janet mui from cazenove capital is still with us. what do we get from the ecb in terms of either cuts to the deposit rate or a resumption of qe, or both? janet: i think the data has deteriorated since the last -- they last met. i can understand the more dovish tone but in terms of an immediate policy action, rates are already negative. they communicate they may read dish -- want to cut rates but in a minute rate cut may not do much. they need to communicate how to deal with the negative interest rate that are already affecting bank profitability. before they can cut rates, they need to actually deliver the message on the tearing system. that may alleviate pressure on the negative interest rate and they will guide the markets to think they will be more qe coming or we start qe, but i don't think it will be imminent in july. does ahow much potential dovish turned by the ecb or any action taken have to weaken the euro? this leads back to the conversation we were having earlier about the low but rising -- as goldman put it, risk of dollar fx intervention. how much could anything the ecb does weaken the euro and therefore feedback into the fx intervention debate? janetthink there is a high risk that the euro will fall further. that is really because ultimately, central-bank policy really matters for currency but ultimately, it is the growth differential that really matters. that is why i am more pessimistic on eurozone growth because -- especially on the manufacturing side, and i don't see how that recovers in the new term given the trade tensions and slowing chinese growth. growth,the weakness in if it persists in the eurozone, there is more a case to sell off the euro versus the dollar given the dovish ecb and already negative interest rates and we growth. -- weak growth carried there is more of a case for the eurozone depreciating further than the dollar. nejra: what does that mean for yields in europe? let's focus on the bund yield. we backed off a little this week but how much more negative could we get on the bund yield by year-end? janet: we are seeing bund yields have get below the ecb deposit rate and i think that could happen again. just b

janet warren on how you can legally game the system. janet: first of all, it is clear you really can't buy your kid into college, but there are ways to be spending a lot of money. so let's review the doors. the front door is that your kid is the real deal. real academic tops, top grades, top test scores. done something amazing, some real achievement. best oboe player in the state. found a cure for cancer, etc. that kid is going to get into a lot of places. so that is the front door. the back door is giving a lot of money. , and that is what richards richard singer talked about. but, of course, there is no guarantee, and it could be a really expensive. there is no real assurance. carol: like a donation to the school? or something like that? janetotentially tens of millions of dollars. but there is no guarantee because he has to be able to do the work. if the kid gets in and can't, it doesn't help anybody. so he created the side door by lying, cheating, and bribing. some of the more memorable stuff from the 204 page indictment, including photoshopping kid's s' face onto bodies of crew team members to pretend they were real athletes, he advised faking learning disabilities to get more time on tests. he had all these people in place, bribing sports coaches, and that was the side door. it is probably safe to say the side door is closed. so one way to get your kid an advantage is test prep. you could spend $50,000 on test prep. what does that mean? are you sending your kid starting freshman year of high school starting two times a week, three times a week? chances are, the kid takes it seriously, does a lot of work, and he or she may be prepared, but there is no guarantee. jason: one of the things you talk about is parents out ther

janet: it is tough to say. guy: in your scenario, if we only get 25 basis cuts this year. that is going to annoy the president. janet: i think that the dollar is at its peak already. i don't see a lot of strengthening of the dollar. we are more likely to see depreciation of the dollar instead of appreciation. i think that the markets, even though they are expecting a number of rate cuts, the dollar index hasn't really fallen that much, but it may actually react to an actual cut. we see the high probability of dollar depreciating rather than appreciating. guy: does draghi deliver more cuts before he goes, or do you think he's going to wait for lagarde to deliver them for him? janetugh call. i think there are signs that the ecb would like to do more, but i'm not sure if a rate cut at this point would actually deliver much. rates are already in negative territory. we see that today, the german bund yield far below the deposit rate. i'm not sure if it will be that efficient in driving the economy and expectations for inflation. i do think that draghi would probably want to set policy guidance that goes beyond his term because there will be a new governor, possibly christine lagarde. i think the policy guidance will be very dovish, but i'm not sure about a rate cut before his term. guy: these think we are going to see a shift of fiscal policy? janet: i think it would have to be, if we are talking about globally. monetary policy in japan and europe is probably reaching its capacity. there's lack of ammunition that central banks can do, rates where they are. on the fiscal side they will probably have to take the driver in driving growth. of course, it is a question of

janet reitman climate campaign director of greenpeace usa thinks of what the president has had to say she joins us now live from washington d.c. we quite short on time janet reitman so i just want your initial thoughts 1st of all on what you've been hearing so far absolutely i think as it was one can expect the kinds of things that president chavez pointing to are are ridiculous certainly he is not an environmental president he is in fact found in his presidency in talking about energy domination in rolling back massive numbers of protections for our health for our environment for families across this country it's an incredibly a great just speech and it's kind of shocking to listen to him brag about his record it's interesting isn't it because he hasn't really mentioned anything about fossil fuel so much except to say that or a strong economy is vital to maintaining a healthy environment and that you know energy the energy sector sector has to 35 for the survival of the u.s. . is it fair to say that the that the groups like greenpeace have really gone before the fossil fuels and that from some people's perspective in the u.s. the fight the president supports what he calls things like you know beautiful clean coal is a good thing. well i think the fact that he would raise for example the gas export of gas across around the world was really clear from this president as he doesn't understand the impact of fossil fuels on our climate or doesn't care frankly and doesn't understand that the energy future is a clean energy future and that in fact is where job growth is right now in the united states and where we projected to be happening in the u.s. in the coming decades and in fact where it has to be if we're going to address the climate crisis in a way that moves us off of a path toward a climate emergency to a climate destruction so right now what he didn't mention is that in fact renewable energy is cheaper than coal that's why we're seeing a shift away from coal in fact clean energy is cheaper than gas in many places or is competitive with gas and in fact if it wasn't subsidized we'd be shifting more toward wind power renewable energy so he's he's missing the mark on the economics he's missing the mark on where job growth could come from and frankly by. talking about the green new deal as bad for jobs he's clearly misunderstanding what this economy needs and that's an fusion of investment in clean energy jobs in environmental protection in real true access to clean air and clean water in communities that have been just invested from for decades like island michigan. and drop a few apologies but he does say he's a believer. that does have a great future and great prospects like us that something for you to cling on to. sure believing in solar energy is one thing i believe in climate change is one thing the fact is climate change is happening so energy is happening it's cost competitive so i don't really care if you believe it or not what i want to see is federal investment in solar energy and wind energy in provision of basic services like clean water he can talk about his belief all he wants but that's not actually putting money where these investments need to happen so that people in the america cross america have to have clean energy jobs have sustainable sector jobs and have clean water to drink. why do you think he's making this big statement right now i mean we have much time but there is some suggestion that actually climate change global climate change is something that the voters really do care about now. absolutely we're seeing massive amounts of people coming out and pulling saying that climate change than the top of their agenda i expect that he's talking about this right now because it's getting a lot of discussion in the democratic primary debates and conversations and in fact we're about to enter into what we we talk about here in the united states is climate disaster season wildfire season hurricane season we've seen floods across the midwest so people are feeling on a daily level how climate change impacts them and you know that means that time has to has to reflect that has to address

sealed the border trip and also continued to come in for. greece finally cleared the domine camp in may 2015 citing sanitation and safety. but that's not the whole story. we're heading towards a new refugee camp for the refugees from the many who are moved and we're going to meet most of their. most a face from aleppo and raced into many just as the border was closed. he spent 3 months there hoping and trying to cross before deltora this clear to camp and would you say are different dishes better here than in the domine like what. what was there there and what is better here yeah actually. here is very plausible is. it's what tech tool from the song from from. for the 10th years a big. bunch nobody knows how long we're going to stay and we get there given off on formation i wonder how long. a long it takes for. this enormous you know. the face taking us back to domine to explain why the camp was clear. and this is something i wasn't expecting. a motorway service station transformed by those refusing the government camps. the services allow them to stay but at the same time doing good business charging them for showers. now is 100 persons change the players are too so we're full of chance and no no one now only me. can you show us a bit how it looked like at the tracks. so refugees fence on all this place here right this one venue ice like full of dance. these tracks are the most important tool from greasy ports a crucial way for local companies and multinationals to get their goods into the heart of fuel. there's a train coming. so when the tents were here at this place there were no trains coming but yeah because like for 2 months there is not true way to try many times to bring the 3 and ask people to open it and nobody will but it's. do you think the refugees represented the problem of all the free moving of goods and products there is a ministry he can come here and you see there. in the room with. the tribes with many we told them that your your weeks are not more on board and that our children. when you open the border. so you're blocking the trains deliberately you know that if you are blocking the way. you will and the greeks they will start to react. the greek train company oil seed told us they couldn't move goods for $75.00 days costing them $20000000.00 in lost shipping. i think is the best metaphor for what's happening in europe today in the sense that people refugees who are fleeing from war and from war zones such as syria but also going to stand in iraq became a problem why because we're at the train track and they were blocking the train trip. so it became a problem for for the for a sions for also other countries not only greece because this way was blocked so on the one hand what you can see is the. refugees don't have the rights to move freely on the other hand gord's can move freely as far and as much as they want. but greece is subject to forces beyond its control. to global financial crash revealed that greece has taken out a mountain of loans from european banks. at the urging of european leaders europe's financial institutions gave greece the biggest lonely in history. and most of that money flowed straight back to the mainly french and german banks who kept encourage them to borrow. but the loan conditions required extreme osteria to state spending cuts so severe that the economy shrunk by a quarter of unemployment reached 27 percent prompting a huge rises was. another condition was must privatisation of all free. yes including the strategically important port. it is one of the most important ports in the mediterranean and 3 simply the greek government has sold 67 percent of the shares to a chinese company called. the docks are quiet today the sell off has prompted a better with the unions they say the troika of the international monetary fund the european central bank and the european commission are experimenting with a new kind of privatization. you would strike over the coming of the 20 days today were turned if they strike. the very going where going to trade unionists and me thinking since it's an international you know trying to use me think they very much interested thing the paper they say sure that this news thing there they still ports which is quiet here in houston since they're private i say even the port authority or at least city its fish features on the part of here knowing that this is the vietnam war getting their forecasts for the for the headquarters and it will be privatized the day after and this building we've been given to the costco. because costco doesn't recognize unions the doctors fear they will go from being skilled employees with secure jobs to temporary workers with no rights. can you explain what is the difference between the working conditions if the part of peters which is still old baby creek state park which is already all very forceful they are using a complex system of suffering thoughtless so there is no direct employment by costco. and precarious employment that means they work. 1215 days a month so there is no stable job for them there is no set in schemes of training professional or train show that's why there are frequent. action then saying mr we know this maybe also this more that we subcontracting expanded to other ports in europe the last 6 years greece is an experiment for adroit kind in the liberal policies. what they are tasting here they tried to export it in other countries in the european union. what we have seen in court today was is that the biggest historical achievements of the european project. such as collective bargaining such a trade union organizing minimal wages all of this is actually disintegrating. many blame the chinese company cost but i'm eating former greek finance minister yannis but a fact who has passed punishing inside information about europe's part in the deal . seems this is not working. yeah this is. amongst the 1st things i did in the ministry they one day to was to embark upon a. kind of silent negotiation with the chinese authorities and with the costco c.e.o. and we agreed to collective bargaining and were allowing trade unions to present workers for other board if they were given the rest of the port secondly they agreed on a spectacular investment program of anything between 25300000000 euros within 18 months that would have been a fantastic injection of capital of activity of jobs in the port of the us and finally most importantly they would prepared the chinese government to contribute to contribute to purchase a bond a new bond that we would issue as a minister of finance up to 10000000000 so frankly that would help us return to the markets and create effective a signal to the rest of the world that this is back now i thought there was a very good deed and guess what happened there was a telephone call from berlin to beijing saying keep of greece while you were negotiating with them and all deals were off because of course china is not going to jeopardize its relationship with the heart of europe. in order to seal a deal with us. currently the greek government is selling 67 percent of the part of the nose and under your deal it was supposed to be $51.00 right yes all those things that we had negotiated the dragon made sure that we're not part of the league just not want any european body from a country to even be to begin to imagine that if they voted people like us in they would get a better deal even for one person. although hugely important for greece is only a tiny part of the 35 year program of privatization across europe. sectors like railways energy cost banking and airlines were all part of the $1.00 trillion dollars of public assets privatized $1008.00. 100 margaret thatcher that led the charge for privatisation in europe. david hall has been studying the impact of it for over 30 years privatisation supposedly reduces prizes improve service and so on what has your experience and your studies it doesn't reduce prices and it usually doesn't improve services and in many cases it services worse. that's the basis on which prostrations always sold but immediately people have experience a product as almost the 1st thing that happens is that prices go up prices go up because the private companies are taken over or in the business of restructuring it to generate. returns that the public company didn't get. which might explain why it's usually made it popular resistance but it's almost always forced through when you tell us well taking the referendum where clause promoting water privatization. the government tried to reintroduce that i left that water utilities in private. why do you think that most of the governments in europe but also in latin america and the states still stick to this kind of economic model privatisations are seen as an easy way of getting large amounts of money into government so you can use it either true or to reduce taxes and that's half actually used and that's how again the going governments do it and that's how for example countries like greece are being instructed to use it by the i.m.f. this is this is this is the core purpose of proposition a great concept system generate revenue to reduce the debt. and once something is in private hands it is at the risk of takeover by larger often foreign companies. i mean romania there recently protested against water and held privatization but nothing seems to get them as worked up as their forests. has been handed back to private owners they've been heavily exploited by international investment firms and european would processing companies. on the border to be transferred when he's one of the forest that has been decimated. it's be replaceable according to the lawyer representing forest owners who may now have the last intact through a forest landscape where the man has nothing to envy and least for a start. today are they are not protected. how far away is it actually one hour or depend on. their old one hour and a half day legal clear cutting mainly happens in remote places high up in the mountains. romania was a colony of the get real name and now is the. in forest country do you see it with you again it would appear a failure for john. to relative poverty means cutting gangs can exploit forest country can't afford to protect. the sea well he's known for it oh yeah you see it. here you can walk so this is it finally and. from here we don't see it. it's bigger and it's what we can see here is completely illegal. usually you are not allowed to cart to more than 300 or so forest you cut and how big is this approximately. 15200 pictures of forest and tired are gone and you know we need it now they are still cutting it they cut to every day since when did this start and what is the scale of this clear cutting in romania the big one it's beginning after 20022003. that was the moment when there's company or ponder 1st factory. in our back on the austrian company whole stanch 543 are now romania's largest wood processor they don't cut the woods themselves but they are able to offer a relative fortune to those who will mostly this clear cut down by you know when young people the gang. these forests forged the documents and when they reached the factory they had some documents to show them didn't address picked any lower. but at the factory some didn't even need forged documents. their own mental investigation agency posed as a cutting gang willing to ignore the law something that didn't present a problem for my. little bit concerns me using rigidity fever that we have to reduce or be your least not what we get it from from our side. you decide what you want. we ask her for an interview but they declined so we turned to chance a green activist who has been. one of their employees a manager has admitted that if they're on at full capacity there's no place for other processes on the market can you tell us once they end up in this factory where do they go this sawmill is actually slicing up the logs they make planks out of it and then they exported worldwide. china and japan arab countries even usa it's a world market a main problem is the fact that there's not much left for us the added value happens somewhere douse the jobs happen so to say some white house all of this exploitation of nature is happening in romania but nothing stays here it actually goes to other countries right yeah you stay in this in this vicious circle ok of selling more and more resources at the price that is being. created or fixed somewhat ouse outside of your country and yet you stay in a dependency of those resources and you destroy your nature and you destroy your livelihood. this makes me wonder whether we can speak about a new kind of relationship which is very similar to the relationship which we had during dol soon gagnon one of. you have them you have western europe all soon companies german companies french companies are cutting forests all around remaining in the pedophile. and then they are importing them to europe. and he's using the natural resources not only forest but health care system education water and they are expecting in order to sort the sensor. so could we say that europe is actually polarizing itself. aargh. he lived in brazil's largest for that. one day the police king. like thousands of others he disappeared. witness follows a family's epic struggle for justice which became a national cause and sent shock waves through the upper echelons of the political establishment in

administration's environmental achievements trying claims america is quote leading the world on the issue of the spy contrary evidence by the environmental protection agency he claimed all the signatories of the paris climate agreement which he pulled out of are behind the united states in reducing emissions and called the deal unfair and ineffective we're doing a very tough job and not everybody knows it and that's one of the reasons we're here today to speak to you every single one of the signatories to the paris climate accord lags behind america in overall emissions reductions who would think that it's possible but this reason in my 1st year in office i withdrew the united states from the unfair ineffective and very very expensive paris climate accord. the head of iran's

child soldiers the gander is now facing a possible life sentence those are the headlines europe's forbidden connie continues next. 2 2 2 2 2 in part one we saw how the richest countries of europe are extracting the resources of smaller paratroop countries like greece and romania in what could be described as a colonial with. it's quite interesting to look back the 1st globalization the 8090 s. the late 19th century. where you got a very similar picture of british french german. companies. investing around the world in. some time with the same concept as christine was just as a starting not. just as then the companies buying up the sectors have close links to the state like energy giants e.d.f. owned by the french government and what in full on by sweden but it's not limited to just european companies and governments europe is also facilitating a colonization by larger forces. sociologists and says fine and the abstract idea of making money from money is the real power in the world today. one way in which i would put it is that we're really dealing with with a period that is dominated by a large of extract that is not the language they use it sounds much better if you say privatization and deregulation that's sounds like such a intelligent and and sober way to go about it when you say finance google and all kinds of other sectors are extract sect. that doesn't feel so good it feels like something is getting taken out of the financial system it might as well be mining it has to go into other sectors and extract which makes it particularly dangerous unlike say more traditional forms of investment and corporate is that it can extract. not just from the very rich but from anything including very modest step. yet even dogs who once reported the free market are worried. you know centuries old the old also from gary an emperor former politician gosh but how much campaign for hunger is transition from communism to the free market. that he was 40 fight when that led to millions losing their jobs he puts this recent trend into historical context but the. the so this is the same continent as him without responsibility without the political project without the royal navy without the reduced raj without introducing this and that this is just sheer economic and barely growth force being applied. without any kind of responsibility and any kind of. idea about economy future whatever to the weak a conscience so basically i mean this is going to force them only listen because call only ways in many ways twice this is a politics of totally responsibility it's cheating everything and everybody in the same manner maximizing profits and neglecting strategy. and you know this is not the code you know corrupt company or a little general motors or the old standard oil that had some sort of policy that had some sort of construction that has been you know threshed out of the political for ideas and so on so forth these companies today didn't have any policy not even a wrong one not even an evil one they just want they just want the money. much of that money flows through the city of london europe's biggest financial center. but how long london will retain that position is i'm not his britain wall today in the referendum to leave the e.u. in june 2016. this utterly stunned the british and european establishment who blamed it on the economic laws or who they say are also in a fog. but britain was also the pioneer of privatisation in europe especially in places like poor tolbert in wales . the last surviving blast furnace of britain's once mighty steel industry this facility was sold off in the eighty's and is now owned by the indian giant. periodical trade into pose so i wonder is it really immigration or economics behind bricks. the ratio of us immigration it's not just a case of they come in over and say can i want jobs are jobs that they've taken because people don't want to him anymore farmers will tell you our farmers cannot get people to go into a field and pick tater will pick sprouts or whatever it might be just because we come out of europe doesn't mean to say it was you know to solve the problem. because if you still can't get people to pick the stripes or to pick the fruits then you know they're people into doing. what is the importance and significance of the steel factory. and how it all could change if those would be there things on ordinary citizens for families and so i want well paul told bush to risk all the other downstream suppliers that we've got you know we don't trust road which is 50 mile down the road that has every single heins team in this country originates from ports over and is then tinned in trust to the effect in the economy of you all of sense where this could be symbiotic if anything happened to the knock on effect would be incredible you call it shops headdresses pichler stations self employed people you builders you carpenters all these people rely on the steel works because the people work if you feed them as well and if you water to remain. on the referendum. you're going to get. i'll be honest i am very disillusioned with . the. parliamentary processes that go on stage where. the closely just turn me off completely off i walk into walked. into t.t. to play a bit where you know i think. shop a great show that's where i. am for a change as much as in the rocky play vandalism cheer. and people have nothing to lose. so it isn't the immigration they're angry about but the colonial style extraction britain has practiced on itself for 35 years the efforts of which are all of us in mark's hometown of tredegar which lost its steel mill in 2013. and all of this is now both permanent i don't know this but what was it before. it was fantasy to farai into things in a laundromat he was and how is this connected with the steel works because this is sansa i mean last 2 years people can't afford to buy the product so use the same system because now if you look around to see if i take away the trash that. this is the kind of place supposedly full of hatred for immigrants but it seems that resentment of foreigners has little to do with their anger at the e.u. in the pub i find out what the issue really is prepared for an economics lesson welsh style. in which all the new low in the liberal economic model full employment is now not of vital importance it's fatal to communities like this where full employment and and industry were so important and the result is poverty crime and. and the only research in inequalities in which the neo litany are liberal never has or has caused one major issue the change you've got companies will be given countries so we've got a choice for that crossroads jew except that we're going down a road of this neo liberal leaning neo liberalism is a myth of global corporations which then start to rule the world or we're going to start going well actually no i can't be allowed to what we got to get back to is assets that a british assets that the french assets the german a controlled by those states know the biggest freight. company in this country is german all our water companies or electrical cars in the east are all foreign surely that can't be right their finger after a break ok want to be. open to the dangers of globalization nearly burst a wall or big companies will still be hearing you have the opportunity for x. but they are way same with the arena well right this would really make a big big difference because they control it whatever. how can this colonial process of dispossession be taking place in such a massive scale without becoming headline news. well this 21st century colonialism doesn't ride into town waving a national flag he just seems to happen. but it's actually the result of institutions and rules designed to be shipped and. i'm going to try and unravel this beginning at the port of call if you're going to hurt. the so-called. jungle. which is a refugee camp in. jungle is home to those trying to cross the 20 miles of sea between here and britain i was sitting between the french government's regular attempts to clear it at a time when it's still growing. you can still see 3000 people here who are in a kind of limbaugh people from syria afghanistan africa iraq and all those countries from war zones on the other hand everything is being done to preserve the flea floating off. to your eternal connects britain to europe and covers over $100000000000.00 of trade a year. junkie is the director of public affairs. so while the channel tunnel carries a last live value the perishable the just in time components for manufacturing express deliveries the internet retail so companies can actually manage their stock in a constantly moving process that saves them from having warehousing saves them enormous costs and it means that they can have these integrated businesses that operate across the whole of europe. the pole area after the 5 kilometers is like this. previously we had to the boundary fence sort of thing you see around any factory or any industrial site then. people started to try and break down the fences so the answer was increased the caller says these are the standard high security fences a very difficult cut very different crime so we now have a very sophisticated fencing and surveillance operation. and since october last year we've had no disruption from the migrant crisis so what about the refugees who came from syria from either mainly from we were actually also trying justify the better life their future problems is something which is a geopolitical issue so we're we're company in the business that operates between folks in culling we're not we don't have a role a major role in solving the refugee crisis that's for governments international institutions to move to manage we have a role a responsibility to our customers to our shareholders to our own staff and to anybody who's on our side. euro tunnel security is now a seamless operation involving french and u.k. forces a relationship established only after the company sued the government in a special for putting forth over questions as to exactly where that responsibility cut in and what how much was considerate on a share. and so. there was a case in the international proper tradition. in 2001 the 1st to set the record for the state of that responsibility. obviously from the perspective of the company you're a title it makes sense to ask the course to be covered from the state because in the 1st place the state was responsible for the refugee crisis but it's very interesting to see what is precisely the mechanism which is being used here in order to get the costs being covered by the state. court of arbitration or to britain and france to pay your eternal $25000000.00 for the cost of securing against migrants in the late ninety's. this is highly controversial song going to the heart of the e.u. brussels to talk to someone who knows how the secret process this war. that court this part of the investor state dispute settlement mechanism known as the ice d.s. which allows companies to sue states when their profits are dreadful. the whole point about the investor state dispute mechanism is that it runs outside the court system it's about a special sort of law for big corporations i.z.'s is part of that if you're right i still say it's part of the t.t. ip so for most of the ordinary people if you mention something such as to tip. their. not understand what it is about ok with a tip is the transatlantic trade and investment partnership and it's a major trade deal on the board being discussed now between the european union and the united states it has all sorts of implications you know from the food you ate the medicines you take the vehicles that you drive the energy that you have animal welfare whether you want to keep genetically modified organisms out of your crops you know if the worst comes to the worst and some of the big corporations get what they want this really is a could be a potential real rollback of a lot of the very valuable legislation that a lot of people who over the years to get in the european union. followed by. supporters on the other hand say that harmonization of regulations will grow the european economy by tens of billions of dollars a year. so i thought it would be sensible to see the document and gene agreed to take me to the reading room for members of the european parliament it's not open to the public in any sort of way. you only get access to the documents if the institution has documents they are gives you permission. going. so if the united states says we're not willing to let you see our documents you don't going to see that. it's taken a massive european wide grassroots campaign for a me piece to be allowed to see the text of the t.t.p. agreement. and even now it was pulling hard to find. that's that's the number that i was going to blow up there may be no where is that if you're already the living room yeah because what we were told was forcing some to the history that's not for. you know no ok. i came. back they only got half instructions it's opposite force the 17 ok let's show you that you get to go to the over there was. no it's not that one line up at the top of that place then it's you want to. go you know movie go to the. yes and no she says we can't film here because there was very little money what is this that if you. know . he confirms it is there all the huge trade agreement is behind and find a bill unmarked door with a security keypad. thanks as a minister of finance of greece of one of the member states who was affected by these negotiations i had to sign a non-disclosure agreement promising that i would not reveal to my constituents to my voters that which i read if i was allowed to have a look at those negotiating documents this is preposterous and this is this is this is a v another moment of the democratic process representatives in a representative democracy keeping the de most of the opposite very present in complete darkness about what they're saying on their behalf. so why all the secrecy we can leaks has exposed the t.t.p. and its siblings the transpacific partnership and a similar deal covering services so we're going to wrest control in terms. for dorrian embassy in london he explains why we only know about disagreements from leaks. these big teeth 3 agreements peter beattie i think and p.p.p. . kept secret because otherwise they're windrush democratic opposition the population and i won't be possible to negotiate you can come to conclusion i mean it's pretty obvious what do they tell us about the new global order and what their deaths on democracy these are the most significant. plan to reorder the legal and economic structure of the west and friends. at least since the construction of europe the nature of the agreements is a construction of a new legal and economic block or ultra neo liberal system which will which will cement culture near liberalism within your and a wide range of other countries in treaty form and treaties are very very hard to change because you need agreement of all the countries participating they treated change it so it is that the end of any other political project because only by violating the rule of law by tearing up these treaties that you agree to that in fact you can proceed in a different political direction i don't think this process could be described as colonialism as a new kind in a way of colonialism yes it's a new multinational colonialism heinies. these trade agreements reveal hidden mechanisms to reach europe this on the one hand colonized by multinational companies and financial institutions and on the other hand colonizing itself. however these very same forces are behind a more traditional style of colonization which is not through trade agreements but for bombs and wars. the u.s. british and french air strikes against president at the half in libya in 2011 swept away a regime that was controlling migrant flows from africa into least huge amounts of weapons into an already unstable region. the females suggest the real reasons for francis involvement are less than humanitarian. gadhafi had accumulated more than 143 tons of gold and was planning to use this to introduce. an african dyna as an alternative currency to the franc in francophone africa so this was a threat to french colonial worst. desires within the francophone countries. this reveals precisely how the refugees are linked to europe's economic crisis apart from being some kind of a natural disaster as for or a flood it is europe's colonial behavior abroad that forces them to make that dangerous journey. and carry a philosopher agnes heller has lived through a lot of european history including losing her father in auschwitz she says the refugees challenge europe's core idea of itself. in. order the end of 1st class situation of france to write to rights became lex lots of hurt in the constitution the right of man don and the right of the citizen drug to sit so i am the program yes now does that add in a conflict situation in iraq to do other men. and right would the basic goal of blank us to think or done a future yes because the ad indeed the men like us they are like asked the border with reason and conscience and he cut right to liberty there and to fear and to all kind of freedoms and to live just like us so we have to lead them in and they are the hand the inventor's also the right of citizens in their country and is their citizens should decide who can and their territory or not this is the right told us it is at the 1st time in our history short of his started 200 years has led it is still current that the right of man and the right of his insistence or. each other of course you good government can persuade a citizen to give priority to him and rights a bad government like us where is who is the citizen not to forget our job to my mates general. so maybe the danger they pose is not that one or even 2000000 people could overwhelm a continent of over 500000000 but because admitting we should provide for these fellow cubans would reveal how europe's own citizens have been stripped of their resources and democracy by this financial colonization. and it is all to look at how the anger and frustration this generates is misplaced itself political on both sides. the spectrum. and search out some hope for europe's future. we don't want the state involved because this is a. movement of people in fact in charge of one here not from the right to do. 2 2 what went wrong in society that opened up the space for un peace ima get a ration is the european parliament it's not accountable and it's impossible for the people to bear that is falling apart people don't want to take more than lead and if so find a stronger man or song woman who was getting the growth of rejectionism of this world because the model doesn't work europe's forbidden colony episode 2 on al-jazeera. hello again or welcome back we're here across the

which he pulled out of but from speech contradicted evidence from the environmental protection agency and green groups have criticized the some of his comments as her fantasy we're doing a very tough job and not everybody knows it and that's one of the reasons we're here today to speak to you every single one of the signatories to the paris climate accord legs behind america in overall emissions reductions who would think that it's possible for this reason in my 1st year in office i withdrew the united states from the unfair ineffective and very very expensive paris climate accord ok well let's get reaction to that speech let's start with alan fischer live in washington d.c. for a summit allan did he promise anything concrete did he say anything that we hadn't heard before. no there is nothing new in the speech atoll except donald trump patting himself on the back for his stewardship of the environment he says that america has the cleanest air in the world actually doesn't it is one of the cleanest but not the cleanest and says they have the cleanest water in the world one of the countries on the normal metric that is used to judge that right at the top there but he says things are getting better under his stewardship while it's interesting to note that just in the last 2 years the number of bad air days that's with pollution in the year have actually increased particularly when you compare it to the 4 years before donald trump also says that the united states is doing better than any other country when it comes to cutting emissions and of course they have to start at much higher level because they are the world's 2nd largest polluter he talked about the clean up of the oceans and getting the plastic out of there that is something that has been given bipartisan support but he and he's also talked about how he's built a strong economy with the lowest unemployment that was seen in 50 years while also building up energy but the e.p.a. his own environmental protection agency has reduced some of the guidelines on emissions not just for power plants but also for cars which many people will tell you will make air pollution much worse and the interesting thing is he never a tall addressed the question of climate change which he's done numerous times when he was running for president he called it in fact a hoax that it was something invented by the chinese to damage the u.s. economy and many people including his own department of defense has said look climate change is a real threat to the strategic interests of the united states it's going to cost there's a lot more money it's going to cost is a lot more when we're sending troops somewhere and therefore it has to be dealt with and it's interesting to note 3 of the 5 most expensive hurricane to hit the united states have come in the last 2 years that of course is joining the trump presidency and allen and climate change and the environment in general have been a big topic with the democratic presidential candidates but when it comes to trump and his base how much does it impact home i mean why is he chose and to give this speech now. well donald trump took this speech as a chance to slam the obama administration saying that they put too many restrictions on business and not lead to jobs not being produced as quickly as possible he slammed democrats in the house of representatives saying that their green new deal would cost jobs it would cost billions and billions of dollars which he said the country simply couldn't afford to do and he understands that climate is going to be a hot button topic during the election campaign but it's never been something that republicans have been particularly strong on but we're told he chose today to make this statement because he was under pressure from his daughter who is also a senior advisor and from his son in law also a senior advisor jerry commissioner and it was. pushed donald trump not to pull out of the party's climate accord but of course that was one of the 1st things he did on the environment when he took over something he promised he would do as far as he's concerned of these bases concerned that is a promise made and promise delivered he will continue to talk about how the trumpet ministration produces the cleanest water crystal clear water sharp is also a word to use to describe water and the cleanest air he says that's important but all the factors all the metrics say that that is not quite the case and it needs a bit of manipulation to give donald trump the talking points that he's pushed forward in the last hour or so alan fischer with the latest there from the white house allan as always thank you we're going to have more on this later in the news hour including from the u.s. state of alaska where rising temperatures are melting glass here is at the fastest rate in central plus the u.n. says a growing number of syrian children are being killed in the fighting in rebel held the labor and sport kenya makes its case to become a destination for the world's best rally drivers. but 1st the white house says president trump has discussed the iran nuclear situation with his french counterpart and. the un's atomic watchdog meanwhile has confirmed that iran has now surpassed the cap in which the rainy i'm allowed under the 2015 nuclear deal or diplomatic editor james bays has more from washington d.c. . just hours after iran announced it was increasing the level of its uranium enrichment beyond that stipulated in the 2050 nuclear deal the us vice president gave washington's response iran should not confuse american restraint with a lack of american resolve. we will be the 1st with the united states of america and our military are prepared to protect our interests and protect our personnel and our citizens in the region the iranians are unlikely to be cowed by that in fact the main audience for their announcement that they will now enrich uranium up to the level of 5 percent was probably european nations the e.u. is still supportive of the nuclear deal and has been devising something called in stakes a work around mechanism that would allow iran to trade and to sell its oil to e.u. and other nations without them incurring u.s. sanctions it's trying to kick the europeans in their posterity or if i can put it that way europe has been very slow to find a way to continue to trade with iran that would not violate u.s. sanctions that would somehow get around u.s. sanctions the tense standoff between the u.s. and iran shows no sign of easing the situation is likely to be high on the agenda one of the important regional player comes to the white house. the emyr of qatar shake time in been hammered over. for me at the pentagon he leads a nation

senator beirut let's go back to our top story now and that is the u.s. president donald trump's speech on the environment which he gave at the white house about 2 hours ago and now let's speak to janet redmond climate campaign director of greenpeace usa she joins us live now from washington d.c. madam welcome to al-jazeera just a few points that i can bring out now from the speech he said his administration's environmental record is leading in the world and donald trump also mentioned that america can fight pollution and at the same time promote fo'c'sle fuels what do you make of that common of those comments and of his speech in general. well he's got it totally wrong obviously the u.s. can be an environmental leader and in fact should be an environmental leader what he should have said was that there's no conflict between growing jobs and a renewable energy future the fossil fuel energy is an energy system of the past and in fact we know we have to move past that if we want to deal and address the most egregious impacts of climate change which are seeing unfolding across the u.s. right now impacting families every single day and we're seeing roll out around the world so john jump
