sorry, europe correspondent peter oliver deal has been struck. it would seem between the social democrats, the green party, and the free democrats that would see all af schoultz, replace anglo merkel as the next chancellor of germany or left shoulder the ass social democratic candidate for the job in the last election in the government. that angler merkel headed before this our votes, he was the finance minister, also the vice chancellor in that group there. and the talks have gone on for quite a while. have been it was 8 weeks since the ballot here in germany. and they've been in these negotiations since around october time. it will be $73.00 days if it is announced later on as we're expecting that this deal has been struck. that's a lot better though, than the last time around germany had to form a coalition back in 2017 to 171 days for anglo merkel to come to the grand coalition that she ruled under. and when it comes to finalizing this though, what we're going to see is the social democrats are having a extraordinary party conference that wil

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

what concerns do you have, particularly, i know there are concerns across europe on this, but the threat of terrorism now coming out of afghanistan, since we seen the advent of isis k. i mean, you noticed the terrorism of the weight and the muslim bird has changed the last, the last 2030, the, the, the example on the move them country a multicolored, hard to do, but we will have the in clerks of some but that is not a problem, the problem is the number of people who are good social life by war and under the condition or right now, 50 percent, or ask me all the act. heidi, over and over represent the crime, especially when i come to rate and the women mostly sexual even because the differences between the court here will turn on the one hand and the extremely liberal jim, on the other hand, are huge. and to my, he is not that much that the, that the lot in regret to me, great terrorist and i me gratian, look the, to run the free on the, on the people who were trained and educated and visualized during what condition we will have been on home, the problem on lifestyle and our address and g

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 your 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, you know, ambitious 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

the jewish life in europe. ah, that's what film producer, bona and journalist eas, could no more exploring, delving into history and the present. ah, some things are painful, many or surprising. everything is important because life is so much more than what you think, you know? i would never so it could be made. so sophie, remind myself, i grew up in a completely different way. it's broad explorer, the stickers, jewish in europe. the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on dw the news . this is e w. news live from berlin tonight to another close call with dest, but a bama here binds again. for the 3rd time, the u. s. supreme court dismisses a republican let attempt to kill the affordable care act. the decision means millions will keep their health care coverage. also coming up tonight, china's crack down on hong kong now journalists appear to be be genes, target editorial staff and the pro democracy newspaper. apple daily were arrested in a massive police rate today and china. so.

they've opened up loads of debates in europe as well about how independent, how much should europe stand on. it's going to be, shouldn't really defend itself. and if it does defend itself, then that means making it actually more independent from american interest, which of the americans may not want. so there's an awful lot to pack here and yeah, this is maybe just the starting point. let's come back to do today's meeting. that one thing that stands out, it's michael's last dance, at least on the international dance floor. if you set the scene for us a bit what, what does that mean? and we're seeing a picture of the family photos that happened 10 minutes. we just think about how many of the faculty faces agular math. i tell you one telling thing the macros team was briefing the media yesterday and they were asked about, you know, how many of these so many. so she taken part in and they said, oh yeah, it's at least her 15th when you can't exactly remember how many of the summits you've taken parts and you know, you've been around for a long time. so, you know, germany is kind of waiting w

what is europe expecting from this trip? what? how are they seeing america and president biden at this moment from your view? well, obviously, europeans have lingering concerns from the last 4 years. this is difficult period both in terms of the pressure on the traditional transatlantic relationship, whether it was trade, whether it was politics, whether it was security, the message from washington very often sounded like if our way or the highway. ready there was quite a lot of 0 sum pressure and 0. so i'm thinking and of course i thought to reverse all of that, the message is not only we are back, but we're back. we're going to be partners. we're going to go back better and we're going to put the transatlantic relationship in america's allies and the values that we share at the very center of our quotes to the wider world in the set of problems . including, of course, russia, china, and transnational challenges like climate change, demick the president has to deal with. now you talk to national security and intelligence official

and that is a high for europe as well. as a result, the government has to, has had to re impose restrictions. you have a situation where the french police are saying that everybody from 11 years and older. now when they're outdoors, have to wear a mask. except if they're involved in cycling, if they're doing any kind of sports or if they're inside a vehicle. so you have within the new block itself, different european countries dealing with these high cove. it figures in a very different way. you know, it still feels like 2 years on a lot of government still trying to find their way in the dark on this. okay. for now, policy, thank you. of course, the united states still tops the global table when it comes to the number of deaths from cupboard. but president biden's, now distancing himself from his pledge to shut down the virus saying, now that the solution come come from the white house, but from individual states instead, there is no federal solution. this gets solved, state level, and then all my guess down to where the

another city, air force one touch down in geneva after a whole week in europe. joe biden now faces a very different meeting. on wednesday, he'll sit down with the rochelle vladimir putin at a time of frosty ties between the countries. among the issues of contention, rushes roll in ukraine and its cracked down on opposition. activists at home, a sharp contrast to the cordial meetings in brussels with you leaders, elio and tuesday, whereby an announce the reset of washington agenda. american, we are committed. we have never fully left, but we are researching back and it's overwhelming the interest of things to have a great relationship with a very different than my friends that you and us. and now the truth over the both boeing trade dispute, which will lead to the suspension of billions of dollars in tariffs, the conflict over subsidies to the rival aircraft make of had been going on for 17 years. the decision is seen as a move to join forces to stand up to a more assertive china agreement. we have fall now really opens a new chapter in our relationship because w

and that is a high for europe as well. as a result, the government has had to re impose restrictions. you have a situation where the french police are saying that everybody from 11 years and older. now when they are doors have to wear mosque except if they're involved in cycling, if they do in any kind of sports or if they're inside the vehicle. so you have within the, you block itself, different european countries dealing with these high covert figures in a very different way. meantime, the u. s. still tubs the global table when it comes to the number of cova deaths, but president biden's not distancing himself from his promise to shut down the virus and says the solution has to come from individual states rather whitehouse. there is no federal solution. it gets found state level and then ultimately gets down to where the rubber meets the road. and that's where the patient is in need of help or preventing the need for help. just over a year ago, biden slammed the trump administration's coven testing efforts as a travesty

in germany and continental europe? don't want to see a new wave of mass migration, especially not from afghanistan, where people after 40 years of war for them it's extremely difficult to, to integrate into day very liberal and feminine european societies. so there is a consensus from the center to the right. don't let them in and do and agree with the 2nd 2015. is that also concerned that there are terrorists, for example, who might exploit this new wave of migration this crisis as a way to get into europe and in your opinion, how big a security threat is that when i think about a tale bond and we all have only our information is incomplete, but what we see is that the taliban is very much a pass to an issue. so i don't expect that there is lead to a certain percentage of real hardcore isis terrorist among them. but of what we have learned in the last year that we have problems with african mike wren because of the, of the special situation with 40 years war. especially young man, are they have, well, you and they hav

but here in germany and elsewhere in europe, what we didn't know until these latest revelations is that not only would denmark a part of helping the n s a spy on us allies, but the, the danish defense intelligence service, the danish spy agency, we're crucial path in allowing the us to snoop on their allies, including here in germany. of course, chancellor angle america as well as german president frank volta, shine my and former candidate to be chancellor from the social democrats. pish, 9 brick. he has commented already and described this as a political scandal, no word as of yet from the chancellor's office on the latest revelations. the fact that denmark is geographically located where it is and how internet connectivity works across europe, puts denmark in a location. it makes it a hub that when you tap into those those, why is those cables, those into that cables that come through the country. it allows you to get your hands on some pretty sensitive information to get a glimpse into what that is according to the information as possible on to the press. the whole system, the networ

do you think europe can handle another of us as the 1000000 dollar question? many people here don't want to see a repeat of what happened. 56 years ago with the migration crisis that unfolded then, and certainly speaking to people here on the streets of paris, many of them are nervous that we could be seeing a dis, a room, a piece of that migration crisis again, as far as europe itself goes the continent is split particularly in terms of what to do with african refugees who've made their way. yeah. but actually don't have the white papers in terms of remaining in us as refugees. we did see a number of countries, right. and later to the european commission, insisting that they have the right to same back to have gunnison, those african refugees who don't fit the criteria. but subsequent to that, we did see a number of countries backtrack. so we simply seen the slips inside europe itself in terms of what to do with these migraines. the main concern being expressed by european countries is that they don't have the capacity actually to handle another huge wave of

it means american, boeing and europe. we need paid carousel for 5 years while biden has now left brussels and has landed in geneva ahead of his highly anticipated meeting there with russian president vladimir putin on wednesday. biden says, he doesn't expect big outcomes from those talks where he comes to confront fusion about cyber attacks and election interference, prison for his thoughts, his relations with the united states, their lowest points years, but had stressed, he's open to dialogue. well, meanwhile, china has called on nature leaders to stop exaggerating what beijing has now dubbed the china threats theory. the warning came off to the alliance said during the annual sunday on monday, the china presents systemic challenges to its security. while or who may show it exposes the bad intentions of the u. s. and a few others. todd officially created confrontation and in strange men and expand difference and disagreement. we reject that. gone are the days of a single country or one group of countries dictating matte

they fear that the case could spread to europe with a huge soon army of refugees. the french president and the german chancellor were among the 1st a voice that concerns does almost disappear. we must anticipate and protect ourselves against major, irregular my great re flows that would endanger those who use them and feed trafficking of all kinds. we will therefore take the initiative to build without delay, a robust, coordinated, and united response that will involve the fight against irregular flows, stuff on the long distance. it is now a given that ok, that can no longer carry out attacks against the united states from gaston, as they did on september 11, 2001 with everything that has followed has not been as successful and has not been achieved in the way we had planned despite her concern and the ensuing crisis and the potential impact it could have once europe, the german chancellor found the time to attend to film premier in berlin. again, despite criticism, the countries only managed to safely evacuate 7 of its national so far from campbell. even before r

in europe. he's trying to say, as he said in self riley to the global to what chris's around himself around against the soft players as well. but how willing is europe to follow? why washington leave? because if we're talking, for example, the market, especially talking about gasoline, 40 percent of back are, comes from russia. they don't want to cut off the pipeline, they need to my, for on the 15th. so how willing all day should have been to america as well. ok, that's very good question because there is no human at amity except on the southern side and come. so it would be multilateralism idea as the good old can may to id but everybody knows the american mean. everybody behind me and they are looking at their own in europe in some digest, especially germany, been by just reading while the fact that the americans and it was the republicans as well as democrats, came up with sanctions against our regions of germany, against cities, against companies, just like for iran because you actually alt

it involved development and investment projects across asia, europe, and beyond. more than 100 countries signed cooperation agreements with china on infrastructure projects. the initiative is estimated to include more than $2600.00 projects with a combined value of $3.00 trillion dollars. but china is accused of learning, developing countries into a death trap. it to control us relying cars, 2nd largest port after the country failed to make payments linked to the initiative . and critics also see it as a way of china extending its influence. while beijing says the project connect hundreds of countries and improves transportation networks. ah, that's not bringing our gas. joining us from washington dc is brett brewin, who's a former director of global engagement in the white house under president obama. he's also a former us diplomat. and joining us from cape town, a solution i do, he's a senior research fellow at the institute for global dialogue. that's the south african st time. thanks very much for speaking to us on inside story. brett, since the announcement o

it depends on where you want to go in europe. whether or not you're indian manufactured vaccine will be accepted for entry here in germany, along with 14 other countries in europe. you're good to go anywhere else, including france, italy, denmark, at a raft of all the human states. you face being turned away. that's despite the job being backed by the w. a joke, and the vaccination given as part of the un kovacs program. people who will already suspicious of vaccines will become even more suspicious. they could also lose trust in public health messages from governments, and be less willing to comply with covey rules by not accepting vaccinations approved by the world health organization. the un health authority says these nations may well be putting global vaccination programs at risk. such moves are already on the mind in confidence, in life 7 vaccines that have already been shown to be safe and effective effect in uptake of fractions and potentially putting billions of people that twist health experts are struggling to find the
