uruguayan capital montevideo, where in the next hour or so european commission chief ursula von der leyen hopes to sign a massive trade deal, two decades in the making, with south american nations. it would slash tariffs and other trade barriers between the eu and the maircosur common market — which includes argentina and brazil. but it faces fierce opposition from many in europe — more on that in a moment. so how big a deal would this be? significantly if the deal can be done. but that is a big if. european farmers fear a flood of cheap produce coming into europe from south america — especially beef. a majority of eu nations have to agree the deal to ratify it. germany and spain are in favour — but france has already said it won't play ball — as has italy in the last hour — rejectring it in its current form. joining me now is independent global economist azad zangana. it doesn't matter what eu chief does — members states need to agree. as 65% of the population and a majority of states need to say yes. with italy now against — it looks like the numbers may be tight to get this through? it

we've had the reelection of ursula bundle leon -- von de leyen at the commission. was reading a blockbuster piece of reading this morning called europe's choice political guidelines for the next european commission. and this may not sound like hot reading material, but this sets out some things that this would've seemed extraordinary a few years ago because it sets out plans for a defense union. and if i'd said to you two years ago or to any of us, the european union will be funding the production of shells that we will give to ukraine to kill russians, we would've thought this is a good short story. this is funny. but here you are. we have a document in which you are setting out plans for a defense union. you are asking countries to buy 60% of their equipment from within the union, which is a very difficult target. you are talking about a european air shield i just read about in this document as well. so first of all, tell us what's the ambition here, but also how can you persuade general cavoli but also nato partners that this is not going to be duplicative or a

(sot) china. 2024 is drawing to a close and when it comes to elections it has been a history—making year. there have beeen more general elections this year across the globe than in any other year impacting more than half the world's population. and there is more to come. this week it is ghana's turn — with the west african country going to the polls on saturday to elect a new president and parliament. daniel dadzie has the details. this year has been a year of elections. every single day, i will be fighting for

to treat now, because european commission president ursula von der leyen is pushing for a huge trade signed, saying the finish line is in sight. she has arrived at the summit of the nickel so common market in europe to try and seal the agreement after almost a quarter of a century of talks. many european farmers are bitterly opposed to a deal this, which includes the likes of argentina and brazil, because they fear of cheap imports into europe. france�*s president macron called the deal unacceptable, and there is also an ease from argentina�*s populist president, as trade expert told us earlier. in relation _ expert told us earlier. in relation to happier malay, the president of argentina, it is expected to some extent that you will have a disagreement, but he has made it very clear that if this agreement does not happen this time, he might either leave, orask happen this time, he might either leave, or ask for a change of role so that argentina can develop trade agreements of the united states and china. == agreements of the united states and china. , . ~ �* and china. -- javier mil

european commission president ursula von der leyen has condemned the "brutal and cowardly act".ned the suspect is saudi, well the foreign ministry in saudia arabia condemned the attack, with the kingdom expressing "solidarity with the german people and the families of the victims". 0ur correspondent is at the scene. just describe what the scene. just describe what the scene is like there this morning. scene is like there this morning-— scene is like there this morninu. ~ , ., morning. well, this morning it is sombre. _ morning. well, this morning it is sombre, sad, _ morning. well, this morning it is sombre, sad, people - morning. well, this morning it is sombre, sad, people are . is sombre, sad, people are milling around, looking at the site behind me, where the attack happened. and indeed, officials are describing this as an attack. what we can surmise from what we have seen, and having talked to people here, is that the car drove along this main road beside me, and then swerved into the christmas market, ploughing through the crowds who were enjoying a festive drink. it seeme

and we strongly support the commitment that the eu has made which president von der leyen has affirmede decoupling from russian energy supplies by 2027. that's going to require continued progress now, especially on issues of russian lng. but these are topics where there's a high degree of convergence between the united states, between washington and brussels, and an area where we're confident that there is a consensus across the transatlantic community. and i think that consensus is going to continue through the political transition in the united states as reflected in the first phone call between president-elect trump and president von der leyen. >> now, we are currently witnessing the end of an important political mandate in the united states. a new president is going to take over in the new year. i would like to understand here is what is your message to the incoming administration in case they consider rolling back some of these measures that you've actually been working on? >> so, i have seen no suggestion that people around president trump and his incoming administration are look

topping this list this year is the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen.third. it's the magazine's 21st annual ranking, with the first released back in 2004. that's it from me and the team here. thank you so much for watching. ben brown is waiting in the wings with the context. do stay with us, but now the weather. hello there. it's across scotland where there's been the best of the sunshine over the last few days. a beautiful scene here in perth and kinross, although it has been cold. temperatures overnight well below freezing, a rather frosty day for many. elsewhere, it's been the cloud which has been stubborn. a few breaks in that cloud in staffordshire to bring a bit of brightness for a time, but as we go through tonight, really not a great deal of change. there'll be a lot more cloud across england, wales and northern ireland. scotland still seeing some mist and fog patches in central areas, but largely clear skies again and temperatures will drop away quite quickly through tonight, so there'll be a widespread frost. we could see those temperatures as

we heard from ursula von der leyen saying them a message his full support for ukraine as long as it takesthis means getting more arms shipments, but there is not a great deal of optimism that they will bring a lot more to ukraine given how long this has been going on and how long they've been trying to mobilize some of these things. the concern is the focus on losing things and potentially losing the ability to continue to roll on these sanctions. there are been a 50 rounds of sanctions on russia. these are re-upped every six months. that requires a unanimous vote from all 26 member states, and orban has said he will not be in favor of rolling them over until the inauguration of president trump. it comes 11 days before the deadline to roll the sanctions over once more, so this will be a large concern, and over this entire meeting the big question looming over every single question in europe is donald trump, and leaders do not want to give a lot in terms of what they think their policy approach should be to trump. everyone is in a wait and see mode in europe, which is not a strong position

plus, patience is a virtue: eu chief von der leyen is in south america seeking

viktor orban, ursula von der leyen? is going to be the powerbroker in the new political architecture. that's the main question. lisa: when i read this from donald trump, i thought to myself, isn't this what everybody would like? when he put a pause on licensing for lng licensing? europe would like to export more, u.s. from producers would like to export more from them. does this have to be i will tariff you if you don't eat your candy? oliver: again, the way that will kennedy put it, this is pushing the open door. this is something that everybody is aligned on and everybody would like to do. from that perspective, there basically will be little resistance, an easy win for governments. they need to secure that energy. there's no way that they will continue to get this russian gas but basically, all of those concepts are dead, so you still have another deficit that needs to get plugged, and it is cap most conveniently from a geopolitical standpoint and you can gain favor from donald trump by buying more american. jonathan

i think there are times that's difficult, of course, but i think president von der leyen has a visionnd she knows where she goes. she really wants to change that to have a more growth and productivity focused europe. >> we shall find out over the next five years. i would like to dig deeper on what you highlighted in terms of the draghi report. one of the aspects he raised is the need to spend more. the hawkish view is there is enough money when you think of the eu budget and thinking about the covid funds. is the problem here the fiscal position for european countries to do more or is actually the bureaucracy? you, yourself, have highlighted struggle to get hold of the covid funds. >> i think there was a major step. europe always advances in crisis. there was a major step with covid that all of the countries agreed on really getting a mutualization of debt and the 750 billion. the door opened for that. the net contributors, some big and also some are not that big, i don't think there is any big country in europe today, they are all small countries. they realized we are all together an

. >> another issue is the trade deal that was just signed on friday with ursula von der leyen pugh get netherlands has been quite concerned on some of the issues in agriculture. what is your position? are you ready to oppose the deal? >> we don't have a position yet. i haven't seen the final agreement. i think it is published today. we will study it and come to a position. >> have you been talking to your friends counterpart, the italian counterparts? they are the ones who are raising the greatest amount of objection? >> it's not a big topic yet. everyone is waiting for the final agreement. >> what are your hopes for the relationship with the united kingdom going forward? do you see any concrete paths forward there? >> i think it's very good that rachel reeves, who was here in euro group, made a statement. she wants to restate the relationship. she's looking for cooperation which i embrace. the u.k. is an important partner. it's a neighboring country. we share a lot of interests in security and economics. i'm pleased that they are looking for cooperation. the discussion was also about

we don't expect anything to happen and suddenly friday this deal signed between ursula von der leyensur countries, argentina, paraguay and uruguay. this huge trading deal would cover 780 million people. the biggest trading deal the eu and those countries have ever signed. this could have very large economic ramifications. there are many countries within the eu that are happy to have this happen, particularly the germans. i sat down with the german finance minister on friday and he told me this about the deal. >> it is part of this strategy of de-risking from china and diversifying, so from a geopolitical perspective, it would be hugely important to send this signal of cooperation to the merck & co. sewer -- mercosur countries. >> opening up geopolitical trade relations with germany very focused because of the deterioration but donald trump coming into office if they slap tariffs, you have a greater number of countries you can trade with, that insulates you to a certain degree, there is a lot of concern around the agricultural sector, the french objected to this, this deal is still bl

while european commission president ursula von der leyen said that her thoughts are with the victimsthis brutal and cowardly act, she said the attack must be investigated and severely punished. german officials say the suspect rented the car that was used in the attack. cnn's senior national security analyst juliette kayyem explains that could provide valuable clues to investigators well, the the fact that they have the car is going to tell them a lot, not just the rental, but who rented it. >> when was it rented, how much thought went into this? that then will give you a sense of of of how much planning and whether others were involved. the assailants, the killers ties to germany were deep. he had been there almost 20 years. you are not talking of the sort of, you know, is it a syrian refugee or is it a young person, you know, recently from another part of the country who got radicalized? it's that deepness of of ties to germany, a profession we don't know about. family. uh, presumably an income that is that is different about this. and so that's what they're going to be looking to.

ursula von der leyen, after president trump was elected said maybe we can blunt some of these tariffsng. is this something you foresee happening? how policy can meet demand of the market? dan: i think so. europe has to figure this out because they are for lack of a better word subservient to this market. it is the great irony of the last couple years that in an effort to diversify itself away it ended up becoming susceptible to this type of market develop meant. say what you will about the united states and our slower adoption. we are in and in beal position relative to europe with respect -- we are in an and feel position -- in an enviable decision with respect to europe. it is a story that will evolve. i pray as a citizen of earth they make the correct decisions. annmarie: also under surveillance christmas day bringing netflix -- bringing ratings joy to the nfl netflix debut as well as the nba. the nba's five-game lineup marked a five-year high and netflix to an average audience of more than $24 million for its two games late, setting a record for nfl streaming. a lot had to do with

but you have seen that the prime minister is going to meet miss von der leyen, the president of the european spring next year. and then we will start talking about the whole reset, because so far it could not be done. why? because the european commission was not up and working. it was just confirmed some days ago. and so in spring we are going to start these talks and will this be on these talks and will this be on the agenda? >> freedom of movement for under 30s. >> there will be many things on the agenda. the security pact, which is proposed by the british government. so cooperation on a wide area of topics respecting obviously the red lines, but including the idea of under 30, it will be included. yes. and also the question of erasmus programme, where the united kingdom in the last minute opted out of it. so all of these things will be again on the table. >> well, joining us now to discuss this story is gb news political editor. you saw him in the video. he's now here in the studio. and chris the eu are desperate to restore this freedom of movement for under 30s aren't they. >> they are.

at number one, ursula von der leyen, the president of the european commission, just re-elected to the the role. she won by a large margin in june and we'll be watching her in the new year as the trump administration enacts tariffs. >> absolutely. >> so we have a lot of women. also alongside her, newcomers to her list, rachel reaves, uk chancellor of the exexecer, the british equivalent of the treasury secretary. the first woman in 800 years to hold that role. number 39 on the list. at 55, we have bonnie chan, the ceo of the hong kong exchanges and clearing which operates the hong kong stock exchange the ninth largest in the world. so significant financial power. and if i can just get one more in, we have breaking news at forbes, we are today announcing our first-ever female ceo, sherry phillips has been announced as the next ceo taking the role in january. first in 107 years. >> well, there you go. that's amazing news. congratulations to sherry. so huma, a number of women in politics and policy also made the list. many who rode a populist wave to their positions in power. so what can
