that same year germany had a racial awakening. following the murder of african american, george floyd by a police officer, i was punished. how many people went on collect anyway? and because it's been back since the large numbers that changed for 50 years ago, despite the active germany is far from it's cool by guy, moment of racial harmony, they've been neglected to come in. let me get over. there has been the the, sometimes i ask myself, why did god create different skin colors, white, black and so on? well, why did god do that to us in the the news the news, the news from the, the the, the the in the leisurely lifestyle. china's tropical island paradise for 3rd grade. but the countries dream beaches aren't just about fun and relaxation. young surfers are training in the least national program. they're part a limping goal for china. ah, the news? the in december, 2019 the european council president show me shows embarked on a ground breaking mission. i had a clear door to make sure of the 1st time of jones on the planet by 2050

germany is the u. k. second largest trading partner, 3 quarters of a 1000000 brits work for german companies or vice versa. more than 21000 germans attend u k. universities and one in 5 people in this country driving around in a german car. and today i'm going to and i have agreed to expand those links because we're going to be expanding our youth exchanges, creating a new cultural dialogue. and as we speak, a new energy superhighway is being established between our countries, which will enable british t to be brewed with the the harvest of german sunshine and german breakfast will be grilled. i hope, using british wind time angle leave. just address the british cabinet. you enjoyed it and you are the 1st for leader to do so this century. and what we've also agreed is that from now on german and u. k. cabinets will meet every year to discuss shadow issues. and the 1st arrangement of this kind of for the u. k, angular on behalf of the u. k. i want to thank you for your truly historic commitment. not jus

this photo was taken at the g 7 summit in germany. but for many americans, it looks like the austrian alps and have seen from the sound of music miracles, arms outstretched like a singing julie andrews. it is safe to say that miracles, relationship with obama, was much more in tune then with president trump. but there were other songs, other moments and other presidents take a look in texas when you invite somebody in your home a expression of warmth and respect. and that's how i feel about you for most of the we want to pay. busy tribute to an extraordinary leader who embodied these values and who's inspired millions. busy around the world, including me, and that's my friend, chancellor michael, here's an exemplary life of groundbreaking service to germany and i might add, i mean, from the bottom heart to the world on behalf of the united states. thank you for your career. strong principal leadership and thank you for speaking out for what is right and for never failing to defend human dignity. and with that, the day is almost done,

she had grown up in east germany and became the chancellor of the united germany.with her leading power, does that mark an inflection point in history in any way do you think? >> certainly it will changed transatlantic relations. she is someone who has seen four presidents and she has got along very well with three of them. george bush paid tribute to her again this week in an interview with dw in which he just heaped on the praise and definitely her background as an east german, the fact that she grew up in communist east germany and was able to transcend that and be such a strong democrat. that is part of what americans respect but i think more than anything else, they respect the principled leadership for which she was awarded an honorary degree today at johns hopkins university. they said she was a beacon of principled leadership for the world as a whole and if you look at polls, the p research institute in the u.s. did a survey looking at angela merkel and joe biden's popularity in the one. in many places, angela merkel is remo pularop than joe biden although

in germany, but also between france and britain in germany. because germany very difficult. state western positions is a very direct and if you will, unflinching manner. i was looking for compromise with countries like this. i tried that we had the same discussion with germany and russia over the past 25 years. when you take it apart, you find out that germany's position is not very much different than that of the western countries. but germany, our test, the code is position with a very, very cooperative rhetoric which many people are the west. the appeasement actually angle. and merkle is term comes to an end after september's electrons. what influence do you expect a new chancellor to have on us german relations? well, i think the interesting point here is medical is going to be missed for sure. and we'll see how the new chancellor is able to fit her shoes. quite difficult, i think. but the fact is, if you look around the world right now, all of the major powers, if you want to use that term, are actually say, tried to cultivate germany. ge

threaten ukraine, germany and the u.s.ill react together. brent: does this mean the pipeline will be finished after all? we know the chancellor's always been in support of this project. reporter: well, brent, it is likely that it will go ahead now. the u.s. opposition was the main obstacle. and of course, of the 1200 kilometers or so of the pipeline, almost all of it has been built. there's a huge urgency on the german side to get this thing finished. as this deal appears to introduce, as it were, a new threat that the eu would push forward with sanctions, if russia applied pressure to ukraine. ukraine is important here because it is a transit country for russian gas. at the moment, the theory is the russians might switch that off if they have the altnative of nord stream 2. and the eu may impose sanctions, but that u.s. sanctions threat is being removed. we know president biden already suspended those sanctions. he's not keen on nord stream 2. angela merkel raised the issue with him when she was in washington last week. i

but 1st of all, i'm leg free to being like can live in germany to be confronted. oh, i the germany. when people hear the word, what do they thing known for cars? later i was in the worst end beer. when it comes to sports, the $936.00, the lympics comes to my invented film, a blonde in blue i, germans. then we think of german bosses, tennis players in race, car drivers, all of whom have made their mark, football wise. we think of guys like these winning the world cup 4 times. when we're talking about germans. we automatically think that germans means to be white, for instance, right? when we get them from, from my talking up, been talking about germans, we think of course l, y, and business of obviously is not the case. but as this businesses have the image of them, and it's still walking the streets of berlin or frankfort, you could think you're in london or parents. in some black germans have gone abroad to get recognition in popular culture. half of mili when nearly was german, they didn't really thing though did a but another black german day gentlemen. member number size also in

and germany are supporting the global initiative. the rate act accelerate, turn into a problem used to come in combat in the g r, 20 global nations, but also the, particularly the g 7 nations have a t responsibility. and so the commitments of the cornwell g 7 summit of particular importance of the aim is to have over 2000000000 vaccinations available by 2020. what's remarkable above and beyond this agreement to combat climate change to the international support for sustainable glo infrastructure town. ladies gentlemen, i've done that, economists torture as american americans, germans and european allies in nato. we are partners and international trade. we share common values and interests kind of, you know, 2 regions in the world that have such common interests and most values as europe and the usa. and because this is the case, was that i understand the great honor that use bestowed on me today also being an expression of the close ties of our 2 countries and for that. and i am truly grateful. thank you. the now for our internationa

as we heard, germany's chancellor _ canada. as we heard, germany's chancellor angela _ canada.chancellor angela merkel - canada. as we heard, germany's chancellor angela merkel has - chancellor angela merkel has called the flood a disaster. since coming to power in 2005, she has met and worked with four different us presidents. 0ne four different us presidents. one issue that has come up time and again as climate change. for more on this, i'm joined from washington byjeffrey rathke, president of the american institute for contemporary german studies atjohns hopkins university. it is worth pointing out that germany has been a very staunch ally of the united states under angela merkel�*s leadership there have been times when there have been times when there have been tensions and faculties and perhaps not quite a meeting of minds on issues like mama change?— a meeting of minds on issues like mama change? that is true and i think _ like mama change? that is true and i think president _ like mama change? that is true and i think president biden, - like mama change? that is true and

united states. germany will be acting as a mediator, or at least at cold on germany, to act as a mediator between russia, gas problem, and ukraine's enough, the gas in order to get a new contract. a new deal, sir, for transit rights for russian guest pass across ukrainian territory into europe. they're looking for an extension of the deal until 2034 or so the current deal expires in 2024. so it's a 10 year extension. thereafter. at the moment, the rumblings from the russian side of being for quite a while that they're quite keen to do that deal. so it'll come down to whether jeremy can convince the ukrainian side to get on side with that. there's also set to be major investment in green technologies in ukraine by both germany and the united states. but while they steal, as they say, essentially remove the chances of the us trying to actively stop the pipeline and those comb with some threats towards russia. the deal saying the part, the wording of the, the joint statement following the dale, saying they should russia to try and use energy supplies to put pressure on any nation in europe.

it isn't all germany or germany and france. this is a coalition of nations.e will be different from the past. as thomas says, that is politics. that is how satiety changes. that is how society changes. what i feared though is that merkel's steadiness, there was a 2020 survey done of the eu countries and in 14 nations, 75% trusted her personally. now, the incoming person will have to work very hard to get to that level of trust. so it is always difficult when somebody has left behind quite a legacy. secondly, one doesn't know. i completely agree about the whole russia dialogue, with russia thing. a lot is happening, thanks to putin and his ambitions and the eu will have to come up with the collective response. and they are good at that. so i have great faith in the eu. i will always be loyal to it even though i'm no longer a part of it. they do things in a reasonable way. they are not as shouty as we are. it will be fine. but if it will take work. thank you very much. "grandiose statements lacking teeth and devoid of effective delivery mechanisms". that's the

you are not germany. at the start of his international career, as a more even had to convince some of his teammates he belonged. i think it's like, i was supposed to them you, you can do something better than and then they thought it was that feel. and i think because my face can call you go and where i saw ok, this guy can happen. so i saw i saw so like now i'm in a team by the beginning was not easy to just come and say, okay.

eventually taking the rain away from germany.ng dry weather. with the sunshine we had on thursday, temperatures in northern ireland reached 26 degrees, making it the warmest day of the year so far. it's going to be a warm start across belfast, temperatures at 16 degrees. we start with cloud across east anglia, but it will break up more readily. it's going to feel warmer. sunshine across england and wales. some patchy cloud developing. there will be spells of sunshine for northern ireland, but across western scotland, more of a breeze and more cloud. sunnier skies and warmer weather for eastern parts of scotland and across england and wales, 26—27 degrees. it'll be a warmer day for the eastern side of england. high pressure in charge in the weekend. around the top of the area of high pressure, winds are coming in from the atlantic. stronger winds of scotland again on saturday, and that will drag in more cloud and a little more drizzle. the cloud in northern ireland will tend to break up and will get sunshine coming in across other

germany wants the pipeline. and so when germany is essentially agreed to was, yes, we will find an agreement and we will punish russia if they harm ukraine, and they try to use the energy to, to make ukraine's life more difficult. but what are you that the ukrainians are really upset about? what they're upset about is $2100000000.00 in gas transit fees that they collected last year. and they're afraid those are going to go away. now they're trying renewal right now that we go into about the year 2036, and that would continue these transit beat, bottom, or hook by the we will have those open to continuing to do this. and as part of this agreement, germany has agreed to continue to do this, which to me on the outside. sure. and germany will continue to pay transit fees to a country ukraine. but they're not moving gas through simply because the rest of the world things, this is the right thing to do with things. bizarre and now bill, you actually teach a class on the geo politics of energy. you worked with the depa

she had grown up in east germany, became the chancellor of a united germany with her leaving power. does dance rep? is it, does it mark an inflection point in history in any way? do you think? well, certainly it will change trans relation. she's somebody who has seen for chancellors and she has gotten along with 4 presidents. yeah. and she has gotten along very well with 3 of them. george bush pay tribute to her again this week and an interview with d. w. in which she just really for the heat done the praise and definitely her background as an east german as part of that. the fact that she grew up in communist east germany and was able to transcend that and piece to wrong democrats. so that's part of what americans respect, i think more than anything else brand, they respect the principal leadership for which she in fact was awarded an honorary degree today at johns hopkins university with the law data on this degree saying she is a beacon of principal leadership for the world as a whole. and if you look at paul, the pew research institute in the us did a survey looking at anglo med

i prefer germany. some germans didn't embrace the new look germany when the world cup came in the summer of 2006 extreme right wing groups distributed flyers, posters and stickers, which read know gerald. you are not germany at the start of his international career as a more even had to convince some of his teammates he belonged. i think it's like, i was supposed to them you, you can do something better than and then they thought it was empty. and i think because my face can call you go and do away, i saw ok. this guy can help us who i saw. i also like know i'm in a team by the beginning was not easy to just come and say okay, and if you need to wait for with him, gerald mower was not the only target in 2006 german i, jerry and player, patrick. oh, my yella was attacked in the far right propaganda white more than just the color of a jersey for a real national tea. back in the blender slager after germany's home, 2006 world cup. as a more was the victim of racist abuse and a cut match. fans made monkey

he also named china when he said that germany in the u. s. will continue to push for democracy and human rights and mean he, you know, he was targeting these countries. did that surprise you? he was very outspoken about that, but that's not really new brand. he doesn't really. i mean, i'm sure he's convinced about it, but he also does it for domestic reasons because the fear of china and the fear towards russia or off russia, especially now after the cyber attacks is growing in this country. and the president, the former president donald trump, was really outspoken and hit his criticism of china. so that puts some pressure on president biden, kind of to keep this critical approach alive. and again, there are some disagreements between germany and the united states, especially when it comes to join to trade with china. but medical also said, you know, there are many ways to, to deal with this competitive. but again, germany and the united states also do agree that human rights to play a role and that it is important kind of to face this compet

a difficult trial for germany as a cultural home. the hum, they couldn't, le, you've supported artists financially. but as we said, money is not enough aligned. when you look back on the pandemic, would you say you could have done something different? maybe better. you found to say, i didn't impressive that we took the culture scene and it's hardships into consideration so early on in the pen demik. and we responded to what was happening if i may add, i think we did more than any other country in the world. $2100000000.00 euros per year. my culture budget practically doubled, and i secured an additional 2000000000 euros just to help those in the creative industry through the pandemic. this helps keep the infrastructure in place and to damp the financial impact on artist personal lives. we've created a wide reaching grant program with thousands of individual grounds. and was there found a man as if there was in less than half a year, we spent $900000000.00 of the 1st 1000000000. so we then received an additional 1000000000 euros becau
