hungary has fought for these values. a right declaration to say whether some countries would not abide by this. but when it comes to ideological and political blackmailing, we cannot use this word — rule of law — because there is no objective criteria to that. and by this, you are infringing upon principal values, which is a legal security. actually, you have to be aware of the scene what you have to commit in order to be sanctioned. and that's why the treaties are providing a higher guarantee when it comes to the values. and this is article 7 procedure, which requires unanimity, which requires member state governments to look into each other‘s eyes and have a dialogue on those values, including rule of law. so i would actually ask whether you could define the rule of law and what does this mean? minister, it is interesting you say there should be a dialogue on this issue of rule of law. seems to me since the european parliament invoked, as you say, the article 7 procedures based on serious concern that hungary was in vi

the polish government in warsaw meanwhile, also stood by hungary's side. both countries rejected stricter measures binding them to the e.u. rule of law. we are saying no to this package and we are using our veto because this so-called rule of law principle has nothing to do with the rule of law . rather, it is political enslavement and a radical limitation of our sovereignty. and if you, but if you, their resistance calls into question if and when they use corona aid will be made available. countries like spain and italy are eagerly awaiting assistance. if hungry in poland are seriously ready to block e.u. financing and solidarity to bring us out of the coronavirus crisis, just because it's following selfish national interests. and that would trigger a serious crisis for the european union with european parliament talks at an impasse, convincing hungary and poland to get on board with the package will likely be a job for europe's national leaders instead. well, would have likely ramifications of this for the e.u. earlier correspondent barbara basal in brus

at 1st, we know that poland and hungary vetoed the e.u.budget, largely over the rule of law clause. and they said it's an unfair ideological battle. and do you think that that's fat and do you see a way out of the status of well, i think they are like i think in maui i think the european union,, the same object english as a soul to the coming to power with these i.d.l., the rule of law, actually, what do they mean? because i don't see them is not a sense, a lot of faith. and then as they should not be pulled, they fall is their full getting eyeballs of the all the principle of figurative so go. those causes the absence overrule the low, which has been allegedly made by people like o.c. fusion and so on. and so you do in your new no, hasn't any constitution on this. thank god for it. so they should not be full policies against states. like congo we and the poem, by the way, if you think about a bump on the way out of the reasons that we align that feel more than the little one as it was the european union. because if you remember he so you

now poland and hungary are unhappy about plans that would allow the e.u. to block payments to countries that it decides are corrupt or violate the rule of law. now the 2 countries say that these takut stem, the deadlock, involves some 1.8, trillion euros, nearly half of which is aimed at helping the e.u. deal with the effects of the pandemic. possible to need to do in this hugging room is providing some comfort. the 2nd wave of covert 19 is heating italy just as hard as the 1st wave did in the spring, and the economic consequences are equally rough. italy, along with many other e.u. states, is anxiously awaiting a multi-million euro e.u. finance package to help ease the coded 19 crisis. but the funds are being blocked at a virtual summit on thursday. hungary and poland used a veto powers to stall the funds from being distributed, saying that the conditions set for the payments go too far. yeah, we say no to all mechanisms that are meant to punish us like naughty children and that treat poland and other countries one equally in poland and hungary object to

how would you assess the situation in hungary look, hungary you have to go with if you want to go toprotect the lives of the house, the hungry and people. of course, on the other hand, our goal is to keep the country operating and to keep the economy operating in the meantime. so we protect the life, i'm going to go situation on the people and the jobs of the people in the, in the meantime, by the most important saying it has to maintain the author of the ability of the health care system. so in order to, let's say, flattened a corner of the infected person, we decide between always some restrictive measures, including a night of you, including closing the, the high schools and the higher educational institutions. in order to, to decrease or slow down the spread of the wires because the slower the wires, the better the health care system continued to operate. so what they would like to avoid is that image or are the images which we have unfortunately seen in the springtime from how from rich countries from g 7, g 20 countries that because of the lack of medical patients that remained

so poland and hungary are not singled out. but every country, if they sort of london, the democratic rules or sort of deconstruct them, will be admonished and in the end will be punished if that doesn't help. and if that doesn't help to get find climbdown for poland and hungary, then there's the so-called nuclear option that the remaining $2425.00 countries would raise the money on the financial markets via intergovernmental contract. it's a bit complicated, legally, and technically, but it is doable. it is doable. but we know in the european union, we really see the nuclear option. where do things go from here and keep us out of the mushroom cloud? they really have to resolve this. i mean, they do have to do something and retreating is not an option either for european countries because they have also docked themselves in on this one of lawmaking is and they have sort of looked on what happened in hungary and lately in poland for years and they haven't interfered and now the patients sort of run out. so it really, resolution

meanwhile, hungary is in the queue to buy russia's vaccine.it's also among the latest european countries to impose a long down following a dramatic surge in covert cases. this will last this lockdown for at least 30 days . it includes a nighttime curfew. earlier i spoke about budapest plans to ship in the spinning the job with the hungary and foreign minister who is himself in quarantine after contracting the virus. it's any time international cooperation that based on mutual respect is important that it is not. and i think he book received political correctness judging each other during each other should be left behind. and instead of the moment that king go out, there are countries on the political basis we should think about how to cooperate. that's why i think international cooperation would be extremely important when it comes to the vaccine, for example. so sometimes i have the feeling that the issue of the vaccines is becoming politicized, which i think should be again, we are crossing fingers for all companies and countries which are m

hungary stated, it's ready to purchase the drug. we are not going to negotiate simply by russia. we are not actually part of the production to hungary just a few moments into a brand new day here in moscow, thursday, november the 12th pleasure to have your company this hour. i mean, unknown. it's been confirmed that the u.s. state of georgia will hold an election recount the local secretary of state making not announcement, citing joe biden margin of victory over donald trump killam up and takes us through what it could mean for the presidential election. well, georgia is a state was 16 votes in the u.s. electoral college, and usually it is considered to be a red state that generally just goes routinely for republicans in national elections. however, at this point, it's a swing state. and in the count of the votes, the 1st count joe biden had a very narrow lead. now at this point, we've got george's secretary of state coming forward and saying that a hand recount is taking place at the request of the trump team. mathematically, you have to do a full recount because the margin is

countries awaiting millions of euros in emergency funding to help write the coronavirus pandemic, that hungary and poland are blocking the money's release in a row over who respect the rule of law. brent: our viewers and 12 you around the world, welcome, u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo is in the middle east on eight trip that is breaking with established u.s. foreign policy. for starters, he became the first u.s. secretary of state to visit a jewish settlement in the occupied west bank today, and occupation still not recognized by much of the international community. later in the day he stopped in the is really held go run heights, it is good area that israel annexed back in 1967. syria has condemned today's visit calling it a provocative act. >> it is a first for israeli american relations and a parting gift from america's outgoing top diplomat. mike pompeo's visit to the golan heights making -- makes him the first u.s. secretary of state to visit the territory since israel seized the region. the u.n. may have rejected the annexation, but for pompeo and the trump administration, this is i

hungary accusing the bloc of blackmail. and they feel they are being unfairly singled out because hungary and poland are not the only countries in europe with corruption and rule of law issues. malta bug area romania. they're also well documented to have the same issues. so don't these countries have a point that the e.u. is unfairly singling them out for what they call political reasons? no, i don't think so because the, the mechanism click on the chanel a t on the rule of law. we love bly to every member state. very succinct. there is a budget deadlock right now. poland and hungary being the prime member states that are blocking the e.u. budget and a very crucially coronavirus recovery plan because funding is linked to respecting the rule of law. that budget is worth a staggering 1.8, trillion euros. and is desperately needed. courtship, your country will be taking over the e.u. presidency in january. how will you get all of the e.u. member states to agree? well, we expect that the german presidency can solve this problem

polandto by hungary, by could have far-reaching consequences.en: absolutely, and what bruno le maire fails to say is that one of the reasons why is vetoing isgary the rule of law, which is one of avoid,ngs they want to is only on the condition of a meeting that hungary and poland cannot block it. you can too, extent say that the recovery fund has become a prisoner on the malfunctioning of the eu's legislative way of doing things. i think it is really a catch 22 ,ecause in the case of hungary you have the hardest hit of the pendant, and you have what the core european countries betting that italy and spain and maybe france come to the table, and wonder that money from the recovery fund being played out. but that will not play very well if it comes at the expense of the rule of law. i don't think it is as easy as everyone is trying to make it that ultimately, poland and hungary will step down. because if they step down in terms of the conversation, it will be based on the fact that they accept the rule of law being implemented, and they cannot liv

the idea of more burden sharing isn't agreed on by poland and hungary. they say no, they don't want lots of poland, hungary also not on side when it comes to the conditions of the e.u. budget for the next 7 years. now poland has found itself accused by brussels, of having undermined the independence of the g d surety, as well as having a road at some of the checks and balances of democracy while in hungary those fingers pointed at them, saying that in particular the, the prime minister of hungary, viktor orbán, saying that he's launched a crackdown against free media and academics under some of the clauses that are written into the new budget. if you don't play by brussels rules, you don't get brussels as money and that isn't sitting too well with either warsaw or budapest to feel it may be targeted. it pretty much is targeted directly at them, but they aren't alone in not being happy with this move. but i've also known notion of propaganda clubs emerged in the european union deciding what the rule of law is and how it's broken from communist times. we k

news evidence that hungary is misusing pandemic relief funds. we'll take you to budapest to meet the critics fighting to call well corruption, at the highest levels. i'm burnt off. it's good to have you with us. america is strongest when it works with its allies. those were the words of u.s. president elect joe biden. today, as he introduced some of the people that he wants to be on his cabinet, the transition to a biden white house is picking up speed after president trump cleared the way for a transfer of power. joe biden says that his new team will lead by example. it's a team that will keep our country and our people safe and secure. it's a team that reflects the fact that america is back ready to lead the world. not retreat from it. once again, sit at the head of the table, ready to confront our adversaries, and not reject our allies ready to stand up for our values. in fact, in calls from world leaders that i've ad about 18 to 20 so far, i'm not sure the exact number in the weeks since we won the election. i've been struck by how much they

hungary and poland threatened to derail it.

brussels accuses poland and hungary of a roading, judicial independence and media freedoms.so what are the likely ramifications for the e.u.? earlier we asked a d. w correspondent, barbara of a cell in brussels. normal negotiating is over and is, has never happened before at this point in time that the e.u. budget had been vetoed. there was always a lot ahead going and going back and forth. but after the summit and after the european parliament has said, ok, we agree on this. so that package that was a done deal. but this time now the, those countries i know sort of really sticking in putting a stick into the spokes at the very last moment. what happens now is that they can be found technical work around the european budget can just continue on the basis of last year. for a while, and the corona recovery fund can buy a complicated procedure made into a different type of contract that only 25 european governments agree upon. but all this is going to take time and create a major headache. everybody is really angry about those 2 and on thursday we will see what happens because

the idea of more burden sharing isn't agreed on by poland and hungary, poland, hungary, also not on side when it comes to the conditions of the e.u. budget for the next 7 years. now poland has found itself accused by brussels, of having undermined the independence of the gita surety, as well as having a row did some of the checks and balances of democracy, while in hungary, those fingers pointed at them, saying that in particular, the, the prime minister of hungary, viktor orban, saying that he's launched a crackdown against free media and academics under some of the clauses that are written into the new budget. if you don't play by brussels rules, you don't get brussels as money and that is targeted directly at them, but they aren't alone in not being happy with this move. but i've also known notion of propaganda club has emerged in the european union deciding what the rule of law is and how it's broken from communist times. we know well how such clubs eved and i reject such tools because the rule of law is now being applied in the e.u. is a scare tactic, and people possessed of his tru

while in hungary there's fingers pointed at them saying that in particular, the prime minister of hungary, viktor orbán, saying that he's launched a crackdown against free media. and academics under some of the clauses that are written into, you know, git, if you don't play by brussels rules, you don't get brussels as money and that isn't sitting too well with either warsaw or budapest who feel it may be targeted. it pretty much is targeted directly at them, but they aren't alone in not being happy with this move. revolution notion, a propaganda club has emerged in the european union deciding what the rule of law is and how it's broken from communist times. we know well how such clubs he used. we reject such tools because the rule of law is now being applied in the e.u. as a scare tactic to opposite of his true meaning. the rule of law should mean the right of states to reform themselves in accordance with treaties and the constitution. numerous media outlets and some political groups in the european parliament are openly threatening to use that instrument wrong or termed the rule of law

hungary and poland, reject conditions set for the payment of the funds. washington: yeah, we say no to all mechanisms which are meant to punish us like naughty children and which treat poland and other countries an equally in the 3 strongest year when there were a very on the table is the e.u. budget of 1.8 trillion euros for the next 7 years, including 750000000000 euros of coronavirus aid, payment of the recovery funds is blocked in cases of corruption or violation of the rule of law. that is what hungary and poland want to prevent. they along with slovenia, oppose the other e.u. . members. there are many other member states who are not willing to make major compromises on the rule of law. the leaders are trying to find a middle ground. but given these entrenched positions, it's clear that pandemic is not the only crisis. europe needs to solve the money and the virus. let's cross over now to our correspondent barbara bays and she's in brussels following this summit for good evening to you barbara. this route. what seems to be the big elephant that's in

there's a lot at stake for hungary and poland.n the past, they have received a lot of fines from the e.u.. they would be the beneficiaries of this package as well, so we telling in fact for them means shooting themselves in the foot. you have to remember that the , andt is headed by germany to leaverkel is keen this package as her legacy. the e.u. has assured itself as being very aggressive, very decisive during the crisis, and this image of cohesion is now under threat because of these vetoes. so they want to come up with some kind of deal or agreement, perhaps linked to certain behaviors or precise behaviors so that the funds can be dispersed. if they are not dispersed, remember that countries that need funding still have access to financial markets, and as low,as interest is already that shouldn't be too much of a challenge for them. but the big -- big question is whether the image of cohesion comes under threat. long euro positions have been building since we learned about the e.u. recovery find. if there is in a deal or there

brent: poland and hungary are blocking passage of the european union's 1.8 trillion euro budget. the budget includes 700 50 billion euros in coronavirus relief. poland and hungary object to a new mechanism that would tie funding to a commitment for the respect of the rule of law. brussels accuses poland and hungary of eroding the rule of law, eroding judicial independence and press freedoms. so what are the likely ramifications for the european union? i spoke with barbara wesel in brussels. guest: normal negotiating is over. at this point in time, the eu budget had been vetoed. there was always a lot of haggling going back and forth, but after the summit and european parliament has said ok, we agree on that package, it was a done deal. now both countries are putting a stick into the spokes at the very last moment. what happens now is they can just continue on the basis of last year for a while and the corona recovery fund can buy complicated procedure, that only 25 european governments agree upon. all of this is going to take time and create a major headache. everyone is really a

if we let hungary go we are going -- the cancer will spread and we. eastern europe. the incredibly sad thing, the eisenhower administration was talking about rolling back against communism and all of a sudden we can't do anything. >> all the guys you talk about started with good intentions, living up to america's morally right upstanding postwar savior and it went pear-shaped after a while and they ended up participating through pretty horrible things, backing up dictators and letting down legitimate movements. you end of judging the men you write about? >> know i don't. i see it, it is easy to do that, to stand in judgment of people. also what happened to almost all of these, it is very gradual. a gradual surface in germany, right after the war, former the literary intelligence officers, they know what is happening. then it becomes members of the nazi party and you go on and on, working with bona fide nazi war criminals but it doesn't start out that way. it is a gradual process. the other thing, for all of these men they saw the cold war, every other day cataclysmic

we are not going to buy my super russian palm production, or at least part of the production to hungary. just after 10 at night in nairobi. and right here in moscow this wednesday, november the 11th, a warm welcome to our, to international. i mean, i know neil. the armenian opposition is calling on the prime minister to step down after the signing of a highly unpopular peace deal with us or by sharon street. protests are now raging in europe against monday's truce for the disputed region. in these latest pictures we've received, you can see police firing tear gas on the pride brought that day, hundreds of people gathered outside the parliament building in europe. the non-singing packed with. as a capitulation, several protesters were detained. a police officer reportedly based no reporting from the protest. now our teeth were shot down off. so a few 100 people are still occupying the street right next to the armenian parliament. if you look close enough, you'll notice a very heavy police presence. essentially, the security forces have khujand almost the entire perimeter around the build
