president macron was quizzed before the senate this win a. -- this wednesday. footage emerged of someone beating protesters. and on the peninsula, north korea's leaders held an agreement, closing one of the main missile and test sites. alarm, over 5 million yemeni children and the country's ongoing civil war. speak to the organization's director. hour, theg up this u.s. china trade war heats up and we hear from american manufacturers hit by the trade tariffs. all that and plenty more, live from paris. but first, our top story here in france. president macron's top security aid has been facing tough questions before the senate committee today. was thrusten ali back into the spotlight in july after video of him beating demonstrators during the midday protest. the protest as an observer, intervening to help police and controlling protesters there. take a listen. >> ia was not his bodyguard and i've never been his bodyguard. when you have a task going between the candidates, you are in close physical proximity to the person. >> never crossed the red line. he was re

president emmanuel macron weighing in on this yesterday. disrespectinga our agreement, i cannot accept because we would not do a trade deal with america under the president if it is not compliant with our economic objectives because it would be inconsistent . lot of ourg a citizens to make such a shift. if you open your markets to products and goods coming from a country which decided not to respect the same rules and constraints, it is crazy and inconsistent. we will have ongoing discussions to avoid a trade war and i think it is good to have such negotiations. i think if we can fix the industry on cars and we could have a transatlantic find it would be how to specific arrangements to avoid a trade war. a big deal at the one negotiated with the former administration could be acceptable if the u.s. is compliant with the paris agreement. >> let me ask you about another country, you have theresa may, brexit, and for the first time in the labour party, at least a hint that you could have a second referendum. my question is if the british were

the only way could be stopped by macron. macron and europeans have a deal in hand. what will theresa may say? only one of us has got a book out about britain's success. —— about how brexit is a success. well, you can't go half, you are a brexiteer now. no, i am not. that brexit is going to happen. there has been a kind of change. a set piece and the action was on the fringes. at the centre was a stage upon which things were played out. were real policy arguments. for the speech to go right. really is crunch time. especially given how last year went. control of the hall. there was all of this energy and basically momentum won. the sea of palestinian flags and the conference hall was united. we want to know what theresa may has to do in her conference speech now. is her option, as stephanie outlined, what will she say? poulter theresa may in the tory party. —— of good will. she needs a very low bar. around her, she needs not to be handed a p45. she will still have to say something about brexit. she will say something about the chequers agreement. god bless her

and just thinking about emmanuel macron and barnier and everyone else, do they feel sorry for theresa may and think she is the least worst option? that's the thing, and barry is completely right when he says you need perhaps not a charismatic leader but perhaps a strong leader. a divorce leader? a newly divorced leader. this is a reference to borisjohnson. there are many problems with him becoming prime minister, including this — that the context in which any british prime minister is operating is part of the problem. a hung parliament, the european union with the set of rules that is attached to it. it doesn't change if they change prime minister. last few seconds. a fudge? something will happen, because it always does. something will happen but the thing is open. i think perhaps it will be rejected by the british parliament, perhaps it will be considered not good enough, but i have the feeling that they will come up with a deal. look, i'm sorry, we have to leave it there are. great to see you all back refreshed and ready to go for another parliamentary term with everything we have

but now, what is happening in europe, and macron developing this idea that the next european elections next spring and that will be between progressives, let's say, and populists and nationalists. and we need britain onside. we can't let britain drift away. and i perceived some slight change of mood that, you know, it might be tempting to let britain drift away but it is not practical and we need britain and we need a deal. we need to help britain and save face and just this week, you know, barnier was trying to be very practical about this. you know, the irish question. the irish stew, to add another cliche. let's make it work. i mean, let's go into details. just explain that — a frictionless trade agreement. if you don't want a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, you need still a border, so perhaps the irish sea. of course, it's not acceptable but it actually would mean probably less controls because the flood of goods between the uk and northern ireland is actually quite minimal. so you could have ports outside of ireland, you could have on—board ch

emmanuel macron says cooperation with the u.s. is still necessary. >> we have a lot of things in common. we want to work together. >> a record number of heads of state and government are attending the general assembly. china and russia will be represented by their foreign ministers. >> the supreme got -- supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh went on national tv to deny sexual misconduct claims against them. he gave an interview on fox news where he also claimed he was a virgin at the time of the accusation. he gave that interview after a second woman came out with allegations against him. >> yes, there were parties. the drinking age was 18. yes, people might have had too many beers. i think all of us have done things we look back in high school and regret or cringe a bit. that is not t what we're talkikg about. we're talking about allegations of sexual assault. and neverxual -- sexually assaulted anyone. i never had anything close to sexual enter scores -- was the sexual intercourse in high school or for years after. areavanaugh a

you, a medical macron said he is not concerned by falling approval ratings. he wants to push ahead with plans to reform eu policy and the french economy. he spoke to john mickelthwait at the one planet summit in new york. >> we find an important -- assigned an important agreement in june. we decided with chancellor merkel a clear roadmap with more integration of the eurozone with ambition for our policy, our green policy and big innovations. i think now what we have to do is to deliver to do the maximum before the end of this year. it will be a big debate for the upcoming european elections and deliverow the critical, [indiscernible] and not what i proposed a most it by day -- almost day by day. we define a clear and ambitious mandate for the next commission and the next [indiscernible] the polls are lower this year. does that give you some worries? >> know. i do not have midterm elections. that is my good point. beiously the best way to very high in the polls is to give money to people. it is sure. it is not what i propose to my so we -- i have to reform pas

pulled out of the climate treaty, that is something macron has supported. they have a transatlantic trade dispute. france is opposed to u.s. policy in iran, and france is a part of the u.s. has raised questions about. i am not sure what joint statement might come out of the meeting, but it seems they have more issues that they disagree on than they agree on. they do have a personal connection. they seem to like each other and get along. they will try to find a way to make something positive come out of this. top ofe is not typically the agenda, but is it unavoidable? >> it is. when you see what is happening between the u.s. and china, the trade war that has erected -- that has erupted, it has a lot of leaders at the meeting expressing concerns about the impact on emerging markets, global growth. we have seen the imf warned about the impact. today, we heard comments from the president of south africa, the president of argentina, and even a top south korean official , saying the trade war could be one of the biggest problems the world is confronting over the

today seems to have been bad cop, emmanuel macron, and even worse cop, emmanuel macron, and even worse cop, emanuel akron's slightly more awful, mrs angela merkel. they have come up with this deadline, if you don't have it and agreement on the border by october 19, then nothing will have — — border by october 19, then nothing will have —— happened in november, which is when the prime minister was leading us to believe we would have some sort of deal. —— emmanuel macron. now she has come out and said we have given you a solution, if you don't like it, what is your solution? let's talk about the times as well as we carry on, sorry david. she had, she is right at this particular bennett when she says there is my plan, which has become known as the cheque is planned. there is nothing else. i am told that my name is —— my namesake, the former secretary, no eye have not beenin former secretary, no eye have not been in that role, i assure you, thank goodness. he is going to bring forward his plan, we are told, a habit of the conservative party conference in the next ten days o

when macron talks about the integrity of the single market, these are trade negotiations. this is not... i am going to deny that they were ever theological... but his is being treated as sacred text. what about the integrity of the democratic state? that's what's being put forward. now you are really going back in history... to the 18th century. absolutely. back to 1992 and the maastricht negotiations. the last british prime minister who was so abused by his own party was john major who kept britain out of the euro. the eu, at that time, they made genuine concessions, we got out of the social chapter, but they are not negotiating now. i bet you and i probably agree on much of the mistakes the british side has made. a full year of david davis going to meetings with nothing in his briefcase is not negotiating. chequers was presented in late july, boris johnson left and since then, he has called it a suicide vest. now, that's humiliating. let's just go through the history of this week. no, let's not. here is the specifics, the most specific thing that was said by any senior t

emmanuel macron says he would welcome the u.k. back to the eu with open arms. >> are very special relationship for france and the u.k. italy tested. the city dell ceo says eu debt is his biggest worry. >> i would say is there a question we are more concerned about, it is a crisis in continental europe where because of the nature of the euro and the inability of countries to print their own currency, there can be a crisis which is too big for government as we think of it to solve. that is frightening. manus: welcome to the show. president trump making a lot of comments. we just heard the reaction to the fed. the was president accused beijing of interfering with 2018 midterm elections in retaliation for the bilateral trade war. >> earlier today and just now you made allegations against the chinese government. you suggest the chinese are meddling in -- pres. trump: that's what i hear. >> what evidence do you have? pres. trump: i cannot tell you now, but it did not come out of nowhere. they have actually admitted they are going after

french president macron possibly to last year reverberated around the world. heiking a blow for europe as defy the rising tide of nationalism in so many countries. string of setbacks, some self-imposed over the last few months. economic growth has slowed and unemployment has barely budged, and anti-european sentiment is growing. >> calling it macron's monumental challenge. onis taking his credibility parliamentary elections and is aiming to show the magic is not gone for good. he had staked his future on being this leader in europe to try to net the countries of the euro together and he had several proposals he sketched out in broad strokes. now those seem at risk because of the loss of political capital at home. >> how much of this is an own goal? how much of this is on him and how much of it is forces beyond his control? >> he has not helped himself. >> 60%? >> he called himself jupiter at one point. the king of gods. he has spent the last year trying to walk that back. idea that, i'm going to stun the world with the majesty of french power and the majesty o

the course said he was venting and going off about trading to macron. the source said there was some rapport between the two but it's not what it once was. so michelle, to you. what happened? >> some of the magic is gone here. but this has come to be expected among u.s. allies, that trump gets into these one-on-one meetings where they can be more themselves, not putting on a display, a show. but trump starts to hammer him on trade. he did with this angela merkel. we know that trump and macron have this rapport, where ma crone stands up to him at times but gives him the firm and shake. even then behind closed doors trump starts this talking point, this rift on how in his mind the u.s., as he puts it, is worse than china on trade. it's something he's said before. but it makes for this uncomfortable meeting -- >> does it have anything to do with the iran nuclear deal? >> they have this history of macron feeling he can be a hero and have a good relationship with trump and maybe save the iran nuclear deal at one point. that didn't happen. also, he's trying t

respect her more and there was some quite disrespectful language from eu leaders yesterday, emmanuel macron talked about the liars who had bought the brexit campaign, donald tusk and the eu council president, he's posted and instagram picture of some cakes and said no cherry picking. it was just all kind of slightly odd behaviour from yesterday. it led to a slightly odd feeling at the end of the summit. she's sort of came back and said the two sides need to treat each other with respect and she came out think very clearly there are two areas we really are very far apart still and that's with a lot of people today. it's interesting to see how the front pages have dealt with this story because in its substance that is not good news for theresa may. she did not succeed in the way she hoped to installs birgit. yet, by taking the initiative today certainly on the pr front with her statement, she's ended up with some very positive front pages. things are much more complex when you read between the lines and when you read into the papers. but, the tone of some of the front pages is quite extraordi

as you say, she has had a tough year and a half, she lost the election of course against macron after a pitiful performance in the second round of the elections, then there have been these judicial problems, money problems, the defection of her very important number two, florian fillipo, so people have been tending to say it is all a bit of a bust and flush but i have to say there is a sense that the hard right in the form of marine le pen is very much back. this was the opening salvo in a period leading to the european elections in which we will see a lot of her and a lot of the confidence she used to have back in action. largely, down to the opinion polls. the opinion poll, a very important one last week, showed that in voting intentions for next year's european elections in may, she and her party, the national rally, are now neck and neck with emmanuel macron's party. this is crucial and very interesting because it shows that the traditional parties, the moderate right and left are still not resurrecting themselves from the ashes of the debacle in the presidential election and stil

all right making waves emmanuel macron perhaps europe's most dynamic political leader. former banker turned french president who so far had a pretty cordial with president trump took the stage to announce, it's big deal, france will no longer sign trade agreements with any country that does not, quote, respect the paris climate accord. of course, you may remember the united states pulled out in 2017 and is the only country to have exited the accord so far. the french president has pushed for france to become the start-up gateway of europe as well so he appointed our next guest global ambassador for french technology to help him get there john chambers, author of the book connecting the dots, mind set for leadership success, former chairman and ceo of cisco but he's in it to win it, not any former anything on the set, my good friend john chambers. >> pleasure to be with you. liz: i want to point to emmanuel macron, almost like he's pulling out a page of president trump's book, you have written this book about leadership, that's an interesting leadership move, is it not?

that was a severe blow to manual macron and the government. had promisedsident that -- woull be replaced. laura fletcher also decided too1 resign yesterday. she has been replaced as well. a very small reshuffle. some observers were saying that potentially reshuffle would b wider. that this opportunity would be used to get id of some ministers who are not doing so well in the polls. that has not happened. emmanuel acron's message today is that the government is back at work. eveeything is normal. the fiasco is behind everrone. right now the president is in the elyseesar palace right behind me talking to all these ministers in order to ive them ccear directions for the three to five months to come. they're talkingng about how to t because there is also the affair that the french have not yet% forgotten and indeed the idea is now to move forward having not changed the government that much. basically what they are trying to posit is continuity and a government at work. >> that's where we leave it for now. ttank yoo. quick reminder of the top stori

macron: we must defend the single market commits coherence, and we have reaffirmed our desire not to give up on this matter. this is in our short, medium, and long-term interests. it is a vital political and economic interest for the european union in this regard. we are today at an hour of truth. reporter: and the truth can hurtful to how much we will know at the next eu summit -- and the truth can hurtful to how much we will know at the next you summit in october. brent: max hofmann is covering the summit. eu leaders are clearly unaddressed by the british prime minister. the eu leaders talked about compromise. theresa may kept talking about europe needing to evolve on brexit. does that mean the ability to reach a deal is now dead? max: the ability to reach a deal is not dead, because we are not at the stage yet where both parties really have to give something up. what theresa may did here, she presented the so-called checkers plan, a that has been on the table since july. for the first time now, officially presenting it so the other leaders of the european union were not necessaril

as the rise of the rights and issues of immigration have changed the landscape in which merkel and macron are dealing and we can now see the outlines of the deal, and they are not going to lead the irish border which all involves ten or 12 million of the 500 million people in the european union. they are not going to let this founder over that. they will come up with some sort of fudge which may be amended in time. we have ten weeks to go. who was it who said nothing concentrates the mind as a much as the prospect of being hanged in the morning? terrible, we agreed for the first time. i think the term fudge is probably the operative word here. what is going to happen potentially is that i do not think there will be this amazing deal ever was very happy with nor a deal which the british or the eu will be unhappy with. i think what is likely is that particularly on the irish border because it will be too awkward if not resolved in time there will be a fudge because there is this period after brexit, a moratorium where things can be retroactively edgier do they do not work. even although the

apparently the trump-macron meeting hit cough patches and a senior official said trump was venting and ranting about trade. the report said there was some rapport between the two but it wasn't what it was. so what gives? >> well, there should be no surprise here. the early relationships that the president said were terrific and were among the best with macron, who i think had one of the first state dinners. >> he went to france -- >> he wanted to do the parade, the whole thing. of course it is macron who has turned out to be the biggest advocate of sticking with the iran nuclear deal. one of the fascinating elements of today's security council session, which the president presided over, was they ran into one member of the security council after another who were singing the praises of keeping iran inside the deal right after the president had said it was so horrible that he saved the world by exiting him. so the security council meeting became the sort of poster child for the divisions that the iranians are trying to exploit. i was at a session with a number of think tankers and journal

macron wants to abolish employee contributions and overtime. any state money he wants to cap the rise of benefits to 0.3%, not below the inflation, expected to be at 1.4%. he wants to cut as many as 4500 public sector jobs for next year. that's not really going to help his popularity, it has slipped about 10 points already over the summer. he is being dubbed the president of the rich. if you look at the latest poll over the weekend, 29% of the french are satisfied. >> well, obviously, he has quite an agenda, and that's not going down well in the polls. caroline, the italian budget is also being presented later this week. how can france and italy keep eu deficit target and reforms? heard is very confusing. on one side, you have a few -- they are happy to let the deficit goal of 2% from next year, if it is needed, to include the well-being of the italians. they want to introduce a a sick universal in -- a basic universal income, a measure of the five-star movement. they also want to lower the retirement age and it just taxes. but that is not goin

and this can lead as we have seen twice to global war. >> explain to me, do you think macron is being strong enough and the others in trying to keep the multilateral post war order in place and what happens in your worst nightmare if quote we lose europe? >> well, i think macron is exactly right and i must say i find with talking with europeans that of course that history is much more real and alive for them than it is for americans who i think don't even think about what may have happened in two world wars. what the europeans can do about it, at this point, there is no way to affect donald trump's behavior, he is not someone that you can befriend or someone that you can convince you are on his side. he looks at things in a narrow perspective. what europe has to do is pull themselves together and support democratic values and wait for the united states to get out of this funk if the united states is going to get out of it. i wish i were more optimistic that europe could do that. just in a time when europe is moving in the opposite direction. it is a concerning situation. you know, i t

there are understandings that president macrone was highlighting yesterday was fundamental. it was president macron today at the session that raised the issue of russia's poisoning t u.k. the international allies of the united states are picking up on the areas that president trump, they feel, is failing to deal with. this is a gap in understanding. it under mines the united states' leadership that diplomats and presidents of the united statesp have spent decades fostering, nurturing, helping grow. we are in a changing dynamic right now. >> changing dynamic. such a new dynamic to watch. rudy giuliani's role in talks with the special counsel may not be as big as you think. that is next. my mom washes the dishes... ...before she puts them in the dishwasher. so what does the dishwasher do? new cascade platinum does the work for you, prewashing and removing stuck-on foods, the first time. wow, that's clean! new cascade platinum. are you one sneeze away from being voted out of the carpool? try zyrtec®. it's starts working hard at hour one. and works twice as hard when you take i

i want to thank prime minister may and president macron for their country's close partnership in those efforts last april. the syrian regime's butchery is enabled by russia and iran. the iranian regime exports violence, terror and turmoil. it procures sensitive items to advance its ballistic missile program and prolif rates the missiles all across the middle east. the regime is the world's leading sponsor of terror and fuels conflict across the region and far beyond. a regime with this track record must never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon. for this reason, i announced earlier this year that the united states would withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. this horrible one sided deal allowed iran to continue its path towards a bomb and gave the regime a cash life line when they needed it the most. they were in big, big trouble. they needed cash. we gave it to them. in the years since the deal was signed iran's aggression only increased. the regime used new funds from the deal to support terrorism, build nuclear capable missiles and foment chaos. following america's withdrawal the u

michel barnier himself hopes to replace presidentjuncker because macron once the danish commissioner. he wants to come out of history as the man who sold brexit. so rejoice, rejoice rejoice. i don't think so. i do not work for the independent. i work for the i newspaper. i have been reading some of the commentaries since all of this jar in the markets and there are quite a lot of serious voices saying he did not mean in the sense that it was taken that it will all be exactly what we want. the irish question remains very strong. i think one of the french ministers said britain is not going to be able to be able to pick the best choice bets and no immigration but yes to free trade. it is not what was made out. you saw the cold water coming down very quickly. you are all doom and gloom, let's be optimistic. the agreement is in the interests of both parties to reach it. there will be people tweeting this programme already saying we have been saying that for more than a year while you sit to discuss it. john, your take on it. i think the most significant thing around this table is that mar
