hydrogen for example or other things so this infrastructure is not only limited to the forsythe h. and therefore i think pipeline system combined for storage capacities and she term in those all over europe is a good thing and i would win situation for all participants here being commission wants to amend the e.u. gas directive and propose changes will actually harm nordstrom to germany saying that they possible amendments aren't applicable under here opinion or international law so why would russell's come forward with proposals that are known to the bat. yeah that's a good moment to be negotiated and there are. at the moment talks and at the moment there are. some lawyers on. working on that and finally we have to find a solution and i hope that we've. a common solution for europe which increases

security to a full blood supply for everybody went up like the five european companies germany and france united kingdom austria invested ten billion euros in a project should in brussels protect their interest as well we we have a market already. approach in europe we want to have a single european and achieve market and we want to mobilize as much private money as possible for increasing and building the infrastructure. so that's the one side and we have to balance it on the other side of course. the european commission is concerned as some of the states going about that dependency on russia or to other partners will increase and therefore we have to. balance this but basically i think it's good that we have

a lot of european companies cooperating and westing in this project with private money. all right mr safir we're going to take a short break right now and when we're back we'll continue talking to him five for speaker of the christian democratic union party in the german the mr to talk more about the nordstrom to blab project on the opposition to truth from overseas. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers available to us but there was one more question and by the way it's going to be our

coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to go i mean eighty percent of the problem here with you and do all the great british you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. a low. and i'm really happy for joined to for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one i was also pretty sure needs to just write the review p.r.t. team's latest edition to make up a bigger. look. they're not ones that. somehow flintoff let down one might have the definitions in a match and the. king of. the south.

taking the equal sitting. down to give them an onion to bring the only think i'm. young would be. good enough to let me. suck out. in this test feeling the one thing i love just now you know the deep. to face them tokyo find it is going to happen keep going. because. you.

were bad. speaker of the christian democratic union party and the german bundestag discussing gear ups and just security and controversy around the nordstrom to pipeline project five or us secretary of state's rex tillerson stream to you as a threat to european energy security of the pipeline will be able to provide a quarter of europe's annual gasoline boards and will reduce to price of russian gas by almost a hoss the us have a proper understanding of the european energy market. from a strategic point of view i understand that there are fears also in us today say ok if europe gets more dependent to or russia that brings the

teeth seek threat maybe if we think of the discussions we had last year just maybe if you look to a grand way are russia while a to the national law occupying the grave that isn't acceptable and we have to talk about this and we will not accept but the talks must go on and i think we have to talk more to each other and to find also a solution for a lot of political economic technical cultural. issues and initiatives and so i think it is also good to. have more diversification on the energy sector and the us for example is now number one gas producer and supplier in the world and if they transport

the elenchi you also to europe we have a not a possibility and so this brings competition and it brings also security of supplies so i don't see that we are. increasing the security or decreasing the security of supply is the other way round and therefore i think we need should take all pipeline pro checked all at you bro checked all the storage oh checks we can get i agree with you and then there is joe mccarrick from the u.s. state department's bureau for energy resources and he dismissed the very idea of north can we bail out i mean i just wonder how can washington assess whether this kind of confidence what can or. can't be built in europe. yeah they have to hell wouldn't interest fall to their strategic interests they are also in us heavenly in westing and she infrastructure and so it's natural they also want to have

a share off the cake and russia wants to have a share of the cake and maybe even future times. iran and other states from the far middle east will have some shows indicate. that that's the way the market and so i think that's that's ok but why we should leave it to the market to market signals what is good for security of supply what is good for competition for the prizes and what kind of productive we will we will have and we should not decide it on a political bad so for me it's also not accepted will. russia nor then us deciding maybe on what chairman companies or european companies are investing in or which infrastructure we are building interim and

we're in in europe i think that's a tremendous it's a european decision here ride the united states has its own interests and is openly calling openly calling for european states to reject norseman too but what kind of leverage candidate search over here can states who can washington sway. they talking to international governments stay out talking to the most of parliament i also had some exchange with. american representatives and to members of the state department exchange if you will said. i think i at least try to explain why i see that more pipelines and more infrastructure brings more. or security of supply and what. reason for all of this is none so at least we were more or less ninety percent we had to save it at the end off to its cost miss a meeting but there is still

a. gap and we have to talk and dispell but finally we decide what infrastructure we build and what we cannot build so the americans are importing imposing sanctions against russia kompany is involved in nordstrom too from the german side how is barely planning to work around those there are not only not she is tendency to protect and. that bothers me and i think open markets free trade is key for growth and create a key for increasing. the welfare of the participating nations and so i personally oh pose any part protectionism hey dan and she said. in other sectors and so we have to rick people and working hard that we keep the

markets open. first think a multilateral approach is the w t o. the right approach if this is not for a team because we saw the last years that it's very slowly and we may be if we're. quicker and faster with bilateral approaches then we should do that but open markets. are key for prosperous development so north stream two promises tens of billions and potential welfare increase for all the twenty eight states which means also those who are arguing against it are these potential profits big enough to silence the name. harris. nobody knows about vilsack finally be the prophet but if v. have a shot or and. shoulder rule would not seem to it's put

potentially cheaper to bring the gas to central europe and then everybody can benefit. and just so that we will that we will see what happened. so nordstrom one remember matt similar strong opposition and it's time the same concerns where race and about a political influence gas to pay and then the pipeline is working fine and europe is still independent last time i checked so why are the same arguments raised against more seem to mean is there any think drastically different about this project. geo political. situation is different it was. more than took place before we had. the developments and so on and that's. a lot of people in europe especially in eastern europe and baltic states as well as and

poland and ukraine and romania and so on. they all fear a kind of new cold war and war on. and so maybe that is all these concerns. are also fed by the russian behavior in the last year but the if you. think but still alternative is my hope i mean that i snored streams don't vote for both but right but that's my whole point the first pipeline first north stream didn't cause the cold war did it why would the second one but it's all about money it's all about. the profit now and always i didn't say that nazri of tourists is is causing it to say but the russian behavior against craven. things changed in the last years there are also hostile activities on the baltic sea and in the air

which we fought both that we have not anymore and they. remember i was my crew up at the. called war and so i know what happened instead and i think. russia should change its behavior in this and his victim i mean i feel like there are double standards here because of course i understand europe or germany are worried about the whole political situation but you're still buying the guess. is it's a. two way dependency russia wants to sell the gas and if there is a pipeline it only can sell the guess why the pipeline and europe and germany need needs to guest so it's a win win situation for both. and they are our bilateral or they are problems political problems we have to talk about and

therefore we also implemented sanctions on the various sectors and so on hopefully figure that out and i'm to go to the table talk and i think what the there are the russians didn't behave the right way in the last in the last years and so that that's now also in the day a reflection in the public and on the political arena but all i'm saying is that europe or us on sayings that would both agree that we're sort of interdependent when it comes to gas so why generate extra trouble white it doesn't really make any sense when political thing is a political thing but this is all about gas and money and we both need each other here yeah that's that's true but we also not naive of course and that she's also an old ace a political issue but didn't she just say there wasn't

a political issue but it's a market issue i mean in achieve that it's course that. it's both the pipeline project is. private. and privately financed but not she discussed where for example the fulfillment of the european single market. is of course a political issue political issue and dependency and fears of security of supply also a political issue was they not she issue is a political is a political issue because without it not she. called him he's not able to iraq if you remember what happened at the beginning of the seventy's it affect the whole lot of countries and the whole their old economy had brought it. in a crisis and so it would be naive to say you know she is not a political issue. i am

a survivor i really hope all sides can work out their differences on this and the pipeline actually. will start to function thanks a lot for this interview for talking to five for energy speaker of the christian democratic union party in the german been discussing the north seem to pipeline project and what it means for the european energy market that's it for this edition of seven. this is. the church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually

abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop means to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end if that's known as the end then i conclude at tuesday's out in. this. case both. the art of the deal is being put to the test can trump the former reality television host broker a deal with the north koreans will the deep state allow him also is the world including the new trade.

in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than for knox swiss customs are here permanently and all the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening times. opposite it is from is all plus the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe masterpieces by artists like pecan so and modigliani i can't boards and sold inside this warehouse that's where the report comes in it covers up deals which are naturally discreet commercially discreet effect but also discreet because they concern fraud. some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the geneva freeport system you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand

three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the art business. breaking news on r.t. britain's parliament blames russia for the poisoning of a former russian spy that despite the u.k. prime minister being unable to fully confirmed moscow was behind the incident and solves. it states remains prepared to act if we must. washington and void uses the floor of the un security council to deliver an aggressive message threatening to strike the syrian government. and washington leaves the door open for you countries to negotiate their possible exemption from

u.s. metal tariffs with financial contribution to nato membership playing a decisive role. in the thanks for joining us this hour my name is neil harvey you're watching r.t. international british prime minister to reason may has said that it is highly likely that russia poisoned its former spy. that was in a statement made to parliament what followed was over an hour of heated debate. many accusations made against moscow r.t. correspondent to see a church that was following events joins me on the line so many accusations to go through try and stick to the key point know what reason i had to say in a statement. well let me and what we have here unraveling today is following over

a week of frenzy the anti russia hype has really reached a peak what we've seen is theresa may address parliament today following a national security council meeting with information apparently discussed about paul and his daughter incident and some of the language that to recently used did not seem to certain and this did not seem to be enough to stop some of the m.p.'s in terms of throwing around anti russian language the british prime minister has said that it's quote highly likely that russia was behind the incident she said it was either something with direct state sponsored involvement or the nerve agent as it's been described here was ended up in the wrong hands let's take a listen to what may have to sing it is now clear that mr rahman to stuart or were poisoned with the military. of the developed by russia this is part of

a group of nerve agents. the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible for the tickets and you. well you know highly likely isn't an interesting term to use given that the investigation is still ongoing there has been no evidence presented by the police we do know that theresa may herself has said that authorities would be given some more time to look into exactly what happened and there seem to be one voice at least inside the house of commons today opposition labor party leader jeremy corbin talk called for dialogue but that message seemed to have fallen on deaf ears let's take a listen to him. the speaker we need to continue seeking a robust donor log with russia on all the issues currently dividing our countries both domestic and international rather than simply cutting off contact and letting the tensions and divisions get worse to speak of the events in salzburg on the

fourth of march have appalled the country and need sarah investigation. the british prime minister theresa may went on to see that it will not be business as usual with russia anymore she said that the russian ambassador to the u.k. has been summoned to answer the questions about where this nerve agent had potentially come from theresa may said that if there is no credible answer from russian officials by wednesday that's when the u.k. will get back to the table to look at potential sanctions and so this whole process went from taking this one incident that is so far just being investigated to being extremely hyped up with lots of anti russian moods flying around here in westminster let's take a look. i entirely agree with the prime minister in her approach to this murderous attack we are not going. to share it with members of parliament should stand

together with you. which you'll show except the world we may not be in a period of cold war with russia as we were in the ninety nations because of their actions that could be said that we are at least now entering a period of cool you no doubt that the only way to deal with putin's regime in russia is robustly decisively and together as a parliament and a country is russia fish and proper state to be hosting or engaging in international sporting fixtures in two thousand and eighteen. we possess a considerable range of offensive cyber capabilities which we will not hesitate to deploy against our state if it is necessary to keep our country safe but we've all agreed that russia is a q a present danger we have got to be fully organized to meet that danger although these latest moods and atmosphere in terms of future relationships with russia

don't seem too surprising given the extent of the media hype we have seen unraveling throughout this last week when it comes to this incident with sergei screwball we've seen media headlines really come to conclusions before anything was even said by theresa may even to the extent of being highly likely we've seen headlines saying it looks like a state sponsored attack putin's murderous regime needs to be punished whether or not it was behind it russia should be treated like a terrorist it is whether this proposal poisoning can be conclusively pinned on moscow is beside the point so given this extreme hype that this case has walked hand in hand with it's not too surprising that it does not seem that the british government is going to drop that narrative given. the fact that despite the fact that the investigation is yet to be finalized and of course we've heard reactions from the russian foreign ministry so far they've said that this latest developments

are a circus performance they said that this is been a campaign based on provocation and that before creating new fairy tales the british authorities should provide details on the murders of alexander litvinenko boris berezovsky of course and many others as they see who mysteriously died on british soil so all lots of developments here certainly very very hyped up story yet it seems to be important to keep looking forward to what the investigation brings and of course we'll be here watching that and the thanks of course runs in london and syria churkin of the. nerve agent who was just talking about the reason i referred to is a binary gas that means that it contains a mixture of elements it was secretly developed by the soviet union this was back in the one nine hundred eighty s. is for me though it's no longer confidential and it's reputed to be the most deadly nerve agent ever created and also here's a quick reminder of just who is the former russian spy at the center of the

assassination attempt. group started in the soviet airborne forces he quickly moved to russia's foreign military intelligence agency are you on a mission to the mediterranean region in ninety five he was recruited by a man calling himself antonio alvarez the hit delgo a british intelligence term and spotter real name habla miller. exposed at least three hundred russian spies to the u.k. he handed over the g. or use entire phone directory doing inestimable damage to moscow five years on colonel strip all retired from the g.r.u. on health grounds but continued moving crucial information to britain's m i six they couldn't forthwith and bought him a timeshare holiday home in spain sells coast the double agent was convicted in twenty six of treason getting the teen years since in

a top security russian jail but just four years later he was freed in a high profile spy swap between moscow and washington script i'll move to the southern british town of bree where his recruits a problem allegedly lives the expire then enjoyed a fairly low profile till now. in other news donald trump has claimed his national secretary of commerce will discuss with the year the bloc scrapping many of its tariffs against the united states as far as the president imposing new terrace last thursday the move hikes import duties on steel and aluminum being imported to the us canada mexico and australia they've been excluded so far donald trump is now opening the door to negotiations with the european union and it looks nato membership will play a key role. to the jury the president made a statement near the end of his remarks i believe that raised a few eyebrows and seem to be referring to nato saying that some of our allies are

so-called allies treat us the worst in the over the next couple weeks will be looking perhaps at military spending as a factor in how these exemptions might work can you explain how those two things are related. well the president's going to take into many considerations when you look at national security but it you know the president's been very clear we're spending four percent of g.d.p. many of our allies are spending one percent of g.d.p. and not making commitments to go up to the two percent so the president is very clear with you if we're in nato he wants to make sure that nato gets more money so that nato protect all of us and fulfill its goal what what he means is that if the e.u. countries want to be exempt from tariffs they need to pay to be nato members and this is something trump has been pushing for since his campaign days arguing that the u.s. bears the whole burden paying nato's bills saying that other countries should be paying for nato protection and security let's take a look at what trump had to say.
