and russia have met for crunch talks over the north stream to project with the american side claiming the pipeline would hit washington's european allies the north stream to a pipeline will transport russian natural gas to jim and the baltic sea when completed but the u.s. sees the multinational project looking to gain leverage if you read his what the energy ministers have to say. we discuss joint gas infrastructure projects such as north stream to our position is that it is a commercial project that should be implemented in a competitive weight and concerning energy policy in europe we believe there should be a competitive market based approach relative to stream two. for purposes of clarity the united states does not agree that its completion is indeed. in the best interest of the european union we have our disagreements we have our challenges but dialogue is very very important to these two countries i'm optimistic that the future dialogues will be productive. however that psylocke is in washington states he put a say when it comes to other countries rick perry made it very creati

except roasted liquefied natural gas to the north stream to welcome it however the euro month stand on its own should be. back to our top story and the to a man named by britain the suspects in the script poisoning her a few the allegations against them we've got their side of the story in a world exclusive you can watch it all in full here not international just moments away. join me every first week on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. we. need a minimum of bidding to get one. because that is still a little fun but should have you had it sounds a bit off or something put off it with one shot of. it and then a horse or not those two number because of his birth and that's it for that i get it next year we deal with that someone did a couple. in the some didn't get their way because of the you know from the show. some of it over at the russian station in the you know the national station. now.

without any doubt the huge biggest threat is posed by the construction of north stream ii pipeline.e discussed at length about this i presented the situation as it is. we have to be clear, from the german side and russian side, this construction has already been started. there is still some formalities going on with laying of the pipes at the bottom of the baltic sea. this investment without any doubt threatens energy stability of europe and without any doubt also threatens polish energy security because it is a threat, there is a threat of rationed energy domination, especially when russia mentions it will build more pipelines, north stream three, north stream 4, this absolute threat of russian domination in europe in terms of gas delivery is obvious. we're able to see that ourselves couple years ago in ukraine. sudden interruption of supplies. of course had nothing to do with economic factors. it was connected only and exclusively with political blackmail. with effect. and it is obvious that today we are making efforts and we're going to go to any length to protect ourselves from

trade with iran which of course is principally oil and threatening them over the gas the north stream pipeline with gas russia's gazprom which they need to get gas and. as all this is going on the trump announces new sanctions against china sanctions against iran sanctions against russia same thing against canada mexico everyone else i'm starting to rethink my own personal finances in light of this and i'm investing heavily in stock in popcorn because ok. because there's all of this is going on in the us is we kidding it's dumb barrois one mechanism other than the military for global hegemony i am enjoying watching them destroy the road because you know some power. for the program and i said to. me you know it's not. america first policy because it's turning into only america policy which is you know you can you know the u.s. is an enormously powerful country no one denies that it's still the center of the financial system of the world everyone knows that you can't deny it but it seems to me that the way the dollar is being used. only looking very good i would say narrow towards. that

the north stream flight is really a concern.nment of germany has always stated it was a private project. with a huge geopolitical dimension. i don't see that this will go away. on the contrary, yesterday i was informed that we will see either before the midterm elections in early november in the united states of america or shortly thereafter at the beginning of next year, we will see much stricter guidelines and even stricter sanctions. this is of big concern to manufacturers of this pipeline project in germany, austria, and other countries including the netherlands for example. they are really concerned about the this will mean an sanctions that will definitely come and how they will hit german companies and european union companies. that is a reason why it is so important not to turn away from the usa but now is the time to the time to now is make more efforts for constructive dialogues. anna: some are raising questions of the strength of the german chancellor. impact on her ability to deliver on these very important transatla
