that was a dig at president trump but today he's doubled down and donald trump is saying -- rather donald tusk is saying that donald trump should not be underestimated. he is systematic, consistent and has a method to undermine what the european values are in respect to the transatlantic relations. so they're worried the alliance is being demeaned, disrupted and denigrated. i guess they're worried president trump could pull some support and u.s. involvement in nato itself. >> i think they're worried about that. i think more importantly inside europe they face challenges to the democratic rules and norms that have grown and strengthened the system and they watched in the united states as president trump poses challenges to an independent judiciary in the united states, an independent media in the united states and it is these democratic values that differentiate us from countries like russia and china and that have made us strong over these 70 years and have made this a democratic alliance and if the united states doesn't do its historic job of standing up for those values and defending them an

ros: we did hear from donald tusk, the council president. this cry of fake news -- anyone who says [indiscernible] peddling in fake news. we might hear later tonight from jean-claude juncker, he is in china later for the summit you mentioned. he may have something to say about this. definitely i think as more people hear about this comment will they will push back because i don't think for the most part that lawmakers in the u.s. and certainly business leaders really see europe as a foe. they see them as the strongest ally. ramy: a lot of people have their eyebrows rise when they heard that comment. , this couldsuccess be very subjective depending on if you are mr. trump or mr. putin, but what would be deemed a success after they meet? ros: the goal post is shifting. it is interesting comments from president trump today on twitter, he basically said, if i got the moon, you would ask her the stars. he said if i got russia to give us moscow, you ask for st. petersburg. he said nothing will keep the media happy. we did hear from john bolton, .h

positions on trade policy donald tusk also spoke at the conference and levelled his opinion on what the trade deal will mean politically. it's a lie in the increasing darkness of international politics. we are sending a clear message. that you can count on us we have predictable both japan and the you predicted the responsible and will continue defending the based on rules on freedom transparency and commerce. it's also notable that the day before the signing the trade deal the two e.u. leaders met with chinese officials in beijing to talk trade. and we love talking about cryptocurrency is that there's always more than we can get to sort today we pick just the very best news stories that are top of our list for discussion to do so we are once again joined by crypto experts kristie are the tech trader phone and jeffrey talk of the editorial director of the american institute for economic research welcome to you both chrystia want to start with you about two weeks ago we spoke about the resistance level on bit coin trading in the mid six thousand dollar range but that level has been surpa

wouldn't think of the european union but there are folks these comments to a quick response from donald tusk e.u. council president america and the e.u. are best friends who have a says we are foes is spreading fake news. the theme of trump's time in europe ruffled feathers the president's relationship with russia has been under scrutiny since he was elected president casting doubt on the strength of the u.s. european alliance ahead of a summit with russia only adds fuel to the fire. and did over his peter craven is covering today's summit in helsinki for us first of all peter why helsinki why are the two men meeting in the finnish capital. well christopher for more we gather this was a suggestion that came from donald trump itself himself he put that suggestion to his team he said he wanted to have a backdrop that would be monumental no i when you look behind me and you see the president's palace across there the yellow fronted building where the press conference is going to take place between putin and trump this afternoon it doesn't look exactly monumental and i think when we talk about m

( cheers ) >> reporter: the daring rescue mission ended in cheers. the excitement could hardly be contained. "we're not sure if t

trump even though it doesn't agree with much of what he has been saying now within the last hour donald tusk who's the president of the european council has delivered his speech on the opening day of this china e.u. summit and he appealed to the leaders of russia china and the united states to avoid chaos and conflict he said he wanted those countries to work with the european union to prevent conflict now it's not sure what sort of conflict he's referring to whether it means trade war or perhaps the other kind of conflict because history shows us the trade wars can often lead to the real thing i mean in the thirty's for instance there was a trade war between britain and germany and look what that led to so an impassioned plea from donald tusk on the opening day of this important summit here in beijing so the are the eyes of the world very much on beijing martín and helsinki at the moment absolutely and the europeans while for them reaffirming their commitment to multilateralism into the global system of trade they also got a few problems with haven't they with the way that china does its bu

we have the comment from donald tusk and the other person worse thinking about is michel barnier, thes expecting talks to recommence on monday next week, with dominic grab here in town for the first time. like the other leaders, he is king on social media, but nothing today. joining me now from westminster is labour mp and brexiteerjohn mann. you campaigned with borisjohnson. are you sorry to see him go? i am not surprised. it was predictable. at some stage he would resign and the only question was when. it has happened now. no surprise whatsoever. he was a resignation a lwa ys whatsoever. he was a resignation always waiting to happen. what do you make of his argument that effectively brexit is dying, suffocated by needless self—doubt in the government? the people who seem to be celebrating, there is a little gaggle of libertarian conservatives around him and they are celebrating, because they want a no deal, they wa nt because they want a no deal, they want a cheap labour brexit with wages going down and they are to remain as who want a second referendum are celebrating as well, beca

that's right it was a very urgent and impassioned plea by donald tusk he's here in beijing part of a high level e.u. delegation that's participating in the twentieth edu china summit of course on paper elizabeth china and the european union would appear to have a lot in common right now both have tariffs imposed on them by president donald trump both are quarrelling with trump over his trade policies china would very much like to form a sort of coalition a united front with europe against president donald trump but i sense that european leaders are very wary of doing that particularly as president from but at the moment is weighing up whether to impose tariffs of up to twenty percent on imports of all european car so they don't want to antagonize him in any way but certainly don't want to came here with a message aimed not just that is host china but also at the leaders of russia and the united states this is what he had to say it is a common duty of europe and china america and russia not to destroy this of the. but to improve it not to start through a divorce. which turned into a h

the underlying point that donald tusk makes, i think, is exactly right. the one difference between the united states and russia, the united states and china, is that we have allies. they have clients. our allies are a immeasurable addition to our power, to our military power, to our economic power, to our political power in dlo diplomacy. that's our biggest advantage. right now, donald trump seems to be more interested in having a fight with our allies and having good relations with our a adversaries than the other way around. that's a huge departure. >> betsy and eugene, what are the chances president trump goes tough on putin when he meets on monday? >> i don't think they're particularly high. the president has done nothing to indicate that he is going to try to crack down on russia's aggressive actions. in fact, there is an important shift in the way the president talks about europe that we can't overlook. one of the criticisms the president has made of the nato alliance is that it benefits europe while hurting the united states. europe gets more out o

. >> reporter: today, european council president donald tusk urged mr. trump to soften his rhetoric. >> america, appreciate your allies. after all, you don't have that many. and your, spent more on your defense. >> nato allies are -- before the summit with president vladimir putin next week. >> frankly, putin may be the easiest of them all. who would think. >> reporter: despite russia's aggressive moves in ukraine and confirmed election meddling in the u.s., the president today wouldn't say if putin was friend or foe. >> i aren't can't say right now. as far as i'm concerned, a competitor. a competitor. >> reporter: in between the nato and putin summits, the president will stop in london. he appeared to take a jab at prime minister theresa may by praising her recently resigned foreign secretary, boris johnson. >> boris johnson's friend of mine. he's been very, very nice to me, very supportive. maybe i'll speak to him when i get over there. >> major is with us now. theresa may is in big trouble right now in england, major. what kind of reception is the pre

trade tensions saying there is a danger they could spiral out of control european council president donald tusk was speaking in beijing today at the opening of a summit between china and the european union comes at a time when both the e.u. and china find themselves targeted by u.s. house. it's trade tensions continue to flare elsewhere there are signs that the economic relationship between the e.u. and china remain stable the two sides say they're close to reaching a bilateral investment agreement that commitment comes as fears grow over the impact of america's unpredictability. the europe china and the. american president trump and russian president putin can give. the fact. that the architecture of the world is changing before our eyes. and to this our common responsibility to make that change for the better. china and the e.u. also signed their first joint declaration since twenty fifteen the document mentions the need to address overcapacity on the global steel markets officials also discuss plans to reform world trade organization rules based on the same day that china filed a w t o chall

wouldn't think of the european union by their fold and that of course brought a direct response from donald tusk he's president of the european council and he tweeted america and the e.u. are best friends whoever says we are photos is spreading fake news so terry is this just an elaborate plan from donald trump to make these statements before his meeting with the russian leader. well far be it for me to know what donald trump is planning but it certainly has been his modus operandi on this entire trip to europe i was also covering the nato summit in brussels and on the morning that that meeting was to start in a completely unscathed chilled unscripted and and surprising announcement he started lashing out at germany and chancellor angela merkel in a breakfast that was just supposed to be a photo op saying there again as he has now that germany on trade doesn't treat the us fairly that it shouldn't be spending its money on gas from russia when in trump's words the u.s. is spending its billions to protect germany so that seems to be what he's doing again lashing out at the europeans and in that in

council president donald tusk senate deal sent a strong message against protectionism the agreement removes tariffs on nearly all japanese imports to the e.u. japan will also lift duties on ninety four percent of e.u. imports the deal sealed in tokyo is the largest ever negotiated by the european union and michael johns will have a complete coverage of that story in business coming up in a little bit for now but let's move on to some other stories making headlines around the world former u.s. president barack obama has wrapped up a brief trip to kenya he paid a visit to his father's home village where he showed off his basketball skills as he opened the sports and training center run by his half sister obama traveled on to south africa to attend a tribute to nelson mandela's one hundredth birthday. japanese media say an extreme heat wave has killed point. a dozen people there in the last three days thousands more have been taken to the hospital for heat related illnesses the soaring temperatures are hampering recovery efforts in parts of the country hit by deadly floods last week. in hawaii

from brussels we've seen a tongue in cheek reaction from the president of the european council donald tusk he tweeted today that politicians come and go but the problems they have created for people remain i can only regret that the idea of breaks it has not left with davis and johnson but who knows. you know he does know our very own dear watson is in brussels on the story for us tonight georg the european union doesn't seem very impressed with what we saw today in london how are european countries how are they going to deal with the chaos that is unfolding right now. rex it from the european perspective has proved to be very costly both regarding time and effort not to mention goodwill and so there was some hope here on the part of the european union that finally the the u.k. was about to put a plan on the table because from the european perspective what is holding things up in this whole negotiating process is the lack of vision of the u.k. a clear vision with bullet points on a piece of paper a plan how they want to do this practice it and the fact now that this is being trump itote by

imagine where you are in brussels all eyes are on downing street to have we heard from the likes of donald tusk the president of the european council. yes we heard in the form of twitter yes taking to alter his opinions on twitter is another person on the international scene does so frequently and doesn't just because developed a certain sort of big quit during the last weeks and months and he has said that he hoped that the whole idea for exit would have left was david davis and boris johnson everybody's life then would be so much easier so much is clear because what this means for brussels is that they're thrown back to zero we just completely have to restart that was a certain faint hope last friday that the cabinet in london had finally united on a position at that what one could start into a more detailed. negotiations however that is now completely blown up and what to do wait till the chaos in london has sorted itself out and the government the conservative parties stops negotiating with the self as it has done in the last thirteen of fifteen months and so more or less proselyte thrown b

wouldn't think of the european union but there are folks these comments to a quick response from donald tusk e.u. council president america and the e.u. are best friends who have or says we are photos is spreading fake news. the theme of trump's time in europe ruffled feathers the president's relationship with russia has been under scrutiny since he was elected president costing doubt on the strength of the u.s. european alliance ahead of a summit with russia only adds fuel to the fire. well as mentioned it remains unclear exactly what presidents trump and putin are going to be talking about in helsinki so earlier i asked peter craven in helsinki if any details had to fall about their agenda we do assume they're going to talk about crimea ukraine syria nuclear proliferation and those accusations of meddling on the part of russia perhaps the orders of readymade brought in in u.s. elections in u.s. democracy but we really don't know and this is very much donald trump style that he wants to go in there and have a one on one conversation that's very much sort of man to man we're not even going t

for european leaders and that you know that's what we've heard the comments that we've heard from donald tusk for example but i hear them all the time now in germany where i'm based for torture vella journalist an ordinary people very great concern in europe these days especially peter coming into this meeting as donald trump in an interview is called the european union a follow on the trade front at least you know what do you make of those words. he's aggressive it's aggressive language and you wonder. where it comes from quite you know that the shared tradition the transatlantic tradition between you and i'm sorry i'm going to have to turn my mobile phone off or come back to it a moment. all right peter craven there covering the summit for us outside of the presidential palace peter's phone ringing lots of people interested in speaking to you peter. and then let's come back to would tyson barker with us here in our studio all right tyson it looks like actually that's all we have time for at the moment we've been following this summit in helsinki between russian president vladimir putin and

but the eu president, donald tusk is responding by saying we're actually best friends. and, quote, whoever says we are foes is spreading fake news. norah? >> a lot of pushback there. weija, thank you so much. now, what might vladimir putin request of mr. trump at this summit? well, elizabeth palmer has done extensive reporting from moscow over the years and tells us what to expect.n e world cup finals kicked off tonight in moscow, vladimir putin was at the game, showing not a hint of presummit stress. he's on a roll. the tournament has been a triumph for russia and a personal pr coup for him. the last time he met president trump, back in november, both men were all smiles, but there's no telling what the chemistry will be like tomorrow. and the kremlin has deliberately kept expectations for a successful summit low. when russia invaded an annexed crimea in 2014, the u.s. slapped on sanctions, and has been piling more on ever since over russia's support for separatists in eastern ukraine, and especially for meddling in america's 2016 presidential election. mr. putin would

after, you don't have that many. >> a blunt message from donald tusk there.he nato summit coming ahead of president trump's sit-down with vladimir putin in helsinki, finland. let's bring in international diplomatic editor for cnn, nic robertson, live at nato headquarters. any reaction from nato members to trump's comments this morning? >> reporter: interesting because we've had reaction from the german deputy defense minister, who says, look, this fuel-energy pipeline that president trump is talking about is something that dates back to 2002-2003. it's a business deal that was put in place a long time before russia annexed crimea, went over the border into ukraine, both international illegal actions that germany has responded to. angela merkel since then has really fallen out with vladimir putin. she speaks russian. she trusted him to a degree. she doesn't trust him now. but as the deputy defense minister says, it's kind of difficult to pull out of that kind of business deal quickly. but this is what president trump is referring to, saying quite clearly, germ

this is donald tusks' message to donald trump today.f all, dear america, appreciate your allies. after all, you don't have that many. and dear europe, spend more on your defense because everyone respects an ally that's well prepared and equipped. obviously the second part you're going to like and the president is going to like, but he's pretty much punching back because president trump has treated these allies as mere transactional cogs in a wheel. >> well, i think that president trump actually has very great respect for our allies. he does think that there should be more because it is a european alliance, along with north america. i think he's been plain about that. christiane, i think that his goal is to make sure that nato is the strongest umbrella for security for all of us. and i think that our allies realize that. and i know that the way he says things sometimes put people off, but he's just trying to make the point and make sure that they actually do it. now, christiane, you know i served with other presidents and they all said t

president donald trump ahead of this nato summit this came from the president of the european council donald tusk who warned trump about a billion eating his allies the president on. america does not target. than europe and america appreciate your allies after all you don't have that money well this is because donald trump and washington have threatened to withdraw from the nato alliance unless all members make those two percent contributions of g.d.p. now this meeting kicked off with that tirade from donald trump it was expected all along to be a tense meeting but this is shaping up many think to be the most divisive meeting in native's entire history. donna dubinsky that what britain says it's further demonstrating its commitment to nato by boosting its presence in afghanistan prime minister to resign major announced an extra four hundred forty non-combat troops in the biggest military commitment in more than a decade or more this now like the westminster artes and of those that either one of the potential implications of may's move. well you know call and certainly the timing of this announcem

the uk government agreed to the backstop idea in december, theresa may reiterated this to donald tuske of the chequers agreement, which we know is going nowhere, we don't need a backstop and everything will be ok. the irish government and michel barnier are saying, no, we cannot move ahead with anything to do with the withdrawal until we get the backstop sorted out. it doesn't need to be the wording that the eu have proposed, they have invited the british to come back, the irish have said we can sit down and talk about the wording. that may or may not happen. that is the first thing. the second thing is what happened in the house of commons, iain says it is probably dead in the water, or most of it is. any agreement based around a customs arrangement in the chequers agreement is not going to get through the house of commons. furthermore, michel barnier is pretty cool about it, he has sent back several questions through the british government, saying, can we have further details about how he would run a customs arrangement like this, so on and so forth. it is pretty unlikely that will
