president macron really did ina his view?atter which is the amazon. we do not appreciate the weight was treated. it doesn't seem to be correct. but in any event, the g7 isa to be correct. but in any event, the g7 is a group that we have strong relationships so we do welcome very much these funds. more than 75,000 fires have been recorded in brazil so far in 2019, most of them in the amazon region. wildfires often occur in the dry season in brazil, but according to brazil's national institute for space research, satellite data has shown an increase of 85% this year. let me show now what the situation is like on the ground in brazil. these aerial shots taken from a greenpeace plane over the weekend show large swathes of the amazon rainforest reduced to blackened charred remains. here, you can see firefighters struggling to put out the flames in the northern state of rondonia. brazil's defence ministry says a4,000 troops have been made available to help put out the fires. the brazilian air force has released these pictures showi

min the appeal of ted of macron to do this and very insincere. -- very manipulative of macron to do thisncere. have we seen rapprochement between trump and macron, who in the past, have seen some awkward moments themselves? jon: it started with this impromptu lunch when president trump arrived. the two of us, let's have a conversation alone. they had a long conversation, the president has gushed about how good of a conversation it was. macron, in a way, was taking away the president's power, his ability to say no, so the summit did not present abilities for the president to say no, the way that they choreograph the iran meeting. in many ways, i think president macron tried to show we don't need the united states to do things that we need to do. we need to have the united states not opposing us. then as i see the whole weekend, an effort to get the president to at least not oppose the things that france thought it was vital for the g7 to move forward on. shery: he even preempted a potential conflict by announcing a communique. a joint statement where they said they were open, just global

nownuel macron is preparing to greet boris johnson.the meantime, let's go to our guest, john, a p professor of politics at t the universrsity n the u.k.. thank you for your time. i must start by warning you we might have to cut this interview short when boris johnson arrives, we are expecting macron and johnson to address the media . i apologize in advance for that. what is boris johnson hoping to achieve on this visit? is it about looking to -- looking good to a domestic audience by making french -- the french look intransigent? convey thating to -- if suchvernment deal cannot be reached and try to underline the opinion that the u.k. has that the termination. secondly, he is clearly trying to see if there is some room to maneuver. claire: i am sorry, i am going to have to leave it there. for this first visit to france after becoming prime minister, we have had telephone conversations in the past, notably after becoming prime minister and i am delighted to have the opportunity today to have lengthier discussions. the relationship betwe

want to be seen emmanuel macron does not want to be seen as emmanuel macron does not want to be seeneam—rolling towards a new deal brexit and no one in the eu wa nts deal brexit and no one in the eu wants that on their hands and it is still seen as very likely and graded by number ten but what it has done is let him reinvigorate the process and certainly our readers will look at it and say, we have seen theresa may do so many of these meetings to go out and meet emmanuel macron and merkel and shake hands and then be maximum you created council meetings. borisjohnson you could argue, if anyone can find some solution maybe he can and maybe he can convince them and have a good rapport with emmanuel macron but as they rightly say, what can they actually come up with in the last 30 days and probably even less. maybe 29. let's look at the metro because there headline as there headline as the irony of today, when you look at what he is saying he almost said both things, he has said the backstop is indispensable but he has also said i welcome what angela merkel was saying and we can find a s

, macron saw fit to invite him here, president trump simply said no comment. president did have a lot more to say, though, about the agreement in principle for new trade deal with japan, the president hoping to sign that deal at the united nations' generally assembly in new york city late september. the deal will see japan see increase agricultural products like corn, beef and wine, listen here. >> we are hard down the line, we agree today every point and now we are papering it and will be signing it at a formal ceremony and i just want to thank prime minister abe and the japanese people, you've been fantastic friends and we very much appreciate it, this is a tremendous deal for the united states. >> while president trump got the trade agreement he was looking for with japan, new trade deal with china remains i lawsive -- elusive and the escalating trade war causing anxiety here at the g7 over potential effects on the global economy, but having breakfast with new uk prime minister boris johnson not in favor of tariffs and said he would talk to the president on

macron denied reports that he had not informed the u.s.sident before inviting the foreign minister to the summit on saturday in an effort to save the nuclear deal. >> i decided to invite, as friends, the minister, so i informed president trump before doing it that it was my idea. not to involve the u.s., not to say this is on behalf of you. but to say, as france, a ticket would be a good idea to ask him to go back and try to negotiate. >> when pressed on whether he would be prepared to meet t ir's president, trump indicated he would, but only when the time was right. >> if the circumstances were correct, i would agree to that. in the meantime, they have to be good players. they can't do what they were saying they are going to do, because if they do that, they will be met with violent force. we will have no choice. >> despite the hugs and handshakes, it is unclear whether macron succeeded in calming tensions. or whether the summit will ease any worries on the world's financial markets. brent: lots of hugs and handshakes. let's go to our cor

we re boris johnson and emmanuel macron were saying. was responding to mark onoptimism with the idea that maybe we can renegotiate whereas macron was just reiterating what the eu has been saying that the withdrawal agreement remains, the backstop remains, they are happy to write around it and make clarifications, they did that wish theresa may not ultimately it's on the uk to decide whether to accept the terms on the table or not. we heard from emmanuel macron, at one stage he talked about the backstop being a genuine and indispensable guarantee of peace in northern ireland and to protect the single market but he then appeared to suggest later that there could be some scope for amending the withdrawal agreement. my reading of that was he was suggesting there are clarifications that could be made, so could there be a supplementary document that sets alongside the withdrawal agreement and outlines the means by which alternative arrangements are assessed , the means by which alternative arrangements are assessed, who determines whether the

emmanuel macron wants to be able to say, look.'m making progress on this significant issue i've been working on. trying to ratchet down tensions with iran in the middle east. look, here's some proof in the pudding, if you will, i'm trying to get something done with iran. the iranians were just in town in france the last week or so having similar conversations. the challenge is, this is apparently not sitting well based on our reporting with some white house officials who don't like how this went down. president trump we should note has been rather muted about this simply saying no comment when asked by reporters about this earlier. it is not clear when the president was told by macron he may have had some sort of heads up about this at least in some degree, but we know other world lead who are are here did not have a heads up zarif would be coming in. it is a stunning twist here at the g7 and frankly a diplomatic curve ball for the leaders involved. >> no doubt about it. we saw the video there of the foreign minister leaving after

when you look at what president macron says, is that of said both sides.g and discouraging and possibly the likelihood of a brexit deal, whichever side you are wrong, you could say yes, fantastic, we are absolutely going to get a change. —— you are on. and others would say that nothing has changed. what was markedly different was that mr macron said the withdrawal agreement can be reopened for the first time. whether or not this means boris johnson can first time. whether or not this means borisjohnson can secure a change, we have some movement, a reinvigoration of the process. what was your take? a lot has been made about the stylistic qualities, poses, but ultimately very little has changed unless borisjohnson can think up an alternative to the irish backstop which nobody has been able to do, we remain in the same position. either bringing back the deal from theresa may back to parliament or lena goessling. either you have a border in ireland or you have some form of checks on the border ——or renegotiate. we could have some checks on some goods and techn

this year it's emmanuel macron.he president sit down with macron who made it clear before the president even arrived in this country, macron addressing the french people talking about what he believes is important, and in part he was intrinsically critical of some of the issues president trump likes to talk about, saying he's concerned about a war on commerce being bad for all of these countries. macron talked about that with the president very frankly. and president trump saying that they do disagree on some issues, but there are ways where they can try and work together, again, face to face in a nice setting here in southwestern france, at least to start off, they were emphasizing friendship. here's how the president described macron and the group today as things got started. >> we actually have a lot of common, emmanuel and i. we've been friends for a long time. every once in a while we go at it a little bit, not much, but we get along very well. i think i can say a special relationship. so far so good. the weath

france's president macron tells his british counterpart, borisjohnson, there can be no major changes to the brexit agreement. the buses bangladesh hoped would repatriate hundreds of rohingya refugees — but nobody would get on board. and putting their necks on the line — one international body votes to combat the "quiet extinction" of the world's giraffes. with a record number of wildfires raging across the amazon, there is mounting alarm worldwide. brazil's president has said his government lacks the resources to fight the fires, and jair bolsonaro has accused other countries who give money to preserve the rainforest of doing so, not for charity, but to interfere with brazilian sovereignty. the president has for the first time acknowledged that farmers in the amazon are starting fires, to clear land. but he's also accused non—governmental organisations. conservationists blame his government, saying he has encouraged uncontrolled logging and clearance. and the french president has added his voice, tweeting: "our house is burning. literally." he described the wildfires as an "internati

that is another question i think folks will have once we see president macron. the g7 stands on iran, president trump says there is great unity among leaders here and hinted at a possible joint statement to come later today. we haven't seen it yet but that is something we're watching for, chris. let me make two other quick points. on climate the president did not attend a working session on that earlier in the day with that being of course a key issue for the host here emmanuel macron. the white house says a senior official attended in the president's absence since he had meetings with other world leaders though the other world leaders managed to make it to at least part of the session before going off and meeting with the president. the leaders did agree to fund $20 million to fight the massive wildfires burning in the amazon right now. as for next year let's look ahead just briefly. the president hinted at maybe miami, chris. you know the u.s. is hosting so that means the g7 comes over to our neck of the woods next year. the president without defin tiffly sayi

this was not a day after french president emmanuel macron said publicly maybe russia could come back but they have to resolve the situation in eastern ukraine. president trump attaching no such conditions. then kind of bizarrely spinning the narrative that russia was kicked out of the g8 because of barack obama's wounded pride. >> he's repeating that as we speak according to people who are e-mailing us. >> as he's want to do, yeah. so that's not the reason. he cast it as a matter of ego that putin outsmarted obama because the u.s. had said to russia don't take crimea, and putin did. he's skipping over the issue and making it about obama's ego. the key here is the substantive issue. what is russia doing? russian aggression in ukraine. trump just doesn't seem to care about that at all. i don't think the idea is going to get any traction because the other g 7 leaders do still care. >> the president, the white house acknowledged last night that the president talked to macron yesterday. i expect it was macron trying to figure out before the g7 this weekend what is this, had how serious is

and president macron told me every step he was making yesterday.e told me long before he came in what was happening. things had to be worked out first, but president macron told me exactly what was happening, who was coming, what time they were coming, where they were going to meet and after the meeting, he told me exactly what happened. he had a very positive meeting. he was also very much involved and knows everybody there, so he was a very positive force. i have to tell you, they've done an excellent job and you're going to see how it all turns out. maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. maybe it works, and maybe it doesn't. but had 150 billion, 1.8 billion and they've got nothing. it expires in a very short period of time. with a country, you don't make a deal that short. countries last for a long time and you don't do short term especially when you're paying that kind of money. so i had good feelings about iran, i have good feelings that it will work. i know many iranians who live in new york city, have friends from iran, they are incredible peopl

nick, what is going on here between bolsonaro and macron? >> well, all of this obviously is a personal spat and is a massive distraction from the urgency of the fires here. let me wind you back. jair bolsonaro says i'll accept the aid potentially but french president macron has to roll back the comments calling me a liar. this started when seeing how the fires were breaking out, he said he was lying about the environment. then we found a meme on the internet which is very offensive to the french president's wife. the french president then says how offensive that is and hopes that brazil gets a president who's up for the job and jair bolsonaro is deeply offended and has an apology contingent of accepting the $20 million the seven richest countries scraped together to help this massive environmental crisis. it is extraordinary, victor, that the first 90 seconds of you and me talking about this is how the two men don't want to get along. it is obviously incumbent on the brazilian president to deal with the fires inside his own country regardles

eu, oi’ president macron, france and the eu, or borisjohnson, president macron, france and the eu, oris johnson, prime president macron, france and the eu, or borisjohnson, prime minister of the uk? france is a great nation. it is being run, a lot of things happening. he is changing certain ways. it is a very hard thing to do. i will let him sell his ideas. a lot of people don't disagree with his ideas, but it is hard if you are a great citizen and you want to do the way you have been doing it for a long time, but maybe that's not working, maybe and they have to do what he has to do. i think he is going to do a fantasticjob. but i know how tough it is for him, he has been having a hard time, and nobody would have an easy time. but i do believe he is doing the right thing. and boris is different, it's a different kind of a deal. boris has to try and do something with brexit. it's very tough. ideal to try and do something with brexit. it's very tough. i deal with the to try and do something with brexit. it's very tough. ideal with the eu. that's a very strong group of people. they have

pam, trump and macron have already met this morning over lunch. what more can you tell us about any further discussions and maybe even a comment or two in response to what the president is talking about threatening these tariffs on wine? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. it's interesting because just before leaving washington, the president had those stern words for president macron as saying that he will impose a tariff on french wine and perhaps other french goods in response to the digital tax. but today during the lunch between president macron and president trump, there was an exchange of pleasantries. the president seemed to put a positive spin on things, calling macron his friend. he didn't make mention of the digital tax at all, though he did sort of reference and hint at some of the disagreements that lie beneath the surface on some of these key issues that the g-7 is really all about. that would be, you know, climate change, on trade, on iran, so we'll have to wait and see what came out of that lunch, but here's what the two leaders said

he met with president macron and iran has got a very difficult situation. they're in a position that's not a very good position from the standpoint of economics and that's okay because we can clear that up really quickly. i'm looking to have a really good iran. we're not looking for regime change. you've seen how that's worked over the last 20 years. that hasn't been good. we're looking to make iran rich again. let them do well if they want or they can be as poor as they can be. they can be like they are now. and i'll tell you what, i don't think it's acceptable the way they're being forced to live in iran. and what we want -- it's got to be non-nuclear. it's got to be non-nuclear. we're going to talk about ballistic missiles. we're going to talk about times. we' we're going to talk about the length of the agreement. it expires in a very short period of time. the agreement that president obama made expires in a very short period of time. what kind of agreement is that? he paid $150 billion for a short-term agreement. you'd like to have $150 billion for a sh

we know that president trump and president macron met for an impromptu lunch.rying to do especially the host president, macron, was convey a friendly tone because every simple person is well aware that on very big policy issues there is not agreement among the big western nations to make up the g7 along with japan. as such both the presidents have said we have our differences and a good relationship and across these three days we are going to work hard to try and progress on the number of issues. they may try to set that tone it and it might work. but one photo opportunity and a lunch trying to set that tone is not going to change the fundamentals because donald tusk lee electrified the summit bite set standing up at lunch and listing them for it. he said in the issue of iran and russia during the g7 and on the issue of trade wars europe does not agree with america's approach. of course that feeling is mutual, president trump is convinced that he is right on all of those issues and others thatis on all of those issues and others that is likely to give ground, s

they haven't -- they sent macron. emmanuel macron seemed to be welcoming russia back into the european fold at various points as thehey spoke ahead of their talks behind closed doors. he talked about the fact that there are existing agreements wiwith russia. he also talked about russia as a european country. a very important symbol ahead of g7 talks this week. >> what about the main topic on the agenda? was there any real progress made? progress in ukraine? emily: we will have to see about real progress. i can tie you that the tone was very much positive from both leaders. ukraine has been the main stumbling block of when it comes to eu and russia relations. it could be ththe key to improvg those relations if there is progress on the conflict in ukraine. putin talked about the fact that he had had a telephone call with ukraine cost new president and he said he was cautiously optimistic after those talks and that he had a few things to discuss coming out of those telephone calls and he wanted to discuss that with macro

post considered a sexist comment by mr macron and then mr bolsonaro looking for mr macron to apologiseazilian should have a better leader, i'm paraphrasing, but that was basically the sentiment. where is their relationship right now? how would you describe it? it has become a personal matter. the discussion now is not very much on the fires, which is the main concern of all brazilians, but now in the relations between france and brazil. what worries president bolsonaro is the idea that somebody else taking care of the amazon or the idea of everybody saving the amazon, that makes him worried and angry. he has mentioned this. but on the other hand, the governors are insisting that this money is welcome and they need this and the fires are still going on and they were put in the second place during this meeting because this discussion was during the whole day on this diplomatic relation of brazil. satellite data shows the fires — mostly in the amazon region — are burning at record levels. in brazil itself there's been mixed reaction to the government's rejection of help to combat the fire

macron added fair. if you look at the old communiques up to and through the obama years, you don't see the term fair trade. fair trade is a gimme to trump. fair trade is actually a euphemism for protection michl. th that is his in order to trump. his nod to the iranians making trouble with the oil tankers. so clear that macron is trying his best to be a diplomat. but i want to make an important point. we're in a period of a very fragile international economic system. why is this because of brexit. we don't know the effect that brexit will have on the eu. we also see the tension between japan and south korea. let's not forget about that. two very important trading partners of ours and of each other. and in that contained of vi in that kind of environment, last thing you need is another source of tension in the international economic order. so that is why this is so dangerous. you have these six other leaders who are worried about the eu, about what is going on in south asia -- i mean east asia and then t

macron is paying attention to the fires in the amazon saying our house is on fire.ut some of the bigger issues, social inequality, gender inequality, economic inequality on the agenda here. he'll talk about that. we'll expect him to mention the climate, of course. we'll also expect him to address some of the -- some of the other issues here that are important. he's invited some african leaders, org nicanizers to the summit, putting an emphasis on africa and the region. in terms of president macron, there's going to be a lot he wants to get out of this, and a lot will depend on president trump, what he says when he lands, and how he and what he says sets the agenda. >> nic robertson live, the president due there at any moment. thanks for joining us this house. new day is next.

brbrazil has rejected that offe, saying emmanuel macron should take care of his own affairs. >> macron offers a to the amazon. does anyone help anyone if it is not t a poor person with somethg in return? every year there are wildfires in result. this year they are more intense. deforestation is thought to be a major factor. that is something bolsonaro denies. a brazilian state is one of the worst affected areas. fires are having environmental consequences and affecting people's healtlth. clicks to get the scale of destruction,n, we do not need to go far. this area was burning 10 days ago. he is fighting to recuperate the forest. >> it is a slow process. it is not impossible. it is hard. damage is common. when the fire starts, it starts again the next year, the following year, and so on. reduce -- quick's releases carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. are greenhouse gases. what we study is the impact of what is happening here on the rest of the planet. there is a huge increase in carbon monoxide emissions. it was collected at a lab. dangerous gases are having an impact on residence. more

emmanuel macron says this is a global crisis and the issue merits discussion.olsonaro says he is b being targeted by a smear campaign and says macron is trying to make political gain out of an matter in brazil. >> year after year, the amazon is being chewed up. the area deforested last month was four times the amount in july last year. a 278% increase. saysdigenous grououp chief it is responsible -- it is obvious who is responsible. >> bolsonaro must understand. if white people continue destroying the amazon, the world will have no more oxygen. >> bolsonaro has never been coy about dismantling environmental production policies. loggers and farmers are using fire to clear plots of land. >> the fires are the consequence of a policy of environmental destruction and support for the agricultural industry. >> policies are facing s schism internationally. criticisming internationally. >> the three-day summit kicks off tomorrow in beirut. counter protests are expected. in paris, a number of people are not onboard with the agenda. they are taking their voices to the pre

i cannot see that merkel or macron care too much about brexit anymore.tside of the u.k.. -- don't think anyone does outside of the u.k.. but the trade problem has put berlin in a difficult position. they don't want to make any stimulus spending plans and the ecb is not able to move the needle. xi tohey be on trump and do something about trade? , everybodyroblem is knows this is not just about objective and coolheaded -- objectively and coolheadedly addressing these issues. they have real, unpredictable, and headstrong individuals. any attempt to try to strong-arm donald trump tends to be counterproductive. on that basis, i imagine there offensive butharm there is always the difficulty that it would just bounce back in your face. there is no doubt that emmanuel macron is ambitious in terms of his approach to global diplomacy. just a few days ago, he was talking to vladimir putin about proposed security architecture and bring in russia as well. but for this occasion, his ambition does not extend as far as suggesting they would be able to put together a com

macron-- >> but there is some support? >> there is, but it's only.oup of democracies leading the industrialized countries. and does russia fit. and remember why they were kicked out. gillian: 2014, right? >> crimea and also the continuing operations in eastern ukraine and parting the paramilitary. and macron made it clear there's not russia back in until there are some concessions. gillian: at least made a move to withdraw. >> there's no indication of that right now, gillian. gillian: we'll check back with you soon, leland. leland: a russian rocket headed to the international space station had to abort. what went wrong when we come back. uh, i'll look into it. (phone rings) lisa jones! lisa: (on phone) hey carl, what are you charging me for online equity trades? (nervous chuckle) lisa: and do i get my fees back if i'm not happy? like a satisfaction guarantee? ugh. schwab! lisa: oh right, i'm calling schwab. thanks, carl! wait, lisa! lisa... are you getting low costs backed by a satisfaction guarantee? if not, talk to schwab. a modern approach to weal

many look at this as another standby macron -- another stunt by macron.still don't know the timing of the visit at first, we were told the french didn't really tell anyone. this was just a last minute decision, something that french diplomacy will tell you was not really the case. emmanuel macron had a 30 minute discussion with the foreign minister. he left the venue where the world leaders are staying at just to meet him. he also was clear to say this is not a g7 event. what is interesting is that the americans would tell you they didn't really know about the meeting and would not confirm the french timeline. one thing they made clear, no one, not even emmanuel macron, speaks on behalf of the united states. sides are telling a very different story. nejra: how does president trump's idea of readmitted russia go down with g7 leaders? maria: one thing he said is that there is no point in having a discussion about geopolitics if you don't have a player like pressure at the table because the reality is that they still have a lot of influence in many regions.
