is that macron's ambition?it of the uk from the european union and imprint france's power on the project? well, first of all i will not comment on press reports on which i issued strong denials. but coming back to europe and what we're doing right now, it is not a question of imposing power from one member state to the others. it's a question of living up to the expectancies to what our voters have asked for when we went to the european elections and our voters are asking for a more united european defence, a more efficient european security, a way to deal with the digital transformation of our societies and our economies. this is precisely what ursula von der leyen is preparing with the next commission and what we will be working on. the member states and the council, the european commission, and the european parliament, where i belong to a group, renew europe, will be key to defining all majorities for our projects. so this is not a question of a person, even if emmanuel macron has put in a lot of input, a lo

this is not a question of a person, even if emmanuel macron has put in a lot of input, a lot of visionarts throughout europe. and we are ambitious for europe because we are ambitious for europe because we are ambitious for europe because we are ambitious for our citizens. nathalie loiseau, we're out of time, but i thank you very much forjoining in on hardtalk. good morning. we really are experiencing all flavours of autumn this week. it was rather cool and disappointing on monday, wasn't it? but tuesday made up for it. some lovely spells of sunshine for most of us — as you can see by this beautiful weather watcher picture sent in from leeds. however, today it's again a different story. we are seeing some wet and windy weather arriving, so some rain at times today and a noticeable blustery wind. and that's because of the remnants of ex—hurricane dorian. an area of low pressure that's been arriving over the last few hours bringing some wet and windy weather into scotland and northern ireland. and we've got these weather fronts straddled across the country first thing in the morning. not

( laughter ) you see, what we need to do is -- we need to get the president to pull out that magic sharpie of his, and we need to get him to send that hurricane down from alabama all the way to brazil to fan out the flames! come on, mr. trump, use your power for good! do it now, donald! do it now! we'll be right back!

emmanuel macron is heading to rome.his will be his first meeting with prime minister giuseppe conte. his coalition unites the populist five-star movement and the central left democratic party. france and italy hope to prepare -- hope to repair their relations. befrance and italy may historic allies, butut there relationship -- but their relationship hit historic lows. the deputy prime minister travel to france to meet with yellow vests protesters and offer his support. paris recalled its ambassador for several days. a seriesent came after of similar provocations from room. said the euthey shouldld impose sanctions on paris, which he accused of pushing migrants into europe. shortly after, matteo salvini poured fuel on the fire by an encouraging voters to boycott emmmmuel macron during the french elections. >> i hope they will free themselves from a bad president. they will choosese someone more consistent, practical. i am thinking of marine le pen. >> last october, tensions spiked when italy accused french authororities

president macron: thank madam president. ladies and gentlemen, heads of friends.nisters, we are here at the general at a time when the secretary-general has chosen such an extremely important topic, but climate as our central topic, which we discussed yesterday and we see and inpatients everywhere we are seeing more and more around the world that many things can lead us to feel pessimistic. we are not meeting the challenge . the demand that we have set for ourselves the goals we have set for ourselves in the area of global warming or the combat to protect biodiversity. there are many tensions. the level isrld unprecedented when we see what just happened in the golf a few days ago the persian gulf or when we see the challenges that many of our friends are facing and i see many friendly faces here that i know from other regions of the world, these conflicts are more complex and rule against the civilians, humanitarian personnel, rights defenders. it is the age of impunity that has opened. trade tensions are increasing. increas

we are expecting to hear f from president macron later today. someone to stay at the top of their game for such a long time means making a lot of enemies. he did have a lot of feuds going politicians. >> it is true that in 1986, he was president since 1981 but lost the legislative election, so the conservatives won the majority. we had an unusual situation where you had a socialist president and a conservative prime minister and it was jacques chirac. it was more ideological. -- had nationalized a lot of companies. this washirac decided a tense period between them because this had not happened before. two years later, 1980 eight, it would square off against each other. if you go back, many people thought this was the end of jacque chirac. in the run-up to the next election, 1995, he was betrayed by his own prime minister, who became very popular and decided he would run. polls showed he had no chance. sarkozy was openly challenging him, describing him as a lazy king, doing nothing, somemeone from your own party. you have to make a lot of enemies

macron is against. we'll have to come back to that next week. thank you all for this week.odbye. hello. many of us have another fine day ahead, though a chilly start, perhaps even a touch of frost across parts of eastern scotland and north—east england for sunday morning. or england, wales, eastern scotland, plenty of sunshine, maybe an isolated shower but most will stay dry. claudia david northern ireland, and from that cloud you may encounter a bit of patchy light rain 01’ encounter a bit of patchy light rain or drizzle. bit warmerfor encounter a bit of patchy light rain or drizzle. bit warmer for eastern scotland, but most of those temperatures on a par with what we had during saturday. sunday night and into monday, the loud start to move further east and brings rain. it does mean a milder start on monday morning though still chilly where it stays clear across easternmost parts of england. monday will be a cloudier and wetter day and the rain through western parts of the uk quite heavily her at home across parts of wales in south—west england. not too much reaching easte

emmanuel macron has spoken by phone to the president of iran.he elysee palace said the french president reminded hassan rouhani of the need for iran to comply with its nuclear obligations. however, state media in iran says president rouhani told president macron that iran would reduce its commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal — if europe doesn't live up to its own undertakings. the us military says it has carried out an attack on al-qaeda militants in the rebel—held syrian province of idlib. reports from the region said more than a0 people were killed in a missile strike that targeted a meeting of leaders ofjihadist factions. police in france say a young man has died and several other people have been injured in a stabbing in a suburb of lyon. it's thought police are hunting for another man, carrying a metal spike, who is believed to have fled the scene. riot police have stormed a metro station in hong kong, using batons to beat passengers, in the latest round of clashes, with pro democracy campaigners. the authorities confirmed that two offic

i very much appreciate president macron, his involvement, but we're not dealing through president macron. people are dealing with us directly. we don't have to go through another country. we have actually, we've had a lot of help, if we want it from japan. japan is one of their biggest, possibly their biggest buyer of oil. they have a big relationship. that's prime minister abe. so we don't need anybody to deal. we can deal directly if we want. but other countries are offering help. they would like to see it straightened out. but they also agree with me, we had a great g7 and they all agreed no nuclear weapons for iran. they all agree. no nuclear weapons for iran. reporter: the iranians have said they don't want to talk to the u.s. until the u.s. rejoins the jcpoa. how do you square -- >> that's not their last statement, actually. but they did say it in a different forum. they said that until we do certain other things like drop sanctions and that's not happening. okay? that won't be happening. they didn't say quite the way you said it, but they said it with the same end result. that won

macron at the g7 summit was keen to push climate change policy as a key.very well with the french public. i think he has to balance at that, though, with the needs of french people, not in paris but in the rest of france, who do rely very strongly on their cars to commute to work and he needs to work out whether domestic policy and getting through these structural reforms he thinks are necessary to improve the french economy and to make it more productive, he needs to balance those two things. a tricky balance. thank you, jessica. see you a bit later. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news... delta airlines says it plans to buy a 20% stake in chile—based latam airlines for $1.9 billion in cash and newly issued debt. the deal with south america's biggest airline will give delta a much biggerfootprint in the region. it would be the us carrier's biggest investment since merging with northwest airlines over a decade ago. saudi arabia will open its doors to international tourists for the first time as part of a broader push to cut its ec

macron is against. a thought to lob in at the end.d that is it from dateline london. we will be back next week, same place, same time, with a lot more to discuss. goodbye. hello once again. after such a decent weekend, it is a shame the new week starts off on such a wet note. if you are close to this weather front, it will be a wet start. cloudy for parts of eastern england but the rain arriving later on in the day. northern ireland brightening up through the afternoon, and the northern half of the british isles staying very cloudy. that's less rain to finish off the afternoon. that won't be the case across parts of wales and the south—west. the heavy downpours and may be the odd rumble of thunder. the rain will dissipate into the small hours of tuesday, clearing skies. pretty chilly, especially across central and eastern areas, may be some mist and fog around as well. the ground has been very wet. true today start of —— tuesday start of bright for many of us, but wet and windy weather into northern ireland and scotland. northern brit

macron is against. a thought to lob in at the end.and that is it from dateline london. we will be back next week, same place, same time, with a lot more to discuss. goodbye. the dry and settled theme to the weekend weather continues for most of us through today. a pleasant sunday. this was the scene this morning in bedford. beautiful and blue skies around here. that cloud builds up as we head through the afternoon. spells of sunshine today and most places stay dry but not quite everywhere. taking part in the great north run and it is looking decent. 16 degrees, top temperatures this afternoon, it should stay dry. weather fronts moving in this afternoon, it should stay dry. weatherfronts moving in from this afternoon, it should stay dry. weather fronts moving in from the north—west, some rain overnight. we have some cloud through today. we could see some spots of light patches of rain moving in, but for eastern scotland, and the bulk of england and wales, a dry picture through the day. still mostly dry. a couple of showers possible in

macron. we don't have time to go into it. and the lib demslj macron.dbye. talk to you next week! adios. hello there. temperatures are set to climb over the next couple of days. friday morning will start off with some fog patches in places but that should tend to lift and clear fairly quickly and then we'll see a lot of sunshine and some real warmth as well. high pressure is centred just about here. you can see the winds rotating around it in a clockwise direction. the high pressure keeping the rain—bearing cloud at bay for the time being out in the atlantic. one or two fog patches across southern scotland. northern england could be the odd dense patch of fog, some potentially for northern ireland as well but as we go through the day, any fog will lift and we will see patches of cloud drifting northwards but a lot of sunshine across most parts of the uk and temperatures widely between 19 and 22 degrees. but with the south or south—easterly winds blowing across the uk, the favoured spot for high temperatures will actually be the north of scotland, partic

emmanuel macron saying six months is enough, not the year.strated more openly than some european leaders. any possibility that he or one of the big guns can say this can't go on anymore? when we had that drama with emmanuel macron, it was in april. i'll give you the answer. it was just before the european parliamentary elections. who was emanuel macron‘s party standing against? marine le pen. he couldn't afford to be soft on brexit which is why he had to be seen to be taking a hard line. just before the biarritz summit he said he was happy to play the bad cop on brexit but there aren't such huge divisions inside eu circles on the idea of an extension in reality. we are talking about public personas and what they believe behind closed doors. even to avoid a blame game. in the case of a no—deal brexit, eu leaders won't wa nt to no—deal brexit, eu leaders won't want to be seen to be the ones slamming the door in the face of the uk. it is hard to see circumstances where the eu don't grant an extension but threatening and moaning, plenty of that b

macron is the first foreign leader to visit italy since the new government was sworn in.te also stressed the need to cool rhetoric on immigration in europe >> translator: it is essential for europe to turn a page in the management and no longer emergency management for the flows. it is always for the utmost consistency. we must remove propaganda that is also anti-european and offer a rigorous response. italy doesn't want to lower its guard against illegal trafficking, against trafficking of human lives >> it is fascinating to see what looks like a friendly encounter between conte and macron it was not so long ago that tensions were running high between those. >> probably the key part of the equation here, it has been months, normally france and italy are quite close. in the past months, they have been quite tense france being very critical of the ministers policy of blocking ships with migrants. salvini saying france are hypocrites another moment when the deputy prime minister met with some protestors that was really the final tension here and france recorded ambassador f

again, i quote president macron of france. if there are things he said which is part of what was negotiated by michell barnier can be adapted and are in keeping with the two objectives i mentioned, stability in ireland, which we all support, and the integrity of the market, we should identify them in the coming months. is that the negative spirit of the opposition? i am speaking in berlin. chancellor merkel of germany said once we see there could be a possible outcome, this could be a possible arrangement. this backstop is a sort of placeholder, which is no longer necessary. no longer necessary, she said. that is a positive thing. which will not be echoed on the other side of the house today. they are fleeing already. fleeing already. there are indeed solutions. they don't want to hear about solutions, mr. speaker. they don't want to hear about solutions. that is a positive thing. they don't want to hear about solutions. they don't want to hear about any of it. there are practical arrangements that we can find which avoid anyo

speaking in new york, emmanuel macron urged donald trump and meet anduhani to repair ties. after separate talks with the presidents,nian emmanuel macron is pushing for donald trump and hassan rouhani to shake hands. >> if confidence is regained, we can move forward and make this happen. clear commitments by iran on the issues i have mentioned is not feasible without american commitments. >> the french president has been calling on both leaders to renew talks of iran's nuclear deal. both in his address to the wased nations, donald trump eager to remind d his counterpas iran remains a security threat. >> as long as iran's menacing behavior continues, sanctions will not be lifted. they will be tightened. >> trump announced the toughest sanctions ever on iran, as he called them. the new talks for the heads of state would only work as a two-way deal. rouhani would only sit down at thenegotiating table if economic sanctions were lifted. we had an agreement, mr. trump, he exited without justification and illegally. >> it is another bleak forecast from scientists when it comes to c

george, macron came to power to sort out the public finances and he's been entirely derailed from doingthat matter and is that fair? should we bejudging him by election promises when france is a very different country these days? they've never worried about the deficits in the past. looking at the deficits in the past. looking at the deficit over the last 20 years, it's been averaging between 3.5—%, higher than the fiscal rules allow for in europe. now they've brought it down, it came down in 2017/18 because of stronger economic growth, but clearly they will run a higher deficit this year with the intention of reducing it next year. clearly these numbers are higher, certainly for the deficit, for this year. the overall french deficit is projected to be 3.1% of gdp, economic growth. this is a fraction above the eu target, or limit, ishould probably say. into day's world, does it matter if things break the rules? europe might hope some countries break the rules because they would like to see fiscal policy contribute to where monetary policy has left off. we've seen debate and questions ov

you will have a weakened angela merkel and a macron who is... there is an opportunity there.hat is on earth is going to happen next week, the serious question which i miss from my list of events, what on earth did boris johnson say to the queen at dinner on friday night and what did she say to him? that must have been an extraordinary occasion about moral. she is very politically engaged and she listens a lot. there is actually footage of her talking to ronald reagan and you see she had very punchy views but the form will be that she will have with a raised eyebrow asked him how his week went and try and expand what on earth is going on. i would have paid good money to have heard his response. any takers? i think she will be quite happy because i believe, i might be wrong, but i... she would be quite at ease with borisjohnson. she is old. 93 years old. the reason she is pro—brexit. she is old. 93 years old. the reason she is pro-brexit. the reason she had so inclinations, you are absolutely right, the reason for thatis absolutely right, the reason for that is that if you go r

united nations where john holl joins us live now from the united nations in new york and present macron speech a little earlier on he spoke a great deal about iran and about the need for the u.s. and iran to come together which suggests that those french led efforts to find some sort of negotiated solution or at least some incentive for iran to stay in the nuclear deal you know the efforts are still very much ongoing. very much ongoing a lot of shuttle diplomacy taking place behind the scenes here at the general assembly as yet no sign of any of it bearing fruit we saw earlier emanuel macron running up the flag once again as we've seen him before of multilateralism black list of cooperation among nations calling on leaders to find the courage that they lack to build peace to reach consensus bringing up iran in particular saying look it's time for the u.s. and iran to negotiate again any more pressure on iran will only deepen tensions in the reason region it was all a sort of rebuke not just of u.s. policy on iran but also of donald trump and his style of unilateralism and all the leader

: we expect meetings between the iranian leadership and meetings between perhaps between emmanuel macronf france, shinzo abe of japan. those have been the two leaders and u.s. allies most working to get a deal reached. when president trump was at the g7 last month, it was president macron who floated the idea of some sort of temporary easing of sanctions on iran's oil sells -- sales to bring them back to the table. it is the kind of thing that people will be talking about on the sidelines. i certainly would not rule out something unusual happening. that is a great forum for impromptu discussions. scarlet: in other words, be prepared for anything. thank you. for how this geopolitical tension is affecting oil markets, let's bring in francisco blanch. great to see you as always. how oil prices surged on monday following the attack, then retreated. they are ending the week with gains. how long will we see or feel the effects on the hit to the saudi supply? we had the attack on monday and since then it has been muted. francisco: i think that is a fair assessment. to me, there are three elemen

obviously on iran macron said look it is time simply now for the u.s. and iran to go back to negotiations he had warned he said when the us pulled out that simply pressuring iran without providing solutions would create deeper tension in the region and so it has proved he has suggested a forum for negotiations a program for negotiations rather in 4 parts to ensure that iran can get a nuclear deal to end the war in yemen to come up with a regional security plan and to lift sanctions on iran that's an idea it's a framework i think we're a long way from that yet turn a whole there for us at the united nations thank you for that. well earlier on tuesday donald trump addressed the general assembly to and reminded the u.n. of its potential for peace but he also lashed out at china iran and venezuela while laying out his strategy of america 1st to get a james base reports. as he arrived at the general assembly the world was watching for president trump's next move on iran the u.s. has been joined by the u.k. france and germany in holding iran responsible for t

angela merkel says ok, you have 30 days, even emmanuel macron saying there were indications there waspening. now is the time for him to talk to jean—claude juncker and say right, there is some kind of progression happening, now let's work out what that means for the sist. work out what that means for the 31st. we will talk more about this in the news briefing, because it is dominating the media in the uk for good reason. kulveer will be coming back after he has some strong coffee. oil prices have soared at the opening of the markets in asia following saturday's drone attacks on two key facilities in saudi arabia. the cost of brent crude rose by the most on record, after half the kingdom's output was taken out — that accounts for roughly 5% of the world's oil supply. iran has dismissed us allegations that it was behind the strikes and accused washington of being deceitful. our asia business correspondent karishma vaswani is in singapore. what is happening at the moment with the price of oil? has it come down since that initial spike when trading began? yes, it has. now the price of oil

there is the proposalfloating by emmanuel macron on giving a 15 million line of credit to around twot is facing. but it is all contingent on trump my response, and i think that the iranian regime wants to tell trump that it could reach into places in the middle east where it could hurt us economic interests at the global interests, it is within iran was my power to do so. it is not the first time that the republican guards have used the houthi militia to cover up for other militias, because it wouldn't be in their best interest to say that the iraqi militia have conducted this given that they could come into confrontation with the us troops based in the region. on that risk of confrontation, what do you think the reaction will be from saudi arabia and the us? there are only two plausible scenarios. either a military escalation are continued pursuit of a diplomatic solution. a military escalation at this time would really further hurt both the united states and saudi arabia, because it would just not only them as really eager to respond and attack iran or its militias, but there is no

bloodshed of the many people have no fight on unfounded expressions and in my meeting with mister macron why do you say iran is responsible? he said our technical experts have said that the yemenis have not reached that type of technical capability. in response i told him you are unaware of their capabilities. if there is no cease-fire going forward you will see once again and you will witness the military capabilities of the yemenis. let's come together and find a solution. leveling unfounded accusations help the people of yemen. let them continue, let's not let the saudi's continue the bombings. piece is a much more attainable, beneficial place to go rather than attributing accusations of one another. >> reporter: you talked about coming together and you're bringing to the un a new peace plan, peace endeavor, there are many nations in the region that say iran is the last country that should be proposing piece. since may, they say, you have mind tankers in the persian gulf, you have seized a british ship, you have shot down the united states drone and now the saudi oil attacks, they say

the scale of the challenge i think one of the problems for example with this recent stats between macron and both are that we witnessed. the g 7 apparently one of the most powerful gatherings. of global players of world leaders they tabled this is. the most generous and and came at the end of a $20000000.00 package now that's problematic on 2 levels one it's an almost offensively small amount of money when you think about all of the challenge so it's bound to stoke the fires of xenophobia resentment for a player interfering in brazil's sovereignty and secondly it's targeted at the symptoms of the problem so putting out fires if you qualify you posted put it out that far more importantly when you think about ways to avoid those fires being let in the skating into the forest in the 1st place and all of the systems and the understanding the technology needed to do that is all in place we just need resources to be able to implement it better and to ensure that the rules that brazil already have has really ready were world class environmental legislation that isn't forced and if it wasn't for
