now the e u u. s. and other g 7 countries plan to set up their own trillion dollar infrastructure projects for poor countries. while speaking of china, chinese investment in europe saw a clear drop in the last year. that's according to a new study from the berlin bass merricks institute and the rhodium group. it says direct investment fell by 45 percent in 2020 from the year before. that was year in which europe politicians actually feared a 3rd of chinese investments as big businesses struggled under the pandemic. so what's behind the new trends? take a look. chinese media group takeover of german robot make a cuckoo in 2016 was one of the more headline grabbing chinese investments. germany, france and the u. k. are the most important targets for chinese foreign direct investment. but in recent years, chinese f. d i has waned in 2016 country invested over 44000000000 euros buying shares, or even entire companies based in the e. u. a year later that figure had tumbled to under 30000000000. the down tre

me, rex, it is also putting the german logistics sector under pressure. exports from the e. u to the u. k. now take much longer once a week, colon francis drives from northridge westphalia to the u. k. and back again. his employer specializes in transports to england. collin, a native britain likes his job. he was stationed nearby as a soldier for a long time. he chose to stay in germany to raise his 4 children and retrain as a truck driver. but recently he's had to put up with a lot of hassle. knocked claremore checks and everything takes longer than that sites on. but if i get, i'm lucky, i might wait 3 days just for the paperwork and talk. sometimes it's ready straight away, but sometimes it takes a few hours. but if i'm unlocking it can take 3 days, but i target the last time he hopes to be back from the u. k. in 3 days, he has plans when he gets home, like in the hall and i want to take out my children and do something fun. to see him back to king baking the 150 drivers and the company faced the same problems as colon. many feel stressed out. it's difficult to make plans

it is disappointing in the life of the, the e u announcement of a new digital cobit passport. which is going to start on the 1st of july, which will enable any of the $27.00 countries of any of the $27.00 countries to travel with complete freedom and impunity from one country to another. now clearly when a part of the e u, but i would very much hope that our government would be given the fact that we've, we've got the best vaccination role that our government would be pressing to you to say ok for our citizens that are, that are double jams, please, please, please can we have the same? same recognition in facilities of travel? now the u. s. media has become the world's least trusted and has seen sharp falls in viewers and readers. this, according to a study by britons oxford university. the poll of almost $100000.00 people around the globe found that finland has left to the top spot with $2.00 and $3.00 there, believing their media. by contrast, research has said that coverage of the pandemic by us outlets contributed to less than 30 percent. now trusting them. and that collap

thus there is no consensus within the e u on how to move forward. the ball remains in brussels court, the the cross talking russia e u relations. i'm joined by my guess, john laughlin in paris. he is a university lecture in history and political philosophy in nashville. we have thomas schwartz. he is a professor of political science and european studies at vanderbilt university. and here in moscow we have dmitri slough, he's the deputy director of the center for comprehensive european and international studies. at the higher school of economics. i totally cross talk roles and effect. that means you can jump in anytime you want, and i always appreciate, let me go to john. first in paris we have an impasse, not the 1st time in the repeating year when it comes to foreign policy. last time we had the semblance of a good relations was back in 2014, before the 4th regime change, and it's been downhill ever since. so where do we stand right now? and i, and i want to talk, ask on our, our panelists, dmitri, why should we even care anymore? it's been 7 years

currently, it is down to individual e u. member states to decide on the rules governing the boarders. we are moving its speed through vaccination program to help us cub this latest fair. and we will continue to have discussions with our european partners on the reopening of international travel. but we're very confident that our vaccination program is providing a good way forward. so pressure on europe to kickstart their economy once again and of course tourism is very much the heart of it. but there's also a pressure on the european union to have a united front. and that could see the brits are going to have this. i'm a counselor again the chair of the institute of travel and tourism told us that he expects britain to fight for its citizens. right to holiday abroad is very disappointing. germany, poland, and italy have unilaterally imposed quarantine restrictions. it is disappointing in the life of the, the e u announcement of your digital koby passport, which is going to start on the 1st of july, which will enable any of t

before proving the latest measures, the e. u is also planning wide ranging sanctions that would target whole sectors of the bella lucien, a. com fedloan and take enough guys message to the you with clear. take courage and don't wait. the beller will see an opposition. nita had been invited to luxembourg as the guest of e. u. foreign ministers. she's demanding decisive action against bella was the leader, alexander lucretia, and coax. and that is exactly what the e. u is now doing with far reaching economic sanctions discovered us. i think that the sanctions that will hurt and i had heard so much that this regime will come to it's nice in the, in the lives targeting the state, potash industry and better us imports of fertilizer. what millions of dollars will seen the band? the same applies to oil, an oil products from beller us. negotiation is also where ever came initial opposition from austria to agree sanctions targeting dollars in banking and other financial sectors. this is, and of course a nice and this isn't long as it rea

now it did seem as if the e u was putting on the united front, but already cracks are appearing. we know that some countries like france and germany, had gone into this summit saying what they really wanted was a summit with russia to open dialogue. but that was shut down by other countries, including poland, who said that they didn't want that to take place as such. there isn't any mention of a summit in that communique, just the idea of looking at relations with russia in the future. i'm to merkel german chancellor still thinks that dialogue is the way forward to pieces under the so i don't see these talks as an idea of giving the russian president any kind of reward. i would like to remind all of us that even during the cold war there was always dialect and channels of communication are open and it's better if the commission and the council president have a channel of communication open with russia instead of individual countries going it alone because after all, we would like to have a coordinated and concerted view that is express towards russia. i believe there is no drumme

and that also doing all the e u member states to follow suit as well. but it is raising eyebrows because yes, the indian delta variant is much more prevalent here in the united kingdom, but it's don't like it doesn't exist in those countries as well. in fact, the indian varian accounts around 70 percent of cases in some parts of the region in france, in many hotspots, like greece, spain, and portugal. they still have issues themselves with the delta variant, yet they are still welcoming brits into the country. now portugal vo says it will do anything that the e u decides wild countries like spain. hence it's even prepared for a bus stop with the blog. if it tries to deny brits entry. hopefully we can begin to receive british tourists and we don't have any restrictions and tories from the u. k. the moment they're the ones who are placing restrictions on when they return . so at a fast balance, it may seem like it makes sense to try and impose this quarantine for british tourists. however, when we cross checks, things like the testing regime here in the u

it is also putting the german logistics sector under pressure. exports from the e. u to the u. k. now take much longer once a week, colon francis drives from north ryan westphalia to the u. k. and back again. his employer specializes in transports to england. collin, a native britain likes his job. he was stationed nearby as a soldier for a long time. he chose to stay in germany to raise his 4 children and retrain as a truck driver. but recently he's had to put up with a lot of hassle. knock nath claremore checks and everything takes longer than that sites on. but if i get, i'm lucky, i might wait 3 days just for the paperwork and talk. sometimes it's ready straight away much. sometimes it takes a few hours. if i'm lucky, it can take 3 days, but i target the last time he hopes to be back from the u. k. in 3 days, he has plans when he gets home, like into a hole and i want to take up my children and do something fun with him back cooking baking, the 150 drivers in the company face the same problems as colon. many feel stressed out, it's difficult to make plans or have family time m

the reason the e u is the base for big tech companies, like facebook and apple. the u. s. and allies in the g 7 appeared to be coalescing around a corporate tax floor, a 15 percent on germany and france would be on board. that rate could take away ireland advantage and attracting companies. and for more on this, we joined by to get bigger masses standing by in london. she's our d. w correspondent there. and we're also joined by dominican longer myers. she's an economics professor at catholics university. i see that ingles dot, welcome to you both big. i want to start start with you. corporate minimum tax is the headline for this meeting today. but the, you can also said that it's worried that big tech won't be hit hard enough. what is the concern exactly? well the u. k. has traditionally had the emphasis on the digital services company the you can have a digital services tax where revenue for exam for the search engines or social media platforms. when these revenues are generated, a new car that they apply this tech. so you can wants to make sure that the digital services

now billy went on part of the e. u, but i would very much hope that our government would be given the fact that we've, we've got the best vaccination roll out, that our government would be pressing the you to say ok for our citizens that are, that are double jam. please, please, please, can we have the same same recognition facilities to travel? now the u. f. media has become the world's lead to trusted and has seen sharp falls in viewers and readers. this, according to a study by britons oxford university, the poll of almost a 100000 people around the globe found that finland has left to the top spot with 2 in 3, their believing their media. by contrast, researchers said that coverage of the pandemic by us outlets contributed to less than 30 percent of of now trusting them. and that collapse marks a massive drop in just a few years. just 4 years ago, almost 4 and 10 americans still had trust in their news organizations. journalist and r t host chris hedges says that u. s. media now puts pleasing its audience above tel

currently, it is down to individual e u. member states to decide on the rules governing their borders. we are moving its speed through vaccination program to help us cub this latest fair. and we will continue to have discussions with our european hardness on the reopening of international travel. but we're very confident that our vaccination program is providing a good way forward. so pressure on europe to kick thought their. 2 economy once again and of course tourism is very much the heart of it, but there's all the same pressure on the european union to have a united front. and that could see the brits are going to have some counseled again, well the chair of the institute of traveling tours and to tell us that mixed messages on the issue must stop. very disappointing. germany, poland and italy have unilaterally imposed currency and restrictions. and it is disappointing in the life of the, the e u announcement of a new digital cobit passport. which is going to start on the 1st of july, which will enable any of the $27.00 c

to remain in the e. u. some of the rules with rex it seem a bit strange, a bit weirds, i'm don't know whether it's necessary or unnecessary book is what it is. unfortunately, the journey to the u. k is smooth color must 1st deliver 6 new car bodies to a manufacturer in northern england here in london in the bustling district of kentish town. ed's art vanderbilt has found the place he called home half british half dutch heads are never wants to move away from the u. k. even if he's frustrated by the government, he voted to remain in the e. u. 2 years ago he found that an online business selling knitwear made of new zealand wool with his brand sheep inc. ed's ard wants to revolutionize the fashion industry, making clothing that is not only c o 2 neutral, but c o 2 negative. but the brackets that agreement is a huge hindrance, especially because a 3rd of his customers live in the u. we need to make the business work tight margins, which we historically been able to do. and then suddenly you're faced with these

it is also putting the german logistics sector under pressure. exports from the e. u to the u. k. now take much longer once a week, colon francis drives from northrop westphalia, to the u. k. and back again, his employer specializes in transports to england. collin, a native britain likes his job. he was stationed nearby as a soldier for a long time. he chose to stay in germany to raise his 4 children and retrained as a truck drivers. but recently he's had to put up with a lot of hassle. knocked claremore checks and everything takes longer and that sides on but if i get i'm lucky. i might wait 3 days just for the paperwork and i should talk sometimes it's ready straight away. sometimes it takes a few hours. but if i'm on locking, it can take 3 days that i target the last time he hopes to be back from the u. k. in 3 days, he has plans when he gets home, like kinda a whole and i want to take up my children and do something fun to see him. cooking baking will face the 150 drivers in the company face the same problems as collin. many feel stressed out, it's difficult to make plans or

ties with the e. u. well, you know very well that the boat exceeds end of and food and never, you know, of a and then we stay and we push. and what do you see? nicholas is that big cities and fans and germany and italy and allow them to allow themselves to be prevented from having relations with pleasure because of those states if they don't want to let them do it. but why should they prevent b. c, that's a whole absurdity of the union that you see. for example, if you take a counselor trans, there's never will be a disagreement between the not and the south of east of the west, of hands as to whether it should be. in addition, we treasure that to be a national beside the national level. and there may be additional regional differences for them, but not all of that. and you have because you obviously are not the official construction. they cannot or anybody see. so they don't have a good chance or in, but if you don't have intelligence, the c plus plus the most age would not be so important. if you are n

e. working with the n. s a here to spy on the u. l. i don't the u. s. do you make any distinction between that kind of spying and cyber hacking? well, listen, that kind of spine which we referred to as espionage, right? is actually far more dangerous. so there is a case of the solar wind case in which us agencies fly. agency said that russian state actors had gotten into us software and were able to spy on us. okay, that's not ransomware, that's fine. that is much more destructive. the u. s. does this all over the world . we know they've done it in the e. we know that they've the n s a tap the phones of world leaders, right? it's much or serious then some hacker getting into the ferry that takes you back and forth to martha's vineyard and saying i want them bitcoin to turn it back on. these are, those are much more serious instances, but there is a distinction between ransomware and cyber warfare. the u. s. again is heavily as a government in cyber warfare, not in ransomware, fed and co america, unraveling it all for us, right. so we'll go to coming up

and then the e. u now is ludicrous division is like even more hawkish if anything of the united states. yeah, and it's very interesting with the since break that here we have obviously the u. k . out. and now they've gone in the most kind of like the u. k is kind of the camp on them, right? for american health, around the world we discussed in the 1st part of the program going into the black, the maybe doing it for the showing their value. ok. because their influence obviously over the lease diplomatically as non existent anymore. so, i mean, and now we have a small number of countries within the u, dictating the direction of it. and, and i would say that the in the u. k. is role is it's more symbolic. than anything else, i mean, the symbolism is really humiliating. every step of the way here and then you have paralysis in europe. so again, i repeat my position, why should the russians particularly care if they are good, they need to do with counter nato. the rest of it is internal injury and european

and that's exactly what he's doing with this trip meeting the g 7, nato, the e u, and then sitting down, face to face with the russian president vladimir putin. james bays al jazeera, saint ives, activists in the u. k. welcome, jo biden's announcement said much more needs to be done. a group from the of our organization staged in our demonstration, near the site of the g. 7 summit they calling on lead us to address global vaccine inequality. they drew the faces of g 7 leaders in the sand, the slogan, share the vaccine, wave, the peyton. the inequality vaccine axis is staggering. in this county where we are now has vaccinated more people done. $22.00 african nations combines at this rate, the g 7 countries will have vaccinated the population within the next 6 or 7 months . whereas for the developing world, it will take 57 years to reach the same level of protection. so that why we're asking was really those who are meeting here today to allow more countries and more qualified manufacturers to produce the life saving vaccines during the holidays life process in pharma, fin cornwall, where

the bellows, the opposition nita had been invited to luxembourg as the guest of e. u. foreign ministers, she's demanding decisive action against fellows the leader, alexander lucas. shank. and that is exactly what the e. u is now doing with far reaching economic sanctions discovered us. i think that the sanctions that will hurt. and i had heard so much that this regime will come to it's nice in the us targeting the state, potash industry, and better us imports a fertilizer with billions of dollars will cindy band, the same applies to oil, an oil products from belarus, negotiation also, it became initial opposition from austria to agree sanctions targeting dollars in banking and other financial sectors. this is, and of course the nice and this one's long as it really is. a great achievement that we have succeeded in the last few days and making sure that everyone does their part to ensure that the sanctioned and now implemented of despite the fact that it also affects our own financial economy by midnight. and she gets all that you ladies have expressed concern about r

following all of this outrage, gwendolyn davis, cornfield e u. parliament report. you're on the rule of law in hungry. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. well, today's so many european union leaders agreed to impose wide ranging economic sanctions on mince for the 1st time. the measures target main export industries, prohibiting the import of products such as potash petroleum in tobacco, from bella, ruth, and stopping access to finance. meanwhile, a trial behind closed doors began of leading, bela roofing opposition figure shar, hey t, how of north sky. now he is one of 6 people facing charges including inciting, social hatred and organizing public disorder. t hi knew he was arrested last year after he made public his willingness to challenge alexander the shingo in last year's presidential election. now his wife let lorna to go over his election campaign. supporters say she won the election and not lucas chicago. and that led to months of protests in billiards or earlier we spoke with lana to handle sky ya, who lives in exile

she is also a french member of the e. u parliament l g b t q. intergroup is good to have you on the program. let's just make this clear to our viewers. what exactly is it about this new law in hungary that is not compatible with you values? well, it's simply, you know, the repressed is all content not only not neat to sexually, but the number of, of question ling to sexuality in general. and it says that you cannot show content content or give to children under 18. so it's not only filling the thing, they just any content that gives them the i just them the idea of what is questioning your, your identity, sexual identity, always questioning what you want to be in life. the idea behind is the, until 18. you should only see content, the only show you the sexual way of living in a very conservative and rigid way. we heard today from the judge prime minister mark router and he said, and i'm quoting him here, hungary has no place any more in the european union because of this new law. do you agree? the problem is that there's a

now the e u and the u. s. have resolved a 17 year dispute about aircraft subsidies. it means america's boeing and europe's air bus will not have to pay terrorists for 5 years. you as president joe biden is calling it a major breakthrough and says it also helps counter china's anti competitive practices in the ation sector. the agreement was reached off by met with you leaders in brussels during his fast trip to europe since taking office from brussel setbacks and has more on the day's events united front against china also economically. that's what joe biden wanted to achieve here in brussels. and to achieve that, he had to come up with an interesting offer. and the offer came in the form of a deal on aircraft subsidies. this had lab to legal battles lasting 17 years long and also met the terrorists imposed on both sides the e u and the u. s. it was all about state subsidies for boeing on one side in the us and on air bus here in the you. now there is a $5.00 fee of truth on these powers which means that the air between the us should . ringback be clear for why this

ah, the news the news live from berlin, a contentious e u. summit leaders reject a plan by germany and france to meet with russia. a lot of me put him under the microsoft discussions were not easy. members, they also say soft hungary, over a controversial new l. g b t q law that most you leaders say is homophobic. also coming up, fighting for breath, kenyon hospitals are battling a bright and coated cases due to the delta variance. we report on oxygen supply problems that are making a tough to tackle the ah, i'm see me. so misconduct was, you could join us. you leaders have rejected a plan to hold talks with russia. vladimir putin, france, and germany made the proposal, but he got plenty of backlash from baltic countries that summit and brussels. and there was another topic dividing member states. what to do about a new law in hungary that critics say is homophobic. more than half of you leaders condemn the legislation calling it discrimination that goes against your values. hungary prime minister, victor, or bon, says he has no intention of changing the law. rainbow colored read what

that was the slogan for the regular campaign to leave the e u. and at the beginning of the year, that's what the u. k. set out to do. but it turns out that divorce wasn't as seamless as some might have hoped. shipping agents like rob holloman are still struggling with the new reality. as red tape continues to put off, the drivers traveling between britain and the u. many are asking themselves how much more they can take. is it curtains for britain's logistics firms? there's almost nothing young haven't transported from here in east london, a company transports everything from food, stuff to tool. their operations are perfectly orchestrated. and rom, holloman is something like the conductor, only now he's watching musicians leave in, drove a lot of a with bricks in the i'm certain whether they'll be you to be welcome and it doesn't face about how much reassurance is offered. yes, we need these guys here and i've got a work that is not reassure them enough and a lot of them are disappearing back to the native land for extended periods all for good.

for decades, british logistics companies have attracted truckers from the e u. but ever since brags that came into effect, many no longer want to work in the u. k. you know, i have some friends said to me, i don't want to work anymore because, you know, before was like limited self employed. yeah. and this is a big problem. mm. fewer drivers and more bureaucracy for month. british logistics firms, have them settled with the consequences of bricks? it the very consequences rod mackenzie had long warned. the british government about essentially drivers field, they're no longer welcome off the brakes. it that we are an island nation, or we've become even more of an island nation. they don't like the red tape that goes with every, every load. they have to ship lots and lots of forms that they have to not necessarily fill in, but be aware of the pos for the authorities and it is no longer an open border with europe. so the job has got more difficult for years. right. mackenzie has been representing the interests of the trucking industry. now he's worried, the lack of

the pandemic has battered confidence in the e u. the survey was conducted by the european council. it found citizens are unhappy with the blogs, early response to the pandemic, and with the sluggish vaccination campaign in a number of states, more than half of those surveyed have low confidence in e u. with many respondents saying that disappointment in the national politics is even higher while the block itself faces issues over its members. policy going in line with the you law supremacy as brussels is to take legal steps against germany. this is the last as last year, the country's constitutional court ruby, you debt purchasing policy could be illegal even though that decision was later reversed to all of our hospital government fund buying or put it much simpler, the buying of, of debt. here in europe, we're talking about trillions of euro worth of it to prop fiscally, we could countries at the expense of low, so you perform better economically. here in germany, they've never been a big fund over it. and now the european commission in brussels is issued a legal rap on the nose

ah, a new pose found that the pandemic has battered trust in the e u. the survey was commissioned by the european council. they found citizens are unhappy with a blog, certainly response to the pandemic. and with the sluggish vaccination campaign also, and a number of member states, more than half of those surveyed said they had low confidence in the union. many respondents also said that they were even more disappointed in the national policies. while there's more trouble bring to the blog as a sponsor over the priority over e. u. of the you over national law, turns ugly with brussels threatening legal action against germany. last year, the country's constitutional court rubbed the you up the wrong way by ruling the debt purchasing scheme might be illegal. the late to reverse, the decision to oliver explains the spot. government funded by, you know, put it much simpler the buying of debt. here in europe, we're talking about trillions of euro, worse of it to prop fiscally, we could countries at the expense of low, so you perform better economically. her

me, rex, it is also putting the german logistic sector under pressure. exports from the e. u to the u. k. now take much longer once a week, colon francis drives from north ryan westphalia to the u. k. and back again. his employer specializes in transports to england. collin, a native britain likes his job. he was stationed nearby as a soldier for a long time. he chose to stay in germany to raise his 4 children and retrained as a truck driver. but recently he's had to put up with a lot of hassle, knocked claremore jacks and all that. everything takes longer than that sites on. but if i get, i'm lucky, i might wait 3 days just for the paperwork and talk. sometimes it's ready straight away. much, sometimes it takes a few hours, but if i'm unlocking it can take 3 days, but i target the this time he hopes to be back from the u. k. in 3 days. he has plans when he gets home like into a hole and i want to take out my children and do something fun to see him. cooking baking milfey, 150 drivers in the company face the same problems as colon. many feel stressed out . it's difficult to m
