because you were somebody who was. associated with the election of president term. a provocator i've got nothing to do with trump's election campaign and you are not a natural. i believe in french foreign policy that's based on independence the very things that tie is really closely to the us like foreign security. emanuel said that europe and the u.s. have mutual obligations europe depends on the u.s. in the realm of security which you don't have to worry about that will help which will provide security is. the most anticipated meetings between emanuel. it was the french leaders first visit to russia as president. was there the day unfolded. this year in front of the cameras is going to happen right here.

for now if you were a diplomatic rock brawl schmall none of that tapping on the shoulder but a few smiles were visible out there. now that the presidents are busy talking that policy and it's all about what they'll choose to say to the journalists going to outlets. and now the press conference begins in this room. that was when emanuel macron surprised the people in the room first but then his speech went on to resemble somewhat of a love letter to russia he spoke for about four times longer than vladimir putin then also showed off his affection for some of the big names in russian literature like solzhenitsyn or the yes but it wasn't just about how many nice things the french president said about russia and this power is quite surprisingly again one billion worth of business deals were inked they talked about so much and brought up

so many things syria iran ukraine cyber threats the korean crisis sanctions multi-polar world freedom of speech and even football the french and russian leaders were two hours late for their rendezvous with the journalists obviously that was because of this massive list of things they wanted to cover but also i guess that was due to the last news of their dinner and the tastiness of it i just want to tell you about what was on their menu pancakes with the cab year as well as a crab starter then at for additional russian soup with a french twist searching steak in venice and was the main course and that was all topped off with chocolate cake. desert now i just want to quickly go back to the first seconds of the summit where manual macron was leaving his limo couldn't even hug him and also he prepared a copy of flowers for my crohn's wife regine from the very start to the very

end at half past eleven one of the russian journalists decided to turn away from politics and asked mr macron whether he was willing to come to russia in a month again to support the french national team during the football world cup most in the end i had to travel to school full of friends makes it to the quarter final i'll definitely be here to support it i'm optimistic by nature and i meet again with president putin that it's in we have a drink or a tea. america's ambassador to israel is being criticized this week after he posed with a rather controversial gift david friedman was the man who was presented with an aerial image of jerusalem but photographs have been altered to replace the islamic dome of the rock with the jewish temple now the third temple is a biblical reference to a new place of worship to replace an ancient one which has been destroyed the photo

immediately spot fierce criticism from the muslim world some official said that it expressed quote rude and hypocritical behavior the u.s. embassy there insisted the envoy was simply taken advantage of and demanded an apology. friedman was not the word of the image thrust in front of him when the photo was taken he was deeply disappointed that anyone would take advantage of his visit to create control of the us policy is absolutely clear we support the status quo on the show to use temple mount. and the internet with the picture came at an extremely sensitive time the region has been shaken by a violent anti israel protests in fact more than one hundred palestinians have been killed in just the last two months thousands more be wounded the situation worsened after the u.s. moved its embassy to jerusalem a step strongly opposed by palestinians both sides have long lasting statehood bids for the city we discussed this and the latest development with august. this might

provoke for the tensions it builds the rhetoric against the u.s. policies it would pressure governments to go in face of biden against the interests of the united states and at the same time there would be protests which are already been organized for quite some time right now in the passing territories over the two months we lost under thirteen people thirteen thousand injuries. already well it does come at a sensitive time and in fact is the united states embassy issued a. correction to the mistake saying that they support what's called the status quo in jerusalem which is exactly what the is what every israeli government since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven has also supported the status quo which means sensitivity and respect and honor for the muslim holy sites and this was

a unfortunate. reflection of an insensitivity that was corrected by the u.s. administration. public inquiry has been launched into the ground for the tragedy almost a year on details of that story. this after this break. these we continue to discuss only about what i meant those of the maastricht. six pockets and we don't we have nothing to give to the next generation our reason for which to be proud to be european these is the reason all of us kept. politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line big get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be that's.

actually going to be for us this is what i'm up for three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. things should. be. almost a year on from the ground felt far in london in which seventy two people died a public inquiry into the tragedy was officially launched this week and it opened with emotional testimony from victims' families and survivors first to speak at the end of the inquiry told us how his son was stillborn just hours after the tragedy

occurred i must warn you you may find this video upsetting so i killed my son. it's what i treat my wife. she's made of the hardest to. look for strength and courage so what we.

more survivors of given their accounts of how events unfolded and how the loved ones were lost the probe was set up to also look at wider issues like government response time and preventative actions including a bound on flammable cladding used on the tower auntie's nativity chooses been to meet locals who say that they're frustrated at just how little has changed. it's almost been a year since the devastating blaze and what's left of the grenfell tower could be seen here behind the scaffolding it's a harrowing reminder of a tragedy that has left many questions unanswered. there are over a hundred tower blocks in london alone similar to grandchild and people living here

want their government to make sure that it is all still like that does not happen again it's like a here and now and we're still living in the same situation when we found out altered it was just a bit when. it just costs us praise and streakiness cheap to why we use the lives of so many people into this one comes in the street. but. we know that it's obviously not safe before it could happen again in the moment for her to come on the program the homes were so what can the residents of tower blocks like these do in an emergency the advise used was to stay put but now according to the london fire brigade is being changed to similar taney as evacuation because of the farmable clopping however the government is yet to ban it tourism a promise to spend four hundred million pounds to replace unsafe cladding on high rise public housing just sixteen other tower blocks have had their having material

replaced with non combustible materials so all the authorities doing enough awful lot of government haven't done enough. to the needs of those of us which by going through in terms of the people that experience when family i don't think they're doing enough for them not nearly enough no i think the issue with the clothing they should have resolved upon our. roads i could see i mean the gardens that one sort of coming over and the nothing. what struck me as i've spoken to a number of residents who live here at the estate in camden is the fear in their eyes at the thought that they too could have lost their lives and now they're off to clarification from the government as to what's going to happen next to resolve those problems and action to be taken in a day or two to. britain's housing minister says the government is listening to concerns i'm will discuss a policy review over

a ban on flammable materials that are used in construction. thousands of people rallied in berlin it was in a macho guys by the anti immigration alternative for germany party bugs for counter protest by left wing activists even bigger crowds he's bitter over was at the center of it all. supporters of the on c immigration alternative to germany party gathered just behind the iconic brandenburg gate behind me on all sides though you might be able to hear coming from over this way from the round here this in round it bike thousands and thousands of counter-demonstrators. that come from their journeys politicians from migrant groups from both ends at night clubs to be taking part in something they called the base away the a.f.p. also a trade unions represented and among you coming out to say no to racism stop racism

that's of course what they think both tended to for germany stand faulted for germany themselves they say yes they want to close the borders but that's because they say the policies of angela merkel when it comes to immigration on the right for germany what we are seeing from the large scale county demonstration is this could just be the start of something because coming up this summer there is the big alternative for germany party congress it's taking place in our book and as i looked into. well those counter-demonstrators are getting prepared for that in a big way alternative for germany will be holding their party conference in the beautiful but varied city of out this summer however the fascist groups of the target and to disrupt it going as far as to publish to guide for those wishing to turn up and demonstrate that contains more than a few tips on how to stop the riots we suggest tracking and exploiting the f.t.'s weak points across germany so that we can guarantee the necessary space for

protests in all spoke it's a very detailed guy did include some ups of where members will be staying the routes that they'll be taking in the best places to disrupt the event from and there's also a section that includes rioting and life hacks everything the first time riots will need like how to block roads how to prepare paint to be hurled correctly but there's also some more unsavory instructions as well the best ways to burn tires to smash shop windows or to cause all without leaving any evidence that you were there or for that matter being able to be identified on security footage we wish you a lot of fun trying our instructions we showed the so-called right guy to a.f.p. spokesperson ronald glaser and asked him just how worrying it is to his members the best just call your we know we're being we're going to come for you this is some kind of disgusting kind of intimidation but he will not pay for it you know with

anybody in the party that's considering any extra security measures. will extra security measures. can be helpful but we did not have any party gathering. without a lot of security around the police and private security organizations so it would be different this time we also spoke. to the left party and asked whether they endorsed this guy or if they thought the far left group anti far gone too far this time. the traditional. which simply never. and never again year fifty years of clearly anti human this. bring forward racist statements for georgie or even work together. of context to militaristic fascist groups so we all the human lives falls as an

actress and society have to stand together. to do resistance against the quality of the. police in our exposure preparing for what's being described as an unprecedented operation some two thousand officers will be drafted in including reinforcements from nearby areas and they may well be needed fighting between demonstrators and police has turned nasty in the past but the.

police in hamburg were also warned ahead of time that something big was being planned there and with just over a month to go before the a half day conference on the thirtieth of june. to see if they can stop a similar situation unfolding there peter all of our r.t. . and finally this hour russia hosts football's biggest event the fee for world cup in just over two weeks time and some suspect that moscow is resorting to the most unusual measures to help the national team.

thanks thing with more news at the top of the hour. level was telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that are going. to stop spreading tell you that so be gossip the public eye fell for the most important news today. often advertising telling me you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with all the one.

by. pulling the welcome two worlds apart as an old chinese fable has a nasty tigers clash over primacy the monkey may emerge as the benefactor or even the winner by simply staying up the tree as china and the united states declare

a law in their trade war should the other players wait until they sort out their differences should they try to influence the outcome of this fight well to discuss that i'm now joined by brahma chill any professor of strategic studies at the new daily based center for policy research mr chiles good to talk to you thank you for joining us all the way from new delhi. will thank you now you remarked recently that in quote today's world it seems strength respects only strength is that only in today's world hasn't that always been the case it's always been the case but we have the spare tense of a rules based order and what we're seeing now is that pretense is falling in place of a rules based order what you have written is seeing is a based on a new g two because both china united states are both suing aggressive

you do not follow some americas to find your resume mira's tran i was. assertive it in latin ism so both believe in flouting international rules so in this situation in rules based order looks like a mirror but i wonder if there is also a silver lining in this open flaunting of you know international rules because china and the united states seem like it to some extent like a major made in haven't because they have a restraining influence on the child there to the degree that no trade agreement could possibly have individually over them isn't that the case it is true but it's important to remember a hollow this situation arose this close economic interdependency between china and united states. from

a conscious who was policy from the one nine hundred seventy s. on woods to china's economic crisis successive us administrations have it did china's economic rise ever since the one nine hundred sixty nine so with chinese border clashes the american is a sighted to co-opt china. against the soviet union and that led to the nixon kissinger opening in one thousand seventy one and that in turn led to america's decision to aid china's economic rise for example when president jimmy carter was in office he issued a directive that all u.s. departments would assist in china's economic rise so today an economic rules breaking monster has emerged in the form of china which floats international rules which which rights roughshod over global global creating norms now both

china and the united states for the time being at least have put muscle flexing around terrorists on hold but many american acts prates have been warning that this is just the call before the storm do you think the current between washington and beijing can be frozen at its current state or do you think we're likely to see some ass collation before what are scaled down i agree that there is the love and the slow will will not last for long because the americans have woken up to the fact that china has a very one sided trade relationship with the united states it's very heavily skewed in china's family or john i enjoy is a three hundred seventy billion dollars yearly trade surplus at the moment and this mammoth trade surplus of china is something the trumpet ministration is insistent upon reducing significantly and if the chinese play games if they do not

reduce the trade surplus significantly we will see continuing tensions and even the u.s. spinner tift out of being imposed against china but what's important to note is this that american allies like european union japan south korea. i have fared worse than china in terms of human actions the term of ministration has been harder and pressing its own allies rather than pressing china. the threat to impose punitive kind of sun china that threat has been put on hold by trump but he has been who are seeing and shaming u.s. allies like japan south korea kind of the european union well mr chillingly i certainly want to go into the discussion of. pressure against these so-called

american allies but let's focus on china more as you pointed out the united states has decided to take a pause for the time being and i think a major part in that decision was this mysterious plods to you on the part of china supposedly on the part of china to increase the volume of american imports by two hundred billion dollars and i say this is a mysterious place because the chinese officials say they haven't actually made it trump tweeted out about it as if it was a done deal but regardless of whether or not they have agreed on that do you think it's feasible do you think china could actually increase. it's imported from the united states by more than two fault it can certainly not not and a twelve month period but if it makes a genuine efforts to balance the trade relationship it can gradually over

a period of three or four years make make the relationship more symmetrical right now the relationship is very symmetrical and it's very one sided in terms of who benefits more even though many american corporations and and many american farmers have repaired some profits from the trade relationship with china the fact children that the strange relationship is pretty lopsided from administration is right in my view in seeking to correct the balance to make it a more level playing field for for the us and for us industries and farmers and i think that's a legitimate go to push you well actually that's a very very interesting point because i i specifically wanted to ask you a question about farmers as i'm sure you know trump has already pointed out that american farmers should get ready to export to china as much as they can produce

and much of that two hundred billion dollar deficit is supposed to be covered by agricultural exports but you know better than. i did that agricultural exports and subsidies is a very tenuous point in global trade the doha round the trade talks broke specifically because the developed countries did not want to dispense with agricultural preferences let's put it that way i know that india played a huge role in trying to revive the doha round of trade talks and yet that wasn't successful do you have any concerns that this new way of deal making by like chill deal making and giving american farmers preferential access to a very large agricultural market will essentially make all the other. national talks obsolete because essentially we have a you know a comfortable tucson between a major producer and a major consumer and everybody else seems to be all seem to be on the sides it's a very good question it goes to the heart of the future of the global trade regime

because after the collapse of the war round or what we have written a saying is first the weakening of the w t o second more importantly there merchants of overlapping trading blocks in the world the world is being segregated into overlapping creating blocks with their own rules so any kind of a bilateral deal which gives american farmers preferential access to the chinese market would further weaken the global trading regime because this will raise concerns across the globe about first the fact that. the uber subsidize as i recall from explodes it subsidizes farm production to begin with and then on top of that it subsidizes its i recall troll exports and then it

clinches a deal with if it with a particular country a large large country to to secure preferential access to that country's market for its farmers so this kind of weaving dealing is not going to strengthen the global trading regime is going to further undercut its object and its right ality while an agricultural imports are not the only thing at stake here i've already heard some suggestions in mainstream american media that in order to fill these two hundred billion dollar trade deficit pledge the chinese may need to swap european goods for american ones they may stop buying airbus and buy buoying in stats as if it was some exclusive tucson if dots were to proceed i suppose the current trade where would look like child's play the rule american demand on china is not about farm produce it's about high

technology americans are concerned about china's made in china twenty twenty five program which seeks to subsidize china's development of ten critical technologies technologies where the best in particular the u.s. head of china today including robotics commercial jetliner manufacture. computer microchips it's a crime. so the american demand is that instead of china. subsidizing this made in china i don't even if i program should be buying technology products from the american market now this demand has not been vote opposite but this is where the heart of the nec will see the negotiating strategy of the night states they are trying to get china to.
