he joins me on set at davos. welcome. >> thank you very much >> there's been a lot of commentary here coming on the back of those comments from secretary steve mnuchin about what a weaker dollar would mean for the european economy it does appear that the economy in europe is a sweet spot. we're talking about low inflation, interest rates, yet there are some pockets of concern, whether that's in unemployment or low productivity what's your sense about how much long their can go on >> i totally agree we are in a sweet spot generally speaking. and then the situation is different from country to country. in my country we expect to bring employment to an all-time high record this year very low unemployment. we have regained growth. but in some -- basically perhaps southern european countries you see problems linked to youth employment that's why i always advocate labor market reforms the model of security. i know the new french president has been inspired from the scandinavian model security for the labor force and fl

finally, move over davos men, davos woman is now running the show. the co-chairs of the world economic form were all women. >> even without testosterone we can produce positive constructive energy. >> but is there parody of the session? i'll give you facts and figures. >> first, here is my take, ever since donald trump was elected president, i've said when he did something right, i'd say so. that's gotten me into trouble with some viewers but i'm going to do it again. on friday at the world economic forum, trump gave a good spooee that was forthright embracing the world rather than condemning. if the speech represents a new approach for the president, it will be a huge step forward but of course, the problem with trump is by tomorrow morning he might veer off in an entirely different direction. the trump presidency so far is composed of three parts, trump one is the circus. the tweets, the out land accompliclaims and trump three is the assaults on minorities, the press, the judiciary and other institutions. trump three is the conventional republican
