Of the i said from the apollo 11 mission. Get up its 50th anniversary. Hello im Christine Wendell welcome to the program. We begin in france where president emmanuel chrono showcased europes defense capabilities by putting European Military cooperation at the heart of this years best day parade it comes at a time of growing tensions with the united states. Including german chancellor Angela Merkel joined mccrone to watch the annual parade down the seans in the say that marks the anniversary of the beginning of the french revolution. For more on that we are joined now by d. J. s correspondent lisa lewis who is in paris good to see it nice to see you attend of the parade a little bit talk to us about the highlights off this years parade. Well the fame of this years parade was obviously European Corporations so you could see soldiers from other countries than france from germany from spain you could see planes from these countries because all these countries 9 countries apart from france actually belong to that europe interventionist that president in mind and i call launched about a year ago he wants to create a common strategic approach when it comes to warfare hes obviously using todays best the day parade because he invited leaders and members of the government for the 9 countries he wants to show that European Corporation is really strong obviously this comes comes few months after a few weeks after the european elections where. Party did really well and also just as shortly after the e. U. Nominated candidates for its top jobs and this was seen largely as a success for my cause so he is using this occasion to depict himself as a strong leader in europe if not the leader in europe right speaking of another leader in europe may say if i may german chancellor Angela Merkel is there she just spoke and gave a statement what did she say. Well she gave a statement here the German Embassy just a short while ago which is very short actually just said im very happy to be here this is a sign that we really are very well a corporation on franco germany level but also on a european level when it comes to defense now this is all very nice and well however it wont be that easy if you look at the difference of teaching approaches and when it comes to warfare actually france and germany have really different trains so france hopes to use this initiative to launch common interventions however the germans really think that this should only be a platform really to cooperate spoke to each other when it comes to existing interventions so theres really a gap in how they view the military approach and it remains to be seen to what extent they will be able to corporation such a platform. Ok so my last one to you so before this president announced the creation of a space commodity is this in response to what we heard from the u. S. President donald trump last year of a u. S. Space. Well obviously yes this and also the European Initiative intervention and his initiative is a response to how the u. S. Is behaving in the past at your would rather be more closer closer to nature which obviously includes the u. S. As a member and now theyre saying our initiative and also the Space Initiative front the Space Initiative is seen as a parallel structure so imagine my call once just once to show that europe and france can stand on their own feet when it comes to defense or at that stage any is is who is outside the German Embassy in paris thank you. And after. The sudan rocked by anger again tens of thousands flooding lish streets once more chanting singing and demanding justice for those killed fighting for democracy blood for blood greed this sign. I say to those who arent here today you are not a free and honorable sudanese. This too was a timely and noisy reminder to saddams military council that the masses of all ages will mobilize after months Long Campaign for people power is ignored. We came here to be heard and to salute the memory of our martyrs they will not be forgotten they are still with us in the sudanese revolution and we are carrying on until our demands are met with a look at them again. In a quieter corner of the capital negotiators were trying to broker an agreement between the military and protest leaders. But plans to sign a hard fought deal were delayed for another day when perhaps once and for all those killed may yet get justice and sudan may yet get free elections. We apologize for that era and thats happening with the news there is that weve heard now from an African Union diplomat a long delayed power sharing deal between sedans military leaders and civilian groups could be signed as soon as today. Now to some of the other stories making news around the world torrential rains fashion many areas in Southern China on saturday with many urban areas hit by severe flash floods the deepest forces reach 2 and a half meters hundreds of people have been evacuated Emergency Services are searching for people stranded by the floods.

The British Government tests it an oil tanker loaded with iranian oil could be released if tehran guarantees it will not be sent to syria the grace one was seized by British Royal marines in the mediterranean earlier this month on suspicion of violating e. U. Sanctions. The European Council president donald tusk has criticised russias decision to ban flights to georgia amid increasing tensions between the 2 neighbors now during a visit to georgia on thursday to pledged e. U. Support for the country georgia has seen weeks of protests against russian president Vladimir Putin and has continued and the continued presence off Russian Troops in 2 breakaway regions thats south. And of. Russia and Georgia Force a brief war in 2008 and since then diplomatic ties have been civet now in addition to the flight back and some russian lawmakers scored for the banning off georgian products the idea hasnt gone down well with ordinary people in the russian capital. A little slice of georgia in the heart of moscow a restaurant and the biggest wine shop in the russian capital in russia georgian wine is much loved to do to just barely people love georgian wine because of warm neighborly relations that emerge around the table because just i mean. There are more than a dozen georgian restaurants in moscow nowadays socket r. V. And pillows mommy form an essential part of every wine list there but this week georgian wine turned into a hot political issue in the Russian Parliament the reason a georgian journalist scolded russian president Vladimir Putin on Georgian Television so lawmakers started to discuss banning georgian wine again as they have in the past along with mineral water that showed him that its all temporary i think that in the making some noise now i will stop soon but its down from them what it was and its funny its all politics you know people are not a part of it i still love georgia and russia equally yes and i have no one things for sure arguments confrontations and scolding wont lead to anything. We need to learn how to live peacefully and agree with each other. People on the streets are worried about ties between 2 countries but president putin has already come out against wind sanctions and this georgian restaurant no one talks politics they hope that relations will warm again and that georgian wine will never disappear from their wine list in the meantime all the tables are still reserved. To me a simple spoke with georgian president and. We also heard about the countrys 15 year long efforts to join the European Union. So there has been the 1st slow and then accelerated movement but a Steady Movement towards European Union that doesnt mean that we do not have challenges that we have had many challenges we have had the. Frozen conflicts and weve had the war in 2008 we have 20 percent of the territory that is ok and we have. The patients that is a constant problem and tension we have had the recent tensions. With russia a bit in the way. Minimizing say that we are used to that and that has never proved to be a deterrent for georgia to continue moving on its past towards the European Union because again thats not only a perspective but thats something that is very in the hair and to the georgian nature the culture history georgia feels itself european so its only going where he sees it should go to russian government because very concerned about the surfeit of the russian citizens recently the government becomes talk and so on that even stop the flights. Would take everything gets a face value weve had since the war and thats very interesting and its something that maybe we have not and theyre lying to us weve had to last year i think 1700000 russian tourists in georgia and the war was in 2008 so its very recent and we have an occupation line at 40 kilometers from the police see despite that there has not been a single incident involving any russian tourists in georgia on the country i think that the reaction of the russian population was that they wanted to continue to come to georgia and in a way im sure that they will come back to georgia because drug. The hospitality is for everyone we as a georgia are a country of exceptional stability in this region that is not a motive in why the region where there are many issues we step beauty between 20 and stability despite everything so i think that we need from our big neighbor is more respect for the stability and thats the message a signal that all partners should be carrying to russia when theyre talking and discussing about the regional issues. That was georgian president settlements that are basically speaking. To me as simple.
