the streets in france... the irony for britain leaving now is that at the time of this ridiculous campaign for brexit began, they said that europe is falling apart, all europe is not the future, france is dilapidated. now suddenly we see a vision where for one thing the european union is growing faster than we are, we are at the back of the line for g7 growth. but france and germany look very united, very strong. europe seems to have new strength and energy and enthusiasm, and we have been left behind. we are the ones who are going to feel like the outsiders, unimportant. we will be the flyover zone for anybody else. nobody will come and talk to us, they will be going to germany and paris. i think what eunice says about the streets, it seems far away, but it is so important, and it is what links two people who are so unalike, which is emmanuel macron and donald trump. they were both elected by amazing disaffection and anger at the grassroots level. if they don't succeed, where is that anger going to go? this

they have not beaten france since 197a. lost to france the last three major tournaments. it was a nervy match. there were few chancesin was a nervy match. there were few chances in the match as a whole. but the thing about this england side, which is something they have not donein which is something they have not done in previous tournaments, if they are ruthless. there was one chance forjodie taylor, injidup. she is on course for the golden boot. a huge win for them to night. —— taylor, and she took it. they will be at no one in this championship, now. —— tonight. will be at no one in this championship, now. -- tonight. so they are now the highest ranked team. who is going through as the favourite? i think you said it there. england are the highest ranked team. they have looked formidable and found different ways of winning every single time. but i think maybe the netherlands will have selling to say about that. that is who england played next in the last four. they are the host nation, and even though they perhaps has not embraced the tournament as a whole, they

what will france do? how will france cooperate with all of these areas with china, and what do you think personally of mr. xi jinping? how do you want to continue to work with china, and what do you personally think of mr. xi jinping? thank you very much. president trump: he is a friend of mine. i have great respect for him. we have gotten to know each other very well. a great leader. he is a very talented man. i think he is a very good man. he loves china, i can tell you. he wants to do what is right for china. we have asked him for some assistance with respect to north korea. probably he could do a little bit more, but we will find out. we are working on some trade deals. he has been very nice. he has let beef go back in, certain financing go back in, certain credit card financing and other various things go back in at my request, which is very good for our farmers. a lot of good things are happening. but we will be working on major trade components. president xi is a terrific guy. i like being with him

with the allies in france. i think it is important because beyond the daily news, we live in countries with roots that are deeper and go further and yochbbeyond who we are. so the presence of president trump who is in my eyes not only natural, and i also think he's an excellent leader of our troops for both of our countries. earlier today we shared parts of our joint history, and attended a museum and then we had a joint working session, and i'm extraordinarily pleased about it. we have been able to talk about a number of subjects of joint interests and shared convictions and more important a road map for us to work together in the coming months. we agreed to the utmost to implement free and fair trade and this is what the g-20 expressed with some sensitivity. we want to work together in order to implement some measures to tackle instability wherever it is taking place by sharing the information that we have and making sure that both the unions and the united states can take the necessary measures that can prot

is no longer france, he said that france is a disaster in september, all coming on the heels of a country that was shaken to its core, the terrorists who had left the country came back and carried out deadly attacks on dozens and dozens of french people, and they were rattled, and now when you become president, you modulate your language, and that is what we have seen as well. >> yeah, it is one thing to say those things if you are a writer or a candidate, and i think that his critique of the immigration policy is correct, they basically imported what is now an indigenous terrorist problem, which is an enormous wonder, but on a day like this, when you're president of the united states, it is about something much larger, american servicemen died in france to liberate france, to save western civilization, and that is what we are marking today. >> bill: how did you rate this trip to the g20 last week? >> i thought it had a very strong start, i think what will be most remembered as the warsaw speech, where we celebrated western civilization, i think we see the strip and a little bit of the fr

do you think this is an opportunity for france and germany are stronger france and germany together. to take a whole take over from the united states possibly. it is at least an opportunity there together the forces within europe which is quite important because. if we remember the first to days and weeks. off the u. s. president who was very much about but its relations trying to split up europe in different bits and pieces and to make bilateral deals with a different capitals. by germany and france joining their forces it will be a very difficult. to circumvent them and this i think is a very important message also to the rest of the european countries. that is possible together around this corpus that is now built between berlin and paris so creating listen to also. know couldn't continue sorry. and also to too often alternative to what the americans would basically all for. other countries in europe i think that's the them a most important strategic perspective that we have in here. that europe can rebuild itself possibly i with this move between germany and france and really als
