song being imports to the e.u. have almost quadrupled commission president on close up as a sign the e.u. is delivering on promises made to president obama trump last week in an effort to dodge a trade war between the two sides. donald trump has certainly disrupted global trade flows especially when it comes to soybeans u.s. soybean farmers have seen prices for their produce plunged by twenty percent after their prime export market china imposed high tariffs in retaliation for u.s. tariffs on chinese goods the trade has almost ceased the e.u. was quick to take advantage of the cheaper u.s. crop something that must have been clear to commission president john claude younker last week when he promised trump the e.u. would step up u.s. soybean imports. the latest figures show that that process was already well underway. today that you can create commission has published the latest figures on e.u. imports of site beans showing an increase of two hundred eighty three percent in imports of say abuse from the u.s. bringin

leaving the e.u. means that it's medicines that it produces it's pharmaceutical companies they're no longer recognize and on the continent and on the same time we can't allow that because we want people to have the best medicines available solution needs to be found but and that's crucial the e.u. will not abandon its autonomy of decision making so when rob says as he did today well we should accept british standards we should accept british say testing procedures etc that is not going to happen brussels will not abandon its regulatory autonomy we would be looking for compromise but let's not forget it's not the e.u. who's leaving britain it's britain was leaving the e.u. so all the odds are actually stacked against the u.k. if i hear you explain it that way when you talk to your constituents is this an issue that weighs on them is this something that. they're thinking about you know they think about pensions they think about education they think about digitization and germany were a bit behind on tha

the e.u. is feeling the pressure the issue of how to share the management of migration flows that is not an issue for one single country is a common european issue this is why we have a european union operation at sea and this is why i believe that even if it's a very difficult discussion. it would be good if member states considered taking more responsibility the three year old mission is supposed to clamp down on people smuggling and illegal migration across the mediterranean but it has also rescued people off to live in coast and to live it them to italy around fifty thousand so far that's too much for rooms hard right government some e.u. member states say the problem is not with operations of fear the misuse of the operation severe doesn't have a problem it works well and has the important task of combating people smuggling and training libyan coast guards the problem is the dublin regulation it needs to be solved irrespective of whether we have the operations of fear which should continu

because the e.u. has given quite a stern response isn't it to the sanctions well that's right it's fair to say that the european union and donald trump haven't seen eye to eye on a number of issues they fell out over the decision to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem and in israel they fell out over donald trump's unilateral move to pull out of the paris climate accord but it's his decision to pull out of the iran nuclear deal that upset some of the biggest names in european leaders as well as in this among the diplomats and there was a communique issued well before this announcement that said the european union stance on the new tranche of sanctions was a unanimous no we are determined to protect european economic operators in legitimate business with iran this is why european union's updated blocking statute enters into force under seventh of august to protect e.u. companies doing legitimate business but he ran from the impact of u.s. extraterritorial sanctions so what is the blocking start to it we

and the e.u. as your package again pointed out so very significant development is there is this donald trump trying to negotiate with rather aggressive tactics better deals with pretty much all of america's partners or anybody they have a deal with around the world be it nuclear deal with iran be trade deals with china or with. just this him trying to look for a better deal for the u.s. everywhere.

in the e.u. that's actually has even influence over for example the british government whose policy is to basically make europe uninhabitable for their hatred towards the side unites a lot of syrians who chose to flee their country well now at least judging by the promises the syrian government seems to be extending an olive branch to those who seek to do no more damage done of reporting from syria for r.t. . international's launch to external investigations into the sewer. side of two employees the death sparked an internal crisis about working conditions within that human rights organization case in point first lady called rose mcgregor she was twenty eight years old when she took her life earlier this summer she was an interned she worked in geneva now according to her father she developed health problems because of stress work related stress and committed suicide just a few days after returning home now that happened five weeks after another suicide within the organization this time a real ve

and e.u. . it's been one year since we first reported on russian speaking children found in an orphanage in iraq following the brutal military operation there against islamic state after the report was we launched a campaign to find any relatives of those children and several people came forward saying they recognized some of them and this led to those orphans being reunited with their families years after their parents had left russia to join i saw our correspondent medina culture never spoke to those families to find out whether they used to move on following the tragic experience. so. a year ago two small sisters high g.'s and fred's hemo were brought back to their grandparents who at the time lost all hope of ever seeing them again they say they feel safe here in this house the sisters luke and behave like any other child of their age despite their traumatic experience their playground is now the two rooms upstairs that were once home for their parents their grandfather on of our hasn't chan

member states the e.u. institutions but in other knowledge you insist you understand the paradox understand the problem you are bringing information to countries which you are criticized and you demand that these countries will react but they don't want to react they are very happy as they are i'm not going to give europe or clean bill of health the problems are serious the issues are grave but i do see small chinks of light i see small improvements i gave an example of better oversight of intelligence services here we're having valuable conversations with governments about how to put in independent oversight that's achievement i've seen refugees children locked in cages when i first went to the hotspots in greece a couple of years ago they're not in cages anymore that's an improvement it's the thousand small steps that are making an important contribution to a better european future knock wood said that what happened in spain was an internal affair also what you describe by elation of human rights in a mem

they need to close relations with her e.u. neighbors but none of the islanders knows for sure what the future will bring that want it don't have a say they don't get an exclamation of what's happening so they completely get alienated and when you really need people they are always would take back an action . the action more and more and williams would like to take is independence if they had been able to a majority would have voted to stay in the e.u. now many would rather be part of the e.u. than of britain. now do you remember how fruits and vegetables used to taste so much richer it sometimes seems is that just nostalgia for times gone by no no says french farmer laurel brewer yeah he believes there's far less for royalty these days due to industrialized farming practices and strict norms on what can and cannot be grown in spite of a campaign in friends for greats of biodiversity and more flavor and the man dubbed the asparagus red bull is supplying some very popular produce. asparagus topped with grated bonito fish pie nut

in return the e.u. is handing him the keys to establishing an authoritarian system and turning a blind eye is. turkey or the e.u. who has more leverage the country currently harbors about three and a half million refugees from syria alone to air to one they are not only a responsibility they are also a trump card one that he can use against europe whenever he wants. damascus and its suburbs after seven long years of fight. it's back under control. people here still live in fear there are checkpoints. and the secret services are never far away in the war zone aftermath color's daily life ali is a civil servant he earns about sixty euros a month. yet it. would feel we have to make compromises everywhere even when it comes to the most basic essentials even if i need something urgently i have to think twice about what's most urgent but if we need a doctor my entire family has to go hungry for a week for just so my child can get treatment you know. a taxi ride like many other things is now four or five times

for days and days and then finally they were distributed among the e.u. member states even albania has lost around taking in a couple of people so yes they are getting somewhere. they are the way they are dealing with the european partners really is causing a lot of bad blood and so it seems that the fia might actually be sort of running to run to ground and the whole thing be pushed onto the libyan coast guard libya getting the sole responsibility to save people who are at sea and that would constitute a breach of international law as we know the fate of migrants being pushed back to libya so you really is in a bind here in italy is not moving at all all right barbara basal reporting for us from the end i thank you barbara. reich wing groups are again expected to take the streets of the east german city of camden today some twenty people were injured earlier in the week when around seven thousand protesters many of them far right nationalists clashed with left wing demonstrators after a man was stabbed to death here's a look at what life is like for resi

and e.u. this is a war on the population you know if the currency collapsed to a third of its former value that means people are living basically on a third of what they were living on just a few months ago that obviously relations are very very bad at the same time i think of trying to believes that iran's just going to roll over and capitulate i think it's got another think coming for all trumps claims to be anti globalist and so on this is the same ol us imperialism and other trump represents this also aimed at europe as well don't forget you know that this is interesting europe hasn't fallen in line behind the u.s. on this and i think that's a reflection of the fact that the e.u. realizes this is a war against them as well they're the ones invested in iran they're the ones who are losing billions and billions of dollars of investment early stages of this manifesting on the economic battleground which at the moment is in iran but this is a battle between the u.s. and the e.u. . conservative

what is your reaction on that well my reaction is as i say the our job is to advise the e.u. so that the actions of the states be that the laws are the application of the laws of human rights compliant but we're not some overall judge we don't have that capacity we're not set up in that manner can somebody be trill and being an advocate for human rights no i we're certainly not neutral your trial attorneys typically taking the side of an oppressor in the context of human rights i want to quote again. you your report from journalist says about hungary in hungary there were civil society reports that public officials continue to use libel and defamation laws to silence criticism from citizens and journalists. what are the consequences of this support something changed well we are making sure that the debates get triggered around europe on the basis of that report there was a discussion yesterday in the european parliament in which the report was cited extensively triggering conversations about the report in budapest in other capitals . by that means we give civil society the to

still e.u. trade negotiators will be doing all they can to make the case for free trade to the american counterparts later this month and l.n.g. purchases could help sweeten the deal. it's the height of the summer season in europe and there's travel misery ahead court has told ryanair pilots. in the netherlands they could join in wave of strike action plan across europe friday's walkouts set to affect over fifty thousand passengers is intended to build up pressure on the cut price airline in iraq over pay and conditions and as recent studies show it's not only staff that bear the cost of cheap travel. these passengers have to track across open tarmac to get to the airplane but they don't mind by flying a low cost carrier they can save money but often a flight with ryan air easy jet and others can calls worth inconveniences than that in many cases flights face delays or simply counseled almost every budget passenger knows the problems regardless of strikes consolations out on the raw is this year

russia from the e.u. that criticism of the iranian sanctions but nobody gives them over russia so i can wrap up this point here alex to me but again we are in broad agreement here doesn't it just end up being empty rhetoric i mean it is just as egg on his face because you can say one thing they can talk about developing a european wide us with system but if they don't do it if they don't and that's why but if they don't do it where's the credibility where's the credibility alex. doesn't have much credibility at this point and i think when e.u. leaders are talking about moving away from the u.s. i think you're exactly right but i don't think there's much to it and i think even an even more important point is that inside the e.u. they can't reach much consensus so while you can have a motto on it or merkel saying one thing you have other countries that are opposed to north stream are opposed to france and germany as policies within the e.u. and that also stretches to migration and other issues so the e.u. j

west to manage viciously insulting if it doesn't get its way it alternates between pressing hard for e.u. membership and pretending it no longer needs it my guest here in the german city of this will go off is the turkish foreign minister met lute travel scholer all the differences between turkey and the e.u. becoming impossible to reconcile. troubleshot of welcomes conflicts on thank you to recognize these comments not says them is still widespread in the west the netherlands are nazi remnants and fascists now those are the capital of fascism. two lips were sent to holland from turkey during the time of the ottomans it seems that the tulips have not made the prime minister and racist politicians in the netherlands real mad well comments from you and your president do you see any reason why the e.u. should deal with you as a candidate member if you're going to insult them like this while last year when the netherlands didn't want to allow us to meet the turkish people in the netherlands there was a tension and rhetorical was very high and it was coming from both sides and i didn't start

membership big measure two of the e.u. countries you member states actually are in favor of turkish actually you know one membership anymore he said a new circle of us who love the idea as it were the reactions yes is the reaction of the country who has been waiting at the door for sixty years ok sixty years so how does the way that it is turkey's mistake so why do so many years so why threaten europe in march last year when the diplomatic wrangling what can what kind of threaten in march last year when there's a sematic route with germany was at its height your president said that if europe continues this way no european in any part of the world can walk safely on the streets that's what he said that's a threat that's a direct threat no it is not a trap cannot not be a threat it is not a threat it is the actually he is warning the europe if you are in hypocrisy in our fight against terrorism and if you are the terrorists to active to be active in your countries. if you. believe that the batteries but is the best one if yo
