nato has become an aggressive bloc, so nato has become an aggressive bloc, so please stop telling us.e 19805, and listening to alexander, it is like being taken back 30 years. you speak like a hardline kremlin ideologue. you're like an american imperialist, but who cares? what we are discussing is that the west lied to russia. the west is in an aggressive alliance in nato. why did donald trump choose to do what he did just before going to helsinki? the two things that need to be connected is this. everything is interconnected. his principal point was that are the one that american presidents have been raising for 40 years. the us cannot be expected to go on bearing the 90% of the cost of nato. whether or not he will succeed using the blunt instrument that he did, i don't know, but i go back to my childhood. my father was a senior nato officer. we passed a grassy mound ringed by concentric circles of razor wire behind which were some people wearing uniforms that i didn't recognise. it was my first sighting as a teenager of americans, and my father said to me, these are the people who k

can't have the same level of integration as it enjoyed as a member of the bloc right now you mention greece there are digit mention greece because there's an interesting side point there yeah i'm going to get to that in fact if you go there here is the u.k. and they're trying to negotiate against europe they're having no luck you're europe keeps on saying no no no no no you we're not going to give you all these goodies that you want because you're not part of the block anymore so now they're resorting to they've lost all negotiating leverage and all they have is that if you are so continue to be so hard on us then putin is going to be gleeful right so let me bring. the point that i made when the breaks of vote went down and i got a lot of flack by making the very obvious statement and observation that the united kingdom relies seventeen eighteen percent of their g.d.p. on exports to the e.u. the e.u. gets maybe four or five percent their g.d.p. is based on exports to great britain so you never go to a gun fight with a knife and united kingdom was never going to win this negotiation a

efforts by this government to make joint agreements in europe on the proper reception of refugees bloc has apologized for his remarks saying that they were meant to spark debate not to offend so we put the issue up for conversation with independent journalist lee greenvale and the un coordinator on minorities mohammed circle. he says things which up and former unfortunately real is that dean multicultural societies that were promised us that the perfect twenty first century site is don't function in the west at least in western europe i think the last remark you just based on. ignorance of how can societies can bring together a big example. we can witness is the work of the french team for example look at french team french team contains a multicultural society france beat another team from a small country from the balkans and all the players in this small team were of the country of origin so there is no rule to be taken out of that to meet the multiculturalist that doesn't function is what you have communities living next to each other and not mixing it is very easy for example for a

bloc were in the air reasons why migration was the debates key issue. is more all the more order must be brought to all kinds of migration so that people get the impression that law and order will be maintained that's our mission and our concern . and the agreement between the conservative allies is to be implemented here at the german austrian border transit centers are to be built here asylum seekers who have previously registered in other countries would initially be housed their status checked and they meet even be deported from here. the center left social democrats the third coalition partner are under pressure to quickly agree to the conservatives compromise but they are also struggling. that there was not be any national unilateral action and there must be a due process at every moment and we will not agree to closed camps. so the debate continues within the coalition the opposition believes the dispute over migration policy is a good target. will go after you aspire for this the divine germany and for this they divide europe for this you divide

but also the other two parties of the conservative bloc now we do have a deal like this i'm going i'ma call after all these weeks and weeks of difficulty sky least breathe a sigh of relief and we've seen some dramatic turns here in policy directions haven't we tomas' three years ago the social democrats they were strongly against central ideas of today's agreement why does their attitude to beard appear to be changing now. well in the one hundred because the situation is different now to the situation as it was at the height of the refugee crisis there are fewer migrants coming to germany but on the other hand a far as the s.p.d. is concerned this is not the same type of centers than what they had rejected in the past and what they said for example now after the agreement was reached is that we're not talking about building a new sand as such but rather a sign of procedures will be carried out in a more rather quickly santas by the police that are already there so they will not have new. asylum sent as they had been rejected before a transit center as they were called so this is why t

to continue in this joint conservative bloc with the chancellor's christian democrats because otherwise essentially the varying conservatives have no influence on the national level but whether that compromise can be found is very very hard to say because in fact both sides indicated today that they were standing on principle another two months to get dave the chance for a deadline which was sunday he said again with a deal but i want to the wise i would close one unilaterally yesterday he repeated his threat to resign but he's still there so what does he want. it seems that he considers himself indispensable he said that his decision not to resign last night was a concession to the chancellor and that he also considers his principles immutable he said henri is reported to have said today that any compromise would force him to bend and that he can't do that so the central question they will be facing in here today is in these discussions is whether mr c. who for his essentially saying that his fate is so tied up with his party's fate that if he were to have to back down he would take th

this praise is a carefully but vaguely worded one just like so many other agreements struck by the bloc in the past but this one manages to satisfy a diverse range of views so just exactly how was it reached one challenge was to satisfy it to be on thursday blocked all joint decisions prior to the summit in an effort to appease tensions the member states decided to stay and rescued migrants on a new territory to so-called control centers across the bloc bash and this was only to appease central european countries like the czech republic and hungary those locations are still to be decided and can only happen in countries who volunteer to have them not surprising they're not many volunteers many leaders again pushed for responsibility to fall on first arrival countries who already have enough migrants same tis all sides under the dublin regulation refugees have to buy in the first european country where they are right we are sticking to this rule and the fall is that those countries responsible for migration centers france is not the country's first arrival so most opensource senses notic

he's a solid conservative who will help the conservative bloc on the supreme court push the conservativevolution further and deeper for the next few decades. what do you think the effect will be on the direction the supreme court will go if his selection is approved by the senate? the supreme court has leaned conservative, it has leaned republican since the 1990s, but during that time there's always been at least one and at times two moderate centrists on the court, swing justices, who have moderated the far right faction and the far left faction of the court. this bend over the last 20 years, while the law has moved in a more conservative direction, the centre on the court, comprised of anthony kennedy over the last few years, and he is stepping down, has ensured neither side has moved the law to two fast, too farc. side has moved the law to two fast, too fa rc. —— side has moved the law to two fast, too farc. —— too fast. —— too far. it seems some senators will be looking for a clear steer, or as clear as possible, from the nominee on some of the big social issues of the day, including
