members the members of nato will such as is the case with austria and since else we don't plan to sever the round table it's very difficult to shape a common that is really implemented in the way that it was and visit the fact that germany is not heading the e.u. will share is definitely a different situation than when the medium sized country like austria you chair by the german you knew that arose stance that a lot of the going on are former. that's all for this hour news wise but if you're looking for more head on over to our web site r t dot call for countless articles and interviews including in wherever you may be. during the vietnam war u.s. forces also bombs neighbor unless there was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know. how much it is especially a mouse can rebound country per capita. human history millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country. and i mean we have to win and it cannot happen again even today kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago is the us making amends for the tragedy in laos was bu

hit by the corona pandemic who had time to counter resistance from countries like the netherlands and austria that would prefer to save money to marathon negotiations they reduce the amount of direct eye to $390000000000.00 for the 1st time the e.u. will issue common debt despite all the haggling the current president of the e.u. council was placed. that's just i think this is a clear signal that goes beyond europe that this very special structure this very special entity a european union consists of $27.00 member states that can act together despite their very different backgrounds and have proven they have the capacity to act hunt bad is a good sign that the visa and that's. what is the deal actually worth. you talked in your opening statement about the disunity exposed by this deal in fact there were moments where it looked as you said of course the 5 days as if there might not be a deal would you say those north-south divisions will leave lasting scars absolutely it's not just north south now it's east west we saw a small groups of eastern european countries able to blackmail their intere

here the frugal four have become the frugalfive, austria, sweden, denmark, the netherlands and finland now, and it is all about, the main issue here is about the money that is given the money that is given out as grants rather than loans. so 750 billion euros is the part that they want to raise on the financial market, between the 27 countries, too, basically, in the short term, maybe survive the recession from covid—19. 8% on average gdp contraction across europe. spain, for example, have seen an 11% contraction. so what do they do to try and boost the economy, boostjobs, get people working again, and it comes down to relieve the leader of the pack, mark rutte, they say in dutch... he is keeping a stiff leg, that means he is not budging an inch on this because the dutch want to see a smaller amount given in grants. around 300 billion euros, not 500 billion euros as is planned, but the italians and the spanish, they don't want to see that part being reduced. they want to see money without these conditions or having to pay it back, because they say it is simply not their fault. last n
