but the fact remains its biggest trading partner is the rest of the e.u. so if there's no trade deal with the rest of the e.u. and that would seriously hamper the u.k. economy and then the other point is what would this do to the u.k.'s goodwill on the international stage if they don't pay existing bills why should other countries get involved them in trade deals or the negotiations because it would damage their standing which at the moment is still quite high despite everything that's happened with drugs right off a solid in there from d.w. business thank you so much for your insights there and also big thank you to day in france that. now the pharmaceuticals firm johnson and johnson has been ordered by a u.s. courts to pay more than half a $1000000000.00 over its role in fueling an opiate addiction crisis is the 1st case to go to trial out of thousands of lawsuits filed against the drug makers and distributors the judge in oklahoma said the money would help the states deal with decades of fallout from the problem. he's probably impeded box's son austin is

out of the e.u. because of that reason may the previous prime minister who was already losing a loss of trust from within her own party she stepped down and then there was an election within the conservative party boris johnson was elected promising that would whatever would happen he would basically be taking on niger for arjun the threats that party he would win back those conservative voters and make sure that the referendum of 2016 would be seen through which is that the u.k. will leave the european union one of his. big selling points one of his big messages is that if you if you if you square up to the e.u. eventually very will blink any sign of the votes of absolutely no sign of that whatsoever so far we've heard the words of from an angle america she's probably a little bit more diplomatic what we've also been hearing words coming out of paris because boris johnson will will go to france to mars meet president mark home and the words coming out of there is that no deal is becoming the most lik

also impose tariffs on imports of european steel and the e.u. house responded in kind of the trumpet administration says it's considering imposing terrorists on european cars arguing that e.u. tariffs on imports from the u.s. higher overall and the other way around frank spartina interprets the u.s. position as an art show negotiate or out i would not necessarily call president trump protectionist stick he is quite willing to use tariffs and other economic sanctions and methods to achieve his goals but his stated goal is to create a level playing field and he himself actually offered to eliminate all tariffs between europe and the u.s. . says he wants to revive heavy industry in the u.s. and boost domestics to production and car sales by slapping tariffs on imports is this a reasonable strategy prices up gone up in the u.s. prices are always going to go up when tariffs go up and interesting only enough when a tariff is imposed domestic producers also are able to raise their prices for the economy at large there's rarely evidence that tariffs like

as a group it should present them with yeah we are against the suspension of the e.u. was missing it would be counterproductive we don't sing with you when you're on your board if you think you can do this just as well. the garment industry employs about $750000.00 people most of them young women they work on average 8 to 10 hours a day labor rights is another of the areas in which the e.u. sees significant problems working conditions are in some respects very poor how people get to work is an issue. most garment workers are transported to their factories on the back of trucks often over long distances. all their jammed into overcrowded many buses. this is a problem contours of many countries in southeast asia. my son meet and more i work for a labor union that represents textile workers it's demanding safer and better transportation for factory workers. serious accidents are much too frequent and often involve fatalities. many of the vehicles are in terrible condition and nobody takes responsibility for ensuring their safe to operate. we need the support of the e.u. so

we don't think it is necessary from a point of view of the e.u. o that to protect the integrity of the single market. we have adequate time to do it, let's get on and do it. as i say, there are all sorts of proposals that have already been -- i might direct you to a paper being done by greg hans and --er mps in west monster westminster that goes through the ways in which you can check for rulesband, check of origin, but n not have checks at the front tier, that is the .olution french]king claire: britain's prime minister boris johnson visiting emmanuel macron at the french presidential palace, they just addressed the media before going in for talks. armen georgian is there for us and we can talk to himim now. a very upbeat, you might say, press conference or addressed to the media before heading in for talks. really, it will take time before they are on the same page. armen: yeah. it to be honest, the first 10 minutes of this sounded like an acceptance of no deal. they were talking about the future relationship post october 31 talking about coopera

those forecasts is a sheer lack of uncertainty over what a no deal would bring coming out of the e.u. of any sort of agreement it's a leap into the unknown it's going to stall to happen before so they would want some sort of formal agreement some sort of trade relationship to continue the current currency slide is already hitting businesses meanwhile including airlines like british airways which pay for their fuel in dollars as well as u.k. retailers who pay for their stock in dollars. and there are winners we currency favors x. porters and tourism to the u.k. could also rise if occasion is find the country more affordable a silver lining perhaps to unpredictable times. the more i'm joined by barry head of market analysis to manage europe he joins us in london good to have you with us you probably heard our reports was the end just cited some possible upsides to a week at palin for example tourism do you share that optimism. i don't find the argument particularly persuasive frankly if you look at the u.k.'s current account balance as a percentage of g.d.p. so solidly in the negative effe

e.u. as a whole were. for safeguarding the integrity of the single market and that's why the e.u. needs backstop so nothing new there but boris johnson said was also largely what he already said in berlin due to my understanding both try to give an interpretation of what i'm going back when she said sure maybe we can find a solution within 30 days obviously the u.k. prime minister interpretating at a little more in his ways saying that he admired this can do spirit and the french president saying that this wasn't really anything new but within the framework of what was decided beforehand now the small but i was talking about earlier the thing that really gets me thinking is that boris johnson is saying over and over again that no matter what the outcome of the next weeks until they will get out of the european now on the 31st of october the u.k. will not install any kind of border control between northern ireland and the republic of ireland so what does this do this puts the burden on the european union to install border checks because theoretically if the u.k. crashes out of the e

we need the support of the e.u. so we can raise the pressure on the factory owners the unions alone are too weak the investors especially those from china will do whatever they want with their workers we need help from europe. the e.u. has a difficult decision to make sanction cambodia because of human rights violations or maintain its preferential trade status so as not to put textile workers out of a job. or punishments might sometimes work but there can be better ways to get people to do what you want 1st question can be much more effective positive reinforcement and in direct suggestions that's the basis of nudge theory it's become a trend of behavioral economics and political theory it's a soft and cuddly way of exercising power and be benign so to encourage people to stop smoking but it can be dark as well you and i are being nudged every day without even noticing it and that under cover element is key to the success of the nudge. sensible or sweet which is it to be that's only one of thousands of decisions we

of. so the e.u. won't be opening up its meat production sector as french farmers had feared but it has granted america samoa a generous cut of its market at a very low tariff. and as your business update on the year thanks for watching. i'm not laughing at the germans because sometimes i am but i was there laughing with the. many thanks deep into the german culture. to take this grandma day out. if allowed. no time rachel join me to meet the gem of a course the world is getting more soon. forms catastrophe a lot of problems. the global 3000 talks with senior british researchers who take i'm optimistic view. doesn't always a good point but it's much much fairer than it was. just really getting better. a global $3000.00 special report. starts august 19th sunday to. hello i'm welcomes arts and culture news. and german and ramstein have been courting controversy in moscow more in a minute also coming out. facial recognition is everywhere but how is it impacting on out a new documentary investigates. and 2

of the question. that the good in europe and the good the e.u. has negotiated at length i withdraw all agreement with the united kingdom that i will not get into details and it's not for any member of the e.u. alone to negotiate or renegotiate this agreement but i would like to say that the key elements including the irish backstop are not just technical constraint or legal quibbling but are indeed genuine indispensable guarantees to preserve stability in ireland to preserve the integrity of the single market which is a fine nation of the european project when you look at the border with northern ireland just repeating a point that bears repeating under no circumstances will the u.k. government be instituting imposing checks or controls of any kind at that border and we think i understand your desire to protect the integrity of the of the single market of course we understand that but we think that there are ways of protecting the integrity of the single market and allowing the u.k. to exit from the e.u. whole and entire and perfect as it were. an

e.u. but it has to protect the cohesion of all the e.u. states and specifically of course that means the republic of ireland and how do you but germans view boris johnson. well there is a very interesting question because on the face of it then the the welcome that angle americal off foods are as johnson was friendly was diplomatic and mr johnson said that he was moved by the scale of the welcome that he was offered but if you look a little and been beneath the surface as it were certainly amongst the political commentators amongst other political parties there is a degree of skepticism about mr johnson some. particular magazines such as the should be go to very reputable magazine and others to have likened mr johnson to a clown and said that they don't see him as serious that he is chaotic indeed one analyst i spoke to in the last 24 hours also said look we perceive mr johnson if he is the candidate who said some of the things that he said and he is that as prime minister we can't really deal with him whereas if he's been playing a particu

i have seen no indication of the e.u. actually backing down in any way whatsoever see no indication of the e.u. saying well we are possibly prepared to offer boris johnson this all of that in the opening there is actually to talk about alternative arrangements that might replace the backstop which is actually something that is full seen and that is in the withdrawal agreement and in the political a declaration that accompanies that agreement there's a transition period that has been agreed on that would go until the end of 2020 during which all of these details would be in the go if one can find a solution of course that could be agreed to but as i say i don't see any sign of some kind of other solution coming up in the near future right. political correspondent thank you very much if that's mean. let me having ya it's among the stories making news around the world the head of sudan's military council has been sworn in as the leader of the newly formed sovereign council it's made up of military leaders and members of the o

of ireland mr johnston says the u.k. will not put in a border so if the u.k. doesn't what will the e.u. do. under e.u. law the republic of ireland would be obliged to protect the new external board of the e.u. but the irish government already has said we will not do that either so actually the day or the day off the regs that nothing will happen on the board it will remain open and then will come a point in time where the commission biz say we have to do something on this border because we have to to protect the internal market of the you it would still be some weeks i guess until this actually something happening but nobody wants to install equipment on the board a boat oppose because this put these steps allies in the northern island and may also lead to violence is so there has to be a plan b. but nobody knows exactly what the what that can be at the moment so given where we are with this game of chicken being played. presumably the e.u. is now preparing for britain to leave without a deal briefly from actually that the actually the e.u. is already preparing for a year now there are many agreements

i'm pleased to be joined today deputy ni rapena, the chief of mission of finland, the e.u. member state that hold the presidency of the european strombros,ambassador the ambassador from the e.u. it will triple the duty-free access of american ranchers to high-quality beef in europe. initial estimates int kate that it will grow by $270 million a year once the agreement is fully implemented. with this country-specific quota, american ranchers have a guaranteed market share in europe. we look forward to the european union approving this expeditiously. >> good morn. lithauser,nt and mr. nd ladies and gentlemen. this provides a system into our long disbute. let me underline that the negotiations for this agreement we are doing in good spirit and it's a great spirit and how the communications trade disputes. the agreement will be unison with the military parliament and we hope to approve it as soon as possible. i would like to highlight that the strengthen into e.u. trade relaces is a priority of the presidency. finally, i want to thank all the negotiationers on both sides for pai

yes he made a point of trying to quell fears that this could hurt e.u. citizens a lot of german citizens also being there into a tricky situation i just want to add that while those debates were going on in the u.k. parliament when that breaks it actually failed to pass the parliament 3 times german parliament was actually busy putting measures in place to safeguard the rights of british citizens so no doubt you also heard it from the 2 leaders very lips today once again that both countries. share a close friendship share common values and also want to have very close ties in the future so a lot of contradictions here and stay with us. chief political correspondent as we hear some of what chancellor merkel had to say today. backstop has always only been a last resort we don't need this last resort and we're saying we might find that agreement in the next 2 years but how much will find it in the next 30 days why shouldn't we know that would take a big step forwards and we have to pull all the stops out and make sure we manage to do it however this does wor

his office and that he's trying to prevent investigations into the business our growth or misuse of e.u. subsidies is. one of agra for its cornerstone industries as agriculture the conglomerate was founded by current czech prime minister andre bandish now an e.u. report says the company might have to repay around 17400000 euros in subsidies it received from the block the investigations are still ongoing bobbish has been accused by critics of exerting influence to get the funds allocated referred is also active in the chemicals and baked goods sectors. organizes demonstrations against bobbish he says the prime minister has clear conflicts of interest he says that he is not the owner of company but european audit shows i don't he still is the beneficent of this company and he still has influence on the company and that's really the problem he got money from european union and also from czech state and i think that's not acceptable the demonstrations mean a organizes are growing larger and larger the protesters accused the prime minister of using his political office for personal profit ma

with the new freedoms that we will have, leaving the straitjacket of the e.u., we will be able to build on all the strengths we have as a nation -- our fantastic universities, our lively tech sector, our law, andy, the rule of overall, the british attitude. one of the issues we have in the u.k. is while london is a highly-productive city, as productive as germany, we have parts of the u.k. that have not had the opportunities that london and the southeast have had. one of boris johnson's key planks is to level up across britain, to make sure we have , broadband inture cities like leaves and manchester, so they -- cities nd manchester, so they can become players on the world stage. i do not see a reason they cannot be high growth, high opportunity locations. we are also looking at setting up the new generation of free ports, something we have not been able to do because we have been part of the e.u. customs union. in fact, i have been meeting wilbur ross this morning to talk about the american freezone, freeport opportunity zones, to talk about what we are going to learn. tomorrow, i will

blaming it on globalization isn't that also part of the problem isn't the e.u. the wage structure the way it's guided their way defines its priorities isn't that also part of the conversation. for the far right parties across europe. to take. people off neo liberal economic perspective have been in power for quite some time everyone has a. very challenging time and of course there is a demand in our society due to the be good the normal that we have leaving and the fact that the past just. because financial crisis yes we. are going much more coming back on the sort of the 6 and the. but we came out to weed out the measure of these 2 options in any case one issue when i am saying that the many of them only say no and they you. know the magic example. they can buy all the popular the example the banks that they say no for 3 they do not succeed. and you see that from one e r. or the. police and the. right wing parties are still despite. in power in italy in hungary in austria in poland there. in france it is expected that there are going to consolidate their presenc

and the republic of ireland which is part of the e.u. any fear that civil conflict could flare up again if new border controls are implemented and the plan is part of the withdrawal agreement between the e.u. and the british government the terms were negotiated under the former prime minister theresa may now johnson says it is on a critic. the existing just doesn't work for the u.k. parliament started out 3 times we can have this backstop so i'm going to go to see our friends about like going off to germany and then to france and then to see the g 7 appearance and i'm going to make the point that the buck stops going to to come out of the moment it's absolutely true that our friends and partners are a bit negative and you friends still clearly think that there is a possibility that parliament will book record and as long as they think there's a possibility the problem will block brick suit their own likely to be minded to make the concessions that we need. while late on monday boris johnson delivered a 4 page letter to european council pr

i think the object of the e.u. is try to prevent that and get to a situation where we develop the positive aspect of our the bilateral relationship, but where first and foremost, we can focus our energies on addressing the real issues we face on the global stage. william: another looming issue that may be bigger in dollar terms is the boeing-airbus dispute. where we both lost the w.t.o. my view is, you lost bigger than we lost, certainly in dollar terms. both sides have potential retaliation lists. i think you have done that. we are in the process of doing one which will be near 25 billion. a heavy list. what do you see the outcome there? the arbitrator in the u.s. case i think will shortly produce in number, my guess is not now but in september, i am hearing. it probably will be a number different than what either side has asserted, it usually is, but then i think that is the endgame. the retaliation will probably go into effect. what happens then? we wait to see the results of your case and what that number is? dr

critics of the e.u. have absolutely no issue with europe's past they recognize the enormous success of the european union. conciliation and peace are its greatest achievements most of the people agree with that they take issue with the ability of the e.u. as a system as a mechanism to move forward to be as efficient as it has to be in present times can you really do the reunion without changing the way the decisions on made. be done. and exactly what happens. in these middle age with the innovation. to element of innovation because the good the good and creation of the. technology should have been closed in a close region the region of. the society that i believe this time was the medicine and the 2nd. for the new world order mystery or you know that it happened many times in history that something that once was a blessing suddenly becomes a curse everybody agrees that it's certain point of time the consensus model that the e.u. has served it well but now it takes china less time to set up a whole industr

e.u. at the end of 2020 if they were not sure what the future deal would be between the u.k. and the e.u. it would prevent a hardboard overturning across the island the republican filing which is in the southeast part of the e.u. northern ireland is part of the u.k. so you can see where the problem is there now boris johnson says. it is anti democratic it would mean that the u.k. including northern ireland would have to stand a customs union they couldn't strike deals with countries outside the e.u. they want to scrapped so far there's been no movement on that the e.u. has said it isn't possible however today and going to marco and said look we're always open to alternatives you come up with them the u.k. perhaps you could even do it in 30 days a bit tongue in cheek but that has now been the mantle that's been set for boris johnson and the u.k. government coming up with alternatives have been 30 days and perhaps there will be a deal that can be achieved before the 31st of october or did we see or hear any alternatives to or the backstop then but could possibly be reached in 30

political and economic problems and this is a country that needs to put itself within the framework of the e.u. to move forward why would it talia's believe suddenly that with salvini someone who would like to distance itself from europe could be a savior of the nation. ok. yes i mean italians were always fascinated by the strong leader by a person that could solve everything i mean we have an example few years ago with matteo renzi i mean you reach the 40 percent of the european elections and now we're seen you see pretty much the same thing with me even if the communication is pretty much different and so obviously also the political issues are pretty much different. but so even if we are fascinating then we have to see you i mean a perfectly what we will do obviously we still have a consensus i mean even if the consensus seems pretty must different from the percent folly of political election and the majority on the parliament so if you love the consensus we don't know how. is going to put together i mean that the needs of the telly to grow i mean not only i mean economically in italy nice

but the vessel is no longer covered within the ambit of the e.u. sanctions and as a result the court has noted taken note of the fact that it is no longer covered and it's no longer covered there is no compunction for the ship to continue to be arrested the arrest therefore is no longer valid and the vessel can leave immediately so we have a team of correspondents covering the story we'll have more on the reaction out of washington with jordan in a moment we'll also speak to us had begun to her on shortly 1st to cross over to anderson and joining us from gibraltar and despite the u.s. detention requests that iranian oil tanker will be released just talk us through how this decision was made. well 1st of all let's just deal with this u.s. late request and it was only a request it wasn't a formal document put to the court it also did not cover the major issues that gibraltar is concerned with and there is a breach of e.u. sanctions by iran because the tanker was destined for syria they found that out they investigated it and they determined that that
