in the swiss alps boasting about america 1st and those new trade deals with china mexico and canada before he flew back to washington today truck fired a parting shot straight at europe tonight we ask is the european union now target number one for the tariffs. this is the day. of trade barriers where you can trade they have tariffs all over the place they haven't wanted to negotiate with past presidents but they're going to negotiate with they are frankly more difficult to do business with than china going to be able to make a deal of the as we have to do something else i don't have a timeline but maybe i do in my mind. also coming up it has been 75 years since the red army stopped the nazi terror of
3:03 am
it and yet the battle over who gets to write that history it reaches all. yes anyhow the fact that i asked for the funds regarding the start of world well to them yes i'm sorry to say but president putin is knowingly spreading historic lice . as you our viewers of p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome but we begin the day with the final message that donald trump had for europe and he was about to leave the swiss alps this morning i'll be back no i'm not the terminator this was trump the president armed with threats of tree terrorists at the world economic forum in davos switzerland the u.s. president told the world's business elite that america 1st is working he cited the new trade deal with canada and mexico that replaces nafta he also highlighted the agreement with china signed just last week now it's important to note that trade
3:04 am
tariffs on chinese goods have not been lifted and there is still hard and heavy negotiating to do with beijing but trump signal today that in his opinion the most difficult trade negotiations are just starting trade talks with the european union according to the president make dealing with china look like a walk in the park take a listen we met with the world leaders various world leaders including the president of the european commission who were going to start negotiating a trade deal with because the european commission was frankly have many ways tougher than china i say that respectfully but that's the way it is they've. taken advantage for a long time and so we're going to have a deal i suspect we're going to be able to make a deal otherwise we have to do something else. because the u.s. president there's some strong words about the european union to talk about that and i'm joined now by our very own of your our greatness he is in davos at the world
3:05 am
economic forum good evening to you. you heard it trump doesn't get a deal he says we'll have to do something else is is that a threat. well it can be perceived as a threat although we do have to at the footnote that the u.s. president has so far been quite unpredictable when it comes to his trade policies or his policies in general so it is perceived as a threat in the sense that the united states has already done what it has done with china we know that that was a full on trade dispute if not a trade war and something similar could happen with the european union as well however it's important to mention that according to most experts the united states would have far more to lose in a trade dispute of that kind with the european union that it has to lose with china because if we take into consideration all imports and exports of good and send
3:06 am
services for example in the year 2018 the bilateral trade between the united states and the european union was 70 percent bigger than the bilateral trade between the u.s. and china. so considering that and looking at what trump said today i mean he drew a very unflattering comparison between the european union and china was he telling the truth. well what is certainly true is that the european union has been often criticized for having a sort of protectionist approach to its trade when it comes to sensitive sectors that are important to certain countries and perhaps that is one important aspect to take into consideration is negotiating with the european union more difficult than you go sharing with china well probably yes because with china we're talking about one country and in the case of the european union we are talking about $28.00 countries that have very different interests very different problems and that of
3:07 am
course want to protect their own sectors so any approach for a trade dispute or for a trade deal has to be considered by 28 member states soon to be 27 as we know but of course that complicates things and that is part of the nature of the european union and trump and so on and we have to remind our viewers you know they're not finished yet phase one that agreement was signed last week but they're still phase 2 so you know it leaves us with this question how much energy will the u.s. president and his team have for yet another front in these trade wars. well it would still has to be seen at 1st as if donald trump is going to stay in power of course that is still sort of an open question but we could say that the team around donald trump is very willing to continue on with its america 1st policy
3:08 am
and making sure that the trade agreements are switched between bilateral talks instead of the multilateral approach that the european union and the united states once used to support let's not forget that there was a big initiative to remove trade barriers and to somehow harmonize the standards for imports and exports between the u.s. and the e.u. in the transatlantic partnership that the u.s. ultimately ditched so this is important also to take into consideration and let's go now from trade wars to climate change the e.u. commission chief ursula found a lie and she put climate change at the center of the speech she delivered today take a listen the european green deal is our new growth strategy. the novelty. and the difference. to our fossil fuel based model is. that we will fall still growth that is not extracting
3:09 am
resources but that gives back to the planet more than it takes away from it and europe has the 1st mover advantage the 1st mover advantage there is the european union's green agenda ringing any alarm bells among the business elites there where you are in davos. well to a certain extent brand not necessarily because investors or companies don't realize the necessity of fighting climate change they realize that there are risks by not doing so but the problem is that this is an idea that is very hard to sell especially to the regular people that ultimately decide where they put their money on that is why it was enough underline also mentioned that group of 44 important investors in europe that asked the e.u. to sign a law to force climate neutrality because of course it is easier to tell people that they have to invest in climate neutral projects because it's required by law
3:10 am
than just to simply say it's out of goodwill and we know that when the president was asked today about climate change he could not resist a dig at the climate change activists greda to listen to what he said do you still feel that. you're doing enough you know how you how old she sees that that is a no yes that's true but what is your response to. this and we have a beautiful ocean called the pacific ocean with thousands and thousands of tons of garbage flows toward us and that's what they are by other countries so i think greg has to start working on those other countries disagree all right we're trying to get our heads around that one about the trash in the pacific. but is anyone buying the u.s. president's. in a pitch that the u.s. is leading the world as
3:11 am
a prime mover when it comes to protecting the environment. well of course we have the experts here and we have the researchers here and of course also the environmental organizations and they came up very quickly as well as fact checkers to say that their records of the united states are not as rosy as the united states and on are trying to put it that being said let's not forget that the united states is a big country it's also a very polarized country right now also when it comes to climate change so the attitude of people here in davos of those experts and leaders is that they will simply try to continue and work with those people who believe in the climate change crisis and who are trying to fight it they would wish for the united states president to somehow support their cause but considering that that is impossible as of now well they will simply try to work around it and as you said things could possibly change come november the w.'s javier are going this joining us tonight
3:12 am
from the world economic forum in davos switzerland thank you. in jerusalem dozens of heads of state from presidents to kings are gathering to remember the moment when the nazi genocide machine was shut down the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the auschwitz death camp now it comes as the ghosts of anti-semitism are being seen more and more all around the world and that includes new york city which is home to a thriving jewish community and also the scene of a growing number of anti semitic attacks boston hartford has this report. there was this is a tense time for the city g.'s of crown heights a neighborhood in new york spiraled brooklyn. new community has become the target
3:13 am
of an increased number of attacks in recent months. now there's more police on the streets protecting synagogues in other jewish institutions. through fire soon and his friends as students at a local yeshiva a jewish religious school. anti semitism is always been an issue in this ethnically diverse neighborhood but the recent string of attacks has hit uncomfortably close to home. attacks worse on someone threw a chair at someone else some were screaming kill jews there's different attacks that have been stolen that pointed a gun out so in that pic i have friends i got punched fred a middle central crowd hates where everyone walks. they see they're not afraid but the attacks have made them more weary they want to walk their selves specially at night. just yet thing obviously because of the increase of the fear in the
3:14 am
community because of the recent attacks. on the family that it is that a precaution added that feeling that you know you have to be more careful. orthodox jews become targets of anti semitic hate crimes because they're doing this is plainly visible. and he colin is a rabbi in the community he knows being recognizable is a risk but he says hiding is not an option never be afraid never be afraid to show who we are never afraid to to remain and or run away never to the idea what kind of running away somewhere else this is this is our community and we're going to take whatever it takes to stay here and be strong but not to be afraid or to hide or to fear. but it's not only the orthodox community that's feeling uneasy feldman is jewish too and as with many of new york's jews you can't really tell from his lips born in israel he's been in the u.s.
3:15 am
since the age of 3 the olives in manhattan he had to he says he needed the community has changed since the attack. people are talking about getting armed and carrying guns weapons learning self-defense where it wasn't even a subject before. roughly one in 8 new york city residents is jews for centuries new york has been a refuge for jews from the world this city is home to the biggest jewish community outside of israel that's why rising anti-semitism here is particularly unsettling jewish advocacy groups are saying the phenomenon is that surprising as it is complex because the sources of these recent the semitic attacks here in the united states are multiple that they're not all coming from white supremacists or white nationalists they're also coming from street attacks in new york. by young african-americans they're coming from black hebrews what seems to be constant is
3:16 am
a sense that there's a copycat phenomenon now it's become sort of more involved to go after jews who are identifiable on the streets. back in town heights who really his friends say they won't back down they trust him state this stronger than the he cheated of their tempers. from new york back to israel one of the speakers at the event in ya bush will be. my year allow allow is a holocaust survivor who lost nearly his entire family in the book involved concentration camp he was chief rabbi of israel before retiring back in 2017 and w.'s tanya kramer met with him to talk about remembering and commemorating and the show. it is a festa full of feeling. that it is
3:17 am
a forgotten. many times you thoughts that people will forget all of us and if you forget it there is little reason to believe that another one will literally appeal. he did move with you know it and you have said that it was the rigidity of medicaid to tony for the jewish people we're in the midst but you look at that only victims as someone said no to all the victims would you was but all the jews were victims. and if you come from all over the woods and you make it here or shall lie it meeting today amid remember this this is a good side then kind then something from the holocaust a nice gives a problem is that uniter view again the word holocaust farm also one small action
3:18 am
taken against the rising numbers of anti semitic attacks what do you think needs to be done 1st of all education to speak in school hold a schools about this rigidity of the 2nd world war about the tragedy of the holocaust to speak to teach to explain most of the truth today don't do it this is the one number 2 to make it to fix the laws in the parliaments of home all over the word against place in which is this says point is to enforce those laws we exist already in many cultures in many pollinated to to make it to have to act accordingly. in the wise words there from red by israel may year allow speaking with the use
3:19 am
tanya kramer well over the next few days there will be 2 commemorations of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz the 1st takes place tomorrow in jerusalem the other next monday at the site in poland poland's president duda will not be there tomorrow he's boycotting the event the latest punch in an ongoing fight between words all and moscow over who gets to write history the polish government accuses russian president putin of pushing reversion ist lies about the 2nd world war a narrative in which poland's victimization by the nazis is question what israel is not just a bystander here its relations with poland are also strained last year israel's foreign minister israel cuts said that and i'm quoting here polls suckle anti-semitism with their mother's milk that drew this response from polish
3:20 am
president duda. saw on sports much she was of those there are jews who were born in poland before world war 2. and survived the holocaust. and i think that poland and the polish people deserve an apology for the words mr katz used. in you just accept that this will work but if. i spoke with some of them here in warsaw when they visited poland. and these voices are also heard in new york it was no doubt these words were extremely offensive towards us to produce people and our country. going to go cry to the right that was the polish president there i'm joined now here by my colleague which actual months he is from the polish service which is good to have you here on the show let's start by talking about modern day anti-semitism or claims of it in poland how is it being
3:21 am
dealt with. well i wouldn't say that the issue of the semitism is in poland no somehow high on the agenda of the ruling glow and justice party and of the government i don't think that the government sees any urgent necessity to deal with anti semitism in poland and i believe the government would rather say we don't have any bigger problem with that than the other european european countries but let me let me say that those statements made by israeli and minister israeli minister cats has really left poland outraged and there were some very harsh comments coming back from war so towards israel which was actually marking one of the worst and most tense face of relations between between poland and israel was there ever an explanation offered by mr cutts or why he said. well.
3:22 am
as far as i'm concerned those words were said during the election campaign there were a lot of emotions on both sides in poland and in israel and we've had for example the current israeli ambassador to poland stating just couple of days ago that poland is not 8 and sanity country so i think now it's a little bit. let's move now to the reason why mr doodoo will not be attending the commemoration of mint said young bush him to morrow wants you to listen in to what president due to had to say. user you called your camp the fact that i asked for the facts regarding the start of world war 2 yes i'm sorry to say but president putin is knowingly spreading historic lies you know to return home after he's doing that to clear starlin's russia the responsibility for
3:23 am
starting the war with nazi germany over johnno she was. given a shot of it i assume he's ashamed of it today. which is what what do you think that the president there what is he most worried about here well i believe what what's really worrying for for the polish president is the russian president mr putin has been very very active lately talking about the history of europe and talking about the history of world war 2 and how it began and mr putin in some several speeches accused poland of partially being of complicity in the in the outbreak of 2nd world war and indirectly of complicity in the holocaust which again made a potent outraged in the list last weeks and president he was
3:24 am
invited to attend this ceremony out of a sham however he was not allowed to give a speech there and the president said that he will not go to yad vashem and seat and just listen to what president putin is going to say because he will be there as well and he will be giving a speech and it's possible that again mr putin will say something which is not acceptable for for for poland. that's why president did us that we can't allow for that to happen that i will not be able to reply to what mr putin the say yeah exactly i mean he was afraid that basically he was going to be gagged to right there while putin gets to speak poland is hosting its own commemoration at the site next monday how important is that for the country. i'm quite sure that poland wishes that this side. of former german concentration camps
3:25 am
in poland is the central site for the remember and about holocaust and about also liberation of of auschwitz and about the tri. judy of the 2nd world war that's why i believe the government is not really happy that this ceremony in you have a sham in jerusalem is being attended by so many politicians and that the world attention will be there. in the have a sham and that the heads of states of so many states will be speaking there and not in do you think that the government in poland would prefer that everyone good to visit the site and i think so yes i think there is somehow some kind of competition there and that we know that it's it's very important to the you know the party in power right now the law and justice party how you describe this and that you say that that shits is a knot or it was
3:26 am
a nazi death camp in occupied poland it's very important right poland is very sensible about this because there are some media and even some politicians sometimes saying something of polish a concentration camp or polish death camp and this is of course. inacceptable again for poland because it's my sound as if it was a polish concentration camp which was not the fact it was a german nazi camp in white poland and remembering that it's 75 years after the war a.t.f. there the outbreak of the war and so many young people have no idea what was going on during the war what was going on in auschwitz what was it it's my. it may lead to some wrong impressions about what we've got we've got about 30 seconds do you think the schools in poland nail considering the party that's in power or
3:27 am
the schools teaching the history true history about what happened in poland i guess so however yes however every. tree has this tendency to see its own sacrifice in his own blood to see it 1st and it's in poland as well or major projection once he is oh it's good to have you here and to provide very valuable context into this important date thank you thank you. the day is almost done but the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either at u.w. news you can follow me a burned off t.v. don't forget use the hash tag living and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see that.
