we can see the live pictures of president macron greeting people at the scene.the whole world. there became the i am charlie movement a few days after this attack? ., ., ., ., . ~', attack? following the attacks in which people _ attack? following the attacks in which people from - attack? following the attacks in which people from all- attack? following the attacks| in which people from all kinds of backgrounds and faiths were killed, world leadersjoined vast crowds on the streets of four days later in what became known as the greatje suis charlie much, everyonejoined together to celebrate the core ideals of the french republic of liberty, equality and fraternity, and the message issued to people from every part of the globe that free speech mattered and would be protected eternally. ten years later, the je protected eternally. ten years later, theje suis charlie legacy, the charlie hebdo legacy, lives on. the magazine is still published and receives government security grants but the collective response we all witnessed in 2015 has by no means stood firm, and

we expect president macron to arrive at the scene shortly, because he is going to lead the commemorationsary of that gun attack, it sparked international outcry at the time, the phrase i am charlie became a slogan for freedom of speech. now this actually happened around seven minutes' time, ten years ago, a black car drove up to the charlie hebdo building, and two masked gunmen both dressed in black and armed with assault rifles got out and approached the office, they then burst into an address before they realised they had got the wrong one, they moved down the street to number ten, where the charlie hebdo offices were on the second floor. once inside, the men which we now know to be those brothers asked maintenance staff where the mag zeeb'll offices were before they shot dead the caretaker, and then they went into the offices where those cartoonists and the staff of charlie hebdo were. they then opened fire. they killed the editors police bodyguard, before asking for the editor and indeed for cartoonists by name, and then they killed them, along with three other staff and a guest atten

i talked about d-day, which presidents macron and biden commemorated together. and i'd like simply to tell you that we survived some 59 american elections, and of course we'll survive the 60th american election. then let me tell you about a year -- and tell you that -- remind you where we stand today, where more specifically tony blinken and myself are standing. this is exactly here in front of this chimney that some 75 years ago, almost to the day, robert schuman made a 90-second statement that launched the political institution on the origins of the european union. that was on the 9th of may, 1950 -- at the time the european organization for steel and coal. so like tony, i will put a question to you. do we believe that the united states will take greenland? [laughter] the answer is no, no invasion of greenland. that being said, is -- are we entering a period of time where the false is present everywhere? the answer is yes. if you look at what europe has been doing in terms of competitiveness, and in many respect europe has been strengthening up. we are express

christian: quickly, we have sir keir starmer meeting with emmanuel macron tonight and we are told thisill come up, certainly mr. musk's recent interference in eu politics. why do you think eu governments are so timid at pushing back? >> i think there is a nervousness here about particularly in germany because the election is coming up next month. they are concerned about how that will turn out. these kinds of platforms, megaphones that mr. musk owns, is something that unnerves them. but the best way to respond to that is to simply not be indignant. just be innovative about what their policies can be and should be and get out and sell. christian: good to talk to you tonight. thank you for coming on. just want to show you some live pictures from georgia. the plane carrying jimmy carter's casket has just landed in fort moore, georgia. shortly we will see pictures of the casket heading through downtown plains where the public is lining the route where jimmy carter makes his way through his hometown. he will be buried later this afternoon in a private service close to the family home and ne

. >>> from germany to france, emmanuel macron said his decision for snap elections in june created moreisions than solutions. macron addressed the nation in the annual new year's eve speech a week after the polls show his popularity has fallen to the lowest level since taking office in 2017. in his address, macron took responsibility for the fallout. >> translator: we are faced political instability which isn't specific to france. we are also seeing it among our german friends who just dissolved their assembly. it legitimately worries us. i must admit it has ught more divisions. if i decide to dissolve, it is to give you back the floor and regain clarity and avoid the inability that was threatening us. we recognize right now that this decision has produced more instability than calm. i take full responsibility for that. >>> coming up on the show, authorities investigate in new orleans in the terror attack and fbi says they are looking for a connection between the incident and the man who blew himself up in las vegas. we'll bring the latest after this break. what if your mobile network w

it needs a budget and should avoid back tracking on the reforms that macron implemented.est we can hope is not much happening and the focus is on germany and we hope after the snap elections something will happen, namely economic reforms to promote the country. >> how significant do you think those reforms in germany are actually going to be because the comments i've seen so far from german politicians and thinking about the polls as well, we are unlikely to see a massive change or massive reform of the debt brake. are we going to see fiscal expansion from germany in the near future? a significant one? >> i think the focus on the debt brake and fiscal expansion is the wrong focus. germany will probably grant itself a bit more fiscal space with the reform of debt brake. the key is german companies start to invest more in the country. that is not a matter of the debt brake. that is a matter of doing away with regulations. that is a matter of using a little bit of fiscal space to cut business taxes. so, i do hope that the new government will actually do that and, if so, even

that was quite an eye—opener as well, because the fact that macron had extended the invitation to donaldand that it wasjoe biden who was going to travel in the president's place. that's, ithink, almost in a way, the uk was slightly behind the curve because we... prince william, you remember, was then dispatched to paris for a meeting with donald trump and it almost seemed, it almost felt within british diplomatic circles like, oh, here we are, we better get going. we'd better get on the front foot. we were sort of planning forjanuary 20th, and then very shortly after that, i think almost the very next day we got news of this call between keir starmer, sir keir starmer and donald trump, whether or not they thought the french had stolen a march and they needed to get in quickly. it certainly had that feel about it. so, yeah, i think it's perhaps caught some people by surprise on this side. just howjoe biden has retreated from the world stage, and especially so, i think, when you consider what happened around syria, that he wasn't really visible, it wasn't really the united states leading a

now the french president emmanuel macron has criticised elon musk.rsary of the messages conference. —— the ambassadors conference. mr macron has said the tech billionaire and donald trump adviser is "directly intervening in elections, including germany". russia's defence ministry says it is continuing to capture towns in eastern ukraine. it says it's taken the industrial town of kurakhove and the village of dachenske. it says both are important logistics hubs. and ukraine has launched a new offensive in the russian region of kursk. the incursion near sudzha, follows an assault there five months ago. russia's military has played down the scale of the latest attack. in recent weeks, moscow has been trying to squeeze ukrainians out of the area, with the support of north korean troops. meanwhile, president zelensky has stressed that security guarantees leading to an end to the war with russia would only be effective if provided by the us under donald trump. 0ur correspondent will vernon has been following developments from kyiv. it's pretty difficult to

a statement from french president emmanuel macron., so dear to the hearts of the french, has been struck by terrorism. our thoughts are with the families of the victims and the injured, as well as with the american people, whose sorrow we share." michael wallace is a professor and programme director in emergency and security studies at tulane university, a private research institution in new orleans, louisiana. we asked him why there is this confusion about whether to characterise the incident as terrorism. law enforcement does not like to jump to conclusions. the first reports on everything ago to probably be wrong, so they are probably trying to figure out who this person is, why he did this, what clues did he leave, what social media did he have, what was a flight it was on the back that actually is in a flag? black does indicate islamic state. you clearly have a lot of these things that could indicate something, but again could not. so law enforcement is very hesitant about calling something either domestic terrorism or foreign te

we heard similar charges just in the last few minutes from president macron of france saying that muskad done the same. so we're in uncharted territory. and then with this added complication that elon musk is clearly, certainly for the time being, very close to president trump. so, absolutely, leaders like keir starmer are thinking, well, how do i do this? how do i deal with this? in his view mr musk has said something just outrageous, something that could promote violence in this country, but he wants to do it in such a way that at this point doesn't get him on the wrong side of donald trump, potentially. i mean, it'sjustan extraordinary moment we find ourselves in. the shadow home secretary chris topaz described sir keir starmer�*s commits today as disgraceful and said the prime minister was smearing people who are concerned about rape gangs as jumping who are concerned about rape gangs asjumping on who are concerned about rape gangs as jumping on a far right bandwagon rather than facing up to his own record —— the shadow home secretary chris philp. ed davey said mr musc�*s intervent

parliament as the economy over there in germany is in near crisis, and french president emmanuel macronnnounce a new government after his cabinet collapsed in a fight over the country's budget. on top of that, there are wars still in gaza and ukraine, a chinese government bent on expansion, both physical and influential, and a second round of donald trump. quote, a community of nations. is today the stuff of fairy tales? ian bremmer writes in his yearly top risks report, adding we are heading back to the law of the jungle, a world where the strongest do what they can, while the weakest are condemned to suffer what they must and the former, whether states companies or individuals can't be trusted to act in the interest of those they have power over. joining us now. president and founder of both the eurasia group and g zero media, ian bremmer. that's a lot, ian. law of the jungle. give us a little bit more on that. >> well, i'm glad you started with all of those leaders, while allies of the united states but incredibly weak, and we could add, you know, the japanese to that list. we could

if you ask a lot of people like the fact macron and these guys he wasn't a disrupter like trump.o along get along. more traditional. look what he has done. china initiative was our push to get china out of our embassies, they had their own police stations here. we know their cyber attacks have infiltrated into our entire infrastructure. he pulled out of that. with the sanctions on the pipeline. when the nord stream two pipeline was about to be sheffield leave it it's almost done anyway. they invaded and we were going to allow that oil and gas to flow to our allies and would have made them more involved. of course the invasion of ukraine he telegraphed it said he was going to lose in four days. fighting for two years. he never armed them up. just talked about it. the spy balloon, the day before hamas attacked his national security adviser who commented how peaceful the middle east was. that's your legacy, pal. here is jake sullivan. >> let me ask you this, then, did you feel personally responsible for the failures in the withdrawal. >> i think the entire team, the entire national

french president emmanuel macron said start quote 10 years ago who could've imagined if we had been told that the owner of one of the largest social media networks in the world would support a new international reactionary movement and intervene directly in elections, including in germany. the government of german chancellor olaf scholz criticized elon by name. the normal people, the sensible people, the decent people are far in the majority in this country, he said. adding, we act as if mr. mosque's statements could influence a country of 84 million people with untruths or half-truths or expressions of opinion. it's simply not the case. i'm joined now by mehdi hassan, editor-in-chief and ceo. the sad fact is mehdi, this country, our country was influenced by exactly that and so, how right is europe to worry that maybe their populations are not as safe as they might think? >> first of all, joy, happy new year although there is not much happy about it so far. 2025 is really -- yeah. i think you're in for was spot on. i think you ended it in exactly the right place, the german chancellor s

and we've seen emmanuel macron already talking about this, that europe needs to be more independent. so they're all trying to weigh and figure out how they're going to deal with trump and whether there are actually any opportunities for him being in power in terms of trade deals. >> i want to i want to go to washington now, and i want to get your take on what you believe. this idea of a large bill to push through a lot of the trump agenda going forward, what that is going to mean, what the difficulties are with that, what the possibilities are for that. and if you look at just some of the things that apparently are going to be in there, tax cuts or the extension of of tax cuts, especially for wealthier people, the border and also energy as well, where are the potential pitfalls and why do you think they're doing this? >> right? it's going to be a huge challenge to to get this passed. i know the thinking behind it is that if they were to break it down into all these different, separate bills, then then that would also pose huge challenges as well, because they'd have to negotiate each

"mittiron" instead of macron.nion. it wouldn't be like that. >> the thing is, by the time we got to the super bowl interview -- which, again, was my biggest argument and people said joe biden would have run and won, i'm speaking specifically of my wife -- they didn't even let him do the super bowl interview. that tells you where they thought he was. but that was at the end of three years of him being cloy sterred off. i want to dig in deeper with what susan is saying here. we've seen it time and time again, when politicians are safe, right, when they want to have a primary with no opponents and the other side has ten people scrapping and scratching and clawing, it's always the person that's in the battle, in the arena, fighting all along, that is sharpest. >> yeah. >> i just think, again, i just wonder what you think, as a guy who was in the white house -- >> i've been looking at a number of views. as a journalist and politician working for a politician before. why didn't he do an interview with "the new york time

very seriously from the prime minister, the british prime minister, even french president emmanuel macron, speaking out yesterday, seemingly baffled and accusing elon musk of meddling in european elections. do you think elon musk has that much power? >> well, i think the fact that people think he does means he probably does. look, what look what happened in the united states when we tried to pass a bill before the holiday break? that was a compromise, bipartisan, bicameral bill that virtually everyone agreed on. it was going to become law. and elon musk enters the fray and defeats it. and then we pass something just to move along, just to kick the can down the the street. it accomplished absolutely nothing. but it showed early on that he does have this. you know, the joke was calling him president musk. i think the the actual term that should be played is oligarch. this is an extraordinarily wealthy person who has disproportionate political power, having not been elected to absolutely anything. >> mm. >> um, elon musk also connected with another news breaking news story that's come out to

he then boasted, i can pick up my phone and call emmanuel macron right now, adding, i love that black kid. i think he's still alive. all right, so happy jan sixth. or as i like to call it, jan 10th. let's see how the media is covering it. since the january 6th attack on the us capitol, when supporters of donald trump stormed this building trying to prevent the election victory of joe biden from being certified on the anniversary. >> oh my god. >> oh, god. sam. oh! >> apparently even mother nature is maga. all right, so i'm back. and true. i had a baby. i was out for a month and i have the chewed up nipples to prove it. eat your heart out, mayor pete. hahaha. guess that makes me qualified to run the department of transportation. sure does. speaking of trans, any man who thinks putting on a dress and a wig makes you a woman. no way. i was there when that baby popped out. and no dude can do that. you might as well put on a diaper and claim you're a baby or a president. but there are few things worse than someone in the media having a child, and not just because you have to imagine them h
