and i call comes along with his vision for in a sense for europe as if there can only be one europe and that is the europe he is proposing and anyone else who doesn't agree with that is somehow a critic of europe and wants to undermine europe and i find this rather depressing that we keep going around in this circle that the the dog keeps biting its own tail i thought after the euro crisis we realized that the euro possibly even there for the people not just for the governments i think mr mccollum the slightly living in sort of the twentieth century version of europe. your opening statement suggests that you don't think president will achieve his goal of mobilizing citizens across europe you seem to think that his vision is counterproductive at least in the view of many eastern europeans why is that he's president of friends of his first ask is to mobilize his own citizens to support the support of marshall plays that he's forty two party in may in the european parliament elections so far that the hope has not been does that successful in mobilizing actually his own waters potential

is europe so fragile?” governments. are you serious about that? is europe so fragile? i think the post—world war ii order was put into question and we are going through a loss of turbulence and i think that brexit is 1 of the symptoms —— lot of. other problems europe is going through. and there are quitea europe is going through. and there are quite a pupil at egel parties on the european continent whose political agenda is to leave the european union is make quite a lot of political parties will stop when we are having a conversation about anti—semitism and you choose to alight on politics and you make reference to a particular phenomenon in the united kingdom we know as brexit, surely you are making a very dangerous and unwarranted association between a political movement, which, you know, is driven toa movement, which, you know, is driven to a certain extent by a form of nationalism, and then, at the other end of your spectrum, anti—semitism. and you clearly associate the 2 things or is it not extremely serious in its own way? nationalism does not always b

history of the of europe. it's both of course it's part of europe just look at the geography but it's also a neighbor because it's off shore as they say it's an island it's not part of the continental. in some places england southern coast is only about forty kilometers away from the continent. on clear days you can see the french coast. for centuries taking a boat was the only way to get there. people see the channel as both a link and a boundary. during world war two what came over the channel from the continent was by no means good. during the battle of britain in one nine hundred forty german air raids killed more than forty two thousand people in britain. by nine hundred forty five the european continent had been reduced to rubble. hard to imagine that enemies could ever become friends again. by the wars and many british cities were heavily destroyed above all london yet britain still had a functioning administration and a confident government. to offer it. economically they were ruined but they remain a

[applause] >> as you look at this time that we are in, this is not a donald trump phenomenon bet very much an american phenomenon not necessarily physically weary but emotionally ended to live on - - intellectually wary to carry the burden throughout the cold war and a couple of decades afterwards and actually come to view what some call the new world order as a bad deal for them. given what they regard as the concessions they have made. if you think of times in the past of american history because although what you say is true, taking europe for example had a very complicated relationship over two centuries. and russia in 1917 to save liberal europe and then to turn th

were very uncomfortable in our own national skins that's why we started to think of europe and europe merging into one. mandarin will be proud to say i am and you're a pianist. it was surprising that after the war the former british prime minister winston churchill called for a united europe as a major project for peace and englishmen of all people. yes yes and what an englishman i mean winston churchill who like many of his generation also fought like a european if you did indeed in one thousand nine hundred forty eight he addressed the peoples of europe from the hague in all of. that he encouraged them can essentially what he said in principle was i'll tell you something very exciting and at the center of my idea for europe must be a reconciliation between france and germany and if there's a chance to get this devastated europe which has nearly destroyed itself in two wars back on its feet well that's in britain's very own interest just not another war for god's sake. you are going to be united. by the hot we are all part come you for i'm to be having been the difficult on i look up

our question here on quadriga this week is video scandal election blowed to europe's. and to discuss that question i'm joined here in the studio by matthew carnage snake chief europe correspondent for politico and he says the austrian video makes it harder for the far right to deny who they really are but also with us is george about his own man who was shot as the french born correspondent believes that it's make or break for the union and it's the demise of australia's far right sunday's election outcome will seal the fate. of your sayings. kind of very warm welcome to the currents a lot of political activists and consultants affiliated with you have a nice social democrats who argues that we should not be shocked when racist anti constitutional and criminal right wing populist do been saying things that are racist and anti constitutional and. we just thank you all for being with her statements to the top of the show in money well i would like to begin with you and as you will be well aware here in germany the term that everybody's using to do is to talk about the th

and europe was about pragmatism but ideals. so for me i started to believe in a europe as a kind of solution of most of the continent's problem. and it came true with a succession of... we were all disabused of this hope because two years after the fall of the wall, the war in the balkans began in europe did not appear to be the place where peace would break out... we will come to that, but stephanie, young generation, same as annalisa, that event brought you to europe? i was one of 100 or so americans who got on a plane and moved to prague right after the velvet revolution and the berlin wall came down and spent four years there and went on to moscow and lived there for several years as well. for me, coming access, the fall of the berlin wall is such a strong image but there was so much else going on in the region at the time which overshadows that. it all began in poland around a round table that led to semi—free elections there. hungary played a huge role, when they turned off the barbed wire fence which allowed some east

a very warm welcome indeed to quadriga coming to you from the heart of europe and all focus is on this weekend's elections to the european parliament where it has been widely assumed that populist far right parties might grab as many as a quarter of all the seats in the parliament but then scandal in austria and the collapse of the country's coalition government between conservatives and the populist right this after secretly film video footage emerged apparently showing the leader of the far right freedom party promising state contracts to a woman posing as the niece of a russian oligarch so on the eve of a watershed election for europe our question here on quadriga this week is video scandal election blows to europe's far from iraq and to discuss that question joined here in the studio by matthew carnage snake chief europe correspondent for politico and he says the austrian video makes it harder for the far right to deny who they really are that also with us is george wallace only in many ways shas the french born correspondent believes that it's make or break for the union amidst th

the future of germany and the future of europe go hand in hand a strong united an open europe is is the basis for a better germany we're now going to see in the wake of the european elections one report called the longest and least transparent job selection process for those who are going to hold the top jobs in the european union well i think it's not going to be an edifying so i have it in charge of the european parliament on the lives that their knowledge is that they work on the access to public document of more transparency of the trial are so again you don't have to governments me i think people have shown into selections that they want to know what's going on and they don't want closed doors decisions so anyone who wants to represent them now i think has to deliver on this and be more open in the way we take decisions in the european union the mess one of the messes that was left behind after this last parliament has been money hasn't it the lots of money money lost money and waste is the scandals i guess you're right being funded by things i didn't know very roughly what are

by the law one word one word because my europe's not just europe of equality but also the europe of diversity where everybody has a place because diversity is exactly what his mate europe the best most prosperous freest and safest continent in the world is not it's not that saving your country i'm going out so i'm just going to go back to and say you know and by the very briefly very briefly are you encouraged by anything you heard. i think it's very revealing that mr chen's he refuses to answer the question about what he would do with non christians in his christian europe yes i think that explains their absolutely everything feeling what they were it's very clear to me i've heard this rhetoric in the one hundred twenty s. in the one hundred thirty s. in europe we know where your talk leads you can shake your head all you want but we've seen it before we've been here before and europe is sick of it and we're not but not with men like this we're like ok when they are much all right next question comes from alexandrina my mortgage from the european civic forum what would you like to us please

green whatever europe. or do we want your of it t all d i would say what is now on the table is that pretty site that we want to have a democracy in which we on the european level in which we then decide about the politics of the turn. about this year. president my chrome says that the vision he is laying out actually would create a europe that would be more responsive to citizens needs and their expectations let's take a closer look at some of the proposals he suggesting. micros appeal to the citizens of europe appeared in all the big newspapers in twenty eight countries and twenty two languages. the french president is a dedicated european. he believes that the continent is in danger and this was his wake up call. oscar levant so many believe that europe will be brought down by those who seek to sow division. i believe that it may also be brought down by those who have given up on the idea of a strong and united europe. i want to correct the situation micron proposed in part to create a common european bo

climate but also on europe. for the duration in centuries to know what your lections presidential actions is lucky thank you very much to all of you for being with us and thanks to you out there for joining and see you said. cleek. still. i'm secure in the by a war that's hard and in the end it's a me you're not allowed to stay here anymore we will send you back. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers were alliances of the what's your story. on what numbers of women especially are victims of violence in. part and send us your story we are trying always to understand this new culture. saw you are not a visitor now that yes you want to become a citizen. in four migrants your platform for reliable information. on. what's the connection between bread cloud and the european news. no guild month us d w correspondent and avid baker craft. turn to stone age jokes about recipes for success i am the strategies that make a difference. at baking bread. on d w. mentioned being born in this. world was the can prove th

that is for everybody ok thank you very much you want a united europe you want to strong europe but voter turnout has gone down in every single european parliament elections since they began it's going to be different this time. we don't know i think first of all we see in the polls that support for europe is actually going up and the fact that people are critical is not a bedsit it's a good thing it be it means that people are taking ownership of europe to do that downhill jerry yes we'll see whether that trend will continue and of course the turnout has to go up if we have the right to vote we should use it because that's how we we keep the mock. a life. this is an organization the european parliament has failed time and again to connect to ordinary people bricks it is proof of that and you know i don't think bricks it is proof of that we don't know that yet malice isn't what breaks it really means is still out because i think you know the reasons why people voted for breaks that are maybe very much connected to the reasons why american people voted for trump and incidentally to t

they gave us a task to defend the europe of nations and to protect christian culture in europe. do you think we. can right wing parties sabotage the e.u. . that is the next big question currently you know you were talking about this just minutes ago coming right wing parties subbuteo come they do you rail the e.u. or the parliamentary process i would say now they can talk makes you so optimistic the reason is that we've seen civil society and parties come across to form to to to correlate against these right wing populist movement and i believe that we've seen the danger of these populist movement and that the path the democratic parties will not sit down and wait for them to set the agenda but on the other hand come up with the ordinary. if so that's why i'm really hopeful now as the attention is quite high on the european parliament on brussels it's as such that the parties will not just go back to business as usual but on the other hand come up with new solutions when we talk about we already mentioned climate change for example there's a huge mandate for the european union f

honestly it's very hard to tell the intrapreneur from any african continent that europe is bad like europe has its pros and cons as every other continent but still these entrepreneurs they want to grow they want to access bigger markers they want also to have a better social life and to. international experience. talking about international experience certainly has plenty of it he's only 33 years old but his c.v. is longer than many twice his age as a child he traveled a lot with his parents and that left its mark on him to begin with he became a jet pilot for the american army. then he moved to south korea to work in space research. he later headed up large construction projects in japan indonesia qatar and canada before managing business in the middle east for a german company. it's another of you know if you want something badly you. can just have to educate yourself right now like knowledge is everybody has access to the internet african countries so you have to have to educate yourself and you have to go after or treating is the best kind of spirit certainly fits well with portugal a

yet hoover, for all his misgivings about europe never ceased being a humanitarian. when world war ii broke out in 1939, he organized private relief agencies and the united states to raise money and funnel assistance to the distressed civilian populations of war ravaged finland and poland. in 1940 and 41, as to pour in europe expanded, he attempted to replicate his world war one success and belgium by creating a new relief commission, this time for the imperiled civilians of five small european democracies overrun by nazi germany. fearing that such a humanitarian intervention behind enemy lines would benefit the knocks the occupiers, winston churchill and franklin roosevelt had his efforts, and you'll hear about this later. after world war ii ended hoover was a catalyst for the creation of the united nations children fund. one of its associates, maurice pate became unisex first executive director and was that for about 20 years. he later declared that it was hoover who originally had the idea of setting up the fund in the framework of the united nations. thanks to ho

europe. you are 69 meps out of 750. i am not going to say it is an easy one but we felt this responsibility given by the voters so it is clear that the people who voted for the greens they demand climate action and we also clearly campaigned on social europe and democracy so it is clear that we feel that responsibility to really put in change. if the two big governing blogs christian social democrats, we are going to do business as usual and the greens will fill up to make the majority than they are talking to the wrong party. we will demand a change and, of course, we will be ready to compromise. we know it will not be 100% agreement programme but we will not accept business as usual where we sign up to the same old same old. it interested me that your party did very well in north—western europe but, to talk about a green wave crashing across the continent is clearly wrong because there are many, clearly wrong because there are any clearly wrong because there are many, many large parts of

five, six years ago, the debate in europe was greece will live to europe. has greece left europe? no. they have left the financial support programme that taxpayers from germany and from italy at page very generously with all the credit and the admiration that the people of greece should get because they did amazing sacrifices and amazing effort. they are back on their feet. wrong what you are saying. it is factually wrong. they are back on their feet. treason has picked up. it is a success story for the european union. i understand what you say, but i don't think they are the same thing you are saying. also, i invite you to have a chat with many people of my age, i am 21, to have a chat with many people of my age, iam 21, i know to have a chat with many people of my age, i am 21, i know exactly how it feels not to find a job. and having to go somewhere else because thatis having to go somewhere else because that is what our generation is doing because simply, the economy is not working very well and there are hundreds of people going to northern europe. i would like to get more re

pass, europe sent -- americas estrangement from europe was happening. what he had witnessed in 1919 was something far more profound than the intrigues of diplomacy or the foibles of european statesmen. it was in his words, the collision of civilizations that had crawled 300 years apart. looking at the chasm he had perceived between the old world and the new, he became an exponent of what we call now american exceptionalism. hoover, for all of his misgivings about europe never ceased being a humanitarian when suffering in the old world beckoned. when world war ii broke out in 1939, it organize private relief agencies in the u.s. to raise money and final assistance to the distressed civilian populations of war-ravaged finland and poland. in 1940 and 41, as the war in europe expanded, he intended to replicate his world war i success by creating a new relief commission. by the imperiled civilians of five small european democracies overrun by nazi germany. fearing that such a net -- a humanitarian intervention would benefit the nazi occupiers, winston church

video scandal election blow to europe's fall. and to discuss that question joined here in the studio by matthew con niche naik chief europe correspondent for politico. and he says the austrian video makes it harder for the far right to deny. who very rarely all? but also with us is storage of arizona in many ways show us the french foreign correspondent believes that it's make or break for the union. and it's the demise of all stress phone alright sunday's election outcome will seal the fate. she say. and a very warm welcome to to karen taylor a political activist and consultant affiliated with japanese social democrats. who argues that we should not be shocked when racist anti constitutional? and criminal right wing populist do and say things that are racist. and anti constitutional and interest. and your free today the statements of top of the show in money well i'd like to begin with you. and as you will be well aware here in germany the term with everybody's using to do so to talk about the the importance of this electction t

europe. raising inequalities fear of the future and a growing number of people who feel left behind these are undermining democracy and trust in a common future and progressive populist forces are surfing on these feelings with quite success i would say they so this failure of democracy to deliver access to rights for all with less democracy because they build collective identities based on exclusion. and they try to shrink and to. shut up the space for dissent for democratic checks and balances for civil society for media for akademi and so on and so forth come to a question but my question is addressed to the progressive count. what kind of policies do we need to get out of this deadlock because it's not enough to say that we are pro europeans alongside what you said in the beginning what kind of policies we need to bring equality and solidarity and to make this european project great for all ok draw a line of. receive all our societies and even between states the strong get stronger and th

just scaife and that is how i like to look at the bigger picture for europe and what europe's have become in the future and that concerns very much the stability of the european borders she was talking about how the union security through the turkish defense if in syria has. threatened the security issues talked about the accession talks fall begun yet north donya and how they are going to be addressed at the summit in brussels but she also talked very much about the geopolitical straight kind of challenges that germany has or the european union has and how germany wants to help to secure europe's role to tackle them through the budget through making sure that the money goes where it can do good but also through a core of a strong europe ok strong euro very important for all a macro much 1000000 thanks very much for being with us masses for us in brussels as well gary thanks for that will be back to brussels for much more throughout the day as we learn more hopefully from the summit there about those fears that thanks a lot well as we've been reporting about syria u.s. vice president mike

this is about reminding china the of the importance in europe and also lose sight of europe but also showing that europe can work as a unit as a unified whole it's just briefly what about losing sight of hong kong because that's something that europeans agender the moment when the call goes to beijing tomorrow and there he will have to balance the need to talk about what he called a taboo subject of hong kong with the need to present this united front and to push for trade so it's a balancing act for him a tricky one if it can and thank you very much well china's so peace investment in its bells and road initiative is the port of ingrates in europe and foothold for chinese influence in the west in the eyes of washington and it's a you allies the greeks caught in the middle the greek port of parathas is china's gateway to europe it's the 1st deep sea port that container ships from asia reach after passing through the suez canal china wants to make it the final destination on its new maritime silk road its spending billions to expand the port for greece in its economic desperation 7 pe

is this is about europe do you pull a logic on a me out of europe a major political player out of europe europe's weaker so this is why if we can find a way and there's a letter recently from german politicians that was actually very helpful very sensible letter. signed by you know the leaders of some of the main parties in germany this is this is what we need to do we need to realise both of us europeans british our future should be together. and that was the former prime minister of britain tony blair speaking earlier to detail these been physical and in davos so the business world is watching what's happening at davos let's go to our correspondent yes korda in new york where markets are reacting in part to news from that meeting and talking of course about the i.m.f. lowering its growth projection and warning of a slowdown how are markets reacting to this news from the i.m.f. well we certainly is soul wall street trading lower on huge because of the martin luther king day holiday on monday wall street to catch up with the reason news flow and that the i.m.f. is lowering the projection

think europe and do you think europe account and it sounded. not today if the u.s. were to pull out or call back 6 say actually from its commitments to nato europe would be woefully short of all the key capabilities needed for small scale interventions much less for the defense of europe against a potentially large scale threat from the russian federation so we need to stay together and rebalance the alliance that's where trump has legitimate grievance with the other allies and mccraw should work on strengthening the european pillar of nato rather than taking europe in a totally separate direction let me bring pavel in and ask this question some of the headaches which russia has had with nato expansion is and would any of that be dealt with if we saw a different sort of common european defense arrangement would that deal with the placement of certain u.s. missile systems that say in poland and so on and so forth or ultimately would we see the same sorts of military postures just with a different. oh those are missiles that have been deployed th

europe and the united states with china. let me say that for our european friends, there's nothing wrong with our relationship. just as president macron said recently, we need to do this together and he was particularly talking to his european brethren. we need to get together in europe and with the united states when it comes to our relationship with china. i couldn't agree more with him in that regard. as far as china is concerned, i can tell you that as i travel around the united states, i look here and see a lot of people who were very focused on these kinds of issues, who educate themselves on these kind of issues. many, if not most people in the united states have no idea of the challenge that we are facing in many respects from china. we had the opportunity to travel in china in 1983. i walked around in china. i thought to myself, you know, this isn't going anywhere. they really had nothing there. didn't look like they were moving in any kind of a direction. it was communism at its finest. and i thought to myself, you

across europe. but take. people off neo liberal 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 we just. economic and financial crisis yes we. are going much more coming back on the show at least six in the wood but we came out the without a measure of these two options in any case one issue when i am saying that the many of them only say no and they yes. the magic example. they can buy hold the. example. they say no for three 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 our 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 ultimately in charge of. ana

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 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 raney. 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 handling of the discontent was it in keeping with the. discontent of the. discontent as i missed blows in the media 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 up 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

we need europe we need europe in this interdependent then globalized world we need the dimension of europe where we can do which you can intervene to regulate through millicent's at the global level if you say that the euro. is the problem it's it's not because we have too much of it is because we have europe european financial union without a fiscal union let's talk about fiscal justice in europe and then if you don't have if you just have a financial union a monetary union without a fiscal union without a political union we didn't present last or clearly the europe era. had we as i think one thing that i mean the gentleman wants to destroy you're of want destroyed the eurozone was to get out of the european union me it's very clear i will i don't need to answer to him because of the position of a key i would like to answer to the young young people who ask questions and it is good that we need a europe which multiplies support unities and what was a way for as an example there is a big success story in europe which is there as means. of the report about the routes most because we

that stormy times for europe. and the volunteers are trying to get young people to vote in the upcoming european election. all of europeans part of the e.u. like a family media hype us fund that i love my dad's french and my mom's german so europe is really important to me as the head don't know what other games should be a. disadvantage as part of an e.u. column and it had to get out the followers it's cold this time on boats. volunteers can sign up on a website. with one focus on begin on we want to get out into the streets and explain to people why this election matters it's. molten 250000 volunteers straw out europe have already registered the parliament provides information brochures and other materials but unfortunately no one bellows. to do something. like this are you going to vote no for europe why not don't know how come on at least think about it you know it's a please please vote when you vote why no it's pointless why it's no use come on. the volunteers don't discuss issues they just want people to vo
