calculates the costs of terrorists through higher prices as less harmful than the competition with the e.u. or canada mexico china and he is also trying to live up to campaign promises he has made especially to voters in the rust belt and to industrial companies it might not make sense economically especially as the trade deficit is not necessarily going to spring that way with retaliation from so many different sides with hurt mexico and canada the us are not going to be able to export more and literally everyone else has been begging trump not to go their people and his own republican party lobbyists because they fear that these terrorists are simply going to have the effect of tektites are hurting consumers and manufacturers. sophia szymanski in new york for us this evening thank you very much. well here with me in this studio to talk more about this is alan kohler from the j.f.k. institute at the free university of berlin and imposing these tariffs president trump invoked a seldom used section of trade law from the one nine hundred sixty s. in fact allowing him to impose trade barriers whe

threatened to close germany's borders to new arrivals unless chancellor merkel can secure a unified e.u. or sponsor to migration by the end of the month and the growing backlash against migrants across europe has many fearing for their future like the young man you're about to meet. i'm ahmed i'm almost twenty years old i was born in afghanistan but i was raised in iran and i'm training to be a hotel manager. at mit was only one year old when his parents decided to leave their home in afghanistan they fled because of the terror of the taliban. they said we were home one day then suddenly the bomb hits there were shots everywhere they were really loud and we just ran away we didn't have time to take the passports we just run away given. the family found a new home in tiran where i grew up together with his two brothers. from. growing up in the wrong was sometimes difficult because i'm partly afghan partly iranian so i didn't know which direction to go it was a bit hard yes actually it was hard because. the fact that the parents a construction worker couldn't pay it anymore so adamant and his

the table will this paris berlin agreement will that help to stay stabilize the unity within the e.u. or will it poor fuel into the fire. both in fact because we always know of paris and berlin embrace too tightly there will be resistance and people will run around and say we don't want to be dominated by them but this for many countries is a win win situation particularly for instance italy and so they should in the end agree and we know the european summit does are always horse trading everybody everything is being thrown on the table and then deals are being made and so i would think it is unlikely that america and mike can push through this your own budget which is just as you said it first step probably in the right direction you're right a baby step you're of reform there in the making but obviously in brussels and leave us in frankfurt thank you to both of you. we want trade relations between the u.s. and europe on to civvy a strain certainly since washington post tariffs on steel and on the many of the e.u. has taken a complaint to the world trade organization on the block also d

projects to improve the situation of ordinary people in gaza might be financed presumably through the e.u. or from germany directly so you know it's always a kind of you know on both sides and i think that's important for chancellor merkel taking that sort of general view of the specific. varo iran nuclear deal one wonders how much points various and how much good these sorts of meetings to give them that benjamin netanyahu is position is well known and the position of the other three countries the u.k. germany france is also well known they all say that it is an imperfect today oh but it's the best it's the least worst well marriage's well i think i mean talking is good that's certainly what the german side believes they believe that dialogue is valuable if you don't have that then you have a build up of. suspicions to take the lead in the context of middle east politics it's important also as mr netanyahu said for the israelis to be talking to berlin after all it's a very important trading relationship that they have the e.u. easy's rails largest trading partner so that is also part of the

is a dear another referendum not just a repeat of the first referendum but when to deal with the e.u. or no deal what has been decided and now the referendum on this here are very going where you just mention abound these recent polls showing that the country is still very much divided between those who are pro bragg's it and those who are anti briggs's so we're seeing this kind of rally in london is it likely to give the and she brags a movement a boost. it's really a very tricky our situation and it's hard to see what the best outcome is you have a situation where the m.p.'s here in westminster their people are walking towards hours of parliament many m.p.'s are not happy with what's happening they don't really want direction however they don't really see how this can be solved and how our. you know how our there are still friction or no breck's it could happen because you don't really have a shift in opinion polls you have a slight majority now to stay within the european union however these are mostly young people sixty and or eighteen year olds they don't we don't know if they actua

militias there because it is illegal for the e.u. or the whales in the farrows or potentially partly to deal with but they find it hard. they tried in years past to pass laws against us and they kept getting they were the way they were that they wouldn't enforce them so i think believe this year they they have succeeded in keeping us from going there i know the ships can't go and. i don't know if individuals want now how that will work out but we're not going there on a campaign this year because of that because of the prohibition there and then we have other issues now that we're tackling like this illegal fishing which is a huge problem all over the world. if you want to use to know for example you just go to the supermarket buy a can of tuna open it and you enjoy it because the next place. but when you see how it's catch you start to sing about these big fishing boats were seen fishing already in big trouble we kind of go off but i still write checks and they settle on the meetings and then the percentage of phone starts to are pulli

for the summit they talk about creating refugee centers in also africa in countries outside of the e.u. or european union and particularly italy will jubilant the new right wing government there if they hear that proposal because it would mean that if they close their harbors for refugee boats they can do so and can just say oh you know why don't you straight go back straight to libya or whatever you came from and to me show so on and do you would be put in a camp there and they will look at your asylum rights and they will take care of you and so that seems to be the way the european union wants to go and that i think it could be something that there would be a great majority for very quickly. the other big topic that they discussed in the press conference afterwards was the eurozone the budget of baba faisal anything solid that. that is still relatively vague of course it's clear that belin had to make some concessions to who wanted much more wanted a real reform off the eurozone and he was just going to get some steps but we have to take what's on the table and i'm going to market did s

e.u. i think is as a a great p.r. job here of standing around saying pretending to all appearing giving the appearance of being open honest or waiting for britain to just sort itself out but there are there are two parties to this negotiation. what is the e.u. put on the table the britain couldn't can look at essentially there are largely to ways forward but the e.u. has proposed something akin to the relationship to canada house where the european union all the relationship that norway has with the european union kind of this relationship is a lot more distant than norway's relationship with the european union so essentially says britain which of these two options do you want to choose from something which is essentially freedom to trade goods but not much more than my. this is the kind there's a kind of the option causes a border in northern ireland or you stay much closer to the european union the kind of norway option but that means you have to accept things like legal oversight from the european court of justice and the but you said they don't want that and so it's all very well for the old to say ok we need to make fas

tactical maneuvering and i think ideological open this which has never been a strong side of the e.u. or maybe it has been to its advantage by the e.u. how it seems to be very ideological when it comes at least from the russian perspective when it comes to democracy promotion in defending its values and so on and so forth so. predominantly there seems to be. that kind of global interaction requires both a spine and a flexibility do you think europe has at this point of time. or is the i don't think the suit to see sticking to democracy and human rights issues all of this is difficult pieces of international law is not ideologically issued this is defacto this is our chord this is our this is in our heart our jeanne i think what we have in mind and this is by the way the basis were for why the european union until now from two functions this is our flexibility if we are not flexible enough you couldn't to run a bunch of different did difficult members like spain and greece and crown trees in france and germany and to indeed to leave countries to this requires a lot of flexibility this is

the table will this paris berlin agreement will that help to stay stabilize the unity within the e.u. or will it poor fuel into the fire. both in fact because we always know of paris and berlin embrace too tightly there will be resistance and people will run around and say we don't want to be dominated by them this for many countries is a win win situation politically for instance italy and so they should in the end agree and we know the european summit does all this horse trading everybody everything is being thrown on the table and then deals are being made and so i would think it is unlikely that america and mark can push through this your own budget which is just as you said it first step probably in the right direction you're right a baby step you're of reform there in the making but obviously in brussels and early votes in front foot thank you to both of you. and of course the issue that's triggered just disunity in europe is the refugee crisis is germany's decision to open its borders back in twenty fifteen is still harshly criticized by many and it led to the current turmoil in g

e.u. or to make it a feed the terrorist will impact exports to the us they can import around one million vehicles a year washington has no such an investigation into whether those imports constitute a threat to national security. and our financial correspondent daniel corpus at the frankfurt stock exchange for us daniel chung continues to threaten car terrorists how much could they potentially hurt. well her head and i while investors and also german companies were not that worried earlier about those zealand tears this car share situation is making them more and more certain germany exports last year more than four million cars and a huge amount of those i went to the united states so this is going to hurt carmakers and you mention it also the customers that at the end will have to pay quite a lot of money more the question of course is going to be if this is going to stop americans to buy european cars that's of course the goal of the u.s. president he has this a long time hate relationship

but relies on supply chains that extends into the rest of the e.u. or export sense of the e.u. market then certainly you will want to be sure that after brics customs arrangements will allow you to keep operating. smoove straightforwards basis if you're unsure about that then you need to begin to plan and make changes to the way in which you operate and to take a count of the worst possible scenario which might be that there are new customers controls and destructions at the border and that's what many businesses are focused on just now and talk to us about the mood in scotland where you are a lot of frustration being felt by. the government in london about the way they're handling things concerns particularly about the fishery industry there. yes fishing is a very sensitive political issued it always has been since the u.k. joined the e.u. . it's one of those areas where britain as a whole and especially scotland gives more than it takes in the relationship with the e.u. so there is strong support within much of the fishing industry for leaving the e.u. but look. the e.u. in t

and we have an upcoming nato meeting and trump has clearly demonstrated he has no affection for the e.u. or for nato so i think the europeans are probably wondering what what's going to come of it in terms of relationships and and also a geo strategic thinking as a result of that meeting and they certainly are michael and they will be subjects that will be discussed that will be uncomfortable for both sides to donald trump has just said he thinks the ukraine and syria are going to be discussed and you've mentioned obviously. it's possible intentions of forming a business relationship what will be the common ground during those tentative discussions. well the common ground will be to i think first of all they'll agree to disagree on certain things for example on the alleged russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen elections i don't think that that's uppermost in trump's mind but it's primarily business and i think that that's where things are going to be heading i think he also wants to tone down the the confrontation that has been going on as i said you i saw i saw today a much

car imports donald trump's threats was in response to retaliate retire of spite of the e.u. or american products the began when the u.s. imposed steel and i mean the entire us there is the e.u. canada and mexico in june we've barca has more. tit for tat tariffs from friday the e.u. will slap hefty levies on three point two billion dollars worth of u.s. goods including well know that american brands davidson motorcycle space judi's of twenty five percent bourbon orange juice crab reason peanut butter have also been hate so too has american dead in u.s. companies have enjoyed major growth in europe in recent years but many smaller companies fear their products will now become too expensive to export. the e.u. is responding to donald trump's decision earlier this month to introduce tariffs of twenty five percent on european steel and ten percent on allen many of the measures are meant to protect national security interests e.u. commission president young claude juncker said the move makes no sense for trade to . cost. too much at stake the decision. goes against it in fact it goes

e.u. banks or to offshore accounts. he flopped in banks did not properly check forward bills money was coming from all the banks in the european union all of the international system would accept those money with all its. laundering them unknowingly in one case in twenty sixteen one point three billion euros disappeared without a trace from banks in moldova hundreds of thousands of people lost their money triggering massive protests in the capital casino. bank was named as the culprit. they just send it into the bank. for maybe maybe a day and then send it farther margret it spreads around the world the one point three billion euros has yet to be tracked down the line government is now amending its legislation in an effort to challenge money laundering among the country's banks and the new generation of bankers also seems eager to end the criminal practice of the banks. thirty thousand customers in the span of one and a half year which for a total customer base of their own two million two point two million is a lot. th

it is not a big issue with the e.u. or canada or mexico. there may be some instances of that but it's pretty clear where this is directed. cath clean -- kathleen: what are we going to get some clarity with this announcement? joe: we're supposed to here on friday what the administration is going to come out with, with the treasury report. there's pushback from congress as well as pushback from investors in the business community. . so it could be that it's going to be still modified as we go along and we'll find out in a few days. >> joe, thank you very much. our bloomberg congress ed toirp in washington. lots of uncertain tip. i'm joined in sydnie by the c.e.o. for international at goldman sachs asset managements. the firm has over $1 trillion invested in these very turbulent marks markets. how do you position yourself when things change or do they change from day-to-day depending on the tweet or the thought? >> thank you for having me. i think everybody wakes up in the morning and wonders what they missed overnight, particularly sitting he

another part of the compromise is the frankly talian proposal of controlled centers on the e.u. or the rich in countries that are willing to build them. all the measures in the context of these centers including location and resettlement will be taken on a voluntary basis. last but not least we agreed to launch the next financing for turkey and to transfer five hundred million euros of development money to the e.u. trust fund for africa. moving. to this morning's. the euro summit agreed to sprawl mission. to progress on the completion of the banking union and to strengthen the repeal study to mechanisms including by providing that backstop to the single resolution front. this reform of the new trends in the euro and of the result also our union in turbulent times. news for for all europeans. briggs's. the e.u. oughtn't to serve and let's take a note of what has been achieved so far however there's a great deal of work a hurt and most difficult tasks are still resolved. if you want to reach a deal in looked over we need to create progress this is their last call to lay the cards on

e.u. works you went to brussels to do research for your novel which won the german book award and or can tell us about the e.u. officials you met there. do they do is that a job as many people believe and so high school drop you feel you know what i'm on that they didn't know on the contrary it is not the case that he will officially not qualified especially at the european commission will be sealed that's not the problem. the problem concerns the institutional and systemic contradiction. ns within the european union and this need for case. has the final word within the structure of the e.u. it's the european council it has the final decision making powers to seem to the heads of government to the not so nice thoughts of the heads of state governments of the member states see and that's the contradiction common european policy has developed and decided on by the leaders of nation states review. we've got to get away from that if we want to see a european republic. most of the officials in the european commission are highly qualified they speak several languages they studied to top universitie

e.u. we're talking about people who are fleeing war or. horrible conditions what does this mean for them well this the agreement that the e.u. leaders came up with at their summit is essentially an agreement about the external border of the european union to tighten that to create new centers both within e.u. countries of first arrival but also offshore in northern africa so somebody's trying to leave africa either for political reasons or for economic reasons let's say that person tries to get onto a boat they might be intercepted at sea turned back and brought to these disembarkation centers in northern africa we are told that those centers will be run in accordance with international human rights law unclear whether in fact that will be the case otherwise if they make it to europe they might wind up in a closed center in a country like italy or greece again those closed centers that have been exit the existence until now have not always gotten very positive assessments from human rights observers so both of those in some to some degree a

perhaps explore alternatives to the ideas that the only alternative to solving is an or bones national is rhetoric is an e.u. wide response with twenty eight member states for the time being i don't see being able to come to a collective agreement you mention or burn think of there is a maze percolation with rex it is hard to imagine how these twenty eight states could at this point in time so what is an alternative planets will be and is one that i'm going there as mention as she stepped out of the so-called mini summit on some on sunday the time has come for in a number of countries smaller in a smaller group of countries she mentioned bilateral and trilateral deals for countries actually share common interests be them political or economic going out in the geographical to agree in an alternative more pragmatic response to water problems that clearly affect their own national interests and their own national borders for example for a number of years the reality of our rivals by sea has been larger delta by individual countries greece in two thousand and fifteen italy up until now now that selene is pullin

e.u. countries or quit squad the ones who don't fit in with the plans that i'm going to merkel of germany and emmanuel mccann of france have to resolve the immigration situation across as in a pan e.u. sort of way let's be clear here mr tosk is speaking to people who have in some way shape or form change their constitutions change their laws oriented policies which they believe are a way to deal with the crisis but which which have in fact either criminalized helping illegal immigrants or are putting real quotas on the numbers of people who can who can move around in those countries from angela merkel's perspective she had hoped that the mini summit on sunday coming and then the full e.u. summit in brussels at the end of next week would arrive at some sort of solution but now her officials are having to row back from that and say no no no sunday's mini summit is a working group don't expect any conclusions to come and of course yesterday she had to reassure the italian prime minister that there was still room for negotiation no final draft emerged of what will happen in brussels at the en

e.u. blessing or else. also coming up the chief executive of german luxury car make you are audi is arrested on suspicion of fraud. it is the latest developments in the diesel emissions cheating scandal. at the world cup belgium got to have off to winning start beating panama 3-0. we will look at that and the day's other games. it is good to have you with us feel the german chancellor averted a crisis in her government over migration policy for now at least. her interior minister horst seehofer from the sister party wants to close the borders to some refugees. the chancellor says that would go against european union principles. today seehofer give her a deadline. if she cannot deliver a solution in two weeks time he sayss he will acts alone. -- he will act alone. >> she didn't get more than a short respite but that was more than angela merkel was expecting. after fears her government would collapse she's won some time until the e.u. summit at the ends of june to find a yoeurope solution to asylum institute.

europe faces many challenges but migration could become the make or break one for the e.u. either we manage it so others in africa believe that we are guided by values and believe in multilateralism not unilateral ism or nobody will believe any longer in

e.u. officials you met there. do they do is that a job as many people believe. he did or to mine that. on the contrary it is not the case that e.u. officials are not qualified to special a at the european commission will be sealed that's not the problem. the problem concerns the institutional and systemic contradictions within the european union and this needs to focus. who has the final word within the structure of the e.u. it's to european council it has the final decision making power to the scene to the heads of governments in the not so nice stops with the heads of state governments of the member states see and that's the contradiction common european policy has developed and decided on by the leaders of nation states. if you shift as before we've got to get away from that if we want to see a european republic. yesterday officials in the european commission are highly qualified to speak several languages they've studied to top universities and they came to brussels out of idealism because they want to work on the european project who really are very qualified and they come up with

e.u. membership or without close ties the e.u. italian bonds is they will be able to borrow any more of the bond market i mean again with such a high debt to g.d.p. ratio we are not talking about the fiscal rules in brussels all by the way the fiscal rules domestically because keep in mind that italy has a balanced budget rule in the constitution and according to the technical situation you cannot spend money if it's not properly financed so it is embedded in the constitution it's never been taken heed of ever as it i think at least at face value oh it was respected so far has been respected ok with a lot of flexibility with a lot of special clothes or so for but there has been respect if you deliberately go against that i think you will run into trouble because effectively again it's not about rules is about financial markets was going to give you the money was going to finance the economy who was going to buy the bonds you see five louis de milo as multitool that doesn't mean he's going to be calling and has been calling for mor

europe faces many challenges but migration could become the make or break one for the e.u. either we manage it so others in africa believe that we are guided by values and believe in multilateralism not unilateral ism or nobody will believe any longer in the system of values that has made us strong that's why it's so important a specialist u.s. military team has joined the search for twelve young footballers and their coach missing in a flooded cave complex and northern thailand a group of around thirty joints a british cave diving team and tied navy specialists are already involved in this search and rescue efforts are being slowed down by constant rainfall scott hired lawyer has more from outside the cave and. heavy rain overnight between wednesday and thursday brought the water level in the cave system to its highest level yet but now that on thursday morning the rain his light to the water level has retreated a bit but the pumping systems are still sitting idle you can see a lot of the hosing over my shoulder now on wednesday morning they're putting hundreds of meters of

e.u. defeat as natalie said how does how do they defeat populism this new populism phenomenon or you cannot really defeat populism populism has to defeat itself. actually going to it says those and then people have to see that it doesn't lead anywhere that's the only really really it can be defeated not by fear from brussels but in a certain weary the e.u. has been. pushed together the remaining us report together by trump. to some extent by breck's it and i think this similar thing is happening in the financials here by the whole of the other countries in the union seeing what happens if you think that you can announce very fiscal expansions without having the money for it that's why countries like spain portugal ireland are those which have had a crisis are saying never again and we certainly don't side with the italians so an italian slow be rather isolated and they will feel that actually what they want to do cannot be done and in the end today in this sense i think the current framework for the euro might become stronger than before but they have to have reforms within the european uni

e.u. rules or is. membership really at risk here as some have said i don't think that membership is ever is but what is. they have to question now is when will people realize that the constraints which come from your membership for example in the economic and financial spear and these constraints actually help the country to become a stable and austerity might solid band but in the end with a country that has such a large head you don't have much of a choice to do it anyway and if it's not the e.u. which employs isn't it really financial markets and people have to understand that as long as they don't they're going to remain against the euro once they were understood that this is just a fact of life they can get away with then maybe they would see that actually within the were rather it is easier to deal with this problem if harry cohen romeo . some would say this is a slap in the face of the e.u. but is the block itself at risk with the rise of these populist bodies and now this first a populist gover

e.u. banks or to offshore accounts.he flopped and banks did not properly check where does money was coming from other banks in the european union or being in the international system would accept those morning with all its. laundering them unknowingly. in one case in twenty sixteen one point three billion euros disappeared without a trace from banks in moldavia hundreds of thousands of people lost their money triggering massive protests in the capital kishi known a b o v bank was named as the culprit. they just send it into the bank. for maybe a couple of hours maybe a day and then the sand if there are more of it spreads around the world the one point three billion euros has yet to be tracked down the line government is now amending its legislation in an effort to challenge money laundering among the country's banks and the new generation of bankers also seems eager to end the criminal practice of the banks. thirty thousand customers in the span of one and a half year which for a total customer base of their own two mi

e.u. doesn't know what to do with its member hungary where strong prime minister or one dares to defy the vision brussels has for the future of the union so how well hungary hold under pressure and what will this dispute mean for the future of the union well i asked the hungary and foreign minister peter. a rift is widening at cross the e.u. cutting a line down the block in the shadow of the former iron curtain with eastern european members growing frustrated with brussels orders and the e.u. establishment put off by the eastern politics behavior in particular with hungary's migration and political decisions is there room in the union for several political visions can the partnership figure out a way to balance national and continental interests or does the e.u. risk being torn apart. east west confrontation. so it's really good to have you again on our program welcome back its way on the. map here there are tensions between hungary and ukraine over the rights of the ethnic and variance in the west and you have said that ukraine stepped hungary in a back what is your reaction going to be

e.u. . there will be for you or anything else would be ridiculous. but if you ignore problems you lose credibility. pretty good if you want to advance the european project you have to criticize the way things are right now could see that the concept is worth defending we need to develop a vision of what we want for the continent of these quote on the basis of something that can be summed up in a single sentence something that everyone can agree with doing. no european country not even large states like germany will be able to master on itself nichols the great challenges that we face. is very restless even. if it did this and i think you know that but europe is still unpopular you know and you chose to study how the e.u. works you went to brussels to do research for your novel which won the german book award. tell us about the e.u. officials you met there. do they do is that a job as many people believe and so high school drop the feel you know what i'm on that. on the contrary it is not the case that he knew officials are not qualified especially at

e.u. white deal or it will take action to of open door policy on refugees dominic cain has more from berlin. of all the other e.u. leaders emanuel is the one i'm going to america will have heard shares her views on how to deal with the continent's migration crisis the issue has dominated the debate this past week in berlin on choose day the french president made clear his determination to act. that meant that the minister it is with this same determination that we believe very strongly in the european response to the migration challenge we have not just discovered this challenge we did not discover it last week but we have very clearly determined to get to act and the european and coordinated why such friendly sentiments from the french president are exactly what angle america would have been wanting to hear from this meeting because in the past few days she's had to concede on immigration policy to her to mystic c.s.u. allies promising a european solution the price for not seeing her coalition toppled in this document which purports to be a draft of what e.u. leaders will deliberate over i

e.u. there's those or asian economic russian economic union for us we won't more integration be the european businessman more integration with these two unions why and way i don't and he said but china. i will tell you is very very. seventy percent in in russia seventy percent install quite more or less in his origin he can make you can see the diversion of the free and direct investment europeans. that's all ten percent american and the rest. and china is of the. income of investment it's not a lot because we produce is it means there are european companies produce produce in russia produce in kazakhstan pretty things that you know that we have kompany we made of this complaint is are these companies are against of course the russian it was originally going to be two hundred low but we manage them and we have a program we have got to address as a result or it is of the commission of liberation economic units or so we are here and we don't want to go well it is one of the largest corporate what are ways they would never read that in the new york times you let me go to our front row here to t

e.u. car industry really harmful to the u.s. economy or is he just hitting the e.u. where it hurts. well if you if you look at cars getting imported to the united states the european union is a distant fourth or far behind countries like mexico for example or all saw canada a good seven percent of imported cars here into the united states to come from europe so that is a certain number but by far not the biggest one but he certainly would hit you of we had heard most of them and if you look at the car market the global car market the u.s. behind china has the biggest the second biggest car market in the world so it is. quite important area for the european companies to be in yes that would hurt europe where it hurts and it wouldn't have such a huge impact probably on the u.s. car market overall while perhaps he's less in the driving seat the more just driving the e.u. crazy thank you very much. thought as we heard trump was reacting to the e.u.'s counterattacks which came into effect on friday they in turn were an answer to trump's tariffs on steel alimony and levies the e.u. is char
