seven meeting coming up in canada up there later this week and it looks like a number of the finance ministers are pretty hot on making their view views known early ahead of time before they even sit down at the table what what can you tell us well there's a pre summit meeting going on right now in whistler british columbia and that's where these finance chiefs are and they're making it loud and clear that they are not happy with the united states of america now that's not something that you usually see at the jesus a g. seven summit the member nations going after another one but this time around they're saying not only is the united states basically destabilizing the global economy but it's also an affront to the alliance itself basically you know reducing its power making it look bad to the world so this is something that they're taking very seriously and obviously this comes right at the heels of these steel and aluminum tariffs that have been imposed on canada the e.u. and mexico so these countries are ready to fight back and that's what they're doing
7:13 am
canada has announced its own tariffs against the u.s. and so as a u.n. mexico is talking about it too and you know what this is the bottom line here i mean this might be just a game to donald trump and it is a ministration but people are going to get hurt in all of this and it's not just going to be people outside of the united states tariffs or tariffs and that's taxation in a sense in your own country gets probably products from another country so you're looking at something like for example this or great example cheesily when you think about cheese wisconsin is a massive producer of cheese down fifty seven percent of wisconsin cheese exports go to mexico so if mexico is putting tariffs against cheese from wisconsin who's going to get hurt here it's going to be farmers in wisconsin so this is the issue at hand right now we're seeing this back and forth and we know that donald trump i know we've talked about this before he really likes to push things to the limit and it's he seems that he's doing this there's a few days here that things still can work out but you know i didn't expect him to go far this far in. i'm sure

in the news this morning president putin heads to vienna on his first official trip since beginning his fourth term in office ahead of the visit had a fiery interview with an austrian t.v. channel this is just a little bit of critique if you look for the quickest way if you see a specific. things you could hit him with i think all of this is that it's a this is a. couple of two germany's chancellor is accused of turning a blind eye to corruption in the country's refugee agency. america's former top spy justifies the u.s. intervention in florida election saying it's being done for the good of the people we analyze the facts behind that statement and this morning. at the next mission
7:21 am
the international space station prepares for launch we're at the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan ahead of the big lift off. my good morning my name is kevin zero in this is our two international thanks for joining us for this tuesday's are the latest live update first on president putin's to make his first international trip after reelection is expected in austria later today where he's due to meet with the chancellor sebastian kurtz senior correspondent were explains the importance of the meeting. there is a wind of change blowing through europe or perhaps just a breeze but on the eve of blood to me of putin's visit here to vienna the austrian vice chancellor comes out and calls for an end the sanctions the sanctions have damaged our austrian economy above all else and i've always warned against pushing
7:22 am
russia into the arms of china is high time to end these painful sanctions and normalize political and economic relations with russia not exactly shocking a lot these days what are the odds. chancellor himself came out and called the u.s. and reliable in that regard making up with russia might counterbalance things such as friends allies washington imposing tariffs on european goods a move that essentially began a trade war. so now we will also impose import tariffs this is basically stupid process the fact that we have to do this but we have to do it we will now impose tariffs on harley davidson motorcycles on levis blue jeans and borgen we can also do stupid we also have to be this stupid the logic here is that by normalizing relations with russia europe would be better able to deal with washington the idea
7:23 am
is that the united states would behave itself properly we also need russia to solve problems i mean we exclude russia from the g eight now the problem is that the u.s. is following a policy the other six do not want perhaps russia's return to the g. eight would be a counterbalance and allow for counter policy but politicians say whatever suits them doesn't always translate into action it seldom does if anything and it's difficult to imagine that gargantuan and ponderous european machine changing tracks overnight or it used to be difficult to imagine we have to reconnect before i'm not very happy about the state of all relations books or getting our differences on this but. bush opposition has to be brought to him and. u.s. e.u. relations have taken some major blows recently trump's decision to ditch the iran
7:24 am
nuclear deal was slammed by european signatories and the relocation of the u.s. embassy in israel to jerusalem also cause big consternation austrian freedom party m.p. your home is sold us that russia and europe on the other hand have some common interests these days. as well as far do you know exactly what the game is the american game in europe and what is in the advantage of austria and what is against austrian interests they know this and the know we have no conflict of interest at all with russia europe has no conflict of interest at all was russia the only conflict is an american russian conflict and this is leverage through europe so everyone knows to steer clear from being used by a certain non european power against russia is against their interest so that's what they know the only question is now. far they will dare to
7:25 am
go what allies they will find in europe. ahead of his visit to vienna president putin spoke to an austrian t.v. channel that interview was so far in fact some points that putin even had a switch to german to get a word in. that's the spirit in the recipient you go through three to me to my tomorrow to your first official ticklish we're going to take that risk of the boom middle of the dreaded loop when your screen mitsu didn't work like it seems like it's making it and thinking this causes cancer thing to get a new president alyssa's used to it was a couple of his i thought yes he's just a scoundrel but before you can see that you know yourself just a few years ago just because you will just go with it he said in the i'm so very tired of the thoughts of you and i learned i mean how did you know. just about me in the road somewhere few to do with i'm going to do it of a person is what they told me interview puta did manage to touch on some important topics like the north korea crisis she also gave a detailed reply to accusations of russian meddling in the us presidential
7:26 am
elections in twenty six states. because you just said that mr proposing is referred to as putin's chef and indeed that is his job he is a restaurant owner in st petersburg because but do you really think that a person who is in the restaurant business even if this person has some hacking opportunities and owns a private firm in this field could use it to sway elections in the united states or european country could it be that the media and political standards in western countries have reached such a low level that a russian restaurant owner can sway voters in the european country or the united states isn't that ridiculous. that if you spoke with a she wouldn't there is such a person in the united states mr soros who interferes in affairs all over the world and i often hear from my american friends that america as a state has nothing to do with his activities i mean there are rumors circulating
7:27 am
now that mr soros is planning to make the euro highly volatile experts are already discussing this ask the state department why he is doing this the state department will say that it has nothing to do with these activities rather it is mr soros private affair with us it is mr precocious private affair this is my answer are you satisfied with it was that. there's a limit on it i do not even want to think about it it is a dreadful thought i think this road the road towards the denuclearization of north korea should be a two way road if the north korean leader is backing up his intentions with practical actions for example giving up new tests of ballistic missiles new nuclear tests then the other side should reciprocate in a tangible manner and in this connection i consider it counterproductive to continue military activities military exercises and everything that is related to
7:28 am
this i very much hope that the situation will move forward in a positive way. and you think you've seen it it is not our aim to divide anything or anybody in europe on the contrary we want to see a knighted and prosperous european union because the european union is our biggest trade and economic partner the more problems there are within the european union the greater the risks and uncertainties for us the mere fact that our trade with the european union countries has dropped by half from over four hundred billion to two hundred fifty billion speaks for itself why do we need to see a further drop why rock the european union in order to suffer further losses and incur costs or miss possible benefits from cooperation with the european union on the contrary we need to increase cooperation with the european union if we work at all or work more intensively with some than with others we proceed from purely
7:29 am
pragmatic considerations. if you just said that there is proof accepted by everyone that assad used chemical weapons well not by everyone our experts think differently for example let's look at the alleged chemical attack in the city of door models the reason given for missile strikes against syria look the syrian troops liberated that area but we immediately suggested to our partners that the o.p.c. w. commission go there it is a un unit the organization for prohibition of chemical weapons but instead of waiting one or two days and allowing the commission to work on the site a missile attack was launched on syria tell me please is this the best way to ensure the objective of t. of what happened there i do not think so i think it was an attempt to create conditions that would make it impossible to investigate thoroughly that is what it
7:30 am
was what we just said that there is proof militants used chemical substances who punished them have they received any punishment did the coalition an attack them immediately i did not see anything like that because. of the news this morning germany's refugee agency is being investigated for corruption that's accused of offering asylum for bribes chancellor merkel's now also been dragged into the scandal with claims that she was aware of the problems but did nothing to reform the organization our europe correspondent peter all over picks up a story for you. as the cash for asylum investigation into the german federal office for migration and refugees all on speed public focus has turned to the german chancellor angela merkel and what she knew about the agency's problems its former head frank here didn't face gave an interview to a leading german sunday tabloid which he said he held.
