britain is a member of the european union. the british people are going to decide if we remain in the european union. we want a better deal for europe so they create more jobs and that britain, which is not in the euro and is not part of the common borders arrangements, is not discriminated against. the good news is, speaking today, the european union got back to us and proposed a number of things we put on the table as a way forward. there is still lots of negotiation to be done. we are going to be ready to fight for the best national interests in the referendum. charlie: the outcome will be what? george: let's have the negotiation first. i think if we get a good deal and recommend that to the british people, they will want to remain in the european union. but we have to have a deal that works for britain. charlie: here is a piece in the "wall street journal." how britain got its mojo back. there is a case that you have to have a strong economy to have a strong government that can pull the national security responsibilities a

>> the european union is a divided group at the very best of times. we've seen it struggle to resolve europe wide crisis, the financial crisis, the euro crisis, as well, now the refugee crisis. this grouping of 28 countries simply cannot find a sensible middle ground upon which to agree. they've talked about mandatory quotas. some countries have openly rejected that idea, poland and hungary among them. other countries refuse to take on the numbers that have been suggested. there is a deep problem at the heart of the european union over this crisis and it is far from resolved now. one of the immediate implications may well be the end of the so-called schengen zone, the open borderless zone that came so much to define the european union. that looks like it may be on its way out. >> nearly all world leaders agree the war on syria must end before anything can change. has the refugee debate galvanized international action towards a solution or the paris attacks or russian involvement in syria more of a driving factor than the humanitarian crisis we're seei

threatens to leave the european union if britain can't put limits on migrants coming into its country. >> our guest told us there has to be a unified effort to bring an end to the world. i think once there is real political will to solve the crisis, then the syrian opposition can unite. the opposition has been divided and fragmented over the course of the conduct because the international community has made broken promises, and has backed different sides. as soon as that changes, the opposition will come together in order to negotiate a peaceful transition. >> it has to include the protection of civilians. they are not going to be able to do that while they're fending airstrikes from assad and russia. in terms of airstrikes, i think that's probably how most syrians feel. in terms of the refugee crisis, i think everyone in the world has to shoulder the burden. they have to welcome syrians with open arms, because they have been through so much, but in order for the refugee crisis to be addressed, the war in syria has to end. we survey refugees that have left syria. most want to go home.

first of all, regarding the speculation on the european union and ukraine sanctions, i understand theconcern but today it was indicated that the sanctions were rolled over for another six months. in june or july it may come up again. there was a syndication that you said italy is bubbling on it. and if one looks at the russian involvement in ukraine and syria, then one could even have the possibility that russian involvement in syria with being less positively, they would have less bandwidth to make trouble in ukraine. i don't think that you can feasibly increase the commitment at the same time that they are looking to reverse what they have committed to in ukraine. that is my comment and by the way on the refugee question i think also it is a bit far-fetched, and i've heard also i heard also some conspiracy theories almost about how turkey opened up its borders to allow the flow of refugees in fact if one looks at the situation it was an objective factor that they have been completely overwhelmed and now the welcoming mat is wearing thin and they were desperate looking forward if the

year with many, many migrants and refugees coming across borders to try to get access to the european union then on the other side of countries who say there shouldn't be border guards like that and say actually the better solutions need to be found and give you a sense of perspective how difficult it has been this is the brussels newspaper and the 28 means the european union countries hunting, searching for an unfindable solidarity and saying in effect there will be no agreement and further down it welcomes, to retain or detain the migrants and that to a certain extent cuts to the chase here and gives you a perspective there are some governments who say so many migrants have come, that something has to be done, a block has to be put in and others say no that cannot happen under existing eu treaties and so difficult to find a solution that everybody will accept. >> dominick this raises the question what happens now and where do we go from here? >> well, in the document that emerged last night or early hours of the morning they say they call for the council should adopt a position on the eur

>> i am the european union's senior fellow at brookings.but that speculation all of the ukraine sanctions. i understand the concern that sanctions were rolled over for another six months. so it may come up again somebody said day are wobbling and analytically if you look at the russian involvement bin is that a less than an atom possibilities with less bandwidth? and of the chicken peaceably increase their commitment but that is my comment in by the way with the refugee question i have heard some conspiracy theories by design but they'll look at the refugee situation it is the objective factor. in if the turks did look the other way it was the set of circumstances to put pressure with those negotiations with the islamic state group in the in fact, to have that iraqi representative of the panel because as we have racket -- recognized with one regionalize conflict it is difficult to resolve this issue with syria in isolation. with the russian attention and motivation and what are those russian intentions and it was mission from the un militar

serious challenges for europe and my country since the second war since the inception of the european union. it's an epic movement of people almost biblical proportions and it's the first digital movement of history so he had i have a new phenomena. my own country took in a million this year until a couple of days ago we received 10,000 a day to show you the portion and comparison of the discussion that revolt around taking 10,000 in the time span of a year and a half so we got the 10,000 army dalia basis and now it's subsided a little bit but the challenge is huge. we decided to live up to our humanitarian standards through to keep that our liberal aside from that we received in the regime and we have a no refusal policy for asylum seekers but there are huge challenges and backlashes and political problems, there are practical problems. the infrastructure is overwhelmed and this is what you refer you refer to, political fault lines. there are insurgents of xena topic elements driven by fear who don't see the opportunities but rather risks. you referred to the greek crisis and we went throu

having come to that, we have of course from the european union side been in constant contact with our american counterparts in discussing what they can do to address this global crisis. and we have also come to the conclusion that it's probably not going to happen that the numbers of refugees that the u.s. will take and will increase, at least not in the near future, and at the pace that have been described here, it will not make any difference in the short term at least. but we also see that it's not going that fast in providing other types of support. because, for example, the balkans are suffering a lot under the influx of refugees, and they have quite weak structures. and that the u.s. could be really crucial in helping out with good contacts we see that the united states has with the balkans. also the same thing in turkey, jordan, lebanon, et cetera. could you comment a bit on what the u.s. is doing in those areas of what you would like to see more? >> well, thanks for the question. as i tried to indicate what the u.s. is doing is too little at every level and in every dimension.

as the european union, we will cut emissions by at least 40%.olluters should show globalibility to keep warming limited to two degrees. even that is already as concession. there is no contradiction between economic growth and being green. levels fell by 56%. growth increased by 30%. anybody can do it. we need to guarantee that climate change commitments are fully respected. transparency. we must build incentives into implementer decisions. regular review of our targets will also help in responding to changes in targets. fromcial support developing countries. the european union and its members are major providers of climate financing. about 14.5 billion euros every year. quality, not just quantity. agreement will increase our security. fuels makesn fossil us vulnerable from all points of view. social security, human security. demandss our energy finance terrorist networks. that is unacceptable. the time has come to make global decisions. we are all participating here. we must approve a universally binding agreement in paris.

they brought on the european union with them. they are trying to rewrite the legal rules. want to clarify a big news headline that came out yesterday, there is the high ambition group that was kept under wraps, secret for six months. they unveiled themselves in the last few days. over 100 of the world's countries, led by the united states. >> smoke and mirrors. high ambition alliance of countries who have got no ambition. the united states, which is 1/5 fit of its fair share, the european union doing 1/5 of its fair share. how they can call themselves high emission alliance, what this really is is about trying to shift lame. if we go back to copenhagen, we knew the blame then was on india. now it is on india -- china. now the blame is on china. amy: so on the issue of who is in the coalition and who is not, china and india are not in this coalition? >> no. what the united states has managed to do -- look, this is geopolitics. we're talking about one of the must-have for countries in the world. it is managed to get people to sign up to a paper agreement. it doesn't mean any

more importantly, the change in the direction for the european union itself away from the concept of losing union and towards a looser association of sovereign states. that is clearly not going to happen. we all have to make up our own minds in the next few months. for me, it is clear the direction i think we should take as a country. >> the new star wars movie has smashed ticket sales records in north america. the seventh film in the star wars franchise collected $238 million during the weekend theing the top -- topping 208 million dollars taken in june by jurassic world. further $279 million was brought in from overseas, and that was without china. we will be speaking to bob iger at 1:00 p.m. london time here on bloomberg tv. story onead in that the terminal that there are at least come up or there could be five further star wars films already in the mix. amazing. no escape. me to see.e for i have not seen a single one yet. anna: you have some work to do. the pacifick at index at the moment, it is pretty flat. that is a benchmark for asia. you have to deal with the .ational benchmar

more refugees than the regime already has the point being to put a good deal of pressure on the european union's that had a great deal of difficulty coping with 800,000 refugees are less than a million imagine what it would do to the tenure of the european politics if they had to deal with 3 million or 4 million i don't have any evidence again as i say the russian government that bonaire putin was trying to exacerbate and pushed to the right european politics but i wouldn't put it past one of the reasons is in the three main strategic rationales for the russian motives i also see a setting that the kind of scaled motives in ukraine so the western ideas and institutions can't get closer to moscow and the second would be to replace the government which is not to the liking of vladimir putin but the third stretch goal that is too dangerous to attempt would be to have some little green men in the baltic state and watch what would happen in the american european and transatlantic response if the united states and its allies failed to respond in a vigorous way. without actually meeting it on the field

and i'm not sure that the european union will fulfil its side of the bargain either.y people arriving in lesbos face real frustration because looks like it's been severed. bulgaria is blocked and the only other possible available by land is albania. that nation is mountainous, freezing in winter, and overall much more perilous than the other balkan nations. but the traffickers are now said to be considering albania as the next option, well aware that ill equipped, vulnerable people could die there. but having survived the game of russian roulette that is the sea crossing from turkey, the refugees have become used to making calculated risks. the hope of finding safe haven and relative prosperity keeps driving this historic movement of humanity. for the pbs newshour, i'm malcolm brabant in lesbos. >> ifill: next, olive oil is a staple in many of america's kitchens, and much of it is produced in italy. but a mysterious infection is now threatening that industry, and a way of life. jeffrey brown recently traveled to the olive groves of southern italy. >> brown: it's the h

european union has few internal border checkpoints, terrorist can easily exploit. citizen can fly to spain and journey to the united states and tireless unprotected. these intelligence failures need to stop. the bill that we overwhelmingly passed allows the department of homeland security to suspend the country from the visa-waiver program. these ideas are simply common sense. but they go a long way towards keeping us safe. to defeat isis we have to be in it for the long haul. house republicans are making progress and the people of our country deserve nothing less. we come into this house and there is so much to do. there is no time to think or reflect. soil are here digging up because we are about to plant a garden. >> i will not be satisfied until every single veteran and military spouse who once a job as one. >> at the end of the day my most important title is still mom in chief. >> in 2008, michelle obama became the first african-american first lady when her husband was elected as our 44th president. her focus has been on current social issues such as poverty,

they will need real decisions by all 28 members of the european union.ans: in the wee hours of brussels, the meeting ended at midnight, they cannot see the pathway forward. but it does not mean it is not there. i am somewhat taken aback by all the positive sort of ides coming out of the meeting, even though it is hard to point to any actual, tangible progress. listen to what donald had to say about the challenges, and his expectations heading into the meeting. before the meeting, i do not expect drama. but i did believe that tonight was a make or break moment. hans: a lot of them suggesting that it is possible to inch towards a progress. angela merkel seem to roll out a change before the referendum. she did hit there could be changes after that. and going into it, you might have some side bar agreement read not sure how that will work out. that will be for the lawyers. but in general, everyone marshaling forces. they have another day of the summit today. and they will potentially have a bigger fight in february. manus: it is that fight in february people

david cameron says his bid to change written's relationship with the european union is gathering momentum. fellow e.u. leaders signaled they are willing to find compromises on his demands for welfare. hans, was anything really accomplished? david cameron is trying to spin it positively and then you have someone saying we're far away from agreement. think when you take this general positive mood, the only real thing i can see that was accomplished as they set expectations extraordinarily high for february. they need to come up with some sort of diplomatic language, some finesse to bridge some far differences because it was clear last night there was not any movement from other european leaders on one of the key demands from david cameron and that is a four year wait period before e.u. migrants get benefits inside the u.k. coming out of the meeting, mr. meron mentioned other things here looking for will be difficult but he did strike and optimistic note. good minister cameron: the news is that there is a pathway to an agreement. and i'm confident of that after the discussion we had, but the

the european union caught a deal with turkey for $3 billion. in aid for joining the european union. in exchange for turkey sealing its borders to refugees and migrants. isn't that a deal? isn't that deal a threat to russian interests? >> because of the energy pipeline going through turkey, adhand back. the russians have been doing this. they have been pushing the line and crossing over into turkish air space. what i would say is that the united states can play more of an influential role you have to be able -- >> who are we fighting? we are fighting isis. >> yeah but they've got other agendas they are also accomplishing. >> no confrontation between america and russia because nothing in syria justifies a >> if you say to erdogan do not go over there and cross the line. but you say to vladimir putin do not cross into turkish air space. >> if you shoot down another russian plane, goodbye and good luck. you're on your own. >>> what impack will it have -- impact will it have on isis? will it be a, catastrophic. or d, negligentable. >> i'm going to see negligible. that they are now intere

we may see the european union, part as a political construct. the economic union will persist but it could come apart as it is equal construct because of the refugee issue. you are seeing the intense disagreements among european states. they're not going to resolve these matters by themselves. only a global leader can start a process of treating a global crisis as a global crisis involving all stakeholders in every country on earth is a stakeholder in this, but it isn't going to happen without sustained focus u.s. leadership. right now the administration is defending the policy of accepting 10,000. i just checked and in the first two months of the current fiscal year, october and november, we had resettled an overwhelming 437 syrian refugees. we are nowhere near a trajectory to even meet that rather sad goal of 10,000. you look at what the canadians just did. a much smaller population but with the prime minister who was prepared to stand up and say 30,000 in to be at the airport to meet the first families coming in. i wish we could we could see
