comparison, the retreat seen in europe was in line with 2019. if you take a look at the chart, you can charter it yourself. trust me. it is striking. ecb president christine lagarde sat down earlier with francine lacqua for an exclusive interview on bloomberg television. eying the risks of inflation around the world, but maybe not so much in europe. lagarde says her focus is on ensuring economic growth. >> exiting at the moment from this exceptional instrument. the budget has been extended back in september -- december. we continue to rollout until march 20 or later if determined by the governing council because we would still be dealing with the pandemic crisis and its economic fallout. it is not as if it was set in stone. this is our estimate of when, hopefully, the pandemic will be finished and its economic consequences will be over, but again, we are guided by facts, by our assessment of the situation. francine: in terms of timeline, how much of a heads up will markets need to make sure you can exit some of the stimulus program safely? ms. l

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've 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. raw sewage was poured into rivers in england and wales by water companies more than 400,000 times last year according to the environment agency. storm overflow pipes are supposed to be used only in extreme w

they are concerned about a land war against nato in europe and they view these as an essential part of their war plans, and i think that it is hard to get the approval by congress for us to build low yield nuclear weapons here in the u.s. so it locks in their numerical advantage and does not include more modern weapons which they have developed and it fails to include the other major nuclear power, china. i am not absolutely sure what kind of deal we could have gotten, but we really did not even try. the trump administration did try and held out the prospect of changing the agreement rather than extending it or maybe just extending it a year and keeping the conversation going. i think this is a missed opportunity by the biden administration. tim: if i can keep you on arms control for another minute or two, you are a member of the senate committee on intelligence. you have written about how russia misused our treaty, how they were able to knees use that treaty to threaten national security. -- able to misuse that treaty to threaten national security. i am curious if you can talk about w

the death counts are as high as they've been, to say nothing of the stumbling progress in germany and europe, restrictions being put back in place in some of them, on and on. what is going on there and should we worry about it coming here? >> i think it is a cause of concern. we not only have to vaccinate americans and folks who live here, but ultimately if we're going to be opening up travel again and encouraging people to travel again abroad, then of course there's always a risk that folks would contract the disease and spread it here again. finish so the importance of testing, the importance of expanding screening especially at airports and this question even of vaccine passports may be in play. but ultimately, we need to get the world vaccinatedded as well, and the w.h.o., i think, is calling for all the western countries which, of course, have the preference and supply right now to be thinking about how we can tart to vaccinate -- start to vaccinate especially the developing world and large, dense countries like india so that we do not see a resurgence of covid here againment. neil: you

those arctic winds will push colder air in the outlook and down across the north sea and into europe, the air that comes our way does not look quite as cold and he could combine with areas of low pressure and keeping this rather unsettled weather going, but we are more likely to have a mixture of rain and sleet coming in from that cloud rather than snow. temperatures to gradually claim up just a little bit, but it is still on the cold side of this time of the year. tonight at six, a major report into race relations in the uk is dismissed as divisive and a whitewash. commissioned by the government in the wake of the black lives matter protests, the report found no evidence of institutional racism and said social class and family structure had a bigger impact than race. 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 come down to the fact that, particularly in education, and employment, and funnily enough in health, we've actually improved. because people from ethnic minority seems to be doing better than their w

in europe, brazil still a real mess? how does that factor into your outlook? robert: well, it is factored into our outlook. trade is largely driven by gdp growth, and our estimates incorporate different scenarios for vaccine rollout. you will see we have an upside scenario that would add another percentage point to our baseline scenario, which is 8% for 2020. -- for 2021. so we would draw up another 1% of things go badly, and the variance had a bigger impact on the global economy than we expect. guy: how much of the positive surprises you're getting at the moment are driven by what is happening in the united states? robert: a fairly sizable amount because of the large stimulus and aggressive monetary and fiscal policy we see in the united states. it has really helped with the global recovery. many countries around the world have also taken aggressive fiscal and monetary responses which, compared to the great financial crisis, that has helped mitigate the downside impact of the pandemic. alix: part of that is going to be

i would point at the differences in regulation between europe and the united states right now. it deliveroo in europe and the uk, they have moved to a model where there is some gradation between just being a freelance gig worker and a full-on employee you get some benefits but you're not held to the status as a full-on employee in the united states it's pretty binary i think as we come to more political action, as we come to more activism from workers, generally one thing we constantly hear from gig workers is, you know, maybe i don't want to work for uber but want benefits and stability i think we're going to see some of the hybrid model development as government and industry crash into each other and that will tell us a lot about whether these companies are, in fact, sustainable or they're just going to have to charge high enough prices so they don't make sense for consumers at all. >> i think we have our eye offs the ball here a bit. we're talking about amazon and bes mer, but walmart has been fighting unionization for years, decades, it's notorious for that and a question o

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 approximate 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 disarmement, right? and a new detante that would actually bring lasting peace. by the way, the iran contra exhibit is right here, just conveniently located. you might

we are seeing concerns in europe with the vaccine rollout. that may affect demand in the short term. but 18 months from now, the assumption is that demand comes back, opec releases somewhere around 5.5 million to 6 million barrels a day, and everything gets back into balance at the $55 a barrel range. guy: so that is the base case right now. i guess the logic to that is that if we do see a pickup in demand, there's still plenty of oil around. this talk of a super cycle, what do you make of it? brian: i don't buy a super cycle right now. you need to see demand come back . you mentioned the opec estimate. anywhere from 5.5 to 6.5 million barrels a day demand growth has been predicted this year, albeit at the lower end of that range. as that demand comes back in, i think opec has got about 7.5 million barrels a day off-line. that comes back into meet the demand piece, and you could see potentially 18 months from now a short-term underpinned, depending on what has happened with the various projects that have been curtailed certainly over the 2015

certainly in europe, more transmissible. that's leading to a whole host of responses there. what threat do you see from this variant here in the u.s. and what does this mean going forward? are we in your view in the midst of a fourth surge of this? >> we have potential to be in the midst of a fourth surge. so the challenge is that, as we've got people vaccinated, as we have warmer weather, we have loosening restrictions, opening things up, people are itching to get out there, and they are dead toy take off the masks and to resume normal life. and the problem is, until we get to herd immunity, there's real risk to resuming normal life. so we just have to have that little bit of patience, hang on that little bit longer, as we talked about before, 26-mile marathon, we're on mile 24. we have to hang in for the next couple miles. keep the masks on and keep the distancing until we get to herd immunity so we don't get the surge. right now we're neck and neck, at risk for outpacing the virus. >> that's the doctor's advice, hold on a bit longer. we're so close. the facts around us, y

what we saw in europe was in january those figures begin to fall. the restrictions brought in at the time the second wave bearing their fruit. the idea was then they'd be able to lift. in fact, we've seen not only that the figures have gotten worse. the new variant first identified in the uk now represents the majority of cases, not just here in france and germany and italy but in many parts of europe. it represents the vast majority of new cases. and that's two things. first of all, the contagion spreading faster. so there are more and more people getting infected at a faster rate. also the faces of the people entering icus have changed. they're younger. they have no co-morbidities. those are worrying trends. we're expecting to hear from the french president and what we expect is something closer to a partial national lockdown. partly because the icus, particularly in places here in greater paris, simply cannot cope. jim? >> sad to see there. melissa bell, thanks very much. >>> this just in to cnn. beginning may 1st, delta airlines will no longer l

phil lebeau has talked about how travel has come back in the country but what is missing is travel to europe. you really can't go. i do think that there's, that other countries are botching it, and when we see it, it's really painful, because they should have learned from our mistakes, it just seems like they haven't. the united states is vaccinated more than three million people a day. that's incredible. you can keep getting these memos, if you're from new jersey and new york, you keep getting emails from the states saying this week, it's this, and next week it is this, and next week, this is not glacial, this is revolutionary. and even should get something by the, if you didn't get vaccinated by the end of may, your state is net doing a good, is not doing a good job. >> i saw some photos of ohio, kids 16 and up in ohio getting their shots and the president said a few days ago 90% of the population will be eligible in about three weeks and it kind of leads us to the ongoing reopening story regarding corporate america at least wells fargo yesterday saying after september 6th, start thinking

see that expression of emotion but also the fact that there could be this 4th wave as we've seen in europe coming to the united states so there's a real push by public health officials to get people on board with the vaccines to wear their masks even as we see some states ignoring that advice and lifting their mask mandate so it is a challenge ok it is a challenge not out of the woods yet by any stretch the imagination can really help that they're keeping us up to date from washington d.c. thank you kimberly. ballistae with this we're joined now by nomi forester so sushi's of religious to cure university and joins us from there it's great to have you with. are within tools over the last year or so that children aren't significant risk of cool they don't get as elizabeth soon so on and so forth so why would you say this is significance to these child vaccines becoming available. you know that's a very good point the need that there are you know there is a lot of evidence that children get really sick with coronavirus or less evidence of it i would say that it doesn't happen it does happen v

europe is another matter. this does give iran breathing room, hopefully it will not be an excuse to continue with nuclear capabilities. that is not good for anybody. but there has to be a very clear and open stance on this. it's the worst kept secret in the world that israel has nukes and plenty of them and is willing to use them. at this point, if there is going to be denuclearization, if iran, china and the u.s. are going to operate, along with russia and europe, there has to be absolute clarity, and stop with this narrative that you are doing this and therefore i am responding. i would agree that china is stuck in this tit-for-tat response to the u.s.. i don't think that that is going to solve anything. there have to be some more creative thinking, and more thinking in terms of the international situation. much happening between these two powers is having an immense effect on the rest of the world, and preventing, in many cases, real progress being made on pressing issues today of climate change and covid.

available vaccine astra zeneca all while a 3rd way of the pandemic crashes over a europe now multiple countries are currently either completely halting or putting an age restriction on the use of astra zeneca as colvin 1000 vaccine after germany recorded 31 it cases over a rare blood clot in the brain 9 of which resulted in deaths now 18 countries mostly from the e.u. but there are some outside of the e.u. like thailand indonesia democratic republic of congo they have partially suspended the astra zeneca equipment 19 vaccine while possible side effects are investigated and what i mean by partially is that this vaccine is now no longer given to anyone on the age of 55 since younger patients are mostly at risk for blood clots and while countries like norway have extended a complete pause on the vaccine others like canada france germany sweden finland and other countries have imposed age restrictions meanwhile a few countries love kossovo iraq and india are accepting their risk and will continue distributing it to all age groups but then of course this is not the 1st time that astra zene

germany, europe, is counting on this. biontech produces millions of doses of vaccine a week here. they invited the bbc in to have a look. this is one of two bio reactors at the plant. they produce the crucial ingredient, mrna, the genetic code which tells the body how to fight the virus. on the one hand of course, we all sense this sort of pressure. i mean, we live in this environment as well as everybody else. there is of course this sense of purpose that everybody has, that we say, ok, what are we doing? it is very important. it was always important but now at this point in time it is amazing. it is painstaking work. the mixture must be purified, other ingredients added, then bottled and checked. they've only just started but they hope to produce a billion doses a year. who would have thought a year ago that this corner of germany would be churning out what's become one of the world's most valuable commodities. the speed at which scientists developed these vaccines has astounded us all. and it's an achievement undiminished by the subsequent political scramble to secure supplies.
