and europe and. europe and the united states. in this case is much more the responsibility of united states i think if i can say they'd been leader she would decide. that europe is becoming the united states. ask you one more question about values because it's very interesting to me you've been very supportive of president micron's call to build a new european. would say that you have to kind of put your own house in order before embarking on such grandiose plans when it comes to values what do you make of. that wasn't in keeping with the values. the. the weather. in the middle class from my point of view big mistake of managing a measured decision about the taxation i'm specifically asking about street action because when you have people that are breaking out destroying everything on the other hand also have the use of explosive grenades and. mains and kills people we are not seeing that even in authoritarian societies these. are not seen in the. at least 10 fatalities and several 1000 injured. and people losing eyes people losi

across europe. to take. people off neoliberal economic perspective have been in power for quite some time everyone has to take responsibility in this very challenging time and of course there is a demand in our society due to the be good the normal that we are leaving and the fact that the gist of the deepest economic and financial crisis yes we. are going much more coming back on the show at least 6 in the. but we came out that we dealt a measure of these 2 options in any case when he was saying that the many of them only say no and. the magic example and the message they can buy all the property the so for example. they say no for 3 they do not succeed. and you see that from one e r. or the. police and the. right wing parties are still despite. in power in italy in hungary in austria in poland there. in france it is expected that there are going to consolidate their presence in. the may elections. what is it in the policies of the. driving the support. i am asking you to be critical. because you are ultima

things come into europe as climate change. you had hippopotamuses in the thames 100,000 years ago, you know? and those changes will continue. but the thing that worries me is the crops. you look at what has happened in northern germany with extreme weather events and the impact on crops, and you see it around the world. i mean, ourfood security is at stake here, and a political stability. your book illustrates very intriguingly some of that bestiary that existed in europe a few millennia ago, and there are still those connections, the pig nosed and other turtles in australia were once living here in the you have supported the woolly mammoth revival project that could revive the mammoth on this continent. why? i'm an adventurer. i think this is a wonderful adventure to be on. but even more than the woolly mammoth, the thing i would love to see back here is the straight task elephant. to see back here is the straight tusked elephant. you know, because the european straight tusked elephant, basically it is a hybrid, but its ances

particular into 1000 of 121314 with the hundreds of thousands of people crossing into europe now europe is not the same you have breaks it and you have that the rise of the populists of the far west and we're talking about the need to fix the problem of migrants when you have could not be the same again isn't this something this is going to definitely have been a huge impact on the issue of migrants in the near future. well firstly i don't think we should talk about the problem of migrants because the real crisis within europe is the demographic crisis and if europe doesn't actually accept new populations it really will have problems and that is true for every country in europe even those that are most fervently against accepting new populations so i think what we've seen is that the extreme right has been able to exploit the situation that was provoked by the conflict in syria which led to quite a large number of people seeking protection in europe however even during that situation in 2015 the numbers of people arriving in europe were far less than the numbers seeking protection in ot

in regard to the round deal that europe continues to abide by surely one that you get out of well we didn't walk out of it the president had states at that time barack obama entered into that agreement. over the objection of a lot of us it did not have the things in it that it needed to have and it was very weak it did indeed address one issue but i viewed the iran. deal as a deal to try to discipline a bad boy in the classroom that was doing 5 bad things they dressed one of them but they're interested a big one didn't they dressed one of them a big one they addressed one of them ben rhodes in the short time that we have left let's look ahead to the next presidential election next year. what kind of democratic party do you think is going to be capable of beating donald trump with his massive following his dominance of the airwaves his dominance of social media which proved so devastating in the last presidential election what kind of democratic vote is going to be able to i think under the current of the massive following is 40 percent he is the most unpopular us president to run for

you describe europe not so 313 pages. you describe europe not so much as a continent but as an appendixjutting so much as a continent but as an appendix jutting out into the atla ntic appendix jutting out into the atlantic ocean. yet, from what you say, it is an appendix with quite a lot in it of learning for us now. what is it about europe's experience and its experience of climate change, dramatic payment change before, that informs your thinking now? well, look, europe has been a crossroads of the world. it has been where asia, africa and north america have met over the millennia. it has a lwa ys have met over the millennia. it has always been invigorated by things from outside coming in. it's climate has changed dramatically over time, but what we see in the current era is that we are seeing a change of such a large scale it is hard to find an analogy to it in the previous fossil record, and of such speed. it is happening 30 times faster than the melting of the ice at the end of the last ice age. so in any agenda or a

are both stepping up their military presence in the region but europe or at least continental europe is refusing to get on board of the u.s. that naval mission and is instead continuing to put its face in the nuclear deal struck with iran in 2015 which president trump withdrew america from last year. so our question this week here on quadriga is iran crisis europe on the sidelines and to discuss that question i'm joined here in the studio by ali for toller nature . middle east expert with think tanks like the brookings institution and the german council on foreign relations old news that's the big challenge is to transcend to equally simplistic perceptions of the islamic republic europe's tendency towards glorification of washington's palm schol full demonising. also with us is alan posner a regular commentator for the bergen based daily. he believes that europe is on the front line of iran's aggression if we choose appeasement he says we will pay dearly for cowardice and a very warm welcome to to order him to have a man who is a business journalist with another berlin daily to targe

awaking all across europe. means white that that's why i said we are meeting was to protect the european identity the european christina roots for example the european culture detail and culture but it is you that is giving to this identity. the. arrest of the blow up and that's not the demeaning in any way that the league and our representatives are doing so we want to protect the cultural roots the christian roots of europe it's not hard to work out what you go around saying muslims equal threat was an equal threat over and over and that now some of the analog some people are going to react badly and some people are going to turn violent we want to treat the german germination they don't even the european union but we're talking about germany here we don't want to have that a muslim country we accept muslims there are lots of muslims who are well integrated into our society who take place no problem everything's fine but what we do not want to accept is that islam is starting to have an impact on our social l

house of europe look. generally speaking. this this conflict started when when the british seized in the iranian tank off civil war 2 it was down to syria syria is has been the object of a range and aggression they basically occupy the country their own. country and we've seen one result in a huge wave of refugees so we are on the front line of iranian aggression in that respect also we are though we in germany are more dependent on russia russian oil than we are on oil from the persian gulf with europe as a whole is much more dependent on oil from that region than for instance the united states which is not an oil import it's not export so we should be taught we in europe should be much more worried about what iran is doing than for instance america needs to be and and we talk about this as if it were a conflict between you know from the ayatollahs but in fact donald trump has no interest whatsoever in you've said it i'm not going to you know grip it all the reasons he would be scared stiff many good reas

europe, i'm very proud to be european but we need a different europe >> very proud to be european but we need a different europe the biggest risk to europe today is not nationalism it's the lack of vision. at the end of the day, how can you have the growth and stability pack if you have no growth the lack of growth will lead to instability so perhaps in the future you may be looking at a broader europe that's focus will be primarily on reinvigorating european growth and that could bring a little bit more stability to the block as a whole. >>> days after a controversial decision to end parliament he has instructed his team twice a week in the run up to the european summit. while i have been encouraged with my discussions with eu leaders that there's a willingness to talk about it it's now time for both sides to step up the tempo. meanwhile opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn vowed to bring forward it as soon as they return from recess next eek. >>> we are going to try to politically stop him on tuesday in order to legislate to prevent a no deal brexit and also try to prevent him shut

so west europe the europe is in crisis. if it's to have a future it will meet champions young champions. lead me philanthropists your country. your function should. do they stand a chance of going to save the courage an idea. to get on you to stand up for values and contribute to something important. future of europe starts september 2nd on d w. live. is the state every news africa coming up in the next 15 minutes brutality on the streets symbolically and please these opposition supporters who these for the protested despite a bad will we see more seems like this in the coming days the m.d.c. has vowed to continue the demonstrations. and comic relief for the ones who have lived through hard losses in the central african republic are using p.s.s. to make people aware of the new paltz destine set up to prosecute war crimes committed in the country talking to.

but i think that europe. is not the western world where we are report of the western world and europe should reconsider the concept of its sort of vanity it has its allies. and in the world. what we see in this world today that's the world we're. in western hegemony is under question and europe needs to play it smart so bad why the dialogue between europe and russia is the necessary things so that your opinion viewing in the crude. habits way again could play a substantial a part in the world today so we all need this of course we can result average thing . in one day but we're going to work on a in the future. 7 well there is no 7. how can we go back to that doesn't exist i mean today's g 7 but we cannot go back to g 8 because g 8 doesn't exist. there's no g 8 as for g 8 well we never say no. it was russia's turn to host to its. and our partners didn't come well they're welcome any time please. while they can come even as g 7 but there are other organisations in international institutions that ply a signific

it's no secret that europe's populist and nationalist parties again. to try and make a splash at the coming european elections but who's helping them we are nationalists we are socialists so we leave all our members with the own with the own. vision and principle in respect of what is except the usual use comfortable phrases like it's a club meant for the exchange of ideas from nationalist populist movements across you're talking strategy for bannon it's far more combative than that isn't it he called it gumming up the e.u. parliament in other words blocking your purpose is essentially destructive no it's to review not building you know you're breaking this now we are we are reinforcing and rebuilding the preeminence of national what is he say he said the beating heart of the globalist project is in brussels if i drive the stake through the vampire the whole thing will start anticipate well pretty self-important play with we we analyze the situation in the sense that the e.u. system like the us ultimately ends up as imperialism a kind of imperialism i

and in europe. without that sense that people need to go out and spend on projects today because if you don't, it is going to be more expensive tomorrow, it is very hard for value to rally. the project of reigniting inflation, of all the things globally in the world that look most at risk, that is probably the one. if we slip into a deflationary ofle, if hsbc's concept there being no inflation is correct, that spiral becomes really dangerous. guy: how does europe get a steeper curve? if i may corporate and i'm looking at a negative curve, my cost of capital, the numbers i would normally work with are just thrown out the window and i'm trying to figure out why invest, none of the normal things i would do as a cfo or ceo work. what do we need to do in europe? what do european companies and european equities need to start to get valuations moving in the right direction? jimmy: it is not just that. the paradox of negative rates seems to make people more defensive and safe more. guy: it is logical, and a

europe? oksana: they have divorced each other completely. there is no relationship between fundamentals and prices in credit in europe, which is why we have stayed out of it. that is what happens when the european central bank provides an inordinate amount of demand for the credit market. you have high-yield names, junk rated names trading at negative yield. it is really unclear what puts a stop to this. in the meantime, how do you analyze something that is a junk rated name and is showing a negative yield? what is the opportunities? jonathan: have to talk about the investment-grade names. let's have one example in the auto sector. you saw the daimler issue. big demand for that daimler issue. a company that has had profit warning after profit warning. if you take it as a sector not to pick on daimler, but euro denominated auto issuers right now, up to this week, those spreads were tightening. they were not widening. fundamentals suggest they should be wider. can you make sense of that? robert

overallny and europe more sensitive to stimulus from europe or china? -- the u.s. or china? julian: europe does not want a tariff war between the u.s. and europe, especially if it hits autos further. it will be helpful for germany if the chinese were to put more fiscal stimulus into the economy. obviously would like to get stimulus into consumer products and services, and probably not into the state industries. scarlet: as we await all of that, i want to go back to the ecb because one thing we have been hearing consistently is the talking up of expectations of stimulus. it has clearly been laying the groundwork. beforen be accomplished the september 12 meeting? does the rhetoric need to get convincing, more maybe a variation of mario draghi's whatever it takes speech, or do they have to to save -- do they have to save their firepower until they come out with stimulus? julian: you have one president leaving and one coming, both recognized in different ways as being market friendly. it is whether mario draghi wants to go out with a bang or hand the baton to lagarde and give he

beef exports to europe trade tensions have risen between the e.u. and the u.s. during trump's 1st years in office but both sides have called this deal a step forward trump has made shaking up mobile trade a central pillar of his presidency talks on a transatlantic trade deal and launching a trade war with china on thursday he threatened to impose a new 10 percent tariff on $300000000000.00 of chinese imports and global markets took a dip in response trump defends his combative trade tactics as part of his america 1st policy trump said the deal was the result of a breakthrough in talks with the e.u. . today we're signing a breakthrough agreement that will make it easier to export american beef into the european union we've been under negotiation quite a while. the farmers we didn't think were being treated fair but the european union stepped up and we appreciated it we have great representatives here with us today. we'll have more on that story in the business news with stephen beardsley coming up right after this program let's take a look though at some of the o

in europe. nato continues to aspire. to. make possible. the end of a historic agreement struck between the us and the soviet union presidents mikhail gorbachev and ronald reagan signed the treaty in 1987 a change of course after decades of tension. the root of the tension was this the soviet s s 20 missile a nuclear warhead that could strike western europe at short notice. the u.s. deployed its own mid range missiles in europe leading to protests across the west. the i.n.f. treaty resulted from widespread popular demand for deescalation when the cold war ended. but with the end of the ins the specter of nuclear confrontation looms again . was earning me now here on the set this is them feel hall founder and executive board member of the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons or i can in short right here in germany and some of you might remember that in 2017 i can won the nobel peace prize a very good day thank you for being here we highlighted some of the significance of that landmark treaty but what made it so crucial where you

., europe, and in asia. we clearly have a major shift in monetary policy this year, that is supporting valuations. there is a breaking point, but if growth we can sufficiently, central bankers, the amount of easing may not be enough. ultimately, we think the central bankers globally have the ammunition and ability but not the willingness to do the stimulus required. the last central bank meetings disappointed markets because they signaled further easing not as much as the market has been expecting. matt: joubeen hurren, portfolio manager fixed income, aviva investors global service has a lot more to go through. we are asking the question on mliv, how far can global stocks advance? would the move by president trump yesterday, you can join the debate and reach out to us on the online team -- mliv team to contribute your answer. thus get the bloomberg first word news. phase, angelault merkel describe the german from thecoming back summer holiday more pessimistic about the economy and inclined to do something ab

they are worried about the rest of the world, about europe and the japanification of europe and the europeification of the united states, if that is a word. the market has painted itself into a quarter of expecting between -- into a corner of expecting between four and five cuts. guy: i've heard the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. that encapsulates monetary policy. you highlighted one reason for that. what will it take for them to say politicians, we have done everything, this is it. you've given us the mandate. it is not working anymore. we pushed monetary policy as far as it will go, to the point where it is having no effect and could be doing something bad to the economy. when does that point come? are we there in europe? are we there in japan? when we get to that point? bhanu: to be fair to central bankers, and policy always fights the last crisis. inflation target was set up post 1970's oil shocks were inflation was a problem. we are in an opposite world where globalization has led to a collapse in inflation but we are still targeti

, the invasion of europe. so eisenhower goes to england to be planning the invasion of europe and the cross-channel attack and he writes his first letter to marshall. eisenhower will write 108 letters to marshall throughout the war. in fact, marshall never really bothers to write him back very often and it's not like they corresponded and it's eisenhower letting marshall know what's going on. here's what we're planning and here are some of the issues with the commanders and here's what's going on. marshall is to simply support eisenhower in everything that he did. hey, i just want you to know you've got our support and you're doing a great job. keep it up. by the way, have you thought about doing this? it's more of a guiding hand than a superior talking to a junior officer. so i began to plan the invasion of france and it soon became clear, frustratingly, that the british were right. we are not ready for a cross-channel attack in 1942. so here's the cross-channel attack in 1944. we simply didn't have any of th

vonnie: it obviously impacts europe. it also impacts ireland in a very unique way because, of course, the question of the backstop is front and center here. we've managed to speak with the deputy prime minister a little while ago. let's have a listen to what he had to say. >> now we have a british government who seems to be simply wiping the slate clean on the irish issue in terms of the commitments they've made. we can never sign an agreement with that approach, so we've always said if there is to be a no deal brexit, it will be the choice of a british prime minister and a british parliament to allow that to happen. theie: simon coveney there, irish deputy prime minister. what does this mean? europe has said it is going to back ireland's stance. what does europe decide to do on this question of a backstop, and the fact that it is now maybe not being agreed to in the same way by britain? presumably, this is the other way of interpreting what johnson has done today. you either think he is pushing towards a no deal, or tha

what of course we stand up for europe because europe is no allow trump's false words to stay on the record well i think we have been clear about is my amends are clear restaurant telling really doesn't in telling it like it is. in the time we have left i'd like to talk to you about the values of this alliance into clean native's relations with the middle east and gulf countries you have been conducting dialogues with them for many years nato is out for providing assistance as to participating countries in the areas of security institution building civil military relations this is a very warm nato embrace for several brutal and autocratic countries isn't it i'm talking about egypt. with very questionable human rights records do you ever discuss the clear evidence of human rights abuses in those countries are your dialogues human rights free. well by no means because in fact when we work with all of those countries they have. the opportunity of somewhat to pick and choose what we talk about but we always bring our values to the table whether we're talking about is i mean criticizing the buil

and by december 1944, 70% killing and dying by americans in europe to liberate western europe. they entered the war after pearl harbor. they ended up finishing the job in western europe. if you hadn't been there, we wouldn't have had the protection or democracy or civilization. without that great sacrifice, the contribution toward the end of the war, it would not be a democracy in western europe. it would have been completely different. the absolute would have been communists. >> i agree with everything you said. on the one hand, the importance of the question alliance, we shouldn't forget as you mentioned, the eastern alliance. i think we are beginning to get more sophisticated understanding of the politics of the second world war. the practice that in order to defeat hitler, the u.s. and united kingdom allied themselves with the dictator who was evil and murdered as many people as hitler did. i wrote a book in 1945 that describes the war in the beginning of the cold war. very quickly we went from being allied to the soviet union to being the enemy of the soviet unions. in sub

gave up like europe today. was it going into the august month, the idea we do not know what is happening in the afternoon with the tariffs? andy: it is the tariffs. that weighs heavily on the german stock market, which is heavier -- heavily tied to china and manufacturing. i will go back to the banks because as we see more yields go below zero, that makes it that much harder for the banks to make money. we do not see a way out of this. as we have talked about of the past few weeks, the ecb is going to come and make monetary policy easier. government's do not look like they are going to come in exactlyd any money so how does the european economy get going again in order to get gdp growth coming back in and offsetting some of the tariffs? without that, the banks look weak and the manufacturing sector this week is the bulk of the market in europe. cinko, forrew updates. --nie: johnson has been reduced to a seat. liberal democrats want an election in wales. joining us now for details is our guest of bloomberg news.

now this morning in europe we're seeing stocks move higher as investors await this key speech from the federal reserve chairman at jackson hole we have the ftse 100 up 0.6% the dax up a third of a percentage point and the cac and the italian index also moving higher and in italy we're all watching political developments there. the president has given the political parties until tuesday to try to get together a coalition. we're a little bit in wait and see mode when it comes to italian politics let's look at european yields. at the margin more hawkish than the market expected. this has driven a move higher in yields german bund has risen to the higher level since the beginning of the month quite a move in the yield space. now in terms of fresh comments from the federal reserve, the kansas city fed president and philadelphia fed president told cnbc they don't see the case for additional cuts. >> my sense was it wasn't required in my view. with the low unemployment rate and wages rising and the inflation rate staying close to the fed's target we're in a good place relative to the mandates

deployed its own mid range missiles in europe leading to protests across the west. the i.n.f. treaty resulted from widespread popular demand for deescalation when the cold war ended so did the fear of nuclear armageddon but with the end of the ins the specter of nuclear confrontation looms again. earlier we spoke to did abuse chief political editor. and we asked her if the demise of the i.n.f. treaty means that europe is now on the brink of a new nuclear arms race well nato says no so far mensa today said that that is not going to happen but what certainly has happened through the end of the i.n.f. treaty is that the gloves are off in developing the kind of technology that would still live up potentially deliver nuclear warheads between the range of 502-5500 kilometers and that prospectively could make europe in those scenarios that all sides always keep working out a battlefield even a nuclear battlefield in the future and that's why europe is so alarmed about this . saudi arabia has announced new travel rules that allow women to travel abroad without approval from a male gua

brent: we know she is a household name in europe. she has had a large impact in europe. what about the united states? she is a new face there. >> you're absolutely right. what is surprising to me is how, in europe, the name is well known. in the u.s., just talking to people in battery park in new york city, a lot of people asked me why there were summary people down here recording or filming. i said, explaining what it was. young people did know who she was. they are clued in on what's going on. many people have been following her trip online. you could follow her across the atlantic. people were very expectant because she had to go through immigration here. it hasn't had the coverage in the u.s. media as it has had any other parts of the world. >> we are watching these live pictures. she is on the stage there. she has gone up to speed -- speak. we are waiting for that. her activism does have its critics. what two people say who are negative about her. -- what do people say about her? >> criticism has been based on the fact that she has traveled across the atlantic, but

and europe where there's already this weaker economic data? >> we think it will be a very good template for what we see in europe ahead of discussions with the eu leaders, we'll probably see threats as we've seen from the u.s. with china. then possibly deescalating what we're seeing with u.s./china is currently a slight deescalation, but the likelihood of a more prolonged trade war. what we don't know is when the focus will turn to eu in terms of the trade negotiations with the u.s. we think it's coming >> so uncertainty on timing. given that, what are your rules of thumb now for equities when it comes to deographies, sectors, themes. >> for all three we are selective. it's not an environment where you should be chasing beta you should be looking for alpha to generate returns. by country we prefer switzerland. the premium rating we think is justified. there's companies in switzerland that we think will meet those earnings or better secondly by sector we focus on sectors like healthcare where earnings should be strong even if the cycle begins t

well the problem actually last may was the banks in europe what we've seen here in the last 10 years is that we have accrued 2 big imbalances one is that the 0 interest rate policy has created an army of what i would call zombie companies companies that have gone bankrupt over the course of the last 10 to 12 years but haven't because they've received the subsidy of 0 interest rates and number 2 is that flat negative 0 interest rate curve destroys the revenue base of commercial banking and there are no savings margins there are no transformation margins credit margins have been shrinking over the course of the last 2 years in this is eroding the quality of the earnings of the banks while at the same time the cruel of. bad companies in their books destroys the quality of their credit book and if these 2 things come together and there is a high likelihood that these 2 things will start to interact and come together during the course of 2020 then we will see quite some severe developments in the european banking and this is why i believe also that your europe is the main problem in the w
