10:30 pm
doesn't to venture just don't lose your grip and the treasure map for modern gold. trotter's, governor, some of us are wicker breaking you to know also the book form me. it was in the early weeks of the pandemic on march 17th. 2020. when the european union closed is external borders for the 1st time ever, shutting out the rest of the world, hoping to shut out at least some of the corona virus. since then coming to europe has been almost impossible. that is about to change. today the european union agreed to reopen its borders to visitors who have been fully vaccinated. it could take effect as early as next week, just in time for what is being called a hot vax summer. i'm brick,
10:31 pm
gulf and berlin. this is the day the me out about and see people. it's pretty people been stuck in goes missing their friends. i think human interaction is wonderful to go on holiday again. father just freed up after a year and a half. not been afraid of having a great time and it feels good. what sort of all person look, we have to make sure the virus doesn't spread against the middle of the world, keeping all fingers crossed that that things get better from well, we're alive. also coming up in u. s. foreign policy, president biden is making it clear ties with germany are more important than
10:32 pm
a disagreement over a pipeline from russia and when he comes to the pipeline and us ties to russia. well, the story there gets a little complicate when you read them. apparently, a u. s. decision has been made to promote stable, predictable ties with russia, berries. this includes constant unpredictable sanctions. that's not what we need are still motionless to our viewers on p b. s. in the united states, into all of you around the world, welcome, we begin to day with europe preparing to reopen its borders just in time for summer . today, the eve agreed that the time has come to make it possible again for tours to visit the borders are expected to open as early as next week, but only to those who have been fully vaccinated against the corona virus. with the vaccines approved for years here in europe. currently, there are 5 astrazeneca johnson and johnson would dare know by on take pfizer and
10:33 pm
the chinese vaccine sign of form. the decision to reopen borders would not have been possible without science. if we go back to march 2020, when the boarders were closed, the world looked different and darker. there were no approved vaccines, and the death rates and hospitalizations from cobit 19 were just beginning to skyrocket. the summer of 2021 promises to be an important phase in europe's attempt to return to normality. there were hints today in france after 6 months of corona virus restrictions in lockdown. france is now reopening public life. outdoor dining is now permitted to cafes, restaurants, and bars, but not at full capacity. cinnamon, theaters, museums are also back in business. this comes as frances vaccination dry picks up speed. the number of new infections is falling, the case loads in some areas remain high. frances, not alone. austria is also restarting public life. after 200 days
10:34 pm
a walk down austrians, you see them here in vienna. they've begun flocking once again to cafes and beer garden. in the read off was finally able to go, for instance, again somewhere where it's especially good to meet people chat with friends, see people's faces. everything we haven't been able to do for the past 7 or 8 months will now hopefully be possible again. and hopefully this time forever on top of this, this is marcia sean. then it feels a bit like getting back to normal. i think it's very positive for the restaurants that they're finally able to reopen again. it's just offspring. i hope they also have good weather. so that the people can eat out doors, it's great that the restaurants are open again. i'm really happy about it today. he'll great. i feel like back to like back to life and the people in the street. happy. yeah. just like no, no more than coming back to natural or things. i mean a lot that,
10:35 pm
that me and you know, the covet 19 to start to finish. you know, when it's opening the this and all the museums and all the public areas. that's good for us, you know, we feel more freedom, you know, it's good. i'm happy with france and austria are not the only countries taking steps out of lockdown earlier this week. britain also lifted some restrictions, allowing indoor dining and trips to the cinema for the 1st time in months, but all is not well. the spread of a new more contagious varying 1st identified in india is causing concern cases of cobit 19 calls by this various to have more than doubled within a week in the u. k. the english town of bolt has been hardest hit. the w charlotte chelsea until picks up the story from the as bolton tooth, britain weights search my explanations are on the way in this northern english town
10:36 pm
to combat the rapid rising cases if the covert 19 variant thus identified in india . it's already the dominant strain here and is likely to become dominant nation warrant. what we've noticed is with our infection rates in bolton, the transmission has been happening in the younger age groups. i've been putting a lot of pressure on since the government, especially to make sure that we can rely the vaccination as quickly as possible. and essentially what i've been saying in recent days, to fax and a whole. also, before the end of may, this is a delicate moment and the u. k is fight against the 19, well, thousands have been vaccinated here in the last few days alone. these measures are unlikely to contain the spread with the same variance already detected in dozens of areas in england. k, a had a successful vaccination campaigns. they thought some 70 percent of adults have had
10:37 pm
at least one dose. but that still leaves a considerable number, who will unvaccinated, no authority here are wanting is among that population. this strain could spread like wildfire. this variance is considered more transmissible from the u. k. dominant can strain. what is it known is by how much a significant increase could see hospitalization surge. but there is reasons for hope in both and the majority of those in hospital haven't been vaccinated despite being eligible. assign vaccines, a working information that we've seen, that jayceon suggests that our current vaccines do confer immunity. again. stephen, this new variance, we're picking up novel virus infections, but we're not seeing severe disease emerging in a fearful way. so so i think it's quite likely that over be able to
10:38 pm
vaccinate all way on this one as some remain cautious. others are enjoying you, found treating, socializing and doors returned across the country this week with all restrictions due to be lifted in just over a month now. but the government says the next few days will be key. dates are on case numbers and trans. mr ability will help determine whether england continues down its part to freedom open. the brakes on its road maps of lockdown would either be used to charlotte shells until she filed the report. she joins me now from london. good evening to you. charlotte's. another lot of concern there about this so called india variance. what do we know tonight? what it is, i'm sure you can imagine all watching case number's extremely closely giving the public regular update. what we've had today is that now 2967 cases of this indian variance have been identified. that is up 28 percent since monday
10:39 pm
through a considerable rise there in just the last couple of days alone. and for anyone who can remember back in january here in the u. k, when the, the tenants buried the varying that went on to become dominant. he has started to spread. there are echoes is that it could send some alarm bells ringing, bump we on to the same position here in the u. k. as we was back in december and january when the ken barron right. and that is because of the case successful vaccination campaign. we know today that 7 out of 10 adults here who had at least one dose full out of 10 of now had 2 doses and authority, the prime minister boris johnson, saying that there is a high degree of confidence that the vaccine will be able to hold off the spread of this new variance, indeed, in bolton hospitalizations, have gone up the town that we saw in that report that but the majority of those in
10:40 pm
hospital still those who are eligible for vaccines but, but didn't accept the vaccines, didn't take them up so that seems to suggest, or the so authorities is suggesting that evidence is the vaccines all working. and if you look at the picture across england hospitalizations at the moment are still stable. indeed, they're very, very low. if you look at the number of people in hospital now, it's less than a 1000 compared to the january peak when you were looking at almost 40000 people in hospital. in charlotte, we know that england is supposed to relax all restrictions in about a month's time. is that still on the cards? that's very much up in the air at the moment. all the, all the moments that we've had in the evening of these restrictions. indeed, it's been staggered, have gone smoothly, no delays so far, but that final ease of restrictions, when all legal limits on social distances will be lifted is looking at currently in
10:41 pm
jeopardy at the moment. and what it really depends on is just how transmissible this variant is found to be, and we're being told we should hear a lot more on that in the coming days and into next week. if it is considerably more transmissible, the warnings are projection suggests, you will say, see a big surge in hospital hospital hospitalizations, excuse me. and it is then that you may well see a delay to that final lifting of restrictions. so what is the strategy going forward? there are more and more people as you know, counting on what is being called, europe's hot vax summer, 2021. but it's a very delicate balance here. i think for authorities they all gradually opening up the box. the strategy is to try and backs and aid as many people as possible as quickly as possible. now, the u. k is, is back to 18 people according to age. the now on the 35 and over and they all
10:42 pm
really vaccinating people in those books. bolton, for example, as we saw that report though they doing testing in these hot spots and checking for these new variance with what they're calling a very advanced with the valence system. they say that this is a method that proved successful earlier this year in casting down cases of the south african variance, which right then slides in south london. but what you have to bear in mind now is so many restrictions. and now literally it's compared to them. so it is, it is going to be a tricky balance. in the was the health minister today hancock. he said that the replacing the shield of restrictions with the stores of the vaccination program. so that will be the strategy going forward, trying to win the race essentially between the new variance and vaccine fingers crossed for every one the w charlotte chelsea until reporting tonight from london.
10:43 pm
charlotte, thank you. the well, it is one position in u. s. foreign policy that has remained unchanged from the obama to the trump, and down to the biden administration. and talking about us opposition to the natural gas pipeline leaking, russia in germany, which is known as north stream to washington, to seize the project as a threat to ukraine. as well as europe's energy security. although the pipeline is almost finished, the u. s. wanted to slap sanctions on companies involved in its construction. but the sanctions were apparently becoming too much of a risk to the u. s. german relationship axia. she's reporting that the u. s. will it was planning to wave sanctions on the german firms connected to nord street to of this is what nord stream to looks like when i give you kind of an image, a picture of that it runs parallel to the 1st nord stream pipeline and connects
10:44 pm
russia in germany via the baltic sea starting in via borg and leading to an already completed terminal in the german state of mecklenburg, western pomeranian, the u. s. has always claimed that the pipeline would make europe to dependent on russian energy. now, according to the axioms report, sanctions will not be waived against russian ships involved in the project. today, the german foreign minister had words of praise for the biden administration's decision. this is actually when there were sanctions on non stream to your i don't see but they were lifted because of a presidential waiver. and we think that is a constructive stat and still keeping should we not have 3 months to discuss it with those responsible in washington funds for listening washington. that's the question. and to help us understand what the buyer whitehouse is doing and what it means i'm joined by benjamin schmidt. benjamin served as european energy security
10:45 pm
advisor at the us state department. he's now a fellow at harvard university. enjoys be tonight from washington. d. c. benjamin. it's good to have you back here on the day. is the decision to waive sanctions? is it a sign that the by the administration is making it about face? are the sanctions becoming more of a risk than a safe guard? hi brain. great to be back and let's just step back for a 2nd and look at what is actually happened today. and there's been a lot of churn in the media about depress reports in terms of headlines that suggest the budget administration as effectively thrown in the towel when it comes to opposition and work to stop gas problems north spring to pipeline. but for the moment, the analysis of what is taking place does show a different picture. first of all, according to reports, including the actual report, as well as politico and, and others that have been mentioned by the ministry in fact is planning. and in, as i understand today, has issued sanctions on an array of firms,
10:46 pm
entities and vessels that are actively engaged in construction of the pipeline with administration officials speaking and background in other outlets, pointing out that their aim is to still make sure the project never comes into operation, so this notion that there is no sanction coming on, nor thing too is not the case. in fact that a, they have gone, but they are the, are these russian entities and german entities are the, what we heard earlier today is that it was just going to be russian entities that were going to face these sanctions. i, it's unclear yet because they haven't actually released the list, but these very likely are russian owned and operated entities and vessel simply because open source reporting show that russian ownership in those vessels are the ones that are actually engaging in that work. not german firms, and in fact, most of the firms involved in this project or not german at this point, they are russian. and so that's why we see this kind of cognitive dissonance when there is also this report that the administration for the time being will
10:47 pm
acknowledge that both the project parent company, north streaming to a g, which i'll remind the viewers as well physically located in switzerland, 100 percent owned and operated by crime control gas from as well as ceo that they're involved. they're going to say yes, they're involved in sexual activity, but they're wave those sanctions for the time being. going to resolve that role out . there's been some well deserved public confusion, as well as criticism against the administration and statement from both democrats and republicans on capitol hill that stem from the fact that the bible ministration is vowed to push back against russian malign, influencing global pro, daugherty and vectors of strategic corruption, but now it's seen as issuing a statement that is somehow quote in the us national interest not to enforce sanctions on both the kremlin back project company as well as the c o mathias bombing who we've talked before. you and i, on the day about has, who is an extra the officer, and he's a long time putting crony who is named in russian opposition leader alexis of all
10:48 pm
these widely circulated, anti corruption be over the keep your important orbit of corruption. so that's a step that i think that your congress is going to push back on. what about what we heard today that the sanctions against german firms are being waived for 3 months and then everything can be reconsidered? do we know why 3 months? it's 3 months because every 90 days a new report needs to be issued to congress. so that's why that that timeline was, was reference. so really to see what's, what's going to happen on this friday. we heard the statement from michael moss, the prominent also welcome this step, which is of course concerning to be on. but you also see that the, the political landscape in germany is rapidly changing. b, c, b, northridge, to including the green parties on bowed stop. the project if they prevail in the bonus, 5 election next autumn. so it is failing to take action against nor string to really a step that will benefit trans atlantic security. i think not what and if the u. s . german relationship in the long term. i'm not so sure yet i want to pick up on
10:49 pm
that. you know, there is a national election here in germany and september the greens are leading in the polls right now. and we know that the greens are against nord stream to me these 3 month waivers that we're talking about. you know, this is, this allows the bind administration to basically preserve the german us relationship. and then after the election, take advantage of the green's position. if they're elected and finally killed the project, or do you agree with that? yeah, very possibly could be the case. of course it's up to the german voters to decide. and that's, that's something that i'm really concerned about because green party chancellor candidate on the lena bear, bach has been cyber attacked in the last week by russia for her statement boeing to stop nor string to and have germany take a tougher line to stand up against student crony capitalism and aggressive actions and long needles eastern flying. so if nothing else, it's yet another queer act that shows that this project is not just the commercial deal that the russian state views it. it's so important that it will metal in german, germany,
10:50 pm
its own electoral process itself can remote this malign influence project that it wants to use to harm european security. so i think on this front brand, the german government really need to step up in the short term to take responsibility and make it clear to the kremlin that no pipeline project is more important european security. and certainly not more important than russia's own meddling in the german democratic process itself. and i think that that's got to be made very clear, very quickly. yeah, and it is also interesting that how energy security, geo politics and election integrity can all come together, which as you say, we are seeing and may actually come together in september in that election. which meant joining us tonight from washington, which is always good to talk with you. we appreciate your time and your insight. thank you. thanks so much, brent. the. well, here on the day we've reported on the legal jeopardy facing former us president donald trump and his family on many fronts. his business dealings are currently
10:51 pm
under investigation by prosecutors, manhattan and in new york state. the new york probe into possible tax evasion, insurance and bank fraud has been a civil case, but now it is also part of a criminal investigation. the manhattan new york district attorney say that there cooperating on this kid donald trump has always denied any wrong doing. he issued a statement today saying that there was nothing more corrupt than an investigation that is in desperate search of a crime on a bully. now, mr. nick ackerman, he's a former federal prosecutor in the southern district of new york where when a trans investigation is taking place, mister archman was also a member of the watergate prosecution team. it's good to see you again. good to have you back on the program working. so we're going from a civil now. now we've got a criminal investigation. what does that really mean or what is changing about the investigation? and i guess people want to know is donald trump now in real jeopardy of maybe having to go to prison?
10:52 pm
well, i think what's changing is that this has been going on for a while. they've had the attorney general new york investigating on the civil side, the manhattan district attorney's office investigating the criminal side, but they've always been cooperating. they've been doing that for the past year. and now the fact that they're actually announcing that the attorney general in new york is also working on the criminal side of the angle. i think it means that donald trump is in big trouble. and that it's very likely that there will be an indictment within the year. mean you have to understand there's a difference between the civil and the criminal. the civil simply means that the government can then go ask you for money for tax fraud, for not paying your taxes. and there are penalties and that's about it. but the criminal side is much more serious because that means jail time. and in order to convict on a criminal side, you've got to do it beyond a reasonable doubt to
10:53 pm
a jury of 12 people, or who has to be unanimous tax crimes are a lot different than most ordinary crimes. because you have to show that the individual who committed the tax fraud did so with the purpose of cheating on his taxes. so the challenge here are for both the da's office and the attorney general's office is showing that trump acted knowingly and wilfully. and that he did so in order to cheat on his taxes, this is precisely what we had to do back in watergate, when i was dealing with the nixon tax case. most of our time was taken up actually gathering evidence to show that nixon knew that the deed that was backdated for his gifted papers, united states, which gave him a huge tax deduction that he knew that it was faults. and that he approved it. well, mister archman were talking about the possible crimes that would have been
10:54 pm
committed before donald trump was president. correct. and so this, this notion of presidential immunity, which a lot of our viewers will be familiar with. it does not apply here, right? of course not. and it wouldn't apply, even if he was a tax cheat while he was president. i mean, just because you're president, you're not immunized from committing a crime. and certainly when you leave office, at least the department of justice guidelines that don't permit a sitting president to be criminally prosecuted. do not apply once donald trump last office. so either way, whether he committed tax fraud prior to being present and whether he continued it after being president. either way it can be prosecuted if he committed those crimes trumps former lawyer, michael cohen, he's cooperating with investigators. we know that how much pressure is there now on other trump organization, insiders to flip oh,
10:55 pm
i think the, the pressure here is huge. particularly on the mr. weisel burger, who is the accountant for the trump organization? and the accountant for donald trump, i mean the typical defense in a criminal tax case is to blame the lawyers and blame the accountants. but if, as a prosecutor, you can get the accountants and the lawyers who handle the returns to come clean and testify. then you've got a really good case, and if anybody should know where all the bodies are buried, should know where all the shenanigans took place. it ought to be mister rice. i mean, even michael cohen and his testimony for congress. pretty much made that clear that whenever donald trump didn't want to pay a lot of taxes, he, he basically showed lesser income when he wanted to get a bank loan showed more income, basically committing banks. right. all right, mr. nick aucker minister argument is always we appreciate your valuable insights
10:56 pm
into this story. i think it's going to be a hot summer for some people. thank you. no question. thank you. where the day's almost done, the conversation continues online. you'll find ones with the w news. you can follow the brit golf tv and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody who's the the news, the news, the news, the news, the

11:00 pm
the news . this is the w news. why the from berlin tonight, the u. s. president tells israel is prime minister. he expects to see de escalation today, but that is not what is happening. benjamin at yahoo says he's determined to continue the garza offensive. as violence redesigned for a tense, de monster responded with renewed rocket. fire is real spending people they are running for government. also coming out of spain accuses morocco was failing to stop the migrants crossing into the spanish on play about 2000 surveyed the journey this week with many swimming across only to be sent back.
11:01 pm
the news i bring coffee is good to have you with us. we begin with the international push for a truce between israel and hamas. us president joe biden has urged, is really significantly deescalate it's offensive. but israeli prime minister benjamin at yahoo was not backing down saying the operation will continue. meanwhile, the death toll is rising with many children also caught in the crossfire. the young girl rescued from what was once her family's home, destroyed in an air strike. she was buried in the rebel for hours, as her siblings and mother died around her. calling for help. the 2 days later,
11:02 pm
she's recovering with her father in hospital severely traumatized. her name is susie. on the matter of a funny means that along the way i heard the voice of my children. from beneath the rubble calling me. i heard my son's voice calling, dad, dad, before he suddenly became silent. he's 2 and a half years old. what and my daughter was calling me, dad, dad, a few words. then she went silent to get him out. off of these really army has been showing the gas a strip targeting how much the tunnel systems there. they reported that they took aim at about 50 targets, but there's no guarantee there won't be innocent deaths to say we don't, we hope we can restore why we can use i want to say that we're doing that while
11:03 pm
doing our utmost to avoid civilian cars, palestinian president, my food boss, has called for an immediate end to the fighting. i'm at home, we don't have the attacks and destruction in garza are, is really occupation led to terrorism in a war crime that is punishable by international law. what the media had, however, an inter are still a decent in the middle east still seems a long way off. international diplomacy is trying to make inroads. german foreign minister, a high call mass announced he will fly to the region on thursday for talks with israelis and palestinians in you will send him with him on my left. you meanwhile and gotcha. susan still isn't talking and she's only just started to eat and drink again. the doctor say they can't get her the psychological help. she needs because of the fighting. if any victims are innocent here,
11:04 pm
it's the children. i for more now we want to go to our correspondent dana reg of intel, a v v v to you dana, let's start with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he says he doesn't rule out re occupying garza what would that mean? 4 well, brand, it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume that more than an imminent threat threat, this is somewhat of a wink towards us and it's coming jihad leaders. the last thing that you know and is really military need now is actually a ground operation or re occupying the gaza strip. in fact, no israeli soldier has set foot into the gaza strip since 2005 in what has later become known as the gaza. disengagement, so i would assume that this is more of a hint or an implication that is so called dragged into such reaction. israel is
11:05 pm
indeed able to re occupy the strip. however, it is very unlikely then natania or the idea is really military. would see this as their goal or aspiration you as president joe biden told netanyahu that he expects to see de escalation with him off by the end of today. that is not happening. what does that tell us then about us influence on israel? right, well, so it is a, the united states is most definitely israel, strongest allies, so that is definitely not a country that israel wants to l e n 8. however, the biden administration is also using terminology that we have not seen before in israel biden. and it's both had 4 talks in the past week, and this is the 1st time we're biden does not offer. his support is not declaring the say that israel has the right to defend itself,
11:06 pm
but in fact says quite loud and clear. this is your responsibility. natania to de escalate the situation, which also tells us whom joe biden believes has the authority and the power to bring about that sees fire. and he is definitely moving it to an attorney. i was hans. and what about the europeans? germany's foreign minister haiku mos, he'll be traveling to the middle east, a whole talk could his visit, help move things towards the ceasefire. right, brent? so we are expecting here in israel visit, visits of more than just a high call. must other foreign ministers from the you are expected to arrive thursday, and indeed more than it might bring about the seas fire this is potentially assigned the disease. fire is approach and is in the horizon. what we know is that israel's foreign minister, gabby, african, as he, he sees this visit or he invited the foreign ministers from the you in order to and
11:07 pm
i quote, show support and solidarity with israel's target, with israel's goal of fighting and detouring. however, from the european side high school, my germany for mr. is we'll also meet palestinian prime minister and hopefully to all sides. this will help to speed up the already the fire that is already on the horizon also with an involvement of some sources in egypt. okay, or d, w, corresponded directly with the latest on the situation between israel and the palestinians, denied. dana, thank you are, let's take a look now. some of the other news making headlines around the world in at least 20 danish cities protests have taken place against the repatriation of syrian refugees . authorities recently revoked the residency permits more than 200 syrians. many have lived in denmark for years with their families and will now be separate. earlier this year,
11:08 pm
the danish government declared parts of serious safe enough for refugees to return . thousands of french police officers had protested outside parliament in paris there demanding better protection and harsher punishment for attacks against the protest comes 2 weeks after an officer was shot dead while on duty in the southern city. of the new the u. s. has waived sanctions on the german firm, overseen construction of russia nord stream to pipeline, but it will impose sanctions on russian ships and companies involved in the project pipeline runs through the baltic sea into germany. us. it's claim that the pipeline would make europe to dependent on russian energy. germany is foreign minister has called today's move construct the us and russian foreign ministers are meeting an iceland in the highest level talks between the 2 countries . since joe biden became president, the face to face talks between us secretary of state onto the blinking scene here
11:09 pm
arriving. and his russian counterpart said laboratory are taking place on the sidelines of the arctic council. the meeting comes at a time when us russian relations are at their lowest point in decades, and the 2 sides have been discussing, setting up a summit between biden and vladimir. good morning, i'm joined by a washington bureau chief indisposed. she's following this forest screening to you in as so anthony blinking he is in iceland talking with 2nd lab. rob, what does he hope to achieve with this meeting? well, the expectations here in the united states friend are the lincoln directly raises the issue of aggressive russian activity is i mean, including the colonial pipeline hackers, even moscow's election interference. and also the detention of the opposition activist alexa, nev only. so just to give our international views
11:10 pm
a little bit of an, of a feeling how the situation here isn't the united states only some weeks ago, the us intelligence community said in their annual report, the russia presents. and i quote that one of the most serious intelligence threats to the united states. so this is how a broad range of americans is feeling right now towards russia. and what about sugar level in russia? what are they aiming to get from this meeting? you know, it's a very symbolic place where they're meeting because of the melting ice out trillions of dollars worth of gas and oil, and other very, very important minerals. and there is no doubt the russia uses every chance possible to claim that they have a major or that they play a major and powerful role in this area. and i'm sure that love is talking
11:11 pm
