>> donald trump and emmanuel macron had time to spend together.hey had dinner yesterday at the eiffel tower in a fine restaurant on the second floor. they also spent part of the day yesterday and have a lot of time to speak today. we saw them talk to each other on many occasions. a lengthy handshake as well. at the end of the visit. emmanuel macron's objective was to put rants back center -- was to put france back centerstage as far as the united states and europe as -- is concerned. --will try to convince them convince him to rethink the paris accord. trumps what donald appeared during the joint press conference yesterday. it is difficult to know there will be any movement on that specific dossier. other things, one thing on which france and the united states, emmanuel macron and donald trump agree is fighting terrorism. french troops and american troops are fighting side-by-side in iraq and syria against the islamic state group. this show here was an opportunity to emphasize this military cooperation but there are many other things on the table

as far as emmanuel macron is concerned.rying to negotiate in the area. he should lead europe in this direction. there are huge problems in the middle east, in africa and asia. they cannot be sorted out. the united states cannot sort this out. even in the united nations, europe has the weight, the wealth and certainly the leadership to persuade... if you add emmanuel macron to the question of germany... we have always talked about the engine of europe being france and germany. tony blair was suggesting this weekend that europe as well felt diminished by the prospect, that europe would be weaker and less influential in the world. is that how people see it in brussels, paris, berlin? they do, but they will never admit to it. they are also trying to make up for the loss of britain. britain is moving very fast, making up for the fact that they are leaving. we need to try to cover the ground that britain by others. i think it is very significant that emmanuel macron was elected at this juncture. he significant that emmanuel macro

the french president emmanuel macron is hosting u.s. president donald trump for dinner at the eiffel tower tonight. during a press conference earlier today mr. trump said something that made a lot of people gulp. the u.s. president said something could happen with the paris climate agreement. people took that as a signal that mr. trump is reconsidering his decision to pull out of the agreement. at that same press conference trump praised the relationship between france and the u.s., describing it as unbreakable. the two said that they are cooperating on counterterrorism efforts and a roadmap for postwar syria. the talks are part of trump's whirlwind 36 hour visit to the country, his first official visit to france. and our very own correspondent is covering this visit for us, he joins us now from paris. good evening to you, max. both of these leaders went out of their way to reassure their intended audiences that all is good and well between them. did you buy it? reporter: i wouldn't say that they tried to say that all is good and well,

she was in the second round run off against emmanuel macron.s the strongest on boarders. then of course there was the famous muscular handshake between the two in may when they first met. it seemed to go on and on and on. and mr macron said there was no no accident. he had deliberately done this so that he could send a message. he said it was a moment of truth. but on more fundamental matters the men have big differences. emmanuel macron has been critical of donald trump's decision to pull the us out of the paris agreement. the issue came up in the press conference, this was donald trump and emmanuel macron talking, but mr trump's response was curious to say the least. i disagree about the reading we have of the paris agreement. we have disagreements about this accord. and about the decision made by president trump. something could happen with respect to the paris accord, we will see what happen, but we will talk about that over the coming period of time. and if it happen, that will be wonderful, and if it doesn't, that will be ok too. what do

emmanuelle: my husband and i would have adopted children. franck: we'd have chosen to adopt straight off -- even though the process takes years. but it would've have been better to wait. reporter: now the dangers are not only listed on the drug's information leaflet, but on the package itself. it's a small but important victory for the affected parents -- even if sanofi continues to sell the drug in other countries without this warning label. but what the parents want most is for those responsible to be held accountable in court. franck: whether it takes 10 years, 20, or to the end of our lives, we won't give up. reporter: they're fighting for justice -- for themselves and their children. michelle: the drug's active ingredient is used not only to treat epilepsy, but also migraines and depression. this means that many more women were exposed to the drug than previously thought. and it is still being prescribed not just in france, but to women all over the world. like many people in europe, fabio zgraggen was devastated when he saw so many mig

and emmanuel macron wants to work with donald trump. he believes the world is in crisis, the sensitive issue like the syrian issue and he really wants to try to do something in the fight against terrorism with the united states and with the trump administration. and what is striking is to see at this moment, this new friendship which is developing between emmanuel macron, despite the problem with the paris agreement and the american president. >> will emmanuel macron come out really looking like a leader if he can bring president trump back in the fold? emmanuel macron doesn't want it to be the g19 which is how many people described that last g20 meeting. if there is going to be a european leader for president trump to bond with, isn't it a higher probability it will be someone like macron more than it would be a theresa may or angela merkel? >> yeah, you're completely right. which is also striking is to see emmanuel macron arrived in power on may 8 lgt and in the last two months, you saw vladimir putin in paris and now see donald trump

emmanuel macron seems determined to change that.es it depend on him delivering domestic reform ? nicolas sarkozy promised it, so did other presidents, and nobody was able to pull it off. that is the question. so far, he is presenting all the reforms that europe has been demanding in terms of labour market reforms, liberalisation and so on. he has the parliamentary majority to approve that legislation. what is going to happen in the streets? it is the streets in france... the irony of britain leaving now is that when the campaign for brexit began, they said, europe is falling apart. it is crumbling. old europe is not the future. france's dilapidated. now we see a vision where, for one thing, the eu is growing much faster than we are. we are at the back of the line for g7 growth. france and germany look very united and strong. europe has new strength, energy and enthusiasm, we have been left behind. we are the ones who are going to feel like outsiders. a flyover zone will be very important as well. it will be going to germany and pari

hours from now in paris, president trump holds a news conference alongside the french president, emmanuel macron. it will be the first chance for reporters to question the president publicly since the revelation donald trump jr. met with a russian lawyer hoping to get dirt on hillary clinton. in advance of the conference, president trump tells reuters he was unaware of the meeting, only learning about it a couple of days ago. >> a public source says the president has privately dismidismiss -- privately discussed dismay with the meeting, but he's annoyed that it's become a distraction from the overseas trip last week to poland and germany, and now a trip that the white house sees as a success. how will it affect the president's trip now to france? we have more from our paris bureau. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. no doubt this is what is likely to overshadow what was already going to be a very closely watched visit by the american president from the european perspective. i mean, european leaders, macron, first and mower post it, looking for a sign that donald trump is willing to

emmanuel macron is in focus. he has said, iam emmanuel macron is in focus.ader, i don't need your pressure. he had a slight dip in approval ratings, that always happens in the first 100 days. there isa happens in the first 100 days. there is a bit ofa happens in the first 100 days. there is a bit of a sense that he is overconfident at the moment. let's remember, those first 100 days, all presidents around the world, it has become a real test. how much can you get done, and how quickly? he won't worry about this too much. we will see what happens after the first 100 days. having a look at the independent. figures coming out of mosul. this is about the number of civilians who are dead. it is terrifying, i don't know what to make of it. the figure is said not to be the 6000 has been reported, closer to 40,000. this was reported bya closer to 40,000. this was reported by a classicjournalist closer to 40,000. this was reported by a classic journalist who gets closer to 40,000. this was reported by a classicjournalist who gets the scoop again and again. we have go

if you had emmanuel macron to angela merkel of germany.es this question of the duality, we are voiced by the engine of europe being france and germany. tony blair suggested in his comments this weekend that you're also felt diminished by the prospect of britain leaving, then europe would be weaker and less influential in the world. is that how people see it in brussels, in paris, in berlin? they do, but they will never admit to it, and they are also trying to make up for the loss of britain. europe is moving very fast and making up for britain leaving. we need to try to cover the ground that britain used to cover, and i think it is very significant that emmanuel macron was elected at this particularjuncture macron was elected at this particular juncture and has macron was elected at this particularjuncture and has lost no time in trying to show that actually france is here, france is back, france is here, france is back, france is here, france is back, france is going to be a country that makes a power that makes a difference in the world.

donald trump is also highlighted what an outstanding new leader emmanuel macron is, who can leader emmanuelthat, to maybe go out on a limb with his warm welcome for donald trump. there has not been that much opposition to the trump visit. there might been another european countries, we might have seen european countries, we might have seen demonstrations and so on, but not so much of that in france. emmanuel macron made all the right noises, emphasising his friendship with donald trump and the fact they are going to work as allies. this suggests the franco—american relationships is one of the strongest in the world at the moment. but it is very clear nonetheless that macron is far more interested in the institution of the american presidency than in donald trump himself. it is wise diplomacy to have received him in such a civilised and respectful manner. you are quite right to highlight the actual lack of protests. france is after all, and paris in particular, the birthplace of revolution and protests, and there were no trump areas set up protests, and there were no trump areas setup near p

emmanuel macron has just arrived for bastille day celebrations. he is hosting president trump for the event which marks 100 years since the rifrl rifle o an troops who fought along with the france and it seems that we have a bit of a bromance developing between the two leaders, quite a change from the previous relationship between them >> reporter: yes, the relationship between donald trump and emmanuel macron started on a bumpy road, but since yesterday, it's been all smiles and compliments exchanged between the two president trumps donald trump saying you have got a very good can president presie emmanuel macron called donald trump his friend and treating him to a friendly dinner last night at the eiffel tower. so a dream like visit for the 2ru6r trumps melania trump was driven on a boat and given a private visit of notre dame. obviously it was like a postcard visit for the presidential couple so any of minute now donald trump and emmanuel macron have gathered at the bottom of the champs-elysees and in a minute the parade will start right after

in just moments president trump meets face-to-face with french president emmanuel macron. he may be in paris, but can't shake those questions about moscow. just hours from now he will face reporters and you can bet he will get a flurry of questions from the firestorm surrounding the meeting that his son had with a russian lawyer, why? because of a russian government effort. the president defending his son once again telling reuters in a new interview there was zero coordination between russia and the campaign. let's begin this morning with our senior white house correspondent jeff zeleny who has the background of the -- >> reporter: the president is going to do something today he very seldom does, that is take questions from reporters. he'll be attending a news conference later today alongside french president emmanuel macron. he'll be taking two questions from u.s. reporters and two questions from french reporters. and of course the matter at hand regardless of where he is still questions about the russia allegations, the russia revelations that really have dogged and ove

billed as aeing state of the nation style speech, emmanuel macron will lay out the objectives for his five-year presidency, but there will be absentees. macron is accused of taking an authoritarian approach and of overshadowing -- onet is used as an serves purpose. it macron is saying i'm a boss. he wants to crush his prime minister. say helitical analysts is redefining the distinctions between the president and the prime minister. -- the president of the republic and prime minister have two different jobs in the acted --s both have has acted more like a prime minister than a president. >> he says he wants to make the in annual event. >> for more come up with brendan -- >> if you are an outsider looking at this, especially in america and this committee say what is the big deal? even in france, this is not a first. what is interesting is presidents have always delivered . message to parliament it was usually through a messenger such as the prime minister of the government. since 2008, there has been a constitutional provision which -- ted to deliverl setting a presidential message so w

so, nigel farage, looking at donald trump and emmanuel macron in paris, it's hard to think that emmanuelthe more statesman—like of the two, isn't it? donald trump does things differently. he is not a conventional politician or a leader in any way. you only have to follow his twitter account to know that. but what he is is an agent for change and he is trying to shake up the american establishment. but he's not a global leader. look at the world's opinion polls. they are all looking at emmanuel macron as global leader. do you know something? i thought the speech he gave in riyadh is very bold and brave, saying directly there, "drive out of your places of worship those that do evil." he was treated in poland like a hero, with tens of thousands of cheering people in the streets. he may not be the sort of cup of tea that the liberal media go for but actually i think around the world he may be a bit more popular than people realise. it gives him a break from what's going on in washington at the moment. you have been tweeting your support for donald trump junior. i know you are friends but can

in a few minutes, trump and french president emmanuel macron will face reporters from both countries in a news conference and we'll see how much the russia scandal followed the president across the atlantic. and apair of interviews before he left washington, d.c., president trump defended his oldest son, donald trump jr. and aga dismisseded "russia story" as a hoax made up by the democrats. which, of course, factually is not accurate. russia's interference in the u.s. election is established fact, at least as far as president trump's own intelligence community testified before congress and the possible collusion by his campaign team is a matter being investigated by the fbi. this is trump's second trip to europe in less than a week, helping the french celebrate bastille day, tomorrow, and mark the 100th anniversary of the u.s. entry in world world 1, despite suggestions around the president and indeed the president himself he might have preferred macron's challenger in the election, marine le pen. and steve bannon made a friendly overture about populist nationalism. and earlier trump

the dignity of the presidential office is something about which emmanuel macron feels very deeply.me to versailles, a place of regal pomp and awe to talk to his legislators. he called and they came — 900 deputies and senators in buses from paris. newcomers to the assembly, like the mathematician and macron loyallist cedric villani, who saw nothing wrong with the president's unconventional summons. it is an exceptional, critical moment. the nation has gone through a terrible lack of trust recently. i find it perfectly normal and reassuring that the president wants to address the congress today. the speech was a 90—minute pep talk. an exhortation to lawmakers to understand the appetite for change in france and to act. he said he wants to make government more efficient, cutting the number of mps by a third, and europe was, as ever, a central theme. translation: it is no longer the time to paper over the cracks. we need to take europe back to its beginnings, to its very origins and, in that way, give life again to a desire for europe. earlier in the day, there had been a security alert

we help this meeting because the french president, emmanuel macron, has not beenin president, emmanueln in office for that long. we had a chance to meet and also i call previously before this meeting, the ukrainian president, so he doesn't get the impression as if we were talking in the absence of ukraine about issues that are important to them. we said, emmanuel macron and i. them. we said, emmanuel macron and i, would continue this process with mr putin. it is a very slow process. there is segregation and even setbacks. we didn't gloss this over. we said we wanted to find an appointment for a telephone call, the four others with the ukrainian so we the four others with the ukrainian so we continue cystic to this format. there is other bases in any way and no other format. but we didn't gloss over the differences. madame chancellor, on president trump once again, how would you assess his contribution to the discussions, how would you describe it? there were pictures which caused a bit of confusion when ivanka trump was sitting in the room with him and other heads of state. can you exp

this is where president trump and emmanuel macron will meet in a moment or two.s where the rebels picked up the ammunition and to storm the bastille. also here is the tomb of napoleon so there will be to modern leaders standing for pictures by the tomb of the great napoleonic himself —— napoleon himself. i think these pictures will please both leaders. it says something about the way in which this whole ceremony is taking place and then of course bastille day on friday, that is an opportunity not among other things to recognise it as 100 years since american troops first set foot on france at the tail end of the first world war to come and help their french allies at the time. i think it's fair to say, there are many areas there were these two men do not agree, obviously the paris climate deal, which donald trump told the americans out of, issues about protectionism versus free trade, they're not going to be resolved here but i don't think that is the purpose of the meeting, its an opportunity for two relatively new world leaders to get to know each other, to bui

president trump in france meeting with the french president emmanuel mac a krchlm.pping his fox news streak, doing his first tv interview outside the network in two months. what he's

there will be a warm greeting by emmanuel macron.p and circumstance that you can imagine the french will put on. on the flip side there will be a lot of demonstrators in the streets who will not be too pleased to see donald trump. >> well, i'm not sure about too many demonstrations in the streets. the situation here is unusual because of course since the terror attacks back in 2015, the french have been under a state of emergency that has been extended multiple times. and that does limit one's opportunity to demonstrate. there is a scheduled demonstration at the place republique where the demonstration has been scheduled. one of the elected groups in the french parliament which has officially stated their opposition to this visit. but i think that all in all, this is a holiday, a festive weekend. and i don't think we're going to see the same kinds of demonstrations that were there up at the g20 in hamburg in germany last week. >> of course donald trump is there for bastille day, which is on the 14th, which is of course france's natio

meeting with emmanuel macron who some see as -- should be an ally. many characterize it as awkward given the statements and handshake. what do you expect from the optics and content from the meeting with macron and trump? >> i think when you have two world leaders sitting next to each other, it's not like the scene from "love actually " that everyone likes to remember. it's generally congenial and political. they play is safe. when they part, they can go their separate ways and take snipes at each other. it's interesting that in setting each other up as their foil plays to both of their bases. for trump to continue to use himself as the anti-macron in the u.s. certainly plays to his base here. for macron to set himself up as the anti-trump in europe is strengthening position for him. i think you see in this sense two savvy politicians recognizing how they need to play the relationship. as you mentioned, i think everyone's going to be watching the han-- handshake again. >> prak ron called it a -- macron called it a moment of truth the first time. he w

emmanuel macron went through a shopping list of all the things she has done in body and the european ideals of peace and freedom. women's rights. social protection. fighting your entire life against racism, anti-semitism. all of the valleys of the fifth republic and to doing this at a time when you could argue the fifth republic needs a universal figure to be able to embrace at a time great polarization and political turmoil. talk us through her major accomplishments for those of our viewers who might not be familiar with what she's done. >> so many generations of young and old she was a part of them. she could all identify with something. she didn't consider herself a feminist but she was on the front lines of one of the biggest women's rights, to .egalize abortion in france after coming under great attack. being vilified, having a swastika painted on her car. it was very brutal. she was the first member of the european parliament elected by direct vote. she embodied the european ideals of peace and freedom. the defining framework of of her life was seven or eight months she spent i

emmanuel macron's government wants to renegotiate. government offered italy a deal to split the ownership 50-50 warning that if they refused france would take majority ownership. ahead head of a decision on thursday government representatives insisted any nationalization would be temporary. >> we want to reaffirm france's place and national interest in this big naval yard which is important to our nation's economy. the biggest shipbuilder in europe. a historic rival of the french shipyard. unions are slipped over the theonalization option with hard-line in favor but others against. local representatives fear it puts at risk the 7000 workers employed at the site. more concerned with having the facilities than the workers. of strategicrd is and economic importance to france. it's the only naval yard in the country with facilities kick all of building aircraft carriers. last year it deliver the largest passenger ship ever built. >> pretty big ships. turning to some pretty big numbers from facebook. >> they keep on getting bigger. profits

yes, emmanuel macron did win overwhelmingly, but if you look at what he can actually do, is he going closer together? isn't that what he is planning, more integration? and will it work? well, i admire his ambitions to what he is doing, going from a platform of having fought the french elections where the galvanising force was the fact that he had a far right extremist as a candidate against him, and even then the turnout was not enthused enough to be able to say the french people felt enthused to come and back macron on this. for him then to say that he can take this on across europe—wide scale, i believe it is really ambitious on his part. it doesn't sound like sajjad thinks it could work. is further integration for european countries within the eu the answer? if you take on board some of the euroscepticism that does exist in france, it is still divided like many other countries, but will it work? a lot of what is being talked about will take a long time to deliver — quite possibly, after we have left the european union. so it is, to a certain extent, up to them. the choice for the

earlier the flattery was reciprocated with president trump praising the leadership of emmanuel macronen complimenting his wife. you are in such good shape, he told her. the two men may have their differences, but emmanuel macron laid on the charm as he seeks to boost france's global influence. of course not everybody has been as welcoming. the small protest was organised against president trump's visit, with demonstrators critical of america's withdrawal from the paris climate change agreement. a decision the president hinted he may be willing to re—examine. decision the president hinted he may be willing to re-examine. something could happen with respect to the paris accord, we'll see what happens. but we will talk about that over the coming period of time and if it happens that'll be wonderful and if it doesn't that'll be ok too. 0n and if it doesn't that'll be ok too. on friday morning the men will take their seats on the champs elysees to witness french troops marching with the us military in the bastille day parade. a moment to symbolise 100 yea rs of parade. a moment to symbolis
