e.u. works but you can solve that by simply abolishing the e.u.r taking away some of its opportunities to do better. as the other productions of said the only thing we can do is strengthen that. there is still this feeling this disquiet something's going wrong if the officials call germany an opinion dictatorship whereas the party says its truth is the only truth this is eroded public confidence in democracy. well democracy looks different it would mean that you know exactly freedom of speech yes absolutely i've been freedom of speech should be the supreme good but you just can't have the wrong opinion that's how it is so the f.t. . no other party comes into question why not you know why there are too many arguments to go into in detail. but one of the most important ones. well try to sum it up. a lot of things aren't going right here. if you move. the feeling of not being understood by the powerful in france that's driven a lot of people out onto the streets. on saturdays the yellow vests always call for a man who calls resignation even illegal i

e.u. as a whole the digital tax doesn't solve the tax avoidance problem we need to reform the international corporate tax system to address that problem. that was clemens foose of the evil institute he joined us from munich and speaking of taxes the new york times says president trump quote appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual american taxpayer the most the paper said it has acquired tax records showing trump's businesses lost more than one billion dollars between one nine hundred eighty five and one thousand nine hundred four it says that allowed him to avoid paying income taxes for eight of those years report comes the day after treasury secretary steven minucci denied democratic lawmakers request for trump's tax returns saying that requests threaten taxpayer privacy. staying in the u.s. google's highly anticipated io developers conference has kicked off in silicon valley presenting a raft of shiny new offerings the search giant showed off its new pixel phones along with augmented reality for google search results and improved artificial intelligence for google

e.u. money has has ended up in romania it hasn't solved all the problems and so i looked at one of the places that is still a challenge in a state that struggles with corruption so despite he you money you still have a lot of poverty here i traveled half an hour outside of c.p.u. in central rumania into a roma settlement. cosman wants to get in here into this new house which looks so nice and clean because till now he and his five siblings have been living here in an old hot made from wooden sticks and clay this is one of the many roma settlements in romania always on the outside of.

at the same time it does seem like this would solve the revenue question that a lot of e.u. countries have yeah it might generate revenue but that's not the reason to adopt this tax the goal in this tax is to discourage or deter behavior that's harmful and in the best case this tax might not generate any revenue at all because firms stop doing the things that we think are harmful and you don't have a lot of confidence in regulatory bodies in the u.s. you mentioned specifically boeing in the f.a.a. at the u.s. regulator in your piece why don't you trust regulators in this case. so i'm on the record saying that the f.a.a. plus it's the other agency the n.t.s.b. the national transportation safety board the two of them together are the gold standard for regulation and i recommended a system like that for our financial sector they were very effective at regulation but what we've seen recently is that. the boeing was so powerful through its influence on the congress and the executive branch boeing was able to mood or seems to have been able to neuter these once very effective regu

e.u. and up in the whole solve the deadlock in that talks be a full on that is the possibility of these taking longer thinking but right now the 2 sides have given themselves that line off and wednesday to sign the deal and that is why more people have been floor king into the square these. from the same morning hoping to join the foetal protest this is still a promotional someone's son and that mohamed you're right there are still major sticking points in this deadlock over the sovereign council might that really be a hendren to making any type of progress. yes it could be because both sides want a majority stake in the console it is going to be that council is going to have a whole. transitional period and it is from the. console of the head of state that next head of state albeit in trim will come from the console and ball for the military on the opposition movement want to. the biggest share of say it's 11 seats up for grabs the protesters are saying that any deal that does not include a soon to a civilian head of the soldier in council would piece them and the generals who make up the tra

e.u. think about this house or solve it all this playing out in front of their eyes. well you know just think it's worth bearing in mind. when they gave the u.k. and still the end of october to try to fund the solutions of brics it's and at that point the european council president said to them loud don't waste this time and not only have they are they not going anywhere they're actually going backwards at the moment because they don't really have a government in any shape shape shape or form or a prime minister and you know. the french of french ministers yesterday saying we just don't want the u.k. to be in the european union any more all over it is that between the summer and the end of october the u.k. is going to have to decide if you want to haul bricks it's or not to leave it sold and it might decide not to leave it all and have said so a lot because they just can't figure out a way to do bricks it but you do wonder if the european actually wants the u.k. in when when this is psychodrama just never ends never ends or in slane i have in line to thank you still a

compromise an agreement a mutual agreement and solve this a longstanding problem between the 2 countries which should look. problems with integration into the e.u. or if the government's desire so nato which in serbia case i think it's unlikely but the cost of them might want to do so. as long as there is mutual agreement and as long as there is a leadership within both countries and both governments i think some refreshment solution is possible and is definitely desirable now having said that there will be spoilers on both sides domestically there may be external actors russia or other regional powers who will not necessarily welcome a resolution of a problem of this nature but it is their fickle to forecast exactly when their idea of the circumstances fill it or eyes to see the solution but no i don't i mean you seconds left and i get a final vote difference in our series if you don't mind just on the idea of this as we say normalization of relations come out this is a lot of centuries old grievances or a strong russia this is about a week with we have seen over the last 12 months in this push for a land for alliance between the presidents of

the money will said he wanted to see a new rene solves take place in europe well if he can reform the way directly elected positions are filled in the e.u. institutions will vast maybe more akin to a revolution peter all of our r.t. early. political analyst and raina roth told us he doesn't believe the so-called lead candidate system has lived up to expectations. in my understanding there's some kind of dodge or leave leave kind of the system is a kind of democracy simulation because of the citizens cannot directly choose which candidate is the best option who represents best the people's interests so it's a party issue the parties before hand select their most appropriate what they think is most appropriate to have it but this is quite dysfunctional because even in germany we can see that monthly the german. lead candidate for the e.p. p. is fighting against german interests just to get votes from that for example east european parties when he says that not stream to pipeline should be stopped as it has been finished now and it's in strong german interest to continue with this work so this is alarming the system has failed. on the scre

e.u. but that they also want politics to change fundamentally. but the most significant victory of the night went to material solving these far right league party in italy. there when went beyond all expectations salvini said this was a sign that europe was about to undergo a transformation. only used to lead the 1st party in italy but marine le pen is the 1st party in france and the u.k. nodule for august 1st equally france england it's the sort of a europe that is changing. but despite his success it's unlikely that salvini will be able to fulfill his dream of working with all the nationalists to turn the e.u. on its head from within populist in other countries did not do as well meaning the far right to still be in a minority in the european parliament. and that also divided among themselves and to immigrant leader viktor netted more than 50 percent of the vote but disagrees with all the populists on a range of issues even analysts say would be no longer possible. to europe to go back to business as usual given the gains made by such parties. and we can talk about all of this now with yosef yarning from the european council on foreign relations

e.u. political structures the parliament the commission the council of ministers the remote from our lives and put our own parliament back in solving control of our destiny we can stop british law being enforced by european court and instead make our own supreme court genuinely supreme we can end free movement and design an immigration system based around skills that work for our economy and society we can stop making payments to the e.u. budget and in stand stead spend our own money our own priorities like the n.h.s. . we can get out of the common fisheries policy and the common agricultural policy design our own systems around our own needs and resources. we can do all of these things and by leaving with our deal we can do so much more besides by reaching an agreement with our e.u. trading partners we can keep tariff barriers down and goods flowing friction free across borders protecting jobs and setting off firms up for future success we can guarantee workers rights and environmental protections with a deal we can keep our close security partnerships and keep working together to keep people safe. we can ensure that the challenge

doesn't solve the tax avoidance problem we need to reform the international corporate tax system to address that problem all right of course a lot of that will hinge on the political willingness of the e.u. and other nations work together that was clinton's foes of the evil institute joining us live from munich we apologize there for some of the pictures problems with the pictures now onto other news speaking of taxes the new york times says president trump quote appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual american taxpayer the paper says it has acquired tax records showing trump's businesses lost more than one billion dollars between one thousand nine hundred eighty five and one thousand nine hundred four and says that allowed him to avoid paying income taxes for eight of those years report comes the day after treasury secretary stephen the denied democratic lawmakers request for trump's tax returns saying the requests threaten taxpayer privacy. and over to germany were siemens says that it will spin off its gas and power division in an i.p.o. next year the former core division which employs forty four thousand workers has come under increasing pressure in recent y

so speaking of mr solve any he already feels to be leveraging that strong result to make a play for the role of the leader of the european anti e.u. forces can you take that role and will we feel more confrontations with other over the budget austerity rules and not just from italy. you are not a chance because he doesn't have serious allies i mean these are trying to ally with the bo galleon strongman but you know that's not the center of european politics madame le pen is it is and has flying and of course she won the popular vote in france but by less than she won it in the last utopian elections and there were there were for the nigel for rise in the u.k. which of course would be fine except niger for. unlike your salvini is to get out of the european union so it's very difficult to ally with suddenly to take over european politics but merely on their way to exit the scene i think is going to be sorely disappointed to present himself as a a major european figure that doesn't mean of course that he doesn't hold the initiative in the tally in politics. right no he's certainly does. so right now what will be the european busines
