because what role is europe playing in these coalition talks. well it is an overarching issue i mean it has an impact on trade and everything and all sides are very much aware in fact they also agree that there needs to be a positive signal a positive oncet towards french president manuel mccall who's grand vision for europe for a closer europe a more integrated euro zone have been on the table for months now and germany is unable to deliver an answer now the difference is there are that particularly the c.d.c. this is a party of anger merkel's party fears close integration feel fear is that there could be some financial liabilities attached to that having to basically vote for debts of other countries this is been a very long standing issue here in europe but what is the democrat leader put down there as a condition i would expect to be an issue they very much see eye to eye on in the end and that can be resolved so i guess there will be more talk on the detail on the nitty gritty german issues. going on here at the s.p.d. headquarters with a v

and europe. he will later introduce the leading voice in the house on the need for meaningful action to counter the efforts to undermine democracies. but first we will hear from senator cardin about the report highlighting these issues. i know we've all learned a great deal from it. he was elect by the people of maryland in 2006 after two decades in the house and as the ranking member on the senate foreign relations committee he's worked to further the national security and protect the human rights and wants to ensure that corruption and respect of human rights are integrated into policy and including the championship of the act and among a number of roles he's been a commissioner on into the member of the asi the asia pacic international cybersecurity policy subcommittee. it is my privilege to welcome you to today. [applause] >> thank you for that introduction but more importantly for the great work you're doinyou are doing on thee for security democracy. i want to thank the german marshall fund

europe. it can be defined by law, and much more rules defined by the consensus. , much more adapted to your business environment and for reallocation. it is much more productive at home. and i think it is very much waited for. acceleration and flexibility is also a series of microeconomic reforms. and that is what we are betting energy, housing, transportation, , andder to reduce the plus at this sector. that is why we have that for me. it is competitiveness. on one side, productivity on the other side. why? a lot of people, balance will come. jobs.n create a lot of [indiscernible] ,f we can create a lot of jobs we pass a series of reforms in order to accelerate this group strategy. especially reducing co2 emissions. close all of these stations by 2021 during this mandate. [applause] it will step up the fight. with the project, now writing in france. and i would say, it's about change. this cultural change is now a preference for simplification. france has a preference for regulation and taxe

to manage to seclude score a point or bring her over to their side on europe or the rest of europe has said oh this is a breakthrough for europe germany said well we'll consider micron's proposal that's all they've said so it's our big i mean to the people of europe wanted this grand plan that schultz is talking about a federal european state within eight years i don't know who else wants that around europe among the european the other countries the neighboring countries the member countries and european ordinary european voters don't they don't want to buy into this vision that martin short. to go out there in terre haute no i don't think so and he's talking about the united states of europe was mccomas talking about we need to make we need to integrate the euro zone i think on the corners talk where we need to get momentum back into the european union since break that we've just been sitting around saying what is the future so i think his idea is if you start talking about moving the european union forward on again or the euro zone we're back on track i don't know whether that's worr

it is a europe that must have a common foreign policy on strategic questions a europe that must create its own common development policy it's a europe of defense and it is a europe that has to be economically strong was i know what got us votes off the starts and was clearly for me the priority is to know where do we want to go i think we share this vision of defending a greater sovereignty greater unity and a europe of a more democratic character and if we agree on the end goals we can construct the tools to get. you and equip. for the french president a more integrated europe goes hand in hand with the pro-business policies he hopes will invigorate the economy at home. so big plans for the european union but with germany one of the key players of the e.u. not having a new government it's going to be hard for the french president. to put any of these plans into action orthodox christians around the world have been celebrating if any for them the holiday commemorates the baptism of jesus in the river jordan millions of believers marked the occasion with a traditional ritual often bravi

the populist parties in europe. threats for departure from the european union has marked a historic turning point. one of the reasons so many british voted to leave the european union was a fear of immigration. in austria, a right-wing nationalist government has formed as in hungary and poland. all three share a mistrust of what they call brussels bureaucracy, a fear of islam and a desire for isolationism. populists are now driving the political agenda in many european countries. also, politicians are talking publicly about a conservative revolution within a visit us on homeland, family, and christian values. is donald trump the leading figure of this new shift to the right? donald trump: america first. what is theew, overlap between donald trump, trumpism, and far right populism in europe? matthew: the overlap is that many of the same forces that drove donald trump into office are also present in europe and has been for some time. this backlash against globalization for example, the worry about migration and the re

it becoming a federal europe. now with the french president, president macron, very determined for a federal europe, good luck to him. if he and germany put their acts together, it is possible to see at least the eurozone countries, maybe a reduced number, effectively being a united states of europe and we will have good relations with them. talking about how that will work, you wrote a book about the foreign policy after brexit. i wrote it with someone 25 years younger than me who voted remain and i should think this shows you can bridge the gap. let's unpicked the thoughts behind the book. you said... this is not in the book but something you said before the referendum itself that stuck in my mind. "we will rediscover the skills of blue water diplomacy and rise to the challenge of global markets. it would be the spark we need to re—energise britain. a challenge and an opportunity." it's stirring stuff. what on earth is this blue water diplomacy you speak of? we did it before, we used to have a worldwide navy.

eurozone so you are the euro yet and europe the. main trading partner for many countries in the world so the recovery in europe is important for everyone from the u.s. to africa to asia and that's what we have to keep in mind all right but made it clear doesn't just want more business with china he wants more business and trade on a more equal footing does europe have the leverage though to force more equal access to chinese markets well i think that the it was the first step in the european strategy you know it when we when we look at twelve trades champions the u.s. china and europe and we have seen in recent months with donald trump the u.s. for follow not for those now or more if that is what our show needs to strategy so we have to. draw a new a.q. berea between china and europe and such was one part of. micro strategy in china to say europe is now an important trade partner for to sign off and we have to discuss to find a new way kubrick and so that was the first part. the second part it was about risky procedure the thing you

president >>> switching to europe. brussels is warning british companies of being shut out in the eu in the event of a no brexit deal. memos were sent late last year to about 15 industries to warn them to be prepared, and to expect no automatic access to the single market. >> michel barnier insisted that british financial firms will not receive general passporting rights to do business in the single european market after brexit now he is conceding some could be treated equivalent to the eu after they leave next year barnier reiterate the once more that any free trade agreement struck between the two sides would not carry all the benefits of remaining in the customs union. >> translator: let me say this clearly. there is no revenge, no punishment you'll never see in my behavior any kind of punishment or revenge feeling, but only the mere fact that we want to stay in control of our rules and control how to implement them. as the united kingdom wants to retain its autonomous decisions, it has to respect ours >> barnier's

what you need, really, is a very strong germany for europe. at the moment, emmanuel macron is taking all of the weight of europe because he is saying we need to speed... but europe doesn't want to have all this agenda taken by brexit. there are other things, refugees, the crisis in the eurozone, that could come back. there's the question of poland, there's the question of defence. there is a question of foreigners first and all that. at the moment it is all blocked, the main country is blocked politically. there is urgency for a government in germany. whether it is weak or strong, it doesn't matter. you called for a strong one, that is the point, i don't think you will see one emerge in the near future. it will be viable in certain functions, economic and otherwise, but it won't be in a position to really represent the country as a whole because there is such a wrangling going on between the two main parties. this could be called kielinger's paradox, suggesting germans want change but they don't want any change. they want politicians to sugges

i supported europe for many years. and idid not supported europe for many years. and i did not make a u—turn. i did not even change my position. i oppose the eurozone. i don't believe you can run a currency from 27 countries. i did not believe in a federal europe and never did. as foreign secretary i put to cabinet a paper that was designed to show you could be in europe without it coming a federal europe. now with the french president, very determined for a federal europe, good luck to him. if he and germany put their a cts him. if he and germany put their acts together, it is possible to see acts together, it is possible to see a fleece the eurozone countries, may bea a fleece the eurozone countries, may be a reduced number, effectively being a united states of europe and we will have good relations with them. talking about how that will work, you wrote a book about the foreign policy after brexit. someone 25 years younger than me voted remain andi 25 years younger than me voted remain and i should think this shows you can bridge the gap. that's unpicked the t

surely it was about europe as well, and the structure of europe. secondly, i think one of the reasons was precisely an organisation of our european union probably which goes too far in terms of freedom without cohesion, towards the free market without any rules and any conversions, and i have to say that your government had some responsibilities in it. too neoliberal, perhaps? ten years ago, they were purely free market without any regulation. because all of your people saying, "the hungarian workers or the polish workers are much more favoured than i am," it was exactly the debate we had in france 10—15 years ago against some directives that a lot of your government pushed at the time saying, guys, you are not free market. i do believe in the free market, i do believe in a market economy, but we need regulation and convergence, which means that what we lost in recent years in europe, that's the convergence and solidarity message. it is no longer sustainable to have some countries taking cohesion funds, money from the european union, in order to

recta off to europe and central asia division of human rights watch. where you executive director had to say that europe has come in for a lot of criticism in the report by your organization give us give us more about what are your reasons for concern i mean had to do with the e.u. our headline this year is that the e.u. has been treating human rights as an optional extra and that certainly is the case to do with refugee migration policy the focus has been very much on securing borders keeping refugees away rather than giving them a humanitarian treatment when they arrive and applying a fair. refugee policy across the continent the efforts to push refugees away to places like libya and turkey are of serious concern. and the rise of populous as we said in countries like austria has been fueling anti immigrant anti asylum seeker messages across europe now describing human rights as an optional extra is a very damning criticism and one of the central concerns is that europe seems to have outsourced its refugee asylum politics beyond the borders of europe

europe countries beyond europe sporters so it has been a wide range of topics that the german chancellor touch upon but she says we need to learn our lesson from history and we need to show that we have learned this lesson and of course he was touching on the overarching theme off this summit which is creating a shared a future and a fraction well do you think what she said actually met the expectations of the delegates at the world economic forum in davos. yes i believe so because she was not only focused on germany or on a specific economic topic for that matter she did touch several issues as i mentioned economic issues political issues the topic of foreign policy and i think it is it is a coherent approach it is a common approach that people want to hear about here and it will be interesting to see if the remarks that the chancellor made for for one reason will resonate with the people here and also will be met by the french president a monolith mccraw who is due to speak here later ron christie with colbert in done well thank you very much for bringing us up to did with the latest f

how is europe going to keep this still alive. well the european part is this deal several days ago had a very important meeting in brussels where they came out with a unified message that they are going to remain committed to this deal and that importantly so long as iran carries on its part of the bargain they will do their best to deliver on the deal as it was envisioned or originally now i think everyone in europe understands and acknowledges it's going to be very difficult to keep the deal going if the united states backtracks so their effort for the next four months which is this deadline that their closest ally in the u.s. has issued to them their main efforts are going to be to keep the u.s. administration on board with the deal and find some sort of a solution that accommodates both iran's needs and the u.s. needs but if need be there you need to also consider contingency plans to keep this still together absent the united states just to clear the games for the next hundred twenty days trying to keep the u.s. on side rath

it is not leading in europe. at the same time, we know digitalization means there has to be lifelong learning. we have to deal with completely new solutions as regards social systems. that is to say we have to be aware of the fact that these disruptive technological changes invariably made disruptive changes for our society. and the readiness particularly in a society that is growing ever older, such as germany, there is not that much of a preparedness to get used to these new developments. the question is not what can i distribute? but how can i ensure prosperity for the future? that is what we have to concentrate on. if we actually want to fulfill their promise of prosperity for all in the future as well in the new digital world, we need a social market economy, not only an industry. we also have to deal with the question how can we jot others into the fold, not leave them behind? that is a very important question for all of those countries. countries that are fractured will not be able to act in this cooperati

i'd ask myself what europe stands for if the e.u. doesn't define itself through the recognition of human rights is one of the when it's just a financial union. and if it's just a financial union i donated a pretty thought i'd rather expel states from the e.u. that don't respect the rights of migrants and send migrants are words that if you noticed but we didn't really get out. in june twenty seventeen a u.n. report once again highlighted the fact that migrants were being subject to grave human rights abuses in libya including executions torture deprivation of food and water and encipherment. nonetheless it's only continues to pursue the agreement with libya and even got backing from the european heads of state and government they met with opposition from some members of the european parliament who wanted an internal european solution for the problem i spoke to the co-chair of the greens in the european parliament scott keller and asked her the reason for this approach. starts unlike you who says the heads of state and government are

the refugees reach europe via the hotel beach terrace. as though it's sheer madness they thought we were going to grab them and drive them back to turkey. i don't know who tells me such nonsense and they believe it could putting their lives in danger. just something that a boat another climbing up there in storming the hotel. we've lit up their cars with searchlights so that they can land safely and no one dies in the process but now the boat has disappeared and the people to think we've just radio dot colleagues from the frontex land border patrol. we've told them to pick up the people and bring them to safety. and they can be quickly. on a normal basis really necessary. for now the refugees journey has ended in a camp and has some os town on the e.u. pressure greece has created so-called hot spots on the islands to process new arrivals this is where the asylum applications are assessed. in march twenty sixth dean turkey and the e.u. signed a controversial deal according to which ankara agreed to take back anyone who had managed to cross

but there could be a shared sense of europe. i believe we could have a stronger sense of belonging in europe like what you have in the us when i leave many people had a much stronger connection to their country and that's not something we have in europe even less so in germany i believe the sense of feeling european isn't really there. and the future of europe. are going to be more about i'm nothing. special but i think. we do all of these movements we're going in the wrong direction here we need to find a place where diplomacy if we respect each other maybe different cultures should be taken more into account because greek has a specific certain. culture it's a different from the italians from the swedish people so. her chair on the difference this should be taken into making process and should be respected. as a debate in europe goes on and these young people here to contribute to it. if you want to fix your economy employ women that's what canadian prime minister just introduced w.f. in his davos address he stressed the impor

economy and an even stronger than expected japan, europe, china. so very often the value of the dollar relates to relative strength i think it's fine if it's weak in the short-term. >> provided the weaker dollar is happening for the right reasons, makes manufacturing, exports, the u.s. economy more competitive. the other side of the story is it coming from fears of protectionism, from fears of pending or looming trade wars. that's much more concerning if that's the reason the dollar is underperforming. >>> speaking earlier, jes staley noted a positive fundamental in the equity market but issued a warning about volatility what gave me concern yesterday is asset values such as the stock market are at all-time highs. every major index last year grew by more than 20% volatility is at an historic low. almost more concerning than that, a lot of what's driving that low and volatility is people are selling short volatility if you have a lot of short positions at an all-time low level, something snaps, the velocity of recovery could be quite something to wa

we have over 70% of our assets in europe today. just look at one company at a type finding quirkily idea that really are misunderstood in the market. and as more investors see what these companies are becoming, the stocks gets revalued. maria: we'll hear from jamie dimon, the ceo of jpmorgan. europe, they are growing again. expectations are 2%. >> absolutely. even though the growth rate is a lower number, 2%. the fact is it's 2% up from nothing before. so it's huge. so the mentality in the companies and board of these companies. it's so different than it was. i have been investing in europe for almost 30 years now. this is almost as good as when i first started because you have such a wave of change. we own vivendi. it's $38 bill market cap. they own universal music. and they have other assets. but for 10 years it was the biggest dog out there. it went down for 10 years. then four years ago a new shareholder came in and he has been so violently aggressive to turn it around. now they have all this content. he doesn't know where it's

and europe, the numbers really are encouraging. the chinese tourists have always been the fastest growing sector of the market. in the past asia has been growing fast, but the last few years more ma chir markture marh u.s. and europe, we've seen fast growth in those markets. >> you last year acquired a startup in california. that raised some questions about perhaps that was your first inroad into the u.s. what ambitions do you have for the u.s. market? you are prepared to take on the expedias and pricelines? >> yeah. mostly it's outbound travel, because we are doing so well with outbound travel in many markets, not just in u.s., asia, europe, we have best of the supplier and product coverage in those markets. tease are the same products not just visited by chinese but other tourists in the world. for these markets we have a good chance to succeed. for example, we are doing very well in hong kong, korea, japan, and those tourists, they come to china or come to other parts of the world, we have the best products >> this is more of a

the truth is, europe needs the investment. this has been a credit and cover recovery in europe. china is one of the significant investors in a number of regions in europe. view, closernt of economic relations are very important. do you worry about the next pboc governor and the challenges they have? away from the trade, if you look at the risks in 2018, the new person in charge will still have to deal with the deleveraging. >> china still has to be looked in reserves.b reser if you calculate that that 15% or 20% in the banking system. the net reserves, if you had to fix the banks, will be roughly half of the official number. however, what if investors failed to recognize that there is a very large. amount of savings across chinese consumers. which is over $20 trillion. of theonly take 5% savings and funnel the into thepitalizing banks and state owned companies, you have solved the problem. it's not a complete market economy. some of the savings from the national pension funds to capitalize the banks. to real issue is how engineer a future growth model, which is not too resource

hit western europe gets hit they're trying to deal with those things and when united states wakes up on the east coast they've got a chance to start responding to some of those things in preventing the attack so there's a little bit of time like they're also the effect that the business in the united states has taken a real hardcore look particularly with ransomware about how we train awareness within the companies not to open up files not to do certain things so i think there's a little bit better awareness occurring in in the u.s. than there is in some of these other countries and taught another area that i know that you're an expert on also the vulnerability is a cyber vulnerabilities in the older modes of transportation you know where they've got you know antiquated software planes ships i know they're talking about hacking cars but you know what's going to happen i mean could for example some hacker you know get into a ship's computer system say an oil tanker or even heaven forbid a cruise ship to take take control sounds like a plot for an action movie but could it actually hap

the rest of europe has said this is a breakthrough for europe. germany said we will consider macron's proposals. anchor: do the people of europe want this grand plan within eight years? who wants that around europe? the neighboring countries? the member countries? ordinary european voters? do they want to buy into this vision that martin schulz is going to go out there? >> i i don't think so. he is talking about the united states of europe. macron was talking about integrating the eurozone. we need to get momentum back into the european union. since brexit, we have been waiting around. his idea is if you start talking about moving the european union forward again or the eurozone, we are back on track. i do not know whether that is worrying people on the street, but to go out and sell this as a great triumph for social democracy is rather naive. what role does angela merkel play in all of this? one thing is for certain, it doesn't look good for the most powerful woman in the world that she is often called that she cannot call together a coalition
