the whole affair has its bearing on china and a european trade union. a grand total of 40 billion euros. it is constantly rising and it has been heavily investing in the peripheral countries. another investment project call -- causing headaches is pouring billions to infrastructure. some officials are not exactly thrilled. >> badly in need of recovery. the european fund for strategic investments or efs i is aimed at improving infrastructure. it helps projects get off the ground. in the next three years, they plan to spearhead public and private investment totaling 315 billion euros. the fund is based on guarantees of 21 million euros. it is meant to serve as collateral for 63 billion euros in loans and could stimulate project investment of 252 billion euros. germany has approved projects as have france, italy poland. china has announced it is ready to participate primarily in technology and communication projects. it could give china a say in the management of the fund. ben: officials signed a pact to create the infrastructure investment bank. the beiji

pushing for reforms in the european union and a referendum in the eu. tough topics likely create a different tone. >> simon young is uttering the queens visit. it lets pick up with what we just saw there. the prime minister comes in in the middle of this visit. did he just crashed the party? reporter: not exactly crashing the party, brent. the primus or has a very specific agenda that has to do with germany. tomorrow, he will be in brussels having dinner with his counterparts from the other european union member states. he gets the backing of some of them. migration policy, business regulation, and so on. angela merkel's support for that there will be a long way on the road to doing that. the prime minister doesn't usually come during a state visit by the queen. that is have a timetable has worked out. brent: the prediction about the politics being mixed with the state visit came true today. before we let you go, i've been told to ask you, what was presented today in front of the queen, the stereo type of well manicured lawns in britain. is that true? r

david cameron wants to negotiate reforms of the european union. he wants the support of his german partners for that. bringing the queen here at this time can look like, and a lot of analysts are suggesting that is part of an effort to remind the germans of what they like about britain and written -- and the importance of being in germany and having germany in europe. when the queen emerged from her jet this evening as she arrived in berlin she came out wearing a coat of a deep european blue-collar -- color. that is part of a deep commitment. brent: i would have missed that symbolism. we believe she has a personal relationship to germany, dozen sheep desk does she not? simon: she has a lot of german blood in her ancestry. her husband spent much of his youth in germany. this is her fifth state visit to the country and we remember particularly that first visit after the second world war. she had herself experienced what it was like in britain during the second world war. there are many personal links in her life and i am sure some of those memories

the european union has agreed to begin the first phase of a naval mission against people smugglers in the mediterranean. foreign ministers met to gather intelligence on human smugglers from the air and sea. a later part of the mission aims to destroy smugglers boats but the eu needs the backing of the u.n. mandate. it is hoped that the plan will stop migrants, risking their lives -- will stop migrants risking their lives trying to reach european shores. the refugee crisis has created a booming business for human traffickers. how do they operate? how do migrants contact them? booking a trip with a smuggler can be as easy as a quick internet search. we did our homework today. our social media team gave it a try. good to see you. what happened? >> it turns out this is a lot easier than we thought if you want to book a boat from northern africa to europe. all you really need is a basic knowledge of arabic and a quick facebook search. this is exactly how easy it is. take a look at what we did. we typed in tourist italy and these are the pages that come up. they look like they are cruise sh

both greeks want to stay within the european union but they believe that staying in the european union is important for the yes votes whereas the no votes of believe they should not be paying back creditors. brent: you just heard the speech from the prime minister, he urged a no and spoke against ultimatums and those who terrify you. is he referring to the creditors to those who would be able to get a new bailout from? matthew: the thing he is not saying is that it is all creditors, and he is referring to his campaign, and that is going inside and outside the country. for example he talked about the ultimatum for the greek government and european politicians who have given statements in favor of changing greece. but he talked about the conservative party and several actors on the ground here who are campaigning against the government. so yes, i think that overall many people think that this is a political issue and they are ready to sign the agreement. brent: yes, and we've got some live pictures to show of the rally for no going on there. what about the people there? you say they don'

a common currency modeled on the european union. similarly to the euro, the monetary union would be administered through a common central-bank. however, the implementation could take years. and not only because of the ongoing violence in burundi. there is another problem. the differing economic strength. the rondae is one of the poorest nations in the world. monica: that sounds familiar. it single currency, different economies. how is that community hoping to handle it? let's go to the africa desk for some answers. is that a good idea? cracks i think if you asked one or two years ago they would of said it's a very good idea. since them, we are in a very critical phase. not only in berlin the -- but economically and politically. they have a similar setting. and what is really coming close to common currency. it is a long way to go. to which the introduction of the currency has already been forwarded to. monica: the relationship is also somewhat strained following a trade agreement last year. tell us a bit about that. >> there is pres

europe and the european union remains the biggest exporting market for the united states. and also, america does not want the dollar to get too strong. today, the dollar gained about 1.5%. we did see strong gains on the stock market but not just because of greece. also some positive developments in china. but yes, the u.s. in general is hoping the greek issue will be dealt with in the next days and weeks. >> we will wait and see. thank you very much. european central bank has decided to keep the emergency liquidity assistance for greek banks at the current level. it comes after leaders agreed on a national bailout that includes 25 billion euros to recapitalize the financial system. the greek economy minister says this will safeguard deposits. athens has extended the bank holiday for two more days and as it will reconsider the situation on wednesday. >> greeks and become accustomed to these conditions. it banks of been st down for two weeks. so they can withdraw a maximum of 60 euros a day from atms. cashes in extremely short supply at the moment. this woman says, how are w

people arrive in the european union. we have not seen anything that is acceptable and standard of treatment. there is absolutely nothing waiting for them. >> volunteers try to provide support wherever they can. speaking to the press tsipras spoke to those distributing evenly. this is not a greek problem. it sits on europe's border and receives a huge number of refugees. this will prove whether we can become a europe of solidarity or a europe will be a place where everyone is only concerned with protecting their own country and their own borders. the united nations has also criticized the eu for not doing more to support greece. almost all of the migrants eventually move further north to eu member states. terry: we look ahead to sunday when the island state of singapore represents 50 years of independence and the transition to an economic powerhouse. all that and more coming up in just 60 seconds. stay with us. terry: welcome back. kabul on high alert after a series of palm blast. the taliban claimed responsibility after

terran: i think we already see the european union -- karen: i think we are a see the european union playing a critical role on the world stage. over a year ago, we saw a russia annexed crimea era. we see ongoing violence -- we saw a russia annexed crimea -- we saw russia annex crimea. we have seen 28 members of the eu agree on successive rounds of sanctions in coordination with the u.s. i think that has an a powerful response to the russian aggression. matt: finally, you mentioned some of the crises europe is facing at the moment. under the current way europe operates, do you think it is capable of handling them? or are they going to have to come to some decisions before they can really move forward? karen: one thing we have seen with all of these crazies is that you not only need the european union as an institution to respond, you need to see member states showing leadership . of all of these crises that i mentioned, it is germany as the economically strongest and most populous country in the eu that is being looked to for leadership. we have seen germany show that leadership on ukraine,

the challenge has become increasingly urgent for the european union. a dramatic increase in the number of people heading to europe. greece alone has seen a 750% increase. most of them are not planning on staying there. many are trying to get to more prosperous countries like germany and other european countries where there are no border controls. they follow what is known as the western balkans route. our correspondent joined a group of refugees that are trying to make that journey. >> they crossed the border on foot, carrying what little they have left in backpacks. more than 2000 people arrive each day. it is already overflowing in the early hours of the day. everyone here wants to travel further north as soon as possible. but it is not easy to come by. mohammed has been waiting for a day now. he is an english teacher. now he's stranded. >> this is a problem, but there are many people and for many nations, this is a big problem. >> the small town is completely overstretched. the only facility is by the rails which is where the refugees sleep. there's

the european union, a polarizing force, company -- countries like greece have tarnished the union for many, but for others it is the cornerstone of the european project. there was much talk of the possibility of a greek exit from the eurozone this summer. so, has the euro than strengthened by keeping the mediterranean nation afloat? or would it the stronger without a struggling member like greece? that is the ultimate question. opinions are divided. have a listen. >> greek olives are as popular as ever at this farmers market. [laughter] >> and they are not exactly cheap. 22 euros for this purchase. >> i have all of oil from greece . i get standard olives from the wholesale market. they sell like always, at least for now. >> many here see the benefits of eu eurozone membership. this frenchman has been selling produce in germany for 21 years and like many he does not want to see a more centralized euro. he says that eu member states should keep their centralized independence. >> countries should remain independent. >> tourists are certainly fond of the euro, which makes traveling easy.

sarah: some of the biggest critics of the european union come from within europe itself. right-wing populist parties have used issues like migration to whip up xenophobic and anti-foreigner sentiment. these parties are often hostile to the idea of a united europe. in recent years, eurosceptic parties have made significant electoral gains across the political spectrum. reporter: britain's ukip wants out of the eu. podemos in spain would like a different eu. one party in france would even like the eu to just go away. these are political extremes on the far right and the are left, but all of them are attacking the very principles of the eu -- these are political extremes on the far right and far left. >> we have radically different positions on many issues, but we want to give the people back their voice and fight the european and technocratic dictatorship. reporter: marine has repeatedly claimed france's being led from brussels, with success. the right-wing populist could easily be a factor in the next elections. nationalistic also fits the bill for nigel and his you could

guest: the good news is i believe the european union has a future, but the caveat is the european union is facing its biggest trust test since -- biggest stress test since its foundation. they have to demonstrate to its partners and to the united states that it's able to handle its own crises at home and as abroad. i can see that the european union will have or member states that the 28 member states, meaning that some member states like the brits, germany will need more confidence to go forward and have more confidence in areas like lauren and security policy and other member states will -- anchor: i'm so sorry, we have to leave it there. zizi:á>úññ

the plan to continue northwards towards the european union. 44,000 have made the journey in the last two months alone in search of hope and a home no matter how careless trip. in france, antiterrorism police are investigating a shooting which left three people wounded on a high-speed train traveling through the country. passengers overpowered a gunman on the empty van -- amsterdam to pair service. the suspect, 20 60 man of moroccan origin was armed with an assault rifle and a knife. he is said to be known to intelligence agencies. we will see bringing you more on that story and later programs. people interview will be going to the polls for the second time this year for elections. this comes after the country's political parties failed to form a coalition after previous polls in june. that was the first time that the justice and development party failed to win a majority since 2002. opposition leaders said he called the hole in a gain to -- a bid to regain majority. reporter: time for a repeat election. what he is not willing to repeat is the poor showing of his ready which lost thei

union yet. far more difficult to master than the battle in the fight about the future of the euro. sarah: sounds like a long road ahead. thank you. britain and france have announced a joint operation to tackle people smuggling. police will work together to stop gangs trying to smuggle undocumented migrants across the english channel. thousands are camped and hoping to cross to the u.k.. reporter: they are not giving up. even if it means living amongst garbage. these people are hoping to catch a ride on a train or bus. to travel less still a ways through the tunnel to britain on the other side of the english channel. -- to travel as still a ways through the tunnel to britain on the other side of the english channel. >> [indiscernible] reporter: that is likely to become more difficult. french and british ministers have traveled to announce a new operation to secure the area. they thanked police for stopping migrants from escaping and promise them reinforcements. a new joint control center. surveil

a new figure shows that more than 100,000 migrants entered the european union in the last two months. that is almost half of what happened a year ago. the eu's border agency requires a total of 340 migrants through july of this year. that is a sharp increase compared to 2014. and the numbers look set to continue rising. germany now expects three quarters of a million people to seek refuge status in the country in 2015. that is a threefold increase since last year. many enter through greece and then crossing to neighboring macedonia, trying to reach wealthier companies -- countries in northern europe. >> every time the train comes into the macedonian border town, thousands tried to push their pway into the already overcrowdd railway cars and the people here have made it out of reese, but now they have been stuck in the heat four days, without access to food or medical he lp. >> look at this phase. she is sick from the situation. >> nobody feels responsible for him and his family. methadone is one of the poorest countries in the balkans. it feels overburdened and it places the blame squ

she is accusing the left-wing party of following orders even by the european union. it is quite clear that she would do everything under the -- possible under the law to delay or even obstruct the vote. sarah: what are the chances that prime minister tsipras will get this legislation through? reporter: i think at the end of the day prime minister tsipras will have a majority and will approve the bailout package. let's remember this, tsipras has 149 seats in the 300 seat parliament. there have been similar votes last month where more than 35 mp's of the coalition have voted against tsipras and some say they may have more defenders. sarah: it's not even just tsipras, it's looking as if the party itself may not survive intact. there are rumors of an impending split. what more do you know? reporter: the chief of the internal left-wing opposition has indicated he may build a new lyrical party. he probably believes that his time has now come. many believe that after tonight's vote, he will build his own party in order to fight against the bailout package against the europe

union. from a greek point of view, it would enable more tax distribution of a silence -- of asylum-seekers across europe. with the situation on kos, there are more than 7000 refugees on an island with no more than 30,000 inhabitants. it is clear that local authorities cannot tackle this issue alone. eu immigration has been mobilized and will probably visitkos next week. we can only hope that he may suggest some solutions. >> when it comes to that situation, it is it a matter of not enough money to deal with it? because i look at the situation in greece, it has its own financial problems as well. >> it is not just a matter of money, but it is also a matter of me. on monday, about 470 million euros of financial assistance was dispersed in greece for assistance. that money will create settlements for about 2500 refugees. it is a good start, but not efficient. -- not sufficient. especially if you consider that only on kos they arrive more and more everyday. it is not enough money. >> thank you.

turkey, the united states, and european union have classified the group as a terrorist organization. outside the hospital, where one of the alleged group members is being treated, police arrested sympathizers. a few hours before the consulate attack, unknown assailant detonated a bomb near an istanbul police station. in an exchange of gunfire, one police officer and several of the attackers were killed. police are trying to track down those's possible -- as was possible for the attacks. sarah: time to head to istanbul where our correspondent is standing by fire skyb -- via skype. what were doing know about the motivation of the attackers in the attackers around the country? reporter: this fringe group has what it says is fighting against the u.s. imperialism, it has always had this strong anti-u.s. sentiment, particularly the u.s. military presence in turkey, and detectives follow deployment of six military jets to a turkish base to be used against the islamic state. security forces in the run-up to the tax have been arresting them as part of a broader sweep against the pkk and the i

what we have got calls from the european union? before ramping up sanctions against armed at pyongyang. we know that sanctions have not worked so far what options are left to prevent north korea. from escalating this furthe. nothing did thehere's no way to prevent them m from from. doing what they want to do. the question now is do we find ways to reach an understanding with sam. or find ways to. . try to manage the risks of this confrontation. i'm not convinced there any solutions here and there there's only a better or worse outcomes. it's probably in everyone's interest for the north koreans and united states.. to establish some means of crisis communications program yeah i'd see unwanted use of nuclear weapons and war.. there havee been forms of communication between the two countries like this in the past. mechanisms that werer established under the korean war armistice but currently the north koreans don't choose to participate. i think they should be urged to come back to those arrangements or something comparable. that is a

not working with other countries need to strengthen the european union not weaken it so party like that one should not be. that the opposition. now i'm going echoed that we have a sense that this in was. date per gaps between you. double had the ftp cousins is is faustin even greater than robinson both playing in the difference between you know and i still do you. can you imagine overcoming these differences would you be interested in that. coalition of this kind will being interested isn't the issue and certainly not this evening. use of the issue is taking this thing seriously and being responsible and. these are the that you wants why not say it now. this kind of denunciation well i really noticed during the election campaign you know i was a good sport but it's over now gradually we committed to the powers that waived the difference is. that the ideological and subsidy driven and usually transformation is what we're after we're interested and a market. economy approach listed and i think we could continue discussing who's ideological i mean if you look in north rhine. westphalia. fo

as we heard, greece is calling on the european union to help. i asked our brussels correspondent about the role of the european union parliament and what it can do now. >> protesting is the only thing the parliamentarians can do right now. 20 of them have spontaneously gathered in front of the building of the e european paparliamentnt. european parliament is only a cool legislator of the whole migration of policy process. so far, the member states refuse to accept anythey refused to tas from greece and to relocate them all over europe. this is the main problem right now. brent: let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. at least 10 people have been killed and dozens woundnded in a bombmbing in the afghan capitit. the attack tarargeted the cocountry's vice presidident, wo sustained minor injuries. no g group has gained responsibility -- claimed responsibly. the taliban have denied involvement. rescue workers recovered 22 bodies in a mamarble mine inin pakistan.. miners remain trapped. the cause of the ca

nato and the european union have not cited how they will react as they try to tackle the issue of standing up for someone who was not attacked on their soil. >> the german government is also facing calls to take action against moscow that can include canceling construction of the controversial nord stream 2 pipeline, which was scheduled to deliver russian gas directly to germany. melinda crane asked a conservavative lawmakerr how he ththought berlin should respond. >> i think it is up to the internatioional community as a whwhole and in particular europn partner countries to respondnd o this crime, whicich is at the se time an infringement of public international law because this nerve agent t is prohibitedd unr international law. our response should be a clear and quick response, and we have at f first to stand togogether,t at the same time react in a way that cannot be misunderstood by russia as weakness. >> one signal that would not be misunderstood is if germany were to suspend or terminate the nord stream 2 gas pipeline project. there's increasing pressure on the german government to

analyst: the european union is throwing a bone to the united states and hopes of improving the tense climate in trade negotiations. the european commissioner for agriculture called for a higher volume of duty for u.s. beef imports, as long as it is hormone free. the u.s. is keen to boost the amount of beef it sells to europe. under the offer, the u.s. could increase the volume of reef imports allowed under the import ceiling. this is the result of a meeting earlier this summer between e.u. president jean-claude juncker and u.s. president donald trump. imagine your alarm clock going off, turning on the lights, or opening the curtains and bring your coffee. automation could make your morning less stressful. for many of us, it might be a vision of the future. at the international consumer electronics fair underway in berlin, the smart home has already arrived. >> even the classiest cook can chill out in this kitchen. a camera that checks what is in the fridge, and projects recipe suggestions under the countertop , like how to make the perfect roast. the stove opens automatically, taking

the european union, iran, are sticking with the iran deal. but this is a delicate balancing act, isn't it? nicole: it is. i think they both follow the same goal. they want the iranian government to stop the nuclear program. the thing is, they want to achieve this goal with different instruments. the french president said pressure alone is not enough. we have to do something, we have to get the iranian government to be more transparent, to follow the rules. and we can reach this by monitoring their actions. and the iran deal was a way to do so, even though the europeans know that the agreement has a lot of flaws. and right now the idea of coming up with a new financial institution which will still provide for some possibility to do business with iran -- brent: that is what the european union is putting together. nicole: absolutely. they see a way of offering iran, basically, a tool to support what they want to reach. brent: and what about president trump in all this? do you think he would ever sit down with iranian president rouhani and talk a
