the european union. instead of being an independent great power and independent goal of the month. i full a war even now, you know, even know when i competed like germany and talk about did desire be little dialogue with russia. what do they mean? they mean that ross issues on the my, in this partnership with china and people return european warm, it shouldn't become a repore of the european instead of becoming a dmitri, let me ask john here. so, i mean, i think to be set it out really very well, very smoothly there. so if that were all to happen, how is any of that to rush is benefit explained to me? how is watson? well, no. hey, let me like john, and i mean you meet people, laid it out here. so that's all part. that's all what the europeans want. the russians don't have a say in their own national interest. go ahead, john. well, i broadly very broadly agree with i agree with dimitry, i think he's put it very well. i think that's the hostility to russia in, within the european union. and i mean, within

it's financing deal with china has now soured, and threatens to drag in the european union. and california is facing, one of the worst drops and decades. losses are mounting. and so our, here's the, this will be the new normal under climate change. welcome to the show. i'm seeing beardsley in berlin. how much tax should accompany pay, and to whom should they pay it? as to the trickiest questions in a globalized economy, where the biggest companies can shop around for the lowest rates, many of them tech companies that often pay no taxes in countries where they're most active. a foreign ministers from the g 7 economies are gathering in london today to look for a solution. here's what things currently stand on. i think we're going to see the rates. i'm going to tell them to you. japan has the highest corporate tax rate at almost 31 percent with germany close behind the current corporate tax rate in the u . s. is 21 percent. although the, by the ministration would like to raise that. now ireland, the tax rate, they're less than half of what it is and fellow each member germany.

and it goes against all the values, the fundamental values of the european union. and let's get more we are joined by barbara fazel who was standing by with a view from brussel. so barbara ursula underline having some tough words for hungary there. what should we make of this statement and especially the timing of it. he obviously realized that she now had to react a bit more strongly. she did react right after the bill was passed, but then she said of for said we will look into this, we will sort of look at the legal side of this. but now, as she realized that yesterday, at the meeting of the europe minister is off the block, a 13 of them. undersigned assigned a resolution that was really strongly worded, telling hungary that this was discriminatory. discriminatory and this was absolutely against the spirit of the european union and to europe in law. she now felt also seeing, of course, the reactions in germany and elsewhere that she had to take a stronger stance. and so that's why we now see her opening. probably another infringement procedure against hungry and

barbara, what kind of european union would we have today? quite a different one because she really became the center of gravity in the you and as i said, she kept things together. so rather likely, greece really would have been catapulted out of the euro zone bricks. it might have become much more fractured at all being said, these diplomatic successes that she had that last not really so much credited to her because there was a lot of work behind the scenes going on. and they probably wouldn't have had the whole thing might have even been blown apart in the meantime. so it would have been a very different union. so she was really instrumental. she was sort of the center of gravity for 16 years. and i mean something, barbara, who will be glad to see uncle american go maybe some of the eastern europeans because she really had become the embodiment of liberal west and democracy as she stood up to donald trump and many admired her for it. and others thought that, no, we shouldn't, we should sort of be the friend of the united states. what ever

but people use every inch of this to fight on the grounds about the fightin and the european union. be really grateful to your opinion and you say in other democrats conscious that they are protecting, let's say i was try for build a new democratic builders. and in the since august we tried to many of the ways how to deploy medical appeal to the regime by but we went and factions is maybe the most powerful leverage to put pressure on their resume to make them understand that democratic countries are with us. and they will fight to alongside with the sense for rule flow against violence. and the sanction of course, can have impact on the decisions that made in the regime. and we want dial up to one think should be the regime about future elections. but before these old school prisoners have to be released, and i think sanctions can help you said that the, that this is a case for the vision for civil society and bella rues to sort this out. do you think the opposition is strong enough? so as a position is the majority builder. since now, the aster on the millions of people who want ch

what about the pandemic approach in the european union? in general, we're now seeing a grease is now going to allow international travelers. what about other european countries? well, bogart wants to do it to their more members states talking about that, but we have to straight that it's of course up to member states to decide how they proceed. what kind of tourist they want to enter the country. the u. a p and commission is calling an all member states to have a common approach, but it's still up to the member states to decide are brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena. thank you very much. now to some other headlines from around the world, schools in the and mar, have reopened for the 1st time since the military sees power in early february, the honda has called for full classrooms, but many teachers and students are staying away and to show up with distance against the regime schools close a year ago, due to the corona virus pandemic. the several european countries are demanding answers over reports that denmark helped us by on germa

it goes against all of the value is the fundamental value of the european union. the for me, if it's something i rejects politically and i strongly believe in a european union where you are free to love. you want also coming up. it happened exactly 5 years ago today. on june 23rd 2016 voters in the u. k said yes to leaving the european union. it was the day breaks it began. today. my idea is since this country, thank you to leave the or can you take back control of the issues that matters of the people of the united kingdom but to our viewers on p b. s in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with you in footballs. rainbow route tonight, germany and hungary clashed in the euro. 2020 soccer tournament. the city of munich wanted to protest hungary, new anti l. g b. t law by lighting up the only answer read it in the colors of the rainbow. but that did not happen. european football is governing body you way for rejected the request saying the political context has no place on the pitch. that was the beginning and 24 hours of

of course, there was a majority all leaving the european union. i think many of those know to address it certainly do, and the fishermen and others who are very would in the campaign. and as a result of that, the reality coming home, it makes it easier for labor to maintain that position in wales, that they were the pro european party. again, muzzling into plays territory independence in europe had been our objective and labor, but he appears to be independence. curious and euro friendly. and it'll be interesting to see how that plays out. jump shot and nearly done and then put accuse the commission of treating not as a plaything this week, but surely it was the european commission who sold the non island down the number that was bought us johnson. when he, a blatantly took up the commitment given the d u p. well, i think there's no tape whatsoever that i can that was given to say alex and you and i. but this discussion before, i perhaps wasn't just as confident and the words are the a dedicated and his can up to the union. i think because they, t

the judge also rule that the european union european commission didn't have the exclusive right. it didn't have the priority to any of the astrazeneca jobs that were manufactured to here, also in the u. k. which is also something that the commission is lawyers had claimed. and additionally, the court recognized that astrazeneca had had problems with its manufacturing processes. that's what astrazeneca lloyd's it said was the reason for this to lay. therefore, astrazeneca sees this is being a win. astrazeneca has fully comply with its agreement with the european commission. and we will continue to focus on the urgent task of supplying an effective vaccine, which we're delivering at no profit to help protect people in europe and around the world from the deadliest pandemic in a generation. well, the european commission is also crowing that it had a victory in court by this ruling, by the belgian judges. well, why? well, that's because of the court outlining this new time table for extra deliveries of the job to come here to the european union. basically what the court said is that

the european union, we are really grateful to them. since august, we havtried to think of ways to diplomatically appeal to the political machine. --egime. democratic countries are with us and they will fight alongside belarusians against violence and those sanctions can have impact on the decisions that are made in t regime. we want dialogue and negotiations with the regime about future elections but these political prisoners have to be released. i think sanctions can help. brent: that was svetlana speaking with us earlier from lithuania. here is a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. newly released bodycam footage shows the chaos and violence plays officers faced during the storming of the u.s. capitol building. a mob forced its way inside on january 6 as congress was certifying joe biden's victory on the presidential election. rudy giuliani has just lost his license to practice law in new york for supporting donald trump's big lie about their presidential election. this is a bitter blow for a man who w

on other words, the european union has approved new sanctions against bela rues targeting. more than 80 individuals and organizations. member states want to increase pressure on leader alexander lucas shane co after he forced a passenger plane to land in order to arrest. a dissident journalist state representatives met today with bella, roofing opposition, leader, foot line, or the sky. yes. before proving the latest measures, the e. u is also planning wide ranging sanctions that would target whole sectors of the bella lucien, a. com fedloan and take enough guys message to the you with clear. take courage and don't wait. the beller will see an opposition. nita had been invited to luxembourg as the guest of e. u. foreign ministers. she's demanding decisive action against bella was the leader, alexander lucretia, and coax. and that is exactly what the e. u is now doing with far reaching economic sanctions discovered us. i think that the sanctions that will hurt and i had heard so much that this regime will come to it's nice in the, in the lives targeting the state, potash ind

also in this case, it, as i said, you can come this coverage here to the european union. it depends on the members say they can let you in. they don't have to. and covet shield is distributed to cove x. that's. that's right. and you bought a lot of doses from the make us to send it to be administered and in the future. trevor restrictions will not depend on vaccination alone. there will also be lists of countries which are green to orange seen from the european union. so we can just come with a simple test as a p c r test, you don't have to be vaccinated and this regulations get more complicated as we speak. so it's, it's not as easy as it seems and they're probably changing all the time to thank you to be to you both. whenever a child re, therefore, and deli, unburnt regret, and brussels, and now to a new gold rush in space, once dominated by public agencies, startups and private companies are turning to the stars to that says, satellites keep getting smaller and cheaper. have a look data from space will be key to unlocking new technical innovations in the future. naviga

and the european union and the g7. i would be brave to say that russia has idiosyncrasy to these points. this is a point that i agree with. it is a strong statement, on behalf of the g7. but it seems to be irrelevant at the moment. because i think that for russia, the belarusian crisis, the navalny crisis, the ukrainian crisis, these are the matters that should be tackled. without external interference. >> i'm sure they would agree they should be -- there should be external interference and there shouldn't be russians fighting on their soil. >> well, how can you explain, what is russian interference? >> russian invaded crimea -- russia invaded crimea. russia is supporting the president of belarus. we could have this argument, but let's not have this argument now. this illustrates the differences between the two positions, the position from the u.s. and the eu and the position from russia. you can't even agree on what crisis actually exists. when you have problems like the coronavirus, tackling climate change, reboundin

and really taking the european union serious as an extra layer. that is really a great proof with an enormous program. but know that you have to live up to the u . s. expectation. and that means we need to be stronger. we need to speak with one voice. we need to be faster in decision making. we cannot afford anymore to have our complicated decision making. we really need to live up to the investment joe biden also now mate in the you. he clearly is expect from us to be stronger and to speak with one voice and only then we can be partners and be to ship. you know, the u. s. depends on the u. s. on germany a lots and especially german chancellor angle america. and we know that she will be stepping down in september and with her leaving the european union, washington are going to lose a window to the kremlin. and she's even been called the put in whisper. how can that, that last if you will be, or the gap be filled once she's gone? well that's, that's the huge question. we have to answering the german national elections at the front runner right now.

so we were not so alienated from the european union. many people regarded as something you have to live with. we could if we wanted to leave it i think many people in many parts of europe feel they just cannot leave it. another thing is i think the turmoil that was caused in britain by brexit. convinced many people in europe and rightly they would be paying a huge political price if they tried to leave. i've said in the past if france tried to leave the eu you have blood in the streets as we did not have. i think you have major political crises in european countries trying to leave. there's no choice but to make the best of it. >> you talk about turmoil. that turmoil was the political turmoil the indecision the difficult negotiations to hold the party together all of that. let's talk about the results. i keep waiting for the economic disaster. covid complicates everything, but is in the uk economically because a brexit now? more unemployment? what is up with that? >> is a website which originally called briefings for brexit and outcome

we were not so alienated from the european union. many people regarded as something you have to live with. we could if he wanted to leave it. think many people in many parts of europe feel they cannot leave it.he another thing is the turmoil that was caused in britain by brexit. convinced many people in europe and rightly they would be paying a hugeld political price if they tried to leave. i've said in the past if the eutried to leave you would have bled in the streets which we did not have. you have major political crises and european countries trying too leave. but they feel they have no choice. >> you talk about turmoil. that turmoil was the political turmoil paid the end decision, the difficult negotiation the prime minister made to pull their party together, all of that. let's talk about the results. i keep awaiting for the economic disaster. with covid compo gets everything. is the uk suffering economically because of brexit now? more unemployment? >> while help to edit a website was originally called briefings for abraxas it

we will exercise our hides, guaranteed by the european union's founding treaties. when it comes to things like tax budgets and foreign policy, the european union has to be marching in lock step, meaning old. 27 nations. have to agree to any statements or any moves concerning the big things. what this move would do would be to get rid of that. and in the past, what we've seen is the states be so being used as leverage. basically you've seen one country go, i'm not signing that until my, if you that is most pressing to me has been signed. what this would do that hiker masters talking about is almost certainly it would speed up the decision making processes. but it would get rid of perhaps some of the say that small nations have in the european union and know the thing that's worth noting in order to get what mr. moss would like. it would require all $27.00 member states to sign off on getting rid of the v. so if you listen to what victor all been and hungry has to say just to what mr. muff proposed. we can see that happening anytime soon. now political in communicati

and sadly in wales, of course there was a majority all leaving the european union. i think many of those now regretted certainly do the fishermen and others who are very forward in the campaign. and as a result of that, the reality coming home, it makes it easier for labor to maintain that position in wales, that they were the pro european party. again, muzzling into place territory that applied to independence in europe and been our objective and labor bodies appears to be independence, curious and friendly. and it'll be interesting to see how that plays out by the jump shot and nearly done, and been accused of being commission of treating not as a plaything this week, but she wasn't being commissioned who sold the non island. no, but it was bought us johnson when he a blatantly took up the commitment said given the d u p. well, i think there's no tape whatsoever that i can, that was given to say to you and i, but this discussion before i perhaps wasn't just as confident and the words are the a dedicated and his can up to the union. i think because the, the bank th

the european union is handicapped. it is handicapped because of the behavior of poland and the baltic states. and i don't see how parents can actually get around that now because yes, the french and the germans have very strong financial relations with russia. a so also to spain and italy, in particular, the agricultural sectors in spain, them, it's really, i'm no longer to i'm no longer able to export their projects to the russian federation as they once were trying to be used functions on russia. so be you or the leadership of the you only have itself to blame. i haven't expanded into parts of europe, which were always going to be problematic. i did not strategically plan for countries such as poland and the arctic state. and now, as i said, moments ago, be you in regard to its relationship with russia has become handicapped because poland and the 2 states do not wish to be any improvements between the you and why? because they are constantly portrayed russia as a french. so the whole of your and thereby they obvious
