behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of central and eastern europe.

or the americas i should say were down 25 percent and down 12 percent in europe middle east africa now the politics that you refer to is coming into play here you're referring to an initiative by a republican appointee brendan carr who's an have c.c. commission to close a loophole as he sees it in the regulations that permitted carriers to potentially continue to buy huawei and c.t.e. equipment if they were using private funds and the effort here is to close that particular loophole i think what we're seeing frankly brant is f.c.c. commissioners jockeying for position at the moment on the f.c.c. to. see who has the biggest bite when it comes to china policy and now doing quotes as part of their business model they've also started to work on licensing patented technology in the 5 g. sector is that helping out their business as well when they're losing the actual sales of the equipment. yes it is and i expect to see more initiatives of that nature look i mean i think christie has pointed out well. while way is a very very strong company it's a very versatile company it's a very important

but in broader europe, the u.k. market, and australia, they are laggards in this quarter and should catch up with higher yields. and even higher tax rates in north america, and prime the aussie market, for what it is worth. shery: george boubouras, great to have you on from k2 asset management, and his take on market moves paid let's get to vonnie quinn and first word news. vonnie: the biden administration raises concerns about policy tools china's using to restart its economy. support for domestic industries is resulting in discrimination alleged against foreign companies. it could damage long-term u.s. interests. the u.s. says it is working with japan of the european union to address china subsidies. one of hong kong's top officers is warning residents against testing a so-called redline when it comes to chinese-imposed security laws. in an interview with bloomberg, the deputy commissioner defended arrests in the wake of the bill passing, saying the city faces pressing national security threats, and he talked abou

our vaccine rollout is a little faster than what was happening in europe. france saw a setback with what happened to the astrazeneca vaccine. is one thing that is concerning. you mentioned that cases are raising. uk variant is slated to become the dominant strain here. we have about 80% of americans need to be fully vaccinated. a lot of these cases are being driven by young unvaccinated individuals combined with the loosened restrictions. if we don't want to be in a situation where our hospitals will be overcrowded and people are talking about rolling back openings, we know what we need to do. >> that is where your masks, wash your hands, be safe and try to get to the end of this. we are close. we are close. we are close. we are not there yet. >> doc, thank you as always for your time. i appreciate it. >> i will want to games from tv from the fireplace as always. i will be thinking about it.

well, after seneca's, current virus vaccine and now has the backing of europe's medical watchdog for use in all age groups. it follows germany and other countries restricting the vaccine for younger people over reports of blood clots. getting the job in germany has hit another snag. overall vaccine supply. still short and now short of astra zeneca that are available can't get into the arms a certain age groups. there's concern over blood clots reported in a small number of people who got the shot. so the federal that's a nation committee chose to suspend use for groups under 60, with some exceptions, to react or not to vote. not at all, i have feel decision you can believe me, but need, couldn't act in the moment. but the european medicines agency disagrees according to the current scientific knowledge, there is no evidence that would support restricting the use of both spark, seen in any population. in its chief says, there's no proven causal link to the vaccine and cloning. and that the benefits of astra zeneca in the fight against kobe outweigh its risks. that's not enough to conv

. >> doctor, over the past year we've looked to europe to see what's coming next i look at france now and there's another lockdown you look at brazil, hospitalizations are so bad. it's possible that their entire health care system is going to be crushed do we face the possibility of this, or are we doing enough and acting correctly enough to where we won't have to face this >> the big difference is we are moving at a much faster pace of vaccinating. it's still not where i'd like it to be. we've got now about a third of -- getting towards a third of the u.s. population with a single dose of vaccines. the good news is that by the summer, i think we could get to a very high percentage, certainly more than half, maybe 75% of adults vaccinated, and that's going to really slow down transmission the problem is we're in a race with this b.1.1.7 variant, which is so aggressive, it's more transmissible, higher mortality rates, higher hospitalization rates, and we're also hearing anecdotally, we don't have the hard evidence yet, but it's looking that way that up in wisconsin, minnesota, we're st

and the great targets of europe. there was no counter weapon in europe against that. the nato nations had asked this country prior to my arrival for us to provide a counter weapon. and so it felt to me to begin the installation of them. the soviet union protested about our installing these weapons. i offered an alternative. i said look we are willing to not put those weapons in there if you would eliminate yours. let's have a zero zero agreement between us and those weapons. they walked away from the table. they wouldn't even discuss it. we went ahead and installed the weapons. and one day they came back and said that they would like to talk zero zero with us. and i think this was another piece of evidence that strength, you have to deal from strength. >> do you still think of the soviet union as a evil empire? >> i have to because of the many things that are being done there to their own people. not just to other countries where they sought to influence them, and make them communist allies. but in looking at their o

and i really think as we are thinking about that, it's notjust about europe, uk and us, we need to think globally, and there is some work being done on this, obviously, but this shouldn't, sort of fall to the bottom of the list. we need to make sure that everyone is able to access the vaccine, and it isn'tjust an parts of the world or certain classes of people that are able to a. ultimately everybody needs to get vaccinated, don't they? let's have a look at the daily mirror, because we have had some lovely weather, and people have been out and about after the slight relaxation of the lockdown rules. the repercussion, simon, is... they have to bend the litter louts. there _ they have to bend the litter louts. there is _ they have to bend the litter louts. there is or — they have to bend the litter louts. there is or a — they have to bend the litter louts. there is or a sue they have to bend the litter louts. there is ora sue niemi they have to bend the litter louts. there is or a sue niemi of rubbish. it's there is or a sue niemi of rubbish. it's very— there is or a sue niemi of rub

we begin with the latest evidence of how severe the third w has become for europe. franceave -- france has extended its lockdown for one more month. president macron says we will lose control if we do not move now. coronavirus cases have risen sharply in recent weeks in france with only 60,000 new infections reported in just the last 24 hours. intensive care units are in dangers of being swamped. here is the french president. >> i know how difficult the effort i am asking of you is. i know what the consequences are for our country and for our lives. and you also know that we have done everything possible to take these measures as late as possible and at the time when there was trickling necessary. these -- they are strictly necessary. i want to tell you tonight that thanks to the vaccination the end of the crisis is finally in sight. because at this hour, we are more than 8.5 million to have received a first injection of vaccine. 3 million received two. brent: thatbrent: was president emmanuel macron speaking earlier tonight. our corresp@@dents in paris has been fol

so let talk about europe this is pretty interesting it a big push. you're not just -- it's not you're going to germany. obviously, japan i shouldn't just limit it to europe why those markets? don't we think those markets are slow growing >> there is a massive need because of compliance requirements there, it'sold an ant antiquated systems i feel good for long term expansion in all markets the banks have exactly the same problems as the u.s. they need to be more efficient, more fin tech like and more customer friendly and we help with all of those. >> so let's go back and look at something that i think is fascinating. i'm trying to find the right met trick. i'm coming upon this one over and over again large customer growth. you want to get not these little deals, the ankle biters, i like that term you use but you want customer subscription revenue greater than $100,000. how are they doing >> so what we saw in the past year is that the smaller banks got morre disrupted by triple p and had to turn their attention to the government loan programs. the big

basically competing with socialized economies across europe. why would you want to do that? all you will do is encourage companies to move jobs back overseas. as you said when we lowered the tax rate there was a large number of inversions came back into the united states. what the biden administration is doing creating incentive to move people off our shores like they were before the trump presidency. elizabeth: how does this stack up with reagan, lbj, fdr? biden is spending more as a percent of gdp than fdr. is the better course to get people vaccinated and reopen the economy? >> of course it is. reality we have unspent money from previous covid relief bills and 1.9 trillion from the last covid relief bill. there is enormous amount of fiscal stimulus in the economy right now. it is antiquated democrat notion that you keep spending money and taxing the rich as a way to create jobs. think back to the last obama-biden stimulus, when they pushed the big stimulus with alleged shovel-ready projects t took us more than three years to get under 7% unemployment. it doesn't work. whe

that word comes as a wave of new infections is sweeping europe. the president of france emmanuel macron announced tonight that schools and child care centers there will be closed for three weeks. he also banned domestic travel for a month. jurors in the trial of derek chauvin heard new audio today of prosecutors showed surveillance and body camera footage of chauvin is charged with murder and manslaughter in floyd's killing last may. the video may be disturbing to some viewers. it showed officers struggling with floyd before chauvin pressed his neck down and floyd finally went limp. later from inside his cruiser, the officers heard defending his actions to an angry by-stander. >> that's one person's >> that's one person's opinion. we gotta control this guy cause he's a sizeable guy. and looks like he's probably on something. >> woodruff: also testifying today, the grocery store cashier, who had taken a fake $20 bill from floyd, prompting the call to police. as defense lawyers watched, prosecutors asked christopher martin about his reaction when he

there's a lot of skepticism we have heard from partners in europe and elsewhere around the globe about whether or not america really is back and they know the extent of aarpp puggle division and they know the possibility the america first policy could be back in four years.mp theyey note the fact that the united states and biden's agenda could be reversed in four years likege what occurred with many f the agreements that president obama had inserted so i'm wondering if you could tell us what is your perspective on the sendnd from your place in congrs and chairman what should the administration be doing and what can congress do to cure the unitedee states back to the extt that we can realistically that these alliances are valuable and worth investing in? >> there are no guarantees. you can't redact the future and you can't guarantee the future in any relationship that you engage in so allies want me to tell them we are never going back. i can't promise that. i don't know what the future is going k to hold but i can tell u for now for the next four years we have president biden and tony

in many museums around the world the been in bronze those are exceptional art and when they came to europe they highlighted a completely new image of africa as a continent steeped in history and culture they've been in bronze or of course part of the cultural history of nigeria and been in but they've also become global. nigerian authorities take a different view the new museum is planned there where the brands are to be displayed as the country's legal property. as. well. the bronzes are legacy of colonial conquest french historian benedicts of law is one of the most important voices when it comes to looted art her research has revealed that for decades museums have deliberately covered up the provenance of their collections and hindered investigations. it's obvious that museum directors tried to put off having to take action before they retired and simply passed the problem on to the next generation which has us now it's clear that we cannot and must not burden the next generation with this we have to act in the midst london there are still no definitive decisions but in general tendency

as of today, if a customer actually orders from europe, we can't actually get it to them, and in some instances we can't get it to them at all, and in other instances they get charged such a large amount of import duty that they're just not going to do that, we're going to lose that custom. sarah considered an eu base but said it was too expensive. it's unrealistic to, say, set up some kind of warehousing when you haven't got the finances or the manpower. we would have to employ new people — how are we going to employ new people when we just lost £300,000 worth business? remember, nearly half of all uk exports go to the eu. the government's promised new trade deals around the world. meanwhile, it's set up a £20 million brexit support fund and a network of 300 trade experts to help — acknowledgement perhaps that what was once easy and cheap, now isn't. simon jack, bbc news. the green party has launched its local election campaign, promising a �*green recovery�* from the pandemic. the party's co—leader jonathan bartley said people "desperately need hope" after an "incredibly

scandal involving astra zeneca and links to blood clots that saw suspensions of the vaccine across europe as well as in central america or in africa and in. asia as well it prompted an investigation by the european medicines agency and ultimately a big press conference by the director m.r. cook in which he said that the astra zeneca of oxy was fine for use a lot of countries where that prompted a lot of countries to repeal that suspension including germany longer merkel has said that the country is going back on the reversal of the suspension and the astra zeneca vaccine will now no longer be used for anyone under the age of 60 across germany. i completely understand being cautious but the problem of stopping the vaccination all the time is that we are already so far behind compared to the rest of the world and that is very disappointing because there are many restrictions and vaccines are the only thing we're trusting so we need to receive clear messages for citizens not to get confused. i feel that they're now really rushing ahead to fast if you look at the side effects they're very rar

apologizing to george for it for not having done more i have to say as someone who's talking to you from europe it does show me how scared people are of the police there i mean everything is easy in hindsight but i do think there's something about american police that is quite frightening to people is in we saw the bystanders they were all talking to their children they were using quite strong words they were filming but no one actually sort of went there and tried to pull him off do you think that that's a sign of how intimidating the united states police can be. well why don't we miss a day answered another way one witness who was the e.m.t. . she was the white woman who was off that day and she did try to you know see if she could render aid but what she said to answer your question is she said after everything was over and mr floyd had been taken away and dare show up in the police or connoisseur that is still there but milling around she said she stayed on the scene because there were a lot of black and brown people they are and she did not want the police to hurt them i mean that was hear

because of them, the political map of europe has been rewritten. what about the museum? well, if you go to the reagan museum, which i highly recommend, i think it's wonderful. i've been to many of them, i think the reagan museum is exceptional. when you go there, you come upon -- you get to a large foreign policy section, and once you get through it, there are these doors, as you can see here from my amateur photography, and as you look through it, this big sort of video playing of reagan and gorbachev and what they did to basically bring about an end to the cold war through peaceful negotiations, and there are exhibits all around the room that sort of talk about how did this end? why did the cold war end? and all of those exhibits emphasize reagan working with gorbachev. reagan talking with gorbachev. negotiating. doing what they could to try and develop the trust that would ultimately lead to disarmament, right, and a new detente that would actually bring lasting peace. by the way, the iran contra exhibit is right here, just conveniently located. where like you might m

in europe many families have been homeschooling for months after multiple lockdowns germany's health ministry welcomed the results but stressed further analysis was needed to see if the goal is to make vaccines available for children and adolescents as quickly as possible if that is possible but this requires a review this is now a 1st study that must be approved for occupational groups. but. the main problem with the e.u. sluggish vaccine rollout so far has been a lack of supply but if that can be solved young people could find themselves getting off food the jab sooner than they expected well i'm joined tonight by dr william schaffner professor of preventive medicine at vanderbilt school of medicine in nashville tennessee in the united states dr schaffner it's good to see you again so you've heard the news will the pfizer biotech vaccine will it provide the peace of mind that parents need if schools are to reopen on schedule in the fall. well right we hope it'll make a very nice contribution after all we still have to get these results for review by the food and drug administration

more than 1000 years ago europe witnesses a huge construction boom. with christianity firmly established there is a greater demand for houses of worship. and both religious and secular leaders are eager to display their power so churches become palaces. the race begins who can create the tallest biggest most beautiful structure. the stone masons builders and the markets compete with each other. in the carjackers. this is how massive churches with towers that pierce the clouds like skyscrapers are created the be contest of the cathedrals stars people 12th on t w. today joe biden became the 1st us president to issue a proclamation recognizing transgender people at the same time the pentagon on biden's orders reverse the trump administration's ban on transgender people from serving in the military this brings the u.s. in line with germany's military which now has its 1st transgender commander tonight on this international transgender day of visibility we introduce those among us who have been ignored and overlooked for much too long the people who have a

now, those arctic winds will push colder air in the outlook, down across the north sea and into europe. the air that comes our way, a longer range. doesn't look quite as cold and it could be combined with areas of low pressure, keeping this rather unsettled weather coming, but we're more likely to have a mixture of rain and sleet perhaps coming out of that cloud rather than snow. temperatures do gradually climb up just a little bit, but it's still certainly on the cold side for this time of the year. a major report into race in the uk is strongly criticised for being dismissive of racial inequality. set up after the black lives matter protests, the study was intended to examine racism, but also to highlight progress. we don't deny the existence of racism and the reality that it exists and it's there. but we want to really, in the report, really come down to the fact that, particularly in education, and employment, and funny enough, in health, we've actually improved. i look at positions that people hold. i don't see anyone that looks like me in those positions. we'll be asking whether

prove it in who are these party countries and if i countries are in your wrong right then outside the europe is canada and america england malawi and solomon marshall islands so $35.00 countries got together and make this an unsubstantiated accusations allegation so this is nothing to do with the human race in sri lanka also that so there are automatic so they're automatically wrong even your good friend india who you lobbied incessantly to vote against the resolution they abstained they were buying your denials either were they. but look at what the statement made by the indian permanent representative in the beginning they said this kind of country specific resolutions are wrong and then they said they abstain that is their policy that yes they are your kind are you how that will support you the real question from all this mr secretary is do you want to be taken seriously on the international stage or just dismissed as one more serial human rights abuse or protected by a small gang of other abusers we want to be taken very seriously in the international community and nor are the country or

if we see europe hat has the highest, then let's start with europe this say global problem that will require a global solution this is no other country except the united states that can lead here. >> you've seen russia and china both reached agreements with other countries to supply them with doses of the covid-19 v vaccines you talked a little bit about what this means for the united states as an opportunity to re-engage with the international community. elaborate on that. what would that do for the united states to step up alongside russia and china to make sure these chris have the vaccine? >> 21st century foreign policy will be built on countries that can tackle transportation and public health. rejoining the paris agreement is an important way that mern america stepping up. to do so in public health we have to take the lead on this plan do we want china constructing highways in brazil or do we want united states to build partner capabilities in brazil in exchange for vaccines there? instead of having extracted relationship between the chinese communist party and chris on our bor

scandal involving astra zeneca and links to blood clots that saw suspensions of the vaccine across europe as well as in central america in africa and in. asia well it prompted an investigation by the european medicines agency and ultimately a big press conference by the director m.r. cook in which he said that the us has only given was fine for use a lot of countries where that prompted a lot of countries to repeal that suspension including germany. has said that the country is going back on the reversal of the suspension and the astra zeneca vaccine will now no longer be used for anyone under the age of 60 across germany. i completely understand being cautious but the problem of stopping the vaccination all the time is that we are already so far behind compared to the rest of the world and that is very disappointing because there are many restrictions and vaccines are the only thing we trust so we need to receive clear messages for citizens not to get confused. i feel that they're now really rushing ahead too fast if you look at the side effects they're very rare if you read the informat

as of today, if a customer actually orders from europe, we can't actually get it to them, and in some instances we can't get it to them at all, and in other instances they get charged such a large amount of import duty that they're just not going to do that, we're going to lose that custom. sarah considered an eu base but said it was too expensive. it's unrealistic to, say, set up some kind of warehousing when you haven't got the finances or the manpower. we would have to employ new people. how are we going to employ new people when we just lost £300,000 worth business? £300,000 worth of business? remember, nearly half of all uk exports go to the eu. the government's promised new trade deals around the world. meanwhile, it set up a £20 million brexit support fund and a network of 300 trade experts to help — acknowledgement perhaps that what was once easy and cheap now isn't. simon jack, bbc news. raw sewage was poured into rivers in england and wales by water companies more than a00,000 times last year according to the environment agency. our environment and rural affairs corresp

there was no counter weapon in europe against that. the nato nations had asked this country prior to my arrival for us to provide a counter weapon. and so it fell to me to begin the installation of those. the soviet union protested about our installing these weapons. and i offered an alternative. i said, look, we're willing to not put those weapons in there if you will eliminate yours. let's have a zero/zero agreement between us in those weapons. well, they walked away from the table. they wouldn't even discuss it. we went ahead and installed the weapons. and one day they came back and said they'd like to talk zero/zero with us. and i think this was another evidence that you have to deal from strength. >> do you still think of the soviet union as an evil empire? >> i have to because of the many things that are being done there to their own people, not just to other countries where they have sought to influence them and make them communist allies. but in looking at their own people and denying people the right to practice religion in vi

a long way to recognize it your best right to develop its resources it is now incumbent upon you to europe to also recognize its responsibility not to cause significant harm and that is a legal issue and it's not so much about what's happening today. seen from cairo in khartoum as perspective you know 20 years from now they must have some sort of reassurances that whoever is in charge in ethiopia is not going to utilize those resources to negatively impact khartoum in cairo so they must have a say in how this is operationalizing the future. this is not merely a sovereignty issue i mean we have to balance those 2 considerations. and i believe a quartet mediation is the right approach for that but but william this is the problem with what we have all those key players step in the different political agendas playing out of bed they are concerned that if you have all those parties coming together the potential for any solution to the problem by tick ages because the simple issue here is you have a dam which has been blocked out of the blue not widely seen as an existential threat by the egypti
