there's a row and emmanuel being said that italy was cynical and acting irresponsibly. and outater not out apologize -- he did say on the mean to ushe did not and italy or italians. this meeting was almost scrapped, but as you can see, it is going ahead. we expect the italian prime minister to shore up intensive we expectes time -- the italian prime minister to 10 to 15 minutes time. italy is a country that has seen itself doing a lot of the 50 -- heavy lifting in the migration crisis, it is a main point for migrants crossing into the eu. a lot of people seeing these ngo ships as helping smugglers, providing a transport service across the med and italy being the place were these people are delivered and processed because eu rules they have to be processed in the country where they first arrive. than half are million unregistered migrants. you mentioned this will be a dominant topic, but also a for the eu.ue we have the key eu summit coming up in two weeks time. that's quite right. while decisions are made and announced at the summits, a lot of the work is done in the ru

emmanuel macron realizes he will not have a german interlochen to deal with. she has to fire his -- her interior minister over this dispute within the conservative bloc in parliament. they are going to talk about eurozone reform. i think they are going to come up with bilateral, believable proposals for the other partners in the european union. angela merkel desperately need them. toanuel macron really wants work with the german can -- german chancellor. that ishe find a deal likely to satisfy her interior minister who is not overly happy? >> i did not think she is going to fix everything with the french president. they do agree on some things. they agree on the need to defend europe's exterior borders better. they need to have equipment. you need money to buy that equipment. you need assistance to exchange information. it is a complicated picture. even though italy is technically an anti-immigrant government, they want the borders patrolled better. it is an agreement between germany and italy on that issue. no, france and germany are not going to resolve this

the teenage boy addressed the president as "manu" — short for emmanuel. editor for the french weekly marianne, and asked her how mr macron‘s comments had gone down in france. it hasn't gone down normally that is to say he did not address of the head of state or indeed a teacher or anybody in a position of authority with such nonchalance and he is about 1a this young man is and he was just told off by the president. what is interesting accident, a lot of heads may have chosen not to hear it and continued shaking hands but emmanuel macron is not that kind of head of state and is not shy away from a confrontation and he never avoids questions and he likes to ta ke avoids questions and he likes to take them on and it is interesting because of the most interesting bit of the exchange happened just later andindeed of the exchange happened just later and indeed resident mccrum —— president emmanuel macron tweeted the whole exchange after the teenager and dressed him by a nickname he said so you will take your exams soon and the teenager said yes, and i will pass

france's emmanuel macron discusses the challenges of staying on the same page with u.s.resident donald trump. president macron: there are things that tie us very closely to the united states and as far as the security is concerned, i enjoy these close relationships very much. but there are certain topics where we do not see eye to eye. ♪ announcer: welcome back to the 2018 st. petersburg international economic forum, where five of the world's most influential leaders came together for a panel moderated by bloomberg editor-in-chief john mickelthwait. the discussion turned to a sixth leader, u.s. president donald trump. john: you are trying to persuade donald trump to not junk the deal, you tried to persuade him not to quit the climate deal, not to start a trade war, not to move the embassy in israel to jerusalem. you tried to do all these things. you tried to softly, softly approach and it has not worked. do you now think you should argue with trump, mr. trump in a much harder way? president macron: i made an attempt, i tried. i continuously worked on that because that is

french president emmanuel macron had his first ever meeting with the pope today. the private talks went over time at the vatican with the men speaking for close to an hour. with a sign of the growing tensions between france and italy on the migrationues, he will not be stopping to meet with the italian prime minister. for more on the visit to the vatican, let's bring in josephine. wase know more about what saidid between the popope and president macrcron? >> we are waiting for a few more details. what was remarkable about the visit was how visibly moved president macron was when he first met the pope. there were warm smiles. a very long meeting that went from us in our. after the leaders exchanged gifts, macron reached over and kissss to the pope -- and kissed the pope. that was quitete remarkable as well. i apologize there. it is quite remarkable. the message certainly was about migration. withdent macron met members of a community of an important catholic charity that supports the poor and migrants. he was also interested toto lean abt t the humaninitarian corri

the migration crisis the french and german leaders a call for a unified european response but is emmanuel mccall supporting enough to help chancellor merkel how she is under intense pressure but in how coalition to find a solution to the refugee crisis by the end of the month. also on the program record numbers of people running for their lives the un refugee agency estimates sixty nine million people around the world have been forcibly displaced fleeing real violence and persecution. and welcome to the program germany's chancellor is sticking to her position and insisting on a unified their european response to irregular migration and a medical french president emmanuel macro on back cabinets met today to discuss eurozone reform and solutions to europe's migration crisis chancellor merkel said europe should stand up for its democratic principles and call for greater a new solidarity in managing migration. the first being that doesn't even mind we see this as a common challenge we have no one in which we have to look at how we can combat the causes of migration. so this means working for

emmanuel: i think so.working on that because we must move away from the issue of trying to respond to fundamentals and certain numbers. sharing fundamentals and how to respond to market on a more permanent basis. i expect that to happen. >> with a be called opec? opec?ld they be called i'm interested in the details. thank you so much. .hat was emmanuel ibe kachikwu we are hours away from this opec meeting that we have been waiting all week for, manus. indeed.e are you and i will speak and the question is what will venezuela and iran do. great work over the past three days. america first, nigeria first and all others too. that goes to the heart of something. let's talk about stock markets. stock investors have little doubt who would cough worse from a trade war. shares have been hammered. now they are the cheapest ever relative to those in the united states. china's surplus with america means it has the most to lose. joining us now is shanti kelemen. good to have you on the program. i have this chart witchi

obviously what these new solutions are that emmanuel macron is thinking of.t the numbers, we had this eu-turkey agreement in 2016, which reduced the numbers to greece. we had another similar agreement between libya, italy, and the eu last year. italy still has the highest , with more than 15,000 arrivals since the beginning of this year. >> it is interesting, isn't it? hotre as you say, pass the high turf of the immigration numbers. could this issue derail the eu unity that chronic -- emmanuel macron hopes for? in terms of taking on the trump administration on trade? >> it does seem that this eu unity could be derailed. until now, it was mostly eastern european countries rejecting these arrivals of migrants. hungary, poland, czech republic, slovakia, who reject ed. -- rejected what the eu tried to put in place last year. this system of regulation failed. now you have the heart of italy rejecting this vessel. germany and the german chancellor, angela merkel, really under pressure within her own government and interior minister, who wants to close the german bo

it brought this brusque tweet from emmanuel macron.he president's isolation that this should perhaps more properly be called the g6+1. donald trump seriously considered not coming at all. he feels that he gets lectured by the other foreign leaders on iran, on climate change and of course, on trade. and he's not a big fan of being lectured. but one area where he is doing the lecturing is on his surprise call today that russia should be readmitted to the group. whether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run, and the g7, which used to be the g8, they threw russia out. they should let russia come back in, because we should have russia at the negotiating table. but france, britain and germany are saying no. the expulsion decision was made after russia annexed crimea. theresa may had more recent events in mind. we have seen malign activity from russia in a whole variety of ways. of course, including on the streets of salisbury in the united kingdom. so, we need to say, i think before any such co

that was tweeted out by the french president emmanuel macron. they are rather cozy with each other, sitting next to each other on the sidelines of this g7 summit, sort of the omg7 summit, mainly because of the comments. when he talked about bringing russia back into the g7, the uk minister said we remember why russia was kicked out of the g8 because of the invasion of crimea, the annexation of crimea and ukraine. there are other destabilizing acts from raussia, the meddling in the 2016 election and the uk prime minister focusing on the poisoning on british soil. this is why the president is somewhat an outcast at this g7 summits. there was supposed to be an official bilateral meeting with emmanuel macron this morning but because the president was late to the summit, that didn't happen. he's going to sit down with canadian privacy justin trudeau at about 5:00. but of course they've been going at each other over the last several days because of the issue of the u.s. slapping tariffs on canadian aluminum and steel. that erupted in a nasty phone cal
