the border town of qana goss is situated at the end of the highway. goss has an old custom station and riders who aren't fazed by anything. but china wants to give its new image a visual representation in the form of a huge arch under which the new silk road will soon run. beyond this triumphal arch is kazakhstan that's where the international dimension of the chinese project begins. here the new silk. road is still a construction site but just three years after she ging ping's proclamation the continuation of the chinese road is easy to imagine he shan bell machine is one of the main players in this ongoing project he's a frenchman of moroccan origin and an employee of d.p. world a group of companies based in dubai and one of the world's leading logistics organizations they are model china is behind me almaty in kazakhstan is in front of me i might see to the left of me is kyrgyzstan and beyond it was becky stan i have russia to my right called goss's at the center between all of these countries this is where everything is happening does it belong so

financial autonomy because the iran nuclear deal as you said is so important to us diplomatically mr goss let me bring you in now this alternative payment system so the dominant swift we have heard from others not just high claim os that the european commission has been developing a parallel system to swift which would allow iran to interact with the european financial systems how viable is this. i don't think we can build up as special moments of them just for one a country. which after all is of very limited economic and financial importance actually when we talk about him and says you should look at that the dominant global payment system is lift which is europe so european company it is under the jurisdiction of the european commission therefore so in this sense it's wrong to say that we need a new european imminent oh no global payments is to derive rather the united states donna what we need is different and actual markets so that we wouldn't need our european companies to live in the united states or to have lots of theories this u.s. financial markets that's the real problem not s

without so it's a very precarious moment but europe doesn't have any other choice i agree with mr goss that of course it's easy to say you're going to pull this off because there are so many countervailing forces but those politicians who believe in europe and to believe that even a big country like germany is no longer enough sufficient to hold its own in this kind of tumultuous world they need to kind of invest to try to convince the public and make the most off this situation that in terms of the turmoil is is indeed unprecedented and should they use you know the issue of iran to come together and stand up to the u.s. on this most of us will go to you. i don't think iran will make much. effect or will have much effect on european public opinion. and this stronger. support for european unity and action comes actually from putin from trump himself by questioning the value of the alliance to some extent by the military will turn out go on so the more people in europe a cvs that they're surrounded by very unstable regimes unstable states the more of course the likely order increase that

give you an example how can we explain for example duck russian companies are allowed to enter german gosse networks invest into networks coming from also not a well developed market system so sooner or later this sort of specific china legislation is going to create tensions bilaterally with china on the investment but also on the traits are well on the trade side what what could be the consequences there how could it affect not only investment but trade as you put it . that's a very important issue we don't talk on the about investment issues here one need to bear in mind that china has integrated itself very successfully into the global trading system since two thousand and one when it became a w two member and one side effect of this is of course the country has a koolade over the last years massively capital foreign reserves and the logic of the global capital the system is that this capital has to be invested sooner or later in other countries so prohibiting investment means also sooner alright or trade will be also a conflict thing and field so we need a deeper discussion about a lev

nbc's stephanie goss tells us more. >> reporter: the firestorm around asia argento, one of the leading voices in the "me too" movement, grows even bigger. less than a day after she denied having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old minor in 2013, text messages tmz says they obtained appear to tell a different story. nbc news has not independently obtained or verified the messages. which the website says were exchangediend bhis week discuss bennett. in one message argento reportedly writes, i had sex with him, it felt weird, i didn't know he was a minor until the shakedown letter. in a statement on tuesday, argento says a payoff to bennett, which was first reported by "the new york times," was made by her boyfriend, the late anthony bourdain. the alleged text released on tmz suggesting he and her lawyer did not want to pay. in one of the messages argento says bourdain hired someone to look into bennett writing, i have 80 pages on him by a p.i. that anthony hired. tonight her accuse ir, jimmy bennett, responded for the first time in a statement writing in part, i was underage when th
