Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are in the top 10 countries worldwide to be facing 'extremely high water stress' - meaning 80% or more of all available surface and groundwater in an average year being consumed. This reality presents a need and opportunity for growth within the region's water infrastructure.

In this podcast, our head of sectors and projects partner Andrew Newbery is in discussion with our Saudi-based projects partner Imran Mufti, as they explore:

• Why the MENA water sector is ripe with opportunities for growth and where presents the most prospects; • A brief history of the delivery of water infrastructure projects in the region and the popularity and innovation of desalination methods most frequently used; • How these projects are financed; and • What the future holds for water infrastructure projects in the region.

In our Language of Leadership podcast series, we explore the lessons business can take from sport when it comes to leadership. We have analysed the language used by elite individuals in sports and business, and developed six lessons for business leaders to take from sports leaders. In this series, we'll be discussing one lesson per episode with a leading figure in sport.

In the final episode of the series, we investigate 'viewing failure as a positive force', looking at how sports leaders view failure and success as complementary to each other and focus on intent, rather than just victory. Broadcaster, Ayo Akinwolere, and Charlie Unwin, a sports performance psychologist, are with Kate and Helen Richardson-Walsh, Commonwealth field hockey medallists with more than five hundred international caps between them.

In this podcast, our head of retail, Chris Hunt, talks to cosmetics company Lush's customer experience specialist Katie Nugent and Dr Tamira King, senior lecturer for strategic marketing and sales at Cranfield University, to discuss the future of the retail sector after the pandemic and how retailers can adapt to the trends that everyone's talking about.

Yet, when Condor – a German subsidiary of Thomas Cook – requested a reported €200m of financial assistance in that same week, the German government is reported to have provided a €320m bridging loan to Condor. What gives?

       In July 2018 the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published its near-final rules on extending the senior managers and certification regime (SMCR) to all firms regulated by the FCA.  With SMCR now on the horizon, both employers and employees within regulated firms will need to understand how it will affect them. Hosted by our financial services and employment experts, this podcast will discuss:  * clarifying how the SMCR applies to different tiers of firms;
  • the new categories of senior management functions;
  • the new requirements relating to statement of responsibilities, the responsibilities map, the certification regime, the conduct rules and the prescribed responsibilities;
  • the new training requirements; and
  • the transitional provisions.

We will also discuss employment-related issues in the context of the SMCR and aligning human resource processes with the SMCR. This includes reviewing and updating employment contracts and employee handbooks and incorporating fitness and propriety assessments into annual employee reviews.

In our recent report Protectionism 2.0: Digital forces driving the new protectionist agenda we highlighted how measures restricting data flows crucial to businesses pose as much a threat to international trade as cruder, traditional tools of trade protectionism.

There is widespread consensus that the World Trade Organisation ("WTO") needs modernisation in order to tackle the challenges presented to free trade by both traditional and digital protectionism. Such reform is being considered against a backdrop of concern as to the viability of the WTO dispute resolution process and the use of such practices as forced technology transfers. In the UK, the WTO is now attracting attention as a 'fall back' proposition, should there be a 'no deal' Brexit.

We aim to bring you up to speed with the latest developments in this area; we consider possible outcomes for the rules-based multi-lateral trading system and time table of reform; addressing in particular the proposals for WTO reform put forth by the EU and its allies on 26th November. In what seems at times a polarised world, we explore the likelihood of emergence of a consensus between players as diverse as China and the US.

To build on the findings from our whitepaper Protectionism 2.0: Digital forces driving the new protectionist agenda, our latest podcast sees Gowling WLG's Ursula Johnston and Sean Giles talk to national journalist Andrew Cave, a previous writer for the Daily Telegraph and Forbes magazine. The podcast explores the crucial customs and border issues that are likely to be caused by protectionist laws and barriers that govern the movement of data, as well as tech related goods and services.

The podcast will consider:

  • The practical and realistic implications of these laws and the protectionist approach
  • The issues that this will create where the accelerated race to develop smart tech is concerned

The entire product development process – from mining and manufacturing to product development – and the individual concerns that protectionism creates for these.
