the europe became the place of. a piece of dialogue but in the last period where is to reduce to europe to only technical approach only at the commission vision i think europe is a place of vision for the future a global vision for the future and in this way i believe absolutely crucial to be able to give a message of change in the political leadership for you what change because sharon another likely kind of thing is changing up the pants because of something these different elements of the next generation. studies together or arsenals is the path being realize that by european leaders now what parameters of must stick to the human there is a human culture a human rights civil rights is a part of identity our europe so if we continue to discuss only about our mentors of the master. fiscal compact six parts and we don't we are not able to give to the next generation and reason for the rich to be proud to be european this is the reason of euro skeptic because so we have a lot of single problem a single issue is surel

need europe, or they help europe could play a role to balance the u.s. veryhen there are long-standining personal connections. at the same time, china is very realistic about what they can do .ith european countries yes, they need angela merkel as the leader of the strongest european country. at the same time, they are doing a lot to drive european countries. peter: i would be interested for your thoughts on that, ruth. thinks china only pure's europe as a peripheral asian peninsula. is it that bad? realisticink it is about the role germany can or cannot play, and germany is the biggest economy in europe, it is the most important country within the eu, but from the chinese perspective, it is still a relatively small country. i think the chancellor is realistic about how much weight she actually has. germany hasat economic power, but when it comes to the big geopolitical questions, germany's voice counts a lot less. i think that has to be taken into account. peter: we are certainly discovering, because we talked about differences between europe and china,

shouldn't be weak you're to europe shouldn't be afraid to and europe has to act and has to act quickly this is your bill be prepared to fend off nationalism within its own borders and it should preserve the literalism in the road and this was a clear message maybe across the atlantic to u.s. president. and the german chancellor replied that she would be willing to join but crawl in is afoot to give some hope to europe. to implement reforms and to make europe function better in the future she also laid out the reasons that made him worthy of the prize that made him a war they were simply and i just like to play that particular segment of her speech for our viewers and then get your reaction there after let's have a listen. doesn't mean that i don't think the need for let me name three aspects of the money much faster than a man with a macaw knows what binds europe to get the license secondly i met in moscow has a clear vision of how europe should me full would. include a man michael has a capacity to inspire others in the service of europe this motivates us well committed to europe most

to europe. this gate arrived through lack of political governance in africa. and for the lack of vision. of european leaders i remember the discussions with my colleagues in two thousand and fifteen when i was prime minister please halpert not italy please out of these people who died in the business see a woman who died in the sea a pregnant they were a their child killed all died in the sea. ok maybe i lost two pints. in the survey in the elections but i prefer save the human life then save the. two pints in my in the sun what would you do right now. i mean he is not does not mean i think everyone could arrive in italy i consider a priority blot the people in africa and give them the power to unity to be able to create a new life in africa particularly because of the a long and perspective what about now people coming to your country should they be sent their last syria the lot of the number of migrants are. really. significantly descry is that so now the situation is absolutely by the past but they believe that all europe is able to have a strategy i mean c

and europe? alan: if europe does not get its act together, yes. melinda: only in europe? alan: yes, we need to deliver and be hard in the iranians and not the americans. we are choosing the wrong enemy. melinda: thank you very much to all of you. see you soon. to people who rarely have one. many young men in brazil end up in jail. what's the solution? in zambia, small farmers are being resettled to make way for large-scale agriculture. what does this mean for them? and in india we look at the caste system. how do millions of dalits cope with being right at the bottom

and more united and more sovereign and more democratic europe that's our challenge. yes but for those who follow the events i think you will see that the german government is not working as quickly as you had expected because we have a different method and we also have different views if you will speaking about e.u. finance minister but germany is not endorsing that. everything that you envision is not going to be a person possible are you aware of that of course well i never said that everything that i propose as to you have to take it or leave it all i have an ambition i make proposals but i am convinced that it was my duty to do so the current status quo in europe is bad for everybody our sovereignty is being tested by everything that is happening the iranian crisis trade crisis the challenges of the digital world of internet and there are g. transition migration and are a capacity to protect ourselves we have to make progress and. we have to be a more integrated european avant garde i would like an economic government a minister but you call it whatever you want

and europe is weak why. europe is weak because europe can't agree on a common foreign and defense policy i've long been of the opinion that it boils down to germany and france. and germany and france need to take charge they need to lead europe. and there's never been a union within a larger region without head to monica partners and germany and france need to assume hegemonic status and step up as the leading powers in europe. make until france has understood the opportunity it has together with germany europe won't make any progress. openly for. anybody but the opposite of this is happening it feels as though europe is winding down in britain is exiting eastern european countries are saying sure we'll take the money but we don't want any responsibilities or italians are saying there should be a parallel currency that allows him to get out of debt or can the e.u. as we know it be salvaged so. no one understands what italy is on about let's wait and see. eastern europe is saying it wants to be heard. in this

i think at the moment china is quite willing to listen to germany and europe because they need europe or they hoped that europe could play a role to balance the u.s. . and then did very longstanding personal connections at the same time china is very realistic about what they can do with with european countries and yes they need as the leader of the strongest european country at the same time they're doing a lot to drive european countries a pot but i'd be interested feel take on the truth because i know you came to discover a quote from anglo american saying that china really only views europe as a sort of peripheral asian peninsula as it up but now i don't think it's that bad about i think at the time phil is very realistic about the role china germany can or cannot play and to germany is the biggest economy in europe is the most important country within the e.u. but. from the chinese perspective it's still a relatively small country and so i think if the chancellor is realistic about how much weight she actually has she knows about that and there's of course that germany's economic

europe into. solutions that are born out of necessity that are only ever partial. and we could have our agenda determined by our partner usa but we can also take much to a path toward a more strenuous path but also the more promising drive. creating a europe together we can all be proud of the united. peaceful strong and free and it will put us. offers us a bit of protection and a future as you said in the sorbonne speech that europe we want to fight thank you so publicly first europe will never be finished the work will never end for european system to quote mr bones speech again we will have to take on its efforts again and again and must take it on and this means all of us as president even order the scientific conferring of the international charmayne prize in this city and one. encourage you to continue to be a strong voice fighting for a new year we wish you the necessary strength and the power of your convictions to make yourself right but first and foremost we wish you and all of us many c

it is notjust single men like zakariya leaving europe. it is families with young children, some of them born in germany. i wondered why they had decided to take a child to a war zone. mohammed has just arrived from germany with his pregnant wife and seven children. zakariya and the other syrians now face a five—hourjourney up to the border. i'm really surprised to see just how many syrians are making this journey. this bus is completely packed with people and families, and i have spoken to some of them who are too afraid to speak on camera. they are going back for many reasons, some of them because they cannot bring theirfamilies over, some of them who are really disappointed with europe and so afraid of raising their children in a foreign land. spending time with the families on this coach, i begin to understand that not everyone was unhappy in europe. some just wanted to be reunited with theirfamilies, no matter what the risk. under the cover of darkness, the family is prepared to illegally cross into turkey on foot. many of these peo

sanctions are europe and the u.s. now on a collision cool. off it's good to have you with us after an about face by north korea plans for that historic summit with the u.s. are now in dealt president donald trump acknowledging today that it is unclear whether the much anticipated meeting is still on insisting pyongyang must abandon its nuclear arsenal north korea says it will not take part in the talks if it is pressured to give up its nukes. history being written only a few weeks ago at a summit of the north and south korean leaders. where pyongyang said it was prepared to denuclearize. but now north korea has put on the brakes. in a possible sign of growing problems the north postponed a summit scheduled with south korea. the reason these annual us south korea joint military exercises that are currently taking place. south korea expressed surprise and disappointment at the news. it's regrettable that north korea has decided to unilaterally postpone the upcoming high level talks. back in washington president donald trump said he had been off

perspective iran does not matter economically so whatever decisions europe makes these are the the g c p u a are going to be national security could decisions and political decisions if they want iran to stay in the g c p a way they're going to have to offer some additional economic benefits but that's not because europe is deeply in namur to. the possibility of trade with iran i do think though to your questions your broader question europe is perceiving all of these things as a piece of the steel and aluminum tariffs the recent sanctions on russia the resumption of sanctions on iran i think you see the united states disregarding the needs and interests of its allies and europe and other allies are going to have to look at this and decide how to respond in order to protect their own console and yet mr blank you suggested before that in the event of trump's pull out your of will likely side with the united states even if it blames the current administration for ruining this deal and if it does i think the european leaders will essentially have to accept that their level of credibilit

this is the big picture across europe. most of the really warm air is being displaced towards more central and eastern parts of europe so we are on the edge of it. on monday, fewer storms around, so less of a risk that as overall catching one part, where the storms do brew on monday, they will be heavy with thunder and lightning. you can see how be heavy with thunder and lightning. you can see how warm be heavy with thunder and lightning. you can see how warm it is, 25 in merseyside and mid—20s across eastern parts of scotland. that is bank holiday monday. 0n eastern parts of scotland. that is bank holiday monday. on tuesday, notice how many thunderstorms break—out across western europe. all the way from spain, france into germany. very high temperatures, more like june orjuly. germany. very high temperatures, more likejune orjuly. a real heatwave across europe right now. this is to stay‘s forecast. storm brea ks this is to stay‘s forecast. storm breaks out across holland, france, some of them drifting. again, it i

what are you suggesting that europe does? >> i suggest that europe should take action to make clear first that it continues to support the deal, secondly to give iran whatever it can give in economic incentives, that is, continued trade and investment between europe and iran. third, to make clear, as europe has done on previous occasions, that it does not accept the u.s. right to punish european firms for the acting inconsistency with a multinational deal. that may not be enough to save this deal in the long run, but i think it's important for europe's future credibility that they make the effort to do so. >> well, we'll put that to the former prime minister carl bildt in a moment, but i want to ask you about this notion that president trump received questions about will this make america safer? how will it make america safer? he keeps saying i fulfilled a campaign promise, but a cnn poll shows that actually 63% of americans want america to stay inside the deal. but i guess, you know, the question is what about iranian compla

and europe is weak why. open europe is weak because europe can't agree on a common foreign and defense policy i've long been of the opinion that it boils down to germany and france. and germany and france need to take charge and they need to lead europe. and there's never been a union within a larger region without head to monica partners and germany and france need to assume hegemonic status and step up as the leading powers in europe. may until france has understood the opportunity it has together with germany europe won't make any progress. openly for. the opposite of this is happening it feels as though europe is winding down in britain is exiting eastern european countries are saying sure we'll take the money but we don't want any responsibilities italians are saying there should be a parallel currency that allows them to get out of debt or can the e.u. as we know it be salvaged so. no one understands what italy is on about let's wait and see. eastern europe is saying it wants to be heard. in this respe

of nazi propaganda is unacceptable for us in europe in america. a lot of people would say that is covered by freedom of expression so i see a lot of member states for the moment asking facebook to voluntarily ban these messages i think that is very submissive we should not ask the company to do so to delete it i think we should clearly regulate clear rules what is allowed in social networks in europe and what not and finally during your testimony before the congress senator lindsey graham asked you. repeatedly the name of only one of your competitors only one without success probably you can give us today for the european market a competitor probably there is one in europe if there is nobody in america. he said today in europe an alternative to facebook for the services you are offering what's up and instagram are already part of your empire would you consider your company as a monopoly and i have to say as a tech as a politician i believe in markets and rules but i also want to stop all kinds of possible monopole is and that's why i think it is t
