In this special edition of The Agenda from the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Juliet Mann meets one of the world's most eminent politicians – Jose Manuel Barroso. Now the Chair of the vaccine Alliance GAVI, he is of course former Prime Minister of Portugal, and President of the European Commission from 2004-2014.

In a wide-ranging interview, he gives us his thoughts on the current state of the world, from growing trade protectionism to healthcare, the conflict in Ukraine to China's opening up post-COVID. And his message may be a difficult one to swallow for many of the world's current leaders.
