france, germany, everyone has a huge trade imbalance with chinalj france, germany, everyone has a hugessue trade imbalance with china. i think the issue in terms of fairness is whether there is reciprocity for access to markets and investments and companies to operate. in general terms countries like the united kingdom or the us or most eu countries are fairly open to chinese companies and investments. china is much more restrictive in terms of how companies can operate in china. and i think that is the issue that needs to be addressed. theresa may seems to be adopting something of a donald trump approach to relations with china which is one that is very transactional, she will say to the chinese that the uk is natural partner in the belt and road expansion even if it should meet international standards and they would say ok we will consider opening markets and investing in uk. is that the size of it? i think there is more to it. the belt and road initiative is fairly complicated, there is the issue of whether it is transparent and whether it is transparent and whether it is going to b

completely wrong when she ran off to donald trump's side and did not take the careful approach of france and germanyas been to france and germany. he has said hello to angela merkel and emmanuel macron. there were no big demonstrations there. he seemed to be welcomed. when he first met angela merkel he refused to shake her hand and that was terrible. that was a terrible moment. it is not as if he has been on this behaviour. that the troops have gone smoothly because they took the practical view that you need to work with the united states. beading onto the sunday times. i feel i have united states. beading onto the sunday times. ifeel i have read this headline before. jeremy corbyn allies plot to oust labour mps. is that the new story, old story? this is something a lot of people suspect is something a lot of people suspect is happening within labour although we do not act fully know. last week there were crucial changes within labour when the national executive committee, the all ruling body, was taken committee, the all ruling body, was ta ken over by committee, the all ruling body, was taken over

when there was war, they moved out and went to the best place in the border of france and germany, therewas action and they settled there for 200 years and then war came into europe and things get difficult so they moved to the united states to be the ally. they came here. and where did they go, where the action was, ohio. did you know ohio has given seven presidents to this nation so they came and settled in ohio. they even participated on the civil war here. they decided to move down because it [inaudible] he worked with the butcher >> was there something specific that all trump said about immigrants that riled you up? you said when i heard him say that i had to, what was it? >> he doesn't like black colors and yellow color >> you went on to call him many things. i think buffoon was one of the ones i could say on family television. there was one about a rotten halloween pumpkin from last year and other things. and then there was of course a lot of expletives. we are not used to presidents doing this. guess i want to ask, why are you so over-the-top about the president of the united sta

germany is needed for future decisions to be taken about europe. france wants germany to be there.ong germany for europe. at the moment, emmanuel macron is taking all of the weight of europe because he is saying we need to speed... but europe doesn't want to have all this agenda taken by brexit. there are other things, refugees, the crisis in the eurozone, that could come back. there's the question of poland, there's the question of defence. there is a question of foreigners first and all that. at the moment it is all blocked, the main country is blocked politically. there is urgency for a government in germany. whether it is weak or strong, it doesn't matter. you called for a strong one, that is the point, i don't think you will see one emerge in the nearfuture. it will be viable in certain functions, economic and otherwise, but it won't be in a position to really represent the country as a whole because there is such a wrangling going on between the two main parties. this could be called kielinger's paradox, suggesting germans want change but they don't want any change. they want
