The leaders of many global business have been swift to react - | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
the technology firms among the first to speak out. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Google says it will take legal action to protect its employees. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
It's urging staff who could be caught up in the ban not | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
The head of Tesla, Elon Musk, says the ban isn't the best way | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
to address challenges the country is facing - | :01:34. | :01:35. | |

One of the problems is the confusion? Absolutely. If there is | :02:10. | :02:26. | |
confusion and fluidity in what is going on. Companies are finding that | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
if they had a senior executive, senior engineer outside the country | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
on business and all of a sudden he or she cannot come back for at least | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
90 days that is going to cause problems to businesses. Key members | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
of staff could be stuck, some could even be de change in airports. You | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
have the likes of Google saying we are going to take legal actions. | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
What should companies be doing? It is not what they should be doing it | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
is what they are doing. They are thinking about this and trying to | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
understand some broad language in the executive order which was not | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
vetted as carefully as it should have been. In the future they will | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
have to solve the problems affect their employees. These kinds of | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
actions by the US government need to be vetted properly and really made | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
to see the light of day with the technical experts that can make it | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
work well. Many as saying this was signed on Friday and has caused | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
complete chaos since then. Many would argue, who is around Mr Trump | :03:54. | :04:04. | |
to advise him. He is a businessman, you would assume that is something | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
in his mind? I do not assume anything. Talking to people and | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
understanding how the system works and making sure to take this | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
confusion out of the system and make it less fluid and more certain so | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
that businesses can plan and keep their people at work and safe. We | :04:27. | :04:37. | |
appreciate your time. A lot more appreciation on our website if | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
you're wanting to more information. Benoit Hamon will be | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
the French Socialist Party's candidate in the presidential | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
elections in April, after winning The state of the world's sixth | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
biggest economy is one of the main reasons he's got the chance | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
to replace Francois Hollande Benoit Hamon is a 49-year-old former | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
education minister whose key economic policies include a working | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
week of just 32 hours. Also a tax on robots | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
which would fund a basic income of about $800 - that's | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
750 euros per month - He comfortably beat former prime | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
minister, Manuel Valls. And now Mr Hamon will have | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
to convince the rest of France he can reduce the stubbornly | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
high unemployment rate Another big challenge | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
is the budget deficit. The latest figures showed that | :05:33. | :05:42. | |
in 2015 the government spent 3.5% more | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
than it brought in. That's beyond the EU | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
limit of 3 percent. And when the presidential election | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
happens in April Mr Hamon will be fighting off the pro-business former | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
Socialist economy minister Emmanuel The centre-right Republican's | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Francois Fillon who wants And the leader of the far-right | :06:01. | :06:02. | |

European single currency. Tomasz Michalski is an associate | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
professor of economics at HEC Nice to see you again. Give us your | :06:15. | :06:32. | |
take on the weekend news and what you think of Benoir Hamon. Thank you | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
for having me. Basically, yesterday parse mac election marks the closing | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
of the first phase of the presidential campaign. The rough | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
crystallising around major issues. The first, how far to go with market | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
reforms of the French economy. Francois Fillon Francois Fillon the | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
most radical pro- market profiler. And then to different candidates | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
saying to try something else - Benoir Hamon will try to do a hard | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
plastic left stimulus, for example increasing the minimum wage and | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
shorten the working week. A lot of measures that even... They are so | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
radical they have not been tried before. Marine Le Pen saying to | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
install tariffs and 80 from the euro and even if the European Union. -- | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
the euro. Ringing back the great old days of the 70s. The other line of | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
fracture is immigration and controlling restrictions. Marine Le | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
Pen the National Front is the most radical. Francois Fillon also | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
presented a tough stand on reforming immigration laws. He would like to | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
select immigrants those who would help France, some kind of a points | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
system. The other groups, Emmanuel Macron all the Benoir Hamon camp, or | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
read on the left wing of Benoir Hamon do not care about that issue | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
that much. The four different groups more or less seem to be equally | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
large fighting it off for the presidency. It will be a very | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
fascinating and interesting election and knowing that we also have a | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
second round. What are you think the outcome will be, I know it is hard | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
to say at this point? The most likely thing is we are going to | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
probably have a showdown between the populace and probably it will be | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
Emmanuel Macron facing on Marine Le Pen Marine Le Pen and winning. We | :09:08. | :09:18. | |
shall keep a close eye on it. In the markets, Delta airlines was a fact | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
that by grounding flights. International flights were not | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
affect it and they say it is managing to fix the problem. Not | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
much action for markets. Most closed for the Chinese New Year but we do | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
have Japan and Australia open and they are not faring well at all a | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
lot to do with the reaction of the band put in place by US President | :09:46. | :09:54. | |
Donald Trump. I will seize on. --I will see you soon. | :09:55. | :10:09. | |
The recent phenomenon of so-called fake news, | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
