between you and the us up has been achieved by a constant dialogue not only from france and germany with the u. s, but also a european diner with the u. s. but for which france and germany were instrumental . there's also a lot of common ground when it, when it comes to foreign policy elsewhere for us on germany said on c, i to i as to how to communicate with russia, for example. and both leaders acknowledge that this would be a challenge for the time being. but for example, when it comes to turkey, when it comes to syria and libya, the reason come on will to so issues such as migrations and you interest in the near and me, the least, there is a common ground there. right. and as a chance to michael steps down in september, how is the relationship between the 2 countries likely to be affected by her departure? well, one thing if i showed a french german relationship, survived many presidencies, many chancery over the years. it will undoubtedly continue again. but of course, with america stepping down in september and m as in michael o, so either re presenting. so again, i was the president or not

u. s. 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. s, germany and several other countries have designated his belong as a terrorist organization. but it is definitely a force to be reckoned with in lebanon. its political wing is represented in lebanon's cabinet and the current parliament, while its militias have helped to maintain us regime across the border in syria, has below also has close ties to iran and is considered by many to be toronto proxy in the region. so no mati jimmy as well. i presented themselves as those who fought for the rights of the oppressed for the poor for the occupied, et cetera. but over time, as they entered politics, politics corrupts even resistance movements, which is how they were described by many people and seen by many people in, in, in lebanon. and they've become part of the corrupt establishment. the corruption is widely believed to have played a part in a massive chemical explosion that rocked a root in august 2020. more than 200 people were killed and 7 and a half 1000. others were injured. the area around the ports of bay route where the blast took place was raised to the ground. almost 3

that has been achieved by a constant dialogue not only from france and germany with the us, but also europe in dialogue with the u. s. but for which friends and germany were instrumental. there's also a lot of common ground when it, when it comes to foreign policy as way for us on germany sealed on c, i to i as to how to communicate with russia, for example. and both leaders acknowledge that this would be a challenge for the time being. but for example, when it comes to turkey, when it comes to syria and libya, the reason common will to so issues such as migrations and you interest in the near and me, the least, there is a common ground there. and as chancellor michael steps down in september, how is the relationship between the 2 countries likely to be affected by her departure? well, one thing is for sure, defense german relationship survived many presidencies, many chance there is over the years. it will undoubtedly continue again. but of course, with america setting down in september and m as in michael o. so either re presenting to again the president or not, we will see changes. we don't know yet. this is a gr

and only then we can be partners in leadership. you know, the u. s. depends on the u. s on germany a lots and especially german chancellor angle americans and we know that she will be stepping down in september and with her leaving the european union, washington are going to lose a window to the kremlin. and she's even been called the put in whisper. how can that that loss if you will be, or the gap be filled when she's gone? well that's, that's the huge question. we have to answering the german national elections or the front runner right now, mr. lash at the griffin democratic candidate for championship. in the past, he was a little bit unclear sometimes about his rational position with the free democrats . we think that he will be much clearer, but therefore we invest in the future coalition because we are the party of transatlantic partnership. we invest very much as we democrats, traditionally in partnership with the united states. so if we will be in accordance with him, with mr. ashlee, we will make sure better transatlantic cars will be really on the prom page of our relati

and germany now holding meetings with the u. s. over the north stream to pipeline, what are the chances of present abide and we'll be able to stop the completion of that pipeline. we're going to take a look at the pac show. so let's get started. and we begin with news of a new cyber attack on a major industry, brazil j. b. s. the world's largest meet processing company is suffering shutdowns in its australian and north american operations. the cyber attack caused the companies australian operations to shut down on monday. the company said it's working to resolve the incident here as part of the statement they release saying quote, on sunday may 30th j b. s. usa determined it was the target of an organized cybersecurity attack, affecting some of the server supporting it's north american and australian. it systems resolution of the incident will take time, which may delay certain transactions with customers and suppliers. so basically we learned nothing from that. but what it does mean moving forward is that g b s as a network of some

and to speak with one voice only. then we can be partners in be to ship. you know, the u. s. depends on the u. s. on germany a lot and especially german chancellor angle america. and we know that she will be stepping down in september and with her leaving the european union, washington are going to lose a window to the kremlin. and she's even been called the put in whisper. how can that that loss if you will be, or the gap be fill once she's gone? well that's, that's the huge question. we have to answering the german national elections or the front runner right now. and the last, it's big, missing them pretty candidates transfer ship in the past was a little bit unclear, sometimes about russia position with the free democrats. we think that he will be much clearer, but therefore we invest in the future coalition because we are the party of transatlantic partnership. we invest very much as we democrats, traditionally in partnership with the united states. so if we will be in accordance with him, with mr. lashley, we will make sure better transatlantic cars will be really on the prom page of our relation and,

as we've reported that pipeline, it would carry natural gas and oil from russia directly to germany. the u. s. opposes the pipeline even issuing sanctions against that. in fact, the biden administration on may 19th, sanctioned several companies and ships russian side by the way, knocked the germans side for their work on the north stream to the us government under both former president trump and the current president clem. bypass ukraine, which relies on gas transit fees. of course, while making this argument, the u. s. fails to mention that pesky fact that russia is act, the number 2 supplier of gas to the united states. but i guess our own energy independence isn't as important as europe's right. as we're north stream to the german government has refused to hold the project, arguing that it is a commercial venture. and it's a sovereign issue for the invite. and we'll meet separately with german chancellor, anglo merkel and russian president vladimir putin during his trip to europe. and speaking of euro, bad news for the economy, there is a euro zone inflation search beyond the european cent
