there have been many years of controversy since iceland signed the european economic area agreement, my position is therefore a controversial issue. this is very important for the people of iceland to decide whether we should join the european union or not. it seems to me that iceland has not joined the european union. this is a plus for us to have very close cooperation in europe, but personally, i think, looking at what is happening inside the european union. decision-making within the eu is not very democratic, and this is very important for iceland compared to how we make decisions based on direct democracy with the participation of the people. listen to the opinion of the citizens of the country, take into account his usual business for icelandic politicians to resolve serious issues. yes, and not very much they convene a popular referendum and the president, head of state and parliament are elected by universal direct and secret suffrage. all citizens over the age of 18 have had the right to vote since the 13th century. iceland was dependent first on the norwegian, and then the

there have been disputes for many years until now, as iceland signed agreement on the european economic areaion is therefore a controversial issue. this is very important for the people of iceland to decide whether we should join the european union or not. it seems to me that iceland has not joined the european union. this is a plus for us very close cooperation in europe, but personally, i think, looking at what is happening inside the european union, that the decision-making procedure within the european union is not very democratic, and this is very important for iceland. compared how we make decisions based on direct democracy with the participation of the people. listen to the opinion of the citizens of the country, take into account his usual business for icelandic politicians to resolve serious issues. you're not very they convene a popular referendum and the president the head of state and parliament are elected by universal direct and secret suffrage, all citizens over 18 years of age have the right to vote since the 13th century. iceland was dependent first on the norwegian, and th

they should affect all russians who have citizenship or a residence permit and in the european economic areaitzerland, as it should be in the course of the standard procedure. the initiative must be approved by all eu states, and there are 27 of them. so it is not excluded that changes to the western document are possible. the media writes that this is logically justified. the next step after the arrest. yachts, it should be noted here that russian businessmen who own large real estate in the eu have both dual citizenship and a residence permit. china is conducting stress tests of the economy in case of sanctions, the country's authorities write about this garden, allegedly began checking the economy. back in february, beijing was trying to assess the consequences of possible sanctions for cooperation with russia, the two countries have fairly close economic ties . the times reported that the chinese authorities were holding a closed meeting with bankers. just for the sanctions risks. i will add also america does not hesitate to openly threaten with sanctions. china for support relations wit

half of those nurses have come from overseas countries and it is those countries outside the european economic areas worrying, countries like ghana and nigeria who have critical workforce issues of their own and yet our government is heavily reliant on taking those nurses from those countries who have serious problems of their own. there is nothing ethical about that and whilst we are a country that welcomes those nurses with open arms, they are an incredible, they make incredible contributions to our profession and to the patients the care for and we welcome them with open arms, but the fact of the matter is our government needs to take responsibility for growing their own domestic workforce in the uk. right across the uk, in scotland, wales, northern ireland andindeedin scotland, wales, northern ireland and indeed in england where we have tens of thousands of vacancies. my original question, why are we struggling to recruit in the uk? the government says it is sustainable, the recruiting of people from overseas, why are we struggling to recruit so many here in the uk? we do not recruit so many he

unity because there was a lot of criticism about the fact that the european economic union did not take place, there is no single euro areae are no single authorities, well, except for the european commission of the european parliament, and here we see that these mechanisms are being created right before our eyes. europe is becoming stronger. and here is who acts as the communists are actually russians who work in the occupied territories with ukrainian grain, seize ukrainian oil from the zaporizhzhia region, for example, they just steal it, try to sell it to other countries, do they have a chance to sell stolen goods, well , again, it is very difficult to sell stolen goods in the civilized world, but it is there such super friends, russia, yes, they will surely be able to sell to syria . and yes, russia behaves like russian soldiers, what we see in the captured territories of marauders , russia is a marauder state, and in fact, the state is a marauder every soldier is also a marauder, the red terror near kiev. we saw all the signs of such terror, and about the drezversky and the attempt to arrange a famine in the south o

european union from the area of ​​​​golden mountains. i would say shiny, because gold glitters. this is a promise of economicor economic assistance from the european union to ukraine ursula von der leyen, head of the european commission. today she announced, firstly, that the eu countries are discussing the provision of 9 billion euros to ukraine by the end of this year. but more than that, ursula von der lein, said that the european union should lead precisely to lead the economic recovery of ukraine after the end of the military operation. today is the minister of foreign affairs. pavel klimkin. he said that it would cost about a trillion euros or dollars, vasily georgievich in general. is there money? well, of course, there is money, but the european union is not used to parting with money. let's remember that viktor fedorovich yanukovych asked for 15 billion euros to adapt the ukrainian economy to the standards of the european union and received a coup d'état in response, so there is money, but the european union spends it a little differently than e. some assume. uh, in ukraine they can imagine things,

economic reality, sanctions and violations of supply chains in this area. it hurts not at all tangentially, for example, with regard to seeds, depending on european producers,hout exaggeration , it is critical and something needs to be done about it, moreover, selection is an industry that does not give immediate results, years of continuous work are required, and this work has already begun. but what will happen to the harvest and prices now, we talked about this with farmers and the governor of the moscow region andrey sparrow. here, seedlings of imported selection a3 zenon in greenhouses near moscow seedlings of 20 varieties of cabbage, all dutch bushes grow the same, without exception. excellent this year, for the experiment, we planted domestic varieties. less, and subsequently. this will also affect the harvest, that is, uh, heads of cabbage, uh, will not be aligned in the early nineties. domestic vegetable selection. could not stand the competition of foreign pour money they didn’t, the industry withered means of protection against pests and diseases, too, their import supplies will continue, but at new prices. yes, the cost price will increase at th

become destined for the areas. increasing economic activity will also move from europe to other regions. this choice of economic suicide, of course, is an internal matter for european countries. we must start pragmatically and proceed with our own economic interests 1st. it's an apparent paradox, but the situation for europe is that it is heavily dependent on it's the price of gas. and the gas to get the blood flowing in the blood vessels. it is vital. therefore, there is not really any choice than to accept the conditions that are posed by russia, even if publicly they continue to condemn many countries like france, have no call, no gas or oil. europe has little energy resources. 40 percent of the gas imports in europe is coming from russia. so you cannot just strike that away. do you need to continue to purchase russian gas? whatever is the means used to do it, it is needed. if it's not done, then it means energy will be lacking missing, and you're a goes into deep economic recession. meanwhile, across the atlantic, as the cost of goods and services stores in the us, americans have been demanding answers for why inflation is so high for many of them, including so

become destined for the areas, increasing economic activity will also move from europe to of the regions. this choice of economic suicide, of course, is an internal matter for european countries. we must act pragmatically and proceed with our own economic interests fust. it's an apparent paradox, but the situation for europe is that it is heavily dependent on its supply of gas. and the gas is like the blood flowing in the blood vessels. it is vital, therefore, there is not really any choice than to accept the conditions that are posed by russia, even if publicly they continue to condemn many countries like france, have no call, no gas or oil. europe has a little energy resources, 40 percent of the gas imports in europe is coming from russia. so you cannot just strike that away. do you need to continue to purchase rush and gas? whatever is the means used to do it? it is needed, if it's not done, then it means energy will be lacking missing and you're goes into a deep economic recession. us senators are working to expand the authority of american law to handle international war crimes cases. washington say it's needed to respond to russia's operation in ukraine, but t

such as the european union and the second system is the united states, well, let's say it like this, and with its quad economic system, it is an asian system, but let's just look at this large area of ​​the euro, the asian, as in these two units, first. now, where to put ideas and similar to british initiatives, first of all, they can be treated as a transitional stage, that is, it is obvious that the presence of such two units as china and russia, they condition the existence of some kind of transitional stage for those who want to become part of either one of the okus or nato of the second security system in the eurasian space, the next thing to understand is that british policy is very technological. they has always been very technological and when the prime minister of great britain says such things, i immediately remember similar phrases that churchill expressed in his time, and then they were implemented 20-30 years later. well, the very idea of ​​the european union belongs to the church but europe had to reach up to 1992. since 1946, in order to accept the codified ointment of the agreement to form the european union, which economically provides the power of what is calle

european area has a hidden annual rate of 1.8%. the president understands it is hitting american families and creating anxiety and economic hardship. the second point is as the president is making inflation has top economic priority, it is important we recognize we can take on inflation from a position of relevant economic strength. that is true in -- if we look in the global context. to navigate this position from a strong recovery to more stable, resilient growth. the reason we have economic strength is because of the strength of our recovery. at the center of that is the labor market. we have the strongest labor market in modern history, which has not only created job opportunities with better pay for millions of americans, but it is also pulling more people into the labor force. we have seen the most rapid labor force participation rebound of any of the last four recoveries. we are also seeing that in terms of the strength of household as well. bankruptcy filings remain near pre-pandemic lows. eviction filings are 30% below their pre-pandemic levels. all of these are sources of economic strength from which we can now focus on b

some areas are now returning to normal, but fighting is escalating in the east. zelinski has told the world economic forum a divorce that ukraine needs $5000000000.00 a month to rebuild. the european union has pledged more than $10000000000.00 and financial aid to keep ukraine's economy going. it is the largest package of micro financial assistance ever conceived by the european union also to country. other countries, starting with our friends in the united states, are doing the utmost to it is an economic relief operation with no precedent in recent history or people, anyone capital are still confident about winning the war and even reclaiming the last land correspondence saying best robbie found a lot of optimism and keith, despite the death and destruction the war in ukraine has not gone as expected. keith was meant to falter russian invaders in a matter of days. 3 months after missiles shells and paratroopers began landing in and around the capital, ukraine is putting the spoils of war on display. morales and anger at russia are now so high. ukrainian said the only acceptable victory will be taking everything back occupied territories in the east even crimea. duck. yeah, you s

european union. it is suffered hugely economically. and now it has, you know, a restive, potentially arrested situation on its borders in this self declared area of transmission which borders ukraine. so one can imagine that gutierrez, his visit, is all to do with shoring up support. obviously in the wake of him having visited moscow a couple of weeks ago. and kevin, let's not forget, it was during his visit of care that we saw. those 2 missile strikes on what the russian defense ministry said was herb or an institution or a building that was involved in ukrainian weapons manufacture, but actually resulted in the death of a journalist and something that the united nations came out. and it was, he expressed a huge shock or after that and the tag as yet the united nations. so analysts will tell you, have been very weak in their response. certainly the security council being very weak in their response to this war. let's not forget that russia has a veto on that security council. so it's proving very difficult for the united nations security council to come out with any real meaningful solution church out to any, should've any peaceful resolution

you have this possible session area environment and they don't raise rates, what happens to inflation and all your european clients? andrea: it is a very tricky economicb but also in the u.s. on the one hand you have inflation, but inflation is generated by a specific segment of the economy, by energy. i'm not that sure that raising rates a lot will calm that down, because it is very concentrated and linked to offer and demand. the rest of the economy, however, we all agree it is slowing down and maybe tilting into recession. raising rates creates an issue. so it is very tricky to manage. yes, we're all concerned to finding the right balance. i think getting to a more neutral stance towards zero is probably ok. the moment you go up a lot from there, it depends a lot on what the rest of the economy is doing. shery: the unicredit ceo speaking exclusively to bloomberg front row. coming up next, the outlook for china showing signs of turning brighter. a previa thursday's session next. this is bloomberg. ♪ shery: here's a quick check of the latest business flash headlines. target plunged the most in 35 years after cutting profit forecast due to soaring inf
