it was asian well just finally they used to call obviously the economies of southeast asia the geese economies following japan you'll remember that well the european union its average less than one percent g.d.p. growth since 2008 what do you think about lots of talk in europe spain italy particularly let alone portugal and others who may be looking to southeast asia and more specifically china now rather than to washington well i believe that since up in 2016 the world is in the turning point of history starting with the it because there's a lesson in philippines. the brics it and the victory of 12 followed in 2016 and in 2017 the same train continued with the it in general with that in the election in the united kingdom and also the victory of mccraw. and also only in new york in an election in germany and all of these clearly showed the defeat of so-called the establishment i think particularly on both sides of the atlantic. thank you. after the break as washington ratchets up the conflict from venezuela to iran and they pose human existence help humanity avoid catastrophic annihi

and southeast asia that could profit from that discussion.t countries like vietnam and cambodia, that could profit. maybe if you take political issues out, and thailand. paul: you constructive on chinese equities long return but my question is how long is the longer-term because some of the guests we speak to can see the trade war dragging on for years, if not decades. last octobere said there is an opportunity in china. iere up 26% year to date and am in the camp to say the trade war could drag on. i'm not saying for decades but it will not be a solution quickly. there is no need for the u.s. to do so and there is more positioning the u.s. and positioning toward china for the 21st century, so i can take some time. i think there could be some downside for china. china has more stimulus measures in the pocket. they can do that so if there is no solution of the weekend, there could be some downside over the next two or three months. if you would see a correction of 5% to 10%, it is rather than buying a opportunity in china. now this are seeing

that we've been reporting on over the last day or so when you look at some of the governments in southeast asia now it appears as though there's a bit of a backpedaling when it comes to democracy you've had elections but you don't have fully fledged democracies say in thailand and cambodia that's quite a interesting example maybe explain a little bit about how that infringes upon the human rights in those nations well human rights violations attacks on dissidents at backs and activists have always been there in many countries in southeast asia you have that in the philippines you've always had extrajudicial killings in the philippines there has always been attacks on political opponents in cambodia however and you're right in saying that there is an increase and it's it seems as if it's more. it's more apparent nowadays and governments seem to be unafraid to to be more flagrant in these at that acts and perhaps this is also because they know that nobody's going to take them to pass or they think nobody's going to take them and nobody's going to make them accountable for these violations i mean

not just southeast asia, but the first case study of the individual involved ahead to well beyond southeast asia. the point is, isis continues to carry out a global -- to represent a global enterprise. i think most scholars in the field would understand the physical defeat of the caliphate in iraq and syria does not change that reality. i think most scholars recognize that. it's important to bring that home to the public and to the broader policy community so that that is not lost, even amidst the successes we have enjoyed against isis. the last takeaway i would point to, and then i will stop, is the roadmap this provides for government and private sector engagement with telegram. as helen noted, there have been obviously attempts to work with the technology sector to address these challenges of terrorist use or extremist use of online platforms. but those have come with mixed success. some success with some companies has not translated across the -- translated into complete success across the industry. studies like this one will arm government officials with useful data and information the
