a whole host of challenges among them an ongoing humanitarian emergency with the exodus of the rohingya in myanmar then there's the wars in syria in iraq yemen and libya as well as the future of the iran nuclear deal but this year at the top of the agenda another nuclear state north korea. it is a particularly pressing issue because of the provocative timing of the latest missile test which took place just days ago the number of launches the number of tests is much greater even in this year than it's been over the last decades so this is a very immediate very immediate question and yes i think it will be the top question here this week at the u.n. this is not just the first general assembly week for the new u.s. president and tony terrorists became u.n. secretary general at the start of the year the plan is a program of modernization and streamlining president trump is also planning to

military percentage father cheat us again up today here but he did not really answer questions except to say that he was in good physical condition and that he asked for prayers from those in the room now the philippine military said the father was rescued together with another hostage early on saturday from one of the command centers of the mouth a group in the main battle zone of what are we city in the southern philippines since that siege started more than three months ago more than eight hundred people have died and more than two hundred thousand people have been this place most of my route we city is now in ruins however the philippine military says that there are still about forty hostages still under mao to take control and that the fact that the priest has been rescued and proof basically that this siege is almost over still many wonder that since military operations are closing in whether they will

a store but we are not alone there are twenty five other nations and they all brought skills was in this exercise the generals watching come from twenty five nato allies and other invited states they know where germany's red lines have always been on the battlefield this is where germany feels most comfortable helping out medical excellence logistical support that's all fine but when it comes to things like attacking other countries invading other countries killing people there is no appetite for that at all. this is heidelberg a perfect example of liberal educated germany where merkel support is guaranteed by the wealthy middle aged and middle class no doubt many take pride in the global admiration for the chancellor but asked them should germany back it up now with a more aggressive military position staying us i think germany and the rest of the war should be disarming i believe germany's doing enough for nato we shouldn't be

spending any more. it's a no brainer why germans don't like to be seen invading other countries the nazi skull has never healed when they pushed it like wrongly calling in an american air strike in afghanistan nearly ten years ago which mistakenly killed dozens of civilians there was a national shockwave and the defense minister resigns the sorts of political guilt trip that doesn't happen in the u.s. where you can nor is the most powerful country in europe impressed with how its neighbors have prosecuted wars in places like libya if we go in with military force it needs to be backed up and flanked by civilian measures as well so that is diplomatic there is civil in crisis management and there's also the idea of so what happens afterwards how do we rebuild a country which has not been necessarily the prime objective by recent interventions by other european countries u.s. president trump demands germany spend far more on defense merkel's opponents on the
