- the european union from outside the eu.- and you want i the eu.mber of economic - that number of economic migrants permitted to enter france to be something that the french parliament sets the quotas on. but the point i'm making is you're saying, unless the eu does something on this, there'll be other brexits. so, what made you say that? which other countries — frexit, maybe? france...? other countries - frexit, maybe? france...?- maybe? france...? my responsibility - maybe? france...? my responsibility is - maybe? france...? my responsibility is to - maybe? france...? ii responsibility is to draw the lessons of the brexit, which is not a small event — it is a very historical and serious event. and we have to take into account the social anger, also — the popular feeling. account the social anger, also — the popularfeeling. don't confuse the popular feeling and populism. we have to insert reason into...— populism. we have to insert reason into... you won't answer my question — reason into... you won't answer my question as _ reason into... you won

what does that mean for eu security? >> china is not a hard security threat to the eu.ld be careful to separate these things. america has strong commitments in that part of the world. for europe, there is still a threat from china. that is seen clearly. the eu should not be trapped into going to a chinese owned mine or porsche in africa or -- port in africa or wherever. some have said defensively, they have troops that add up to me the equivalent of the china news. -- chinese. i attended there is summit three years ago at which, the chinese prime minister astonished everyone by saying that china favors european integration. they want a single currency which shows you can be nice to the people you are listing. it is a complex situation but not a hard-core on in terms of is this for america. one thing that is happening and you have alluded to it is a quest for relevance and credibility. we have the eu picking up something davis said that people want to put in eu flag on everything. they are under pressure to deliver for the systems and one of the things it feels it should

but this region, the eu has a lot of influence, particularly on kosovo where the eu is playing a rolen institutions, the appointment of judges, for example. so of all the conflicts in the world, this is an area where the eu could have some pole -- pull. with limitations they have tried to pacify the situation and avoid taking sides, which is important. it is dangerous to pick a side, even if you secretly think one side is more guilty than the other. in recent years the eu has missed certain opportunities, i am thinking of the ideas put forward by serbia having an area with neighbors where there would not be passport checks. that is something you would expect the eu to support but interesting lady -- interestingly the countries opposed to it are montenegrin and kosovo. -- are montenegrin oh and kosovo. it is a nato member state. they see this as a grand serbian id and at the end of the day the ideas do not have passport checks. so it's great for people in serbia and i think that idea should have been explored. >> one of the things peter is saying is that the conflict is solvable by the

the world is changing, it's challenging — but, you know, ithink the eu is adjusting.is role going in the world. but my second reflection is that, you know, despite the fact that many times we look at our weaknesses, actually, europe is a beacon for the rest of the world. a beacon of rights, a beacon of protection of minorities, a beacon in terms of equal rights for women. it is — why is europe attracting so many persons, and is an inspiration for so many parts of the world? i think we should be proud also of those elements that maybe are less visible in terms of... you talked about defence, you talked about power, i think we also have to continue to reinforce those elements that i think make us different in terms of our development model and have made us a success for decades. nadia calvino, i thank you very much indeed forjoining me on hardtalk. thank you. very quiet on the weather front out there right now and quite warm, too, after a hot tuesday for some of us. here's a reminder of the temperatures we had on tuesday in a selection of places. these are the hotspots

not from the eu itself. between the brexit and me — i have nothing to do with these people. and i wantjust to tackle the problem and the anger and the feeling and the asking of my people and my country. one point is that migration policy does not work in france or in europe, so we have to change this policy. i understand you're talking about economic migrants coming into the european union from outside the eu. correct. and you want that number of economic migrants permitted to enter france to be something that the french parliament sets the quotas on. but the point i'm making is you're saying unless the eu does something on this, there'll be other brexits. so, what made you say that? which other countries — frexit, maybe? france? my responsibility is to draw the lessons of the brexit, which is not a small event — it is a very historical and serious event. and we have to take into account the social anger, also — the popularfeeling. don't confuse the popular feeling and the populism. we have to insert reason

of course, there is the eu a- — top of the last. of course, there is the eu a.u a. there is, which is- top of the last. of course, there is. the eu a. there is, which is another one of the — the eu a. there is, which is another one of the big _ the eu a. there is, which is another one of the big fish, _ the eu a. there is, which is another one of the big fish, of _ the eu a. there is, which is another one of the big fish, of course - one of the big fish, of course commander is a trade deal, i free—trade deal with the european union. your member of the debate about whether we were going to leave with no—deal. we did have a free—trade deal, but very clearly, the terms of that deal give us less access, less access to british exporters to the eu single market. and if you look at the numbers that have come out recently, they are pretty striking. in the first seven months of this year, these are statistics coming from the eu statistics coming from the eu statistics office, and the first seven months of this year, british experts to the eu fell by 17.1% compared to the

we arejust uk left the eu. so what does that mean?eavy users of gas, one of the biggest users in europe. that's why were feeling it particularly sharply. in the same is true if you look at countries such as italy and spain factors such as that, how much you import and how much you rely on gas for your energy that is impacting what your bills look like not whether or not we are members of the eu. that's not to say there are question marks about the future because there is in the mechanism when emergencies or state look out for each other make sure they have enough supply. what happens if we do see an emergency over the winter, could the eu perhaps restrict the supplies sent over to the uk? analyst are telling me that it's unlikely because the uk exports a little bit of gas and that goes mainly to the eu member states and the eu wouldn't want that disrupted at all. but there are many factors at all. but there are many factors at play here. we could say with certainty that this crunch isn't good to go away anytime soon. it's going to be

quite the eu does not see it as black-and-white as the u.s. does. that puts europe in an uncomfortable position with united states. in many aspects, commercially and in and defense aspect -- a defense aspect. europe would like to take america's side and see china as mainly a threat and not a commercial partner but we have seen over the last couple of years particularly with aggressive actions by china that the eu is moving more close to the u.s. point of view. i don't think you'll ever see the european union take such a stark view of beijing as the u.s. does. >> thank you. police in the german city have arrested multiple suspects after authorities are calling a minute -- islamist motivated threat after an attack on a synagogue. it comes after right-wing extremists killed two people after failing to force their way into the city. >> armed police officers deployed to protect the synagogue. this had to be canceled at short notice. the reason is the threat of an imminent attack on juncker poor, the holiest to his holiday. >> we had information that ther

and eu. let's bring in our guests today.paris we are joined by the president for institute for european security. from brussels, the center for russia, europe, and asian studies, and london, the managing director for europe at the eurasia group. if we could start by going over relatively recent old ground, france has said it has been stabbed in the back. what on earth were these allies thinking? were they not thinking at all? was this a deliberate ploy to keep france in the dark or apolitical snafu? guest: i think you're just will be able to speak to how the french perceives what happened. the reaction from paris is driven by four factors, trust and integrity between allies, and that clearly in this instance was not the case. friends does have substantive interest in the indo pacific region. this disagreement cuts across in a direct way. the political economy angle, the loss of the contract, i think that is not as important a factor driving is reaction. it is a feature macron needed to get out on the front foot and certainly

let us start with the commission president's speech at the eu parliament.his was a seat of the union address. how healthy is that union when we look and listen to what ursula was saying? >> reasonably healthy. there was a decent dose from her that was so congratulation. she thinks that despite all of the criticism earlier in the year, the eu actually handled the pandemic quite well. it has emerged from it more unified and in better shape. it emerged after the financial crisis. in particular, a lot of criticism over the handling of the agreement program -- procurement program earlier in the year. a cut up and has a good record now. -- it caught up and has a good record now. some eu members areell ahea of the.k. and the u.s.. she is quite pleased with herself. i think the speech itself possibly lacked any really huge ideas. i think there are two reasons for that. a one, she has laid out some of her big ideas. her climate change ideas, big on the digital tech giants. we also have a german election in 10 days time and she does not want to rock the boat. >> to t

so now no matter what happens we know that france and germany don't decide everything within the eu,course, but these two countries need to be on the same page for things to move forward and the scenarios on the table could show this could be on the page, guys >> charlotte, thanks for bringing us the overview of how the leaders are thinking about this >>> let's get back to jeff and annette. what's interesting about the campaign is the question of europe didn't feature that much into sunday. i just wonder if that tells you about how these future governments are thinking about things and their focus is primarily going to be on transitioning the domestic economy rather than looking outward. >> let's get into that straight away thank you for the question we have with us professor doctor d daniella schwartz, executive director for europe and asia nice to have you with us daniella the question from london was about germany's position now with the eu and europe more broadly. i guess we should focus on that, because it was a lot of attention to domestic issues and the domestic economy but do

if the uk were to keep on overwriting things unilaterally and upsetting the eu and like that the eu isde deal that was already negotiated. it's already started legal action against the uk for previously pushing back these deadlines of its own accord. that legal action is actually on hold. so the two sides can keep on talking. but the eu is certainly saying if you keep on doing something that goes against, a breach of what we all signed up to that we will be consequences for the uk. on the uk side of course the brexit minister, lord frost has been saying we believe that the disruption of problems have already been caused in northern ireland as a result of the protocol. have reached the threshold for overwriting it of our own accord. that's called triggering article 16. it still considered to be really the most drastic option. so the uk government isn't prepared to push that button just yet. they are going to keep on talking. it is still on the table.— still on the table. since i spoke to emma a few _ still on the table. since i spoke to emma a few minutes _ still on the table. since i s

we are looking further afield than the eu - example, the eu?eld than the eu but it takes the best part of 18 months to train up butchers so they can actually operate up and down the whole production line and so they know what they're doing and it's going to take us a couple of years to adjust to this. there is a belief in the industry that we still have some problems in terms of where the plants are because, in terms of mobility of labour. most of our plants are situated in rural areas where it's easy to get animals to, not people. it's notjust about pay, it's an issue of where these people are going to live near to these plants to get them to so there's some pretty worried —— wide—ranging issues that need addressing and of course these were all highlighted in the greater advisory —— migratory advisory issues. advisory -- migratory advisory issues. ., ~' , ., advisory -- migratory advisory issues. ., ,, , ., ., advisory -- migratory advisory issues. ., ,, ., , ., issues. thank you for being on the programme. _ issues. thank you for being on the

if you're willing to do trade with eu companies, you would have to do that in the eu.t would take away a big segment of the volume done in the central hub of london, and what that really means is extra costs, extra friction, so the idea of risk to financial stability is definitely a real one. and all the stuff we hear about brexit, it is clearly the key topic. alix: i can understand why enter bailey wants to push that back and extend that deadline, and the eu is probably going to want to play some kind of hardball. but from an structure perspective, could the eu take this on by june 2022? tom: they could. the cost will be on the clients and the people using this service, so right now effectively, if you've got all your transactions in one place, you can let them off each other. if you split between eu and london, it will become very expensive. so it is not technically difficult, but the sort of risk i'm from how does that interrupt the trillions of dollars of transactions. the best analogy i've heard is it is a bit like when you cross the state lines in the u.s., imagi

as you heard from the eu chief foreign policy earlier, this means that the eu needs to do something tonforce its autonomy, the european military as an alternative to nato. alix: i do not think i heard a lot from germany about this. i know that angela merkel and emmanuel macron are going to be speaking tonight in paris. what do we expect on that front? caroline: they are going to talk about afghanistan, but with the submarines, with the $66 billion contract, this is going to come on the table. historically, germany's military position has been weaker than france. abengoa macron does -- a manual macron --emmanuel macron does have the chance to become the leader, especially since angela merkel will be leaving. that leaves macron in the position to leave -- lead europe . and also because the french military is a stronger than the german one. the foreign minister reminded people this morning that france is the only eu nation present in the pacific with nearly 2 million french citizens in polynesia, new caledonia, and 7000 military personnel. france has something reply if manual macron -- em
