0:05.2 | stand it up, step back, and your photos are also synced to your Chromebook, ready to edit. |
0:10.8 | The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Chromebook, available on Vodafone. |
0:20.1 | I'm John Bats with Judy Demsie of Strategic Europe. She's in Berlin. She's the editor-in-chief |
0:24.7 | of Strategic Europe, part of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, asking her colleagues, |
0:29.5 | questions, hard questions. They don't have one answer. The new question is, can the EU be a global |
