or do we want our european serenity the european parliament. in order like you to a few hours here to an out in your presence you mean has decided together with the commission and the member states to the side a rules of procedure and this is the kind of life that we want to follow my goodness and i am deeply convinced that we have a dish and there's. several ran a t two ability in order to accompany the i thrust to protect our citizens and to avoid the. unfairness rules area where some pay no taxes should be sent the need to protect ourselves against the threats on a daily basis for what we. make decisions from our and they are decisions they are essential aspects who is going to decide that the. external of all or us or ourselves who are we going to let take those decisions we know that energy and climate decisions take time but a sustainable solution can only be built if we can. ourselves on the european level field if we know where. on. carbon if we pose attacks outside of the border of the worst decisions if we have an ambition i . have. m

this is something we have to wait to see, but there are ways for europeans. you remember in the mid—1990s, when the us imposed sanctions with a territorial impact on iran and the europeans, they decided to pass blocking regulations in order to support european business with iran and to resist the us extraterritorial behaviours. this is one issue, whether the european union would revive relations or not, this is one issue. second, whether iran and the eu would be able to manage the financial system. they do business in euros, not in dollars, because whenever the business is in dollars, it comes to new york for a u—turn and we would have a problem with the us. but if we can have business in europe, then we would face much less capacity for the us to go for punishments. all right, so your view is... the europeans, whether they would be able to do it or not, i really do not know. your view is that it is going to be very difficult. explain to me one thing. if it is going to be very difficult — and the europeans have an important decision now to make about ho

russia is very much a board for the european union -- important for the european union. if you look at the recent re are alreadyy are already sanctions. you can have already the scenario that is playing out right now with respect to russia which is more important to the european union. if you have european companies and washington withdrawing from the russian market, this would be way worse, i think, than the follow-up we are witnessing now. thenot really see given escalation of the european union in the past, but supporting the u.s.t -- the uris jurisdiction. how this might be solved in a constructive manner. i wanted to find out the spillover effect with respect to russia. >> anyone has any comments on that? >> yeah, it is true. i think the people who are involved in the russian market are learning a lesson that people -- the europeans involved in the russian market are learning, which is that risk is very big and scary. it could be very costly. it may cause you to wind down certain relationships. the u.s. sanctions policy makers are proving themselves more and more in

the european union ambassador to the u.s. it talked about the trump administration decision to withdraw from the nuclear agreement. this event in washington dc also includes a discussion about iran. this is an hour and a half. i'm really delighted that we are bringing together all of our work at the atlantic council under the iran source. i suggest all of you look at the source. and you can also tweet today's event. were not quite sure what. we are going to look at sanctions and aspects in particular what it's going to mean for sanctions. the last minute addition to our experts in that as the ambassador david o'sullivan is going to make some keynote remarks. with our penile penal true after experts. let me just briefs fully introduce them. she is a veteran of the treasury department. we also have a new speaker here. they followed the negotiations that led to the jcp '08 in great detail another veteran of state department where he worked on developing the sanctions that are now going to be returning. he promises to have a very

and what lies more closely than the open european market? so we expect a deflection of trade from countries such as turkey, or iran, coming toward the european union. reporter: the economic minister is disappointed as well in germany. >> todayay's decision by thu.u.. governrnnt is wrong. it is harmful for europe, as well as the united states. reporter: the eu is already preparing retaliatory measures. >> this is a bad day for the world. the european union cannot react to that without any kikind of reaction, so we will immediately inintroduce a settlement dispute on the wto. reporter: the year considering -- and the european union is considering duties on motorcycles, bourbon, cranberries and origin -- or just. mexico and canada are also contemplating countermeasures. brent: i am joined tonight by our correspondent clare richardson and georg mathis. clare, how has the commerce secretary from the u.s. defended the american decision to slap allies and its biggest trading partners with these tariffs? clare: wilbur ross tried to turn this on its

when the europeans in the u.s. together had the sanctions in place, now these sanctions are also directed when i are imposed in 18- days against -- in 180 days against european companies doing business is. these are secondary effects of the sanctions. this is -- frederico marguerite he has vowed she will protect these interests and there are some ways you can build workarounds to the sanctions and maybe protect these interests. but of course this will harm iranian interests as well because many german companies, banks, will not be reluctant to go into iran and do business there. so this is a real conflict of interest here. but still, paris, london and berlin have declared tonight they will stick to the deal and continue to work with iran is nobody knows what donald trump is up to, how he will have the leverage to force iran to go back to the negotiation table and to prevent them better from now not to build nuclear weapons. brent: bernd reigert and clare richardson, thank you. israel's prime minister benjamin netan

friday the european commission launched a process same to preventing e.u. firms from being hit by u.s. sanctions under those plans european companies would be able to get compensation and loans if they were affected. later on monday the president plans to meet the leaders of the left leaning five star movement and the right wing northern league party to discuss the formation of a new coalition government meanwhile the poll finds most italians backed the largely anti e.u. program agreed on by the parties. must do something about immigration because it's a mess and like the color plan of course who want lower taxes especially for businesses so the league got too harsh on immigration we need to solve this problem but with a more moderate approach but i'm worried about five star and the league are going to make good on these promises it will be difficult because the powers the strong the. new prime minister may also be put forward on monday the coalition is expected to nominate a law professor just said be content is a relative unknown in political and public l

the european commission wants major economies to contribute more to its budget and it says it's ready to cut funding to countries who violate democratic freedoms also coming up after a day of strike action and mass protests are signs of a breakthrough in armenia's political crisis the ruling party says it will back this man nicole the former prime minister but under certain conditions. i burnt off it's good to have you with us tonight you're preparing to write a check to pay for a life after breakfast today the european commission unveiled an ambitious new budget to follow on from britain's withdrawal from the e.u. now spanning from the years twenty twenty one to twenty twenty seven it's worth close to one point three trillion euros an increase that has ruffled the feathers of member states he will be asked to contribute more to the european kitty. the e.u. has a pretty big budget hole to fill britain's departure from the bloc will leverage about twelve billion euros less well off a year the man responsible for drafting up a spending plan says member countries are going to have to cou

now the european commission has triggered legislation aimed at protecting european companies from u.s. sanctions on iran on wednesday the blocks leaders decided to activate what is called the blocking statute its main purpose is to forbid e.u. companies from complying with the extraterritorial implications of u.s. sanctions also the european commission is allowing the european investment bank to support you investment in iran and encouraging member states to explore the possibility of one off bank transfers to the central bank of iran the european union is committed to mitigating the impact of u.s. sanctions on european businesses and taking steps to maintain the growth of trade and economic relations between the e.u. and iran that began when sanctions were lifted. or the blocking statute was created more than two decades ago but never has been applied for but has never been applied before the decision was taken after several major companies announce that because thing ties with iran amid the threat of punishment from washington. no arguing with it america and europe had something spe

expense of other partners in the european monetary union it has an european approach in which way in what way because we're talking about european reforms and overhauling the euro zone but the germans are against that right well or at least the majority of german economists would say very much in favor of getting back to everyone swear to the strict rules of the maastricht treaty and these rules have not been obeyed in the last ten years they were strict they were strict rules but they were never in full they were not really in force and the new italian government all seems to knowledge that they do not own the careful that but it's absolutely important that we come to a monetary consensus if you want to make this monetary union exists x. why can't we have both strict rules and more integration well integration should not be. a target in itself we have to ask what shall the integrate and what shall be left to competition he wants we must never forget that the strength of europe is its diversity this has brought this continent to the top of all other countries and this is the source o

threatening some type of sanctions against its european allies over iran. well some european diplomats in brussels say this is the only way you can read it because these sanctions imposed unilaterally without the european union involved in this is different to the situation we had before that you're around you when the europeans and the us together at these sanctions and plays and now these sanctions also directed when they are imposed in one hundred eighty days against european companies doing business these are the so-called secondary effects of these sanctions and this is a real threat to the economic interests of these companies and as i said today we can mobile really has vowed that she will protect this interest and there are some some ways you can circumvent that too you can build some work arounds to these sanctions and maybe protect the interests but of course that this will harm your anian interests as well because many german companies and banks for example would not be reluctant to go into iran and do business there and so this is a real conflic

could a breakthrough be around the corner after president all chant extended a tariff exemption on european metals washington says talks with brussels could reduce trade tensions. as the old saying goes plenty more fish in the sea except when there's not the e.u. says it's time for a strict new quirks. i'm helena humphrey in berlin good to have you with us and germany is losing patience with washington's trade brinkmanship the german economy minister saying raising tariffs is the wrong way of going about things that would hurt jobs in germany europe and the u.s. says delaying the decision as trump did just hours before the midnight deadline is also a big problem especially as businesses have no way of planning for the future. study of relief for the european steel industry at least for now the next four weeks the e.u. can continue to sell steel and aluminum to the u.s. without additional tariffs. back in march donald trump signed off on plans to impose tariffs of twenty five percent on steel imports and ten percent on r.u. many m two weeks later he granted the e.u. and several countries a t

groby to go dark it too but they have no serious commitment towards european a further european policy should decide by don't show people this will come but everybody have to be you know . respected the treaties before that happens and before there is actual to speak here and what we have right now is one speed europe. and there are large here a skeptic movement and you know it's there those are people who have exactly the opposing views of the orse and they actually go to the parties you know and i think a lot of european countries see the rise of those parties their reject some or all things right now this people are being ignored you know they're like whatever if you don't want to be european you don't have to but they're actually european do you think this continued ignoring of this part of the electorate could blow up now they're not been in or be in the selection and the whole europe has been the one who contest. the majority of the. public opinion look what happened in print mrs. depend who lost the election due to the european engagement of mr mccrone the debate was when the di

operative word as the european commission we have the duty to protect european companies so we know me to act and this is why we're launching the process of activating the blocking statute from one thousand nine hundred six. what you're a business doing is using a statute initially developed to circumvent washington's trade embargo on cuba the law basically protects european states from laws or sanctions implemented outside of europe if you can see a political resolution prompts bully boy tactics haven't gone down well in europe the block is finally showing its teeth. what do we want to be able to be blinded to what americans tell new or do we want us europeans to say economic interests move want to have economic relations with russia what can you say every relationship has its bumps its just that some bumps and in divorce. ok let's discuss this a bit further to now with the best the secretary of the european movement cane joins us in the event we welcome kate we're hearing there from that package not sure how much you heard of it but the e.u. says it will protect european companies fr

will continue to stick to it the european union will remain committed to the continued and effective implementation of the nuclear deal we fully trust the work the competence and the autonomy of the international atomic energy agency that has published reports certifying that iran has fully complied with its commitments the lifting of nuclear related sanctions is an essential part of the agreement. the european union has repeatedly stressed that the lifting of nuclear related sanctions has a positive impact not only on trade and economic relations with iran but also mainly crucial benefits for the iranian people. a diplomatic editor james bays is live for us from u.n. headquarters in new york we know that president trump had a long score on the iran nuclear deal perhaps this decision will come as no great surprise but nonetheless what has been the reaction there. well i think diplomats from the other signatories to this deal were expecting this but they're still pained by a short time ago al-jazeera spoke to the deputy russian ambassador here at the united nations who said it was dis

european countries have reasserted their commitment to the iran nuclear deal after u.s. president donald trump and now it's his decision to quit the pact and reimpose u.s. sanctions france and germany have stressed that they remain committed to the pact with berlin criticizing the u.s. for not offering an alternative for monitoring iran's nuclear compliance european signatories are to meet with iranian representatives next week to discuss the way forward iran's supreme leader has accused of lying with other officials suggesting that tehran is no longer bound by the terms of the agreement. outrage in tehran in parliament iranian politicians wasted no time condemning the u.s. for violating a deal signed only three years ago. i. on the streets iranians read the news that their economy is once again to face u.s. sanctions. this means more pressure will be exerted on the people of iran and the country will go back to the days of resorting to smuggling goods into the country and bypassing sanctions. will be as involved. as an iranian citizen i expect our president to withdraw

ministers in brussels on tuesday european commission president has suggested using the european investment bank as a way around u.s. sanctions legally european business is not bound by u.s. foreign policy but ignoring sanctions could affect their business interests in the u.s. the e.u. is resistance to the new us sanctions on iran could hit european companies where it hurts and that's because most large european enterprises have some sort of business with the united states and are likely to be punished if they continue to cooperate with the run but european policy makers say they won't permit washington to dictate e.u. trade policy. that it was yes. i think there is a true realisation a realisation among all european states. that we cannot keep going in the direction that we are headed in today. she's a direction where we submit we submit to american decisions. we want to submit or do we prefer to become independent in sovereign swung. the question is how to go about protecting european interests you may have suggested instigating so-called blocking regulations that use most powerful but u

if this is the case does that then string to the position of the europeans. i would wait a little while because i mean the the deal is contested very cool hardly in iran itself between hardliners and those who wants to reach out to the international community and so far the second group has had the majority of the superiority but i would be surprised if in the next days or weeks the hardliners will point to the united states and to the to be united states and say publicly we told you so we can't rely on the united states in the end it's not a credible like that anymore and the only the only way we can go forward to secure a survival as a political regime is to increase in richmond of uranium and to because you don't know the path but again we are getting reaction now from israel i think we have a statement from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu let's take a listen to that. fully supports president rove's bold decision today to reject the disastrous nuclear deal with a terrorist regime in tehran israel is opposed the nuclear deal from the start because

we are working in defense of european citizens. we want to protect european citizens. we want to implement our new rules about a protection. we want to the respect by the different companies of the rules of european union. this is our engagement. we will work hard and defense of our citizens. first of all, for european election 2019. guy: ok. one final quick question. something about closer to home for you. do you worry that the new italian governments could pose a risk to the rosen project? do you worry that this could be an existential threat to the eurozone project? what do you see happening in italy? as the president of as members of my party, i disagree with this them.ent between it is not good for italy, it is not good for europe. thank you very much, indeed for your time this morning. interesting conversation. president of the european parliament. let's get back to the market. >> let's start with britvic. it is up 6% at the moment. on the downside, i am looking at euronet. sells been downgraded to and dropped the most since november of 2017 in this session. what

european union cannot. react to that we've called the new kind of reaction so really you need to introduce a settlement dispute. on that of the on the w t o. the you is considering in part judy's on us products such as much as cycles bourbon cranberries and oranges mexico and canada are also contemplating countermeasures. on george and i by our washington correspondent claire richardson and from brussels our correspondent. to both of you good evening clearly we start with you how has the commerce secretary from the u.s. defended the american decision to slap its allies and its biggest trading partners with these terror. the u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross really tried to turn this on its head saying that european negotiators failed to convince washington not to extend i exempt into these tariffs either another temporary one or a more permanent solution now this comes after months of anxiety about what the united states was going to do here we saw personal lobbying efforts by french president and manual

more or less the americans at the europeans shit the same use. except it that americans have to do to ship. the americans. enough to provide security i think that's finished that's finished and be need to leave the fine. ship and the only thing i would like to see is i know it's be in ulip we should not make the mistake to believe that the presidency of donald trump is just. a short short living mistake. i'm afraid that trump is scruples and being america much more than obama presented america should be a well this policy will probably continue with the america i mean the america first policy so the french finance minister is calling dog european leaders to defend europe's economic sovereignty from the united states now at the same time he and his german colleagues are courting their u.s. counterparts the new chain trying to get exceptions for their a company's from their looming sanctions so what kind of sour and it is this if europe is repeatedly finding itself in betting positions towards the united states . you know it's it's the old the old

european union cannot. react to that we've told you kind of reaction so really you need to introduce such a dispute. on the on the. level and through the knowledge and covering all those. measures do you consider is in part due to use on u.s. products such as motorcycles whiskey cranberries and oranges mexico is also contemplating countermeasures. are everybody's trying to digest what this all means let's bring washington correspondent claire richardson and correspondent just to help us make sense of all this claire want to start also with you if i may how is the commerce secretary the senate the american decision to slap its allies and biggest trading partners with these tariffs. well when the trump administration first announced these tariffs back in march they said that the tariffs were essential for national security reasons that having strong u.s. domestic production of steel and aluminum was important for national defense now of course key allies see them as unfair trade practices and trump really has

mark zuckerberg faces off with the european parliament. the european lawmakers for the recent data scandal at the social media giant he says the company was too slow to react after user data was manipulated and he was given a warning that europe considers facebook to be among.

european union. under the treaties of european union you must have a border that judges goods moving across to eu to non-e.u. border. you have to have a way to put on tariffs. you have to have a way to control the movement of persons and services. more importantly for the uk, all of the regulatory issues that go along with the movement of a good. so the question becomes how do you put a border between ireland and northern ireland without completely upsetting the peace accords that came about after the result of the end of, as they call it the troubles. this is really the heart and soul of the problem. it is 310 miles of border if you look at all the craggs and crannies between northern ireland and ireland with 400 crossing points. nobody has been able to figure out how to get around that. what is on the table right now, the european put forward a withdrawal proposal, their tax or their way to fix it which effectively creates a border along the irish sea. treat northern ireland and ireland as one area

the former vice president of the european commission. because not except that the americans dictate the terms of the business the american policy of taking hostage other nations and companies to be it has to be partnership to do this for years. but the ship between the united states and do you opinion is entering a new new age it's it's not like it was in the past but. more or less the americans at the europeans share the same values. the europeans accepted that americans have to do the ship and the americans. nuff to provide security i think that's finished. it is r t international italy's post-election deadlock into its eleventh week now could be about to be broken a poll has found that sixty percent of italians support the radical program proposed by the country's likely next coalition government the two main parties involved the left leaning five star movement on the right wing likud party put the joint platform to their members over the weekend. you must do something about immigration because it's a mess and like the collison plan o

in the european market would you sing would have they need the european money they need it badly we are the new thing it's really europe. look do you think it's realistic for the u.s. to do as they do to us he i mean they may have price were they doing their legs or you think it's realistic not to react and it's also not very realistic because they haven't reacted for four years if we don't react if we don't react we're going to lose the battle for the hearts and minds of our voters tell me why people would believe in europe if we can see so much if any french company or european company asked to go to washington wizards lawyers a little hot and so on and go please can they do business can you tell me if i can do business here or there this is not acceptable on the point of view i am a goalies. i believe in the national sovereignty i believe that europe makes me stronger that's why i mean europe but if europe all going to sort of collective collapse because this is what's happening nobody is making decisions this moment we are weak on many fronts and women. by the way. also for chinese

leaders are clearly scrambling to shelter european firms from the contagion. the blocking statute is aimed at protecting small and medium sized companies operating in the country it would also provide compensation for sanctions related losses although german politicians have said that can't be applied across the board the picture is much more complex for a bigger european corporations with close financial and corporate ties to the u.s. the prospect of severe penalties over sanctions violations as well as the loss of financing from u.s. banks and other potential consequences already has some european businesses looking to exit the garonne the world's biggest container ship or a mall or maersk has said it will wind down its iran operations germany's biggest insurer it's preparing to wrap up their two siemens has said there will be no new deals with iran and french oil and gas company to tal says it will pull out of a multi-billion gas project if it can't get an exemption to tells departure would be especially painful for iran the iranian government had hoped the
