becoming irrelevant germany losing its power its what's we're likely to see is france and germany will switch places compared to where they were 5 or 10 years ago for example with france was seen as the problem child in europe the sort of the not very helpful partner who always made grandiose claims and graduate promises and never really delivered in german these case right now it's the one to most awful economies in europe if not the most powerful so that's won't go away unless germany somehow fulls into a recession in the coming year or 2 or the pending on how it becomes next chance for example if it because if it's aka it's likely that germany is going to loose lucky more presence and primarily for the fact that a cut tends to have lots of bits of agreement to president michel and may end up following in supporting his plans how ever i just want to go back to the point on the green party becoming more powerful it's true that i think that the green party is the single highest bowling party in germany right now if it wasn't for the city to say yes to a coalition that's happened that t

the leaders of russia ukraine france and germany with the normandy 4 summit in full swing the group hopes to agree a road map to peace in eastern ukraine. hi there good evening and thanks for joining us here on r.t. international. rusher is being kicked out of all international sporting events for the next 4 years punishment so says the world anti-doping agency for moscow tampering with a key database of test results from russian athletes duplicate was that water press conference in those up. what are officials announcing a unilateral decision over a 4 year ban on russia taking part in major sporting events during that period meaning that russian athletes won't be able to compete and the ban over russia nor will they be able to fly the russian flag at those major events those major events could include tokyo 2020 and also the world athletics championships is also suggestion that this could impact the football world cup in 2022 now those sanctions go much further than that it means that russia won't be able to host nor be able to bid for any major sporting events during that 4 year period

but many from france, many from germany, many from u.k. mostly from europe. and some of the countries are agreeing -- i have not spoken to the president about that. would you like some nice isis fighters? i can give them to you. you can take everyone you want. president macron: thereto a lot of number of fighters. isis fighters coming from syria, iraq. it's true you have foreign fighters coming from europe. it's the problem we have in the region. i think number one priority, because it's not finished. is to get rid of isis. this is our number one priority. in ou see that fighters syria and now iraq. and more and more. make the situation more difficult to fix the situation against isis. second, some of this foreign --ghters are being in iraq [inaudible] for children and we will have -- but for me the very first objective is to finish war against isis. don't make any mistake. number one problem with the foreign fighters. it's the isis fighters. more and more fighters due to the situation today. president trump: this is why he's a great politician. that was one

and france the swap is taking place at a checkpoint in the separatist wrong hold of done netsky. forces as separatists have been fighting in eastern ukraine since 2014 the conflict has claimed more than 13000 lives. russia and ukraine swap prisoners last september raising hopes of a wider settlement but fighting continues despite a cease fire agreement. a major prisoner exchange with russia i'm pro russian separatists in september it broke inmates harm and fostered hundreds of the war nice to meet crime could soon be ending it was an early victory for ukraine's new president followed him is a lengthy. middle morally we have agreed the 1st step to one block dialogue or not it is returning our soldier was probably a little prisoner's. to more than 5 years the ukrainian army has been fighting russian back separatists in the country's aced doors cost around 14000 lives and turned a keen duster region into a conflict saw in. efforts to stop the fighting have come to little when zelinsky was elected in i pro he promised to restart the peace process that culminated in a meeting this mon

germany, france, are they going to start helping us on china and iran? the three countries, germany, france and britain are colluding with other countries to get around u.s. sanctions on iran. so you know, they can spend all they want. if they're terrible on china and iran, you wonder what the point is. >> neil: that's my point. if you're going to argue about how embarrassing it is for our friends to be called on the spot for not paying their fair share and then have the nerve to lecture him on how he's handling isis, that is taking leaps that no matter what you feel are hypocritical. >> right. one thing that trump has done, he has pointed out these are extremely scripted, boring events. especially if g-7 and g-8. you have bureaucrats that travel around the world ahead of time to work out statements that nobody reads that is pointless. trump has done away with it. now there's a reason for leader to be there because things actually happen. it will be interesting to see how it manifests itself. >> neil: did he not see -- when you're the french leader and s

france in this in this effort and so when he's in paris today he's with 2 allies and 2 partners and so he's certainly not alone but i have to give him a lot of credit for stepping up to try to move this process forward that's been stuck for 6 years i mean he definitely is ambitious despite the fact that the sitting across the table from. a very experienced politician vladimir putin does that make the the german chancellor and the french president here even more important to peace in eastern ukraine without microland and merkel is that even thinking. well i think certainly those 2 are critical to moving this process forward and the fact that even as we speak the e.u. is adding and moving forward on additional sanctions of course comes with the blessing of both paris and berlin is incredibly important and those 2 leaders know full well who is responsible for where we are today for the $10000.00 plus ukrainians have been killed the millions that have been displace the blame lies squarely with moscow with mr putin and so i think everybody is going into these negotiations with eyes wide

but many from france, many from germany, many from u.k. they're mostly from europe. and some of the countries are agreeing -- i have not spoken to the president about that. would you like some nice isis fighters? i can give them to you. you can take every one you want. president macron: there are a lot of number of fighters on the ground. isis fighters coming from syria, from iraq and the region. it's true you have foreign fighters coming from europe. it's the problem we have in the region. i think number one priority, because it's not finished. is to get rid of isis. this is our number one priority. and it's not a dance. i'm sorry to say that. you see that fighters in syria and now iraq. and more and more. thewhole situation of region makes the situation more difficult to fix the situation against isis. second, some of these foreign being kept in iraq the -- of [indiscernible] and we will have approach.case we will have a approach for children, and we will have a approach.se but for me the very first objective in the region is to finish war against isis. don't make

we know that its president met this evening with the leaders of britain, germany, france, and downing street for a summit about turkey's military intervention in northern syria. has there been any result from them? max: turkey at least has a very different approach to doing things, and that, by the way, is one of the reasons emmanuel macron says they do not necessarily have the same foundations anymore, if they cannot even agree on what is and is not a terrorist. so your definition of a black sheep would probably be shared by some of those nato member states, and that's why a lot of people were anticipating this meeting that took place in london today between emmanuel macron, the french president, boris johnson, the u.k. prime minister, the german chancellor, angela merkel, and also president erdogan of turkey. when merkel came out of the meeting, she was very angela merkel, saying this was a good start, a good meeting. they talked about the so-called -- fighting the so-called islamic state and working together with the united nations to take care of refugees in the area and that furt

it is germany, france and spain's interests that there is a trade deal. this is about both sides doing it so i'm very confident there will be a form of trade deal. i was trade minister, i used to do this for a living and trade deals can be done quite quickly and it's alarmist to say it can't be but just quickly and it's alarmist to say it can't be butjust one last point, the telegraph, he is saying they are going to create some more peers, some more house going to create some more peers, some more house of going to create some more peers, some more house of lords members who will be experts in working peers and bring their expertise to get this done as quickly as possible. it doesn't even use the words word stacking, it is shake up the house of lords but the purpose is to get as much talent in. i want to come to you rachel but what is the quickest you've ever done a trade deal? some are done very quickly because it's ona are done very quickly because it's on a specific subject. i remember doing one on pork wallets with china and it took weeks, i'm not bei

germany is at fault. germany is the aggressor. britain and france are defending the victim. so we don't actually feel neutral about that. these two sides are not the same. there is a significant difference here. once it was an actual war instead of a theoretical war, american opinion shifted a little bit. they still don't want to be involved in the war. they still want to avoid most of the mistakes that took place in the first world war. but they are not completely neutral. not really. they favor britain and france. they oppose nazi germany. but they don't want to fight. they don't want to be actively involved in the war. in fact, opposition to becoming actively involved in the war grew after the war began. if you look at the interviewing dates for this poll, august 30. a couple days before the war actually began. a lot of people saw it coming. carrying on for the first few days of the war in europe. when asked if the united states should send an army to fight, 84% said no. that is overwhelmingly against fighting. look what happens weeks later. 95%. americans did not want to
