not being a free market china's getting rich by following the exact same policy that made america rich and germany rich and other industrial countries by having a mixed economy where the government provides most of what's their own externalities transportation costs communication boss education costs water sewage all of these are in america the infrastructures. it is being prototypes to increase the cost comes next best. increases the cost of doing business in the financial eyes of the me alone let me jump in because as an interesting points in other words if you have the infrastructure like roads hospitals education these types of parts of the economy that add to the aggregate gross domestic product and intangible ways and tangible ways of while allowing the free market to exist and things like computers and soft drinks and you know things that are commercially competing out there you end up with this mixed economy and the best of both worlds but in america and also in britain you have now the privatization of things like transportation a runway it becomes vastly more expensive it doesn't work. i

the statement that we just heard the chancellor make how much of a departure is this for germany a chance america calling islam on equivocally a part of germany it's not a departure in fact she's picking up on the sentence that has been uttered by successive german presidents there he clearly but it has been the subject of debate recently within her own party as you mentioned germany's new interior minister who comes from the area and sister party of chancellor angela merkel's christian democrats he has essentially been playing the populist card of islamophobia in recent weeks and a member of the chancellor's own party has also used some similar phrases and she is clearly sending a message to these members of her party saying you need to get in line she went on to say after the remark we just heard that in fact it will be a central aim of her government to promote the ability of the different cultures and religions to live together in tolerance and peace all right now the chancellor has been dogged by her handling of the refugee crisis back in twenty fifteen what policies are we going to see goin

germany. down, spd turns it america has run out of options and germany is headed truly into uncharted territorymost likely happen, the most talked about scenario at that point is that america will try to be elected -- merkel will be elected by the lower house as chancellor of a minority government, something germany has never had since world war ii, and this would be a prelude to another election in be fall where the hope would that this would somehow be sorted out. although people suggest the result would be roughly the same. -- the polls suggest the result would be roughly the same. mark: you have a busy weekend. get more on the german vote and what is happening in italy with adam posen of the peterson institute of -- and former boe policymaker. some suggesting the german vote is a bigger risk. >> i think it is. the italian political system for worse is set up to be deadlocked and they are accustomed to having governments that do not function. i am not making a joke, they are adapted to it. germany was set up to have this three party system with one party swinging between the cdu and spd. hav

which is america germany's top customer and that is part of the problem the trade gap last year was two hundred forty four point seven billion euros in germany's favor u.s. president donald trump has cited that imbalance on many occasions and he is riding on a wave of domestic support for his arsenal as news policies is this isn't a slap tires on aliment him and still is a reaction to that in a worst case scenario european cars could be next so how will the new secretary of state influence trade policy and what can germany do to improve relations regulations with an increasingly hostile white house questions are discussed with german said i'm a senior fellow at the peterson institute for international economics in washington and first asked him why markets reacted with a drop to the announcement of to lessons departure. well i i would think that these two factors that played a role in first of all there was of course a surprise in them and in the sack you know it took us all of it by surprise and that's reflected in the market reaction why do this now when the pres

he doesn't consider islam to be a part of germany well he added that the muslims who live with us are of course part of the country is a boss a chance america doesn't agree. germany's new interior minister rejects criticism of his remark that although muslims who live here have a place in germany islam does not. our country has been culturally influenced by christianity for hundreds of years so. that's why it is wrong to say that islam belongs to germany. and. chancellor angela merkel disagrees and she very quickly and publicly slap down her interior minister and party ally inspiration even if you mean you are in the four million muslims who currently live in germany practiced their religion. and they belong here just as much as their religion does. and i thought. germany's new justice minister offered a reminder that freedom of religion is strictly protected in the constitution. mention times i mean i think people are tired of these theoretical discussions about terminology it's clear to everyone that we need practical solutions to our problems i hope we can agree that our value system encompasses everyone's basic rights. the central counc

here in germany chance for america has started work as head of a new coalition government she took the oath of office in the german parliament the bundestag but lawmakers voted only narrowly to reach elected to a fourth term. the german chancellor has been trying to form a government for nearly six months now the tough negotiations are over anglo american took an oath on the german constitution ishmael them i swear that i will dedicate my efforts to the welfare of the german people promote their benefit protect them from harm and do justice to will so help me god so volumnia what. her election as chancellor was closer than expected matters conservative and social democrat supporters actually had a solid majority but her margin of victory was only nine votes including her own thirty five members of her coalition fav to support her that's hardly a dream start. or dr i'm going to america dr angela merkel has been elected chancellor i ask you do you accept the result you have because if yes mr president i do thank you with that america was officially elected to a fourth term miss chancello

at the united nations, america, germany, france, canada and australia all offered support to britain.aying it wants to see firm proof of russian involvement before deciding on any course of action. here's the uk's deputy ambassador to the un, jonathan allen. a weapon so horrific that it is banned from use in war was used in a peaceful city in my country. this was a reckless act, carried out by people who disregard the sanctity of human life, who are indifferent to whether innocents are caught up in their attacks. they either did not care that the weapon used would be traced back to them, or mistakenly believed that they could cover their traces. russian officials and media channels have repeatedly threatened those they consider traitors, even after the 4 march attack. that prompted a lengthy reply from the russian ambassador. here's part of it. translation: we were given an ultimatum and required — requested in 2a hours to admit that we committed a crime. in other words, confess. we do not speak the language of ultimatums, we do not use that language with anyone, and we will not allow

america, germany and francejoin britain in blaming russia for the salisbury nerve agent attack as theke news — the task set to thousands of pupils across the country for bbc school report. coming up on sportsday on bbc news... gareth southgate names four uncapped players in his 27—man squad for england's pre—world cup friendlies against the netherlands and italy. microplastics — they're tiny pieces of plastic small enough to be ingested by the human body. now the world health organisation is launching a review into the potential risks of microplastics after researchers found hundreds, even thousands of the tiny particles in many major brands of bottled water. at the moment there is no evidence that microplastics can harm human health as our science editor, david shukman reports. in the latest research into plastic, more than 200 bottles of water were put through a screening process. most turned out to have particles of plastic floating around inside. there is no evidence this is harmful but we asked people around the world what they think of this discovery. this phenomenon is really a

imagine there will be some strong statements as of course the initial statement from france germany and then america was fairly strong we had a weaker statement on monday from the e.u. so i think we will probably will stick say a couple of more strong statements expressing solidarity and so on but again i do not convinced that there will be much concrete action certainly not at the moment in terms of say sanctions broader sanctions what about the technicalities of the whole process and how things should have been dealt with in this situation the u.k. says that it's worked in accordance with the p c w rules the russians so they haven't who do you think is is in the right here. well i think the british government's reaction and behavior has been absolutely appalling now of course a serious crime has been committed as far as we know in that scruple and his daughter seem to have been poisoned but beyond that we really don't know much of what we have seen from the british government is a terrible rush. to condemn russia actually in the absence of evidence and it's very interesting may has consistently sa

the big nato powers, germany, britain, america, they are distracted at the moment. l has her own problems with the coalition in germany, and of course, britain is focused on brexit. i wonder if there are mixed messages in the united states when it comes specifically to russia. we heard from adam rogers speaking to congress the other day. he said the president directed him to retaliate, so president directed him to retaliate, soi president directed him to retaliate, so i wonder if the pentagon thinks, what are we supposed to do when we see these russian threats? yeah, there are plenty of people on capitol hill, especially democrats and republicans, too, that would argue the united states has already been under attack from russia, not ina been under attack from russia, not in a conventional sense, but through cyber during the cause of the election, and the president hasn't nearly been tough enough in his rhetoric, at least, towards vladimir putin because of that. since the end of the second world war, free trade has been linked to global prosperity and peace. today, do

e exports to the us cause machines chemical products and other goods made in germany are popular around the world but america is germany's top customer and that is the problem the trade gap last year was two hundred forty four point seven billion euros in germany's favor us president only trump has complained about that imbalance a lot on many occasions and he is riding on a wave of domestic support for his. policies is this just decision to slap tariffs on a minimum and still is a reaction to that and worst case scenario european cars could be next so is lots to talk about with me in the studio as you know instead of my own he's a senior fellow at the peterson institute for international economics in washington welcome to the studio first of all wall street an asian markets reacted with losses to the sucking off to listen why is that. well i would think they had these two factors that played a role in first of all there was of course surprise of them and in the sacking nor took us all a bit by surprise and that's reflected in in a market reaction why do this now when the president has and full with other is

because of course it is the big economic player in europe and perhaps germany being lenient on russia is simply because until america remains the really the only western leader who can still talk with putin and understand him i mean that's one take there's another take on this today this tweet from the leader of germany's biggest opposition party d.f.t. i want to pull that up for you there it is a german ellis translated it. here's what's beatrix and stuart said are we really that stupid why don't we expel turkish diplomats but no instead of that we reward dictator ever one with his own e.u. turkey's ahmet and we escalate further towards russia ok that's the language we expect to hear from the saw i mean but. does she have a point there. yeah and incidentally it's not just the politicians on the far right who have been calling this an escalation left wing politicians have been saying the same thing today along the lines that you know these expulsions just ramp up the atmosphere and they are that make the situation more confrontational and more dangerous with russia so that is of course one way of looking at it but i

gulf with a sense of deja vu competing with the feeling that this is it today and to the america became germany's chancellor for the fourth time taking the oath of office just as she has done three times before and of course with her famous holding of the hands there now merkel took office back in two thousand and five a lot of leaders have come and gone since then take a look at who was in power or had just been elected when merkel first took that oath as chancellor if you look at france for example it was ceroc who was president then there was the prime minister tony blair in the u.k. george w. bush was the u.s. president turkey's president at the time was richard tie a better one ellen johnson sirleaf was africa's first elected leader she was president elect at the time in the vatican pope benedict the sixteenth was still there and in russia there was vida reputing as president and in iran mahmoud ahmadinejad most of them are history now today thirteen years later merkel is still leading she has outlasted almost every head of state except for two noticeable min vladimir putin and turkey's rect

towards at least it seems towards germany i'm not saying that he is not a friend of germany but the relationship with america has not been warm and fuzzy and it hasn't changed either since he's been president why do you think it's that way i think we hear a consistent assurance as the most lady of the security conference that everything is going the traditional way that we have another list is wrong but but the big question with which everyone left the munich security governments how much can we rely on that that's right how difficult is it to reconsider what we hear in this conversations what we read in presidential tweets what we read in the national security strategy of published in december what we read what we read in the in the make muscle cohen op ed in the wall street journal back in may eight i think it seems to be that there is a very fundamental difference in the view of the world in terms of this and a global list perspective. i'm less worried that we would have major. splits over some core security issues as far as your was to fit in a tool that i think is still very much over eighteen well. but
