way which evidently is in direct conflict with mccrone interim spew the check out what the e.u. and russia had to say about it and what can happen in the future will seen the future but there is one deal existing it's working it needs to be preserved we are against the revision of these agreements and believe it's very counterproductive to de rail the longstanding international efforts will make sure that these agreements and shrines in the u.n. security council resolution weren't be violated trump has until may twelfth to decide what he's going to do but now that there seems to be some division amongst the members of the e.u. it's impossible to predict what exactly will happen. for how this all looks for tehran political analyst say that mostafa course told us that although france and america might be aligning on the iran deal the rest of europe does not want to go along. the trio nations in europe especially friends even more than germany and britain is trying to get closer to donald trump's aspirations and demands especially with regard to iran's nuclear issue but the worst o

mccrone oh medical who's leading europe that's a question on quadriga this week and to discuss that question i'm joined here in the studio by matthew carney chief europe correspondent for politico matthew argues that mccall wants to leave europe but calm while medical could leave europe but what. also with us is his person all think i'm the journalist for the french magazine the plan when she argues that i'm going to medical used to be cold the queen of europe now in money well my call seems to be the new king and the woman who tunes or coasting family who's based here in government were hoping for the suit dodge inside to who she says is in germany's interest to support friends not just in its efforts to reform europe but also in transatlantic relations thank you all three for the here with me today here in hungary to muster up let's begin with you just say given you know i've just pointed out that your quotes of the top of the show says that emanuel mccrone wants to lead but calm i think we don't that quote from you before this address that he gave to congress if you changed your mind sinc

joined here in the studio by matthew carney chief europe correspondent for politico matthew argues that mccrone wants to leave europe but calm while medical could leave europe but we're. also with us is puzzle person journalist for the french magazine the plan and she argues that i'm going to medical used to be cold the queen of europe now in monaco mccall seems to be the new king kind of woman to the coast in galilee who's based here in berlin reporting for those who dodged such a lot she senses in germany's interest to support friends not just in its efforts to reform europe but also in transatlantic reach thank you all three for to be here with me today here on whether you know much about let's begin with you just skipping you know i've just pointed out that your quotes at the top of the show says that emanuel mccrone wants to lead but calm yeah i think we did not quote from you before this address that he gave to congress if you changed your mind since you had the address no no no i haven't i think the problem that he has is that france is just not strong enough alone to take a leadership r

again mccrone did clarify that the necessity of the agreement outweighs washington's concerns and he urged other countries to stick with the deal until there is a better one now for some context trump issued an ultimatum ultimatum in january that the u.s. would unilaterally leave the deal if the signatories did not agree to more to a more comprehensive deal that specifically targets iran's ballistic missiles and it is speech micron called for monitoring iran's ballistic activity which is not part of the g c p a way but it's also important to note that the i.a.e.a. the international atomic energy agency has verified that iran is in full compliance with the agreement just as recently as march and b. iran's a ballistic missiles are not capable of carrying nuclear warheads according to their foreign minister now trump argues the opposite but mccrone and trump reaching consensus on the j.c. p.o. way was something that other signatories failed to predict especially considering that five hundred french british and german m.p.'s wrote a letter to u.s. congress asking them to support the deal

just given you know i've just pointed out that your quotes at the top of the show says that emanuel mccrone wants to lead but calm yeah i think we don't that quote from you before this address that he gave to congress if you changed your mind since you heard the address no no no i haven't i think the problem that he has is that france is just not strong enough alone to take a leadership role in europe to take the kind of steps in europe that he really wants to pursue i mean he has the image he has the energy certainly but without a strong endorsement from germany it's going to be impossible for him to take things forward and i think this is the real frustration in france now that they're not getting enough support in paris from the germans and it's really not clear whether that's going to change and at the moment it looks like you know the time is just running out in on these really crucial issues involving the eurozone reforms and the steps that they want to take to integrate the eurozone more and to make it a crisis proof as they say every step is so controversial in germany that it's ver

supporting policies that in fact do do that when we look at the a randy we had mccrone in washington merkel is going to show up i mean they're advocating that they keep the treaty alive and you know in this this is really interest to the alliance i mean i would like to see nato completely dissolved and have a completely new security arrangement in europe i think that's what donald trump actually was thinking about during the campaign so i mean what the outside world must be look at i know they are looking at him in bewilderment because where is he going to go next i mean the the attack on syria recently that was against international law the whole world looks at it that way not the foreign policy blob in washington they probably never heard of international law go ahead michael. i think that. the u.s. presidency for some time maybe thirty forty years has been captured by. the sort of set relationships that have spent have and in many ways the dependent countries of nato even the great powers like france germany and britain are centrally pulling the strings and i think part of trump's

but the national rail network is heavily in debt and president emanuel mccrone wants to roll back some of those privileges macross already made some reforms but says he's ready to push through more for him shaking up the railways is a political battle he has to win. the suffering because of the strike they're working days or longer and some companies could even go bust because of it we need to sort this out i want to make it quite clear we will push through the reforms because we have to have change. and. many say strikes like that are a thing of the past. when strikers find themselves in a minority that can make them more radical but public opinion quickly turns against them then they can maintain the strike and have to give up that could give macro on the opportunity to push through his reforms without unions agreeing. your. from. something the rail workers are determined to prevent from

and again mccrone did clarify that then the sesame of the agreement outweighs washington's concerns and he urged other signatories to stick with the deal until there's a better one but mccrone interim breaching consensus came as somewhat of a surprise to the other signatories especially considering that five hundred french british and german m.p.'s wrote a letter to u.s. congress asking them to support the deal saying that the concerns should be addressed separately and not within the context of the j.c. p.o. way which evidently is in direct conflict with the crown and trump sphere so the check out what the e.u. and russia had to say about it and what can happen in the future will seen the future but there is one deal existing it's working it needs to be preserved we are against the revision of these agreements and believe it's very counterproductive to de rail the longstanding international efforts will make sure that these agreements and shrines in the u.n. security council resolution weren't be violated trump has until may twelfth to decide what he's going to do but now that there se

president who otherwise is under so much fire around the world mccrone has said that he had success and in convincing donald trump not to pull a u.s. presence out of syria the white house pushed back against that a little bit but nevertheless if that is the case do you think that will have any success convincing trump that in spite of the rhetoric he's had that he should stick with the iran nuclear deal. i think it depends what president mccrone has to offer i think the importance of their meeting both tonight the private dinner that they're having at mount vernon which is a true honor that very few presidents have both stowed on foreign leaders as well as the one on one meeting that president mccrone will have with trump tomorrow these are important opportunities for president mccollum to present his case to show what the negotiators have done in clear terms of why this is important for for france in terms of its national security and why it benefits the united states i think it will depend very much on the case that mccollum presents to trump i'm not sure that trump has made a final d

president donald trump on the heels of french president emanuel mccrone visit to the u.s. but the photo ops with party hugs and weirdly long handshakes that marked the mccrone visit were absent from today's diplomatic scenery in contrast to more crones lengthy itinerary ms merkel and mr trump only held a three hour meeting that the german delegation called a quote unquote working session agenda items included trade most pacifically the recent round of u.s. tariffs imposed upon imported metals and tariffs as they relate to automobiles the two also discussed u.s. sanctions against russia chancellor merkel fears that those those tariffs may impact german companies president trump at a joint press conference with ms merkel criticized nato allies like germany for not contributing enough to other g.d. . p. to the mutual defense he also talented what he views as positive reaction to his steel and aluminum tariffs and during the meeting chancellor merkel reportedly pressed mr trump on the six party agreement on nuclear issues with iran to which both germany and france are both par

well lattimer putin had a phone call today to emanuel mccrone the french president in which he warns mccrone against any sort of dangerous actions as he put it in syria apparently the fearns of possible airstrikes he said that that could lead to unpredictable consequences there is the threat of escalation as russian politicians have been calling in recent days for russia to try and shoot down any western missile that might be sent into syria there's been rumors that the british base in cyprus could even be targeted as part of retaliation but one one small cause for hope is that we know the confliction line between russian and u.s. military is still being used according to both sides they're talking about that to try and avoid any sort of loss of life or violent concentrates confrontation between these former cold war foes it could escalate out of control very quickly and also playing up on wesson fails a domestic politics playing up the likelihood of a possible refugee influx they face happens. that's right sergei lavrov in his remarks today said that caution against syria becoming a

and again mccrone did clarify that then the ceci of the agreement outweighs washington's concerns and he urged other signatories to stick with the deal until there's a better one but mccrone interim breaching consensus came as somewhat of a surprise to the other signatories especially considering that five hundred french british and german m.p.'s wrote a letter to u.s. congress asking them to support the deal saying that the concerns should be addressed separately and not within the context of the j.c. p.-o. way which evidently is in direct conflict with the crown and trump sphere so check out what the e.u. and russia have to say about it and what can happen in the future will seen the future but there is one deal existing it's working it needs to be preserved we are against the revision of these agreements and believe it's very counterproductive to de ro the longstanding international efforts will make sure that these agreements and shrines in the un security council resolution weren't be violated trump has until may twelfth to decide what he's going to do but now that there seems to

emanuel mccrone added that it would not be wise for their forces to leave syria even after islamic states defeated we were left to build the news here yaf towards the day we were finished this war against isis if we leave we will leave the floor to the iranian regime. question and these guys and they will prepare is a new one but russia's foreign ministers describe the french leaders call to remain in syria as colonial ahead of the visit mccrone enthused over the special bond he shares with the u.s. at mount vernon the virginia mansion was the home of america's first president george washington and is considered to be the cradle of american french relations the presidents will also exchange gifts emmanuelle macross revealed that he'll be giving an oak sapling from first world war battleground where french forces were joined by their american allies and he said he looks at why mccrone his visit to washington promises to be so special. donald trump is the first u.s. president in nearly a century to end his face chair without holding a state dinner but he's wasting little time in his second

almost a mccrone will definitely point out the european perspective that the united states should. they in that agreement should not scrap it because basically there's nothing to replace it right now this is the european position mr mccraw will point this out has pointed out already and i think mr trump will listen the question is of course whether mr trump will actually change his position on it he has called it a terrible deal and today he also warned iran that if they would restart their nuclear program after the u.s. possibly makes a decision to pull out of the agreement they would have big problems so this didn't sound too mr mccraw will be trying so judgment chancellor angela merkel when she will be in washington on friday and i guess the british also will try their pods through prime minister may so there's a concerted european effort here to convince mr trump to stay in the agreement. on trade of course the united states introduced these new trade tariffs against the world and then exempted the e.u. but only until the first of may and what was life was happen there. we simp

president donald trump has held his country's partnership with france after talks with emmanuel mccrone of the white house trump expressed gratitude to france for their involvement in recent airstrikes against syria and he highlighted the two countries cooperation on frey shereen north korea. you're up to date with g.w. news for all of us in berlin thanks for the company will be back at the top of the jala with more world news. out of the germany spain together in one nation from shanghai minute to chancellor also from bismarck. the history of the germans has been shaped by great rulers. nice well known ways to bring my royal college of bash e.-tec christendom and spread to find truth. always a good bit of the enemy in time.

friendship is blossoming over a mutual dislike for the syrian leader as the french president emmanuel mccrone jets into washington state visit under the trump military. plane a chemical attack in the syrian city of doom earlier this month called the question for the number of journalists who visited the site struggling to back up those reports the findings. the people very telling us very periods reserved for this whole story from april to seventh it was steve. and the cameraman claims israeli soldiers shot dead an unarmed palestinian teenager on the gaza border last week adding that he has video evidence to prove it. when i filmed him he wasn't carrying a stone or a sling shot or a knife do exactly like everyone else in the market. there were news twenty four seven this is r.t. international from moscow when i was calling for a first off for you this hour's breaking news the embattled prime minister of the former soviet republic of armenia has resigned less than a week after being appointed the announcement was made by. press service the decision follows eleven days of mass rallies in the ca

yeah president mccrone really did demonstrate how global leaders should be in gauging a foreign power and he came here to washington did what he needed to do to get president trump on his side it's clear that there's a personal bond it's deep and it's deeper than any policy disagreements i believe will will potentially cause problems with essentially this personal bond is going to be strong but at the same time mccrone also engaged democrats in congress in particular with his language and he really had them curing in on their feet so he got both sides liking him very much and i suppose that one of the questions will be will present micron's was that congress make any difference he was singing to that conversation where it is saying some of getting that the democrats on his side in congress is probably not going to really change the opinions of the republicans and indeed change opinions of the u.s. president. well smart foreign leaders understand that the american system requires engaging both parties not not ever can we really expect one party to dominate all of government and with mi

the military action is put french president emmanuel mccrone under pressure in the french parliament shall do bensky picks up that side of the story from paris. well the debate was called in the french national assembly following the decision by france to stand alongside the usa and the u.k. and all strikes in syria over the weekend well there were many voices heard in that debate many of them congratulating the military on their operation but they were fiercely critical that the operation had taken place at all and that much corn had approved it without any parliamentary approval here in france now there are also questions raised about the evidence that was presented by france as to the reasons that they believed that chemical weapons had been used by assad's people questioning whether it was right to use evidence based on social media there were also questions raised about the legality of the strike so many people saying that without a u.n. mandate how could they be legal others questioning why the european union community was not also involved in the decision to take part in those

again mccrone did clarify that the necessity of the agreement outweighs washington's concerns and he urged other signatories to stick with the deal and till there is a better one now trying to argue the opposite but mccrone interim reaching consensus came as somewhat of a surprise to the other signatories especially considering that five hundred of french british and german m.p.'s wrote a letter to u.s. congress asking them to support the deal saying that the concerns should be addressed separately and not within the context of the g c p a way this is crucial because it's in direct conflict with my crohn's view so check out what the e.u. and russia have to say about it and what can happen in the future will seen the future but there is one deal existing it's working it needs to be preserved we are against the revision of these agreements and believe it's very counterproductive to de rail the longstanding international efforts will make sure that these agreements and shrines in the u.n. security council resolution weren't be violated trump has until may twelfth to decide what he's goi

well angle merkel came to the white house today as sort of a tag team with emanuel mccrone earlier in this week to try to convince president trump to stay in the iran nuclear deal and to not end those exemptions on tariffs on aluminum in and steel in both cases it's unknown what the president might do during a press conference this afternoon in the white house merkel mentioned as did mccrone that the iran nuclear deal is not perfect it's a framework that can be built on but the president made no commitment either way as to whether or not he will stay in that deal on tariffs again said that the president said that he made no commitment as to whether or not he would extend those exemptions on the tariffs the deal with steel and aluminum and in both cases the merkel said it is now up to the president it's important to keep in mind that these are two nations that have a very close relationship with the united states is a manual mccrone mentioned earlier in the week that this is a familiar relationship that they might not agree on everything but there are things that these countries do sti

side to retaliate in syria after the chemical weapons attack there a couple of weeks ago president mccrone has had weekly conversations with trump not just these these visits for all their pomp and circumstance but weekly conversations with president trump so i think what trumps interest is when he looks at the european union and he is he has said this quite frankly he doesn't want to deal with the european union he doesn't want to deal with a strong multilateral framework on the other side of his negotiating table he wants a one on one scenario where he's dealing with countries whether it's north korea whether it's japan or china or france he wants to deal with them one on one because he thinks then the united states has the clear advantage as the world's biggest economy maybe side by side with china but he sees the united states having its economic and strategic advantage if it is sitting across the table from a single country so for trump not just on the iran deal but on all sorts of economic issues on tariffs on trade it's critically important for trying to have this relationship with
