it is something we at oxford business group are hearing about the emerging market.ainly the emerging there. some of those like africa are seeing higher than average growth, but 3.1% is the imf's average growth, but 3.1% is the imf‘s prediction for 2018. it is a steady growth. on some levels, steady is better because it means less chance of a big drop. that is what we are trying to get to. more broadly, though, there is a concern as well i fear that there is a short term uptake and tax cuts in the us big news, and quantitative easing in the european union, there has been easy growth and easy monetary policy going on. that is a concern because once that tapers off, what impact will the tab on the global economy? i'm not as across the middle east and saudi arabia and i know that is your area of speciality, oil is up, that does bode well for saudi arabia and russia ? that does bode well for saudi arabia and russia? but also i'm wondering about the shale producers in the us. they will step up a gear now that oil is climbing in value. we have that increasingly common new

welcome back to worlds apart with the work where i think peace advocate and founder of oxford research group dr a worthy let me ask you about one more woman who inspired millions of people around the world i'm talking about. myanmar's civilian leader she used to be and i kind of for peaceful resistance when she was a poor opposing military who went to bed she's now presented particular and western media almost as a ruthless villain has your own view of her changed my empathy for her has not changed when you think what that woman went through she was challenge by the then bernie's government that if she wants. had to leave the country to be with her family she could do so not come back she chose her country that meant that when her husband was dying of cancer she couldn't be with him it meant that she couldn't bring up her two sons so she missed a childhood completely. and she spent fifteen years in confinement in her own home with only her piano and this woman. must have been very deeply scarred by those experiences and also by the courage that she had to show to lead this revolution s

i've spoken to one tory brexiteer who went to a grander oxford college, and is wary of olly robbins.ni. brexiteers were delighted when it emerged that at oxford, the young olly robbins had written that the soviet union wasn't all bad. i understand that david davis, the actual brexit secretary, who has something of a prickly relationship with olly robbins, has a habit of opening meetings with him by welcoming colleagues to the olly robbins people's soviet. everyone reportedly has a chuckle. but some leave ministers are suspicious of him, and regard him as a classic civil servant who sees brexit is a crisis to be managed rather than an opportunity to be seized. iwas, as you know, a member of the thatcher government. we came in and introduced a radical change in economic policy. and all the officials were aghast. they thought it would be a disaster. but at that time we had a strong cabinet, led by an outstanding prime minister, and they accepted the leadership, the political leadership, as is their constitutional duty. if a soft brexit is being negotiated, it must be the will of the pri

many researchers at oxford university agree the members of the future of humanity institute want to be prepared in the event that machines take over. the institute was founded by oxford professor nick bostrom but he doesn't see the prospect of super intelligent machines as something to be afraid of. this looks like a few simple technology we're moving towards it but it might still be quite far off but difficult to new down this track i think we will eventually retain this kind of capability the invention of machines super intelligence is the last inventions humans will have a new tonight principle we could resign them in such a way that there will actually be on our side and help human values flourish but it's possible that we get a draw. it's hard to get a big new technology right on the first attempt and this might be one of those where we only ever get one of them a super intelligent machine would know no pity it would simply get rid of us if need be when bostrom and his team want to prevent that. you know you were to be careful what you wish for and the smarter they are the better
