I Just cannot shuffle today. I don't know what's going on with me Okay, I hope you're happy for me. I Left you before you could leave me. Okay, that might have happened in the past for some of you if you're in separation I don't know that they intentionally tried to leave you. I just think that They did have some financial struggles I mean a lot of people did or maybe when you met, you know, they were at the nine of pentacles They were trying to get to the ten.  I feel like this person was between You know commit getting into a commitment and then getting their finances together So they may have pulled away to take care of that there is so they do feel like they wish that they treated you better But it seems like they may have had to do what they had to do Okay interference external party is intruding on this relationship and I feel like that was their Financial issues and their work Okay, oh Yeah, this friendship is leading to more so for some of you This did kind of start out as like a non-committal romance or a connection Where it was like friends and lovers like a little bit of that but not like full fledged Kind of energy between the two of you for some of you I do feel like this is someone that you were just recently dating or that you were dating You know for some it could be recent for some it could have been That's you know at some point in the past and for others it could be that this is someone from long ago from your past But I know some of you were past that energy. So, you know, if that's the case, that's the case But it's a general reading and if you want to get a personal reading, there's a link in the description box So you can get more clarity on this reading. Let's get a charm Okay, Virgo oh All right, so we've got a parrot Parrot on a perch here. Well to me it looks like a parrot. Yeah, it's a parrot. I just heard the name Sam Like to Ken Sam, they're saying the name Sam Okay, or the initials S. A. M. M. A. S. A. S. M. A. M. M. However, you want to switch it? And Again with this Christmas tree this Christmas tree keeps showing up in these charm meetings and I'm shuffling them So something here might be occurring around Christmas. Are you guys met around Christmas? Okay, holiday season will say a lot of this could be showing up around this time somebody here might actually have a parrot or Some kind of a bird one of those tropical birds Okay, then we have the teapot again. This actually was in yesterday's reading and If you got I think if you got the teapot yesterday, this is your reading again. Okay I'm feeling like England or very formal very formal energy Maybe you guys go and get matcha tea or something or someone likes that matcha tea or there's like You have a teapot brewing or water or coffee or something along those lines And then you also have the shooting star and that makes me think of that old song Honey, you are my shooting star Okay, so somebody here might be a shooting star You're rising up in the entertainment world or somebody's rising up in the entertainment world or you saw a shooting star recently Let's get another Somebody has these shooting star earrings Or kind of wears those funky earrings like Carla from Cheers remember she always had those funky earrings if you're female well if you're male too Let's get I just they said get two more. Okay Wow, so we have a bottle opener Maybe you have a bottle opener right now or you're working with up trying to open up a bottle Or something here bottle opener And then we have this salamander, okay, that feels very much like Aries energy But salamanders could be somebody or somewhere around where you live if they get another one. Oh Gosh, I have to say for some of you. I just noticed this this king of swords has a falcon perched on his arm And we do have a bird here on a perch So that could be this could represent a falcon They've been saying paying attention to this king of swords. No, this king of swords is king of swords is an intellectual leader Everything is intellectual with him He's not very good with his emotions and committing emotionally, but he's very good with like Intellectualizing analyzing things, you know, he's thought-provoking strategic like an analyst at times He's very self-sufficient and he's brutally honest Even sometimes he could say things he doesn't mean to hurt But he's just so observant and brutally honest he or she okay now we have a dolphin Okay, so I don't know if somebody here is You have dolphins around you or you saw dolphins. Maybe you have dolphin tattoos Dolphins are very loyal and they're all they're like the angels of the sea So this feels very much like, you know a message to you That you have angels all around you and if you have dolphins Somewhere near you or you see them or you're watching a YouTube video or you just saw Saw them or you see them. That's that's a very important message for some of you. I just heard the name skipper They said skipper I just they're like get another one, you know, we can't do these charms all day spirit Okay, so we've got an apple here. So for some of you the big apple New York Manhattan that might resonate for some of you or you know You're eating an apple an apple a day keeps a doctor away They just said that so somebody might be a doctor or is connected to a physician. It doesn't matter some someone who's MD PhD whatever in the medical community, whatever it is Dio Whatever it just feels like nutrition health. This is a healthy reading. This is a healthy Connection that's how I feel. All right, Virgo.

All right, Virgo. See you later. Bye


Are there any questions? Are we able to stage anything on our uniforms? Like bottoms off or boots off? You need to maintain your weapon during that time. Once you've taken your gear... No!


see from Charlotte and from your end of things that that allowed them to take control in that second half. Yeah I mean I think you know they went small the second half for a large part it became a one-on-one game and we couldn't guard the ball as well as they could. It's the bottom line they scored 61 they got some runouts easy baskets in transition you know we struggled we got static we stopped attacking the basket and yeah just we're not ourselves in the second half. I'm sure it's multiple things is there's something singular that stands out that's correctable that was disappointed in the way that the game.  Just kind of touch on this a little bit the three-point shooting was that more of you guys going static was that anything they did defensively. Which part. Three-point shooting. Yeah I mean you know I think we settled for too many tough threes because we weren't going to the basket you know they're playing without a rim protector and we settled so I think you know if we're not playing with pace and then the ball finds energy we're not attacking the paint that's what you're gonna get some nice is tough threes and you know I think that's why a big big reason why we shot such a poor percentage. They went small kind of late in the late going in your mind was that just a personnel issue was that just constantly come down to guarding your men. Yeah I mean you know sometimes it's randomness and basketball I mean I don't know how many points they got from Mitch Smith in the fourth quarter but you know he had a hot fourth quarter we had a cold fourth quarter and the game got away from us and sometimes that just happens in the NBA but we still look at all the reasons you know all the things that we could do better and improve on for sure. So James is obviously someone who's averaged what 10 free throw attempts per game for the better part of his career four and games one and two and just one attempt tonight what are you seeing from him in terms of a how he's maybe responding to the way the rule changes has impacted his game and is that kind of a problem when you have a guy who's kind of reliant in the way on getting to the line who is now kind of unable to do so. Yeah I think he's got to stick with it you know I feel like he's unfairly become the poster boy of not calling these fouls but some of them are definitely fouls still but they're just so alert and aware and he's the poster child of these of these new decisions that they're still I get it there's a line but some of them are still fouls so he's just got to stick with it he's got to keep going to the basket he's got to you know do what he does because a large portion of them are still fouls and if he doesn't get fouls he can still make plays he can still finish and pass and do all the things that he does so he's just got to continue as he you know finds his rhythm again after a very little basketball for you know half a year now keep attacking and keep attacking and you know they're gonna respect you know his skill level and his ability to get guys on his shoulder and and get to the basket. Steve what are you seeing exactly as far as plays it do you think that are fouls or is it contact inside the paint or is it on the perimeter? I think it's on the on the drive you know they're they're hyper aware of him reaching for guys arms but guys aren't set and they're they're getting caught you know not in a legal guarding position bumping him you know that's a foul that has nothing to do with the hands those are the ones that I I take a little exception to but James will get there he'll get there and he's gonna round into his shape and rhythm you know like I said he's had a long long layoff and I think they're hyper sensitive to some of these things right now and it usually goes back towards the middle and you know we'll find a nice balance.


This is John A, and I'm John S. We're both on the tree board of Montpelier. I had to change my t-shirt, because this was the one that I wore in today, which is a caterpillar t-shirt. Isn't that awesome? He sells them. Anyway, we're here to talk about the emerald ash war, which is a pest, an invasive pest that's now landed in this area. The first one we discovered in Montpelier. February, 2018. Yeah, so a little over a year and a half ago. And national life. Yeah. And we are now looking for it. It's going to spread. It's definitely the adults have hatched, part of the process of hatching out. So we'll find it in other places around the city. The emerald ash war is an insect that fits on a penny. It's about that long. It's bright green. There's lots of bright green insects, as you were saying. But if it doesn't fit on a penny, it's not an EAD. And this thing landed in the Detroit area in 2002, I believe. And it was detected in 2002. Probably was there earlier. Probably came in on some wooden pallets, or who knows what, from Asia. And it's a naturally occurring insect there. And it has a whole host of predators that keep it in balance. It's not out of control here. There's none of those yet. And so it's just decimated, literally tens of millions of trees in the last 16 years. From Michigan into 34 states now. And if you drive from the Midwest, you'll see it all along the highways. The trees are just dead, dead, dead. It's unbelievable how fast it's coming. The insect itself will travel about a mile or two a year. So how did it get all the way out here from Detroit? Ash is great firewood.  And all of a sudden, you've got MLH 4 spread 200 miles instead of 2 miles. And that's how it's spread. 98% of the spread has been through transported firewood that was invested with the larva. So it's really a people problem more than it is an insect problem. But we found it here. Why don't you talk a little bit about what we found? They found it up at National Life from several of the Green Ash trees there. Interesting enough, because the state forest parts and recreation is up there at National Life. And the trees were infested in about five trees cut down there that were totally infested. We know that the adults have exited some of those trees. So we know that there is more adults flying around. And we've been sort of studying this pest on its way to Montcalier since 2013. We did go to prepare this plan to deal with the pest when it got here. And it turns out it got here five years after that plan was put into place. And now we have a management plan to deal with it. And that includes trying to slow down the spread of the pest. And we won't be able to stop this pest. It's going to kill probably 99% of the ash trees in this area as it has in other places in the country. However, you can slow down that decimation if you thought that the bug will take a lot longer to kill those trees. And the way we're planning to do that is to monitor and also to act quickly when we find infested trees. So for instance, the trees at National Life, once they were noticed to be infested, they were cut down. The first batch was chipped and then put into their wood-fired boilers. So those guys were burned up. And then the next group that we found just recently this year, they were chipped into a small size. And that basically will kill the larvae because the chips will dry out. And the larvae need a good amount of material to eat so they can mature. If you have them in firewood that's maybe 16, 18 inches long, they can continue to eat and grow it there. And then if you take that firewood and you go camping, let's say in another state, you could be transporting adults to the other state. And that's how that bugs spread is people taking firewood. There's a famous case where they detected the emerald ash for in Colorado. And they were able to identify its origin being in Missouri. So somebody from Missouri went camping and took firewood with them. And so now it's probably in 35 or 36 states east of the Mississippi. Thank you, Colorado. And obviously Colorado. So the life cycle of this thing is pretty crazy, too, in that the adult flies around starting in this area in June and lays eggs right in the trunk of the bark of a tree. And that egg then hatches and develops into various stages of larva over a year or two years. So the larva is living underneath the bark and eating its way through the cambium layer. The cambium layer is that layer that provides the fluid pathway for all of the life-sustaining fluids in a tree. So after a while, this thing ends up girdling, going all the way around the tree to the extent that it kills the tree. And then this time of year, starting in about June, the larva will begin to hatch out, well, pupate, and hatch out of the tree. And the new adults will fly out, find more trees to lay eggs in. So it's a pretty insidious and rapid life cycle that results in areas where there's high infestations literally when these things hatch out, you can see them like mosquitoes. We don't have that yet here at family, but it gets pretty thick in areas. In Vermont, about somewhere around 20% of the forest is ash of one kind or another. This is green ash, typically planted in people's yards. The biggest trees in downtown Montpelier are all green ash. Then we have white ash, which is the most common in this part of Vermont in the forest. And again, roughly 20% of Vermont's, several Vermont's forests, is green ash. So these things are everything. These are the seeds forming on there. And then we have got an extra tree. We have a question as to whether both these are black ash or not. But there are not a lot of black ash around them, but black ash is an important tree because it's so on that Native Americans, in particular, use to get the wood and making the weave in the baskets. It's the only tree that you can do that with where you pound on the log and peel it off and make strips. So if it goes, there goes the whole part of the culture. So what we're doing now, you've seen the size of the bug, and we've got traps around town to try to detect the emerald ash for adults when they exit the trees. And so you'll see next to the credit union or downtown, next to three penny, and several other places, you'll see these large green triangles. There's one out here, actually. I'll put it over that way. Green traps there. And what they are is they're triangular. They have glue on the outside. And inside is a pheromone, two pheromones actually that attract the male emerald ash for. So if they're in the area, they're attracted to the trap, they hit the glue, and we check them out and find them. Unfortunately, a lot of other insects like to hit that glue. And this trap over here in this area tends to have the highest concentration of bugs per square inch of any trap I've looked at. It's amazing how productive this area is in terms of insects. John's got to get a bit of scraping the glue off. You glue on. It's a real mess. It's messy work, I'll tell you that. I have to wear gloves because that stuff is messy. So anyway, the idea is that we will, as the adults are spreading, we'll identify which areas, if they only fly two miles at most a year, and assuming nobody transports firewood in Montpelier, we'll be able to find where they are, and then really look carefully at the trees to see if they've become best. The other thing we're trying to do though, if we do detect them in any of these traps around town, we'll be broadcasting that information on the Fundsport Forum and other places, Facebook or whatever, to let people know that the bug is in your neighborhood, and it's really time to start thinking about what you're gonna do with your ash trees. Yeah, according to what we've read and the experts, if the bug is in the area, and you have trees that you wanna protect, then you would arrange for the injection of the insecticide at this time to start protecting that tree. So there are four basic insecticides that are utilized. There's only one that's recommended in Vermont, because the other three are pretty devastating other species, particularly dogs. But the one that we are now using in the downtown Montpelier trees, it has to be injected by a professional. They drill a series of holes about as big as my little finger in the base of the tree. They squirt this stuff in there, and it spreads as a systemic through the tree. When the emerald ash borer begins to eat the leaves, it kills them. When the larvae eat the cambium layer, it kills them. But it doesn't kill a lot of other insects because they don't get into the ash tree. Yeah. Is that a toxic animal? Well, it is toxic animal. Well, anyway, so I'm asking, is there a natural alternative to using it? There are none that are effective on it. We're hoping that as we slow this thing down, that two things will happen. One is other insecticides will be discovered and used. And secondly, that naturally occurring primarily wasps will be imported. They've already been imported into Canada. And you look like they're gonna be effective, but they have to have time to populate. There's also a plan to do some crossbreeding of ash trees in this country with some of the trees from Eastern Asia, so that you produce some of that resistance that those trees have in the ash trees. Y'all have a different ash tree out of it, but that's also part of the future for ash. I don't think the trees have trees either. Every two years. And how much is the cost? The cost is, if you measure the tree diameter at a point of around 54 inches, four and a half feet from the ground, you take that diameter, it's about 15 to $20 per inch of that diameter, so. What we're doing in downtown Montpelier is we're injecting these. We're planning for a 10-year injection cycle. That will give us time to grow more trees downtown. We're adding nine new trees downtown, and the ones that are not doing so well, we're replanting so that they can, we can get a 10-year growth spirit out of them. In 10 years, we can get a tree that'll be as high as a seal, if all things go well. In terms of our vulnerability in Montpelier, we've mapped out the trees along the streets that are in the right way so that that's the city's responsibility to take care of those trees, and there's about 450 of those trees that the tree board and volunteers will check annually to see if there's any signs of emerald ash board. How do we tell? And we tell the early signs, you look up in the canopy, and there's major branches in the upper canopy that are the void of leaves. That means the bug has already girdled some of those branches in the upper canopy. So it starts from the top down? It starts from the top down. See what happens is they pour their way through those little holes that were in them, and they fly up to the upper leaves there. They like sunny locations too. They go up there, they have a meal for two weeks of leaves, so they're building up their nutritional needs for mating. If you see your tree is infested and it's losing its canopy, but it still has some, that's the time to really make the decision to take it down. Another area we looked at was Hubbard Park, and if you've been in Hubbard Park, well, if you look at the state house, the background of the state house is a good portion of ash trees. And so we've alerted the state to the fact that when those trees go, you're vista on the state house and the green background that you have now will no longer be there. So they are already working on plans to deal with that. But Hubbard Park itself, just along the trails, you can see there's about 600 ash trees just along trails. And right on top of trails, within like 10 feet, there's about 170. So we have some volunteers walking Hubbard Park, taking a look at the trees, and seeing if we see any signs. Another thing that we didn't mention was the woodpeckers. And the woodpeckers are very keen on emerald ash for a larvae. They seem to be able to detect them and they take advantage of them. So one of the trees that National Life had some fairly substantial woodpeckers damage that we noticed this year, which we haven't noticed last year, and that tree was totally infested. So woodpeckers are another indicator. If you see a woodpecker coming back to a stand of ash trees on a regular basis and leaving a lot of quarter-sized holes, that's a good indication that there's something going on there that the woodpecker is keen in on. The bigger holes, if you see bigger deeper holes, generally it's not the emerald ash for these guys. They don't have to go down very far under that bark to get those. Honestly, it's hard to spot that the woodpecker damage until it's pretty advanced. The other thing that you'll see is that there'll be what we call water sprout shoots growing up, typically along the lower branches, because this tree says I'm dying and it sends out a bunch of new shoots.  Yeah, those shoots are formed because the tree has lost its leaves up at the top, so it's trying to make up that photosynthetic capacity by sending up those shoots from down below and the trunk itself. Yeah, so the plan, and it's one that I would recommend no matter where you live or how big your property is, is to monitor it and slow it down because in my opinion, we figured that if we just did nothing that in 10 years time, the city would have to spend three quarters of a million dollars to take down trees that are gonna fall on people's cars or kids or houses at three quarters of a million dollars. But if we can spread that over 10 years and manage the process, it becomes something that we can accommodate. Nobody likes it, but we did talk to city council into setting aside, they said they were under $50,000 a year and ended up being only $20,000 a year starting two years ago. So we got some money in the hopper, yeah.   But yeah, if it's mature ash, if it's an ash tree that when it does fall is gonna hurt somebody or potentially hurt somebody, then we need to manage that. But if you're not gonna harvest it and it's not a tree to care about, then it's not gonna happen. It's gonna happen anyway. The key thing is to check out what the target is for that tree in terms of what it could hit. And if it can hit something, person, vehicle, whatever sidewalk, then that should come down. Yeah. Is there an effort to save a seed bank of ash? Well, what's happened where it's already come is that these things send out shoots after they die or after they're injured. So there'll be seeds just like with them for a long time. In fact, one of the signs of infestation is the trees tend to produce more of the seeds. Yeah. Lots of, about a hundred different insect species. We'll, if we lose them all, we'll be in trouble. They depend on air. Yeah, a hundred, it's amazing. And I don't know what they are, but you can easily find that out. That's in the literature. Yeah. That's kind of cascading things, horrifying. You know, along the river here, there's butternut still, and they're all in trouble. You know, they don't live for long, but they're still throwing nuts. But that's a good example. That and the elm are right there staring at us. Here's what's gonna happen. Yeah, so we've learned downtown to diversify our trees now, and make sure we have different species, and we've finally figured that out. But one thing I noticed about the state complex yesterday I was in Waterbury, and it seems like they planted all of them to oak trees. Like, continue series of oak trees along their road. Well, in along the road right here, right along route 12 here, are seven grignac. And so this spring, the tree board volunteered, we get a lot of support from North Branch Nature Center. They donate land back here that we have a small grocery on. So we planted seven new trees between that little green ash in the road, and you know, you figure we got some. That's the mission. So on the cards I handed out, we have a EAD mailbox. If you do have questions, you can write them into that EAD on the... Lots of good information on the state website, invasives.org, VermontVTinvasives.org. VTinvasives.org. There's a whole bunch of information about all kinds of invasives, but definitely about EAD. The Machapelia Tree Board site has references to some of those also. So if you go to our site, you'll find information on EAD and other places to get information about EAD. A question about the old tree or the observation trees. Yeah. If someone has all the bark that's been removed, though, this may be our... No, we didn't. No. Tract trees. How does that work? But how do you... Tract trees? Is that what it is? Basically what it is, it's a tree that they remove the bark and started the process of killing the tree. Right. The bug is genetically evolved to detect trees in trouble. Over in the old country, those are the trees that it could attack. It couldn't attack healthy trees. So it has something in it that can detect those odors, thermos, whatever that tree gives off and is attracted to them. That becomes a tract tree. It's a magnet for the bugs. It's not gonna last very long, but it's enough to get the bugs in there. You cut the tree down and chip it and those bugs are out of the population and it helps slow the spread. That's the plan. Another option is... Is there any tract tree setup in Lumpulia? We were going to set up one at National Life, but they found out that the tree was already infested. It was time to take it down. It was amazing. Yeah, they started clearing it off and they found the gallery. Just a second, I'll get to you. Yeah, the other option with tract trees is to actually put the insecticide in them, stress them so when the insects come, they are killed. Yeah. So this part of mentions the difference between animal dashboards and native dashboards. Is that relevant in Lumpulia? Do we have native dashboards? Yes, there are dashboards, yes. In fact, if you look up in the tops of many ash trees, you'll find dead branches. And there's a lot of other ash yellows as a common kind of group of diseases. So there's a number of things that can cause problems in ash. But this one, when it gets... So generally, like the stove head is the best way to differentiate it but we might have handled that for native and native sheds. What we're doing also as part of our monitoring processes is if we notice some trees that are distressed and have that branching problem where the leaves are gone, we'll take the bucket truck and go up there, cut the branch down and strip it to look for the galleries. So we are looking for the bug on an active basis. It's early on here in Montpelier. Soon it will be pretty obvious that the bug is everywhere, but right now it's not. And it takes several years after a bug hits a tree before you notice anything. We're just not in tune to it. So we're gonna be monitoring from the plants for the next 10 years, basically. The exit holes for the adults are about that big. Just tiny little holes. So even with binoculars, it's hopeless to see them. You gotta get up there and even stare at the darn thing.  Good questions. Other ones? Have you guys encountered it at all yet? No. What are some of the natural predators in this data? A lot of them are wasps. Parasitic wasps, which you guys have talked about here all afternoon. And Toronto and other parts of Canada, Ottawa have imported these and they look like they're gonna be effective. The concern, of course, is that they don't start attacking everything. Well, they're not gonna do that. But is the climate here conducive to them populating in such a way that they can make a difference? Yeah, you have to get the numbers up of the predators before they can make a dent because these emerald ash borers will produce 200 eggs per female. So you can see how few females survive and all of a sudden you've got exponential in terms of the numbers above. Interesting enough, one of the monitoring techniques that was used in the past few years we're looking at some of the wasps that are here already that are native, that create little nests near ball fields, for instance, in sandy soil. The thing I would urge you to do is to go home and really look and see what you got that is meaningful to you. And now is the time if you want to invest in the tree to do it. And I think it's a reasonable investment in terms of expense and in terms of consequences. You know, I was horrified to think that I'm the first person in my pillow's history to recommend using an emerald insecticide. But that's what I did, because we bottled by 10 years and there's no other way to do it. We could have cut these trees down. Some of the tree in front of Necky's restaurant was planted in 1976.  And... Well, I think we all know what values trees give to the community. Besides aesthetics, it's a... John had the heat gun there. You could tell how hot it was out in the street versus how hot it was underneath the tree. It was sitting on a carpet. 150 degrees in the middle of the street. And in the shade of one of these hash trees, 80 degrees. That's different. And then the stormwater runoff aspects and the pollution aspects. Just the beauty of them would be a shame to lose them, by the way. So we're hoping that by treating them for the next 10 years or so, we'll give other trees a chance to take up the slack and provide the canopy that won't happen in the future. I did also want to say that there are three other insecticides that are not recommended. Two of those can be applied by homeowners.  It's deadly. It's nasty. Yeah, it's just not something you want to do. So there are certain people in the state, arborists or tree people who are trained and qualified to install these insecticides in. It's an injection. So it's very limited exposure to people, which is the key thing. Whereas these other insecticides are ground-spread or soaked, you soak them in the ground and you know where that stuff's going to run off to. So you definitely wouldn't want to be spreading that stuff around. Would the trees tolerate a mild electric shock? Sure, like a fence, you know, like that. And so I'm going to air you five seconds. That's a good, interesting idea. That's it. And now it's the time to set that experiment up and just keep it running for the next 10 years to see if you have side-by-side accidents with one's eyes and the other one doesn't. You might kill a tree, I don't know. I don't know. That's fascinating. I don't know. That's right. Yeah. That's right. That's right. Shocks. All the stuff on the floor. That's true. Other questions? Well, thank you for coming. Thank you for coming.


Delighted to be joined by Hans Goodinani, Senior Research Fellow at Chattopaz and Associate Fellow at the Institute for German Studies at Birmingham University. You're very, very welcome to the Institute today. Thank you for having me. Hans, I'm wondering if I start with the global shift in power has substantially altered in recent years. What do you think the European Union can do to be a more effective global actor? And then what can Germany's role be in this? Well, to be honest, I think that Europe has got, I mean, if we're talking about the EU, has enough of its own sort of internal problems, frankly. And I think that it's going to be quite difficult for the EU to play a global role until it fixes its internal problems. I mean, this is basically the whole set of problems that go back to the Euro crisis, the sort of four lines between the north and south of Europe, the west and the east of Europe, that came out particularly in the refugee crisis. And I think that those internal, those internal kind of four lines really prevent Europe from being able to play a bigger global role. So I'm rather skeptical that Europe is going to be able to play some big role as an actor. And in relation to Germany, do you think it can play more? Well, I mean, Germany I think is in many ways is a big part of the problem. I think it's holding back Europe from playing that kind of role. The most obvious way in which it does that is the way that it doesn't spend enough on security, which makes it quite difficult just for Europeans to defend themselves without, for example, American support, unless alone playing some kind of role, for example, you know, beyond European Asian security, for example. It's pretty unthinkable that, you know, it's pretty difficult to imagine how Europe can do that unless Germany starts to play a much more active role in European security. Okay, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel played a major role, a leading role in EU politics for well over a decade. But Angela Kramp-Karrenbauer was widely seen as her chosen successor and she's recently announced that she will not stand for the position of Chancellor. So how has this affected internal politics in Germany? Well, I mean, it means that there'll be sort of protracted leadership struggle, you know, in terms of who's going to become the next leader of the Christian Democrats. And that then will have a knock-on effect for who the next Chancellor will be. So it means that Germany will be preoccupied with that for the next, you know, months, perhaps a year or two even. But actually, I think that it doesn't make that much of a difference in terms of German policy.  There's such a consensus in German politics in the first place around all of the big issues, whether it's economic issues or security issues. And so I don't think the new Chancellor is going to make a huge difference one way or the other. But in any case, structurally, because of the way that German politics works with the federal system and, you know, often the need for, you know, coalition building, actually, you know, you have to sort of reach this kind of consensus with other parties anyway.  And you've described Germany as a semi-hegemon in the EU. What do you actually mean by this? And how do you think this position might be changing as well? So that's really interesting. Basically, I've been arguing for the last, you know, five years or so against the idea that Germany is a hegemon in Europe. Lots of people have claimed that it's a hegemon or a reluctant hegemon, which kind of suggests that it's not yet a hegemon, but it could be if it's overcame this kind of mental block that it has about leading Europe. I think that's wrong. I don't think Germany has the resources to be a European hegemon. In fact, I think that's one of the lessons of European history is that Germany is not big enough to be a European hegemon. And one illustration of that, one very, very simple illustration of that, is if you look at the size of the German economy as a share of the eurozone economy, so forget Britain, forget, you know, the other EU member states that aren't members of the eurozone. If you just look at the eurozone, German GDP is 28% of the eurozone's GDP. That's quite big. It's not that big. If you put Italy and France together, that's a bigger share of eurozone GDP than Germany's, which illustrates that Germany is not really in a position to be a hegemon. So I think Germany is in this kind of in-between position that it was historically as well of being a semi-hegemon. It's not quite big and powerful enough to be a hegemon, but it's also somehow too big for the sort of balance that existed in Europe previously. And so that, I think, creates a certain kind of instability. Having said all that, it's clearly not like the classical German question, which was all about military power. This is basically about economic power. So I'm not suggesting that, you know, there's any kind of danger of war in Europe. What I think is now changing is that with the uncertainty about the US security guarantee to Europe, suddenly I think now the balance between France and Germany has shifted a bit. Basically France has become more powerful relative to Germany. Germany has become a bit weaker relative to France than it was before, which I think actually could be a good thing because I think the problem went wrong in the EU in the last decade or so is with the balance between France and Germany, you know, it was basically off. And so in a funny way, I think the uncertainty about the US security guarantee could be a good thing for Europe. It could help restore the balance within Europe and ultimately it could help, I think, resolve some of the economic questions around the Eurozone that France and Germany and the rest of the Eurozone have been fighting about for a decade now. And speaking of that Franco-German relationship, it's always been described as the driving force behind the European project. How do you really see that unfolding in the future in the coming years of how that relationship will work out? I mean, I think that the first thing to say is that historically it was the driving force, but I think that with the widening of the European Union in the 2000s, that ceased to work in the way they did before. It wasn't enough anymore for France and Germany to agree on something to get wider agreement in the EU. There's a whole new set of fault lines now, particularly between West and East, and you see them on many issues, France and Germany actually on the same side of the argument, and many member states on the other side. So I don't think the Franco-German relationship in any case works in the way that it used to, at this kind of basis for a wider European agreement. But in any case, my hope, as I say, is that the new uncertainty about the US security guarantee gives France a little bit more leverage than it's had over the last decade, and that could lead ultimately to a kind of a new kind of deal between France and Germany that would be good for the rest of Europe. And finally, turning to the European Commission, the Commission has made climate change and climate action one of its key or top priorities. Where does Germany stand on the European Green Deal? Well, it's a very interesting question. Germany talks a good game on the environment. I mean, it's rhetorically very committed to preventing climate change. I mean, on the surface it looks like one of the greenest countries in the world, Germany. But actually, if you scratch the surface a little bit, actually Germany's record is not that great. And again, to come back to the Franco-German relationship, another good example of this is the way that Germany bans nuclear power but continues to rely on French nuclear power. One of the other consequences of banning nuclear power is that it's had to increase its dependence on fossil fuels. So actually, the reality is a little bit different from the rhetoric in Germany on the Green New Deal. But also, the really interesting aspect of that is that, you know, Germans are so opposed to basically Keynesian kind of deficit spending that actually a real Green New Deal is quite difficult to do in Germany, not because of the lack of commitment to environmentalism, but because of opposition, as I say, to investments, basically. So I think it's quite interesting when I compare the debate about the Green New Deal in America with the Green New Deal debate in Germany. In America, the bit that lots of Americans have a problem with is the green part. In Germany, nobody really has a problem with that, but they have a problem with the New Deal part, i.e. the idea of actually investing in a big way. So as I understand it, what's happened is that, you know, the Green New Deal European Commission is now putting forward, has been basically hollowed out, involves very small sums of money, and that's partly to do with German resistance to the idea of spending a lot on investment. Okay. Thank you very much for joining us here today. Hans, good night. Thank you.


I hope you're well. Welcome back to my channel or if you're new here. My name is seppy and welcome back to another Vlog in this vlog I'm gonna try and show you guys all the productive stuff that I want to do in this time period that I have off So I want to try and be like as productive as possible But still relaxing because like this is my meant to be my relaxation like period anyway So I feel it is good to have a balance of like not being too hard on yourself But also feeling like you're getting stuff done and like this is a almost Hopefully once in a lifetime opportunity to kind of be at home and get stuff done So that's how I like to think about it and it also gives me like goals and stuff to do for the day and some days like yesterday, I just wanted to do nothing that was my goal for the day and I'd managed to do that successfully So yeah today. I feel like I want to reorganize my room I want to put some makeup on and take some photos for my Instagram and just like stuff like that I've got a few like nitty-bitty paperwork stuff that I need to do as well both for YouTube and for Registering online with becoming a doctor you got to go through like a lot of processes with something called the GMC here in the UK So that you have to fill out forms and then they Like send you the pot to etc So that's kind of what I'm gonna be doing first things first I need coffee But guys I just want to put it out there. My skin has improved so much I've just got this little tiny blemish that came up last night But I feel like that will go away as well put some spot cream on it So I'm thinking of showing you guys maybe my skincare like Transformation in the next video if you guys are interested leave a comment down below because basically my skin really really broke out Like it was not the norm for me I know some people have like the type of skin that breaks out then recovers or like breaks out often But my skin it genuinely used to be a lot like this where it was quite clear And so when I had a bad breakout I came to you guys on a vlog for advice And a lot of you guys gave me good advice and a lot of the old stuff that I was doing really helped So I've kind of taken on both of those and also my sister Saina gave me a product as well That really helped with like targeting spots So if you guys want to see that then let me know in the comments and it can be in the next vlog Salam so big hey, she's fixing her I'm showing everyone my outfit of the day So this is my outfit the top and the shorts are both from a pretty little thing You know you're in the in the camera shot Tell them tell them what we just filmed we just filming about bullying Yeah, we just filmed a video together about cyberbullying on me is a good amount It is all in Farsi. So if you can speak Farsi, it's helpful back. I'm on a music I'm a movie Jerry goes a steam barrier bullying so hat man tamo shark only we have run out of Nespresso coffee beans So like if you watch my last vlog We had like one left and we've run out. Oh, we ever got new one. So I'm having instant coffee, huh? She ordered it. So I'm having instant coffee today, which believe it or not I actually believe like you might be a sick form when I first started drinking coffee When I was in sick for the only thing they sold was like these little instant coffees And I'd have one of those with like three sugars and milk at like 10 o'clock in the morning I'd also have one at 8 a.m. I think that was genuinely when my like a coffee addiction began because the kind of person I am like even from when I remember when I was like in year seven is like I would fall asleep like in In assemblies, I would fall asleep in class. I would fall asleep because even if I've slept well I just I would fall asleep if I haven't had any caffeine whereas give me caffeine and I'm wide awake. So like yeah, I'm Been addicted and my mom is gonna be really sad to know that I'm not gonna be giving up Red Bull Even though I promised on I finished my degree when you're at Red Bull But yeah, I have coffee this the coffee we're using we gonna put this with hot water and milk This coffee is actually really nice. I mean beggars can't be choosers, but it is nice. You know what I mean It's nice. I won't complain. I've got something. It won't be prep. It won't be Starbucks But it is what it is. So apparently there's a delivery in my porch for me that I haven't seen because I was asleep and I'm freaking out because someone My mom's making out as though it's flowers and it's like no effects, but who's gonna send me flowers It might be from song. It says dr. Sethi on it Who is this way? I don't even know who it is from I have a guess who it's from I have two guesses who it could be from but I feel like it's the first guess so This is you know how you open this They are Let me see Let me see who it's from. Okay. Let me see I think I know who it's from It's from my aunt This is from my aunt. It's not who I thought it was from But still it's from my aunt says dear step in the journey congratulations on graduating and becoming a doctor We're very proud of you and your achievements wishing you all the best for future lots of love. So here we have it the flowers They are so pretty. Thank you guys So much. I wasn't expecting this at all and I'm gonna put them in a vase That's a nice surprise delivery to receive and it's really nice to get flowers in the mail This is the second time it's happening to me this year and I feel like what is going on guys I don't actually like receive surprise flowers ever. So I feel very like Emotional about that But yeah, wow And it was really nice that she was the first person to send me something that says dr. Sethi So, thank you so much. I've had to come downstairs to do my makeup because sign is filming a video upstairs I hope I don't sound too quiet, but I just don't want to make like background noise for her video But you guys oh my god. What's I'm doing my makeup. Let's discuss has anyone seen the El Nas girl rock Follow me music video If not, please like give it a watch and see why it has been trending on YouTube So actually I've been following El Nas since when she lived in Iran I actually love her work like she's them Well-renowned makeup artists, but oh my god The music video like we just we need to discuss like let's discuss this in the comments like tell me what you think about it I Think it's really cool like the artistic direction in it and like it looks really fun But like obviously everyone has been talking about this because of how she pronounces things and how she's like Don't think you know me I think let me just play it hold on a lot of people are basically talking about how With her English accent such thing think like she's saying tink and stuff like that And obviously I've grown up in a household with like Iranian parents who English is their second language like even if they came to this country like almost Like 30 years ago English will still be their second language So like I fully get like having the accent and stuff and I feel bad for her that everyone's mocking her I don't know if she's like playing up because obviously gets a little publicity or if like that's genuinely her But I feel like it's It's a bit mean how like everyone's having to go her when English is her second language It might be and like don't get me wrong like I see it I see I see the humor humorous side to it a million percent And I see a lot of people saying why don't you just sing in Iranian seeing as like Iranian like far seas like your first language But I also see it from like the perspective that like my mom and dad Like have an accent but still love to talk English and like can communicate with more people in the world By speaking English than they do then in speaking Farsi. I'm gonna be honest though as well Like it's really really catchy like can I see myself dancing to that in like a pool party in summer in like Dubai Nikki Beach. Yeah, probably I can see myself being like follow me. Yeah, super catchy But yeah, I just want to know what you guys think last night. I stayed up and watched Jeffrey star and Shane Dawson's Latest kind of What is it called again like a conspiracy theory video like basically the the world of Jeffrey star And oh my god, like I basically started watching because I'm really like I started off being really fascinated by Jeffrey star And I ended up finishing the video Really really liking him like I just there's something about him where I feel like his whole like being like Critic critical of other people and like saying what's on his mind It's just like it's part of his personality, but like deep down. He's like a teddy bear But like Simon Cowell I really really get that vibe and like I just really really really liked him And I loved like watching him in the series because it's really like behind the scenes like you know like a vlog version of him Which I loved like Yeah, so I really like him. I know there's a lot of controversy around him I don't really know why I don't know what though I've never looked into like the tea of the beauty world So if anyone wants to fill me in in the comments Let me know because the only ones they addressed in the documentary was like the ones of like him and like Laura Lee or Something like something like they they had a group photo without him and that was his best friend like Something like they they left him out or something. I don't know what that was about and also some digs He's turned it like the Kardashians So yeah, so that's what I've been watching and also Kylie Jenner's new house guys I am in love with it. I feel like the outside bit where it's got like loads of like little cabanas Just reminds me of like a resort hotel in like Dubai. It was so it looks so beautiful on Instagram and like There's little tools of it online and I just can't help it feel like if I was a celebrity I would feel like I have zero privacy that like I've literally just moved into the place and There's like a million photos of my house already on the internet for everyone to see like me personally Like people ask me like do a house tour and I will sit and think on it I'm like, well, I'm not the only person who lives in this house Is it fair for me to like go around and like tour the house for everyone?  It is so beautiful and I I'm obsessed. I think what she's managed to do for herself and build an empire for herself is Incredible same with her same with who da who WT like building in the business world and obviously Jeffrey Like have really really killed it and like they're kind of the examples of like how you can use social media to like your advantage Like technically I feel like Kylie was the first Kind of not the first but like her like the Kardashians were all like the pioneers of Instagram Modeling and influencing and so like they've really shown like they'll pave the way the list Same with who da like in the beauty world. She was definitely she paved the way and Jeffrey is definitely up there again with with youtubers who have like done so well for themselves and set stuff up for themselves because he was saying about how like in Jeffrey star was saying in his Like a video with with Shane Dawson about how Nikki tutorials only made $50,000 off of like one of her collaborations Which I thought was like absolutely mad versus how she had like 10 million dollars in sales So yeah, it's amazing when you set up your own business how much more money you make because Jeffrey was saying how he could make like 10 million dollars off of one pallet or something so That is absolutely crazy Crazy today's nose contour also looks crazy I don't know if I really explain why I'm doing my makeup But it's basically because I want to take an Instagram picture in the outfit. I'm wearing I literally just put it on Fulfillment, but I really like it and it's like really what the kind of vibe that I'm going for right now Like at home like chill vibe like just a kind of printed tea and like I Really hope this isn't a band.
