you get the sense ofjust how close germany and britain have been. is body for centuries. germany wants to keep britain close but it values europe and the single market more. those hoping that this country's soft spot for the british can translate into more exit concessions may be disappointed. and even as it seeks to prevent it, this ascetic, this country, is stealing itself for a painful farewell. inga beale is board director at london first. this really is the first of the key conversation that the british prime minister will be having. his first foreign trip as a prime minister. they will not be the most co mforta ble they will not be the most comfortable of conversations. boris tends to enjoy confrontational conversations, as we have seen since he has been in office. i think he is up he has been in office. i think he is upfor he has been in office. i think he is up for it. what business really wa nts up for it. what business really wants though is for them to come to a nice agreement for everybody because it is the uncertainty that is really affe

the idealfor germany does want to keep britain close. want to keep britain close. the idealfor germany would be for them to have a close economic relationship, but that can't mean watering down the single market. that is what we have seen since the referendum. that position has not changed and is unlikely to change today. what we have seen for years is british prime ministers from david cameron through to theresa may and now boris johnson, david cameron through to theresa may and now borisjohnson, coming to berlin to ask mrs merkel to change her mind on those red lines she has laid down, in particular the backstop. it hasn't worked in the past with previous prime ministers and according to all observers here in germany, it will not work today. what mrs merkel would be prepared to talk about what she is hoping mr johnson will want to talk about is the future relationship. and there, she has said she is open to the idea of alternative arrangements to keep that border on the island of ireland open. but so far, berlin has said they haven't ha

they have stayed in the agreement, the u.k., britain, germany and france have stayed in the agreementried to move forward, although it has been very difficult as the rhetoric from the u.s. and the sanctions from the u.s. have gotten stronger. they have been in a position of trying to broker a deal, even though they have not been able to make any movement with the u.s. they remain in the camp that dealing with iran, trying to basically keep negotiations with iran and stay within the deal is much better than leaving the deal and having iran perhaps go off on their own and start enriching uranium, which they have said they might do. so that has been their stance, although it has been certainly very much at odds with what the u.s. has been doing, especially in recent months. iran bloomberg's correspondent joins us, from dubai. to get your perspective. from the arabian? perspective was there a breakthrough? the iranianm perspective was there a breakthrough? golnar: it has been interesting. we have seen pushback from hardliners in iran who have been skeptical of macron's effort. one of the

it illustrated how far away he was from the consensus of these democratic allies, france, britain, germany, italy. >> i will come back to your great reporting and "politico"'s great reporting. you have taken us down an important path. i want to get you on the record. what phil described, not doing a volume of lies and chaos, would have stopped washington in their tracks, if barack obama -- president obama had done what phil just described, president bush had done it, a summit at which democracy matters. behind closed doors and obviously not much of an effort made to keep it secret because it's been reported by phil's excellent colleagues. we now know donald trump advocating more aggressively for vladamir putin. we know his body of statements about how we're killers, too. there's nothing extraordinary about putin killing this event. why isn't there an outcry? why is joe walsh the only republican running against him. why is there an american asset of vladamir putin running the country? >> it really is amazing because joe walsh, who's -- i don't think he's the most shrewd campaigner to enter

you really get the sense here ofjust how close germany and britain have been. r centuries. germany wants to keep britain close. but it values europe and the single market more. those hoping that this country's soft spot for the british can translate into more brexit concessions may be disappointed. and even as it seeks to prevent it, this city, this country, is steeling itself for a painful farewell. jenny hill, bbc news, hamburg. we can hear more from jenny hill, who's back in berlin. but first, iain watson is in westminster. with our political correspondent. your sense of the mood going into this meeting in berlin later?|j think this meeting in berlin later?” think the mood will be convivial on the surface at least, there will be a military guard welcoming boris johnson. both leaders will be stressing a common commitment to tackling climate change, to improving security across the continent. but there is this huge gap still between them and brexit effectively, borisjohnson sane there can be no deal as long as this controversial irish backs up to avoid a hard b

one of the most important trading relationships in the world both machall and johnson know germany is britain's most important trading partner in europe and ukraine needs germany more than germany needs the u.k. it was a threat of recession looming nakul does not want to see further pressure on the trading relationship tens of thousands jobs are reportedly at stake if there is no deal breaks. now let's bring in all this hoping he's with a german british chambre of commerce and joins us from london all is are you convinced like mackle that a deal can still be reached. it import is still we reach but i think i'm good i'm not that has done that quite steadily she's put the ball back into both conference call because she's actually said you know within 30 days something may well be possible for the u.k. to come up with the workable solution and that really remains to be seen but also don't stop me disable to come up with a solution for the backstop which satisfies the 5 until you can union so that at the heart or is the point in going on what would you reckon what happens on 31st of october do you

have to decide that they want to take the task escorting in some cases their own ships, britain, france and germanyhad important with brexit going on, not easy thing to arrange, britain needs to show that they can protect their own ships and they need to start working with the u.s., i think in this case we have seen this is not something that the european 3 can handle on their own, too big of a foreign policy problem at this point. heather: what about russia and china? >> russia and china are loving every minute of this, sold iran a lot of small boats that they use for harassment. the more wedge between iran and europe and driving with europe and the u.s., russia loves that, they like the conflict, it suits them but that's why we have to keep on the maximum economic pressure and look for diplomacy to look in the long run. heather: are we the only ones putting the pressure on them at this point, what is the un doing? >> well, the un has atomic agency and they have nailed him for enrichment that they are doing and very worrying iran is talk about restarting the iraq reactor which they had discontinue

mrs merkel is very keen to ensure that germany and britain remain close partners and allies, even ifes out of the eu in a no deal scenario. i have noted in the last few days, she has tried to strike a more conciliatory tone. people have been concerned about borisjohnson‘s rhetoric, his do—or—die raid attitude towards brexit. mrs merkel is keen to avoid a situation developing where there is an adversarial narrative developing between britain and the rest of the eu. she has set you up the solution can be fined because she is very concerned about what i no deal would mean politically and economically for europe and of course for germany. jenny, stay with us. i want to bring in a german mep at the moment. your thoughts, today?” think mrs merkel has made it very clear in the beginning that she will not go for an opening of the withdrawal agreement again but she is ready to support any idea that she can make practical that the backstop now has to be used but because of deals we can agree in the transition period after ratification of the withdrawal agreement, the backstop never comes to pr

leaders from britain, canada, germany, italy, japan, and of course the united states. is in biarritz and watched them arrive. there he is. donald trump. it's not the first time they have met today. we saw him sitting at a very prettily decorated table in a hotel in biarritz a little earlier on, a slightly awkward affair, emmanuel macron spoke in english and in french, detail on a whole range of policy issues he hopes the g7 will tackle across this three—day summit. mr trump said a little less. he said they had a great friendship, having met each other a few times. mr trump clearly enjoyed having dinner at the eiffel tower. he referenced that. but he didn't get into any of the policy details, which we now divide these two men and divide these two countries. and perhaps, a more useful guide to mr trump's mood, with regards to the biggest issue, trade, it is a statement that he gave just before he got on the to france, where he said, look, i'm not happy with how europe is behaving in terms of trade and if need be we'll put tariffs on french wine among other european goods

the things you listed out and more, but the fact is that they have not managed to split britain, france and germanychanism to continue to defy the sanctions, so the sanctions are really working, president trump said something so interesting at the g7, he said iran is not the same country that was 2 and a half years ago. i take that to mean he see it is intel briefs and he sees the impact of sanctions. he has said all along, president trump has that he's willing to talk when iran is ready and at some point iran will be ready, will it be soon k macron pull it off, who knows, we will see. eric: baby step to that possibility, what struck me was that he comes in, has that meeting which the french foreign ministry tweeted out with macron and his aides, then the guy left, they didn't meet anybody else, it was like come in for a photo-op time. >> well, we have to remember that macron is in favor of assertive french and eu foreign policy, so in a way this is macron having his moment on the stage as well, again, i think it's wise of g7 leaders to go ahead and try this, what we have seen over the past few mon

he threatens that trade deal with south american countries could be in jeopardy and britain and germanyg this is an emergency and must be discussed for g-7. president trump may have different views about that. if you look closer to the brazilian president than he is to angela merkel who famously he called a loser and so i think there may be some fireworks on climate change and i don't think, the u.s. already said a few days ago it was not going to take part in any expensive multi lateral scheme to have climate change. so i imagine there will not be a meeting on climate change and many other things. >> bill neely for us in the southwest. president trump keeps flip-flopping on gun safety reform. coming up next, what it takes to buy a gun in this country and how easy it is to avoid a background check. you are watching "velshi & ruhle," looiive on msnbc. ruhle," looiive on msnbc uh, i'll look into it.

was the next logical step in a long-term effort conducted by the french with the support of britain and germanyverse the cycle of deterioration and in the prospect for the survival of this vital international agreement, the nuclear deal with iran so there wasn't something set up that didn't work this was getting zarif back to continue the dialogue and to refine it to a point where he could take a package back to his boss, the supreme leader of iran and also to his president, president rouhani to see if there is scope for an agreement. >> we have heard from mr. rouhani overnight and he said the only way they'll stop scaling back on their nuclear commitments is if the u.s. lifts u.s. sanctions so it seems to me that europe is just a bystander in this discussion what effective leverage does europe and macron have over iran >> very little leverage. this is about finding an area of mutual interest and defining it in such a way that iran has the challenge to the nuclear agreement. they waited a year before responding to the totally unjustified united states rejection and withdrawal from the deal they

you really get a sense ofjust how close germany and britain have been. es. germany wants to keep britain close, but it values europe and the single market more. and those hoping that this country's soft spot for the british can translate into more brexit concessions may be disappointed. and even as it seeks to prevent it, this city, this country, is steeling itself for a painful farewell. what is striking when talking to people in hamburg and further afield is their sadness at britain's decision to leave the eu. it's not just about economics for germany, although germany is determined to keep britain as a closed trading partner and some would argue it needs to and it is an important trading partner and that is why the meeting with borisjohnson is likely to be relatively warm, despite not having any constructive outcome, it is suspected. it is worth pointing out that whilst germans reacted with shock and sadness to the referendum result, i think three years on watching what is going on in britain, most of the political establishment, most of the business e

britton, dirty -- germany, britain, and france asked this you and council to address north korea's latestsile launch. kim jong-un oversaw the operation. it concerned the effectiveness of the weapon on pyongyang side. two missiles flew around 250 kilometers before crashing into the sea. it comes days after the north carried out to similar missile tests. more from the south korean capital. latest missile firing is being viewed with deep concern here in south korea. it is the second double launching of short range ballistic missiles in less than one week. and the third missile launch to take place since may. in direct contravention of the landmark military agreement signed between north and south korea last september during the. of improving relations that was meant to have put an end to testing like this one. south korea's defense minister has said that if the north continues with threats and provocations like this, it would have to be considered an enemy. so there has been some strong words used by south korea, contrasting with all of the. of reconciliation that we have had over the past y

linked to the tried a green lantern the sensitivities that is best known in ireland and britain better than in germany this is why we want to listen to the british museum things are a mystery i'm sure that a single market this has integrity naturally if somebody wants to leave a single market we have to ensure that our integrity is preserved and just as we've discussed many issues with a certain amount of magination within the european union and reach solutions i believe that we'll be able to do that here as well and that is the job as we've heard. we want we're taking it very seriously when britain says that they want to withdraw by the 31st of october so that means we don't have 12 months to find a solution if we have less time if we attack negotiate draw thank you for just stress on the point about the border in northern ireland the united kingdom will under new circumstances implement checks customs checks will any archetypal checks at the border in in order that is that is absolutely clear we think that there are ways of protecting the integrity of the e.u. single market without doing having chec

one of the most important trading relationships in the world both national and johnson no germany is britain's most important trading partner in europe and the u.k. needs germany more than germany needs the u.k. it was a threat of recession looming nakul does not want to see further pressure on the trading relationship tens of thousands of jobs are reportedly at stake if there is no deal breaks. no let's bring in all this hoping he's with a german british chambre of commerce and joins us from london all of you convinced like merkel that a deal can still be reached. it will be still be reached but i think i'm good on that as on that i believe she's put the ball back into both conference call because she's actually said there within 30 days something may well be possible to the u.k. to come up with the workable solution and that's really remains to be seen but of course on staff and in disable to come up with a solution for the backstop which satisfies the crowd and if you pay union so that at the heart or is supported in or not what would you reckon what happens on 31st of october do you believ

intensive phase of a diplomatic exercise that the french have been conducting with the support of britain and germany for several weeks now to try and reduce the tensions over the iran nuclear agreement and there has been talk of possibly iran back to the limits on its enrichment activities which it has slightly disregarded recently. and in return for that at getting some of its oil that is currently blocked still on international markets but we don't know whether that is what was discussed and we don't know what the bottom lines are either united states or iran both of whom would have to talk to the french frankly if the french are to pull off a new phase in these difficult discussions but what was today likely to have accomplished. well there are 2 scenarios one unlikely and one lightly the unlikely one is that they made excellent progress but some form of agreement is in mr serry pocket and he needs of course to check that with his leader ayatollah ali the leaders of other countries were present in beer it's that of course you're a new leader was a better think is unlikely i think there's far too

you really get a sense ofjust how close germany and britain have been. even as it seeks to prevent it, this city, this country, is stealing itself for a painful farewell. —— steeling. we know prime minister is expected to turn up in berlin and ask chancellor merkel if there is a chance that the irish backstop may be with moved —— removed from the withdrawal. angela merkel is very keen to maintain a good working and trading relationship with britain, regardless of what happens. but he is likely to be refused. it's worth just looking at why angela merkel would be so anti— that kind of move. she doesn't like walls, she doesn't wa nt to she doesn't like walls, she doesn't want to see a hard border. but she is very keen to protect the integrity of the single market and she along with the other eu leaders see a concern about the integrity of that single market and if the arrangements on the island of ireland unsatisfactory free and it's worth pointing out that angela merkel is not going to diverged from the eu's standard line. as far as angela merkel, the eu 27

italy and britain are considering the same. germany hasn't made up its mind. president trump has a clear message. you hit the power houses of the u.s. economy. the digital companies. you hit them with taxes that you say is unfair and we will respond. this is what he said he will do. >> i don't want france going out and taxing our companies. very unfair. if they do that we will be taxing their wine or doing something else. taxing their wine like they have never seen before. i don't like it. that is for us to tax them, not for france to tax them. other than that i have a very good relationship as you know -- i think we will have a very good couple of days. >> all of that in the flesh is arriving in the shape of president trump in a long time emanuel macron, the french president. the fires in brazil and iran will be among the topics as well. >> i just wonder to put it bluntly if there is a point to the meeting. you have the most powerful country in the group, the u.s. that does not like multilateralism and does not want to play ball and has totally different poli
