it's 60 points for hitting a decade high in germany, and 61.7 in the u. k. so both germany and the u. k. of come out very in a very strong posture, a couple of factors for the u. k that i haven't mentioned were that also 70 trade deals that were in place with the e u. private breaks it lives trust the, the british trade secretary, she have now secured 66 trade deals. so that's one of the reasons for things coming out so well in the u. k. m, for germany. it's that the vaccination program has finally yes, caught up with that. that was quite brilliant. actually in the u. k. that's one of the reasons for the euro's own bounce back. finally, hillary, i have about 30 seconds for this, but the e. c. b actually released a study on wednesday that said men suffered bigger job loss across the years due to this pandemic. and this is actually surprising because you would imagine women are generally employed in the sectors that were most effected by shut down quickly. what happened there? where you are, right? because the women usually in the personal service sector and th

u. k. germany and france is the page has been the power of the people, not the power of a bunch of people. things like one tunnel are an obstacle against thinking that the u. s. is the only and probably the best democracy in the world. i think they were missing a kind of let's say response like, sense of responsibility of the us for being the democratic leader of the world. so i think that's why probably 80 percent that know and that there is a chef. but i still believe they are just because of the incredible power that they hold you to look a value for your home. it's difficult to compare countries, but i think that no country has a stable democracy. this was clear in the united states and the trump and the same could happen here in france. so i can't say that the united states is the biggest democracy in the world, just like i can't say the front of the biggest democracy in the world. i'm going to be coming back. we still have things for under trump with a ship. my glance at the mexican border global warming, the covey crisis, united states is not a good example for the countries old la

u. k, germany and russia. how worry to you about this particular strain, the whitening action that experienced last week or so using these mostly due to cell phone, which is more than why the frequency of getting sick is increasing weather than could be seen, which is published. the only fictitious assertion would be to prevent severe offer on viral infection for every reason. okay, thank you for your thoughts. konstantin, a savannah off professor at rutgers university in new brunswick. thank you. thank you. now gunman in nigeria have reportedly kidnapped at least 80 students in a raid on a school. in the northwestern state of cabbie police say 5 teachers were also abducted and an officer killed. it is the 3rd mass kidnapping, in 3 weeks. gangs of men described as bandits, often stage, abductions, seeking, ransom payments. fidelis and bar has more from a boucher, with the waiting for official confirmation of the number of students who were picking both. what we do know from witnesses is that at least 80 of the

u. k. germany, france. yet somehow, none of these countries have been designated as level for threats. apparently, according to the state department of the mythical threat. terrorists and russia is far greater than everything that's been happening in europe over the past few years . here's just a few examples of opened a terrorism investigation after a police employee was stamped to death at a police station near paris for news tonight about the deadly terror attack outside of paris. this is the 3rd terror attack in just over a month in friends. perhaps we should point either this, not that long ago that we're hearing about the term stable, unpredictable relations that bite administration seeing that's what they wanted with and from russia. how does that fit with these developments? well, basically just flies in the face of everything. the bio ministration has been saying the stuff we heard during the bite and fruits and summit. but it's not exactly surprising. sure, there's a lot of talk by this by demonstration about stable relations treating each other fairly. but in practice it tur

u k funds, germany and now. yeah, and so they're big weapons vendors. and of course, those countries are the ones that weapons are in the countries or deployed and used in the countries which are make the countries with the, with the least amount of piece when you, me an exact balance there. well, certainly the supply of the industry is the good the list which gets out in the country between conflict, obviously the place today. and there are certainly many proxy wars which i get right in different parts of the world. but certainly one of the driving factors in the last 5 years, it was know, in the last 7 years, it's been the rise of bias and why it moved through syria through what you get, i rock and day. so certainly that you do need weapons to part the toxic right. change like that. if we're looking over into this whole reach mom and we can see arise that elements of isis there. so again, i think certainly having a better regulations around a weapon. so i think it's really, really important. that's really, but that's the responsibility of thing. you w

u. k. a, germany friends. those countries have avoided this highest level thread designation apparently, according to the us state department, this is just walking the streets of moscow is much more dangerous than experiencing what has happened in europe in the us or the past years. here's just a few examples. for example, answered opened a terrorism investigation after a police employee was stabbed to death at the police station near paris. a terror attack in vienna. austria leave 2 people dead, including one of the gunmen 15 others are wounded. 7. seriously. this is the 3rd terror attack in just over a month in friends, becky and the 1st 2 were connected to the republication and friends of cartoons for news tonight about the deadly terror attack outside of paris. perhaps we should point out that if not that long ago, that we're hearing about the term stable, unpredictable relation to bite administration, seeing that's what they wanted with on from russia. how does that fit with these developments? well, basi
