Davos Elite Poised for 'America First' Trump Speech

Donald Trump is the first US President to address the World Economic Forum for 18 years.

Donald Trump is the first US President to address the World Economic Forum for 18 years. But how strong will his protectionist message be? David Rennie, bureau chief for The Economist in Washington, looks ahead to what Mr Trump might tell them.

Hollywood was abuzz this week as Oscar nominations were announced. In the first of five interviews, we talk to Frank Stiefel, who directed 'Heaven is a Traffic Jam on the 405'. The 40-minute short documentary is up for a prize in this category.

We also ask how much can businesses do to protect themselves from cyber-attacks and why Burger King has weighed into the debate in the US over net neutrality.

Roger Hearing is joined throughout the programme by journalist and author Diane Brady in New York and Anjani Trivedi, a columnist for Heard on the Street, The Wall Street Journal's financial market analysis and commentary column, in Hong Kong.
