never found the. middle ear so we need to need to discuss. people into a huff and need to tell the. american friends that until no. less exis was again on. full the full peace. but but. since as. disappear. the bill have more tensions build have more conflict. come closer. to the final to perhaps the final nobody nobody even mr tribe but he would. be the must be kind to prevent a situation from happening. americans and the europeans in

different comes but i know it's will be it's going to be difficult i know it all right so we're going to take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to. former vice president of the european commission talking about charming crashed relations stay with us. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to go in for and let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful a very critical time to sit down and talk.

know we're back with it ginter sahagun former vice president of the european commission discussing the i'm an easy german russian partnership right so the new german foreign minister mr maass has started his tenure by taking a tough stance on russia but just a little while later we see germany and russia standing together in support of the iran deal against american attempts to dismantle late can one of the effects of the iran do affair be to actually bring germany and russia closer together. yes i think i think it does we have a busy strong common interest here and perhaps it shows that many many other areas

have common interests as far as the new foreign minister in germany is concerned. and should give him a little bit of time i was slightly surprised when he made that announcement because this is. not to put his seed. into coalition agreement and it's clearly not the policy. democratic party to which to which he belongs my my feeling is that a strong strong majority not only of social democrats since there are many but of those who will pollution once good and plenty leave the lesions with russia and strongly dislikes the complication of policy that we have seen during the last time in his first interview as german foreign minister mr mass was using words

like villager and hostile was speaking about russia something no acting german foreign minister was heard saying before should be seen as berlin's mouthpiece here i mean at the same time chancellor merkel is meeting with putin and saying that relations with russia are strategic priority countries need to talk to the german government have a united line on russia at the moment are not. good good good good question. i'm not a member of this government so i do not know but i noticed the discrepancy be to a bit you have mentioned and. i would not have used the terms which mr moss used perhaps it was not he will not repeat it my understanding is that chancellor merkel is very much interested. in constructive solutions building and building confidence and she is the one

who defines the guidelines. for a put is c. so give gifts to the present coalition in the debate time to adjust my understanding is the police finally the policy line bill be to try to corporally as much as possible like you have mentioned that the attitude that mr moggs has taken towards russia has brought sharp criticism from his own party members and other german politicians it seems that while the german chorus on russia is in line with the e.u. there is an internal political divide in the german establishment when it comes to relations with moscow how deep is this divide and how does it affect policy. yes. it concerns me busybody much what i what i can see since

a couple of years but getting stronger and stronger. between. the normal population and halt intellectual elites people in the people in the media people in think tanks people in political positions they have a much much tougher position than the german citizen. we have we have similar similar situation as well that did the elites in our country. losing contact with the interests and the views of the people so this is see isn't it in a democracy. if people leads completely completely different views and if you ask me who should change. i think that. those people.

and even. increasing tensions. at least think what they are doing so i agree with what you're saying because i have statistics here that said it's from their struggle it says that sixty eight percent of germans don't want to tell the stance on russia and overwhelming ninety four percent of germans think that good relations with russia are important will pay made of voters pressure the german leaders to find a softer approach to the german russian relations in the end. it depends it depends on what happens in reality is policy is not is not a matter of butch's for input is see as a matter of dietz so so we have to see whether we can find common ground in.

the interests like middle east like. perhaps even even ukraine in my view we. have common interests and of course of course economy. partnership it put a leash and ship needs substance we need to be need to do something and here we should not forget that the violent. between between germany and russia despite all the disturbing disturbing words and voices i still be a good to have strong touch the relations we have visitors strong economic relations be have extremely strong between people and organisations from the civil society be shouldn't be shouldn't be shouldn't underestimate that and yes i believe that finally. understand that we.

have a particular this bun's ability to make to make sure that russia is three to it as an equal in europe so even if there is a political decision in berlin to for example i don't know the sanctions on russia there are approach by all in member states so our chairman is hands tied on the issue regardless of whether the government wants to lift sanctions or not. yeah. dissensions to central european ish you're a peon decision and a single country like so many cannot cannot change it the need we need to need a common decision but i believe if if if conditions which would allow the german government on as a government to say we do not need to say the longer they would like to do that the

sooner the sooner than later nobody really likes to sing it's not the french not. know what nobody really likes it and. i would hope i would hope context beautiful full enough atmosphere better at the climate and then the next step. in decision to lift the sanctions step by step. in one step it depends on the situation so meanwhile as germany goes along with the sanctions it still manages to be lots of business with russia for instance building the north stream two giant pipelines natural gas into germany directly from russia so how does marlene balance this principle diplomacy approach with pragmatic pipeline projects. yeah it does. not seem not to in. as far as i understand it was not involved in the

decision making as far as i understand it the position was german government is that is interest not only of germany but those interests of enabling countries and to use in particular poland and the budget countries and i think that mrs merkel made it made it clear that not to does not does not mean necessarily a dead. it's losing its importance as a transit country for gus i think the best solution would be to to find a b. that is phys. needs of ukraine and poland by guaranteeing that the certain amount of energy bill be transported to buy these gun please. let's leave notes to. be neat.

to meet the demand. because the demand is not it's not a must that it month is increasing as everybody knows so merican made it clear where every cent leave that nor stray into project shouldn't go forward until all the issues of ukraine's transit row are settled she said that there are political casa durations involved how does this go along with german government officials numerous statements at nordstrom to. commercial project yet it does not go along with that it does it does not and do not know over the german government. legal instrument to stop that and i don't think so so this was a political pull to do political statement in my view it would be wise to do as i have said to find the balance aleutian which also takes into account the interests

of ukraine and of ukraine and poland but north too is as you have said for economic economically absolutely important for germany. so why is no what stream two so dangerous in brussels i mean the germans are pragmatic people they wouldn't sign up for something if it were really strategically dangerous is it more infrastructure always a good thing. and your position. tough position against most most of. the. complaining complaining a lot and some other countries as well. have the same situation. feel. here. that he.

made. a mistake one should have to try to have to have to pull out but that is spilt milk no again the best solution would be taking into account. the month for gust from russia. to say between two sets addition to. which we already have all right thank you very much for this interesting talk we were talking to. her again former vice president also european commission discussing european efforts to rescue the deal and germany's relations with russia that's it for this edition of. next time.

seventy four design submissions. seven thousand pilings. to join judges. and eight hundred sixty nonstop days of work. a russian w.b. a champion. and a russian pop stuff. show you how. long the crimean bridge was built. witnessed the construction of when you need to transport. that will help out of crimea. faster most of those you know what google more familiar quite a bit but it's clear.

i don't think that is our that are out here. much as the streets are. getting a little. look. a. little bit i'll build. on them and. by then coffee session on their own. by then is a shift that long. all of a sudden it's going to not a sudden loss is going on want. some some. not so with. the most of it was revealed to the pope multiple injuries among current america so don't look yourself you hope the look of shows real your mercy on the phone to the book on the if you can book a complete full social services say yes but i don't know there's a book in

a moral sense of the. month. hanumant of nothing left off allowed me. somethin to work. on long enough something outside of. the model s. and then see how the laws look ma says let's see what i can now maybe i'm reading on that these two are just some. of the warhawks sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings produce to the box forcing you to fight the battles that still needs to do socks for to tell you that every gossip and trouble is worthwhile for the most important news today. while the office of advertising tells me you are not cool enough and let's not buy their products. things all the hawks that we along the border

will walk. between a rock and a hard place as brussels picks a fight with washington by adopting measures to take the sting out of u.s. sanctions on iran. lashes out at the e.u. for not being supportive enough. the exits of the united states from the nuclear deal to ease political support for the nuclear agreement is not sufficient. two parties at the opposite end of the political spectrum seek the blessing of italy's president for their radical coalition manifesto. villagers local avocado farms supplying major u.k. supermarkets have left them having to drink water contaminated with human waste.

monday may twenty first and one pm here in moscow this is r.t. international welcome to your headline. iran's foreign minister has lashed out at the e.u. for not doing enough to help. us pressure mohamed badie its remarks come amid european efforts to say economic ties with iran which were thrown into jeopardy by the threat of american sanctions after washington scrapped the iran nuclear deal with the exits of the united states from the nuclear deal the expectations of the iranian public towards the european union have increased and the e.u.'s political support for the nuclear agreement is not sufficient some companies have already announced they are ready to leave for example french energy giant total and their multi-billion dollar projects could be abandoned by november when american sanctions are due to be reinstated france's finance minister lashed out at

washington. it's good now we're going to accept the u.s. is the planet's economic policeman do we accept one way domination with no respect for international rules obviously europe's response must clearly be known. on friday the european commission launched a process to prevent e.u. firms from being hit by u.s. sanctions under it european companies will be able to get compensation and loans if they are affected and the director of international finance solutions associates shabbir razvi he believes the e.u. is in no mood to be told what to do. i don't think european union is in the mood for listening to washington dick tot at this moment yes mr mock ron had a wonderful week and washington have a few weeks ago where mr mock ron has probably decided to become washington in

paris however the other european union countries particularly germany is in no mood to listen to washington on the business relationship that they have developed with . iran over the years it's not in the interest of anyone to create huge distance between iran on the nuclear dean decides financial measures diplomatic efforts are also in place with the e.u. energy commission and now in tehran on his first official visit to the country since trump pulled out of the accord. so if we have an answer discuss the latest developments with who can form a vice president of the european commission. because not except that the americans dictate the terms of the business the american policy of taking hostage other nations and companies to be it has to be partnership to do so

obvious. but the ship between the united states and do you opinion is entering a new new age it's it's not like it was in the past. more or less the americans and europeans share the same values. and directives to you opinions accepted that americans have to do the ship and the americans. enough to provide security i think that's finished. now this is art international the parties hoping to form italy's next coalition government are seeking the blessing of the country's president for a radical programme of action

a poll has found sixty percent of italians support the largely and he knew i did as agreed upon by the left leaning five star movement and the right wing likud party. must do something about immigration because it's a mask i love the color plan of course who want lower taxes especially for businesses so illegal immigration we need to solve this problem. but i'm worried about how five star and the league are going to make good on these promises it will be difficult because the powers the strong the. parties don't know hawkins explains how the two opposing parties wound up working together. italy's on the brink of forming its coalition government with the parties presenting their blueprint on the country's future to the president but this is no ordinary political deal should it go ahead italy will be the only western european country and the e.u. founding member governed by populist euro skeptics this is got europe pretty

worried italy first is the political slogan of those about to lead the country. we've told this to everyone even on the european level and from now on only italians come first now the northern league and five star movement have certainly had their differences in fact until recently there was no love lost between the two parties taking italy by storm fortunately for them the proverb the enemy of my enemy is my friend holds very much true with brussels firmly centered as their bad boy. the troika italian people have made is a step towards freedom for the whole of europe away from constraints and insecurity we want to rebuild europe based on people not bureaucracy we want to be listened to otherwise all these sectors and industries that are suffering from injustice because of european treaties and directives will have to be reimbursed they share a dislike for conventional establishment elitist politics they both want change in

the country's relationship with the european union and their policies on tax cuts that reduction and immigration would put them directly at loggerheads with other european heavyweights they're also both set on scrapping sanctions on russia but this approach has won them a historic election and continues to prove popular with the italian public well so far cards are being kept close to the chest so it's not clear who the nominee for prime minister will be both party leaders have ruled themselves out one thing is for certain though the next steps of the coalition at italy's helm and it starts towards brussels will hold even more intrigue than what brought them to power i was . that would be something really. especially for a country with such a long european. prop for sure this is actually. something recent years songbirds that is to the success of it's all about and.

there's a lot of. stuff that's sentiments out of iraq that when the big three of the five star. but little is still part of your. opinions. as controversy in germany over a cartoonist's depiction of the israeli prime minister as the winner of this year's euro vision song contest a german newspaper ended its collaboration with the author of under scrutiny after a public outcry i will show you the picture right now of the artist says he wanted to criticize binyamin netanyahu for exploiting israel's victory in the contest for his own political ends however some have accused him of resorting to anti semitic cliches i don't think seitan should publish dita hannity's cartoons he seems to be a hard line and to seem right the to have is a very dangerous man and absolutely and semitic this has been clear for the last

forty years no more idiots his caricatures important for shaping public opinion but there is no place for incursion anderson. after the outcry at the newspaper pull the caricature and apologize for printing at the cartoonist it is defiant that the editors have apologized is their business i do not apologize the accusation doesn't ring true with me that the drawing can be regarded as anti semitic i did not mean it's that way i can criticize netanyahu policy even as a german. there is another side to all of this though in his work on each i was mocked and criticized other world leaders as well though this cartoon here drawing comparisons between turkey's president over the one stalin and hitler that time around when there was an outcry the newspaper defended the artist freedom of speech we heard from israeli journalist gideon levy he says european media outlets are trying to avoid criticizing israel to avoid being accused of anti semitism whenever

it comes to israel not only to an attorney out to israel in general immediately the european media is scared of being accused and this image isn't why any other leader who can do whatever you want whenever you draw israeli states then whenever you criticize israel immediately it comes up all on the symmetry and europe is afraid really scared paralyzed of being labeled as anti semite rightly so by the way the only problem is that this has nothing to lose and this time it isn't and i hope the german colleagues in the german media will raise their voice of protest against the scandal of firing this. the mother of one of the victims.
