a huge reversal for olaf scholz after long-held position against the use of common borrowing.e are seeing the movement in the market, it is huge. the ecb to bund spreads coming in. walk us through how this happened. john: the origin of this is the summit in prague last week. off the record we had a briefing about their frustration and anger at germany's massive 200 billion national eight plan which they said was a lack of solidarity and then we had the leaders coming up and since then it has emerged the german government is ready to back going across the eu on a debt plan as long as it is for loans, not grants. tom: they have to apply that condition. thank you very much. breaking down the story in terms of the shift from germany and the rest of the eu. let's get perspective when it comes to the fx space. jordan rochester still with us. hello. the euro is going down .5%. what does this mean for europe? jordan: it moves markets. the reality is loans, not grants. this could lead to massive tightening. waves in the euro rally on the headline. it has not change the euro story becau

olaf scholz will reverse a steadfast german position and support the issuance of eu debt to cushion the blow of the energy crisis. the pivot however comes with strings attached. for more, we go to our european correspondent in brussels. this is quite the turnaround, germany has opened to joint debt, but these are loans not grants and that is important. maria: that is the key, and it comes with strings attached. is not a repeat of the 2020 recovery fund. that was the instrument to deal with the fallout of the pandemic, went to the market, fund raise of 750 billion euros that were paid out in grants and loans. at this point, we are not talking about grants, just credit. the european institutions which are aaa rated, would get a better funding cost, a country like italy could get the money and distribute that to member states. they will have to pay it back, and if you get money from european institutions, there are conditions attached. the key is this is about funding and locking in the borrowing cost. for a country like italy but across the periphery you have to get them to deal with this

we've come to meet olaf and his dog boss at his studio in svalbard's capital. archipelago's seasons and the unique arctic wilderness have been the inspiration for his life's work. the 10th of february. you have all the possible blue colours around you, day and night. and then you have the pastels coming, the yellowish lights turning a little red. later, the sun comes, and it comes more and more and more of it, till it becomes so much light that you are tired of it. you have light for four months and then the darkness comes. by new year's eve, it's all black. but you have... you have the moon, you have the stars. you can really see the stars here. you can see the milky way over your head. you can see the northern lights, which is like flames over the sky. this is a land of beauty and extremes. so what's it like to live at 78 degrees north, the most northern permanent settlement on earth? it's impossible to explain to anyone. it's so different. there is nothing between you and the feeling of nature. there is nothing between you and the feeling of something much,

war crimes, violated human rights and amnesty will not apply to them - she said - german chancellor olaf today made an extremely serious statement that ukraine will become a member of the european union, so the reconstruction must be carried out taking this into account. so, literally. in this way, we also bear the responsibility that everyone understood long ago after the maidan. ukraine is part of the european family. i speak very seriously and i understand everyone the consequences of this, we want ukraine to become part of the european union. he added that this decision is a signal to private vectors, those who today will invest in the reconstruction of ukraine will invest in a country that will be a part of the european union and a part of the common european market, we understand how carefully the same germans choose words for such formulations olaf scholz made an extremely serious statement, but the key issue is to win the war well, now we will talk about an extremely sensitive and tragic topic e- we will talk about how to return home the bodies of those who gave the most valuable

the issues of restoring our country, a very large-scale event, in fact, today we also listened to olaf scholze and orsula von der leyen, who on the eve of this event actually remarked that ukraine needs mr. marshall, that is what they call it, that is recovery after everything so that immediately, without wasting time, everyone joins in the resuscitation of everything that can be resuscitated in our country, and it seems to me very appropriate not to take it for granted in the context of berlin of the crimean peninsula international forum, which will require certain investments, including, of course, well, after all, a couple of additional prisons will have to be built in crimea for the better, so to speak, location of collaborators, but the key issue is, of course, macro-financial assistance under the conditions outlined by the german chancellor olafsho that ukraine received an extremely clear and transparent signal that we have every chance to become a member of the european union and when the germans, in particular, the german chancellor, speak about it, it means that this is not so

the first question for you will be the light of the quote that i i just received from olaf scholz.emed to me that this is actually a painting on the decision to accept us as a member of the european union, despite the fact that, well, in fact, this step can take place there, not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, obviously, but what is called a practical implementation our membership in the eu right now will definitely start this is about what we said with you on the air three months ago that the next day how will the war end and we will win the next day was we will be a member of the european union actually olas something now this confirmed by those patches that if we go back in history, we will remember that the first marshal plan after the 45th year actually became the base on the basis of which the union of steel and coal was founded first, and then the corresponding european union appeared on the basis of this, therefore the second plan mars will definitely become the basis for the appearance of a new member of the european union, a state of an independent, victoriously vic
