sharp words from jean—claude juncker. sharp words from jean—claude juncker. he sharp words from jean—claude juncker. initially, i thought he was picking himself up and saying, how do you not come to hear me speak but what he was saying was, you should pay respect to smaller countries. —— bigging himself up. malta was meant to be giving a resume of what they have achieved during their six months, from that point of view, he has a point. the president of the parliament was far from impressed, and he said, no, no, he told him to moderate his language, withdraw the remark about the parliament being useless and not serious. they got into a very multilingual spat, spraying between french, english and italian, quite heated it was. all in the context of who has influence over the major issues for the eu, whether it is brexit, common defence policy, the migrant crisis. you heard jean—claude juncker say very clearly, it is true, the commission is under the control of the parliament. but, does that happen in practice? i am parliament. but, does that happen in practice?

>> leaders are poised and waiting to act according to jean-claude juncker. a statement has been prepared so they can move to oppose this. the european union can an act a regulation which moves to block any move regarding companies from outside. in this case, the united states. this would have to be approved each member state which could be a lengthy process regarding different views in terms of the annexation of crimea. the european union does have the option of taking its complaint to the world trade organization. this can be a lengthy process. >> this has to be music to the heirs of moscow. i want to bring in our washington correspondent. good evening to you. how is this playing out in washington? is this on washington's radar? >> to be honest, it is not. there is a lot in the news happening now. this vote did not go totally unnoticed. it did pass the house of representatives by a vote of 419 to three. it's unlikely to not pass the senate. these are vetoproof margins, which means even if president trump or to veto this bill, it would fly well again when it

in a moment, we'll see what provoked jean claude juncker to get involved in a war of words inside thea claiming its latest missile test gives it the capacity to strike anywhere in the world. david slinn was britain's first ambassador to north korea between 2002 and 2006, he's now at the centre for international policy studies at the university of ottawa. my colleaguejane hill asked him if these claims came as a surprise. north korea's pursuit of nuclear capability and missile capability to go with it are long—standing objectives, the regime has been pursuing it for several decades, generations, in fact. pursuing it for several decades, generations, infact. has pursuing it for several decades, generations, in fact. has been making steady progress. what we have seen making steady progress. what we have seen today probably represents a further step forward in that process. once the data has been analysed it may turn out to be quite analysed it may turn out to be quite a big step forward. the fact this has happened on july four, a big step forward. the fact this has happened onjuly four,

the eu commission president jean—claude juncker said they brought "unintended unilateral effects that's energy security interests" and warned that if these concerns aren't acknowledged, the eu will "stand ready to act appropriately within a matter of days". here's jasmine taylor—coleman on why the eu has taken this position. the eu says it supports sanctions on russia. the annexation of crimea from the ukraine in 2014 and allegations of russian interference in the us election. the problem is when it starts to harm the economic interests of eu countries, especially germany. germany is powerful within the eu and it is involved in building a natural gas pipeline from russia to germany. germany doesn't like the idea that its companies can be harmed by some of these us objections, they may have limited access to us banks if they keep working with russia. germany says the us does not have the right to tell other countries with whom to do business and they say that the us is using economic sanctions to impose their own industrial policy on other parts of the world. that's the opinion of the

it was the reason of humorous exchange between jean—claude juncker and myself when i last saw him.e 27, actually very little of what happens here percolates across. let me give you an example. i remember talking to the austrian foreign secretary, who is turning into a very good friend of mine, and we were talking about... this was about two months ago, and we were talking about the issue of the citizens‘ rights, and i explained what we wanted to do, and he said, "well, you'd better come to austria and say that, because nobody in austria knows this." lady armstrong turned to what she saw as another area of disagreement within government. the discussion that we have heard within government around a transitional agreement, or implementation period, whatever you like to call it, has varied enormously. between the chancellor talking about no cliff edge, and therefore really raising the question of single market and customs union membership continuing, whereas others say something very different. where do you think that stands? you'll find... i mean, leave aside the briefings, which i ca

. >>> let's listen to come of the comments coming from eu's jean-claude juncker. he said an eu trade agreement with japan shows we're not putting out protectionist walls. he also goes on to say that the eu will respond adequately if the u.s. takes punitive trade measures on steel what is the word on protectionism at the g20? >> of course that is a non-negotiable area for the german government. they are pro free trade, anti protectionist measures that's a clear spat with the united states, at least in its current situation. so i think that will ab very tough topic. everybody is very interested in con vinvincing donald trump tha it's also bad for the united states if he was to put up protectionist measures against certain products like steel from europe, like autos from germany. so you see, we're just having that article in the "the financial times" where they really name the -- the european side is naming certain articles and products where there would be tariffs levied, like bourbon, orange juice i think this is a threat now coming out, just ahead of that meeting.

jean-claude juncker is the former prime minister of luxembourg, does he have a point that very ofteney for position? he does. one of the commission ‘sjobs for position? he does. one of the commission ‘s jobs is to look after the interests of all member states, big and small. he went out of the way to say that if it was angela merkel they would queue at the back door to get in. just because it is a small country you need to show a bit more respect. it was a little bit of handbags and the president of the parliament snapped back and said you don't control us, we control years. explain the parameters, he said it wouldn't come again and through his toys out of the pram but where was the distinction on whether the power lines like? the president of the parliament was referring to that parliament has the ability to sack commissioners. it can get rid of commissioners. it can get rid of commissioners in extremis, and it has to approve the commission so in a sense parliament is the oversight over the commission rather than vice ve rsa . over the commission rather than vice versa. said this wa
