the more about this, you want to build the european union in russia, formalizing domestic legislature, we religious leisure of the europe union, and russia basically becoming defects so associated with the european union. instead of being an independent great power and independent goal of the month. i full a war even now, you know, even know when i competed like germany and talk about did desire be little dialogue with russia. what do they mean? they mean that ross issues on the my, in this partnership with china and people return european warm, it shouldn't become a repore of the european instead of becoming a dmitri, let me ask john here. so, i mean, i think to be set it out really very well, very smoothly there. so if that were all to happen, how is any of that to rush is benefit explained to me? how is watson? well, no. hey, let me like john, and i mean you meet people, laid it out here. so that's all part. that's all what the europeans want. the russians don't have a say in their own national interest. go ahead, john. well, i broadly very broadly agree with i agree with dimitry,

it's either or by the way, you know what we want the a cmo pena's for ration the european union with russia and europe union. right as well. be you which of ukraine to make a choice. the choice, the quote which made was for a claim to be, are all for the europe, if you william us there was, they were based on which basically all of this come from these, well, you know, you know, johnny, i'm glad that dimitry brought that up because all during that crisis b e u has its fingerprints all over it. it was in the room when, you know, covert sign, the agreement of a change of power. that would be elections called early and all that. and then, you know, all, during that time the russian said once, twice, 3 different times, we need to all 3 work together on this because you're the stabilizing ukraine and they were warned ok. and then after the coup, the e, you treated unicode, which like they had never met him. ok, the paper, the ink on the paper was still wet and the e u. cowardly just turned away. you know, what they sanctioned the wrong government. they should have sanctioned the qu regime,

to the european union go ahead thomas. well, russia has traditionally historically tried to divide and conquer in europe. it's not going to, it doesn't like unified europe. it's never like dignified europe. i'm a historian as much as a political sciences. and i know in the 1950s that nikita khrushchev on said to american leaders what the last thing we want is a strong europe. now, i would, i would disagree with my counterpart, thereby saying that you may be dysfunction on security issues. but it is a powerful economic lock, it does represent the interest of millions and in that economic power, it would seem to me that it would benefit russia to have better relations with the you. but i think for a lot of reasons, particularly president security concerns and his own power. he doesn't want that relations because the e u is also a normative power, which pushes back against the suppression of dissidence and russia, which is back against the forcible annexation of the crimea. so for those reasons, i think russia doesn't want ne

however, there is a new mechanism mechanism that the european union as tablets. and that is linking you funds to the rule of law. it will be in place later this year. and i think we can expect that the european commission could propose the freezing of payments from the youth budget to hungry, citing the risk of, of the risk due to a lack of democratic values in hungary. that would be a serious steph, alexander. so what these disagreements tell us about the state of unity in the u while i think they are showing us about the european union is once again facing new challenges. it was stablished, it was meant as a club of democracies as a counter model to dictatorships and also with terry and regimes else seeing out of the area on democratic tendencies within the club. and we just have to acknowledge that the european union seems not to be well equipped to need those new challenges. right. ultimately, they, with us, we're going to talk about a story that i want to ask you about. it's likely to be discussed among you leaders today, bella risk and blogger, rum on protoc

so that's because that was a divide in the european union. all was the possible meeting between russian president fucking fortune and the leaders of european union and actually york called i was saying of all human rights record. but i don't think that this is much of the noise because i think that the main thing is not just the idea go that i was listening to them with them. you a battleship in the to sort of what the solution for the ration i think that's probably weighs, influence that much of the position of the european union just being another thing . we hear here in moscow the same story which is going all more again. you just tried to get back to your human records. you just the position yourself with your attitude towards the plane. anything like that, but this is not when you actual this is not great if you in that well as even also hearing from my crown, he's pointing out these deepening divisions right between both sides of europe, the east and the west. is it perhaps then an opportunity from oscar? i think this is going to somewh

however, we also have to say that the situation is different right now within the european union, the explanation process. speed it up and the european commission is saying that don't, they don't think that happening. the, it's going to play a major role and be use rollouts because they don't accept enough vaccines to be produced and deliver to the european union even when they are approved. and alexandro beyond vaccines. what about the pandemic approach in the european union? in general, we're now seeing a grease is now going to allow international travelers. what about other european countries? well, bogart wants to do it to their more members states talking about that, but we have to straight that it's of course up to member states to decide how they proceed. what kind of tourist they want to enter the country. the u. a p and commission is calling an all member states to have a common approach, but it's still up to the member states to decide are brussels bureau chief alexander phenomena. thank you very much. now to some other headlines from around the world, schools in the and mar

barbara, what kind of european union would we have today? quite a different one because she really became the center of gravity in the you and as i said, she kept things together. so rather likely, greece really would have been catapulted out of the euro zone bricks. it might have become much more fractured at all being said, these diplomatic successes that she had that last not really so much credited to her because there was a lot of work behind the scenes going on. and they probably wouldn't have had the whole thing might have even been blown apart in the meantime. so it would have been a very different union. so she was really instrumental. she was sort of the center of gravity for 16 years. and i mean something, barbara, who will be glad to see uncle american go maybe some of the eastern europeans because she really had become the embodiment of liberal west and democracy as she stood up to donald trump and many admired her for it. and others thought that, no, we shouldn't, we should sort of be the friend of the united states. what ever

but the nature of the european union. so from the initial bridge to equality activists in the united states have found a new way of getting rich by telling white women how racist they are. they are organizing special dinners, where their hosts call up large sums of money for the privilege of being lectured. or he's dmitri polk, can tell us more on this episode of things crazy people do, white liberal women line up to pay $5000.00 for a dinner, where 2 women of color berate them on how races they are. sounds like a lot of fun. now i'm sure some of you are confused by the concept or pal, something like this came to be. so here it is. it's all organized by 2 people, regina jackson, who was black and say, you're a row who identifies as indian american. if you're wondering what kind of people, jackson and row are, well, here's a few quotes. we all know about white women's tears. it has caused the tears of 100, maybe even thousands of black people, and it's still a weapon. white people would rather die than tell the truth about

so far, the history could have made us a very unhappy, discontented, semi detached part of the european union. like other european countries we have no way out. what made it possible for us to leave, you might say we might've wanted to leave but we might not of been able too. what made us able to leave was simply the fact more bite luck than by judgment. we were not part of the year old. if you're part of the year old you can check out but you can't leave. a country like greece or italy which has suffered far more from european membership than we have simply cannot consider leaving because of the financial risk to the country as a whole. everybody with a savings in the bank might find their savings had been reduced by 50% overnight if they try to reintroduce their own currency. however whatever historical reasons for our leaving had we been in the year we would not have voted to leave. >> there's a lot there you described. want to get to the topic of sovereignty in a minute. but before i do that i want to follow up on your description of a britain in relation to the world. people here might s

and this could be supported by the european union under the umbrella united nations. this would be a way out which will guarantee security on the one side, but also needs acceptance by the new population. and if the african union is owning the process, this would be really a good progress. ok, so that that would be one potential approach there. in the meantime, i'd like to ask you about civilians and all of this because the u. n is estimating some 1300000 people are in need of humanitarian assistance in the, in the country. to what extent is improving the situation for the living people themselves? also on the agenda right now, the libyan population is really on the pressure. but on the other side, we have a split off the national bank. we have a split of the national patrol system, but on the other side the money is guaranteed. so there is a lot of burn kept both inside the country, which is also distributed to the families. nevertheless, we have a strong need for engagement. also of the united nations regarding the refugees, the migrants who sometimes as hostages in
