yes, emmanuel macron _ two decades. why is that? yes, emmanuel macron has - two decades.on has visited l two decades. why is that? yes, - emmanuel macron has visited germany a lot over the last few years, three times just this year alone, but the state visit are rare events. these are huge big set pieces. 20 years agojacques chirac was french president, gerhard schroeder was the chancellor. they are constantly in dialogue. that dialogue has been slightly strained because of 0laf scholz and emmanuel macron have very different positions on key policy issues. what we are seeing today is an issue that is laden with historic symbolism. this morning a visit to the holocaust memorial in berlin, then onto dresden, which was largely destroyed by allied bombings, giving a speech to young people from germany and europe in front of the reconstructed church of our lady, which was almost completely destroyed in the war then rebuilt. this is a real reminderfor emmanuel macron of the importance of the eu as a peace process —— peace project. what he is trying to say is that the eu is all

emmanuel macron is convinced.ity of sending ground forces to the territory of ukraine was understood in most countries, however, among the first to react to his latest interview was the leader of the french patriot party, florian philippot, who called the president a madman. a new attack of madness in nato from the madman macron, who has just announced again that he can send ground troops against russia, he would do this, in particular at the request of ukraine: stop these completely irresponsible statements that could lead us to the worst, no soldiers, no weapons not a single euro, ukraine is enough, peace, peace is needed. it is expected that most of these topics will also be discussed this evening in paris, during emmanuel macron's dinner with the german chancellor. and olaf scholz. colleagues. yes, origina, thank you. our european correspondent, regina sevastyanova, spoke about emmanuel macron’s statements about sending troops to ukraine. the french parliament will set up a commission to investigate cases of s

and olaf scholz is far from wild, emmanuel macron and olaf scholz is farfrom wild, not emmanuel the friendly relationship as the predecessor, and hille merkel. the two men have a slightly frosty, competitive relationship and the difficulty is when you comes to key policies, they have different views on how to support ukraine militarily. they both agree that the west needs to give the ukraine substantial military support. germany does so to a large extent and is the biggest payer of military support and second to the us in the world but where they differ, mr macron has been vocal saying he will not rule out sending nato troops to ukraine, he sent long—range french missiles to ukraine and also said that ukraine possibly should be allowed to attack russian military targets with western weapons. those three positions have been rolled out categorically by olaf scholz. he said yesterday that western weapon should not be used to attack russia. so they have very different views on how to support ukraine. on the economy, different views. concrete policy differences. both leaders say more

emmanuel macron bein: the from china? emmanuel macron being the french _ from china?ng the french president - from china? emmanuel macron being the french president has| being the french president has a national agenda to get more chinese investment in france but also has long talked about more market access for european economies in china and you mentioned the allegations of dumping of chinese overcapacity exported to europe so this would be on his agenda as well. for xijinping what you would be on his agenda as well. for xi jinping what you think he wants get out of the trip? xijinping is clearly on economic diplomacy mission. there are increasing conversations in europe about putting up trade barriers, tariffs, on chinese exports to the european single market and he is here to ever the spectre of a women trade were between europe and china. we are talking electric vehicles, wind turbines, solar modules and so forth and he is trying to, but he has a threat in his suitcase as well which is through the european market that's already one of the most protectionist marke

what emmanuel macron is hoping for is a better dealfor what emmanuel macron is hoping for is a betterr european what emmanuel macron is hoping for is a better dealfor european but notably french companies dealing with china. the chinese president is keen to reiterate the importance of the bilateral links between the two countries. some of the formalities here before they make their way away from the site of cameras to have those talks. it is an important moment as the two men meet, it is the second day of the xi jinping trip, there haven't been no big announcements, no news on the economic policies, no new trade deals between the two. one of the main objectives here is to try and reduce the trade imbalance between china and european companies. we will keep you right up to date with any developments that emerge from those talks. let's return to our top story about boeing. let's speak now to the business leadership expert chris roebuck from the ucl school of management. michelle was explaining the latest edges for boeing. it's really serious, this, isn't it? i edges for boeing. it's rea

for example, emmanuel. macron is ready at some point to send even his troops to help ukraine, and some countries and their leaders are afraid to help us long-distance countries, because they think that we will, and in the end we want to use them. in order to fire at targets on enemy territory, in particular, and they are afraid to do this, but again i see, according to the results of a survey, among the youth of france, there, men from the age of 18, more than 50% were ready to fight on the territory of ukraine, if it is really necessary for protection of the interests of france, but we remember polls in other countries, i won't say in which ones, only, in my opinion, less than a few tens of percent of all people were ready to fight on their territory in order to claim theirs. ukraine, that's why, well, france is france, that's why here it is, and well, it's obvious, it's a tradition, probably, although i don't know, well, but it's a very good position, and we thank you for this position, and we believe that if ne

let's turn to the french pacific territory of new caledonia, where president emmanuel macron has arrived taking control of the unrest triggered by a contested electoral reform. you can see president macron speaking here. he is speaking in french and will bring you the highlights later on or bbc news. the territory is under a state of emergency after the worst civil disturbances in a0 years. it's unclear if pro—independence groups from the indigenous kana community will agree to meet mr macron. the unrest was started by separatists angry at paris's plan's to widen new caledonia's franchise to more non—native people. speaking to reporters at the airport, mr macron said ensuring peace and security to the territory was his government's main priority. for weeks, all commercial flights have been halted, cutting the island off from the rest of the world. the australian royal air force has evacuated australian nationals from the territory, but others remain stranded. among them are maxwell and tiffany winchester, an australian couple who have been stuck in their resort for the last week. maxwell

many thanks to emmanuel macron for this position.k you that he is trying to at least rally other european countries and their leaders around him, around helping ukraine, and it is bad that not everyone listens to him. for example, emmanuel macron is ready to send even his troops to help ukraine at some point in time, and some countries and their leaders are afraid to give us long-range countries because they think that we... and we, in the end, we want to use them to fire targets on enemy territory, in particular, and they are afraid to do it, but i see according to the results of the survey, among the youth of france there , over 50% of men over the age of 18 were ready to fight on the territory of ukraine, if it is really necessary to protect the interests of france, but we remember polls in other countries, i won't name them, but in my opinion, less than a few tens of percent of all people were ready. to fight on one's territory in order to defend one's country, so france is france, so here it is, and it's obvious, it's a traditio

but france with respects china's long-standing relationship. from russia, this was stated by emmanuel macron with the leader of the prc. but, as the french press notes, macron actually tried to do everything to destroy cooperation between moscow and beijing. true, nothing came of it. about sizempina's visit to europe. anastasia popova. instead of the pomp of the palace of versailles, the french president chose his working residence in the center of paris. he walked down the steps to meet the chinese leader, but there was no hug... the chinese leader in paris, diplomats say, is the head of the european commission, ursula vonderen, who is engaging in aggressive trade rhetoric towards beijing. however, this is why macron invited her, first with him to china, and now she insisted on being present at the champs elysees, and transferred to her the thankless job of threatening china. chinese products have flooded the european market, beijing continues to actively support its industrial sector, but the world cannot accept excess chinese products, so i called for chinese. wants to simultaneously limi

some people such as emmanuel macron certainly believes so and - macron certainly believes so and there an idea, which ursula von der leyen has been dodging, rather, about whether to have commonjoint debt, common dodging, rather, about whether to have common joint debt, common debts to fund defensive spending because defence and security is really the hot topic in brussels at the moment was dubbed it whatever it is talking about. there is no eu army but there is all this talk about how to do morejoint procurement is all this talk about how to do more joint procurement and find money for common european defence shield, how to make weapons and sync up shield, how to make weapons and sync up than different national armies. all of that will need money as a sandro gozi was saying and some people do want to mimic the post covid recovery fund which was called debt and was a watershed moment for the eu and now they want to do that with defence but there is urgency now with the euro war in ukraine and russia still continuing to stop i do not know if that is going to happen it does depend on what

on the eve of xiding pinnya's visit to paris, emmanuel macron personally admitted that there are seriousferences in views on relations with china in europe. if european commission president ursula fonder is also in paris today, she will join trilateral negotiations, then, for example, the federal chancellor of germany, olaf scholz, refused a trip to france. referring to the data, the commitments given earlier, even the surroundings of this visit of shizen pinya are different from the one he made 5 years ago, in 2019, for example, emmanuel macron receives his guest. not in versailles, but directly in the center of paris, which, according to analysts, indicates the purely business nature of this trip, especially since the parties meet against the background of serious disagreements, in particular in the economic field, we are, of course, talking about the dispute surrounding the supply of electric cars from china to the european union and china’s retaliatory measures, in particular the investigation and trade duties on the import of alcoholic beverages from france, which seriously hit the

emmanuel macron intends to use the personal meeting silpenem to try to convince beijing to use its influence. in a fresh interview with french media, the french president spoke about his intention to discuss the issue of a universal olympic truce, but france’s repeated attempts in this direction were not particularly successful , reuters emphasizes, with the exception of the decision for the first time call vladimir zelensky shortly after... the first purpose of this meeting is geopolitical, not economic, since emergencies are geopolitical in nature, so i think they will discuss the war in ukraine. china positions itself as a neutral country, but is a privileged interlocutor of moscow, we all know this. the middle east will also be discussed because from a diplomatic point of view china represents those who question the current world order, so always it would be interesting to know china’s opinion on this conflict; experts do not expect the chinese leader to deviate from his adopted position; beijing stands for promoting the political regulation of the conflict and is against adding fuel to

france's president emmanuel macron is in germany for talks to bolster the single market.

french president emmanuel macron called on europe to come to its senses now, he said about the sendingright-wing forces that could win the elections to the european parliament, there are many pro-russian politicians among the candidates, you also have, you know, ms. tetiana zhdanok, who for many years represented the latvian republic in the european parliament, abducted in cooperation with you and i are not surprised, but the audience is surprised now, of course, what should be done by a responsible politician to stop this populist march, match, you know, when you live under the conditions of a democracy, people can definitely choose politicians of their taste and choice in latvia. we also have quite a lot of citizens who are ethnic russians in their origin, and so far we have proven that ms. zhdanok, and we are talking about this, that she was connected with the russian special services, she had the right to run for any positions as well, but... well, so when we now hope for new elections to the latvian parliament, there will be nine candidates for the european parliament from latvia,

emmanuel macron intends to use his personal meeting with xitinping to try to convince beijing to usepressure on moscow. in a recent interview with french media, the french president spoke about his intention to discuss the issue of a widespread olympic truce. but france’s repeated attempts in this direction were not crowned with much success, emphasis. except solution si for the first time call vladimir zelensky shortly after emmanuel macron visited beijing last year. the first purpose of this meeting is geopolitical, not economic, since emergencies are geopolitical in nature, so i think they will discuss the war in ukraine. china positions itself as a neutral country, but is a privileged interlocutor of moscow, we all know this. the middle east will also be discussed because from a diplomatic point of view china represents those. questions the current world order, so it is always interesting to know china's views on this conflict on how to resolve it. experts do not expect the chinese leader to deviate from his adopted position. beijing stands for promoting a political settlement of

french president emmanuel macron says he is outraged by the israeli strike on rafah and qatar says it. dan johnson reports. explosions. this was israel's air strike late last night in southern gaza — it says, targeting senior hamas figures with precision weapons. but look what it did to the nearby camp where thousands of palestinians were sheltering. israel says it was striking legitimate targets in line with international law. but many of these people had already been uprooted many times through this conflict. "suddenly, we heard the sound of a missile," this man says. "we ran and found the street covered in smoke. we couldn't see anything. then we found a girl and a young man who had been blown to pieces." women and children are among the casualties here in what they believed was a safe humanitarian zone. this morning, israeli drones surveyed the damage as people questioned how this could happen. translation: we heard a very loud sound and saw fire, - the kids were screaming and all the rooms surrounding us were made out of metal sheets, the sound was terrifying. translation: we set

europe, he came to france, met with emmanuel macron, and all ukrainians hoped that emmanuel macron wouldble to convince xi jinping, but xi jinping continues to play his cunning game. yes, he made some good deals with france, but that exclusively economic agreements. even some french media wrote after this meeting that sidneypin even got angry when president emmanuel macron together with the president of the european commission ursula fonderlein... tried somehow to persuade him to put as much pressure on russia as possible, but it didn't work out, further, then serbia and then hungary, this is precisely what he wanted the most, he wanted to go in order to probably quarrel first of all between the european union and the united states of america, showing that no, look, there are such people in europe, like viktor orban, or like aleksandr vučić, who also want peace talks, you know, one of the world's biggest buyers of luxury products from french brands, it's from food, drinks, clothes, jewelry, diamonds, it's in china, by the way , then you can just not some certain things, well , again, mon

we and others have reported the ties in the relationship between emmanuel macron and olaf scholz, theve probably been a bit more difficult than compared to the relationship between emmanuel macron and his previous successor, angela merkel, so i think it's going to be important to see how much concrete progress that can really make to really cooperate more deeply and more closely than france and germany have probably done over the last two to three years. >> as often is the case with these types of meetings, i'm sure many analysts will be watching out for the personal chemistry between these two leaders given what you just said about sort of the tensions that have existed between the two of them over the last couple of years. thank you so much for joining us today on the show. friend finance minister bruno le maire says the g7 is united in its concern over the threat to the global economy from china's industrial overcapacity. speaking to us exclusively from the groups meetings in italy, he also confirmed its commitment to funding support for ukraine. >> we are on the right track to get

china's xi jinping said today during a meeting with french president emmanuel macron in paris, wherearrived on a two-day state visit. the leader of the celestial empire emphasized that he understood problems that the war in ukraine creates for europeans, but china, xi jinping says, did not start the war and does not take part in it. at the same time, the leader of the people's republic of china also emphasized that official beijing has always played and will continue to play a constructive role. in terms of peaceful settlement on the european continent. well , it is also interesting that today during the tripartite meeting with french president emmanuel macron, the president of the european commission, ursula fonderlaen, was also present, and there they also raised the issue of interaction and cooperation between china and the european union, and all three agreed, even xi jinping ... that this cooperation should not only be continued, but also deepened and strengthened. and, by the way, sidzenpin is going to serbia tomorrow, but only for one day, but the day after tomorrow he is goin

in france, which was his first stop, xi jinping spent two days visiting emmanuel macron. after the reception in paris, they had a private meeting. the leaders of the countries went to the mountains near the border with spain, there macron v as a child, he went to visit his grandmother, in belgrade today, president oleksandr vucchich met sijinpin, and the next stop of the chinese leader will be. but let's look in detail at what the results of all these meetings could be, and let's start with france. i will say right away that china is primarily interested in trade. prevent a trade war with the eu over chinese electric cars. trade was one of the priorities of the talks for xi jinping, but apart from that, there was talk of russia's war against ukraine in paris, as were the united states and most of the eu. france wants beijing influenced moscow, with which it maintains friendly relations. "we respect the long-standing ties between china and russia and the efforts made over decades to stabilize those relations. given this difficult history, we welcome the commitment of the c

moving on, it looks like french president emmanuel macron and german chancellor olaf scholz is playinga game of tug-of-war from leadership in the european union, but of course it is in our hands. the head of the bundesurad called on the governments of european countries to continue supporting ukraine, but to do so... with more military equipment and to take this equipment from their weapons depots. olaf scholz said this today during his visit to lithuania. according to the bundeschancellor, ukraine does not have time to wait for new weapons and new ammunition to be manufactured, therefore, he says, it is necessary to give what is already in the warehouses. and first of all, he says head of the german government, now ukraine needs air defense equipment, so germany is already providing the third system. patriot. ukraine has the right to self-defense, and this is the right to self-defense. thus, the official representative of the diplomatic service of the european union, peter stano, commented on the information about a possible attack by the armed forces of ukraine on the kerch bridge. a

think we have to see how skillful the french leadership will be to solve this issue, because emmanuel macronnto such traps all the time during his mandate, and it is necessary to understand. what if you go to any compromises, you immediately meet misunderstandings among a large part of the population of france itself, so emmanuel macron succeeded in an unusual way in corsica, when he came to corsica, in fact, he made a fool of the idea of ​​this corsican community, such an almost, i can’t say state, but at least, well i don't even know how. to formulate an entity with signs of statehood, one can say so, you understand, and this is very important for corsicans, i once walked in the city of corse, the former capital of independent corsica, on the modern museum of corsican history, which is located near the old house, where the bonepart family lived, without little napoleon, he was born in another city, but the rest of the family lived there, because napoleon's father was in of this independent corsica, he could not understand the main thing from this, there was no separatist family there, and

well then, let's hear the master of the elysée palace, emmanuel macron, in direct speech.how can we explain to the ukrainians that we give them weapons so that they can defend their cities, but at the same time we prohibit them from hitting targets on the territory of russia, so we need to allow them to neutralize all military facilities from which missiles are launched in the direction of ukraine , at the same time should remain the ban on hitting other targets in russia that are civilian objects, so when ukraine is attacked from designated targets in russia, and we really want to ... help them, then i think we should allow them to do that. well , emmanuel macron said one more thing, volodymyr zelenskyi is going to visit him in paris next week, and as the french president said, he will, very specifically, this is his quote, say what the french authorities intend to do with this permission and in the end and in the future support of ukraine. well, during this one the meeting between macron and scholz was another very... interesting, well, intriguing, i think, statement thi

emmanuel macron, emmanuel macron had already messed things up with china in the past when he said thatan issue and thereby provoked the anger of washington, but did not make friends with beijing then, criticizing him for trade protectionism, but what now? obviously the dialogue is escalating. previously, macron naively thought that he could charm strong leaders, vladimir putin, donald trump, xijinping, let's see if he will try again to influence xi so that he, in turn, influences putin, but last year such attempts by macron failed, china did not stopped supporting moscow, and even the call he formally made to zelensky at macron’s request did not affect anything. after france, the chinese leader goes to serbia and hungary, which have a different attitude towards moscow than the pro-american one... what shizen was cooked today at a french dinner in a report by anastasia popova. instead of the pomp of the palace of versailles, the french president chose his working residence in the center of paris. he walked down the steps to meet the chinese leader, but there was no hug. a long handshake
