this is usually i believe in french foreign policy that's based on independence so there are things that tie is really closely to the u.s. 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 micron and bloodier putin it was the french leaders first visit to russia as president of a trunk was there was the day unfolded. this year in front of the cameras is going to happen right here. for now if you were diplomatic. none of that tapping on the shoulder but a few smiles were visible out there. now that the presidents are busy talking that to politics it's all about what they'll choose to say to the

journalists and if you have. any doubt 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 washing 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 lavishness of their dinner and the tastiness of it i just want to tell you about what was on their menu pancakes with a cavalier as well as a crab starter then at for additional russian soup with a french twist surgeon steak in venice and was the main course and that was all topped off with chocolate cake. for dessert now i just want to quickly go back to the first seconds of the summit where manual macron was leaving his level. even hugged him and also he prepared a copy of flowers for backgrounds wife read 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. in the end i had to travel to support. france makes it to the quarter final i'll definitely be here to support it i'm optimistic by nature and i'll meet again with president putin. in we have a drink go r t. italy faces renewed political deadlock after the prime minister designate said that he's failed to form a government that's because the populous coalition's choice for economy minister has been vetoed by the country's president and once you have these oil ministry of political figure from the coalition parties who is not seen as the supporter of a line who could provoke italy's exit from the euro. this is the man in question paolo servo now he has decades of experience in finance and wants does industry minister but he's also known for vocal criticism of the e.u.

as earlier he urged italy to drop the euro which he called a german cage and one of italy's populist leaders is sure that the german establishment played a role in savannah being vetoed. german journalists and politicians insult us italians the lazy tax evaders freeloaders an ungrateful people and we should choose a finance minister that the like no thanks. on this is one of the front pages salvini cited as an example of german media bias as a van painted in the colors of the italian flag as it falls off a cliff the caption calls italy europe's big disobedient child and this stefano from italy some five star movement one of the two parties has been seeking to form a coalition government told us he wants to see the president impeached. we broke to the part of the president and i thought i let a list of the ministers with the president of the council there were perfect every steps was agreed with them before to bring it today and the all the far it was not

ok with was the minister of economy incredible point is that come the day to minister my bona was the first saying to us that italy has to stay in the e.u. in the euro zone but this to be more strong in the east if you show to bring some good point at home was there and i said today in a t.v. conference was that it was not ok because in the past he criticised you so can you imagine a democracy where and minister cannot be a minister because he has some political idea you can be a trial so you can be a problem we've been dried just guilty for something but you cannot be a problem if you have some good idea why we are bringing in the president about i love to be impeachment in the parliament. left wing activists was it is so unusual tactics to disrupt a rally led by the anti migrant alternative to germany party in berlin earlier this

week when the full story out of this initial. chose seemed wrong. but old rules just told. me to

get to shape out just because the ticket and engaged in equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. thousands of people have rallied in berlin an amount children are asked by the un team of gratian alternative in germany party for the counter protest by left wing activists to even bigger crowds peter all of those at the center of the top. 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 for news around here this and around it bike thousands and thousands of counter-demonstrators.

that come from germany's politicians from my current groups from both ends at night club seats being taking part in something they called the base away the a if they all say trade unions represented in a monk's they see you coming out the say no to racism stop racism that's of course what they think alternative for germany stand fulton to for jimmy themselves they say yes they want to close the borders but that's because they say the policies of angle of 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 is taking place in out and as i looked into well those counter-demonstrators i getting prepared for that in a big way alternative for germany will be holding their party conference in the beautiful but varied city of the summer however on t.

fascist groups of the ten and to disrupt it going as far as to publish to guide for those wishing to tear it up and demonstrate that contains the few tips on how to stop the riots we suggest tracking and exploiting the points across germany so that we can guarantee the necessary space for protests in new. it's a very detailed guy did include some ops 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 writing life facts everything the first time writer 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 tie is to smash shop windows or to cause all without leaving any evidence that you with or for that matter being able to identify on security footage we wish you

a lot of fun trying our instructions we showed the so-called right guy to a f.t. spokesperson ronald glaser and asked him just how worrying it is to his members the meth just clear we know we're going to come for you this is some kind of disgusting kind of intimidation but he will not cave in you know with anybody in the party considering any extra security measures. will extra security measures. can be helpful but we did not have any party gathering any big party 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. is left of the traditional. which say never.

and never again year fifty years a clearly anti human this. is bring forward racist statements. she or even work together of context or militaristic fascist groups so we all the human list forces and actors in society have to step into evidence. resistance against the quality of. police in oxburgh are 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 anti fire 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. . america's ambassador to israel has been criticized this week after posing with a rather controversial gift david friedman was presented with an aerial image of jerusalem but the photograph have been altered to replace the islamic dome of the rock with the jewish the temple now the third temple that's a biblical reference to a new place of worship to replace an angel one that's been destroyed photo

immediately sparked fierce criticism from the muslim world some official said that it expressed quote rude and hypocritical behavior the u.s. embassy insisted that the envoy though was simply taken advantage of and then demanded an apology. friedman was not aware 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 controversy the u.s. policy is absolutely clear we support the status quo on the her arm al-sharif temple mount. well into the picture came an extremely sensitive time with the region shaken by violent anti israel protests hundred palestinians have been killed in just the last three months thousands more have been wounded and the situation worsened after the u.s. moved into jerusalem that was a step strongly opposed by palestinians both sides have long lasting statehood bid

for the city we discussed this latest development with our guests. this might provoke for the tensions it builds the rhetoric against the u.s. policies it would pressure governments to go in face of been against the interests of the united states and at the same time there would be protests which are already being organized for quite some time right now in territories over the two months we lost one hundred 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 that insensitivity that was corrected by the u.s. administration. russia host football's biggest event the fetal world cup in just over two weeks time and some suspect the moscow is resorting to the most unusual tactics to help the national team.

appreciate you staying with this evening if you're going to. bring it out of today . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race move his arms off and this very dramatic development the only place really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy

will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry suddenly i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a game still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that

mainstream media has met its maker. are. full of welcome to worlds apart as an all chinese fable has it out since its five years clash of our primacy and the monkey made him. merge 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 or should they try to influence the outcome of this fight to discuss

that i'm now joined by brahma to lenny professor off to teach 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 died 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 had the spare tense of a rules based order and what we're seeing is that pretense is falling in place of a rules based order what you have written is seeing is a based order. because both china and i states are doing aggressive you do not follow some america's defined. mira's trying i was assertive you know a lot from some so both believe in flouting international rules so in this

situation in a 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 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 that isn't that the case it is true but it's important to remember ohio this situation arose. this close economic interdependency between china and united states emerged from a cautious whois policy from the one nine hundred seventy s. onwards to aid china's economic crisis successive u.s. administrations have ended china's economic rise ever since

the one nine hundred sixty nine so with chinese border clashes there medical 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 townshend 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 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. spirit of kind 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 administration has been harder in 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 americans 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 plot 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 a 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 can actually increase. it's imports from the united states by more than two fault it can certainly but 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 and 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 gold to pursue 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 us 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 you had that wasn't successful do you have any concerns that this new way of deal making by lead 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 ground what we have written a saying is first the weakening of the w t o second more importantly they're

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 true exports and then it clinches a deal with it with the particular country a large large country to to secure preferential access to that country's market for its farmers so this kind of reading dealing is not

going to strengthen the global creating regime is going to further undercut its object and it's right out of t.v. 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 air boss 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 do it if i program buying technology products from the american market and this demand has not been vote office eyes and this is where the heart of the neck will see sions the negotiating strategy of the night states they are trying to get china to to stop subsidizing its underwriting this major technology initiative and instead by technology products from the u.s. in order to balance the bilateral trade because if the chinese want to buy major

technology products from the u.s. market that would be a much better sure way of cutting down the trade surplus than buying american farm produce which even if they bought all american from produce there would not be able to balance the trade to the satisfaction of the americans well i mr cellini and i think there could be a legitimate questions about the fairness of of such pressure because if china wants to develop a high tech industry i think it should be able to do so i mean all the countries india including russia including the united states including do you how you know interest is in the reach they see a potential but that my question to you is somewhat different i want to if you see any way of addressing the current balance in trade between china and the united states or between the united states and other countries in the.
