A charter with Bernie Sanders let me tell you nothing about the funding all really it says abolish it says of lets go all right you get me that youre out of place in his 1st t. V. Interview in a year the u. S. President has challenged on his handling of coronavirus and antiracism protests and the show must go on the tough year ahead for hollywood production under a pandemic will mean higher costs and longer waits for movies and t. V. Shows. Deadlock and division are gripping the European Union right now as its leaders struggled to compromise on a Major Economic rescue package for 3 days straight Member States of failed to agree on the blocks financial future at stake is a budget of 2. 00 trillion dollars that would be spread out over the next 7 years it includes an 857000000000. 00. A fund to help countries recover from coronavirus but members cant agree on how it should be handed out a group of socalled frugal countries want more of the money has been given as loans and not grants on top of that hungry in poland and threaten to veto the package over a new rule that what aid to certain democratic principles need barkha begins our coverage on efforts to avoid what could be one of the worst european recessions in decades. How to share 857000000000. 00 the questions confounded e. U. Leaders for days and deepened all divisions within the bloc in one camp nations known as the frugal for austria denmark sweden and the netherlands the wealthy northern states pay the most per capita into the e. U. Shared reserves they want strict controls on how the Recovery Fund is shared prefer ing to loan countries money the positions at odds with spain and italy both economies were hit hard by the pandemic they want generous grants from the bloc that dont need to be repaid the german chancellor Angela Merkel and french president emmanuel mccrone have been trying to broker a compromise by offering e. U. Countries a combination of loans and grants but even latest cant agree on how to do this. These compromises and i say this very clearly will not be made at the cost of the european goals not out of principle but will be made because we are facing an Unprecedented Health economic and social crisis and because our countries need it european unity needs it a fierce argument also erupted between the dutch Prime Minister mark reiter and his hung garion counterpart viktor orban over whether money should be withheld from countries that fail to live up to the e. U. s core values in recent years victor or bans governments been accused of attacks on the media minorities and the rule of law. Charges which he denies i dont know what is the person lol reason for the dutch Prime Minister to meet me or hungary but hes attacking saul harshly and making very clear that because hungary is opinion does not respect the rule of law must be punished financially death his position which is not acceptable you have places its deepest recession since the 2nd world war the road to recovery hangs on solidarity. So lets bring in david hershon horney hes chief brussels correspondent of Politico Magazine and joins us live now from brussels david this is the 3rd day of wrangling the e. U. Leaders over this huge Recovery Plan why do you think theres such difficulty in finding Common Ground over this deal. Well there are a lot of very fundamental disagreements about how to handle this budget and recovery package the e. U. Budget 7 year Financial Plan in this case amounting to approximately one trillion euro more than that obviously in dollars is always the most controversial negotiation that leads leaders go through 27 countries in this case all have to agree on what programs theyre going to lay out how theyre going to set their priorities over the course of the next 7 years add into that this historic situation with a coronavirus pandemic and the worst economic shock since the Great Depression now theyre looking at this recovery effort a really new concept for the e. U. Which is to borrow giant sums of money on the Financial Markets together and then give grants to the countries that need help this means that the e. U. Would borrow together but then give to countries where recovery is most needed italy of course hard hit spain and there you have countries like the netherlands that dont necessarily want their taxpayers taking on that debt to then give out that money elsewhere yes i david so what about countries then like its any in spain who say look very commies have been hit the hardest by the pandemic and accuse the e. U. Of not doing enough to help i mean the italian Prime Minister even says theyre under the threat of the e. U. Froogle what does he mean by that briefly. Well they are feeling very left alone in certain respects and what they want to remind the netherlands and austria denmark and sweden is that those countries manufacture things they sell things its great that they had a terrific Rainy Day Fund saved up they were in a much stronger financial position to have that umbrella open and be ready for the storm when it hit but in fact theyll be standing out there all alone under their umbrella unless they make sure that italy spain france all these countries are also able to recover in the same way so what you hear is a lot of talk about divergence germany has recognized this how quickly germany was able to unleash more than a trillion euro in support of its own economy other countries have not been able to do that theyre already saddled with debt so they need this help and theyre trying to explain that all together the e. U. Can make sure they recover in a much more cohesive way than if they struggle on their own and it is interesting to point out david that hungary and Prime Minister viktor orban bats by poland hes threatened to veto the package if the deal means withholding funds from countries that dont meet certain democratic principles could all been derailed this deal theres no question it has to be decided unanimously any one leader can stop it so in fact if you listen to portuguese from minister in tony acosta he made clear that this rule of law provision is not going to fly even though he supports it in fact this is an old debate that goes back to the core budget is the town about coronavirus where you have some new leader countries very frustrated that budget money goes to countries that they perceive as undermining democratic principles but in fact because the way that you treaty is written that this must be decided union you know mostly there is no way to get a provision like that through if in fact hungary or poland object to it so they may find some compromise language but in the end thats a question to be settled somewhere else where they revisit some questions about how the treaties are set up david great to get your thoughts thank you very much for talking to aljazeera and to earth thank you. Well once the e. U. Is still coming up with a Financial Plan the u. S. Is struggling to contain the worlds biggest outbreak infections in many parts of the country including florida and california theres been 3700000. 00 cases nationwide and more than 140000 dead u. S. President donald trump has been downplaying the epidemic falsely claiming in an interview that the u. S. Has one of the lowest mortality rates in the world from handling of the outbreak will likely be a key issue with voters in november election with alan fischer joins us live now from north of genea island so different states have different approaches to the idea of ordering people to wear mosques and thats a worry as some may remember pose the lockdowns. The real is a patchwork of legislation across the country we have donald trump who said in that Television Interview that he had no intention of issuing a nationwide mask order even though many of his own experts say that to do so would not only cut the rate of infection in the United States is currently seeing around 70000. 00 new cases every single day it may also help the economy which of course is what donald trump is very keen on doing thats why many states were quick to restart their economies quick to a marriage from law but we have a number of administration seeing that the me will have to go but one of them is los angeles the mayor there saying that things are so bad they may have to go back to stage one which is almost a complete lot dont you might do when who is the republican governor of ohio saying that he isnt about to issue a statewide order but they are starting a Massive Education Campaign critics say that thats happening way too late but he said look the number of cases in ohio is beginning to what they have and there is the possibility that ohio might be the next florida in atlanta you have the mayor there who is saying that she wants masks for anyone entering any building a tall but the governor has no taken legal action against her 1st of all to say that she cant enforce that must mandate because it goes beyond what the governor wants to do which is just strongly recommend and also saying that the mayor should be gagged to do she shouldnt be making statements on this everything should come from the state house all of that as we see with the u. S. No recording 70000 cases and according to Johns Hopkins university which has been tracking the virus since the very beginning the country has the 7th highest mortality rate in the world is certainly going to give lawmakers a lot to think about not only that theyre going to have to consider plans by the white house to blog billions of dollars in spending on track and trace and improving. Testing the donald trump says he doesnt want to push ahead with that but democrats are keen to get 75000000000. 00 spent on doing just that and you know what there are a lot more republicans who are now saying that they are going to support the move because they see this as one way of getting out of this pandemic which is slowly got worse white house has been talking about embers theres a forest fire raging across the country all right allan thank you now u. S.

Shine a joiner with Bernie Sanders let me tell you nothing about the funding oh really its there is abolish it says of lets go all right now do you get me that youre out of. What trump went on to speak about the black lives matter protests and the debate over the Confederate Flag he said those who are fond of the symbol are exercising their freedom of speach. They like the south people right now like the south i say its freedom of many things but its freedom of speech so youre not offended by well im not offended either by black lives matter thats freedom of speech can you understand why blacks would be angry at that stage to of course it is many whites are killed also i understand that ive been to many many whites are killed i hate this but this is going on for decades just going on for a long time when like when i was in washington d. C. With more on that sit down interview there were a lot of false statements in that hour long interview President Trump had a wide ranging conversation discussing his efforts to come back to coronavirus all what many would argue his lack of effort its relationship with the chief i rather just in the United States dr tony funk she is threat to to defund schools that refused to open up 5 days a week at the beginning of the new school term so certainly it was a very wide ranging conversation and in point she got hugely controversial another very troubling comment made by President Trump he was asked directly would be where they he would accept the results of the election in november win or lose President Trump would not give an answer in fact he declined to give an answer as to whether or not he would accept the results of the election so many troubling aspects in this interview centering on things that President Trump has said repeatedly in recent weeks for the 1st time in an interview he was actually challenged on a number of those full suits us recording artist kanye west has held its 1st Campaign Event in the state of South Carolina he announced plans to run for president early this month its unclear if he met the deadline to appear on the states ballot west made a federal filing declaring himself as an independent candidate for his newly formed birthday party.
