00:00German Chancellor Olaf Scholz welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron to Berlin on Wednesday for Macron's fourth visit to Germany this year.
00:08Whilst the two countries were unified in their support for Israel amid rising tensions in the Middle East, they both underlined the need for a ceasefire.
00:16However, the countries also disagree on how to move forward with Chinese electric vehicle tariffs.
00:22Macron warned that the EU is in a very precarious situation and could die if it doesn't deepen its single market and resolve the fragmentation that causes friction between member states.
00:33He said, if we don't act now in terms of reforming regulations, then Europe will have to implement a rescue plan in five to ten years' time.
00:42As Scholz grapples with rising discontent from his voters, many are wondering if he will survive until the federal election scheduled for the end of next year,
00:51and if not, how the French-German friendship could continue without Scholz at the helm.
