I think the project of the Founding Fathers of the e. U. Are very meant for us to live in peace. With one that youve got a bit of most of us doing before sentries for millenia if it were to humans in the middle ages and later weve always had had jim oneill aspirations in here up will be a thought and we have created a strategy that has enabled us to live together without any had to money or power as without hate in the need of large nations the smaller ones yes but we cannot say theres one dominant power of the runoff i think thats important there has never been a federal chancellor that led the way for the rest or french president that is important that is in the d. N. A. Off the field it is not a hedge ammonia project you know and this is a treasure weve created lets not forget that this is why weve lived such a long time in the peace and prosperity all continent has always gone through wards but for the last 70 years we have lived in peace. I do not want to lead of chancellor merkel and i do not want to be led by. It is at odds with the basic idea that is behind europe. But i do know one thing. That what is the Franco German couple is a few years old and the imposition of year of marriage is not sufficient. To move on is it going to be like that from a historical point of view demographic point of view Strategic Point of view it works well. But front when france and germany agree its not enough in order to set in motion a Dynamic Development but if we disagree it can block everything in the review so what i want to achieve is there us to go on with your little maintaining our unity between france and germany and that will enable us to make progress and to go forward with more a vision with more speed i think that is the key if you want to face up to the challenges of the future i know that chancellor merkel is aware of that and we keep talking about it. It will be good but we respect each other and we cooperate each other that is very important. To him it was about as you can see i have a certain position but now were talking about bricks it a europe of 27 nations. The united kingdom. But lets try and be serious. And better eckel once said a good sentence he says the language of europe is translation. And its true. That you know what even when it comes to strategic aspects defense aspects it doesnt this is no problem of the country. Every country has its own ideas all. We have to do is esperanto a language for all of us its english and it works fine for the working level and thats what we do but i think it is a good thing to have this diversity of language. Because i dont think theres one language that should be dominant. And that enables us to protect our differences still a. Lot of it but its not necessarily the same culture of that we dont have the same opinion about everything not the terms are not always the same. When it comes to long. Enough but on certain aspects we have our languages we try to Work Together and we explain what we want this is how it works. We should leave all the european languages of the movie you know but the spirit of responsibility for the world. Of your movies and the awareness that we need to move forward faster that we need to be far sighted this is what i mean. Thats the slope. Of the at. Youve just been listening to the french president. He was having a conversation there with the chairman of the Munich Security Conference. And they covered a wide range of issues including what considers to be a new weakness of the west despite protestations from various u. S. Officials attending this Conference Call making a very emphatic point that europe is in fact alone in this game right now unless United States decides to come in from the cold as it were welcome back to you chief Political Editor michelle who is in munich at the security conference and here in the studio. Political correspondent emmanuelle manual i think im going to start with you cause said that the west is weakening this is as i mentioned before a direct contradiction to what the secretary of state of the United States had to say might pump a oh. What is the crisis facing europe according to medical well from the get go he acknowledged. That you are a hard weekend indeed and he say that europe needed a new strategic and needed to rethink its strategic many times she actually pointed out that europe couldnt solely depend on its alliance with the u. S. So thats another occurrence of micro want to wanting to move away from dot us alliance and he say that europe needed to find a way to agree on how to do is extend a conflict to mention syria he mentioned it leaves he suggested that the security a Security Council in europe should to me to recognise the an important point when he suggested that would be that the u. K. Do knighted kingdom should be part of those discussions even if the u. K. And left the European Union in fact. Wants europe to have enough leverage to ask as a sovereign entity and not on the as a Single Market entity i think thats whats really came out of this speech he used the term an hour of truth its a european. Its hour of truth now he wants europe to be faster to me decisions he has to say that europe is a continent that stopped believing in its future here addressed a problem of the rise of populism and he addressed the fact that people simply stopped believing in European Values so of course thats the bone of contention with germany he talks about the idea of a common budget on a was a strong one budget with us so would europe also be able to have the financial means of its Political Action he wants more european initiatives he wants an increase of cooperation in the Defense Department so as to increase the power of interventionism by iraq lots of work to do in fact theres some people who could argue these were rather dire he was painting a rather dire picture but lets listen to what the french president had to say about where europe will be in the next 10 years the you know i have in mind is here and that is sulfur and united under law that take an act such and in 10 years time id like to see europe that has enough leverage to celebrate when it comes to policy is to acknowledge the migration that defends feeding the world also in terms of climate protection Environmental Protection and a europe which is relations with its neighbors russia and africa the middle east and. Men wrote the court wants to see a more integrated and credible europe whats exactly his strategy well he was. Trying to. The 27 states that are already in europe he stated quite clearly quite clearly that it wouldnt be consistent to accept new members right now as the members already existing cannot agree with each other at the moment so he wants to implement a common Foreign Policy that is paramount for him hence the Security Council that should a regularly meteo so those diverging views within the European Union 2. 00 to 5. 00 that people are losing faith in the European Union he really highlighted to 5 that devalues within the European Union have changed from one state to the next and thats so as to thrive so as to try of europe should actually find some Common Ground some Common Ground he said the European Union is a large markets and that keeps sense expanding but its not a political power and thats what hes aiming out its not a political power exactly. Mccaw says that the e. U. Needs to wake up to put more money on the table if it doesnt want to fall behind the United States and china especially in future technology this seems to be a key talking point at the conference. Is absolutely in fact the United States would agree with this tails into what is considered to be the west we still might pump a oh say that the west is winning i dare say be very hard to find anyone who agrees with him here that make security conference of almost 50 years has accounted and the elephant in the room that really is china and boy which ponce the company qua way will be allowed to play in building that vital g 5 infrastructure amongst us allies particularly in europe and their call would of course like to see more European Authority more also Strategic Thinking going into this its very rad that you see if european leaders actually spelled out differences between Europe Europes vision of society and the United States because in these difficult times both sides are so eager to stress what they have in common but he did say that things arent as they were in Transatlantic Relations and that there are different societies particules so when it comes to the idea of social welfare the off fundamental differences between the 2 and that see this as just one of the reasons why europe would need to be able to defend itself to defend its own values while remaining close with the United States i want to ask you 11 more question i mean metaphorically i felt like i was watching a tennis match or going back and forth between the west in europe in the west on the north america what is the vibe in that room at the conference between the polar opposite positions of the United States and the kind of talk that we just heard from the man youre on that paul the u. S. Came out with guns blazing i will repeat that series. For the u. S. Particular. With guns blazing to whats china what we heard mark s. The saying that he doesnt seek any kind of confrontation with china but that to spell out exactly the kind of confrontation that the u. S. Clearly already sees taking place in this goes from economic interests chinese interference also name to that new technology now this is a risk that manama calls a touched on this europe is also very much aware of but is reluctant to see the full alternative to be embraced by its much larger Strategic Partner the United States and how to go forwards these are competitions of systems particularly namely democracy with the moral sort of thora tearing rule that we see in china i think of us imports as you put it is a finger on it yesterday when he said well the the difficulty right now is that the chinese system also managed to deliver wealth that something only the kind of liberal interpretation democratic societies were able to offer in the past and this is where europe is that of a gating where it stands and particularly french presence of i call season self at the helm of seeking more european sovereignty in close cooperation with the United States but also being more aware of its own unique selling point to its own citizens so i think were seeing a very interesting positioning and also going into a lot of detail that actually goes beyond the whole question of security. Chief Political Editor there in munich for us at the conference and of course the mineral sheds here in the studio with me thank you so much for your cooperation during this very hong conference but incredibly edifying one lets continue with the other stories making news around the world today the u. S. Is raising tariffs on.

Sound since of farmers have been staging mass protests in spain against what they say is a crisis in the Agricultural Sector farmers claim supermarkets have kept prices too low to cover the cost of production spain is 1. 00 of western europes biggest agricultural producers. Now u. S. Defense secretary mark asper has justified diverting nearly 4000000000. 00 from other programs to fund a border wall with mexico President Donald Trump says around 200 kilometers of the border fence have been finished the president ignored criticism of the shift in funds and talked instead about how much was being built as well as making claims about people trying and failing to climb it. Went to arizona where construction is in full swing cutting through conservation areas and heritage sites. 9 meters tall a rusty mix of steel pillars and concrete transport a wall is growing longer in arizonas pipe national monument. A heartbreaking scene for conservationist kevin dahl hes worked along the Us Mexico Border for years and he recalls when the border it was little more than a symbolic maka this vehicle very was here was just an old cow fence with 3 strands of barbed wire a park Service Friends would say they call it to this restaurant across the street order their lunch and theyd meet them at the fence and get their lunch rules protecting historical and cultural sites were waved to build the wall now there is nothing to stop contractors destroying the parks history you can see that theyre using a steamroller to compress this 60 foot swath and theyre doing it right next to cuba hugo springs this desert oasis where people have lived for millennia and now its protected by the park service except they are destroying an archaeological site by doing this right here we know this is an archaeological site there are people buried there. Dolphin is the wolf solid nature could also hurt the regions unique does that wildlife. Desert animals have to roam far to get water and the flow of genes the interaction between the animals which is really important to keeping a healthy population welcome to be completely stopped at this wall. Right rather encroaching as you county residents have organized and you will protest kevin dahl is among the demonstrators activists have held regular protests and say whoa construction has gone ahead without a local engagement lake and joe doll has been campaigning for months. So the trumpet ministration has pulled out all the stops in order to build this wall they have waved more than 41. 00 and byron mental culture resource Protection Laws all of the laws that would normally have been cast aside for this project and now trump has stolen billions of dollars from the military in order to build these walls its actually quite easy to climb over shimmied up those behinds myself lots of videos have come out of people climbing over these walls proponents say the war will stop Illegal Immigrants and drugs but the price is steep and estimated 12000000. 00 per kilometer were not at war with mexico theyre a valued trading partner and here at the border were very friendly with mexico we have a we know people who have family on both sides drug cartels know how to kill under through and on top of walls theyve done it forever. People who want to work theyre going to get here and if its not through this desert its going to be through the ports of entry. Despite demonstrations and feel irreversible ecological and cultural damage Major Campaign promises taking shape still visits the border but its rapidly changing from the dynamic area he remembers the building a quick moment is omnipresent and shows no sign of falling silent. 15 children have died in a fire at an orphanage in haiti the home outside the capital Port Au Prince was run by a u. S. Based Nonprofit GroupAuthorities Say the blaze may have been started by candles used during one of haitis frequent blackouts. Shock and sorrow outside the building that was home to more than 60 children half of the victims were babies or toddlers. Ready to go so i work here is a teacher im here to help the children im like a father to them general what happened there was nothing i could do for you when i arrived i saw the 15 corpses. Rescue workers said they could have saved more lives but lacked bottled oxygen and the ambulances needed to transport all of the injured children to a hospital. Couldnt get to the top floor we could take some children who were conscious to hospital unfortunately some of them couldnt get the treatment they needed. The home was run by a u. S. Based nonprofit religious group that lost its operating license because of unsanitary and overcrowded conditions and insufficiently trained staff but in this desperately poor country there are hundreds of such care centers for children placed there by parents too destitute to support them. To sports now and european soccers governing body has shown a red card if you will to english side Manchester City for the next 2 years thats because of quote serious financial fair play bridges Manchester City says it will appeal the decision. Man city has won 4 premier League Titles since 2012 including the last 2 but now the fireworks could come to an abrupt in your weight this imposition of a 2 year ban on European Competition along with a hefty fine of 30000000. 00 euros is the most severe it is handed down since financial fair play regulations were created simply put clubs cant spend too much more than they earn the cost controls were put in place in 2011 to lessen the growing gap between rich clubs and poor ones and to manage the growing debt crisis man city owned by shaykh monsoor a member of the abu dhabi royal family has been foul of f f p regulations in the past the club was fined 60000000 euros and have their Champions League squad reduced in 2014 following its investigation you wait for a rule that man city overstated its sponsorship revenue in its account submitted to the body between 20122016 city plan to appeal the ban as soon as possible with the court of arbitration for sport and potentially making things worse city could yet face additional punishment in a whit where their financial dealings are still being investigated by the premier league. Joining me in the studio is Chris Harrington fendi sports because hes a big deal i mean his band man city what evidence does the governing body have against the will of thats a Silver Lining that could actually benefit man city because the evidence as ive gathered our leaked documents you know they were obtained illegally and in a court of law that could become problematic you know and one point nancy try to stop this investigation before it was concluded and the court of arbitration for sport said wait a minute we cant do that we have to let the conclusion the investigation run its course then after you know we can address the proper appeals process but they did mention this that you know. They mention the fact that that these internal documents in no way have been directly linked to you a fool or any you a few officials could be worrisome in their case and actually benefit man city you know but obviously theres a long story you know and even if the appeal process happens to continue over before the next Champions League season starts man city will be allowed to participate in that one even prolonging this potential ban but all that all the evidence you know might be a little bit shaky well i have another question for you but just to a 2 2nd answer on this quick one are you saying theres a possibility that man city could get off on a technicality definitely that is a possibility although it might be slightly ok could this affect Manchester City as a powerhouse yes well you know the charges f f p financial fair play well the p. P. P. The 3 p. s are the ways it could affect man city precedes youre not allowed to play in the europeans top tier competition obviously Everyone Wants to participate in that profit every club stands to earn 100000000 euros participating in the Champions League scratch that off of their books and then players any young prospects looking to shy to compete you know at that premier level in the premier pitch that opportunity will be stripped from them then players will obviously look for different avenues different teams whether the premier league or you can look at a jade and sand show currently plays a dormant he was coming up through man city he jumped ship it looks like you know and a good time you know but those 3 pieces you know obviously in the legacy of man city well you know it would be devastating could potentially be looking at a very dark chapter for this storied franchise yet without question chris thank you so much.
