that is why emanuel macron took his time., quite close to vladimir putin, is very helpful to britain now, looking isolated over brexit to have a bit of noise and heft behind this position now. especially given the language that was used, it is essentially an attack on us all. this threatens all of our security. difficult to know where in terms of economic sanctions that may go. certainly singing president trump coming out very clearly. people have been wondering whether or not the reason he has been pulling his punchesis reason he has been pulling his punches is because there might be something the russians have on him. in the end i think those around him have pushed him to make this statement. donald trump pushed by anybody? by the grown-ups in the room at, one of whom we will talk about ina room at, one of whom we will talk about in a moment. he does the pushing because it the next story focuses on the report originating in the washington post or the new york times, that hr mcmasters days are numbered. in what is the week o

debt, currently at 130% of gdp, and very crucially italy's role within europe as leaders like emanuel macronintegrate the continent ever more. >> does the leaders of whether it's the league in the north or the five-star movement, do they have a mandate to block those types of reforms that people like emanuel macron of france are looking for. they softened their eu rhetoric coming into the election, but they're not pro integration. >> many italians are proponents of the european project. there was a realization that by being so critical of europe they were alienating a large voter base they dialed it back. that's helped them get votes in other parts of the country their message has been about things like unemployment, creating new jobs, and putting italians first ahead of the needs of europe. that's going to be a big question going forward they're really going to be pushing, trying to reassess how europe interacts with italy especially when it comes down to financing. >> willem marx, thank you very much for that. market has been pretty muted, the reaction to this election. the euro steady yes

that the entire international community as they put it but that means basically donald trump emanuel macron angle markel uniting with to reason may and their condemnation of russia which again that's a quote highly likely was behind that poisoning and the second thing is saying that russia does denies that all that's it according to certain of the international media fails to mention the rest of the things the fact that actually and many ways the u.k. government refuses to cooperate with moscow on various issues the fact that the investigation is actually still on go and no evidence or facts have been presented to the other side and also. really here cooperating with russia on the issue of bringing this to the w.p.c. which is the organization that's responsible for these kind of issues with chemical weapons around the world now i also also asked the russian foreign minister about the latest remarks by the british secretary of defense i'll just take a listen to what he said a little earlier. is absolutely atrocious treacherous and outrageous what russia to it and souls great we have responde

this is emanuel macron's biggest challenge so far, but this is also an argument about long establishedditions for the train drivers have barely changed in half a century, it was a job for life with retirement at 52, the national rail company has promised months of rolling strikes to protect those benefits but the president has sta ked benefits but the president has staked his presidency on reforming the economy and when it comes to the ra i lwa ys the economy and when it comes to the railways opinion polls suggest two thirds of french voters agree with him. it's been six months since hurricane maria devastated the us territory of puerto rico. aid agencies say life for many of the island's 3.5 million residents remains a day—to—day struggle. many are still without electricity. in the second of his reports from the island, aleem maqbool reports on the anger growing over what many see as is a lack of urgency in the us government's response. imagine having to depend on a generator to keep your mother alive, thatis generator to keep your mother alive, that is the way, has been living now fo

i think that theresa may should be approaching angela merkel and emanuel macron and other european leadersorld cup should be postponed until 2019 and should ta ke be postponed until 2019 and should take place in a different host country or countries. i think it is just unthinkable that we could be vindicating and legitimising the putin regime by rewarding him with this festival of football in the summer, giving him a huge public relations coup, if you like, and allowing him to showcase his government and rewarding his behaviour. i think that it conflicts directly with what is happening, the and appalling attempted murder on the streets of britain. that's where i think the next steps should be. the difficulty, of course, cracking down on the finances of those people in and around the kremlin, signing up in and around the kremlin, signing up to the magnitsky are called across the european union and so many other measures that we can take to directly target the people in and around the kremlin. but make no mistake, the move that would do the most damage to britain and undermine support amongs

right so would just go to bring you some more on this now president emanuel macron did take some more subtle swipe at u.s. president donald trump they didn't wait and see didn't stop because some decided to leave floor and leave the bridge agreement. because a decided it was good for them for the children the grandchildren they decided to act. and keep back. and. while we are here in order to act recreate. the antarctic has been described as one of the most remote and treacherous places on earth much of its rich to biodiversity has yet to be fully documented in the second part of our antarctic series we look at european union's campaign to protect the desolate region al-jazeera is nick clark joined a green peace scientific expedition through the wet elsie. the captain's eye view of all voyage south as the icebreaker optic sunrise pushes through into the remote waters of the weddell sea vost unknown territory few ships venture this far. has already made an attempt this and talk to someone but was foiled by ice because we are way through. to get it down into the wealthiest try and reach

across the country and many schools have been closed unions are angry at plans by the president emanuel macron to cut one hundred twenty thousand public sector jobs by the year two thousand and twenty two from paris natasha butler reports. thousands of public sector workers protested in paris united in anger at the french government's plans to reform public services and cut jobs it was a similar picture across the country in the city of nod there was some violence. workers from france's national railway were s.n.c.f. lead the demonstrations the government wants to scrap their special privileges including early retirement for train drivers but rail staff say the benefits of compensation for long unsociable hours and low pay it's important that we must show that rail workers like all french people have to defend themselves we want to show the power of the streets and that they are real people behind these jobs so we are against michael's plans that. we are certainly not better paid than orders look at but it is shins and all the advantages but they want to single us out we don't agree with the c

but of course when those other countries say well look please will you stop bombing cooter like emanuel macron the french president said to him apparent in the phone call today and please you know we think you poison this spy is british spy in england and putin can turn to his people say well you see we're trying to be nice with them but they keep accusing us of these things and they don't want to deal with us and this is and this is what happens all the time he he says that russia wants to engage and be good but he's everybody else that's present of the problems and so in that sense it isn't really a contradiction and and to that degree i think those remarks even though they look as if they're aimed at the outside world actually i think are probably just as much aimed at a domestic audience who can say look our president he's such a nice guy and he's everybody else who is the problem and lawrence lee that live in thanking. now britain in the european union have agreed to a nearly two year transition period after the u.k. leaves the bloc next march the chief negotiator michel barnier said rule

we heard this evening, he will have, after the french president emanuel macron, chaired a special meetingnce, a special national funeral. i think that is totally appropriate. the terrorist was on a register. for people who are known for having been radicalised but unfortunately the assessment was that he wasn't an imminent danger. what were these judgments? so difficult. we live in open democracies, they are difficult. to have the resources that are needed to stop an individual like this is tantamount to impossible. there is the kind of police states we would want to live in? presumably, given the enormous courage of the police officers and arnaud beltrame, that, in a way, provides a unifying emotion of pride in grief that must put some of those questions at bay. beautifully put question, actually. ifi questions at bay. beautifully put question, actually. if i may, iwill read one of the tweets i find, apart from the one in french from theresa may yesterday, which means so much to french people and a lot of people. also the tweets you have read throughout the day on the bbc. i've been disc

about offering to mediate purely for its own sake or is this an issue of national security so emanuel macron the relatively new french president he can still appear to be an internationalist but at the same time he can appear to get a grip on domestic issues because there is a very strong sense coming out of the security agencies in paris that the quotes terrorist incidents we see in france they originate or they all thought up inside syria or they have been historically in some of those that's established facts. well there's no doubt about it because he does have that problem at home and given the fact that he's comparatively new on the international scene he doesn't bring a lot of baggage in terms of dealing with the president to want and again if he can broker something that you know divides the forces on each side of the euphrates i think that would be a face saving way to help but everybody the last thing the united states wants is you know to have a conflict with another nato ally turkey there so that seems to be the best hope right now but a gun it's far from you know a done deal part
