president donald trump's decision to slap trade tariffs on european steel and aluminum europe warned that a tit for tat tariff attack could come later this month today the european union asked the world trade organization to get involved this is the closest thing that global trade has to a court of justice but it's wheels they turn slowly and there is no one foresman the european union's trade commissioner today refused to call this an all out trade war saying psychology and words matter a lot and she made her point by applying trumps winning campaign strategy to his tariff policy she said when they say america first we say europe united. they began this morning at six am central european time twenty five percent import tariffs on steel ten percent on aluminum the european reaction is clear. it is unfortunate because this is further weakening the transatlantic relations and it also increases the risk of severe turbulence is in the markets globally protectionism can never be a solution and this will hurt jobs here in the european union but also in the u.s. the e.u. has launched an offi

to be more you have to organize to game and the game was not organized the game was only for european europe and voice for south america and then to go. and then we had to have a look on the laws of the game how are the laws of the game and then the laws they have to to to be adopted. adapted. to the development of the game the game became faster and then we have realized after the world cup in italy . ninety million on it area no one cares very boring world cup. defendants yeah defending the back pass to the goalkeeper. and i knew had referees at the line they wouldn't participate if the differences in the center of both the secretary general and the navy. installed a so-called fee for two thousand group of specialist to change the way how does that work yeah i remember you put a group together to make football more combative and more exciting how did that group work exactly what if they did it in turkey because everybody has realised the coaches the players the media even the referees and realize that they were wrong to have referees at the line because to be a linesman or to be a referee

news of a looming tariff of twenty five percent on car imports to create the perfect storm now european europe's carmakers have been trying to head off these tariffs by saying they already have a large man many of them already have large manufacturing facilities in the u.s. and as such already create thousands of jobs but we have a situation where the white house isn't really contented with having foreign carmakers simply assemble cars that within a year on u.s. soil rather they want the content of those called those cars to be american made as well and such as secure more jobs but fun the fact that it's american carmakers don't also sold they rely on american american parts as well in fact only tesla is one hundred percent made such this is a regime that could backfire as well on american carmakers exactly and you know i can see you're in red today which paints the picture for us on the markets what about politically though the fact trumps pull out came in a tweet was no surprise for us but depressing for the german chancellor i've heard who has proved otherwise to be an effective no nonsense n

european union they they won't be making any radical turns so they will continue with the course european europe has chosen and that is sanctions but the austrian prime minister said that these are tough times we live and he's a tense times and austria has taken upon itself to diffuse this tension between europe and between russia he said that peace in europe is impossible without russia and that russia ees a part of a part of europe and the problems various international problems problems in the european union in russia will only be resolved when the two sides talk but with regards to sanctions we have heard a number of comments from other european officials. that we will support opening up to russia which has consolidated. which has consolidated its international role in various political crises in recent years we will push for review the sanction system starting with those that risk punishing the russian civil society. as i said earlier we shouldn't expect sanctions to be lifted overnight or indeed in the foreseeable future but aside from economic reasons for the lifting of sanctions there ar

economy so actually the strong central europe is the interest of the european union because a strong best central europe can contribute to european union being stronger as well that's why we we do. reject all kinds of these kinds of accusations you know against us on political basis that's the bottom line is e.u. is in crisis right now so there is the eastern countries that want more independence in terms of making decisions there is the center brussels france and germany who want tighter integration and maybe a two speed to europe it is absolutely clear that you cannot go on living in the shape that it's in right now something needs to change we don't really know what where do you see hungary in the sunni led do you feel like you'll be one of those like faster integrating countries or do you feel like you would want to be in the second part of the country as well have like. more decisions to themselves but you know they won't be as integrated as france and germany well if you mean that european union is faced with historic challenges you are right and the only

ideological drive here to inject new populations into europe in order to change the structure of those populations and that is part of the european dream it's part of the post national europe but just goes very very. that's why when europe is not the how would that make europe better i don't get it ok. i travel through europe all the time i don't see it's improving i see it's declining rapidly go ahead finish up john peter peter the bolshevik revolution didn't make russia better but that didn't mean that people didn't believe in it they believed in it because it's an ideology it's a post national ideology which these people want to implement by replacing the population in their crazy minds that's what they're doing ok we're all in it you know italy has been hit very hard by this immigration crisis we can use that word i mean shouldn't italy on its own be able to decide what happens with inside its borders i mean why is it waiting for merkel ways and waiting for brussels why is it waiting for this summit that's going to happen in the weekend i mean italy's a sovereign country care it should take care of its people first particular

awaited compromise on tackling the migrant crisis under pressure from italy and some central european countries europe's powerhouse its friends on germany have agreed to tougher regulations artie's paulus leo breaks down the meetings outcomes. well after a night of long and terse discussions european leaders reached a compromise agreement but the fact of the matter is that there are some major changes that are now going to be implemented these include amongst others that migrants can no longer choose in which country they will live they will also be migrant centers that will be established in non european countries in this respect more support will be given to mediterranean countries that are also affected by the whole migrant crisis now the relocation of migrants across the european union will be done on a voluntary basis and at the same time the dublin agreement will be thoroughly reformed this is an agreement that places the responsibility on the country in which the migrants arrived in europe it places the responsibility on that country and as i say this will be reformed so that what will happen is

grants so perhaps the solution and the natural way of europe to do is to collapse and to point out that there is no solution possible between european countries of europe and this is the reason for which read a lot of commentators consider that before the immigration crisis there is a political crisis in europe huge to this impulse ability to find a common solution between the left wing and the right wing of the countries and. for the countries close to do research are ok eric we've run out of time lots of serious issues to for the european union to sort out to do with the my current crisis their political analyst eric vast thank you. over eighteen months on from the syrian army's liberation of aleppo to life in the cities gradually improving for its residents and some of the scars of war are beginning to fade locals have been telling us about the transformation they are witnessing and their hopes for the future. what is different is safety when we walk in here we are safe secure happy so safe and back again. that's the western media i think they're being unfair to us because they still show bare for the children in the streets the

stay night we will see how things play out because there are some people in europe there are some countries there is the european commission and their political forces who are now linking arms to save merck medical and save her job because they know that the sort of. unrest and complete chaos that europe would be thrown into should she sort of have to step down is something that the european union at the moment can't really stomach and they can't really deal with that too much is going on in the world is so countries are getting ready to make compromises and of course we know that there are a few who put up resistance and they will find clever solutions and for instance the talk i'm talking about migrant centers outside of the e.u. territory that is something that they are preparing and it will happen there is this clear since growing and something that was all of us not known possible non practical but they will make it happen and some countries are ready and talk as possible host albania for instance muscle and so we will see a strong push in that direction barker at the end of the mini summit this weekend and

eu -- the european union, europe as a whole and the united states we are friends. we are allies. we can achieve fantastic things if we work together. we have created the international framework and international organizations, and we want to work with the u.s. there. but now if the u.s. is breaking international rules and as i said, it's not only eu who thinks that, we have to take action. and i'm not doing this way happy smile, but this has to be the consequences. you cannot act like this and to hide pure protectionism behind an article referring to national security and accuse europe for being a threat to national security. it does not make sense. we have to is have consequences. >> certainly you were allies for many, many, many decades. cecilia malmstrom, european trade commissioner, thank you so much for joining us. >>> and, of course, now we're going to turn to the view from america. and we're going to talk to the conservative's conservative, who thinks these tariffs are a disaster. grover norquist says that this move is like trying to perform a kidney transplant with a base

countries are members of the european union and the view will be members of the european union even more than that this century europe in the region is currently the growth of the european union our growth rate is much higher than the european the average everybody speaks about the german french cooperation when it comes to the issue of european competitiveness and bob if you look at the figures you see that the trade between germany and the countries is fifty five percent higher than the trade annually between germany and france which shows that the economy corporation between germany and sense or europe is extremely strong at central europe became kind of a backyard for the german industry which has all these been and which will always be i guess the bone of the european economy so actually the strong central europe is the interest of the. the european union because a strong central euro can contribute to european union being stronger as well that's why we we reject all kinds of these kinds of accusations you know against us on political basis that's the bottom line is the crisis right now so there is the eastern c

me that roland you want to create the united states of europe and everything to date shows that's not what people want no one ever asked the europeans if they ever wanted that route let me go to you are not a very important issue there isn't being brought up here and this applies to the united states and europe is that there are criminal gangs making a fortune off of this scam ok bringing people in their n.g.o.s you know they do gooders but no they're blinded by ideology they're there pat they're ideologically possessed they have a hatred for their own culture a hatred for europe they want to just wipe it away and fill it up with foreign alien people i'm sorry to sound so politically incorrect but that is true particularly the criminal. yang's in and south of the mexican south of in the mexican border and all through the mediterranean you have a lot of people preying on some very weak people and i'd like to point out also that it's often forgotten the people that do want to immigrate to the united states and to europe they should stay in their own country and build their own country ok and set of having the west have to subsidize th

central european countries europe's powerhouses france and germany have agreed to tougher regulations. after nine hours of talks and work a deal has been reached and it is good news for france it is the fruits of combined work and its european cooperation that one as opposed to a number one national decision that would be neither efficient nor lasting. would be numbers will make sure all secondary migration is brought under control and the order is restored in this respect didn't we must stick to the rules and no was silencing can have the right to choose which e.u. state they will stay a. very lengthy discussions but then she discusses on the important subject of migration from the contrapositive conclusions and those of the round about the united kingdom has been encouraging for some time which is taking more action upstream in countries of origin so that we can ensure that people aren't having to make now and making these very dangerous journeys often traveling many miles often at the hands of the people smugglers and making the dangerous trips across the mediterranean where we sti

european commission that is this ideal for stablish in a new pm. it's this means a sort of the color of fundamental rights for workers and and for their working conditions in europe but also to be called the social protection benefits all d.c.'s at the core of the discussion at the moment in the european union and of course in our priorities to transform these the carload of principles into reality and for doing that we need first of all european legislation to be put in place because fortunately there is still the possibility of having european little ruling labor markets and working conditions and making sure that we can have a level playing field preventing social dumping to happen and also downward spiral wages and working conditions to happen this is really what we have to do to create a better future for our work is seeing europe and mr general secretary before we run out of time i certainly want to get your take on italy on your home country recently the italian finance minister is said that the e.u. is no plans to leave the euro which has shot the markets up in recent days pretty good thing. what's your view about how the future will go with the new itali

then what should the european central banks role be why is it going so wrong in europe it you know right now to print it two point four billion trillion a euro to the public which is program to safe the european union and of european currency and the southern part of europe and this is not going to last because you can't create you can salute and you can save. the economies in the southern part of a few up and you can print your self out of the crisis you can save them what should we do what we definitely have to cut that you know we have to give greece and italy we have to give them have to tell them ok we cut the debts you know at the most you don't have to exactly executive didn't have a paper we're not paying it back in in prosperous times you know right now we pay low interest rates but even in this boom times germany is not paying bed back one single cent of debts you reckon with never going to get that money back from the stimulus never see it again and a packet to solve. had one billion euro the european and the chairman bundesbank and lend one billion euro to the southern parts

a more responsible and more supportive europe is emerging from this european council italy is not left alone any more. but in reality the deal getting all this praise is a carefully but vaguely worded one just like so many other agreements struck by the bloc in the past but this one manages to satisfy a diverse range of views so just exactly how was it reached one challenge was to satisfy it to me who on thursday blocked all joint decisions prior to the summit in an effort to appease tensions the member states decided to stay and rescued migrants on a new territory to so-called control centers across the bloc but and this was only to appease central european countries like the czech republic and hungary those locations are still to be decided and can only happen in countries who volunteer to have them not surprising they're not many volunteers many leaders again pushed for responsibility to fall on first arrival countries who already have enough migrants same toure's all sides under the dublin regulation refugees have to buy in the first european country where they are right we are sti

awaited compromise on tackling the migrant crisis under pressure from italy and some central european countries europe's powerhouses france and germany have agreed to tougher regulations some details on this now across live to polling places now joining us here on the program can you tell us more about what the leaders have agreed to so far. when as you say it was a night of long talks the union leaders agreeing to a compromise agreement on the whole issue of migration as you mentioned the leaders of europe's two powerhouses namely fonts and germany were visibly relieved at around four thirty. this morning when this final compromise agreement came forward and they are trying to put forward a face of victory for european unity but the fact of the matter is that a number of reassurances had to be tacked onto the original text for everybody to come on board we know now that the statement that has been adopted says that those countries will not be forced to take in new migrants and that this will be done on a voluntary basis at the same time migrant centers will be set up in non european union countries and

first of all, here's our guide to the latest from europe in just 60 seconds. the europeand the idea of a diplomatic boycott of the world cup into row z, calling instead for the eu to simply condemn human rights violations in russia. angela merkel may be facing a coalition crisis after clashing with her interior minister over plans to turn away asylum seekers at the german border. a press conference to announce the policy was abruptly called off when it emerged mrs merkel had blocked the plans. the dutch prime minister, mark rutte, told meps that the eu should rein in its spending once the uk heads through the exits. it's only logical that the budget should shrink after brexit. and there was more belt tightening as the european parliament agreed to cut the number of meps after brexit. and critics of the so—called brussels gravy train had a headline writing field day when, yes, you guessed it, it broke down taking officials to strasbourg, leaving them stranded for hours with only a flock of sheep for company. well, let's pick up on brexit, and who better to help us than the

central european countries europe's powerhouses france and germany have agreed to tougher regulations let's get details on this now i'm joined live by all these correspondent paula morning paula can you tell us more about what the leaders have agreed to so far. well as you say there was almost ten hours of tense and elaborate discussions and tensions that took place throughout the course of the night the has finally being some kind of breakthrough but that certainly is a compromise agreement that we are seeing that main powerhouses namely germany and france visibly relieved. after nine hours of talks and work a deal has been reached and it is good news for france it is the fruits of combined work and its european cooperation one as opposed to a number one national decision that will be neither efficient more lasting. good numbers will make sure all secondary migration is vote under control and the order is restored in this respect we must stick to the law and no was silencing in have the right to choose which each state will be. strict now european leaders are trying to show this as a

security grounds against its allies well first of all i guess it unites europe the kind of meeting in canada will bring japan canada and european union much much closer together as you have seen troubles pretty much isolate it and we have to see how the issue of steel and aluminum will be dealt with because europe will take us to the whole and i guess in view of the fact that fifty percent of the overcapacity globally comes out of china in steel and aluminum by the way also hurting rosol and russian industries how that is be dealt with so trump decided to a safeguard one hundred forty thousand jobs and challenge a couple of millions in the car industry i'm not sure this was an economics one hoof either so do you think trump well even care if he's isolated by his here appeal in france. well it seems like he takes credit takes strength out of this given his constituency that he's working around his former allies but i guess that you know he's ruling with the system this the congress there's other bodies of the government and there are still lots of connections on the working level trying to see how we can actually sort of call on

way that my discourse is not specific to me and to us it's and t's a weakness of europe but i think it's not only the european union that is suffering from kind of treatment by the united states i think there are lots of grievances in russia there are also grievances in china and as you mentioned before europe was able to put forth a blocking law it also did that in concert with other countries for example ninety five there was also the u.k. mexico canada that passed similar legislation what are the chances of putting together such a call listen at this point of time not just the european unity but the european union joining forces with other countries who may be unhappy about the american practices. well. saul's i'm on you know i'm not i'm not in charge at the moment so i absolutely don't have going for i don't know what is going on in the in the corridors of the european council so i don't think we have the end of the story. clearly they have been meetings between the ministers they've been talking to the iranian they've been talking to russians i'm sure by then my call discuss it with president putin in si

it just took it to finance this budget by an additional tax what kind of money is the europe average european looking at. oil is i mean the idea to raise particular money via special tax particularly a financial transaction tax that is often mentioned in this in this regard is in my opinion of a lesser importance. the whole process will be such that the money in the end will come from the same very same taxpayers and it will be made sure that this tax base will not get too large after it has been created for that reason i think the tax issue is of lesser importance than the the sheer sign that we are embarking on a reform process which is actually over to you. thank you very much um peter grant an economist and professor of full financial markets frankfurt university joining us from frankfurt. the refugee crisis is without doubt the most contentious problem in european politics at the moment it's putting previously unknown strain on germany's coalition government so the report on broader migration trends published today by the organization for economic co-operation and development comes right

what withing did the european union in europe more in general were not able to address this emergency in the proper way international rules were not respected few countries including he told me my own country were completely left alone you know addressing this emergency and inserting a rescue people at sea and trying to avoid an immense a strategy to a tragedy to happen but there was no solidarity coming from the large majority of member states of the european union the didn't give an end at all to eataly greece but also to some other countries like germany and sweden the tried to welcome some of these refugees and to integrate them into society in the labor market of those countries so four countries along against the other twenty four were completely. burning on their shoulders i mean that that would burden of this of this situation of this emergency and frankly speaking the situation is not going to improve at all because there is no agreement between the different member states despite of the efforts of the day european commission put in place in the past i mean to try to convince

italy has seen the country's government toughen its stance on an issue which has defied the european union. in europe the times are over when france and germany decided refugee policy when they told european italy what they had to pay and which migrants they had to take in. celgene is tough talk has struck a chord with austria he met with his austrian counterpart in rome ahead of an emergency mini summit being held in brussels on sunday for in stark contrast to vienna and rome strong anti immigrant policy french president. has joined german chancellor angela merkel's call for other e.u. countries to take their fair share of migrants. that's. the topic which currently concerns us all is migration. we see it as a common challenge the first have to make sure that the cause behind migration is eliminated was the one for me but soon as i think. they appear to have won at least on saturday macau welcomed spain's new prime minister pedro sanchez to paris the week of to madrid so can almost six hundred thirty migrants also turned away by rome michael pointed a firm finger at e.u. states who refused to play b

europe. most european countries now have growing populist countries, austria, italy, some of them are in government. populists, people who wail against the elites in the name of the people, may also be seen in economic nationalist abroad, the us is beginning to raise tariffs against us. if you take the european union and you see the kind of tariff they charge, and that is called not fair trade. i want fair trade, i like free trade, ata minimum i want fair trade. european voters might want economic nationalists of their own to reply in kind. the old world is under strain. the rules—based international order has a growing list of enemies. movements of the left and the right wants to cut the free movement of goods, capital and people. studio: earlier i spoke to five star movement mp manlio di stefa no. i asked him why italian voters decided to put his party and lega into government. people understood that we can do this, the reason they understood this is since the very beginning, we did everything we promised during the campaigns. so, now, when we brought to the italian people our programme, made of

my question is, does european sovereignty equate to europe -- to greater european protectionism, especially against china? ambassador araud: a number of aestions which are raised in direct way by this administration, there is one about the europeans taking care of themselves. and it is true. look at someen you of the problems we are facing in terms of migration, it is to europe to handle that. so that is what the message of the president had been. also, to say that we have to act by ourselves. it is not possible anymore to rush to washington dc whenever there is a problem. that was the case in previous it decades. what does european sovereignty mean? does it mean protectionism? the european union is the most open market in the world. it is the largest market in the world and one of the most open markets in the world. thatally do look protectionism leads to nowhere. two things. the first is the idea of fair trade. i said in the beginning that our are styled to free-trade agreements. we negotiated a free trade agreement with canada. they are the closest society, relationshipountry that europe
