max baucus on bloomberg next. matt: this is "bloomberg markets ." there is a lot going on right now but i think the yield picture has to be the most interesting. i was looking at the divergence between the u.s. treasury yield and german yields and not only has it grown to almost 200 basis points, it is interesting that the german yields have stayed around the same level, while treasury yields have rocketed. amanda: one of the interesting part of that story, it was not that long ago that we were having conversations about negative in the u.s., even though the fed said we are not going to go negative. we could have believed them. they have a lot of other tools they can use and maybe what germany shows is what you have gone there, it is tough to believe that you are going to offer an alternative. matt: the interesting thing also is that when you see rates rise, typically you see something like gold fall but that has not been the case with bitcoin. it is up to over $57,000 right now. the largest exchange on which to trade cryptocurrencies is binance. it

i don't think anybody thought max baucus needed to wait that long to pull the negotiations. i did not know when is on the most was how much baucus in particular and other democrats believe they can pick up republicans. number one orin hatch in 2008, dispatched some of his aides to kennedy directly and quietly and said let's do a bill just me and you kennedy didn't think that but hatch wanted to do that i thank you would've got that was acceptable to democrats he was conservative but the interest was genuine. with a close relationship with kennedy with the children's health bill. and grassley had a weird relationship with baucus and he was expressing himself that made it sound like if he could get the yes he wanted to get to yes. that was surprising. interviewed perry read about this. this is the first time i spoke to him he is fascinating and terming an interesting i said don't you wish you could've moved to the train along faster? the one point he made he said if we moved faster pushing the conservative democrats didn't want to do it i'm not sure they would have been there

in that context in baucus on significant john chunk of health care is delivered by the private sector and the government has been brought back about tackling the price of all along and taken the private sector as a part of the solution but it was wrapping up to think about for the last year and whether it is wrapping up the vaccine rollout this year so in that context the government allowed 'd private sector companies doing important but the back in 2 buckets. to be clear the companies that are importing the vaccines box are the ones that have been nominated by the various manufacturers of the vaccine that were in the authorization in buckets on so the importers will bring that into box on but they can only sell it in this in that the such as ours and various other hospitals which are plugged into the national database so that all people who get vaccinated but that they're getting they're acting at the public at the facility or private sector that would be. their data accumulated in the national unity ok i understand that and i also understand it's a very big job i made was the popula

fact any difference in manufacturing in any way that might lead to something spiral he says across baucus. part of the investigation thank you. our correspondent go matters in brussels is following this story and has listened to the e.m.i. executive director. you've been listening what can you tell us in a nutshell. i would say in a nutshell the key message here really is that there so far has been no causal relationship being established so there is no indication at presence that this particular vaccine astra zeneca is causing those blood clots that have been observed and some people have been vaccinated now of course you need to say that we are vaccinating healthy people and so the risk benefit analysis has to take that into account at the having said that however 11 also needs to point out that while those investigations are ongoing and she was spied optimistic to shortly come up with a result it's also a fact that so far it's been national you are authorities that have stopped the vaccination it's not the european medicines agency itself that has set stop using those vaccines biled we

the plaudits and for good reason they chorused 14 goals put him among the bundesliga top scorers baucus tells haven't conceded once in the 6 games before this match to. surprisingly though this it has kept up with the more adventurous side early on. the sport's 30 defense had plenty to do. midfielder luke us to sour when close for the berliners kept up by a combination of castillo's thinker tips and the crossbar. and that the star for both sport has been center back not so slack off the 20 year old frenchwoman has had a breakthrough season for the wolves. at the other end of old sports precise efficient attack keeps bearing fruit but. no luck for the course this time but only because look at splinter got there 1st with an own goal of. 7 minutes in both sport where head without having had to sing. all shot on goal. great example of why all of a glass now put so much stock in strong defense they. have time here to completely switched off their attack bringing on to stop beyond tech and john quarterback to try and find a way through both sports back line. but the league's best offense is a

has already been approved in 2 countries hungary and her back here it does come as the baucus criticised coronavirus an accolade inoculation in member states that he a region's health truth told us about an approval process for sputnik. was that more. it's necessary to produce vaccines in house in order to be self-reliant and avoid the problems we've recently faced including the difficulties with job supplies and on time deliveries autonomy will benefit everyone in this case we've always treated the sputnik vaccine with great respect paying particular attention to the scientific evidence behind it therefore we had no reservations about it off we saw the in that explanations of its validity in the medical journal the lancet and by the last there are small and zone international institute for infectious diseases in row we've always said that the efficacy and safety of vaccines are the main thing whereas the origin doesn't matter to us. unfortunately we can't say decisions absolutely independently and always have to wait for the approval by regulators will so hope for a fast track process s

the foreign minister of lithuania mr baucus thank you very much for being with us so let's start with russia the e.u. has already imposed sanctions on moscow to little effect what more would you like to see done. well 1st of all i think it's it's a rather important here in russia since the russians will go to the ballot later this this year in september and it is likely that we'll see more of opposition crackdowns that we've seen earlier this year and european union needs to stay vigilant and send a message that. now in prison or other position members of european union will react because this is the way i see that europe is is defending the basic principles of liberty and democracy. so i well i is hopeful and the hope is that the discussion will revolve around this. the new u.s. administration is pressuring germany to halt construction of the new north stream to pipeline project that would carry more russian gas to europe what's your position on that well i think again the best message to. mr putin and his his regime incredibly would be that no. cooperation be political or economical

former member of the european union and european union itself plays a key role also the fact that the baucus foreign minister said that. russia is weaponize ing vax sputnik 5 vaccine and using it as a tool in the hybrid war against the west tells us a lot the about this political motives in this post communist countries all in europe in general so as we are speaking and we are talking about the human lives which should be a letter or pick and it should be. politicized unfortunately just said true and the set reality of the european politics is that in deep. in our run to save our lives everything has been politicized isn't. vaccinations programs and using a credible and i will put an emphasis on this particular word credible vaccines as sputnik 5 banks in east and it has been concerned by the legitimate organs and bodies who can confront up it is ready to be used in order to vaccinate people and frankly saying astra zeneca with collaboration with oxford university. effectiveness is you know lower than the. effectiveness of sputnik 5 vaccine but nevertheless still a certain governments you kn
