain. but the reason for that, i think right now in terms of our ability to escalate vertically, horizontally. i think we have advantages there that give the chinese pause. i think that also i think give themselves far more economic vulnerable to certain things we might do. although i must say i don't think the issue has been looked at carefully enough, especially when you start to look at global markets, global supply chains, what happens when you start to corrupt the global financial system and so on. they also have pause when you look at our equipment, our people, and experience in war fighting. it's a very impressive capability. so for those reasons i think the balance is generally favorable, my caveat was i'd really like to jim baker do some serious threat assessment over there at osd with access to all the classified information the

been declining by 9% year-to-date, china's exports to the rest of the world including e.u., africa, aseant, has been rising. so net-net so far this year, china was able to offset its losses to the u.s. by other markets. on the back of the recent policy in terms of moving manufacturing to the higher end of the spectrum, it is actually likely that china the next few years at least that exports would remain competitive. though we are going to face a relatively difficult rotation, given the higher tariffs imposed by the u.s.. in 30 seconds, what do you see the biggest challenge for china in the coming decade? >> in the coming decade, it would go back to the original biggest fundamentals, the aging population. china's working age population has already peaked in 2012, and has been declining every year since. it means there's no way for china to continue the old way of driving growth. you do not have enough people. on the other hand, if you look at the number of college graduates in china, it is now around 8 million every year. very soon china will also have the world's largest college-educated

growth striving for now is much more balanced across the portfolios and we had double digit growth in aseand double digit growth in latin america. pretty balanced this year. >> just quick question on amazon it is widely reported that you have been making amazon's mama bear diapers for years now is -- wouldn't that be a threat to your own brand and how do you view amazon and its sort of unique capacity to reach consumers and ramp up the growth for a company like yours that's depended for so many years on big box retail >> i won't comment on whether we make that diaper but we do make a select amount of private label for retailers and i would tell you private label is something we're well aware of and monitor closely. i think as a leading brand in the cbg space, what we have to focus on is building our brands and innovation to push the value for consumers. >> michael, thank you for joining us thank you. >> thank you. >>> still to come, jane wells gives us a close look at the fight between the beef and fake meat industries. jane >> reporter: hey, wilfred. this is the land of the crow indian res

and also like from that or the asean, southeast asia is actually much closer, or, you need to go there business. or there is no time zone difference, or much easier than what we are talking about here. i want to start with in, you know, my personal experience, because, you know, when we talk about latin america-china relationship we can't compare with malaysia, indonesia. it's like a completely different geographic location. and language. i have been telling my fellow panelists that i need to learn better spanish to really understand more, just from myself, my perspective. but given this facts, what we are seeing, you know, china, latin, one of the most important trading partners was mentioned and also from the financial perspective, china central bank, people's bank of china have swap agreement with a number of latin american countries. and more than that, now china markets is opening for foreign investors. we're members now in the sdl. a number of latin american central banks, they are actually investigative in the offshore market as well as the on shore china interbank bond market.
