05:48on imports from any European country
05:51that levies a digital services tax
05:52on US companies.
05:54For more, we're joined by our very own Stefan Krobey.
05:56Stefan, never a dull moment
05:58really in the EU-US
06:00transatlantic tie.
06:02What's behind this latest attack?
06:03Yeah, that's right, Maeve. Good morning.
06:06Well, Maeve, just when many in Brussels
06:08thought that the transatlantic trade
06:10dispute had calmed down,
06:12Donald Trump has reignited it
06:15with one of his toughest
06:17threats yet.
06:18So, the US president says any country
06:20imposing a digital services tax
06:22on American technology companies could face
06:24a 100% tariff
06:26on all exports to the United States
06:28and he insists those tariffs
06:30would supersede
06:32any existing trade agreements.
06:34Now, the immediate targets here
06:36are European countries.
06:38For years, several EU member states
06:40including France, Spain, Italy
06:42have argued that
06:44US tax giants such as Google,
06:46such as Amazon, Apple, or Meta
06:50generate billions, billions of euros
06:52in revenue in Europe
06:54while paying very little tax.
06:56And digital service taxes
06:58are designed to make those companies
07:00contribute more
07:02where they do business,
07:04which is actually here.
07:05Washington, however,
07:06sees these taxes
07:08as discriminatory
07:10because they disproportionately
07:11affect American tech companies.
07:13The European Commission
07:14has responded defiantly,
07:16saying the EU has every right
07:18to regulate and tax
07:20economic activity
07:22within its own market.
07:24And Brussels insists
07:25its rules are not discriminatory
07:28and has warned
07:29that it is prepared to respond
07:30if Washington follows through
07:32on its threat.
07:33The timing here
07:35is significant, Maeve,
07:37because only weeks
07:38after the US and the EU
07:39reached a broader
07:40trade understanding
07:42that capped most tariffs
07:43at 15%,
07:44digital taxation
07:46remains one of the most important
07:48unresolved issues.
07:50And Trump's latest warning
07:52now risks opening
07:53an entirely new front
07:54in the transatlantic trade
07:56relationship.
07:57And Stefan, meanwhile,
07:58of course, that party
07:59that took place last night
08:00to celebrate 250 years
08:02of independence.
08:03Security, of course,
08:04was very tight,
08:05but there were protesters
08:06gathering nearby.
08:08Some NGOs like Greenpeace
08:10rolling out banners
08:10saying war, greed,
08:12energy crisis,
08:13what is there to celebrate?
08:15Now, of course,
08:15the motto of the gathering
08:16last night was
08:17250 years of independence,
08:19building our future together.
08:22Stefan, that sounds
08:22almost ironic
08:23given President Trump's
08:24real feelings for Europe.
08:26You were at the party
08:27last night.
08:28Did you see bad feelings?
08:29Well, Maeve, you're right.
08:32Trump doesn't like Europe.
08:34He hates the European Union
08:35and he usually criticizes
08:37the EU in much harsher terms
08:39than, for example,
08:41Russia, China and North Korea,
08:42all countries
08:43without a liberal democracy.
08:46And on that motto,
08:48building a future together,
08:51look, it was a garden party
08:53to which U.S. embassies
08:55and foreign capitals
08:56typically invite
08:57host country officials
08:59and diplomats
09:00around the American
09:02Independence Day.
09:04Only this time
09:05it was much, much bigger.
09:07And you mentioned it,
09:08there were several thousands
09:10of what I call
09:12friends of America
09:14who were invited,
09:15people who in their day jobs
09:17deal with the United States
09:18one way or the other.
09:21And no, I did not register
09:23any bad feelings.
09:25mainly because the organizers
09:27kept it apolitical.
09:29It was a rather timeless
09:30celebration of Americana
09:32that people,
09:33especially in Europe,
09:34love about the country,
09:35like line dancing,
09:37like mechanical bull rides,
09:39like baseball
09:40and American football.
09:42And because it was so apolitical,
09:44people had a good time.
09:46America is about more
09:48than Donald Trump.
09:50And Donald Trump as president,
09:52he is what he is.
09:53but throughout American history,
09:55there have been presidents
09:55who were considered
09:57unfit for the job.
09:59You know,
09:59the James Buchanan's,
10:02the Andrew Johnson's,
10:03the Herbert Hoover's,
10:04they come and they go.
10:06The same with Trump.
10:08So political differences
10:10should not stop us
10:11from celebrating
10:12American values
10:13and the friendship
10:14that many people
10:15on both sides
10:16of the Atlantic
10:17still cherish
10:18and hold dear.
10:19OK, Stefan Cobain,
10:20as you said,
10:21people had a very good time
10:22leaving with bags,
10:24of course,
10:24of American candy.
10:25Thank you so much
10:26for your analysis there.
10:28Now, moving on,
10:29the World Health Organization
10:30has said
10:31almost 1,300 deaths
10:33have been recorded
10:34since the deadly heat wave
10:35in Europe
10:35that began
10:36on the 21st of June.
10:38This weekend
10:39saw record temperatures
10:40hit Germany,
10:41Czechia,
10:41Poland and Hungary,
10:43with police in Berlin
10:44using water cannons
10:45to cool people down
10:46and German Rail
10:47urging people
10:47to cancel
10:48their travel bans.
10:49For more,
10:50we can bring in
10:50Carla Bunthimpo,
10:51Director of the
10:52Covered English
10:53Climate Change Service.
10:54Thank you so much
10:55for coming on
10:56Europe today.
10:57Just tell us
10:58how unusual
10:58is this heat wave
10:59for late June
11:00and can we expect
11:01this heat to continue
11:02into July?
11:03Well, I mean,
11:04what you were describing
11:05is the answer
11:07to your question
11:07in a sense
11:08because the conditions
11:09are extremely unusual.
11:10We see temperature
11:1212, 10,
11:1312 degrees
11:13above the normal average
11:16is for France,
11:18for part of the UK.
11:19We've seen recent days
11:20and as you said,
11:21now that the peak
11:22of the heat wave
11:23is moving east,
11:24we are seeing
11:24record-breaking temperature
11:25affecting eastern Germany,
11:27affecting Czechia
11:27and Poland.
11:29So this is very unusual
11:30and at the moment
11:32it doesn't necessarily look
11:34as the end is near.
11:36The peak
11:36maybe in Western Europe
11:37has been reached
11:38but looking at the forecast
11:40and for the forecast
11:41the national med services
11:42are the best place
11:43to look at.
11:44there is not
11:45a clear sign
11:46for rain coming in
11:49or a reduction,
11:50a massive reduction
11:51in temperature.
11:52And based on your expertise,
11:53is it climate change
11:54making these extreme heat events
11:56more frequent
11:56and more intense?
11:58Well, you know,
11:58as always,
11:59it's a combination.
12:00These events,
12:01high-pressure regions
12:02extending over Europe
12:03have existed
12:04throughout history.
12:05We have seen
12:05many heat waves
12:06before this one
12:07starting from
12:08the famous
12:09or infamous
12:092003 heat wave.
12:11but these same
12:12weather patterns
12:13are now operating
12:14in a world
12:15that is much,
12:16much warmer
12:16and Europe
12:17is warming faster
12:18than the global average
12:19and we see
12:19this heat wave
12:20becoming more frequent,
12:21more intense,
12:22lasting longer
12:23and starting earlier
12:24in the season.
12:25And what are the biggest
12:26health risks,
12:27especially for vulnerable people?
12:28We've already seen
12:29the deaths that have been
12:30announced from this.
12:31Yeah,
12:31and there is actually
12:32a paper that came out
12:34last week
12:34from a colleague of ours
12:36at the ECNWF,
12:38Rebecca Emerton,
12:39that was published
12:39in Nature,
12:40and she looked at
12:41the heat stress
12:42and heat stress
12:43has gone up
12:44all over the globe,
12:45not just in Europe.
12:46And heat stress
12:47is a cause of death
12:48for many humans
12:50and actually
12:51the heat-related
12:52mortality in Europe
12:53as the Lancet countdown
12:55pointed out
12:55a couple of years ago
12:56has gone up 30%
12:58in the last 20 years.
12:59So having more heat waves
13:00means that actually
13:01our own risk
13:02of facing
13:03the consequences
13:04of heat stress
13:06has gone up
13:07very significantly
13:08and will continue
13:09to go up
13:09unfortunately
13:10as the temperature
13:11rises not just
13:12in Europe
13:12but across the world.
13:14Okay, Carlo,
13:15buon tempo.
13:15Thank you so much
13:16for your analysis
13:17as always
13:18and for joining us
13:18here on the programme.
13:20Now,
13:20this latest heat wave
13:21that is,
13:22as we heard said
13:23to last,
13:23has triggered
13:24a fiery debate
13:25across Europe
13:26about the lack
13:26of infrastructure
13:27when it comes
13:27to air conditioning
13:28in homes,
13:29schools,
13:30public transport
13:30and workplaces.
13:32Europe's air conditioning
13:33issues is quite low
13:34compared to other continents,
13:35particularly North America
13:36and Asia
13:37with only around 19%
13:38of households
13:39having air conditioning
13:40here.
13:40And in France,
13:41we've seen politicians
13:42laying the groundwork
13:43for their campaigns
13:44ahead of the elections
13:45next year,
13:46seizing upon
13:47the air conditioning
13:48debate.
13:48For more,
13:49we can bring in
13:49Diana Urgevors,
13:50that's the Vice Chair
13:51of the Intergovernmental
13:52Panel on Climate Change.
13:54Good morning.
13:55Just tell us,
13:55what's your view here
13:56on this political debate
13:57over air con for all
13:59versus long-term
14:00climate policies?
14:01Is this just addressing
14:02the symptoms
14:02and not really
14:03the root causes?
14:05Thank you very much.
14:06It's a very important
14:07question.
14:07Not only is it
14:08not only addressing
14:10the symptoms,
14:11but in fact,
14:12really aggravating
14:13climate change
14:13and aggravating
14:14even local warming
14:15in the cities
14:16because air conditioning,
14:18what it does
14:18is actually puts
14:19the local indoor heat
14:21out on the streets
14:21to actually,
14:22it makes the urban heat
14:23even worse.
14:24And also global warming
14:26because cooling
14:27is expected
14:28to add 25%
14:30more electricity demand
14:33until 2030
14:34than even data centres,
14:37which means that
14:38if we only compare
14:39to artificial intelligence,
14:40this is about five times
14:41as much.
14:42We talk a lot
14:42about the energy
14:44from artificial intelligence,
14:45but not so much
14:46from cooling.
14:47At the same time,
14:48of course,
14:49it is very important
14:50that we are providing
14:52thermal safety
14:53to our residents
14:54because heat
14:55is killing in Europe.
14:56It can kill
14:57as much as 40,000
14:59to 60,000
15:00excess deaths,
15:01so people
15:03in a hot summer
15:04all over Europe.
15:05So it is crucial.
15:06But I would consider
15:07more taking
15:09the Swiss approach,
15:10which means that
15:11we provide access,
15:13allow access
15:13to the elderly
15:14or the vulnerable groups
15:16and otherwise
15:17we try to implement measures
15:19that in the few
15:20really extreme days
15:21such as what
15:22we are experiencing
15:23now in some countries
15:24and some countries
15:24are already over,
15:25we'd rather take
15:26temporary measures
15:27to provide safety,
15:29for example
15:30in cooling centres
15:31during those days
15:32which happen
15:32just a few days
15:33about every year.
15:35So far it will
15:36for a while
15:36it will really only
15:37hurt us a few days
15:39every couple of years
15:41but then we have
15:42to take these measures
15:43for example
15:43cooling centres
15:44or also have to accept
15:46that perhaps
15:47there will be
15:48temporary reductions
15:49in productivity
15:50and perhaps
15:52home office
15:52and other measures
15:53can help
15:55in these difficult situations.
15:57And I'm not sure
15:57if you've seen
15:58but the European Commission
15:59is under criticism
15:59for turning off the AC
16:01for some of its staff
16:02and leaving it on
16:03for others higher up
16:04in buildings.
16:05I guess this shows
16:06really the wider problem
16:07we have across Europe
16:08as you're describing
16:09regarding access.
16:11Exactly.
16:12So access to air conditioning
16:13is a crucial issue
16:15at the same time
16:16it is also again
16:17important
16:17that to understand
16:19that the solution
16:20is not universal access
16:22to everywhere,
16:22everything
16:23because right now
16:24exactly the very reasons
16:26why it had to be turned off.
16:27is because of capacity shortages
16:29and if they suddenly
16:30try to provide access
16:32to everyone
16:32that means
16:34that our capacities
16:35won't be able
16:35to survive
16:37because we are
16:39now already jeopardising
16:41the success
16:41of the green energy transition
16:43because what we see
16:44is that we are now
16:45adding more energy demand
16:47that we are able
16:48to provide
16:50with new sources
16:51of renewable power
16:52despite our
16:53unexpected success
16:55with the deployment
16:56of renewable energy sources
16:58but certainly
16:59of course
16:59it doesn't mean
17:00that the elites
17:01of the elites
17:02will have to have access
17:03and the others don't
17:05so we do have to look
17:06at everyone's needs
17:09but again
17:10I do believe
17:11that perhaps
17:11temporary measures
17:12where everyone
17:13has a temporary arrangement
17:15for these few days
17:16to get by
17:17and still be able
17:18to work
17:18but even more
17:19to be able
17:20to stay healthy
17:21is more important
17:22than the solution
17:23to have full access
17:25immediately
17:25to everyone
17:26to air conditioning
17:27because the problem
17:28is once you have
17:29access to air conditioning
17:31the culture also changes
17:33we have a lot
17:34of cultural adaptations
17:35to hot days
17:37and how we get by
17:38in heat
17:40and we would lose
17:42all of this
17:42if we suddenly
17:43have all air conditioners
17:45Okay Diana Urgevorsas
17:46thank you so much
17:47for your insights there
17:48and for joining us
17:49and now it's time
17:50for an update
17:51on the FIFA World Cup results
17:58Well it was a busy weekend
18:00with matches
18:01with Austria qualifying
18:02in dramatic fashion
18:03after a 3-3 draw
18:04with Algeria
18:05on Sunday morning
18:06becoming the last
18:07European team
18:08to book a place
18:09in the knockout stage
18:10Three of the 16 teams
18:12heading home
18:13after the group stage
18:14are European
