i do not think anybody in the e.u. would be happy to hear that the funding being provided by the e.u. is being used to harm libyans. nick: the report is not suggesting that the e.u. is committing human rights abuses. tell us a little bit more about how this might be happening. >> there is always a risk when you are providing funding outside of the e.u. there are different processes for tracking expenses on top of the weaker governmental functions. when their week government institutions, it is much harder to track where funding and equipment is being sent, where it is being used, how it is being used. it is very easy to waive one hand on one side and take care of things with the other. perhaps the e.u. needs to get more involved in processes on the ground. the claim of the commission is that the money is not being physically given to partners in libya. it is being allocated and being utilized by external partners, including the u.n. we need to look at where the problems are and where the money is going. nick: where do

-e.u. cooperation is that we have two very complex unions, two complex democracies as you jount lined. you know for the united states, the passage of the i.r.a. was incredibly complicated. you know, negotiations behind closed doors. and then we we -- when the e.u. or the u.s. comes out with a new law or new regulation, it's been very hard for us to change it or really to adapt to the concerns of the united states or the european union. and i'm curious, the training technology council that has been set up between the u.s. and e.u. has been really highlighted by this administration as an example of trans-atlantic cooperation. it was mentioned in the national security strategy. how do you see the role of the t.t.c. in sort of trying to iron out the differences that emerged in our perspective approaches? all the while, it seems as if we're actually quite aligned and on the big picture, on the need for protecting supply chains, on the need to be concerned about climate and china. so i'm curious,

e.u.'s foreign policy chief warned the bill was incompatible with e.u. values and standards. concerning words for georgians at a crucial time for their country's future. the european union is considering georgia's application to join. >> i asked joshua, a freelance journalist in tblisi, to tell us about the situation. >> it is the second day of protests against the law. i just got back from the site of the protests in front of the capital. the crowd was bigger than yesterday. it is less tense. the crowds are still not massive, but i would say there is a big sense of uncertainty here about where this is going. not necessarily the protests themselves but the significance of this law and what the government is trying to do by pushing it through. >> 80% of georgia's population support the countries e.u. ambition. why does the governing party wants to push through a law that brussels calls incompatible with e.u. values? >> that's the big question. i don't think anybody has an answer. the government does see the country plus civil society sector, the independent media and the organ

look no further than the e.u.we've talked about and we wrote ace piece of legislation thatla we could walk and chew gm at the same time. we can basically invest and produce more oil, produce more natural gas, basically build pipelines that carry the products much safer than rails and roads which we're seeing so much of the conservative station by rails right now which should be alarming to all of us. but basically, to do it and do it in a much safer way. but when people deny -- and any denier of any kind denying the reality of what's needed today is i dangerous. that's what's happening right now. we have a r significant investmt in states like mine already that allow us to produce more energy here at home, and that means onshoring our energy supply chains, create good paying jobs and help our economy and, hopefully, s start working oursf out of the debt that we've accumulated. the administration should be our partners in the effort. i always said this, government should be your partner. not your provider, but your

so actually similar to the e.u. looking at what appropriate mechanisms are because they are reasonable and central things to implement. actually, they may well be in the same way, opportunities for cooperation across those. it may well be it works well. we are having conversations on mechanism. as it is, in regard to foreign trade investment in the u.k., they have an incredible track record in attracting foreign investment and pointed out the survey of 3,000 or 4,000 global c.e.o.'s from over 100 countries named the u.k. as their number one european investment destination behind over u.s. and china which is enormous. from business in the u.k. i think -- mr. neill: what i'd like to say, prime minister, the damage to brexit is 45% of g.d.p. to the economy. you were one of the politicians who choose that. the agreements are yielding very little. it's like throwing away 200 or 300 pounds and get 2 pounds to 8 pounds back.

and you get what you want at the end of the day, e.u. membership? >> we have to have constant proof of the concept. the concept is ukraine is coming closer and closer to the eu, before even the full membership provides direct benefits to the ukrainian people and to the eu. if you look at what we're doing with the energy grid and how we have connected it, so ukraine does not have to rely anymore on russia to get its energy, but can rely on europe to be able to bring energy in. that is a concrete example of what is happening and will be happening in different fields of activity in the next years. our commitment to support ukraine, to make all the changes it needs to is ironclad, including the funding that goes into it, the expertise required. we're working arm in arm in this. it's a process. it's a merit-based process, not an automatic thing. if you would ask me, are the institutions here ahead of the public opinion? not even close. the public opinion recognizes that ukraine is part of europe. that ukrainians, the mere bravery is inspiring. it would b

. >> we know brussels is considering e.u. membership. how much would impede closer ties and for a potential membership? >> representatives have made clear it would jeopardize the european perspective. remember that georgia applied for candidate status in february along with ukraine and moldova. it was turned down for candidate status and given something of a substitute and given a list of things they would have to achieve before getting candidate status. that had separated them from other applicant statuses. the heart is not in the process. the european union clearly said you are jeopardizing the path is illustrative of the fact the government is not committed and people have argued why it is and some have traced it back. george's rule de facto by an oligarch. he made russia in the 1990's and has power but not responsibility. >> did you want to jump in? >> i was nodding in agreement. the point to the heart of the issue. he is taking certain actions to stop georgia proceeding down the path is a fair and just common. to what extent is he b

and the e.u.price at which that oil trades. so i think the fact that prices are largely the same as they were before is because supply and demand is largely the same as it was before the war. there are risks that china demand could increase, we'll see how the concerns about a recession in the u.s. play out, but i think the risks are on the demand side in the two biggest economies. >> i want to ask you the question that people look at with despair. if you go back to 1980 and you look at world energy use, the world energy use was 90% fossil fuels, roughly. if you look at it today, 40 years later, it is about 80%. a lot of people would say you're the problem. that the oil, that the fossil fuel industry has gotten all kinds of subsidies, has laws written and given all kinds of benefits, has mounted a campaign of misinformation. so i want you to give you an opportunity to tell me why do you think -- why do you think it is been so difficult to wean us off fossil fuels when we do know that they are causi

the social media companies above a certain size will have to report to the e.u. that i measure the risks their algorithms are creating to things like teen mental health, the risks to democracy. these are really big and important questions that companies have to answer. then they have to show how they're going to mitigate those risks. that is something that is a creative way to try to approach this issue without censorship. the idea is -- the e.u. is not saying we have decided this is a bad thing for democracy. they say you need to measure the risk, it is on you to show how your promoting democracy and not allowing for authoritarianism. i think it is an interesting experiment and the u.s. has not done any of that. we have not set a basic privacy law. the template are out there. california has passed a really strong privacy law that basically emulates the eu law. in california, there is a strong privacy law that goes into effect this year. we are finally catching up on the california level, but congress has been threatening to preempt that law was something weaker.

i say look no further than the e.u. u.k.as basically thrown all their environmental concerns out the window to survive. they'll burn anything they can get their hands on to keep from freezing, to keep their economy going. that's the geopolitical risk when things are topsy-turvy or unraveled. that's what we're facing. instead of the administration basically continuing to take care of every opportunity we have to be energy secured, they're investing and twisting the legislative text with cherry-picking the pieces they want to advance. i've been very, very critical, because i've been watching it very carefully, what's going on. we talk about electric vehicles. well, the reason that the inflation reduction act said if we're going to give $7500 to advance people buying electric vehicles, then we should get something as a countries out of it. that means being totally, totally self-sufficient. we should not have to depend on russia for 80% of the supply of the batteries that run the vehicles when we've never in the history of the u

these new clean energy installationsth reached a record as the e.u.as added more wind and solar capacity than any year prior and in spite of partially because of the geopolitics of the day, it is clear that that clean energy transition is firmly underway. and so the question for us is -- what lies ahead? make no mistake, enormous energy challenges remain across global energy markets. we have not yet vanquished the volatility that characterize so much of the last 12 months. the risks to energy security, the vulnerabilities that those risks leave for national and economic security. those have not disappeared. the cost of climate change keep piling up.di and the imperative that every country faces to meet the energy needs of its citizens is going to heighten as demand continues to rise across the globe as middle classes come in to being in the years ahead so it is going take partnerships between governments and private sectors to meet these incredible challenges. itan is going take a willingness to work together even among differing views. and here's whe

. >> at the time you made the comment, that china emits more than the u.s., the entire e.u. >> would you like to retract your praise for china? >> praise for china, what they are going to invest in clean energy, even as they are the largest emitter. >> sandra: she doubled down on her praise for china. >> yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous, especially when you take in the context which senator ted cruz just said, china is one of the biggest sellers of electric batteries to the united states using slave labor. where is the outrage. really is, and to compare the u.s. ability to rein in climate concerns more than china is ridiculous, because it's been the united states, not china, that has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by more than any industrialized country in the world because of the u.s. energy producers because they produce cheaper, cleaner, natural gas. it would have never been possible with all the billions of dollars they have spent on solar panels and wind panels because of the u.s. energy producer. >> sandra: i have to get this in here, don't have time to ask you a

another important step was the e.u.'eent to go ahead with corporate minimum tax tha makes it more difficult for these tax havens to try to attract corporations or at least to pretend their profits are generated in these tax havens so it is an important step, but a lot more is going to have to be done. the global proposal to have a global minimum tax was too weak. it was only 15%. it should be 25%. there was a worry the effect of that agreement will be actually to lower tax rates in some countries because many countries have a corporate tax rate that exceeds the 15%. so i worried the minimum will actually wind up being the maximum and more corporations will not be paying their fair share of taxes. amy: we have to leave it there but we thank you so much for being with us. joseph stiglitz is a nobel prize-winning economist, columbia university professor and former chair of the council of economic advisers. currently the chief economist of the roosevelt institute. among his many books. coming up on this 20th anniversary of t

and the e.u.sible for an average of 1.2 million premature deaths every single year. and when it comes to coal production, china once again leads the way. here to react, publish at climate depot.com and author of "the great reset," mark morano. mark, tell me why we have our energy secretary touting china as the example on climate change and environmental, you know, care. >> i mean, this is right out of a seinfeld episode. it's the exact opposite of what you would expect. china, which is literally 50% of the world's coal production, china which is, they brag about, oh, we're doing solar and wind. they're billing solar and wind using rare earth mining, using human rights violations, using the worst environmental standards around the world in order to sell to the west, not for use themselves, their percentage of solar and wind are tine themy. so the idea that we're supposed to be modeled after them, it kind of reminds me of is she abe the them energy or pretty day? we all modeled ourselves after china
