World Economic Forum Assesses Global Economy

The world's economic power brokers consider the health of the global economy in Davos.

The world's economic power brokers consider the health of the global economy in Davos. Our reporter there tells us what concerns are troubling delegates at the World Economic Forum. And our regular commentator, environmental activist and author George Monbiot expresses scepticism about what the gathering can achieve. Also in the programme, we hear why planemaker Airbus is concerned about the prospects of a so-called no deal Brexit, whilst Japan's Fujitsu is still confident about the UK's prospects, however Brexit turns out. Professor Paul Oyer of Stanford University tells us about economic principles he believes can be applied to the world of dating. Plus our reporter heads to the London Toy Fair to find out how the toy industry is already planning for this year's festive season.
