to mccraw criticism of nato. well the reaction really has come from the secretary of state. who in germany at the moment and it was actually what he said was pretty positive actually of nato on his visit to germany on thursday now we can't really forget that he actually spent time in germany as an officer during the cold war and what might surprise a lot of people is actually had positive he was about nato considering what president trump often said since he took over the presidency in 2016 now pump a 0 said that nato remains very important and critical and historically one of the most important partnerships that exists between many of these nations now he also spoke of the remarkable work of nato and the also defended president trump which is quite interesting considering you know the words of micron and like i said what president trump has said about nato he's been incredibly critical of germany and the other european nations saying that they should spend more money they should reach the target which is set out by nato of 2 percent and what's definitely probably going to b

questioning its effectiveness just weeks after calling nato brain dead france's president a manual mccraw that the organizations boss for talks in paris as erasmus national buffer reports from the french capital. it was a longer handshake than usual for the french president it seemed to be a sign that emanuel was in a conciliatory mood as he greeted nato secretary general at the least say only a few weeks after he described the military alliance as brain dead but if you install timberg had hoped for an apology or a retraction he didn't get one as mike ross stood by his claim that nato lacked direction because one of the questions i ask are open questions that we have not resolved peace in europe. treaty the relationship with russia the subject was talking who is standing so injuries or decision let's not negotiate cost sharing a burden sharing maybe we needed a wake up call if you permit english expressions stoltenberg said nato members often had different opinions but that didn't mean the alliance has no future so the policy start while questions are 'd being asked about the strength of

follows the trump administration's move to start the former joined us from the 2015 accord mochi and mccraw have said the accord is. over the past 2 years in the fight against climate change we have consistently acted together with great effectiveness and commitment that i regret the choices made by a few other countries but i want to see them as marginal choices. when china the european union and russia ratify the paris agreement and make a firm commitment that the isolated choice made by one or another country change the course of the world. and feeble with me i have in the studio tim a schonberg he's from debbie's environment desk with him tim now we have both the presidents from france and china talk about the practice climate accord being is reversible what does this really need me explain a bit china is the largest emitter of c o 2 emissions world wide relying on coal as their prime energy source at the same time china just agreed to to reduce their order to from just from 2030 on from then on not emitting more it. so furthermore china has just status as a developing country within th

and rebalance the alliance that's where trump has legitimate grievance with the other allies and mccraw should work on strengthening the european pillar of nato rather than taking europe in a totally separate direction let me bring pavel in and ask this question some of the headaches which russia has had with nato expansion is and what any of that be dealt with if we saw a different sort of common european defense arrangement would that deal with the placement of certain u.s. missile systems that say in poland and so on and so forth or ultimately would we see the same sorts of military postures just with a different. oh those are missiles that have been deployed then. in romania and are being deployed and bowen they're not on the nato us press they are a kind of bilateral agreements between america and romania american poland and so that doesn't mean that it's kind of nato is of course an important vehicle but that's not the entire thing the nato expansion has been seen in moscow very dangerous move russia has opposed it all the time believe that the kind of. weakening of the transatlan

war european countries they can no longer rely on the united states to defend the alliance mccraw says nato is suffering from a lack of coordination and u.s. unpredictability the german chancellor angela merkel says she disagrees with them across quote drastic words new zealand has passed a climate change law aimed at reducing its net carbon emissions to 0 by 2050 bill was passed with near unanimous support an independent climate change commission will be formed to monitor progress. italy's introducing mandatory lessons on climate change in all public schools students will now learn about the subject from primary through to high school it's the 1st country in the world to make studying sustainability and climate change compulsory a monica for sony is an italian politician and co-chair for the european green party she says making climate change compulsory a compulsory subject in schools is a step in the right direction needs in the as in many other countries we do have a lot of climate negotiations people that think that common sense doesn't exist or at least does not do well by human a

the leave a palace in paris natasha butler is our correspondent there and the comments made by mr mccraw make for a rather awkward encounter there between the secretary general of nato and the french president today. yes you can imagine the secretary general of nato you installed in burgos arrived and he met the french president on the steps and 2 had a rather long handshake maybe that is a man or michael trying to show that he is warmly welcoming stoltenberg even though of course stoltenberg isn't very happy with some of the comments that michael made earlier this month in an interview when he said that nato was brain dead so you'd imagine that sort of vocal inside the very frank conversation with the french president find out exactly what he means and exactly why he made those comments now michael for his part is restored by them he says that nato is suffering in a way it's dying if you want to continue to use his imagery because of the u.s. is unpredictability lack of leadership and also a lack of coordination between the members of the alliance and i know mark also believes that euro

stressed her commitment to nato rejecting criticism of the alliance from french president emmanuel mccraw in an interview published in the economy's dues paper president mike ross said the natives undergoing what he called brain death i think that europe must start acting as a strategic world power at a joint news conference and then chancellor nato secretary general shelton but declared that the alliance is not dying despite widespread dismay at the recent actions of the united states and turkey in northern syria mr stoltenberg went on to reject the notion that the us was turning its back on its european allies but said that more german financial support is needed. so does europe have the capacity to act as a strategic world power present micro suggests teri schultz is a de doubly correspondent a nato specialist he can't possibly think that europe can completely defend itself at the moment that's just not possible in any way not logistically there's not enough equipment there's not enough coordination there's not enough trust so what mcluhan is saying that that europe needs to go off on

lay out its own path and i'm thinking about the events of in europe and with china recently we have mccraw on this it in beijing cutting a deal worth $15000000000.00 in terms of agreements you have germany talking and worrying about huawei and whether it should build out the 5 g. network in the country it's looking like european democracies have to have tough negotiations with a country they never thought of perhaps as being a tough negotiator yes absolutely i mean you have to see that if you look at all to the trade numbers for the last couple of years that china really has spread everywhere it is the big do you economic power throughout the 3rd world into eastern. europe as well and of course what they saw also in 1989 and the americans in particular although they stick together vis a vis vest on europe and raise too many rights and and important to condemn what has happened in china they also persecute the americans a back channel policy to keep the economic relationship going considering the try and i was planning to open to the world economy and that is exactly a similar position we'r

the response from secretary general still very chancellor merkel are not surprising well mccraw his words were as merkel said quite drastic it's not often that you hear a leader speak like that calling the most important military organization for europe something dying of brain death but mccrone had a point and it has been an irritant to him that president trump does what he wants when he wants with little regard for the positions of europeans this is particularly neuralgic at the moment because of course france had boots on the ground in northern syria when president trump decided abruptly to pull u.s. troops out which puts puts the the allies at risk there at the same time securing to hit back quite hard saying yes you need a stronger europe but that you cannot do without the transatlantic relationship either you made reference that. interview today of the french president. in which he said that the alliance has experienced what he called the brain death let's take a listen to some more of what he had to say so what we are currently experiencing is the brain death of nato you have no co

among other things it's important to try to deal with some of the other problems like turkey where mccraw spoken out very vam mentally about what the turks are doing in syria which could lead to attacks on turkey and then when one of their allies do they support turkey and also the need finally to start coming to terms with recognizing that russia is going to be an important power in europe now i think mr trump would like to do that but at the moment this is all stuck in the middle of the thing you're in the united states which we are totally preoccupied with which is the impeachment of donald trump the democrats say oh well trouble would be president if it weren't for the russian connection and obama the way russia's. relationship with which means that trump must be of mr putin's pocket so for trump to be able to do serious things with russia is not possible now because everybody in washington right now is focused on one thing which is how do we get rid of trump say who is paying a price for that of having i don't i mean you mention in passing that turkey and take a particularly cross wi

but for many yellow vests those promises were empty a little in a at 1st mccraw ended in the way they were and the promises and that he backtracked there was a tax the onus but not to be company had the resources to offer it he also promised 100 years extra for people a minimum wage but in the end we realised it was only for those in social security the anger continued to spill out onto the streets while some yellow vests were caught up in the violence for the most part to protest his argue their movement had been infiltrated by extremist. it's yeah. it's the radicals who go out for violence it's an adrenaline kick for them it makes them feel good i suppose but there are also people who become violent because they are being attacked by tear gas and police battens so discouraged they've tried to discredit the movement by showing images of burning trash cans and cars and also to make sure that the rest of the population don't join the movement the police don't understand and i think the government owes them money but instead of marching with us they hear the protesters what given the vi

and essentially he said that europe is defenseless without nato either cannot defend europe well mccraw those words didn't sit well with other members of the block to for instance the us ambassador to nato she said that she strongly disagreed with them and she called the alliance essential i don't think europe would be se without a transatlantic don that we have the german foreign minister also talked about this and he said that nato had been europe's military insurance for the past 70 years and one polish member of the european parliament well he managed to find the only present russian trail behind micron's words in fact he stopped very short of calling the french president a russian puppet i think is very sent. still to russian pressure in any case in france this is a long tradition and this is only the latest in a whole spree of loyalty troubles faced by nato lately for instance even the locomotive pulling it forward the united states has had its problems with the block donald trump for instance has criticized europe for being unwilling to pay a fair and due amounts for all the bene

important than it was during the cold war and by the way she was also among those who criticized mccraw on for his brain comments so clearly today young stoltenberg a nominee emmanuel mccrone didn't come any closer to resolving their differences but next week nato is celebrating its 70th birthday so we'll see for that parties overshadowed by all the difference is that this big family house. spanish will be taken off air in bolivia at the start of next month that's according to the country's top private t.v. operator comes amid a violent political crisis in the country during which a nun elected government to seemed power by the right wing senator ginnie 9 years she's accused of suppressing the media as well as supporters of ousted president obama rollo's russia's foreign ministry has already expressed concern at glitching yeah i don't think it's a coincidence that r.t. has been taken off air in bolivia it's a consequence of the political course there was declared in the country no reason was given for the decision with no real facts presented we were notified prior to the decision. well

chinese president xi jinping and his french counterpart in london mccraw have issued a joint statement reaffirming this strong support for the boundless climate accord in beijing president macross said cooperation between europe and china on reducing emissions could be decisive it follows the trumpet ministrations move to stop the former proceeds of withdrawing the u.s. from the 2015 a cooling. and mccrone have said the accord is. matilda could push of milk over the past 2 years in the fight against climate change we have consistently acted together with great effectiveness and commitment to the i regret the choices made by a few other countries but i want to see them as marginal choices. when china the european union and russia ratify the paris agreement and make a firm commitment the isolated choice made by one or another country won't change the course of the world. and for more with me i have in the studio tim a schonberg he's from the environment desk welcome to now we heard both the presidents from france and china talk about the practice climate accord being irreversible what do

sure you've seen this latest interview 'd in the economist magazine that french president emmanuelle mccraw gave and he firmly stated that there would be no further e.u. enlargement until the membership procedures are formed do you take that as just photo sharing which is not entirely for him to mishear electron or do you think it's a wider shot as far as the e.u. neighborhood policy is concerned i think that the. french president actually expressed the idea which is pretty consistent with what we've been talking in the in the 1st part of the interview and this is that everybody sees that something is going wrong with the process of course what part of the problem is not only is not happening in the western balkans but part of the problem is with european union itself because the union is undergoing pretty huge sure. changes and i think that some things that he mentioned in this interview hall for a total revision of the whole approach to european union rights for example one thing that i think is very important is that that is that there was a huge change in the u.s. and the u.s. was a cou

clearing migrant camps and carousel occurred signal the new direction for a president or money or mccrawthe story teller after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic to follow the only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. one else seemed wrong. but. just don't. get to see how this day becomes active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. hello again federal cash to boost american roads real and other infrastructure appears to be waged on washington's list of priorities this year the us is instead planning to plough transport funds into asia competes with china even though people back home are still contending with crumbling roads creaking railways and dated reports here's artie's. china's one belt one road project of building infrastructure around the world is facing a challenger and the united states is not hiding its intent we have no intention

belgian politician and former deputy speaker of the country's parliament he told us that a man who mccraw may be seeking to reposition himself as the e.u. is defacto later. there are those who are for peace here and for a 1st at the precinct level i mean that the european union finally is a good day to be a distance from the united states is a good thing in itself now the motives for microsoft to say these things are several it has to do with the fact that 1st of all that. you can be united the home is soon to be going to be drawing from the e.u. and france and micro season this an opportunity to become disputed leader of this future e.u. or without the united kingdom and secondly we should not forget that nato minus the united states and probably minus canada would mean that this would be a military alliance with by its weapons mainly from european manufacturing. fronds which you said made a big weapon producer not as big as the united states or that there's also a play the fact that we doubt it can all of the ng it openly that the e.u. in reality wants to improve its relationship with i

important than it was during the cold war and by the way she was also among those who criticized mccraw on for his brain death comments so clearly today young stoltenberg anemone and manual mccrone didn't come any closer to resolving their differences but next week nato is celebrating its 70th birthday so we'll see for that parties overshadowed by all the differences that this big family has. because it did murder in germany has won the right to have his name and other details erased from web searches under the u.s right to be forgotten the man was convicted of a double murder back in 1902 and served 20 years in jail the case and his name were widely reported in the media he claims his right to privacy and ability to develop his personality have now been infringed germany's highest court agreed to giants like google and now to remove the man's details from any search results the law states that any european citizen can ask for links containing sensitive information to be erased from search engines it's being enacted in 2014 google says more than 800000 requests have been made to remove

happen here but i cannot rule out the possibility of a terrorist threat from a grown considering what mccraw himself spoke about a book or a horseman on the door said that many people from france have gone to fight for the slum mixtape but if you because some people from bosnia went there to fight for. you not even one serb left and not even one. moslems did. i mean the radical ones and they could be seen as a real terrorist threat to both the borders already today in bosnia from their own muslim communities where is based on. it's being promoted and that it could be a very dangerous mix if combined with the problem of those fighters who are returning from syria boy you really need to take care of that. when you add to that one part of the islamic community if not the religious islamic community from serbia most there ready to lies to officials. and others who provide the basis for such sentiments then we must not rule out the possibility of terrorist attacks by these very individuals or not but that could be just as dangerous as any large scale conflict with a lot. richer richer rather well

china more into the climate targets off the paris agreement so basically president french president mccraw is there now in the european mission not oh ok you know. so did some some deals on the side but in this context is there in a european mission to pull china into the pairs of human to get more targets more commitments from the government of china so the e.u. is basically trying to take the lead here in climate policy needs and we have to see the agreement in this context so the chinese president also it's to say somethin let's listen to it. by the religion in the face of some of the most major changes ever seen over the last century china and france as permanent members of the security council and representatives of eastern and western civilizations must assume more responsibilities as 2 powerful nations. ok the chinese president saying that china and other countries too of course must assume more responsibility in fighting climate change but can china and the e.u. fill the gap in terms of climate mystic climate change mitigation that is left by the u.s. pulling out of the paris deal

chinese president xi jinping at his friendship counterpart emmanuel mccraw have issued a joint statement reaffirming their support for the paris climate accord speaking in beijing president macro said cooperation between europe and china on reducing emissions would have been decisive this follows the trumpet ministration beginning before the process of withdrawing united states from the deal president xi and macron described the deal signed in 2015 as every verse of. the theological issues milk over the past 2 years in the fight against climate change we have consistently acted together with great effectiveness and commitment. but i regret the choices made by a few other countries but i want to see them as marginal choices. when china the european union and russia ratify the paris agreement and make a firm commitment the isolated choice made by one or another country won't change the course of the world. now the course of the world has scientists around the globe so whatever they've issued a joint call to action on climate change describing it as an emergency too many of us are living to

among china's allies another signatory french president emmanuel mccraw you know let me must confirm next year new commitments 420302050 the cooperation between china and the e.u. in this respect is decisive some believe climate change is happening naturally all those say the driven by industrialization and human consumption environmentalists say the number of extreme weather related incidents is increasing there are 22 of the 50 states in the u.s. who got climate action plans as 550 cities or who were doing so so in this sense trump does not represent the entirety of the us he represents the federal aspect of it which is which is really a helpful leaving the powers agreement was a trump campaign promise but the u.s. cannot officially withdraw until november 4th 2021 day after the next to us presidential election matheson al jazeera. meanwhile record high levels of air pollution in india's capital as led to protests as people demand more action from the government on monday air quality index levels in new delhi reached 10 times the recommended safe limit by the world health organizat

but nato secretary general young stoltenberg has met with a man while mccraw in paris and that softer the french president calls to start by describing the transatlantic alliance as braindead eco standoff has the latest. well indeed the 2 were emanating tension as they were trying to keep a straight face with a less than a perfect game again even as they were delivering their statements standing shoulder to shoulder to each other it was obvious that one is way more optimistic about nato than the other have a less nato is a strong alliance but more than that we are adopting it we are agile and we are active so we are responding to a changing world and the reason why nato is the most successful launch in history is that we have been able to change in the world is changing and that's exactly what we have done over the last years that's exactly what we are doing to see questions i asked our open questions that we have not resolved peace in europe the i never position the relationship with russia in turkey who is the enemy so until we resolve these issues let us not negotiate whether coast

membership procedures are formed do you take that as just postering which is not entirely for into mishear mccraw or do you think it's a wider shot as far as the e.u. neighborhood policy is concerned i think that the. french president actually expressed the idea which is pretty consistent with what we've been talking in the 1st part of the news that everybody sees that something is going wrong with the process of course what part of the problem is not only happening in the western balkans but part of the problem is with european union itself because the union is undergoing. pretty huge sure changes and i think that some things that he mentioned in this interview hall for a total revision of the whole approach to european union rights for example one thing that i think is very important is that that is that there was a huge change in the u.s. and the u.s. was a country which basically provide security. for european union rather know this country is now changing its mr trump wins yet another term this is 4 years of this change that will be applied and everybody will feel the consequences now this c
