That it means to protect us to know for to create a union but we have. A large number of countries that havent paid chairman he has they really owe a lot of money in nato and i think that we have to stand by while the interest on this has been going on for many years delinquent. Also coming up tonight what china may be doing to prevent a weak Muslim Minority baby boom and investigation into forced sterilizations and what some say is demographic genocide. Well i dont look positive opportunity we left our identity as women we were never be able to have children again they cut out one of. Its gone. And to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with transatlantic ties and what appears to be missing travel and trust this week the European Union is expected to begin reopening its borders to tourism a list will be published of approved countries which have done as well or better than europe in containing the coronavirus the United States is not expected to be on that list the you insist that the decision is based purely on science but it is a symbolic blow to a relationship that has for so long seemed invincible the ban on u. S. Tourists comes as the picture of america in the eyes of europeans is changing and not for the better in a new survey of 11000 people in 9 European Countries a majority say they have an increasingly negative view of the United States they blame americas chaotic handling of the Coronavirus Crisis and u. S. President donald trump nowhere has the perception deteriorated as much as here in germany as soon as he became President Donald Trump began targeting germany often german chancellor Angela Merkel in verbal attacks or twitter tirades trump has repeatedly and often incorrectly cited the failures of policies ranging from immigration to defense spending to Foreign Policy with russia in a moment well talk with one of the authors of this new survey but 1st one of the latest points of contention between the u. S. And germany the plans of u. S. President trump to reduce the number of u. S. Troops stationed here and move many see as an attempt by the president to punish the german chancellor. Almost all of them were throwing the eggs bar in the small the very in town of gaffney everyone is walking. Many of the regulars here are u. S. Soldiers from the nearby army base. Here to lay out who has been standing behind this bar for 27 years taking care of soldiers when theyre happy and theyre angry and theyre providing a person to those who come here this is more than just a bar and give sure its more than just its owner. Good men meet their love for animals and they dont call me by my 1st name they just call me mom you know a lot of them say this is their home away from home sometimes they come here and they might be in low spirits so when i see that i try to talk to them about it this is even i cant say theyre like my own children but they come here so often its like my family here you know. Its bar named after their translate husband himself a g. I. Is a fixture and often. Its a quiet town. Thats home to the Largest Overseas u. S. Army base in the world and to 12000 soldiers and their families talk of u. S. Troop withdrawal gives rise to uncertainty the base is the backbone of this otherwise economically weak region it generates some 660000000. 00 euros in revenue a year 60 to 70000000. 00 euros of which is money that the soldiers spend in local stores and restaurants some 20000. 00 civilian jobs for germans are directly tied to the base thats almost half of staff and less overall population impossible to replace in a remote region like this one. But dawson was mayor tells me for him economic considerations are only one part of the equation or with the family is that if you were celebrating 75 years of living together with the americans in a small town with 6 and a half 1000 residents. Its always been a nice and friendly relationship and i think it has benefited both nations we hope that it remains that way to our roots with us is a good. American soldiers have shaped coffin since the end of world war 2. Even he was here back in 1958 i was present he spent a few weeks in grafton and even though it violated the terms of his record deal he played one small concert in a local strip club on this very piano a story theyre proud of here but u. S. Troops dont only enrich coughing they also get something in return. Overheads bar crystal is one of the regular soccer with the originally from texas shes been in constant growth for 4 years not as military but as a civilian working at the base she believes living here is a unique experience for her and the soldiers alike. Its not just another duty station its ending its chance to experience culture and another culture within the confines of that country a soldier sometimes they dont get to see much other than their work because theres good things that they can see and then theres you know the bad. And i think that coming to germany coming to other countries they do see the good. Lots of good and sometimes thats thats but see to it that i did so far they hope that no troops will be withdrawn from coffins. You convinced it would be a loss not only for the town and its people but for soldiers here as well as. Well the planned reduction in u. S. Troops stationed here in germany is seen by many as yet more proof of the deteriorating relations between europe and the u. S. To talk about that new survey of u. S. European perceptions im joined now by suzy denis and suzy is one of the authors of that survey report which was conducted for the European Council on Foreign Relations who joins me from france tonight. Susie its good to have you on the day as i was reading through the report today there was one passage that caught my eye i want to share that with our viewers in it you write in a frightening world one looks around for friends but europeans may begin to see that there we go one looks around for friends but europeans are uncertain who they can rely on the code 19 crisis has shown the European Public a reality that european leaders have glimpsed for years europe is ultimately alone and vulnerable. A city this is a disaster is condition i would say both for the us and for your what do you say. Im very sorry but its very bad connection and im going to head a question but i think if i may correct me end because being alone in the weldon and vulnerability it was very much their own 3 level fathi and sense that. That was the disappointment in many Member States weve got bad government handling of the crisis but nevertheless a sense that they government has been have to rely on his south this was the biggest that we see when we asked the question who was the most important ally of the old government on this crisis the 2nd that i think is a european level but despite a resilient sense of the importance of european cooperation on global crises and people felt let down by the e. U. Institutions themselves on the Health Crisis with 47 percent of respondents across all the 9 Member States saying that the e. U. Had been irrelevant and then the same level was in the sense that it doesnt have any natural. We just being who. We still are going through an extremely difficult. Experience and we have found that the us wasnt that arrest and indeed because it was just us back in march right back at the beginning of the president hasnt shown a leadership on the crisis in that weve seen you do in previous. Sessions will you go down to russia and china so there is this real sense the europeans that they are by himself. This survey points to the pandemic as excel or rating europeans negative view of the u. S. This is this is about President Trump and how he has handled this crisis right. Well on the one hand and yes because one of the questions that we framed they say. They say if im going around you can gauge whether or not people because actions have questioned during the crisis and. The rest of the many thanks i think the question of us has lessened the expressions well. Whether they were very important minorities and on the other hand i think this is something which has been growing already asking when we get public that they call them could be you we are slightly different sets of questions about whether or not. You take us. Against russia and china and the respond if there is one to say that you should indeed us about 20 percent last year in 2 member thank you both and i think this is being a growing view but its been exacerbated by the crisis germanys foreign minister heiko said yesterday that the frosty relations between berlin and washington are unlikely to thaw even if someone else takes over as u. S. President this coming november. This is what he said the Transatlantic Partnership is extremely important and will remain important and we are working to secure its future but in its current form it no longer meets the demands that both sides have of it anyone who thinks that having a democrat in office were to reinstate the Transatlantic Partnership to what it was before is under estimating the structural changes see that as the survey you support what the foreign minister is saying here do europeans consider this negative few of the us to be permanent as we move forward. Well i think what we can see now as a result is that there is a growing sense that u. S. Needs to take responsibility for itself and one of the take the interesting dimension to that is in terms of economic sovereignty where we asked the question about whether you know if you bring the supply chains cases that are home to critical medical supplies and other critical bits and the us is on agreeing with i again what we typically high in front in germany and so i think that what we can see is that europeans at both policymaker and public level have learned from the experience of having to in the white house and they have seen that we would be foolish to do too as you know we can go back to the way things were 10 years ago mole and rather we should move forward and hopefully with. These things more in more like my good way with us in europe and even acknowledged we should be able to shake the well you know our interests and the line with our values and you know if you do that we have to build up european strategic sovereignty so i think it will be very interesting to pose the same questions after the election in November Susie denison with the European Council on Foreign Relations says we appreciate your time in your insights tonight thank you. To the future of europe after the pandemic that was the subject today is german chancellor. And french president. It was their 1st face to face since the pandemic hit back in march the eager to show the. Economic recovery. The greeting was distanced because of coronavirus but nonetheless it is not by chance that he. Is the 1st foreign leader to meet with. Since the virus crisis began the pan spearheading a 500000000000 euro proposal for rebuilding europes economy off to the pandemic these are 2 leaders who want to Work Together and be the driving force for europe. We understand that europe is not you know because germany and france agree but when germany and france disagree it does not look so good for unity in europe so perhaps we can find agreement on many questions and make a contribution and give a positive impulse to things in the right direction for europes future. As germany prepares to take over the presidency of the e. U. On the 1st of july america is more central than ever to the future of the block the french president for his part wants to be seen to be injecting his own energy and ideas into the tandem he brought with him from paris a proposal for a new environmental levy and he spoke of how European Values have prevailed during the pandemic. Across europe there has been an open and transparent debate from the still not i think citizens should be aware of what that means in many other parts of the world some more severely affected by the virus than us the assistance of both individuals and companies has not been as massive far from it and in many places the epidemic has been synonymous with the suspension of democratic life but not here in europe. Has been weakened by his partys poor results in local elections on sunday machall handling of kobe has boosted her support even though the plan to transfer funds to struggling countries in Southern Europe is a huge huge turn which not only have party back but as they try to convince some reluctant e. U. Members that they have the right recipe for recovery fronts in germany want to make sure theyre pointing in the same direction. Is china carrying out demographic genocide against its weaker Muslim Minority an investigation by the Associated Press claims beijing is forcing weaker women to undergo Birth Control in a bid to reduce the Muslim Population a. P. Says it has evidence that women in the far west region. Have been subjected to forced sterilization and even abortion to slash the birth rate. 2 months in a Detention Camp in shin junk has left scars on wood but even once she was released this mother wasnt free along with other we girl women in her area she was forcibly sterilized. But the last one on the part of our body we lost our identity as women we will never be able to have children again they cut out one of our organs its gone. To. A chinese born kazakh narrowly escaped at the tension camp leg zoomer that she also has 3 children to avoid prison for the multiple births she was ordered to pay a huge fine. Shed already been forced to accept an i. U. D. Birth control device. Now she feels one of the lucky ones. They will most americans if they did shots andrew fetuses forcefully. They wont ask the spouses permission or anything else. If they say its illegal they make you get an abortion some didnt have bay was sent to the camps now people are terrified of giving Birth Control and so. While china has relaxed its one child policy across the country according to this investigation and sheen john its tightened sterilizations among women in the northern province have increased dramatically in 2018243 were officially recorded per 100000 women but in the rest of the country there were just 32. Experts say this is all about beijing exerting control. As part of its policy to try to control the weak Us Population step do not grow as quickly and rapidly are easier to control as part of beijings costs of social reengineering strategy in the area china of though has hit back at these revelations. You or me if you told the truth to the media report is purely for all to hear your motives and baseless. I also want to emphasize that both as you make minorities and people need to act in accordance with the law. Humans. Many of those see this investigation as yet more evidence that china is trying to cut its muslim and minority populations by any means necessary. Or more and then im joined tonight by abbas we are american and rights advocate she is the founder and executive director of the campaign for we miss abbas its good to have you on the program you just heard there are no reports the Chinese Government calls this latest revelation baseless what do you say. Well thats how at the you know you have hit the nail on the head china has been always speaks the opposite the truth out there is dance work is very important the ploy factual information on the genocide based on the chinese documents and that they got itself so its not something that the Chinese Government can easily deny and you agree that this whats being reported that this is in fact demographic genocide yes it is what china is doing to oysters is meeting the conditions laid out by the United Nations for genocide no need to walk there than china is finding new and if a us ways to carry it out carry this genocide but it is genocide all the same you mentioned the United Nations this situation reminds me of what happened with the roe hinges in me and more and you had the committee an Investigative Committee from the you when that that said indeed genocide was being committed there why arent we seeing a similar attempt or a similar interest by the u. N. Concerning the weaker minority in china. Well he knighted nation is being ineffective because its china the chinese money basically the un has been blocked and the the free world and specially organization like United Nations has been silent and that frustrates us because the United Nations should hold it its principles and the. Wealth specially frustrations United Nations and even letting the china have a seat on Human Rights Council and panel we are set that are certainly hopeful that as more and more information about this genocide comes out countries and the United Nations at their friend and that these would make the right decision and individually to do they best from china and while theyre running concentration camps i guess i know this has to be frustrating for you when you see what the United Nations is doing or is not doing but what about the United States to be youre in the u. S. Is washington the trump ministration are they willing to talk with you. Yes actually the u. S. Has been the 1st country to take actual potential action and the strong steps i certainly hope that the other countries will follow this through and that there will be a for here that stated action as we all know on june 7th is present time signed the weekend couldnt writes policy act and heres another upcoming week or forced labor prevention act which is very important we need all countries to use the our global like its the sanctions against the chinese officials. Yet we need to have the United Nations and the other. The market the countries and not a loving the International Olympic committee to letting china host the Olympic Games while china is conducting a genocide against the reviewers missing was i want to ask you i know that there has been this attention given by the Trump Administration to whats happening to the weaker minority in china but with a u. S. President ial election coming up in november and with the u. S. President trump being down in the ratings right now in the polls he is going to be looking for ways to win voter support. Does the wigger minority does that fit in to trumps thinking right now. Well there are a lot of 1st speculations and the talks but the bottom line is the President Trumps kind and took actual attentional step as i mentioned earlier china is running an intense campaign for this information and running concentration camps and conducting genocide and i question the rest of the world where is the outrage from this i mean countries where is the feminist activist while the government are facing governments nasseri well the why you know the question is quite simple its china as a money or yours are becoming human collateral for the sake of chinas economy and aggression so unless the countries take a step and the us to pick cantles actions again following what they have been doing no amount of money can you raise this great stain on the humanity because history is repeating itself never again happening all over again on our watch so the countries the western democratic shared value countries was us really needs to take action to stop china. We will definitely be following this story and will be interested to see if the un takes action and also what comes out of the United States rashaun. American rights act that the carrot and founder and director of the campaign for a week years is about as we appreciate your time in your insights tonight thank you thank you so much.
