every investment, the chinese make in europe, angers the u. s. and exacerbates the standoff between the u. s. and china. francesco perisi has decided on a partner to help trying to expand not china, but a european investor. the port of hamburg he stresses that this is a purely economic calculation. but he doesn't deny that political factors also played a role or easy remembers the cold war. and it's worried about any new confrontation, this rotational situation ended. it was of another cold war method of concern for me personally. and for my business in general for me in general. it also is it as a, as a citizen of the european union, we can see that international trade for sure. bridge. we can see that to be helpful to keep them and paid peace. the debate about the role europe will play and the trade war between the u. s. and china is nothing new and is not limited to the economy you bad. i hope to some european leadership because if not, europe risks becoming china. us saying that instead of laura can be the 3rd key player in the global arena.

it's the perfect gateway to europe. over the last few years, the chinese have turned periods into the biggest port in the mediterranean. and they're planning to make it the biggest port in europe, pledging $600000000.00 euros of additional investment in the next few years. again, me think i can make i was born and raised in prayer me for years. and i love him of amendment. i have felt connected with to see in the school since i was small before you me this place will be on now is important to medical meadows, not only for its charm and atmosphere. now it's designed to tow it up. but because it's a pop, open access to the c particle and the supposed to failure. and because it was managed to keep it that way remotely, tracy understands the francis khaki believes that the old port area belongs to the cities residence and has long been campaigning to get them access to it again. she's the left wing, threes of parties, maritime policy spokeswoman. that is skeptical about the chinese commitment. she believes massive investmen

, because i think a, a, europe of nation states would likely return in europe to, into war levels of dysfunction and economic misery. well, that's a very strong statement there, alan. how do you feel about that? because that is the charge that we've, you know, and it was all around the briggs that debate here is that the, that brussels wants too much power. and it is trying to one size fits all. i mean, that was at least the claims that were made by the briggs. it tears ok. now i ask you, did they learn anything from it? because there are, there are, we've all agreed on this program is that your skepticism is on the rise. what is exactly means is very unclear to me because it seems to me, it is more of a demand for reform and not to got the entire project. go ahead, allen. well, i do understand the letter being signed by the circle populace parties. life view is that the bull you integrate, the less efficient it becomes gross becomes less, most of its major policies of fail, the years fail, europe stagnate and do this since the year was introduced, the italian economies patent studen

they don't want to be the leaders of europe.hey don't want to interfere with other people's business because of the terrible history of the third reich. and i think that germany is bound to be a political bar and it's got to accept the responsibility of its own power, but it's people don't want to and it's politicians see no votes in that kind of policy. so you have reports of the german air force certainly has ten planes or whatever it is these various reports came out about the fact the german armed forces have been allowed to run down until they are practically nil. >> this has been a great >> well, this is been a great discussion. i greatly appreciated you joining us, or festive tunes. are as i say one of the great treasures of the world. i really believe that. the english and the people is spectacular. i hope we can host you hear personally at aei sometime in the future. to all our listeners thank you for joining us and i think we will sign off now. thank you very much. >> thank you very much for asking me. thank you for yo

and i think that's actually the majority of citizens in europe. they are very worried about the migration issues starting from this that why people all have to leave data that homeland in the sunsets. it's very human and in lots of cases human tragedy. so that i guess the majority of people in europe in distance don't want to see that people will have to leave their homes and start the life of g. i'm only about to say, yes, miss denied. perhaps the most young, disappointing aspect which human rights groups are underlined last month is how the e u has failed to safeguard people against serious human rights violations at its external borders. the spotlight has fallen on the border agency front, tx, which is accused by human rights watch of failing repeatedly to take action of allegations of human rights violations. that's a serious issue, isn't it? it's, it's supposed deep hold lines in the values that all men to countries were supposed to sign up to have been a major disappointment for you. why the, for me, the big disappointment actually is that w

what about in europe?s there any movement from governments in europe and aiding vaccines for federal workers? naomi: europe is never monolithic. there are different discussions in different places. in greece, there have been some mandates that have not happened here in germany, where i am. i think that politicians generally speaking are starting to warm to the idea of nudging people towards vaccination a little more strongly. it is also worth noting that after a slow start due to lack of supply, europe has actually caught up to the u.s. in terms of first doses of vaccine. alix: 100%, while we are really hitting a wall in the u.s. thank you very much for joining us, bloomberg's naomi kresge. coming up, let's take a look at how this all impacts the market. it is a very busy week of earnings in europe. a lot of the regions big banks -- the region's big banks. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> if you look in the second quarter, you will see volumes going up. you should look everywhere in europe as well. look at france.

europe and china?urope and the rest of the world as we start to see europe doing what it wants to do, imposing carbon border taxes and trying to set the rules? judy: we are going to see complex. interestingly, china realizes the problem. the europeans have a problems with china and chancellor merkel knows that climate change is a concern. but frankly, if europe wants to have this, they cannot do it without extending a globally. it is extremely complicated and we are going to have lots of tension with all the more reason for dialogue. europe cannot be an island on this issue. alix: hang tight with us, you are sticking with us and up next we will talk about president joe biden and angela merkel signaling those warmer times for the two countries. but nord stream 2 is still front and center. this is bloomberg. ♪ alix: live from new york. i'm alix steel with guy johnson. this is the european close. president joe biden and german chancellor angela merkel are signaling warmer ties between their countries whil

goldman sachs, positive on europe at the moment. does europe outperform the united states?if we are going to see bond yields coming lower? hannah: a lot of europe is geared toward cyclical areas of the market. it is focused on the proper economic recovery. what we have seen particularly in the last few days when we have seen these fires cases increase we have seen those parts of the market start to fall back. with the u.s. 10 year bond yields coming down lower that could be a good environment for growth stocks in the u.s. to outperform. that is a large part of the market there. europe was leading until about two weeks ago, when the u.s. overtook it. if the delta variant keeps growing, we could see further weakness in europe and it could be an environment where the u.s. may continue to outperform. guy: thank you, hannah gooch-peters, global equity investment analyst at san lam investments. at the top of the agenda in venice, the global minimum. we are going to hear from the secretary-general next. this is bloomberg. guy: welcome back. this is the european close. the g20 fina

and across europe so it is pretty good.ross 27 different countries in europe then we see a relatively strong demand and bounceback, which is not to be unexpected. we have seen what happened for example in the united states where domestic flying in the u.s. is now, talking to my colleagues's there, ahead of where it was pre-pandemic. that pent-up demand is finding its way back in looking's. -- bookings. rishaad: fuel prices. how are you dealing with a higher oil price right now? how are you hedging and what price have you hedged at for aviation fuel? neil: a little bit more cautious in our hedging. we are 60% hedge. the current financial year is 506 $25 a metric ton which is below the -- this morning. we are 35% hedged into next year, close to $600 a ton, so we are cautiously putting some cover in place. we are well hedged when it comes to carbon, 100% hedged as opposed to 50%. a lot of our competitors are not hedging at this point in time so from a -- we are in a somewhat better position than the rest of the market. manus:

and i think also there risks for the rest of europe have been much, much larger. and where you mentioned romania pull, gary, i, which are one of the freshest the member states. well, but with all mother stay, look at my own country. estonia. if i look back 30 or 25 years, and if i think about the stone today, i still think that it has been a great achievement of europe that well, they took estonia and, and we managed to showing. and if you look at all the changes, but of course it takes time because all what happened with this particular countries in eastern europe, they didn't happen that we didn't couple of years. they happened. we didn't half a century 50 years of hope to say wrong history. and now to imagine that they were to think and they fixed within a couple of years. well, it's illusion, but it won't happen, but it will take time. mr. pie, how worried you about the news this week? the parties of the far right have formed an alliance against brussel, saying they'll fight for what they call national sovereignty and tried to prevent a european state be 16 pa

to africa, and from africa to europe. but jews and also muslims were expound from spain in 1492 by non sick. and then after the 2nd world war, many hundreds of thousands of jews travelled from north africa back to europe. and also israel, not putting it on the file. it goes back to the old testament, if you want to look at, it meant the logically and this whole aspect of judaism in central europe is something we're not really conscious on, not in the general community, either in the ultimate to manage it. and that's why i, especially since clearly had such a major impact on europe, migration, clothing, both directions and now thing, another migration movement here in the same place they've been happening for centuries. and that's the reason we're starting our journey through europe, from social open, your beginning time the ah ah ah. i've never been to mars say, but i'm excited to see what jewish life is like hear the news. it's a typical pause city with lots of influences and immigration, and that's why it's a city that'

also in europe but -- also the u.s., but europe should come up with big flagship programs. what purpose? there is the sub-orbital. you will become a satellite provider or a rocket provider and deliver payloads to actual space stations. there is colonization of the moon and going to mars. there is a lot of ways to do space. how does europe want to do space? josef: we have some flagship programs which are the best in the world. we have a program to monitor our planet. we take the pulse of our planet. we have galileo, navigation program. among the best in the world. there is also space science, which is a bit more exotic where you look into the universe and see what can be done with satellites to explore our origins and questions like where do you go and where you come from. we need to understand other planets. we are planning other exciting missions. we are having a lot of diverse activities. what i really want to achieve is space is much more at the center of the politico agenda of top decision-makers as it is happening in the u.s. and china. i think europe has to catch up i

for travel in europe. so will a vaccine curtain end up dividing, rich and full nation? this is inside story. ah hello and welcome to the show. i'm sammy's, a dan, so cove, it $900.00 vaccines, a vital for controlling the pandemic. as we know, widespread immunization is allowing parts of the world, including the u. s. in europe to reopen for tourism and trade. but it's a different story in developing nations. millions of people across africa still waiting to receive their 1st jobs. the w h o warns the continent is facing an extremely aggressive 3rd wave. the african union is covered, 1900 envoy is strongly criticized europe for failing to deliver the millions of doses. it promised we'll bring in our guests in a moment. but 1st, this report from victoria gate and b marie a 57 year old mother of 5 has come to this clinic and can chester to get her 2nd job of the asters in vaccine. the democratic republic of congo is suffering from a 3rd serge of corona, virus infections, as many other parts of africa. i think

that is, that companies have to submit studies to europe in commission. they do the study themselves, they have to submit it to the european commission and to accept. so the europe, food safety authority and they as a panel of experts that looks at the studies and then they say ok, safe or not. so what we have found is that within these expert panels, you have a lot people with dice with the food industry. so that means a conflict of interest me in. so home system, the communication agencies and the regulatory agencies have the same scientists. and they work in order to promote the commercialization of their products. i. this is why if you ask them something, you have the same answer and they say it's a consensus exactly like in the middle ages, you were asking for the priest, what is a truth in no, you asked to these scientists and regulatory agencies. what is the truth and they act in the same manner as magician? you know, because they work on secret compounds. we secretly effects. they say that you cannot publish that. however they say they have the tr

in europe, it is 8.3%.s is a market that is perpetually undervalued, so bernstein making the argument with this data, don't buy u.s. value. go in and buy europe value. let's get more on the story. joining us is luke hickmore, aberdeen standard investments investment director. thank you for joining us today. bernstein says you want to own european value over u.s. value. would you agree with that? luke: broadly, i would. we have seen so much coming through the tech side of things in the u.s., and people think europe really hasn't got much in the way of that area. i think they are wrong, by the way. i think if you delve down into the mid-cap and small-cap stuff, there's really good growth in europe, as well as value, but you end up having to look for it a lot harder. value stuff, absolutely, the consumer growth right now is coming through in your nestles of this world, and volkswagen, as you were talking about. there's lots of value there. from our perspective in credit, we are finding great value all over the

by having that dutch space in mainland europe, enables us to be able to tour the rest of europe withoutone—off. we've discovered eu countries have helped at least 2,300 uk companies set up in europe since the brexit vote. some will now pay less tax in the uk. 0ur income will actually now not all come into the uk. a lot of it will go into holland. so the treasury will receive less money, and i think it will be severely hit with the loss of income from uh the entertainment industry and supporting companies. at this moment, for us, it's a disaster. it's been a hundred days since the uk left the single market. julianne and matt have something to celebrate. we have got the malta order finally leaving after i don't know how long it's been. it was ordered on the 11th of january and it's now april. malta has accepted that their vegan products don't require an animal health certificate. is there another roll of stickers for me? but there's more bureaucracy — every snack bar needs a label with an eu address. every single box needs to be opened, and it's a tiny little label for every single produc

and europe. the chancellor particularly worried about what is happening with the football games that will be taking place as we go through to the finals of the euros. certainly, german politicians voicing concern there. so not a clear win. there was a hope that we would see a little more clarity in terms of the timeline for reopening travel between the u.k. and the eu. we haven't had that. what else to get out of this meeting? -- a little earlier on to try to get a sense of what is happening here. any clear takeaways? i struggle to get any sense of direction from this relationship. angela merkel obviously departing. there was a lot of talk about what she has brought to europe, but not in terms of healing the wounds necessarily between the u.k. and germany. >> i think they talked about the famous northern ireland protocol, and the u.k., every time there's a problem with the eu, goes to its friends in berlin and says can you help us, can you maybe be a blip more flexible on the protocol. but of cou

okay, so maybe we don't have the tourism aspect space here in europe, but europe does still have a very well developed space industry. so when do you see that we can make gains in the future space technology after all, you're very heavily involved in the industry yourself. yes, i think europe is leading in terms of satellites like technology, market share and export market. it's very strong in europe. europe is very strong and application live kind of remote sensing navigation is a strong clarence space and of course space tourism you need also the territory. i mean, you saw the images from, from new mexico. you wouldn't find these type of spaceport locations here and you're usually, so it's a tourist thing. but other than that, i think we see a global room in space, which includes europe. all right, and back to the the tourism question specifically, i know this is an industry which for now just seems to be for the super rich. when do you think you will, i will be taking a holiday in space. if i had to go, i would be tempted to do it actually, obviously you want to see a leg if you thou

and above all, how it feels jewish life in europe. that's what film producer. lona and journalists, goodman, are exploring. delving into history and the present i would never have thought that could be live. so i could remind myself because i grew up in a completely different way. prod, pluralistic jewish in europe. the 2 port documentary starts july 5th on dw, the ah ah. see the news live from berlin, a stunning turn of events for the man once known as america. dad. he was convicted of sexual assault and sent to prison. but now us, comedian bill cosby is once again a 3 man, a us court overturned his conviction on a legal technicality. coming back on the last german soldiers return from afghanistan was all remaining international troops to leave by september 11th afghans worry about the future of their.

is europe just a few weeks behind the u.k.? is the u.s. just a few weeks behind europe?cott: i think this will be a summer of confusion and inconsistency. there was optimism that the highly vaccinated countries would have a relatively normal summer come with clear parameters for international travel, but those hopes have really been squashed. i think each country in this equation is now going to be making its own path with different levels of caution, with different shifts around what you can and can't do. that will create uncertainty. it will create less willingness to travel, and create a lot of concern around the economic implications of this very critical summer tourism season. alix: we also saw, at least here in the u.s., reports of some senators and u.s. officials who were vaccinated who came down with covid-19. how quickly are going to start to see those kinds of headlines? scott: i think those stories get a lot of traction. i think it is still pretty clear evidence that the vaccines are working, that these breakthrough cases are an exception, but those cases get

europe? the extreme weather and euro e? , , causing the extreme weather and euroe? , , , ., europe? this is exactly what we would exuect — europe? this is exactly what we would expect to _ europe? this is exactly what we would expect to happen - europe? this is exactly what we would expect to happen with . europe? this is exactly what we | would expect to happen with the planet warming as rapidly as it is, so we know that more extreme weather events are going to occur more frequently, more simultaneously and be more intense than ever before. we have a warm atmosphere that holds more moisture and these, this moisture is released in the form of heavy precipitation like rainfall or snow and usually you would have atmosphere currents moving these weather systems along but also with the planet warming you havejet also with the planet warming you have jet streams that have gone awry and so these extreme weather events are actually paying still, so heavy amounts of precipitation are being dumped and

in europe to reopen for tourism and trade. but it's a different story in developing nations. millions of people across africa still waiting to receive their 1st jobs. the w h o warns the continent is facing an extremely aggressive 3rd wave. the african unions cove at $900.00 envoy, a strongly criticized europe for failing to deliver the millions of doses. it promised we'll bring in our guests in a moment. but 1st, this report from victoria gate and d marie a 57 year old mother of 5 has come to this clinic in can shafter to get her 2nd job of the astrazeneca vaccine. the democratic republic of congo is suffering from a 3rd surge of corona, virus infections, as many other parts of africa. i think i said this is good for us to protect ourselves if you are experiencing the 3rd wave of curve at 19. it's important we received this vaccine because in doing so, we'll also save others. she's one of the lucky ones. only one percent of people across the continent have been inoculated. while rich vaccinated countries are reopening their e

any corrections produced and accepted in europe. whether or not, what's the europe or european countries will not have the efficacy of these sections would have been manufactured in india. and these are the most faxes that have been sent to africa for inoculation. so it's a crisis here, right now we're seeing infection rates going. i'm going to ask you about 5500000 infractions across the continent. yeah, i was going to ask you about the situation right now. we how bad is it right now? well actually they have and i'm with 5.5 mit any instructions across the continent . but a lot of people, many africans, and even health experts believe that the number is far, far, much higher than what the governments of those countries have been reporting. the amount of testing being conducted in africa is actually very, very low. and of course we've seen in the past week how death rates have risen by around 23 percent, which is warning for many african countries. why really, really struggling economically. and now the impact of coffee 19 have dest

look at europe for, for regulation. and that's why it's so important that europe keeps regulation which is scientific, which is a database in which as much as possible decides result being influenced by by i would say by noise or by just emotions and fear when science me values that it's becoming complicated. we come with the science with evidence, we do an a scientific process of risk assessment, but then this evidence is given on another stage on the policy level, there believes emotions values come in. and what we see is if politicians don't like the outcome of our risk assessment, they don't question their belief. they question the validity of the process. so basically if it's a comes with an opinion, let's say on the, on the continuing it's insecticides politicians love if so they want the food. so you are protecting the bees. you're doing the right thing. really good to act on s. so we all applaud to you, and if the same process with the same people, we use the same scrutiny cause we the conclusion, let's say i'm

on europe -- on earnings.es on the valuations. i do believe we need a bit of steepening, we need some country starting to lift rates where there is the u.k. next year or central europe as we speak. we need rates for the banks to become a clear buy. alix: the other potential headwind is the delta variant and covid. goldman sachs raised skepticism as to how much the service sector could recover in light of covid. we are getting the delta variant and getting hit pretty hard in europe. what is the downside for growth for these banks based on the variant? magdalena: it is tough to say at the moment, i have to admit, because the delta variant would have a downside affect if we assume the situation got so ugly that we had the return of some sort of restriction or lockdown, which i have to say is not our basecase. i do acknowledge that there may be more of a question mark from the perspective of the cycle, how quickly can it improve? we will probably see some of that weakness and the fiscal support gets withdrawn. not

it's the perfect gateway to europe. over the last few years, the chinese have turned periods into the biggest support in the mediterranean and they're planning to make it the biggest port in europe, pledging $600000000.00 euros of additional investment in the next few years. your music i can make i was born and raised in prayer a me for years and i love him. of amendment had been i have felt connected with the see in the before, since i was small before in the green via this place where we are now. it's important to, and medical meadows. not only for its charm and atmosphere. now it's to, to, to be only meant that because it's a pod with open access to the c particle and the supposed to fail. and because it was who managed to keep it that way. for sadness. okay. yeah. remorse. yeah. tracy honest darzy, a francis coffee, believes that the old port area belongs to the cities residence and has long been campaigning to get them access to it again. she's the left wing, threes of parties, maritime policy spokeswoman. that is

to africa and from africa to europe. but the jews and also muslims were expelled from spain in 1492. and then after the 2nd world war, many hundreds of thousands of jews travelled from north africa back to europe. and also israel. we don't know if it goes back to the old testament, if you want to look at it met the logically and this whole aspect of judaism in central europe is something we're not really conscious or not in the general community either in the open mind to mind so that's especially since clearly had such a major impact on europe. migration flows in both directions and now seeing another migration movement here in the same place they've been happening for centuries. and that's the reason we're starting our journey through europe. from the beginning i choose i've never been to my day, but i'm excited to see what jewish life is like here the . it's a typical pause city with lots of influences and immigration and that's why it's a city that's always been open to the jewish community. the life is obviously cha

c, as based in europe is growing a lot. all of these nations are very easily accessible by, by the part of the, as they saw. you know, i think it is very simple. if you look at a map, you see that if you pass fruit and you go to hungary to germany, to say you arrive foster van busing from the northern range port the, the city is investing even more in its rail network than in the port itself. built over 100 years ago. it's direct links to eastern europe are still there. they just have to be upgraded. but it is also at pains to emphasize that although it welcomes investments from china, it has no intention of selling off the port lock stock, and barrel. what was a free years ago? 2 years ago, only a problem, a matter of transport became a geopolitical issue. now, if you said the port authority, you say ok, this part of a territory is no more my territory. and this was than in increasing. this is not what is happening here. below here is the port authority of president is italian. i am directly governed by my minister, so you

flash floods kill at least 70 people in western europe. thousands across germany, the netherlands, and belgium have been forced to leave their homes with more heavy rain on the way. lebanon's prime minister designate gives up on trying to form a government. there are protests on the streets as the country's crisis deepens. the united nations has warned hunger and fighting has made afghanistan one of the worst crises in the world. we are in the city, but in recent weeks this has become a frontline. the spaces that people can run two for safety are shrinking every day here. and as japan struggles to host tokyo 2020, we have a special report on the small towns trying to keep the olympics excitement burning. hello and a very warm welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. the sheer scale of the flooding disaster that has hit western germany and parts of belgian and the netherlands is only now becoming clear. at least so many people are believed to have died and many others have lost their homes. the german chancellor, angel

and i think that's actually majority of citizens in europe. they are very worried about the migration issues starting from this that why people don't have to leave data data homeland in the sunsets. it's very human and in lots of cases human tragedy. so that i guess the majority of people in europe in distance don't want to see that people will have to leave their homes and then start the life of g. i'm not only about total, say, mr. bob. so most is disappointing aspect which human rights groups are underlined last month is how the e u has failed to safeguard people. again, serious human rights violations at its external borders. the spotlight has fallen on the border agency front, tx, which is accused by human rights watch of failing repeatedly to take action of allegations of human rights violations. that's a serious issue, isn't it? it's exposed deep pulled lines in the values that mental countries were supposed to sign up to have not been a major disappointment for you. why the, for me, the big disappointment actually is that we still have

it's the biggest synagogue in europe. the liberal camp has clearly prevailed with magnificent building. style. o, oh, oh. i work for most people, venice is a romantic city for us. jesus, it's the location of the 1st ghetto. it was here that the jewish population was 1st separated and segregated. the venice later contributed significantly to the development of jewish intellectualism, for example, in reprinting and economic prowess. again, just like to be did you hear in the 16th century that despite all the difficulty, it was a very exciting time, jewish life, jewish printing economy and culture developed enormously and radiated out into europe. ah ah ah, the me if you would see now a tooth reading of the 17th century, the get the would they have play this kind of music at the wedding? i believe so. absolutely. but what was special about the ghetto, of course, is probably if you went to a german jewish wedding, they would have german music with the little italian music put in if you went to a what they call the 11 teen jew

so, why is the us involved in whether or not a gas pipeline in europe goes ahead?d willis explains. the last three american administrations have all expressed their dislike of the nord stream 2 gas pipeline. they believe it potentially gives russia too much leverage, too much control over european energy supply, for the simple reason that it will take gas directly from russia to germany, bypassing ukraine and poland. well, now, in an act of pragmatism, i think you could say, president biden has said that he is willing to waive sanctions that have been imposed on the people, on the german company constructing this pipeline, because it's virtually built. 98% of it has already been constructed, the biden administration believes there's nothing really they can do now to prevent it from coming into use. so it's better to leverage its relationship with germany, the biggest ally in europe, of course, and this follows chancellor angela merkel�*s visit to washington, dc, last week at which the subject was raised. so the biden administration, believes it does not really have

it's not going to, it doesn't like unified europe, it's never like unified europe. i'm a historian, as much as a political scientist, and i know in the 1950s that nikita khrushchev on said to american leaders what the last thing we want is a strong europe. now i would, i would disagree with my counterpart, thereby saying that you may be dysfunction on security issues. but it is a powerful economic lock. it does represent the interest of millions and in that economic power, it would seem to me that it would benefit russia to have better relations with the you. but i think for a lot of reasons, particularly president security concerns on his own power. he doesn't want that relations because the e u is also a normative power, which pushes back against the suppression of dissidence and russia pushes back against the forcible annexation of the crimea. so for those reasons, i think russia doesn't want necessarily good relations with the new and needs to present the you as an enemy to russia. so in that sense, i think they will continue to try and pick a pick a part the yo

for the young men who mostly fled to europe without their parents. it is one of the rare opportunities to get out of the camp. they say conditions and carrots, they are much better than they were in moria, but they still feel trapped. it can take years for an asylum claim to be processed in greece, lot in a good. but now they have hope all has shown them the way playing for the 3rd division side and working as an assistant coach has helped him get a residence permit. that makes of uncle sponsors proud. he hopes his successful work will inspire greeks to show more understanding for the often traumatized youngsters. we can give them help, we can change their behaviors so we can make them better, better be better, but since so when they're in the society in the community, it will be very easy for them to speak with local people and local people to check to see that they are the same with us. they're not different. paul has his sights set high. he wants to move on from less bows and dreams of playing for a professional club in a big city in germany or fr

related to what happens in europe that seem -- closed less than what we do in europe.ngs to take into account. and, theirs r- third, vaccinations it chains a little bit. to monitor in the weeks and months ahead in which the station to life, a -- in europe or france, you want to go to restaurants, you get the vaccine. we'll see if it applies to other regions. >> the damage or economic impact of rising counts were worse than you are before. where would you look in the data, it feels so moise at this point. where do you look for signs of potential concerns? >> i don't think we will look at the traditional data. it becomes a little bit too late for sort of real time diagnostics. so we'll be looking at the same stuff we have been looking last year in the report. i think it's going to be clear to be interesting to see if policies change, forcing people to stay home, pro during their mobility. restaurant bookies, it's an interest -- are you you intelligence me -- people decide to take things in their own hands. that is key as well. traditional data, yes, but as you said, supe

o i so if someone wants to authorize a product in europe, let's say a plan protection product. this person, because this person or this company, the applicant, has to provide data that allows us, as the risk assessors to judge whether this product is safe or not. and this information comes from the applicant and the studies that are commissioned by the applicant to allow us to assess the safety are paid by the applicant, obviously. so it's the intellectual property of the applicant. and we can publish parts of the studies in the current legal framework, but we also have to respect the pieces confidentiality claims of the applicants. so there is a balance to be found between transparency as much as possible, but also to predict the investment of companies into their product innovation. that is, that companies have to submit studies to european commission. they do the studies themselves. they have to submit it to the european commission and to accept. so the european food safety authority and they have a panel of experts that looks at the studies and then they say ok, safe or not
