and also, borisjohnson is eurosceptic, brussels—sceptic, if you like? kind of sentiment is often coming from warsaw as well. so is this kind of a meeting of minds? absolutely so. we were very much like—minded, in particular with regard to russia. well, it is not so long ago, 2018, when there was this attempted poisoning of sergei skripal and his daughter, yulia, by the kremlin. we know that today, with times of hybrid war, as they say — the war of a new type — there can be simultaneous attacks on many different fronts. and russia is capable of doing this. this is why we all have to be vigilant to their next steps, or potential next steps. and this is why so good friends like the united kingdom and poland, we should not only share our opinion very often with each other, which we do so, with boris, on a regular basis. but we should immerse in an in—depth discussion and cooperation on an operational level. ok, but you say that the threat is that europe is being destabilised. that's right. that everybody has to wake up from their geopolitical slumber, you s

there's brussels. have the right with hold promise, coven hungary funds from hungary for this talk about and re, 1st before we get on to poland, was the picture there in hungary. i don't know the situation in hungary obviously, but it's quite a mark about you know, how much you are being county 7 of the 70, if you can blackmail them in the way they do. but of course in hungary and poland, the net receiver of the you, friends, the you can use that weapon to pressure them on ethical issues like mediation or whatever. i mean, i found that very, i mean, you know, it shows how and democratic the whole situation is. but if you sign up for a club, i suppose a club being the us post the, you know, the argument if you got to abide by the clubs rules. yeah, i suppose it in the read the fine print when the saying something like that. i mean, the left who, yeah, that's who they, they're probably, i don't know exactly. and how much does the holdings in hungary and poland violate do you also, is that something that

and less control for brussels and less control for brussels and less control for national leaders andel always push back against. so, this phrase is actually in the new german clinician agreement and something all of schultz is very keen on and this could mean more powers going to the eu in terms of security and in terms of migration and certainly something that the french president emmanuel macron wants and now you have that in berlin as well. say you are quite right, a sense of continuity in style but actually under this fsp see some big changes in the eu over the next two years if their plans come to fruition. stay with us on news, still to come: we'll be remembering mike nesmith the guitarist with the sixties band the monkees — who's died aged 78 an inquestjury has concluded that police errors probably contributed to the deaths of three young men who were murdered by the serial killer, stephen port. the jury found that flaws in the investigation into the first death in east london, meant he was free to kill three more times before he was caught. port is serving life for the murder

next stop, brussels. there, annalena baerbock stressed the importance of the eu in germany.t is not just about the military but also a question of diplomacy, the rule of law and a strong, shared economy in the eu. music to the ears of the eu's foreign policy chief. >> congratulations annalena. your efforts to promote european action and values is certainly very much needed. >>, baerbock met with the nato attorney general for speaking with john kerry. brent: let's start with the end of today. baerbock meeting the u.s. climate envoy, john kerry. this is an example of two meetings of the minds with these two. >> it is. an establishment figure like john kerry in brussels on the same day as the first ever job to talk about climate change. annalena baerbock has made it clear that while she is foreign minister, as a green elected politician, part of her foreign policy is going to be about dealing with the climate crisis. there is no question that john kerry's place as special envoy from the white house on this issue that that is an important meeting for her to have had. brent: she

and of course, there is a meeting of european officials in brussels. it's one of you might say the last before the christmas and new your holidays. it was expected. but while they talk about ukraine and russia and china, there is this issue at the top of the agenda, the pandemic, the restrictions, and the inevitable pushback as well. yes, he leaders have been talking about that. in fact, they've just wrapped up that section of discussions on the agenda was the main focus of the summit in brussels because the infection rates are for and in so many countries across the block and governments are trying to find ways to stop the spread to cover the spread of this virus which is causing so much devastation, obviously not any just in terms of health, but also for the economy. now what you leaders have decided in the confusions that they have adopted off to the fair discussions is to speed up the rollouts or the vaccine, please the program to try and also put in place some measures, find some ways to try and persuade people who don't want to get the vaccine to

i then went on to say that he was warning that the block, brussels itself shouldn't move in a direction a path where it imposes such woke language. this is what he had to say. in history many, many dictatorships have tried to do this kind of thing. think of napoleon, think of the nazi dictatorship, the communist one. it is something that throughout history hasn't worked now that document has already been canceled after it's drew a firestorm of criticism in the last week. and that's because some of the things that contain people, federal act, common sense, there was also accusations that brussels was trying to cancel christmas. that's because this 30 page document to recommended the people shouldn't say christmas can be stressful. now, other examples in this sort of equality type language that von delaying the european commission president herself has been pushing now for the last few years. included saying that you shouldn't greet an audience with the term, ladies and gentlemen, because lapse, not inclusive. and the idea of describing something is being man made well, that sexist? so a

if a new plan from brussels gets the go ahead, a rights group oxfam meantime, told us the move alternately, throws away the rulebook. we could have managed as easily, but apparently the commission is not very interested in doing that. and on the, on the con, very, and hits 38 countries, the world health organization tells us more time as needed to understand if this new variant is a threat. we do not have report a dis moorland that is causing more severe disease or diabetes more he thought this is not something that we should pack your radar. we really need more time. ah, it is sunday evening here on the russian capital. this is our t international yourself to 7 pm here at moscow now to the top highlights of the past week. it's a lack of diplomacy. apparently, that's what rushes foreign minister has accused. ne, so all you also exchange tough words with his us counterpart at a meeting of the organization for security and cooperation in europe. also giving this stalk warning just ahead of that meeting. if us pick those up as a nightmare scenario of military confrontation has returned to eur

the omicron variant and tensions with rush hour are on the agenda is your pain, latest mates in brussels. press freedom at risk reporters without borders say at least 46 journalists have been killed. this ca, doing their job. and bangladesh celebrates 50 years of independence. but to some, the split from pakistan remains a painful memory. ah, we start with some breaking news rescue operations are underway in parts of the philippines that have been hit by one of the strongest storms in the world. the c, tens of thousands of people are being moved to emergency shelter in the southern in central pines of the country. officials say about 10000 villages are in the projected path of the typhoon. shamella alan dugan has more from manila what we're seeing basically, whatever dates that are made available at this point, i just snippets of what's actually happening at the moment. um, no, typhoon ry made land for on char go. island. you know, i don't tourist destination on the eastern part of them in, in our region. and it is a slow moving typhoon. which means that it's going to batter a lot of the

it measures this in the belgian capital of brussels, the scenes have descended into chaos. ah, fireworks have been exploding in the streets while police have been using tear gas and water cannon and estimated 8000 people march through brussels to day chanting freedom. the demonstrate as have been ann good by the increased use of covert health passes and talk of potential compulsory vaccinations in the new year. now while the cobra mainly poses a threat to elderly and vulnerable people, a children apparently now are not entirely immune and we visited one child health clinic here in moscow. ah, what age are the children here and what condition are they in to? our children are age from one level to 17 years. the conditions varied severity for children here severely l and in the intensive care unit. unlike adults, co related pneumonia is less common among children. but it still happened was in showing 3 to full and c t severity for 32234. so this means complete lung damage, almost 100 percent or store. or what is especially alarming is that very importantly, just like an adult,

well, that's a very popular view in brussels and elsewhere. and as we said, you know, it's a very dangerous world. but i think it was the calculation that has gone missing in this discussion is that if you start to use trade instruments like this is the problem, is that the europe, or is the world's largest exporter, meaning that whatever damaged or europe can do to china, united states or iran on whichever come to talking about they could actually retaliate back. and this is actually a thought that rarely occurs to people in brussels. meaning that actually europe doesn't exist in a vacuum. and we rarely have the last words simply because actually we are more depending on trade than anyone else. so in other words, you, we decided to use down to caution the instrument china, the united states could simply retaliate and actually impose similar sanctions against us. and that would actually hurt more because our economies actually more trade dependent on china. so i have to say surprises me that you say that this thought that basically that you co

olaf scholz is in brussels for his wrist eu summit. leaders from the eu are considering sanctions over its military buildup and the ukrainian border. after a short break, i will be back to take you through the day. tonight, the pandemic and pressure, these two use crises. i will ask, right after the break. ■í÷í÷í÷í÷■p >> welcome back to the newsroom in paris. the french government announces new measures for travel between france and the u.k. with concerns over the rapidly spreading variant of covid. i'm its it could be dominant in europe within weeks, leaders are discussing how best to tackle the containment threat. in brussels, leaders are warning of consequences in the event russia invades ukraine. 100,000 russian troops are amassed on the border.

. >>>> what will the reaction be in beijing to what is being announced in brussels?e know from the chinese government's perspective, their hope is the belt and road initiative, which is the 80 rival as it were to what is being proposed in brussels is aiming to reach prude -- reach fruition on the 100th anniversary of the communist party taking control of mainland china. we know the chinese government has invested a considerable amount of money, the last time the announcement of money was made in 2019 when xi jinping announced $127 billion. no fresh announcement since then. the question is how this will play a what countries will wish to allied themselves with the chinese perspective and which will want to align themselves with that you use perspective -- the e.u.'s perspective remembering those in europe and united states have real concerns about china's investment in other countries around the world. that is how to view this announcement from brussels. >> let's talk to the senior fellow at the center for global development. he joins us from washington. thanks for be

what, i think, will be interesting, though, is how she handles the relationship with brussels.ary, she is much more aware, i think, of the broader relationship with the european union countries, that is part of her remit, than lord frost needed to be, so will she be as combative and how will she approach it? you're watching bbc news. let's return to covid—i9 now. earlier i got the reaction on the infection numbers from professor martin mckee of the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine. the data reported today that many of these cases will have actually been detected earlier, so if we look back, even as far back as last monday, we are still seeing that 55,000 were reported that day, but since then we have had a backfilling in the numbers, and they are substantially higher, so that figure, will in due course, turn out to be much greater than we are seeing today. so, would that then match this expected scenario of the doubling? yeah, we have got lots of data to show that the omicron variant is doubling every two days or less at the minute, so, yes, that is exactly... we

we go to our european correspondent, maria tadeo, in brussels.uch of a concern are the rocketing bills? maria: it is another week we are debating energy prices. this is the purpose of the meeting. it is happening today in brussels, and it has big consequences. the impact this will have on consumers and households as we go into the winter, everyone wants to heat their home, but you do not want that to cost you an arm. we also know it feeds into the biggest economic and political debate in europe, which is inflation. those stories are feeding into one, and we are seeing going into the meeting there is a document making the rounds in brussels. the spanish, the italians, the greeks and french suggesting there needs to be a common european response. national measures will not begin off, and this needs to be dealt at a european level. we know in the past some do not share this opinion. every nation has to put forward its own plan. tom: the divisions among member states on how far to go, is there any sign that prices will start to ease if or if not we g

it led to a tense relationship with brussels. choice, would he go for someone similar who would reassure many in the party or go for someone who might be taking a softer approach, maybe a smoother relationship. now he is sending a signal, moving it back in the foreign office, to liz truss. she was a remainer but now a strong brexit supporter, an advocate of britain's global role. this will be seen as a reassuring message amongst the backbenchers, that liz truss is taking the role. she shared some of the outlook that lord frost wanted, wanting to seize opportunities from brexit. she has spoken about similar things. the key question is how this works with the relationship with brussels. others say that this is such a complicated set of negotiations, stretching across so many government departments, dealing with brexit, it was moved out because it deals with all of them and it is more thanjust because it deals with all of them and it is more than just the because it deals with all of them and it is more thanjust the foreign office.

what will the reaction b in b ging to what is being announced in brussels? we know that from the chinese government's perspective, their hope is that their belton road initiative, which is the effectively the rival as it were to what is being proposed in brussels, is aiming to reach fruition by 2049. the 100 anniversary of the communist party taking control of mainland china. so that's from one perspective. we know also the chinese government already invested a very considerable amount of money. the last time that's an announcement of money was made, was in 2019. when she jan ping announced a $127000000000.00. no fresh announcements from bay ging since then. the question is how this will play out what countries will wish to align themselves with the chinese perspective, and which will want to align themselves with the use perspective. remembering that there are those in europe, in the united states who have real concerns about china's investment in other countries around the world. that's how to view this announcement from brussels. i let's talk now to a sco
