it will be a political process led by emmanuel macron and others. i am glad they named check him but he is one of the most gifted diplomats i have ever come across. if there's somebody who can stitch these pieces together and turn it into something that looks more like the speech yesterday, it is probably him. natassia: i want to bring her in briefly because there was a lot of talk about the soul of the eu in her speech, especially around trying to come together around some kind of common interest. let me give you the last word here. do you see there being a coalescence around this idea looking into the future? >> the european soul, we will know it when we see it. i think there is a lot of skepticism depending on where you sit in europe. out -- i was in estonia. they are skeptical about france guarding their interests. we even saw what the pandemic that the gates went up when it came with masks. italy was angry at france. do you think they will trust them if they have any sort of need for military intervention? this is one of the things that will di

she was asked if joe biden actually apologized to emmanuel macron. she of course did not answer that question directly, simply saying the acknowledgment was there could he been more talks, more discussions among the two allies, and that going forward, that will actually happen, and then there was a question about a little bit of variation in the wording of the french statement and the u.s. statement, that the two statements are almost exactly the same, but there's one line that stood out were basically the u.s. says that the situation cod have benefited from consultation among allies, whereas the statement says consultation among allies could have avoided the situation. then again, jen psaki not wanting to answer why there was that difference in wording between the two statements, simply saying, we are working closely. one thing that the french may not like about what jen psaki had to say is that she said multiple times that the president was now hopeful to get back to normal, return things to normal with their french counterparts. simply saying that

very often the approach to emmanuel macron. that is seen as forceful those are the arguments i think will make it obvious for french people with left wing heart that hidalgo is the best candidate to win the election >> it seems that one key challenges for hidalgo is can she appeal outside of paris? she is still relatively unknown figure outside of paris where she is mayor how can she appeal to a rural population and people not in paris and in the regions >> actually, she is quite well known. it makes sense she is associated with paris she is the mayor right now she started a few months ago to tour throughout france and to visit a lot of the different territories. the most important thing is she is very much supported by all those mayors throughout france those are the big cities where she is also very -- she has a lot of mayors from smaller cities and many socialist mayors that are leading a green and social majority and have experience from rural territories as well as bigger cities and they are really at the forefront of the

she is holding a working dinner with emmanuel macron. the two leaders last held one-on-one talks in berlin in june when they focused on european issues ahead of the eu summ. the joint conference in afghanistan did not get a single mention. this time will be different. with the taliban takeover topping the agenda. speaking over the weekend, angela merkel says she was determined not to give up on afghanistan amid accusations that the west had abandoned them to a brutal regime. >> for us, from a german perspective it is important to try to safeguard our achievements. education for girls. we know that will not be easy with the taliban. above all, bringing people that need protection to safety in germany. we feel this is a moral obligation. >> chancellor merkel is speaking there. let's take you to paris. we are standing right in front of the palace and the french capital. thank you very much for joining us. your covering the farewell visit of sorts. president macron is the fourth french president at the chancellor -- that the chancellor has w

so joe biden and emmanuel macron will speak on the phone this week. this was requested by joe biden, who is trying to relieve the tensions. france and germany have already been criticizing the decision to leave afghanistan too quickly, so clearly emmanuel macron does not want to leave it there. he also has an election in seven months, and in a way, this is also partly directed at his mastech audience, -- his domestic audience, he wants to show a strong hand with allies. manus: that certainly came through in my inbox over the weekend, it is more about emmanuel macron posturing. caroline, we will see you soon. let's get the first word news and monday morning set the agenda. angel? angel: u.k. energy companies seeking a massive government bailout as a surge in electricity prices threatens. there have been a third day of -- there will be a third day of emergency talks on monday. largest suppliers are seeking a rescue plan to help them handle the cost of taking on customers. china's top regulators defended their multisector market crackdown to wall street

is up to emmanuel macron to pick up the phone. many have said it would be better for joe biden to warn emmanuel macron that the u.s. was going to take the deal away from france. then there is the united kingdom, which has joined forces with the other two, and cost a lot of irritation in france and catty comments from the french defense minister, who has said we are not going to withdraw the ambassador from france from the u.k. because the u.k. is being its usual self, which is to say, not sincere, even though boris johnson has been making comments today to try to bridge the gap and saying france is still -- the u.k. is still a valuable popular -- very valuable ally of france. anchor: again, when the ambassador is speaking, we will take you live. in the u.s., migrants are being flown out of the country, 3000 so far sent back by air since friday. the migrants are mostly from haiti, fleeing gang violence and national disasters. we know what has been going on in haiti, for many years. these migrants set up camp under an international

it angered emmanuel macron so much that he pulled his ambassadors. joe biden and emmanuel macron have had a phone call and they have issued a joint statement aimed at easing the tension. they agreed the french ambassador will return to washington next week and the presidents say they will meet in person at the end of next mth. while they ease tensions, this was boris johnson speaking today in washington. >> it is time for our dearest friends to give me a break. it is a great step forward for global security. it is three like-minded allies standing shoulder to shoulder creating a new partnership for the sharing of technology. >> let's cross over to our north america correspondent. we have had a meeting between france and the u.s.. talk us through. is the relationship now improved? >> they have edged a little closer. bear in mind, this was described by the french as a stab in the back, this deal for the nuclear powered submarines that the americans and the british did with the australians. they lose out $40 billion for the diesel powered submarines the

macron saying, oh, we acknowledge that this whole process could have maybe been handled better if we had shared more information with you, how do those two things reconcile. well, those two things can be true, so i think borisjohnson and joe biden, the us and the uk were both surprised at how the french took it, they were surprised at the sort of level of outrage, but what also emerged during the talks, i understand, is that they both kind of said, wasn't scott morrison, wasn't he, like, meant to tell them? he told us he was going to tell the french. but they all agreed well, hang on a minute, france is an important ally, so we did not think they were going to be that cross! but we do need to try and kind of sort this out, because no one wants to fall out, so, lo and behold, ok, the french ambassador goes back to washington, biden makes it up to macron, so i think there was a kind of, oh, well, was the announcement of this really what it should be? but also, it has been suggested in my earshot, that some of the french outrage may have been to jack up the level of compensation that th

natasha: the french president emmanuel macron greeted angela merkel as she prepares to step down but chose not to mention the diplomatic crisis that has shaken his government, leaving that to his foreign minister. >> as we say in france, it's really a stab in the back. we created a relationship of trust with australia and that trust has been broken. natasha: australia pulled out of as submarine deal with paris after signing a new defense pact with u.s. and u.k., countering china's influence in the endo pacific region. the white house says it discussed the pact with paris before it was announced but french authorities contest that. >> this unilateral, brutal, unpredictable decision reminds me of what mr. trump used to do. natasha: biden's decision to exclude key allies is likely to further strain transatlantic elation's -- relations. it may grow bolstering sentiment in the eu that the u.s. is an unreliable partner, and the bloc must become more a thomas. >> today, the eu -- more autonomous. >> today, the eu wants to play a role in that region, and france is clearly a thriving actor in

it was at the behest of the united states, and we understand emmanuel macron was not in a big hurry to take the phone call from joe biden, but we now have a readout of what was discussed in the last few hours. it is clear there was an effort by joe biden to repair some of the damage was done in terms of that secret negotiation, and the announcement there would be a selling of nuclear technology and nuclear powered submarines to australia that will come from the united states, the united kingdom, and really, ditch the agreement france had to power or supply diesel powered submarines to australia. given the fact that this is an expensive deal, you can understand why he was frustrated. what really was discussed is how they move forward from here. we know from the readout that the u.s. president reassured emmanuel macron that the united states is a reliable partner and conveyed there would be ongoing communications in the future with regard to security. the readout also underscores that the united states sees french and european allies as being important when it comes to security in the in

this after emmanuel macron announced in june he would reduce military presence in the region. the french defense minister has hit back angrily declaring france is not walking away from commitments. >> we have 5000 soldiers still deployed. we will withdraw from three positions but we intend to leave several thousand soldiers on the ground. we have state-of-the-art armored vehicles to deploy so we clearly do not intend to leave. >> the u.n. speech on saturday came after the death of a french soldier in mali. meanwhile, he is close to hiring mercenaries from russia. also, susser partnership would be incompatible with western support. the prime minister chose not to elaborate on the subject. >> i don't know of any group. the day the government signs an agreement, we will make blic. i will only respond to questions at that point and not before. >> france plans to half the number of french troops from 5000 to 2500 by 2023. >> it is the biggest sex abuse scandal in the history of the u.n. an investigation has exposed more than 80 alleged cases of sex abuse in the dr congo, many by st

the question, is it emmanuel macron who will be doing this? he probably could become the main trigger in the european union. in the years to come. he has elections coming up next year. we will see if he wins those elections. with regard to nato, we got in the crosshairs of donald trump. we i mean the germans, not meeting the 2% spending of gdp on defense. we are currently around 1.5%. we got criticized for that time and again. will that change in the future? that depends on the outcome of the election. if we see more shift to the left with the social democrats flanked by the greens, it's probably not that likely. schultz made it clear he wants to do a lot for the german army. it's unclear at this point. host: we have just about 15 minutes left. we are taking your questions about the elections in germany. we would like to hear your thoughts on the legacy of angela merkel. she is stepping down as chancellor. eastern and central time zones, (202) 748-8000. central -- mountain and pacific (202) 748-8001 (202) 748-8001,. one tweet from town square.

those were the words of president emmanuel macron to describe the pulsing -- passing of jean-paul belmondo. he was more than an actor. i think it's fair to say across the country, people knew bell mondo -- belmondo and many people love him. he rose to fame in the late 1950's thanks to art-house cinema, in movies from fgoddard and others in the new wave. he went more commercial and got criticism, he did not care for the criticism. he took part in comedies and action movies that were always huge hits at the box office. what was important for him was to produce quality movies but also movies that is public, his fans enjoyed. here at the american film festival, the world of cinema was extremely sad when the news of his death came. we also spoke to members of the public and ask them what jean-paul belmondo represented for him, and why they liked him so much. >> i feel sad because i liked him very much. both as an actor and as a person in his interviews. i know he was never quite the same after his stroke. it is sad, we have lost a great one yet again. >> he was just an absolutely great actor, e

emmanuel macron will have a call with president biden today. what does biden have to do to help fix this -- basically, this fight they're in. emmanuel macron is facing his own election in a year, and there is the threat from the far right in france. and he needs to do something to save face quickly. how can biden help that? >> i think biden should invite him to a high-profile summit at the white house to paper over tensions. but this is also a canary in the coal mine for a larger strategic problem that the rest of the world has. there were four years where frankly, a lot of our allies thought that we were a menace. they thought that we were a danger to their own security. so they're happy about what biden is saying, but they're going to be very, very curious to see what biden actually does. i think that's where the next several years of biden's presidency are going to be about preparing those alliances. and it's also worth pointing out that this is not the world that biden left when he left the white house under obama's protest. the world has c

. >> a viable future, that is the message emmanuel macron had for young people as he unveiled measures aimed at drawing staff into hospitality by exempting tips from tax. >> you can pay the tip and the restaurants with your bank card, because we saw at the end of the crisis, our competitor it's used cash less and less. these tips are free of charges from employers and free of taxes for the employees who receive them, this will add the purchasing power. reporter: restaurants, bars, hotels all suffered badly the last year and a half of the coronavirus pandemic. given the simultaneous explosion in contactless payment, the french state wants to take advantage to attract staff to a sector that has recently synchronic shortages. to date, tips and cash are meant to be declared to cash -- declared to authorities, which doesn't happen often. however, no matter how much easier this might make things for customers, employees have their doubts. >> i would say the waiter has less control over the tips by card because it has to be redistributed later. >> there is a fear of not having tips at the end

but emmanuel macron wanted to have it too. the phone call was at joe biden's invitation, and it's clear from what the white house said about the call, what a joint -- the joint statement that the two countries put out afterwards said that biden was contrite. white house press secretary jen psaki would not say specifically that he apologized, but that he did express regret for the way this was handled and that in the words of the joint statement, greater consultation might have helped. i think that's an understatement. >> yeah. okay. anne gearan, thank you for giving us what was on the record there. appreciate it. >>> so, how president trump acted during the attack on the capitol has been pretty much hearsay to this point, but the country may soon get the facts right from the white house records. trump will try to stop the release, but can he? p will tryoe release, but can he? i don't je brainy on tv - i'm an actual neuroscientist. and i love the science behind neuriva plus. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva plus fuel
