and the u. s. it could be a sign of biting conceding that the pipeline was already a done deal. i think you got to look at in context as a recent meetings and discussions between biden and europeans, particularly jeremy, you know, the germans, the europeans, considered us position on the global tax and not taxing us tech companies. i think this is probably a quid pro quo to some extent of biden can feeding what as everyone knows, it's already a done deal and allowing the germans to continue and get the cheaper gas. you got to understand that this whole sanctions over a gas began nordstrom to begin under trump, when the us had a lot of natural gas and prices were falling. and you know, the industry, oil industry, which trump was running interference for their solution, was to make the europeans force them to buy us gas. that would cause prices arise in the us as well as more volume sales in europe. but the problem was, the gas was just too much more expensive and the pin just waited is out. and t

and melinda may ask, you have people here in germany also in the u. s. and they separate the fact that soon she, she will not be the chancellor anymore. this rock of stability that in this was talking about will be gone. well, of course it's not up to them to accept it, but certainly they are aware of it. i've just come back from the u. s. today in fact. and i was asked by a number of people. so it's really true, she's going and this is the end of an era. and it has talked about stability as one of the things they see in medical. another thing is principal leadership, and that was actually cited by johns hopkins university today when they award made this award to her. it was also cited by president george w bush and his interview with d w, where he talked about that sense of principle that she had that she stays with her values. and of course, that means for many americans who went through the trump presidency, she's the opposite. she's the anti trump, she somebody with strong values. she of course, is also very pragmatic in the way that she governs. but

the headlights here on our teeth, the u. s. and germany strike a deal on the north stream to gas pipeline project. but vow action against russia over the election threat to security posed by the energy project in moscow. and the pipeline is purely commercial. the for the worst of flooding in china in a 1000 years caused death wiped out the transport, infrastructure, breach dimes, in bob, a huge block of 1000000. we understand the situation is going to get was nobody suggestions.

the topic of finalizing the nord stream to agreement between the u. s. and germany is expected to come up with president biden and chancellor merkle hold talks in washington this week. and you can export to the european union in may, rose to their highest level since october of 2019 exports to the block had fallen at the start of 2021 after breakfast officially took hold. as britain left, the e u single market and customs union, the british office for national statistics said good exit boards to the you, excluding precious metals of course, wrote the $19400000000.00 in may nearly twice what it was in january, import into the u. k, from the 27 nation block. we're also up after plunging to start the here as the global pandemic effect and traffic in the english channel. so what did these numbers mean for the future of trade for an independent britain? well, the guys, let's bring in hilary board, which is a board member with the british american business association and president of st. marc consulting lc. thank you so much for joining us as always, hillary.

the headlights are on the u. s. and germany strike a deal on the north stream to pipeline. but val action on russia, citing the alleged threat to security opposed, divided energy pipeline project. the julian was flooding in china in a 1000 years. it's caused depth and wiped out transport infrastructure brief jobs on the market to blossom and menu. and as we understand the.

and this is why the u. s. and germany are supporting the global initiative. the rate act accelerate, turn into a problem used to come in combat in the g r, 20 global nations, but also the, particularly the g 7 nations have a t responsibility. and so the commitments of the cornwell g 7 summit of particular importance of the aim is to have over 2000000000 vaccinations available by 2020. what's remarkable above and beyond this agreement to combat climate change to the international support for sustainable glo infrastructure town. ladies gentlemen, i've done that, economists torture as american americans, germans and european allies in nato. we are partners and international trade. we share common values and interests kind of, you know, 2 regions in the world that have such common interests and most values as europe and the usa. and because this is the case, was that i understand the great honor that use bestowed on me today also being an expression of the close ties of our 2 countries and for that. and i am truly grateful. thank you. the now for our internationa

precisely that germany and the u. s. are definitely trying to press the reset button in terms of transatlantic relations because of course, with the exception of those 4 years under president trump, germany always played an essential role for the u. s. is one of the main go to countries in europe simply because it is the strongest economy in the european union. and the biden administration wants to strengthen those ties again. now that, that former strongest ally in europe the united kingdom is no longer a member of the european union. there are disagreements just while it is not stream to this gas pipeline from russia, directly to germany. we see compromise there. i'll not stream to pipeline is probably the biggest disagreement between the 2 i would say, and president biden will probably reiterate the u. s. his criticism when he meets the gym chancellor. today, the u. s. is of course, worried that russia might use the gas pipeline to put political pressure on ukraine, and of course, the u. s. also wants to sell their ow

but germany and the u. s. do not agree on how to deal with either russia or china. the plan gigantic north stream to pipeline will bring russian natural gas into europe. washington says the project makes the continent more dependent on russia and threatened the security of it's small and neighbors, like ukraine. merkel has long championed the project but played down the differences that looked like we talked about russia and ukraine and in this context also about nord stream to we've come to different assessments as to what this project can tail. but let me say clearly, our idea is and remains that ukraine remains a transit country for natural gas. ukraine, like any other country, has a right to territorial sovereignty. the chancellor farewell tour of washington began with a breakfast with vice president carmella harris. and later the johns hopkins university bestowed an honorary degree on the former physicist the other medical's time. as german chancellor may be drawing to a close, but she has left a lasting impression on the us precedent. if they meet on a persona

and the e. u. the u. s. germany deal me in supplies will be able to bypass ukraine. but it is not entirely out of pocket que gets $175000000.00 for infrastructure development . and the current transit deal must stay in place. and that means that can still collect fees. moscow has also been warned that there will be punishment if it uses the new pipeline for political game. while the u. s. pledges to no longer stand in the way, some american officials are still upset. concerns were voiced once again at a recent senate hearing in washington, but the north stream to pipeline poses a threat to both us and you security. you told this committee that you believed at the north stream to pipeline would have disastrous effects on us national security . that it would have disastrous effects on european security by making them subject to economic and energy blackmail from russia, and that it would enrich and in power putin to carry out that blackmail. do you continue to believe that i do sen? german economists, we spoke to say america's attempts to stop nordstrom to violated bas

the pandemic and global security biden has said in germany and the u. s. a. stand for democratic principles. let's take a listen to what both leaders have say. we are united by common valued supervision by a will to overcome the challenges facing us in today's day and age. and it's my firm conviction that it's not enough to just be committed to common values, but that we live in the time. first woman, chancellor in german history, the 1st chancellor from the former east germany. and now the 2nd largest, longest serving and chancellor, since he would call here's an exemplary life from groundbreaking service to germany. and i might add, i mean, from the bottom heart to the world on behalf of the united states. thank you for your career of a strong principal leadership and thank you for speaking out for what is right and for never failing to defend human dignity. and during that press conference, the flooding in germany was miracles. first order of business. the chancellor opened her remarks by expressing her shock at the scale of the catastrophe or at washin

but where germany and the u. s. differ is over nord stream to the gas pipeline runs from russia. us adversary to germany. by then, is concerned the pipeline gives russia an energy foothold into europe. it could be used as a destabilizing tool against ukraine, russia annex ukraine's crimean peninsula in 2014 and maintains a heavy military presence along its borders. ro, i reiterated my concerns about nor stream to chance. merkel are absolutely uniting our conviction that russia must not be allowed to use energy as a weapon to coerce or threaten its neighbors. i knew isn't built, we have different views on what this project entails, but i want to make it very clear. our understanding was that remains that ukraine remains a trans country for natural gas that ukraine has a like any country territorial sovereignty. the nordstrom to pipeline is almost complete. that's why the white house says it's too late to take punitive action in the form of sanctions against germany. president biden hope waving sanctions will allow

after years of contention, the u. s. has finally ditched its efforts to stop the construction of the nordstrom to pipeline. the project is set to double supplies of russian natural gas to germany under the baltic sea. and on wednesday, it was announced that washington had managed to eke out a compromise with berlin. separately, the russian president and german chancellor both expressed their satisfaction that the pipeline is approaching completion. leaders are satisfied that the construction of the north term to pipeline is nearly finished. the russian president noted germany's consistent commitment to the implementation of the project, which is exclusively of a commercial nature, and is aimed at bolstering the energy security of germany and the e. u. while the u. s. germany deal means supplies will be able to bypass ukraine, but it is not entirely out of pocket key of gets $175000000.00 for infrastructure development. and the current trends deal must stay in place. and that means it can still collect fees. moscow has al

for months, the u. s. has been putting pressure on germany, insisting that the completion of the north stream to pipeline poses a threat to ukraine. germany has finally responded saying that if russia takes threatening actions against the ukraine, it, along with europe, ian partners will limit russia's ability to export energy. so it's not me here, i am glad that we have now succeeded so far. and we also have a whole lot of tasks on some of course, in particular to see how we can also achieve longer treating period you where you can, the congress is the only one really willing to impose meaningful course on russian malign projects and support our allies face the russian aggression, it's clear that congress in the american people can count on the administration to do the right thing with regard to this war stream is 99 percent penny. the i did today was trying to reset or don was going to stop. it was not possible, but i had, as you know, very, very fruitful discussions on, on merkel. and so why is the us s

and then now all of a sudden we have all these opposites claiming that the u. s. should have been doing more when we have to remember that this is a pipeline on the other side of the world has nothing to do with the united states . and i think if you ask the germ, if you check chancellor uncle, a merkel, if you asked her, i think she would say the united states, it a little bit too much here. probably though time now for a quick break. but when we come back, we take you back inside the federal reserve as us central bank is urging patient on its covert decision. and as we go to break here, the numbers at the quote me, the ah, me, algorithms, neural networks have been following us every where we look online because our relationships are what matters most of us. and that's how we find meaning. and how we make sense in our place in the silicon valley see, don't mention in the slick presentations. however, the ghost workers who train the software humans are involved in every step of the process when you're using anything online. but we're sold as this miracle of automa

though the u. s. on germany has agreed that dependence on russian and she poses a security threat. while that means that support for ukraine, which is bypassed by the pipeline is provided. and the agreement has been that the 2 sides ensure that moscow and key of will extend a gas transit agreement. and moscow would face war us and use functions if small string to is used for political gain on teams. europe correspond to peter oliver. how's the details the united states and germany are steadfast in their support for ukraine sovereignty territorial integrity, independence, and chosen european pass. the united states and germany are united in their determination to hold, rush her to account for its aggression and malign activities by imposing costs of our sanctions and other tools. just a few weeks ago, it was announced that the construction phase of north stream 2 would be completed next month. after that, it takes around 3 months for certification and safety checks to be carried out, and then the gas can start flowing all the way from siberia, under the baltic sea and into germany t

for the term and office expenses, families rule 2, almost 6 decades. germany and the u. s. had condemned the presidential election held in may neither free nor fit. in president j. e. a boss, an arrow has appeared on television from his hospital bed himself. how long of an hour is being treated for stomach problem? the condition is related to a knife attack in 2018. to say he is making good progress. latin american governments are divided over unprecedented protests seen in cuba. thousands joined the biggest demonstrations they, in decades. tensions have boiled over in she laid rival cuban factions classed outside the embassy in the capital. santiago, class is on the streets of santiago, cases, both for and against the cuban government traded blows with each other and with the police. emotions are running high after the largest anti government protests on the island. in decades. many cubans living in chile felt the need to show solidarity with protesters and their families back home. it was impossible to live in cuba. you can't do it anymore. my family is hungry, the new me

the pandemic and a global security fight and has said in germany and the u. s. stand for democratic principles. let's take a listen to what both leaders have to say. we are united by common values, supervision by a will overcome the challenges facing us in today's day and age. and it's my firm conviction, and it's not enough to just be connected to common values, but that we live in the time. first woman, chancellor in german history, the 1st chancellor from the former east germany. and now the 2nd largest, longest serving and chancellor since he would call here is an exemplary life from groundbreaking service to germany. and i might add, i mean, from the bottom heart to the world on behalf of the united states. thank you for your career of a strong principal leadership and thank you for speaking out for what is right and for never failing to defend human dignity. during that press conference, the flooding in germany was miracles. first order of business. the chancellor open her remarks by expressing her shock at the scale of the catastrophe or washington bur

and then also the, the, the u. s. has made some concessions, for instance, they removed sanctions related to not for him to, i think the that they will hardly make more concessions at this stage, but the talk we're continue. so is there any space on any of these issues for meaningful progress during this meeting, or is it more or less a farewell visits, chancellor maxim, i think it's mostly a farewell visit. there will be talks and it's always useful to exchange positions . maybe also be informed about shift in positions and better understand also the domestic political situation for both sides. that's useful. but in a way, this is primarily farewell visit. marco will not make decisions that will bind the next german government. and i think both sides are aware of that that china has reported growth just under 8 percent for the 2nd quarter compared to last year. and it's less than half the rate it grew in the 1st quarter. i'm below economist forecast. manufacturing is flowing and consumer demands not picking up as qui

he also named china when he said that germany in the u. s. will continue to push for democracy and human rights to be he either he was targeting these countries, did then surprise you. he was very outspoken about that, but that's not really new brand. he does said really. i mean, i'm sure he's convinced about it, but he also does it for domestic reasons because the fear of china and the fear towards russia or off russia, especially now after the cyber attacks is growing in this country. and the president, the former president donald trump, was really outspoken and his criticism, most of china. so that puts some pressure on president biden, kind of to keep this critical approach alive. and again, there are some disagreements between germany and the united states, especially when it comes to join to trade with china. but medical also said, you know, there are many ways to, to deal with this competitive. but again, germany and the united states also do agree that human rights to play a role and that it is important kind of to face this competiti

precisely that germany and the u. s. are definitely trying to press the reset button in terms of transatlantic relations because of course, with the exception of those 4 years under president trump, germany always played an essential role for the u. s. is one of the main go to countries in europe simply because it is the strongest economy in the european union. and the biden administration wants to strengthen those ties again. now that the former strongest ally in europe the united kingdom is no longer a member of the european union. the disagreements, just one of them is not stream to this gas pipeline from russia, directly to germany. will we see compromise that did not seem to pipeline is probably the biggest disagreement between the 2 i would say, and president biden will probably reiterate the u. s. s. criticism when you meet the jim chancellor. today, the u. s. is of course, worried that russia might use the gas pipeline to put political pressure on ukraine, and of course, the u. s. also wants to sell their own gas
