"Corona virus is all hype, Trump has called it right, fake news. The meja just hypes everything. 50 odd confirmed here in the uk of which some have already recovered. Influenza have always originated in the east and swept west, nothing new here. Back in the day it was just flu, some years worse than others."

Yes, I'm sure China have just caused untold damage to their own and the world economy due to a "couple of cases of the flu", I'm also sure that the numerous other countries that have taken drastic steps are doing the same.

Let's face it, guys like us sitting in our offices or retired with our feet up in the living room DEFINITELY know more about the threat than the worlds leading scientists and Doctors.

Oh dear, oh dear.........

Trade news today centres around how Britain will use its new independent seat at the WTO and the UK and US future relationship. Meanwhile, EU negotiations have started, with fierce debate set to take place this week.With Britain now having its own independent seat at the table of the WTO, the UK will look to "turn the rise in protectionist measures around" as it carves out its place as a hub of global trade in the post-Brexit era. Britain is a historically global entity and will hope to cash in on its soft power, making trade deals plentiful with its new access to countries beyond Europe's walls. "We will make the case to update the WTO rulebook to tackle underlying trade tensions such as industrial subsidies, state-owned enterprises and forced technology transfer," Liz Truss is expected to say in a speech at the WTO today.UK-US special relationship on trade: Leaving the European Union gives the UK an opportunity to rectify tariffs placed on UK and US goods as a result of an EU-US steel dispute. International Trade secretary Liz Truss has said that tariffs on Scotch whisky from the UK and bourbon from the US should be removed to show "goodwill" ahead of US trade talks, with Liam Fox adding that the removal of tariffs "would be an immediate boost to the UK economy." This will come as welcome news for both customers and businesses who are both set to benefit.Danish boats to suffer the most if no deal is done on fishing: Danish boats that currently enjoy unfettered access to UK waters could struggle should a deal on fishing rights not be reached between the UK and the EU. Fridi Magnussen, owner of a 246ft long fishing trawler, has said "Sixty percent of our catches come from UK waters, so Brexit is a big issue for us," adding that the current arrangement is mutually beneficial. However it is estimated that UK boats land only 40% of the fish that are caught in UK waters.EU's failure to recognise its faults is its downfall: Douglas Carswell's article today for CapX explains how the EU's inability to reform, or even self-criticise, is ultimately the reason why its negotiating tactics continue to fail to convince Eurosceptics. He says "Rather than address our concerns, the Brussels side seemed to expend its efforts into brushing them aside," noting both Tony Blair and David Cameron attempted to warn the bloc of its failings. Carswell warns, ahead of negotiations, that a hostile approach to Brexit talks will not do Brussels any favours.EU competition policy could be getting a rethink: Europe's constant political intervention in its biggest companies is rapidly weakening it and results in an inability to compete with Chinese and US companies. Paris and Berlin repeatedly said that the EU's competition policy and regulation were standing in their way. Brussels will launch its industrial strategy on March 10th and this could spell a change in EU policy that favours making EU companies strong enough to challenge globally instead of being bogged down in regulation.Experts urge government to join DEPA: The Initiative for Free Trade has published a joint statement calling for the government to make Concerted Open Plurilateralism a central strategy for future trade. COP is effectively building deep trade agreements with a few like-minded partners, in such a way that others might join later. It also urges the UK government to join DEPA, a Digital Economic Partnership Agreement between New Zealand, Chile and Singapore. With the UK economy being largely services, it could prove very lucrative to join. Our Chairman Shanker Singham is amongst the 5 experts to sign the statement.On our site today: Writing for us today is David Collins, Professor of International Economic Law at City, University of London. He writes about how the UK-US free trade agreement represents an enthusiastic shared conviction to open markets and the elimination of unnecessary legal obstacles to trade. You can read the full article here. We also have an article from our Chairman Shanker Singham, that explores each area of the negotiation objectives published by the UK for a US trade deal.For the latest news and developments throughout the day, please do follow @GlobalVision_UK on Twitter.Thanks for reading, and enjoy the rest of your day.

Completely agree wrt Boris. He gets all the admiration whilst the decent and most deserving, like Grieve, get all the hate and disrespect. Society will never be healthy until it can be a better judge of human values.
