let's go to karen ward for her take on this.his is such a blank box story that nobody's really got a clue. or are they some not interested because they don't have positions? guest: i would say they don't have positions because for such a long time, it's been such a black box. there's so many conversations about how we proceed from here. whether there is they vote taking place on specific days, whether that gets pushed out. if there's not a vote and we can't proceed with plan a, what this plan b look like? there's so many different scenarios. for most investors outside the u.k. that don't have to take a position in u.k. markets, they are just avoiding getting involved. guy: if your mandate requires you, or you are a sterling-based investor, and therefore you are more exposed, how do you hedge against this? what i'm increasingly hearing is buying inflationary bonds because if there is a no deal brexit, the plan goes to the floor, and the net reaction is inflation goes high. is there a way of insulating yourself if you are sterling

syria to what's happening to the syrian children we have not seen even one demonstration in the our ward or in the muslim world or in the western countries about the death of dozens of syrian children dying because of the weather if one syrian child died freezing to death it's a horrible death it's very painful but what it means that there is hundreds of millions of supposedly living hearts in the rest of the ward that are also frozen. well i think this is just another proof of the moral failure of the international community and in terms of the humanitarian efforts and what's actually more shocking is that how shocked they act every year when this happens this is happening every year and every year they come in and say oh look this is what's happening in syria what can we do well you can prepare you can you can you know you can live up to go to the. normal moral standards. for these people and for people everywhere that are suffering almost the shock to me is that everybody knows winter is coming everybody knows the shelters are not not appropriate enough for the living conditions and y
