The conference centre hosting the World Economic Forum in Davos has been evacuated, with authorities yet to give any indication of the cause.

Reports from the event said emergency services had rushed to the scene and that an unusual smell was in the air and was “making some people in our area cough”.

"They evacuated us all. We left all our things inside because there seems to be a fire in a hotel nearby," said Lilli Gruber, a reporter in Davos.

"There are helicopters flying overhead, it's full of firefighters."

Any relation to Hans Gruber?

Sparkle Beach Ken just may have also set some of those Davos luminaries' pants on fire. He's so dreamy, you know.

I see Newsom and Trudeau as two aging pageant queens who have to get along, but are jealous of each other.

Can’t be b.s. because they must be used to that in Davos.

Wonderful what Trump did today in DAVOS.
He gave NATO a huge dose of steroids stating that a new framework partnership would be signed with NATO - greatly strengthening it in the northern hemisphere of the planet - and valid for ever.

Gone is the idea of attacking GreenLand.
Gone is the idea of putting tariffs on France and 7 other EU nations.

I explained this before many times here on FR. Trump is just doing negotiations.
And it ends up making NATO the big winner of the whole thing!
Since NATO’s boss is the USA - USA won in Davos!

Again, Trump is the most Pro-NATO U.S. president since the end of WWII.

I’m celebrating with some good French wine at the moment. And good news, French wine will not get more expensive in America now.

Trump’s speech was a ‘barnburner”.

No, Davos is in the Graubunden in southeastern Switzerland not far from the Austrian border. It has a cute little lake, though.

Lake Geneva is in the extreme southwestern “knob” of Switzerland, surrounded by France.

(I once lived in Switzerland for a couple of years.)

I was playing along with the Deep Purple reference, and you had to come along and get all serious and stuff.
