you cutting a line down the block in the shadow of the former. with eastern european members growing frustrated with brussels borders and the establishment put off by the eastern politician's behavior in particular with hungary's migration and political decisions is there room in the union for several political divisions the party should figure out a way to balance national and continental interests or does the e.u. risk being torn apart by the east west confrontation with their staff so it's really good to have you again on our program welcome back it's why on earth set out a map here there are tensions between hungary and ukraine over their rights of the ethnic and variance in the west and you have said that ukraine step hungary in the back what is your reaction going to be hungary is reaction. well you know hungary was maybe the loudest supporter within the european union to the ukrainians to get the visa free regime. through the grayness. agreement come into force and unfortunately a couple of days after that there was a regulation passed in the ukrainian parliament which

and it is twenty one as to the completion of the banking union of the reform of the european stability mechanism and with the maker economics. tools well these are important reforms and we have worked on them intensely together this is a political commitment that we undertake together this. all so require technical into ministerial work could until the end of the year fight after that and certainly in the following year we need also changes in the treaty that need to be streamlined and adjusted to this new policy then the european stability mechanism needs to be. equipped with and budget from twenty twenty one who also need to find common ground on the common eurozone budget well much needs to be done you cannot just settle this in just a few discussions in a couple of days no. if there is no political agreement and a common vision to act to these future challenges we will not have success and this has become very clear out of the defense policy and the migration policy well by enacting them we will react to the current challenge more. european sovereignty more european solid

people that there exist drawn in the worst crimes of european nationalism which are a prelude to nance's and joy and fascism the italy has been one of the countries hardest hit by the migrant crisis more than half a million people reached the country by boat from north africa in the past five years this year alone italy has taken in over thirteen thousand migrants more than spain and greece many of the newcomers arrive in sicily and that's something that's really divided opinion on the island. the chin via little bit it is just not right that they're invading us they're illegal if a person arrives here legally they are welcomed among these people they're also illegal immigrants and that can be tolerated but they need to be checked we need to know who's arriving these six hundred people as you say we don't know who they are not all of the honest people that it was on is closing the ports now i don't think that is right are only telling migrants have gone everywhere and they're welcome to squandered away. walter also refused to accept the ship saying the italian coast guard is resp

and co talking about the future of the european union. the e.u. doesn't know what to do with this member hungary where a strong prime minister all run by the vision for the future of the union so how will hungary hold under pressure and what will this dispute mean for the future of the union well i asked the hungary and foreign minister peter. a rift is widening across the e.u. cutting the lines on the lawn in the shadow of the former iron curtain with eastern european members growing frustrated with brussels orders and the establishment put off by the eastern part. in particular with hungary's migration and political decision is there room in the union for several political divisions. can the party should figure out a way to balance national and continental interests or does the e.u. risk being torn apart by the east west confrontation with their staff so it's really good to have you again on our program welcome back its way on their society value here there are tensions between hungary and ukraine over their rights of the ethnic and variance in the west and you have said that uk

this is facing the e.u. what withing did the european union in europe more in general were not able to address this emergency in the proper way international rules were not respected few countries including he telling my own country were completely left alone you know addressing this emergency and in searching and rescue people at sea and trying to avoid an immense a strategy to a tragedy to happen but there was no solidarity coming from the large majority of member states of the european union the didn't give an end at all to eataly greece but also to some other countries like germany and sweden the tried to welcome some of these refugees and to integrate them into society in the labor market of those countries so for countries along against the other twenty four were completely. burning or on their shoulders i mean the the world burden of this of this situation of this emergency and frankly speaking the situation is not going to improve at all because there is no agreement between the different member states despite of the air force of the day european commission put in place in t

the european union to the ukrainians to get the visa free regime and to make the grayness. agreement come into force and unfortunately a couple of days after that there was a regulation passed in the ukrainian parliament which always the rights of the hunger ians obviously when it comes to education on the mother tongue so so we made it very clear that we have to use all kinds of instruments in the toolbox of international politics in order to make sure that the rights of the young ones rule be restored and pretty soon he had signed a memorandum to nato suggesting that hungarian shouldn't abide by ukrainian lol why nato and do you think it's going to back up your number and well you know of your part of the alliance so it's obvious that we form our allies our policy towards a country which has the inspiration to go forward when it comes to the. integration path and that we will be very happy to come back to our position to support ukrainians on this path but definitely the ukrainians have to comply with the international regulations when it comes to mind there it is the values commis

and the european union will impose three billion dollars worth of tariffs on u.s. goods while the truck administration's goal is to reduce tariffs on u.s. goods it's not worked out that way at least so far meanwhile in a matter of hours in singapore president trump and kim jong il of north korea will hold the first ever meeting between leaders of the two countries after seven decades of hostility from the u.s. perspective the talks are an effort to denuclearize north korea and from the north korean perspective there is hope of getting rid of economic sanctions by the u.s. and other nations on north korea and as the g seven leaders disagree over trade tariffs and sanctions russian president vladimir putin and chinese president xi jinping are cooperating more as part of an expanded regional security block the shanghai cooperation organization or f c o while the group has existed since two thousand and one the first as c.e.o. summit took place over the weekend with two new and notable members pakistan and india at the event in an apparent reference to the united states president said

chancellor angela merkel is seeking emergency talks with several european nations on migrant policy as she struggles to avert a crisis within her coalition that germany's government has denied a report that a special summit is to take place. locked in a round with interior minister has the whole for who's threatening to defy her and go ahead with plans to unilaterally tighten germany's borders on monday michael is adamant to european solution must be found. say her heads the bavarian sister part of michael christian democrats with fears spreading that the deadlock could bring down the german government has now said he has no intention of splitting the conservative blog. he said this to the build times on top newspaper and nobody in the c.s.u. is interested in talking the chancellor dissolving the conservative parliamentary group all breaking up the coalition. bring in our chief political correspondent linda crane melinda we now have apparently the interior minister hasi who for softening his position somewhat is this the beginning of a compromise between him and chancellor merkel hard

territorially for over forty years why do you think has it taken so long for the europeans to wake up to this practice because they're only starting to noticing it now when it affects them directly well forty years ago we reacted. when there was a gas pipeline issue and reagan try to stop us and stop germany in particular but europe to build this pipeline was russian soviet union at the time saying that it was a security risk to american national security. we stopped and we took legislation which made it a crime for penalties for french or european companies to accept american legislation and to accept being under american law and i think there was a similar reaction to the hounds burton act right. so we use this so-called blocking statute in one thousand nine hundred six here again this started again this time on cuba on libya and iran. on cuba there was blocking legislation taken by mexico canada and the e.u. took a deal i think. with a blocking statute not only that we went to devon geo and opened a complaint against the u.s. and not only that we put together a list of american compan

and t.d. the general secretary of the european trade union confederation here's that conversation. and emigration is an issue that has divided the u.s. labor movement in the past before they reached their current pro immigrant position but immigration also is a key component of european politics and in recent years this issue has been continually controversial mr general secretary what what your position on immigration and a specific problem and choices facing the e.u. what we think that the european union in europe more in general were not able to address this emergency in the proper way international rules were not respected few countries including he told me my own country were completely left alone you know address in december urgency and in searching in rescue people at sea and trying to avoid an immense a strategy to a tragedy to happen but that was coming from the large majority of member states of the european union that didn't given and at all to eataly greece but also to some other countries like germany and sweden to try to welcome some of these refugees and to integrate the

davidto o'sullivan. o'sullivan, the european ambassador to the show. how would you characterize the relationship the united states has with members of the european union? guest: i think the relationship between the european union and the united states is very deep and very strong. we have deep connections, economical, the most important trading partners, and we share the same values as in democracy so, this is really the three pillars of our relationship, which i think are very solid. pedro: would you say there are of contention between the countries of the eu and the united states? ambassador o'sullivan: there are one or two issues between us these days. the decision of the administration to withdraw from the paris climate deal, the decision on iran, and issues over trade, sell yes, there are divergences between us, but you have to set this always in the context of the depth, breadth, and strength of the relationship. tariffs. can you explain what might happen? guest: distant ministration has --eatened to impose tariffs this administration has threatened to impose tariffs on steele

european politics at the university of surrey and in milan we cross to monaco bus on the he is a professor of political theory at the university of milan or a german cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate that they have on this let me let me go to you first in london we have somewhat of a crisis we'll see where it goes in italy we had the majority of italians going to the polls voting for parties that were against the neo liberal agenda of the status quo and i would also extend that to the philosophy of the e.u. and now we have a nonpolitical technical government and it looks like it's only a matter of time before there's going to be another election i mean where do you see this going because on the one hand you have the elites worried about share values assets and that's perfectly understandable i think that any anyone in power be worried about that but then you have the democratic process i mean how do you balance these two because this is where it's going to turn into potentially a crisis sometime in the fall go ahead they fo

borders in defiance of magical who wants to find a european solution. so with fears spread. but the newspaper nobody in the c.s.u. is interested in toppling the chancellor dissolving the conservative parliamentary group breaking up the coalition. bring in our chief political correspondent linda crane melinda we now have apparently the interior minister hasi who for softening his position somewhat is this the beginning of a compromise between him and chancellor merkel hard to say for sure because we are also seeing reports this morning that he told a circle of the the bavarian conservative party's leadership that's the c.s.u. party that's at the heart of this whole dispute he told them apparently i can't work with that woman anymore be furthering the two chancellor merkel so that makes it sound as if he is still seeing this as an absolute head to head power struggle but he did go on in the quote that he that you gave us to say that the c.s.u. as much as anybody else wants a sustainable solution and that's kind of an interesting term that would tend to indicate a bit of potential for

language authors you're a passionate champion of europe and the european union and that's the subject of your latest novel the capital it's come out at a time when many people are upset about the e.u. with all its internal divisions and they don't care much for europe kratz. are you hopelessly idealistic. this is even a comment on how you can support the idea of europe and still be very critical of the current state of the e.u. . there will be a four year old anything else would be ridiculous. if you ignore problems you lose credibility will it go pretty ok do you know if you want to advance the european project you have to criticize the way things are right now good to see that the concept is worth defending we need to develop a vision of what we want for the continent of these we call on the basis of something that can be summed up in a single sentence or something that everyone can agree with doing. no european country not even large states like germany will be able to master on its intervals for the great challenges that we face. as the rest of us even. if it did and i think. i don't

choose the former chancellor of australia and former president of the european council chancellor it's a great honor talking to thank you very much for your time and now you've heard my introduction and as far fashed as it may be i feel like there is that. a bit of a competition for europe's hearts. you have any american administration treating europe with less subtlety in them europe is used to now you have russia which is quite plainly asks me in that how do you see me here and will react so that. those who are on the american side don't see that really a competition for hearts this is more. to. fight to leave because they believe they have you already but this is maybe a little bit maybe a little bit wrong the. wrong side didn't intend to be faulted to because i think we should also put taked always interests and we are a good partner economically trade we we speak to international law and due to national norms but it would was close interesting good here to primakov readings to to listen. away in the sure india in a disciplined just because i'm used to go she said after a visit to th

curb migration it's an ambitious plan though lacking anything in the way of detail european council president donald tusk admitted it was too early to claim success but said it was an important first step despite this it came as a great relief to many european leaders. the start of the second round of the brussels summit was delayed by two hours the reason a long night of negotiations at the end of which the leaders managed to reach a compromise on migration cipel was implicit is that i'm very satisfied with this and it's a great victory for me europe has been able to make a decision even if it sometimes takes time we want to protect our citizens but we also have to stand up for the protection of people in need of help. the leaders grappled with tightening asylum policy for around twelve hours the new italian prime minister just happy content threatened to block the measures until he finally got what he wanted. rescued refugees will in future be taken to closed reception centers with in the e.u. this is meant to relieve countries like italy at the same time camps are to be set up in

. for brexiteers, membership of the european union must feel like the gordian knot. two years ago this month, the majority of those voting in a referendum said they wanted to leave. the uk will be out of the union at the end of next march. the biggest problem, though, is how to trade with the eu after the uk has left. new mechanisms are supposed to ensure that goods can cross the border without economically damaging delays; in the case of the land border between northern ireland — out — and the republic of ireland — in — the damage could be political. in december, theresa may, the uk's prime minister agreed a fall back position in the absence of customs arrangements acceptable to both sides. the eu and the uk said northern ireland would have to remain compliant with eu standards. this week, mrs may's cabinet colleague, david davis, her chief negotiator with brussels, threatened to quit, if she accepted a back stop without an end date. i hope you are following all of this! she satisfied him but that only served to alienate the eu further. alexander the great, according to l

agenda of european states who are demographically weak the demographic pyramid is inverted there are more old people the young people and for many years and decades now economists and policymakers have decided that in order to rectify this demographic problem in europe we need immigration we need to bring in people from outside in order to pay our pensions and that is the immigration issue. and as long as that ideology remains in place as long as the ideology is believed by these people as it is most notably in germany then i'm afraid the problem will continue ok roland you know thing is that this this is approach with open borders but if you believe that there are open borders then there are no borders to defend i think that's the paradox of what's happening in the western world you want to have open borders let people come in but then you can't defend your border when it's necessary go ahead roland. well. look there is no starts saying like a little political entity or a community without borders never in history and unique borders wide because you have to find the limits of what n

think it's not only the european union that is suffering from kind of treatment by the united states i think there are lots of grievances in russia there are also grievances in china and as you mentioned before europe was able to put forth a blocking law it also did that in concert with other countries for example ninety five there was also the u.k. mexico canada that passed similar legislation what are the chances of putting together such a call listen at this point of time not just the european unity but the european union joining forces with other countries who may be unhappy about the american practices. saul's of you know i'm not i'm not in charge at the moment so i absolutely don't have going for i don't know what is going on in the in the corridors of the european council so i don't think we have the end of the story. clearly that the meetings between the ministers have been talking . they've been talking to russians i'm sure by them all discuss it with president putin in simple terms will we have to try and find a way to at least keep the agreement with iran together because

in european security to which president putin responded by saying that don't tortilla russia can provide that security for europe and maybe take that as a joke as a kind of chutzpah but i think mr putin has actually meant to do you think there is still any chance of europe recognizing russia not only as a major security thread but as a major security partner could russia is a major part of for peace and security in those other budgets in the onus the always who i think you're russia if you want to live p.c. in the middle east and you need russia. to speak to hardly be constructive part of the european see russia that way because we have a problem with ukraine specially with these some parts of ukraine the premio case this is this is a burning issue and i think this is we sold these problems gradually and step by step we could really come back to do you know european house i know that you view the vans in ukraine as this turning point in the relationship between russia and. the european union and you referred to it as a major challenge to europe speech and security of water since

it's being called the mother of all european summit and aims to turn the almost impossible into a matter of public policy one plan to manage migration and secure europe's algor border that everyone agrees to from italy to sweden from poland to portugal and today the german chancellor said that migration could make or break europe's future it could very well make or break the chancellor's political tomorrow i break off in berlin this is the day. which today is a very important day it's good that we want sectional solutions to do what the people who lead the quest was going to do we believe in european solutions and co-operation our policies in the last year or so have started to produce results new migrants mean to stop them so we're talking about numbers that are presently manageable. to bring back so that's what the people will we shouldn't get into a panic state of mind for future planning all in all this in the instances when we talk about accidental border protection i'm fine with the idea of migrant stocking in other countries. shifting hundred downplay north africa at the co

knowledge to your relations with europe because two months no i did the european commission reported by law to relations with several e.u. member states not deteriorated rapidly at times offensive and unacceptable read to me one example this is what they say two months ago just as what the european union that what they were european countries and what they were european union says is right and whatever you say wrong. so tell you what it is it this is this is your problem you think that you are the boss you are the first class country you are the first you are the first class nations turkey is the second class country turkish people said anything about second class this is this is called you second class you don't have to say directly but this is we received this from the very the from the point that you have how you are treating turkey and turkish people and are you i have tried to be an hour late being treated for exercise their right to tell you whether you can give a speech which would have security implications how about the freedom of assembly. freedom of speech and you are trying

campaigner, chuka umunna. he wants britain to be a part of the european economic area, just like norway. but is he going against the spirit of brexit while also being disloyal to his own party leadership question mark ——7 chuka umunna, welcome. this new amendment would give britain full access to the single market. surely that is what you want, why not supported 7 i surely that is what you want, why not supported? i will be voting for the labour amendment as we call it here in britain but also voting for a cross—party amendment supported by a cross—party amendment supported by a number of parties in our house of commons which sought to keep us in what is called the european economic area. that is the only way you can have genuinely free access and be a pa rt have genuinely free access and be a part of the framework of standards that help consumers, the environment, employees. that is the only way to do it. the intention behind the amendment is not a bad one but you cannot actually achieve the jet unless you remain in the european economic area. lets clarify this. you say

sackur. one issue, more than any other, is polarising european politics and dividing the european union — migration. in germany it threatens angela merkel‘s grip on power. from italy to austria, to hungary and poland, it is driving policies and threatened to smash continental consensus. my guest karin kneissl is the foreign minister in austria's right—wing nationalist coalition government. are europeans finding their authentic voice or is a dangerous brand of populism poisoning politics? karin kneissl, welcome to hardtalk. thank you for the invitation. thank you forjoining us from vienna. i think we have to begin with migration. opinion surveys across europe show it is now the european public‘s number one concern. they appear to be apprehensive, they appear to be frightened about immigration. and, yet, the numbers of immigrants coming into europe year on year, right now, are actually going down. so how can you explain the rising apprehension? well, we have seen the year 2015, and i think one of the main reasons why british voters voted to say yes to brexit was because ther

european minister of the interior goes against european law let me say once again that if you enter in june on a european level or through bilateral agreements. there is. essentially the option of doing this in accordance with european law to turn away i'm done contented to sign seekers at the border then that would be wonderful and we certainly wish the chancellor every success in achieving us that we remain clearly getting with the position that if this doesn't succeed that we want to say to ensure that it is possible to turn away this loophole at the border now from after it is in for. the original decision to do this immediately i wanted to make this a little bit more specific as soon as i'm back and berlin well it's well those border. the german border police. turn away anyone who has a ban on entering germany or who does not have a residence permit and in germany on the goods they will be turned away at the borders immediately. this will not take place today both of may not. and in cuba. my recent time in my position i have found out that this isn't being done i cannot explain

who wants a european solution. from the top of the hour reserve in the meantime don't forget you can always get the latest updates from our website that's the dot com up next here on news an exclusive interview with german all thought rodman says. there's no. i'm not just you know. you know the banks pay you money and so what's the language of the bank. speaking the truth global news that matters g.w. made for mines i think you. know. just the same came. with the senses. and recognize and experience the inexpressible. the cultural magazine. arts twenty one. g.w. . or back manassas to what mendelssohn you're austrian and one of today's most important german language authors you're a passionate champion of europe and the european union and that's the subject of your latest novel the capital it's come out at a time when many people are upset about the e.u. with all its internal divisions and they don't care much for your a crutch. are you hopelessly idealistic it was just. this is even a comment on how you can support the idea of europe and still be very critical of the current stat

perspective in terms of what that actually is. i've discussed this with our european allies and friends and partners. i always try and make the point this wasn't president trump making this point. he's really speaking for the american public. if we expect america to be steadfast in our relationship, the least europe can do is contribute their fair share. the other point i want to make, and the other, you know, bone of contention obviously is trade. we hear the massive trade deficits. the fact of the matter is we export, in 2017 we exported about $285 billion. we imported $629 from the european union leaving a trade deficit of about 101 billion. about 19 percent of what we export. i understand that the president is trying to reset our trading relationship, shock our european partners into really reducing tariffs. i think the best term that the president has introduced in the debate is reciprocal treatment. it would be great to have total reciprocity in our trade relationship with no tariff barriers. that's a worthy goal, and we hope to achieve that as quickly as possible. dr. mitchell, i

it is this a turning point here because i don't i hear this from europeans all the time but it never nothing changes you know it is but my point of view is that it's very dangerous for europe because if we continue in a disease first we go against our interests which is bad for our companies of europe and companies are he is about forward population that is about for europe because some countries you know eat an easy example we can go out of this agreement generally in europe so europe can explode when they if we not so it is public i seems a president michel as an historic or opportunity you know is the goal is to a deuced this book to say stop the constant let me go to you because i think it's really interesting and when we look at a greater eurasia political economic and trade space is this a duplications of western institutions that were put into place after the second world war i think of the i.m.f. bretton woods and these kinds of institutions are there's a there's a interesting. literature about the world beyond the west or parallel to the west is this something you would see

from the grove as we heard there the european union leaders have reached a compromise agreement over the whole migrant issue there are some major changes that have been put forward and these include the fact that migrants can no longer choose where they will live migrant centers will be set up in non european countries at the same time there will be more support given to mediterranean countries that are affected by the whole migrant crisis the relocation of migrants across europe will take place on a voluntary basis and the dublin agreement that essentially says that the responsibility for care of migrants waits on the country where their migrant entered europe will this is now going to be completely revised and what it means is that we will see a joint u. of p. and forces monitoring rescue operations in the mediterranean sea and the responsibility for those not falling sold me on the shoulders of the italians the agreement however is non binding and it comes in an effort by europeans to show solidarity after late on thursday the italians refused to add here to agreements that had be
