so europe is tied to russia, russia, 5 europe, basically before moscow. that's also not that bad because there's this. so the idea that russia should build bridges with europe try and push the americans out. do something that trump was wanted to do and establish time with germany primarily, but without the other european countries. that's kind of very close partnership. that's not very working out, but the commercial part of it. and then of course, the problem of ukraine, which right now finds itself in a position where moscow at the will, if it wishes to, can continue to supplied gas to europe with contract obligations, but not sending much or at all to ukraine. that's for sure. let's, let's talk a little bit more about ukraine's options here, michael. but if you crank continues to feel that europe in the united states are not looking out for them on this issue, does that risk join them closer to china's or bit as has been suggested by some? yeah, absolutely. i think the feeling in ukraine is i'd recently return from there is that it's been thrown under

i mean, europe and i repeat, europe is the largest owner and investor in africa and around the world. so we're just trying to use and you to a new instrument to gather all the resources that are already being invested by europe, european companies, and european governments, and try to bring in and a one umbrella with a common objective. and these objective is to be when, when we don't want these to be only something that serves european industries, interests, or own european companies, we want also to cooperate with local governments and local business of post. you said it was quite interesting when you sat there and said louise santos were aimed at bringing together an existing trade in existing projects. how much if this is going to be new money the, the headline figure of course, is $300000000000.00 euros of investments over the next 6 years or so. but how much of this is actually new? but we have new at facilities now and most of what will be new will be money brought by actually the private sector and some of the financial institutions that will be there in that will be also asso

for travel in europe. so will a vaccine curtain end up dividing, rich and full nation? this is inside story. ah hello and welcome to the show. i'm sammy's, a dan, so cove, it $900.00 vaccines, a vital for controlling the pandemic. as we know, widespread immunization is allowing parts of the world, including the u. s. in europe to reopen for tourism and trade. but it's a different story in developing nations. millions of people across africa still waiting to receive their 1st jobs. the w h o warns the continent is facing an extremely aggressive 3rd wave. the african union is covered, 1900 envoy is strongly criticized europe for failing to deliver the millions of doses. it promised we'll bring in our guests in a moment. but 1st, this report from victoria gate and b marie a 57 year old mother of 5 has come to this clinic and can chester to get her 2nd job of the asters in vaccine. the democratic republic of congo is suffering from a 3rd serge of corona, virus infections, as many other parts of africa. i think

and the threat was that they would cleave europe in the united states and allow food to defeat europe in detail, which is, you know, kind of what he's doing. so the problem is, you know, the military capacity, you know, nato cannot muster 100 battalions to match the 100, the times that boots mass on ukraine. so i don't think the west is looking at carrying us militarily. and as i said earlier, we're going to reconstitute something like pershing, that's going to take 15 years. you know, we shut down those assembly lines. so there's a really imbalance your own military side in favor of russia. and i think that leads the west to look towards the political and economic solutions. thank you. are already inclined to fit unfortunately, we're running out of time. let's hope that diplomacy will finally prevail, pavel taken, holla, austin, bennett, and david ross, i really appreciate you. and i thank you and thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website as a dot com for further discussion. because our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash h

and it is about europe itself. so i think we need to be very mindful also of the interest of our allies in the region here in europe. i've given you say that what are the implications of this open august packed when it comes to europe's own security future? that is what we are going to have to look at over the next 18 months. how exactly the going to shape up? how much of a compliment is possible? how much bye, and it's possible going to be supported in general, a stable and secure in the pacific region is in europe interest. so how can you support these methods? how can technology cooperation be supported? how can cooperation between part that's in the region and that includes japan, australia, india, even foster, even more. this is in europe interest in general. so also the quad meeting, looking onto it. this is something that is not against europe in any sort of fashion, but stabilizing the region and pushing back against funding. that is something that is very much to europe and interest. it is clear that the u

for germany and for europe. well, it's interesting that every member of the upcoming new government announces that we need to radical changes when it comes to climate change. and they are all pushing for renewables that more needs to be done more than what the previous government has done. and given that we've seen the rising gas prices that could potentially be leveraged on the stand, that it's now high time. and we shouldn't discuss the nitty gritty is of how it is turned is when mail next to a building or all the reasons why it didn't meet the targets that have been defined before. so there are certainly a push coming from the current what was described as a perfect storm that we'll see more efforts and more investment in renewables and decreases the cio strategic dependency from russia. pulses. this is a crisis moment. everybody's looking for leverage. oh, it comes to ukrainian the seem to be pretty much excited about the potential. what might happens next, particularly because they are now going to be part

incent europe not to intervene and do any kind of where ups that could happen in eastern europe. cornelia, you have winter and you have energy crisis. how are we to blame? is it the post pandemic recovery? is it russia or is it weather related events, particularly last winter? it is the perfect storm you had last winter. you had such a cold winter that star was on plenty shed and i have some sympathy for gas brom again for 1st filling their own storage because they had a cold winter to. so dare storage shoe. it was, was deplete that to, for 1st you know, you 1st look after your own people and then then you go further. so, so that's one thing. then we have obviously the competition as was mentioned between them, asia and europe. for l n g, we're big because china is importing more and more l n g. this year china will become the largest import, the globally of l. n. she, it will, it will supercede japan in that position. and so, so we have, and obviously we have some geopolitical tensions. but, but, but mainly it's the perfect storm of supply and demand. and when it comes to price, yes, obv

this is not only the construction of the united nations of europe. we have make a long wait 3040 years of integrating and strengthening super national competence within the u. i would also look at the mission is probably not directly elected, but you could go broad by parliament and you'll be barbara exotic. ok, the bottom is not highly apartments as we know the national no, but already has to do that. what i hear is that i have some disagreement about what it is that these right wing parties want, in terms of the future of europe. their visions, i want to come to, you call it schmidt, about some of the factors that play here, the context in which this is all happening. what do you think that the migrant crisis has done not just on poland border with en route, but across the e u. what do you think it has done for these sort of nationalist populace parties? you know, while the, you may not agree with when many of these parties are leaders or even nations, it is open to discussing, for example, you financing or physical border infrastructure. so what d

we need more geopolitical thinking in europe. i looked at the se in address of the head of the european commission, which said that she would make it a european geopolitical commission. and it's not. i mean, she mentioned joe politics once, and that was in regard to coven. so i think there's a real lack of looking at the bigger picture and you geo politics. and the more that russia and china coordinate and work together, the more europeans really have to see that russia and china are in the same basket . and i think that with the next nato strategy, we're going to really see that just oldenburg has been hinting very loudly that this is what's going to be in it. and after the, when president biden was in brussels and they had signed the news, nato communicate and became quite clear that china, which was only mentioned once before, appeared many, many times are documents a link which has given many people an indication that this could perhaps be dominance of the agenda of the doctrine of nato, for the, for, for the years to come ba

it's not just a problem for europe. the rest of the world could go without as rich countries corner the market in a similar way to the vaccines. this year alone, new york natural gas futures are up 106 percent to a high of $5.20 for $1000000.00 british thermal units. it's highest in more than 7 years. but the equivalent gas in europe and asian markets costs $25.00 for $1000000.00 british thermal units. storage sites, a less than 72 percent full. that's the lowest in a decade. or knock on effects. a huge cf industries holdings. one of the was biggest fertilizer groups has been forced to close to plants in the u. k, sparking fears of a looming shortage of ammonium nitrate that could hit food supplies and a shortage of carbon dioxide production could hit the meat to soft drinks. industry will gas is also used a power electricity generation. unsurprisingly, prices of soaring in that market to several energy suppliers have already collapsed in the u. k. governments across europe preparing to hand up money to households the c

the mistreatment of asylum seekers in europe. i want you to take a look at this video taken by undercover jonas on the croatia bosnia border so what you are seeing here are refugees being beaten. this technique is used to discourage people from entering european union. it's known as pushback, and it is and go in this episode of the stream we ask, is europe abandoning refugees? if you're on youtube right now, the comment section is live, put your thoughts, your comments or questions right here in the chat section. and you 2 could be part of today's episode at the st. ah, as get this conversation started with nicole maslow, to me, you're very welcome to the stream, the co festival. please introduce yourself at low to our international audience. tell them who you are, what you do. hi, my name is nicole figler and i am an investigative journalist working for swiss national television and are together with lighthouse reports on a lot of other european journalists. i published this footage that you just saw last week, which what was qu

and the fear by our domestic industry and labor force that they will export more to europe and in europe and export more twice. and that's why we put tariffs on to europe, and there are ways to try to deal with this. what are called tariff quotas, that, that you might be able to, the europeans have to read it. that mean the reality is we can get the chinese to reduce their, our capacity. and after years of talking about this, the trump administration finally acted and politically, it's very difficult for joe biden to say to the steel industry and the steel workers were not going to afford you this level of protection anymore. but you're right and are allergic issue with europeans for understandable reasons, but it's not at all clear how we resolve that on f. ganna. stan, i mean there's a little bit of pushback here. i mean, it's true from my understanding that we, we didn't negotiate with the europeans about the pull out. we just announced it. and that the excuse given by the bible people is, well, they should have known what we're going to do because by and talked about it in the campai

this is europe on al jazeera. ah, oh no 3 days it's already been told with south korea, but army a what it describes is hostile policies, a drunk ah, hello, i'm emily angland. this is al jazeera, alive from the coming up, the us ramped up explosions of haitian asylum.

and 36 of europe's 50 most polluted cities are in the country. but in the ones badly polluted city of crack of science is hitching a ride into the evening sky. every time this sight, seeing balloon goes up on both senses. st. apaloosa measurements down in 2019 city authorities band, the burning of fossil fuels within city limits and the effects have been immediate . we see yeah, great, changing the city, the quality of the air is say, growing cra, city out, or if the city is pushing to hurry, much pressure to it. oh, did you name me since the crack of the experience demonstrates the possibilities ahead for po, phase out cold. you slasher missions clean out the air at the same time. the getting there is a challenge. salisia the regional, the for a front light of that green energy transition. and as that transition gathers pace, of course, all forms of renewable energy needs to be ramped up from solar to winds. even the whole debate over nuclear power. and we're going to focus now on hydro power. and the problem with that is that as we build more d

and this divisions in europe, dividing lines is also making europe as a continent less and less relevant. now, if nato would go back to its original mission to be a status coal power and it's military interventionism and this expansion is mixed with again, the source of stability in europe. however, this is kind of what they're trying to negotiate now between moscow in washington. but that's very different from saying that natal dismantles, theresa nano is if they don't like, why just if nato were the, the only problem. why did president put in choose to invade the crimea after ukraine signed the corporation deal with the european union? was not natal? that was the problem. in that case, there was a deal with the european union's well, it's too large extent because of the hello tactics. if it can see what's coming down the road, i mean the natal started with expanding to a couple of countries now it just keeps expanding. and obviously the u. s. s. s. s state that it's intention of dragging your grant into nato even when only a small minority wanted to be part of nato. and furthermore, th

global balance of economic power and reshipped with europe is not. acting to get control of those so as we know germany is one of the countries that impose strict pandemic restrictions the president says the health situation has led to a crisis of trust in government policies frank walter steinmeier on saturday conceded there were mistakes and urged germans to pull together even about i'm going to be given this your expectation for those in government is clear get it together let's all get together deacon patriots let's bring forth what we're made of we are not world champions in dealing with the pandemic but we're not a total failure either we are the republic of germany we doubt a lot but we're capable of a lot and it's capability not doubt that counts now of oil rigs or statements like that that you just heard from the german president signal to you that european leaders are learning from past mistakes at this point. well they do learn from past mistakes but we constantly find ourselves in a new situation because the pun demick doesn't follow a sc

the time is over, the capital is pouring into europe. europe is going to be the winner of the next 20 years. and with insurance, we have one of the biggest areas to disrupt and we believe that the disruption globally will come from europe. we have at the right point of time, we have the right talent, we have the right to skills, and we now have the capital to really make an impact globally. do you think britain's exit from the european union might change any of that forecast? absolutely not. so britain, of course, has made a decision and that slows down essentially the development in the u. k. we, for example off, have the difficulty off and not having the advantage of selling our insurance policies under a single european license. now also to britain, we will focus on further european countries in the u. u. first before going to britain. of course, britain is an interesting market for us as well, but it makes things a lot more difficult capital. it's pouring into the u less so to britain, the u. k. has kind of temporarily lost its crown as the biggest share trading hub. do you think

busy with europe in union, to abolish sanctions altogether. and kind of the you keeps talking about hybrid warfare that bella bruce is waging some type of hybrid attacks and hybrid warfare. what exactly can you break that down for us? what exactly hybrid warfare mean when, when it's applied to bell roofs right now hydro and this gauge is kind of a sugar water for it's not the real are, i mean i mean, but alicia is not saying that they are doing these things. they are doing st just as a threat. i mean to the european union, and they said, this is margaret calling to better russia to go to the you. but they are not saying that the printer's, that's the form of hybrid barbara risk. but i think i said these are the things that you can count on and all of that, we know that we have some other problems with them to you. but they tried to cross the border into holland, all of which is not one of the most key members of europe in europe in you can use as also as an element towards forums who say, look, you see what your opinion is good or we can act t

again, sorry, fuji's or asylum seekers coming into europe. and on the other hand, neighboring countries such as turkey, where they won their 2. bo passmore migration flows towards europe. and because number one, they want to elevate their own problem button number 2, they can use, it is migration flows as a negotiating directed against some more financial compensation from europe. and so basically we end up having a big number of people caught in the middle between iraq and a hard place where they're trying to cross the border. and they're being deborah encouraged or helped to cross the border. so what i'm song was on the little chap is at some concern, but i also a lot of anti migrant thoughts right now. maybe mirroring what is happening in europe and he put some ideas and thoughts team. can me help me out with this one? how miss us, what right or legal case the country is invoke when accused of pushing back my rights. i think so far and number of them i've been a been denying them. i think i've been denying it and, and i think this is why t

well, what's going on now in europe? dozens of people are being criminalizing criminalize for do that. i think what is helping people need, helping records in my guns. you need immediately to adopt jarvis and let these 2 young people come on with their lives. we'll begin our discussion in a moment, but 1st let's go to john sutton. us in offense. john, how do the greek people react into this particular trial? well, at the moment, this isn't very well publicized. the news of this is not very widespread. there are other things like current virus claiming the limelight. this is a story that's been ongoing since september 2018 when the indictments took place. there is awareness, very high awareness among the humanitarian community in the 8 community. and there the reactions that people are pulled because the emergency response and trans national was an age group that was working very closely with authorities including the atlantic coast because the local authorities, unless was the government they had cleared all the hurdles

in comparison with world powers, europe's defense spending has been far behind. although europe biggest and 2nd biggest economy, germany and france rank 7 and 8 out of the top 10 spenders. so 14 european countries this year proposed the rapid response force to help democratic foreign governments needing urgent help in 2007 the you set up battle groups of 1500 personnel to respond to crises, but they've never actually been used. it also established a 7900000000 euro european defense fund to finance the next generation of war planes, tanks and ships. the money will only be available to your opinion, defense companies in washington as already raised competition concerns. however, there is a little known fund that has gone under the radar, the 5000000000 euro european piece facility. it'll provide training and equipment, including for the 1st time weapons to non european military forces around the world . of the prospect of europe giving alms to dictators or on democratic forces, especially in the south hell in north west africa is raising concerns. france is in the

you know, for example, when donald trump 1st went to europe, he suggested that to europe or the united states, a great deal of money. you know, when, when joe biden visits with other nato leaders, i don't think that's going to be a part of his lexicon. donald trump hesitated to invoke the article 5 of the nato treaty that the united states will come to the defense of, of its nato allies. so i do think that, you know, constructive engagement is what the, by the ministration is hoping for. it is meaningful. but as we see with these, your ambition plans, whether we're talking about vaccines, talking about climate, talking about the global economy. the challenge for all of these leaders will be delivering results that their people can tangibly feel. okay, ever turn to you carol, i knew what does the you want from this g 7 and the subsequent meetings wave fight and that are sets take place in the days that follow because certainly, yes, the message america is back as being delivered to bite and is not donald trump, so relations arguably will be slightly easier. but in concrete terms, what i

infiltrated one of europe's fastest growing far right organizations. it calls itself generous you know you don't see 10 generation identity because the forces across the continent. are on the cover reporter louis make contact with the group's flounders brunch. generation identity and set up a store outside its headquarters a ball called the citadel. material for the public but you know it's common for. the you know the body to the to 3 feet is about to go out the film. which of the developers work on the mag reaching out investigator is already in but i saw a little bit. more of the louis is led into the citadel where generation identity members drink and discuss the political strategy even if you don't know. the regime in the midst of a call for your question which. this is a dell is a ball with a courtyard at the back. there's another cool yard by the front entrance. g.i. members usually meet at the ball on a friday evening our undercover reporter uses a concealed camera to record conversations. the hospital says membership has nearly tripled in a ye

are afghans really heading to europe, enlarge numbers? authorities and turkey said more than 27000 african migrants have been intercepted so far this year as they cross the border with iran. it's a route commonly used to smuggle afghans to europe. but only $3200.00 are estimated to have crossed. you borders in the 1st half of this year. that's a decrease in more than 40 percent compared to the previous year. if you're with a, when ya is increasingly being used as a route by african refugees, the government is accusing bella was pushing asylum seekers across the border. at least 85 percent of african refugees lived in countries that neighbor africana stan like iran and pakistan. shabby. let me ask you, you and hcr has released a non return advisory for afghanistan, calling for a bar on force returns of afghan nationals. what is the level of concern for those who might be forced to return? what could happened to them? well, in light of the unfolding, humanitarian emergency in the country and the protection issues and the concerns that we're

just hundreds of meters away from europe. 70 are not going to take you. are going to wait. wait, wait, wait. dozens of people in the camp of left a home country to find medical treatment in europe. some are physically disabled like 5 year old mom was born without last. some struggles with mental issues. i didn't tell like terminated saying no. i don't care. i have to give the not the, in germany maybe in another country to deal with me to give him a health. why it's, i call a g, get better fragile people used by bell, russian leaders look at shanker and a cynical power play with europe. with songs. believe them, i saw the jimmy doesn't take them. what can we do? there's no way out. a good idea. not in the good images of the camp, a widely broadcast by, by lucian and russian stay tv, commenting that europe lapse down people in need a visit of the world health organization ames to counter this. i'm in touch with many, many countries. and many countries already to support, there's a lot of pressure on europe to take these 2002 migrants and asylum seekers. will this happen? wel

ah, the 8th of may, 1945, a victory in europe. nazi germany surrendered and the rest of europe rejoice. france and its empire celebrated the end of 5 years of fierce fighting and the step by step we conquest of home territory. it was epic into eunice brazza via the car. and algiers. people also took to the streets in celebration. ah, but perhaps deep down, they sense that this was a time to ask for their do that shed their bloods. now it was payback time. ah, in algeria, the french colonial authorities allowed public demonstrations on condition that no one fly the algerian flag but in the city of city, the parade would turn into a battle field. one that lives on in memory to day. sure, no. read no and if she day of equally good. yes ma'am. under new additionally not dying, good food on that one. and you know now i stayed on kiona did not have new place. she buried to sit deep. that new socialist got on was edgy disgust. won't be. she blew up there. she'll quit the gate. the loss is elsie presley shaving la police, we she say can go and do these. i breeza ledford l e v r or mass. sure.

and the enormous pressure that's going to put on to the health systems across europe. so i think i think the winter is going to be very challenging. my view is if we can make it to spring next year, we've been a much stronger position but, but what, what told is that going to take in the meantime? lawrence, thank you very much. indeed, not thanks to all of these weather smith, florence young and maria gone, shook and thank you to you too. for watching you can see the program again anytime by visiting our website, odyssey dot com and for further discussion, go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash a j inside story. and you can also join the conversation on twitter. handle is a inside story for me, rob madison. i'm the char, see here. bye for now. the me ah. a fluent to stretch some neighborhoods, a run by social and economic despair. one 0, what a fake the bad of local heroes. every one of us ever got a responsibility to change our personal life for their suburban drake on out to 0. i prefer to see things for myself to look at things, not through

, but in some way as well in the eastern europe. as you mentioned, for china having any kind of of allies or partners in eastern or western europe, it's very useful. this is one of the reasons why it had established the 17 plus one mechanism, which was a kind of cooperation mechanism between china and eastern european countries. and now lithuania has even said that it will be, it has withdrawn from that mechanism. so that is certainly a, some kind of a blow for china. but indeed, in the last couple of years, things have not been very not gone very well in large part due to the perceptions of a sort of foreign policy on the part of china. perceptions are not very widespread in europe, and that has led a lot of countries to, you know, to focus more on pushing back again, china in this region in the, in the pacific. think your insight and certainly a story that will develop, i'm sure as time goes on. but while hardy said, thanks for joining us from take you. thank you. thank you. now so toes and the video has emerged are foolish way, w

our immediate priority is to protect europe's consumers, especially the most vulnerable 2nd. we have to make our entire system better prepared and more resilient, so that we don't have to face a similar situation in the future. natural gas prices have soared in europe in recent weeks. partly driven by a certain demand, as countries emerge from locked downs, natural gas accounts for a quarter of the european union's energy needs. the majority of that is imported into the block from countries including how jerry a no way and qatar, but mainly russia. some say that the kremlin is fueling the price rise by failing to boost gas supplies in order to pressure the you to prove the controversial nordstrom to pipeline. at an energy conference in moscow though, prison vladimir putin said russia was ready to increase supply electron last bruce really to do sure. if they ask us to increase deliveries, we are ready to do so. we are increasing them as much as our partners are asking us to avoid future energy crises. the u commissioner says countries must focus on transitioning away from fos

200000000 facts seems off johnson and johnson were supposed to be shipped to europe to be vaccinated here in the coming months the is of course this concern now this will all be delayed because people will be reluctant and also there will be a choice by the separate countries to impose an age limit for example the netherlands has sat with astra zeneca below 60 we're not using it anymore so that means that every country has a separate policy and of course that this could create delays. still ahead on al jazeera syrian refugees face losing the very homes they fled how government supporters are benefiting from the latest land grab laws fans cry foul the controversial super league is on the verge of collapse after a huge backlash. but . now we have cut off the cold supply the arctic air is no longer blowing having done its damage in the videos of france and there's no obvious movement of of cloud in from the north that has been for days and days if not weeks but it's a massive cloud here in eastern europe that's where rain is coming up snow possibly a little bit in western side of russia

and it's not a question of going to china. china is coming to europe. they have invested in over 10 percent of european ports. we've seen russia, china maritime exercises in the mediterranean, in the baltic. we've seen like fire exercises with them off the coast of clinical, near clinic grad. so i think that, you know, europe doesn't have this kind of the goober laying back and thinking china is far away. it's happening right here in their own neighborhood. well, you spoke there a little bit about the context of the u. s. while pulling out and pulling back in certain parts of the world, particularly obviously, and i've got to start over the last few weeks. david, this was, is a us lead mission node that started with counted terrorism became nation building. really, the europeans were always there because of natural law, school 5 out of solidarity with the u. s. so because this was always a washington initiative. why is it that you feel quite so betrayed at the moment? well, it's a good question. i think it's because of the way in which the withdrawal wa

so i think that, you know, europe doesn't have this kind of. the goober is laying back and thinking time is far away. it's happening right here in their own neighborhood. while you spoke there a little bit about the context of the u. s. while pulling out and pulling back in certain parts of the world, particularly obviously in afghanistan over the last few weeks. david, this was always a us lead mission. know that started with counter terrorism, became nation building. really, the europeans were always there because of national article 5 out of solidarity with the u. s. so because this was always a washington initiative. why is it that you feel quite so betrayed at the moment? well, it's a good question. i think it's because of the way in which the withdrawal was announced, it was set out that the press there wasn't really, you know, there was consultations on an eventual withdrawal. i think. but i don't think there was consultations on the way the, the timeframe that withdrawal would occur, that it occurred over the summer that caused a lot of
