President Trump arrives in Davos to hammer home his message on trade to the world.

President Trump arrives in Davos to hammer home his message on trade to the world. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's business editor Simon Jack tells us what the mood is like at the World Economic Forum as the president arrives. And we talk to Canada's Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development about the ongoing renegotiation of the North America Free Trade Agreement. Also in the programme, we find out how credit company Mastercard is bolstering its defences against cyber-attacks, from its general counsel, Tim Murphy. Our regular US economic commentator, Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute, considers the likelihood that a deal on immigration in the US can be struck to stave off a government shutdown at the next deadline early in February. Drinks giant Diageo's chief executive Ivan Menezes responds to suggestions the firm might be trying to change rules on how Scotch whisky is made. Plus our reporter in Nairobi, Kenya, explains why there are concerns that the city may have too many new shopping malls.
