and the future of europe. may be different cultures should be taken more into account because greek has a specific certain history culture it's a different from the italians from. the swedish people so. her cheerily differences should be taken into account in decision making process and should respect the debate in europe goes on and these young people are here to contribute to it. so there are cultural differences the differences between the young and the old and then there's the disconnect between politics big business and the public which has led to protests across switzerland this week directed at the world economic forum for many people davos stands for an out of touch global and neat set on multiplying their own extreme wealth and leaving the rest behind that is why officials here have launched a campaign to connect with those who can't afford to the expensive trip to the forum. celebrities like will i am politicians see us can feel like a big speech bubble. in twenty eighteen every day people connected

i'm my first missy he said france is back france is back it's a cool for europe. because we'll never have any friends since this is without a europe instances hard said france is back everyone's talking about that quote max he said france is back at the core of europe was there with of france first in that message you know he draws on patriotism of course because the french like to be still but the gong still they are patriotic but just know what simon just mentioned he spoke in english i don't recall any french president really doing that with at an important speech in the past so that shows you he is not in the spirit of america first that's propagated by the trumpet ministration that represents a closed model that presents bilateral relationships he represents an open model of globalisation if it's done right multilateralism i just mentioned it so i would say the two could probably not be much farther apart. simon did you miss anything in until america holes speech what did she not say we have. talks about free trade in about combating of protectionism and nati

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

exceed the amount of output from other operations like they have in mobile alabama or what they have in europe it's very interesting alex that you know the president mccrone witt was there with the air air bus executives and i wonder you know thinking about whether or not that would that would happen in canada or whether or not president trump would be you know taking a boeing c.e.o. to the china what are your thoughts about that look trumper he did it last year and he got a deal for three hundred planes with china to come out of of course out of the american companies right so we're specifically talking about boeing so boeing has a deal and this is another reason the europeans are here they saw three hundred point order from china through trump so why not send mccrone he's a sort of the glitter boy right now from europe everybody's talking about him so the same type of operation sentiment and see if he can get more planes to be signed on or trying to sign on for more points now they were thinking that they might get a deal for one hundred this was not a part of the delegation or what they wer

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 and as i know what i thought of 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 great to sovereignty a 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 to. 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. that was max hoffman reporting earlier from paris here's a look now at some of the other stories that are making news around the world community court has sentenced the man who sold a pistol to the shooter in the ci

and do you think that the refugee crisis in europe will have a major impact? >> i think when it comes to it it already has. the president wants to make sure we don't see here what is happening in europe. what has the president said? there will be no more diversity lottery. there will be no more chain migration. we will not fall victim to what we are seeing in europe. compare it to the new year's eve speech. these two sentences were next to each other. they respearen't taken from dift parts of her speech. it is threat number one. in the next sentence she said despite that being the case we will maintain our open door policy to refugees. that is the textbook when you go to a psychiatry book. that is the definition. we will not allow that to happen here. the idea that i just came from a week in australia and new so zeala zealand, is anybody familiar with that? probably the toughest immigration policies in the world. if you cannot demonstrate while you should live in australia and why there is nobody that can want do the job that you want to do you will not become

has welcomed one of europe's staunchest anti immigration leaders to its winter convention the hunger area leader viktor orban was in southern bavaria to deliver a key speech to delegates prime minister orbán is a longstanding and vocal critic of angela merkel's refugee policy and today he harshly criticized her stance on the european union refugees and migration. addressing the media outside of the convention orbán portrayed current european migration policy is as suffering from what he calls a democratic deficit. the europeans have a clear opinion one could say the will of the people is clear they don't want to live in fear of terrorism they want security they want our borders to be secure and they want those who have no justification for living in europe to be taken back to where they come from so they can restart their lives there. and for more let's bring in mikhail of course now our correspondent who is covering the c.s.u. party meeting and mckayla we just saw garion prime minister orbán there again criticizing germany's refugee policy as in harsh terms we have to say what wa

he started his visit with an informal dinner with a group of some of europe's most powerful business executives and just as had been expected he wasted no time in pushing his america first agenda congratulations i just want to say that there's been a lot of warmth a lot of respect for our country and a lot of money billions and billions of dollars is coming into the u.s. and people are very happy with what we've done not only on the tax bill but also cutting of regulations and i think also prematurely or for a country you know if you're not a cheerleader for your company or for your country. no matter what happens it's not going to work and that's what i've been and that's what my whole group has been so his audience included top executives from corporate giants including nakia volvo and siemens the business leaders seated around the table introduce themselves and describe what their respective companies were doing to make america great again. trump is due to give the w a f closing address later today of just over four hundred speeches which have been made during the forum this one i

in germany or in europe but in the u.s. on almost every time trump tweets because there's a kyra and there's a discussion around it. and it also is the case online and i think the print. producers which are all dejavu york thank you very much for having me. turkey's incursion into northern syria is in danger of escalating that says rockets fired from within syria in turkey killing two people and wounding several others turkey's president has also vowed to expand his army's offensive words where they risk approaching u.s. forces stationed in syria u.s. president warning turkey against that move as the fighting intensifies. the shot to turn of yield to this evidence of the force that turkey has brought to bear enough turkey's government is determined to press on with all of branch which to them has been a success so far it's because. the operation will continue until the threat is removed . but the kurdish y p g wants the world to know that they would surrender the enclave without a fight. we will resist and will not allow th

would say for people in europe especially in western europe who support the transatlantic relationship and want it to continue because you have a lot of which is most people and you know just maybe most people but you have mainstream people also in germany and in the s.p.d. in the social democratic party for example saying you know we really need to rethink this whole relationship and look at our options and put wind in the sails i would say to people who might have been a little bit skeptical of the relationship with america to begin with and of this is one of your special fields. i'd like to say. as much as i agree that he's erratic in the foreign policy area too we do see continuity is and we do see a lot of course here and the ideology behind it is very clear here and it has been put out there early in the presidency by herbert mcmaster and gary cohen an op ed for the washington post saying that it's. portraying the world as an arena of competing actors and they have been going on with that they have been looking at the world like that ever since and it also shows in the national s

speech tomorrow now meanwhile we've heard already from mccrone and merkel and they both had sort of europe first message that they were putting out which maybe isn't as nationalist as america first but it's not globalist either which is a bit strange in the setting of this forum let's take a lesson it isn't gentlemen my my my first miss each he said france is back france is back it's a call for europe because we will never have any friends to exist without the europeans if between our twenty seven member states we're not able to send a clear and united message to major powers such as china india and the united states if foreign policy is made on the national level then we will feel that. and today during teresa mayes speech at the conference she also had similar sentiments talking about how the u.k. would be one of the best places to open a company or to work on a a lot of we would be the best country to open new businesses to start new things in the safest country to be on the internet so a lot of that sort of idea of european leaders looking at their own countries in europe as a whole as

it is the only issue that europe? it is the only issue that europe and us are currently at odds. from germany, my chancellor, mrs merkel, has been clear invoicing the criticism of mr trump. i think, yes, it is important because, of course, it is important because, of course, it is important to keep iran in place and to have... see some limitations of its nuclear programme but i guess with regards to the relationship between europe and the us we will see if there will be improvement over the course of the year because they have been quite a number of areas where there has been strong disagreement. historically it has not been the case and not in the public domain that much. a story here about a fukushima water decision. a decision that is due sometime later this year. japanese regulator saying that water stored at the fukushima won plant can be dyed looted and released into the sea. it is faced with criticism by fishermen in the area who are saying they fear there could be some sort of impact on fish and environment even though the regulator is saying this is harmless once the wat

and europe because of this. possibly western europe but certainly not the ones in the east who have been relying on america all this time to get relief from the big bear and for the last eight years of the obama administration that many eastern europeans have been terrified that nothing american would ever stand in the way of russia again and they've got to see this set of potential sanctions as something they can relax and get a night's sleep over so i'm i'm kind of pleased that the traditions of the obama administration have been tossed in the waste basket and we're moving toward with traditional american stances in eastern europe where leave it there dave perkins radio talk show host and political commentator thank you very much thank you thank you kate. now the international paralympic committee has up held its ban on the russian team for the upcoming winter games some clean athletes but not all will be allowed to compete in south korea in march under a neutral flag i.p.c. president andrew cason said moscow

or something like that it was speaking of europe does kansas apply to europe i mean where is your would you say most of your kansas. this listen what i described in kansas fifteen years ago now is happening all over the western world this is happening all over this is happening in france this is happening in australia that's happening in the netherlands it's happening in england ok maybe not germany germany is a prosperous country with a very strong welfare state it's not happening in scandinavia right same thing they're prosperous countries with a very well established welfare state but this is happening everywhere you go the you know the neoliberal economics is leaving people behind do you think that the strongest kryptonite against a kansas that you write about is the social welfare state of europe. oh i would say an american version of that yes i mean you got a member the most prosperous the days that people who are as old as me and older we remember a time when this country was very prosperous in the middle class was a healthy thing in those towns out in kansas and missouri and whe

less integration into europe on one to cut corporate taxes something especially the social democrats are absolutely opposed to so the social democrats on the other side they are very reluctant to go again into this grand coalition as it is called here in germany as they have been in a grand coalition for the past four years and it didn't serve them at all they also we have to remember made. worst election result in the park city since world war two so they are very reluctant to go into these party talks and then in the end there's chancellor merkel c.d.u. party and that's the only party that has remained calm and during the last weeks they are the only ones that really say yes we want to have this coalition we want we need this prime coalition. seems to be the last chance fungal americal to remain chancellor all right so if these talks fail then what are the alternatives. well they're not so many in the end. ready trying to form another could government together with the the business friendly liberals on the center left and eco friendly green party but these talks after several weeks

soldiers in europe with such controversial a commander in chief in washington many people in europe are wondering is america still a reliable partner. john or ben hodges welcome to conflict zone thanking show republican senator bob corker the head of the foreign relations committee of the u.s. senate said president donald trump threatens other nations in such a way it could lead to a third the world war do you agree. well course as a soldier my job is to make sure that our soldiers are as well prepared as they can be for whatever contingency. should arise our focus is on deterrence. working as part of the alliance most successful alliance in the world in history the world so but senator bob corker said if we want to speak more about this vote that the president of the united states is today more a danger than a help for peace i mean again i don't know trump threatens other nations in such a way it could lead to with third world war two you agree with that i think that the president has done everything that the previous administration said it was going to do the president and this admini

and the future of europe. may be different cultures should be taken more into account because greek has a specific certain skills three 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. the debate in europe goes on and these young people here to contribute to it. to corporate news now in u.s. chip making giant qualcomm will have to pay a close to a billion euros an anti-trust penalties to the european union the e.u. as competition commission or m i got into fest august said qualcomm paid apple to use its chips exclusively in its i phones and i pads that means the company illegally excluded rivals from the market for l.t.e. baseband chipsets for at least five years ensuring its own market don its. and more troubles at general electric ahead it posted a whopping ten billion dollar loss in a five percent decline in revenue last quarter the poor performance was driven by a fifteen billion dollars char

on the internet so a lot of that sort of idea of european leaders looking at their own countries in europe as a whole as a leading force but of course we still have the rest of today and one more day tomorrow of davos and we'll see what else comes out of it economist keith boy field gave us his views on what the u.s. president will be hoping to achieve at the davos for. what do i expect from mr trump's visit to dive ostroff a lot of security and police and army also you've got to bear in mind that mr trump has a stable genius as he puts it and he likes to bestride the world stage and so i think because the mr of the president of china was the great favorite star at davos last year i think mr trump wants to be the star this year i think that there will be a lot of politicians wanting to speak to the gallery mr trump will be wanting to play to his political base over in the state so he wants will want to be seen to be talking tough and in a similar fashion mr mack wrong mrs merkel who's still trying to form a government in germany will also be wanting to be seen to be supporting their nation

bavarian friends that i think in the year twenty eighteen we will restore the will of the people in europe you need. for your case study tony. and that the european people step by step will force decisions concerning refugee policy that are in their best interest. the man responsible for inviting orbán is horst the who for the c.s.u. party leader who will be part of the coalition talks with the s.p.d. beginning on sunday to the s.p.d. or bond's visit is a slap in the face nonetheless they hope for makes the point of openly supporting orbán. any downed viktor orban respects the rule of law in a newspaper interview s.p.d. leader martin schulz complained about the c.s. use meeting with e.u. euro skeptic orbán warning about his refugee policies at their meeting at the say on monastery the c.s.u. is showing an aggressive stance this could prove difficult for the upcoming coalition talks. political correspondent joins us from the c.s.u. party conference is being held welcome if i think we're too old to speak looks like . our own political allies are trying to sing coalition talks before they

what is good for europe is good for germany and germany is an integra part of europe and unthinkable separate from that so you don't have a kind of nigel farage kind of personality here in germany really pushing that issue and even the alternative for germany is kind of backed off on that and is heading more for the migration issue but europe has also become the first chapter of this agreement this is to highlight how important it is. of course is as former president of the european parliament feels particularly comfortable with that issue of talking about europe and german chancellor angela merkel coming out of these very tough talks also said that there would be depart to new starting point on european policy now that would certainly mean and we see it here competitiveness that's what the c.d.u. often stands for and you really have the business interests here at heart but also solidarity and that's very much a message to the core of social democrats support is something they can also. associate something with which for them is not really such a lofty issue because otherwise you hav

european leaders were also at the forum and just like trump there europe first ideas went against the grain of the summits globalist stance it isn't gentlemen my my my first miss each he said france is back france is back at the core of for europe because we will never have any forensics this without a european success if between our twenty seven member states we are not able to send a clear and united masses to major powers such as china india and the united states if foreign policy is made on the national level then we will feel not. a number of central topics on this is gender diverse actually had little to do with economics at all focusing instead on race privilege and harassment all of the big hitters of two thousand and seventeen but author and editor joel surnow thinks that the shift in focus is simply a facade regard those pigs to the zero point one percent of the people they have very little concern about or what the rest of the people are getting so it's one big club and it's to deal making club again all those other little things about you know gay rights equal pay or that'

though both parties make it a priority it is not clear how much further integration of europe there will be on the continuation of a possible continuing to new nation of a grand coalition overall we're hearing though that the atmosphere is good and that the that both parties remain optimistic and confident that to reach an agreement at some point. in this night from thursday to friday it'll be a long night that's for sure hour and a long night ahead if talks end up being says successful what happens next what's the word for forming a government. well then the tricky part actually starts martin shultz the leader of the social democrats will tour germany and he will campaign for the results the preliminary results that were reached in these exploratory talks and he needs to complain very hard because the grassroots of the social democrats is against a continuation of the grand coalition so he will have to convince his ponty members who then will meet at a party convention in about a week time and at that party convention they'll vote on this whether they want to have a new grand coali
