11:32 am

agreements with america's new users can the rest of the world avoid contracting british fictionists fever. this week it was officially announce that donald trump. will meet for the first official summit on the sixteenth of july in helsinki it comes after the us national security advisor john bolton visited moscow already and had talks with the russian president but as more goes to report in the week not everyone is happy about this forthcoming meeting. trump is acting strange stranger than usual he's being awful nice to russia getting along with russia is a good thing it's not
11:37 am
a bad night if. they can by itself the coup these sensitive might rub on the wrong way what he says next caused a storm he gave up crimea as lost. with. everything else we can preserve the gave up. that was certainly given up by. the media interpreted it as trump potentially willing to recognize crimea as russia now trump he'd be hounded out of office the same week but reacting to the summit visuals of the diplomatic. the fact the two presidents a meeting engage in insisting dialogue is something i support i believe it's time to talk shop because to the actions of a neighbor from state to state the pundits though showed no such restraint there in
11:38 am
meltdown we have no idea what kind of information donald trump will say just bragging to vladimir putin may give him the knock listen tell me all the spies are because they want to prove how tough he is the russians clearly showing that they are in the driver's seat on this race dangerous we saw the last time when the russians came in visit there at the white house where he gave away classified information that is not the way to approach a summit with president putin the way approach summit is to have done your homework and go in united in a way that doesn't play into the narrative that president xi and president putin the been working overtime to push that the president has played into that narrative in fairy very dangerous ways. from reasonable concern to outright tara but there could be another explanation for trump's behavior the known game trumps bluff but your buddy has to spend more money. to me bring.
11:39 am
something that would make the united states nato trump says his allies on spending enough trade trump says europe china have it too good he wants the changed things and no one's playing bull looking at the latest decisions of president. someone could see them saying bush went like that when you said that if we must be prepared. we will have to offer a low trumps a businessman but the thing is in these jeans and if you will pounce on being pals you need to get them in live and what better way than the fia than using big bad russia they get everyone to behave the fact is that
11:40 am
it's important for the leaders of these two countries to meet their wide range of issues despite the differences between us where at those present trump and president putin think they may be able to find constructive solutions i'd like to hear someone say that's a bad idea you said. i don't really address what i've written in the past or but i've said on television it's all out there right now on an advisor to president trump it's his agenda that we're pursuing and that's the agenda that i intend to advance and that john bolton amongst the most militant whole case u.s. politicians who said that russia's alleged meddling in the u.s. elections was an act of war look at it this way if trump's a russian agent he just. blew his cover if he isn't a russian spy he just fall the entire world and is likely to get all his misbehaving allies back and live. elsewhere the european

migrant crisis was in the headlines again in the week leaders of a blog gathered in brussels hoping to patch up relations and try to find a solution some of the founding members of the union have been locked in a bitter dispute over migration. and sister to tracy his response to the situation with aquarius is proof of a form of cynicism and a lack of responsibility on behalf of the italian government when faced with this dramatic humanitarian disaster. my duty is to defend the borders of this country which cannot become a refugee camp only those have the right to enter it's legal and it's their other posts they can go to spain france malta and the netherlands.

doorstep of europe regardless of how vulnerable they are all what horrors the a skate and measures that a few years ago were deemed unacceptable now are being called and talked so do you think that the e.u. is. spiraling down to the far right i'm just not the problem brides list the program is immigration. is a huge problem still but politicians and experts we have from the week of got mixed opinions on whether or not that someone in brussels was a success i think that it's important that we are rejecting attacks in a european that now that we are talking about these really are problems managed by you and agents young and i who am because it's important to give the going after
11:44 am
continue to. reach europe or in a safe and we don't wait for the matter of the agreement i would say it's too early to say that it's a victory because the expression of these that the agreement does not really solve the problems about that it takes time it's possible that the solution of the problems the e.u. . made is show of unity but if this show of unity became the e.u. and then in its sense because we are so many crisis for the one to two mask the fragmentation of the. special meeting of the international chemical weapons watchdog a wednesday ended with the organization having its powers extended speaking at the meeting british foreign safety bars jumps and stress of the o.p.c. doubly needs to have the power to assign guilt at present the p c w two
11:45 am
experts will say. where and when an attack happened but not who was responsible. if we are serious about upholding the ban on chemical weapons that gap must be a special session was initiated by the u.k. back in may against the background of the poisoning of a former russian double agent an alleged chemical attack in the syrian city of duma the draft has passed with all the e.u. delegations and their allies voting in favor of it russia reposed the move it says it violates the chemical weapons convention the very grave of the o.p.c. doubly was created to uphold. the organisation was a gross manipulated all kinds of tricks were used including mobilizing a small countries who don't have any representation in the playing for the travel expenses paying for the. hotel bills when the convention
11:46 am
is crossed over. i don't think you can you can really avoid the raising concern and we will try to review the situation but if because of this this decision couple of days ago would go to the regular growth rates of the purchase but if this is not . repealed. i believe the w. would be counted at least that would not remain as the universe of the meantime though the use pushing to enact new regulations as soon as possible several experts told us that the new powers put the o.p.c. devil at risk of becoming a political. as much as the o.p.c. w. needs to be respected and supported i think we have to we have to be very careful and there's got to be really it guarantees of objectivity an independent so it's not a political tool by one state or one group of states in the last several years we've
11:47 am
seen a situation in syria where they rely very heavily on witnesses who are provided to them by the opposition they don't person to evidence which contradicts the western claims so it's very valid to question the objectivity and independence of the o.p.c. w. this is about bypassing the security council isn't it. and it's pretty much dangerous to say the least in a sense should do the c.w. say pass a judgement that this is a culprit then we have a group of nations who can based upon such a resolution say we're going to go in and you know strike this country or boycott that country and so on and so forth without really needing to go to the security council in a sense this is in danger to. world peace and that coming up to one twenty eight muska time the sox new that's the way some of the world look this last week check out the big football later russia vespasian crocheted enjoy the best team win is
11:48 am
kevin always saying thanks for watching out team to national have a great sunday. night from any clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money. and spending to get the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else on the. because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great so one more transfer. and thinks this minute.
11:50 am
come on and welcome to the world the party free prayer and the reciprocal that's the vision of trade that their current american administration wants to implement but it's raising of tariffs and revision of all trade agreements when america sneezes can the rest of the world avoid catching the protectionist bieber well to discuss that i'm now joined by our band connect rare professor of economics at columbia university and a former indian chair part of the g. twenty summit professor and so good to talk to you thank you very much for your time. now professor you have long advocated against the imposition of tariffs and other protectionist measures you believe that india should decrease trade barriers in order to be more competitive but tariffs are not only and they cannot make matter they're also a political and a diplomatic tool when somebody slaps you with terrorists should you just turn the other cheek well it is a difficult. you know though. into balance. one
11:51 am
needs to also take into account the possibility of. protectionism happening against you so simply as. a matter of tactic you cannot sit back so you know if protection is being imposed on you at some point you do have to react but this is a balancing act roxana you know because your own parents also do hurt you and you don't want to carry it too far now i know that you have been a fairly complimentary of prime minister narendra modi after he has been of you and yet i suppose he went a little bit against your advice in reciprocating this american imposition of steel and aluminum tariffs with india's own duties on more than two dozen american goods do you think he could have done anything differently without. you know inviting more pushing from the american side but right now we're still awaiting what the
11:52 am
government has done is to identify these products on which it says that it imposed there is somewhere in july so before that there is a standard oil dialogue to happen between india and the united states so i still hope that you know this type of counter kind of interrogation will bring both sides to actually a bit more same position in which neither side will actually take their action remember that china is talking of retaliation europe is talking of retaliation any of the united says them countering retaliate and particularly the fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods on risk the u.s. is saying it's going to impose tariffs i think that really is going to impact the trading system in a major it because that also goes against many of the novelty rules so this is the game turn ugly i understand what you're saying. but you know what's also
11:53 am
interesting to me is how the trumpet ministration is trying to frame this trade war because they certainly don't do not see themselves as protectionist in fact commerce secretary wilbur ross described the imposition of these tariffs as quote fixing the protectionism around the world and they seem to believe that there are acting against protectionist on the part of india on the part of china do you think they genuinely believe in that and do they have a point but this is certainly not. the long standing. by the united states a thing that longstanding practice by the united states has been to challenge the countries in the w.t. all or us or the mainstream deals liberalization in walking off the national security clause in the rules. as not been done for a very long time i think you know and also in the various officials have made their
11:54 am
statements. there's a clear sense that this is not purely a national security issue so i personally think that this is contrary to the longstanding u.s. pressure and therefore this is a new game. but professor i think you were agree with me that president trump is unorthodox in many ways and one of these ways is that he actually seems to be banned on implementing his complaint promises and i think you wrote an article about that previously you know a number of administrations would suggest something on the campaign trail but then would quietly back away from that this is not what mr trump thinks he's doing and i wonder if you believe he has what it takes in terms of the character in terms of the presidential powers in terms of the time left in office to actually change the global trade system in dramatic ways. if we if he continues on.
11:55 am
current parts. then i think what we would do to this trading system is strongly damage it in a major way and then the question really begins to get to them is does happen will we be in a position to repair it back sometime. at least in the medium term to longer term in the administration of the united states it's of teens it's because ultimately remember that the united states is the country of it. give the lead in establishments of the current multilateral trading system and so this is a huge backtracking by the united states absolutely and i don't know if you've heard that but over the past few days there have been multiple rumors about trump supposedly. floating a possibility of walking away from world trade organization all together now i just before i went to the studio i heard the denial of doubt by year's treasury secretary steven minucci even though he did admit that the administration does have
11:56 am
concerns about the way w.t.f. is structured and how it is supposedly being used against the united states do you take it this possibility seriously do you think the united states under this administration could actually abandon the w.t. altogether but you know this is difficult to speculate. i would only say that i hope not i think this is not going to do a lot of good to anybody at all and least of all the united states because. dimity the united states. if it. created this system its oil huge benefit not just for the rest of the can but also for itself i mean in the end remember that you know from a poor second world war the united states gave them leave and really kind of created this very video and one trading system which we have to be saw it's going to be you know news. proposition now when president trump talks about trade he
11:57 am
doesn't only talk about it being free and fair he talks about it being reciprocal in searching this bilateral symmetrical calculus to what has been a multilayered and highly asymmetrical system of global trade do you think free and reciprocal can really core exist when it comes to you know trading around the planet you know sun on the process b. has been a part of our system trading system since the beginning of the get in nineteen forty seven and afterwards but reciprocity was always used in the sense of that even liberalism a trade if you liberal lazio's and sorious a prosody was used to liberal a stream and this is a process we had a bit of a relaxed element that you know i did not go back and one for one completely but now it is being turned on its head you know and my view of that process did lead to
11:58 am
a huge amount of liberalisation by everyone the developing countries came on board a little later but they certainly came on board and you know the developing countries today are incredibly open perhaps less open then the united states but certainly in over them is quite a when actually so but now they have turned it around and we are saying that. if your parents are higher than mine then i am going to reverse my past liberalization which i had actually done in response to your liberalization and that is a different game you know so this was the exactly the opposite of the spirit of this a process b. as we have used in the past now so far trump has been able to get his way partially due to his bare knuckle tactics do you think there is any leverage that the rest of the world has when negotiating trade with this very pushy america is still carries a huge dad could that be used as a tool of persuasion. well part of the opposition really also has to come from
11:59 am
within the united states all saw because you know when you talk of let's esteem an aluminum dairy of the member of industries that use both steel and aluminum and in so far as. their costs of production are concerned they have not gone up countries also need to be you know more tactical. you know that. the. human and steve that is announced the. reactions of countries were to seek exemptions but instead i think you know the one they have to squarely the end of the gulf is star seeking exemptions for individually for themselves they have to work and they do leak and of work against the imposition of that is themselves pressure has to come in more from. the industrial side particularly getting the u.s. industry is to begin to respond is very the damage they are actually getting and
12:00 pm
will have down the road from the u.s. tariffs now i merican like to say that every cloud has a silver lining and i suppose in this case they may be quite a number of them i know that there is a lot of happiness or grievances when it comes to china its economic behavior not only in asia but in other parts of the world i wonder if you believe the american trade stance on on china may create any collateral advantages either for india or perhaps for others. i mean in principle you could argue that. if this leads. to the speeding up of china in drawing from certain markets because remember the medically with the read is raising in china china is already been drawing from certain markets particularly the labor intensive products not any protectionist. measures by the united states can lead to a speedy withdrawal of china.
