eruptions reflect the mood of the goddess. us as native hawaiians to perry is always nice to us whether she takes our home or not we accept this type of event. we have to do so even if we're going to put up with your put up with. it what a way to begin donald trump attacks germany as a captive of russia as he sits down with the nato chief ahead of his big summit with leaders. hello welcome to al-jazeera live from doha i'm martine denis also coming up. nato in trouble already set to cache the spending what will this mean for the summit that's yet to even start. let the oil flow again the libyan war in the world agrees

to hand control of keep coal. to schoolmates of thailand's rescue boys celebrate outside the hospital where doctors say all are in good health plus. well it will supposed to be the meeting that threw russia's out differences with allies but the nato summit in brussels is already looking rocky a breakfast meeting between u.s. president trump and nato secretary general yen stoltenberg descended into a trump let all this before the formal talks even begin within the past half hour or so leaders from nato countries have begin have begun to arrive at the summit and including mr trump who arrived here maybe five ten minutes ago. we got three correspondents and. cross this story we have got. in brussels watching these

arrivals with this diplomatic it is a james space and in a little while we'll go to germany kane our correspondent who's in munich and we've also got rory chalons our correspondent in moscow but james starting off with you this rather unfortunate start to the day between this this as you say we're calling it we calling it a bit of a lecture but it was donald trump really setting out his stool wasn't it in very plain direct almost aggressive terms to. yes and criticizing his closest allies and focusing on one ally in particular germany it seems to me to have been particularly well to be deliberate almost an ambush because what happened was the reporters were invited in as they always are for these meetings to see the handshake and the opening comments while the

reporters were allowed to stay they were taught should out by the white house press minders i'm allowed to watch the exchange on the very angry comments from president trump. now could you look at it germany is a captive for a ship because they supply they get rid of their coal to get rid of the nuclear they getting so much of the oil and gas from russia i think it's something that they are asked to look at i think it's very appropriate for you and i think we did it appropriate i don't know what you can do about it but it certainly doesn't seem to make sense that they pay billions of dollars to russia and now we have to defend them against russia. not make a stand on still trying to find nations there are sometimes differences on the different views and also some disagreements on the gas. from russia to germany small issues because of these three but the sinful nature is the despite these

differences we have all been able to unite to romo for poles good to protect on the show the people from the sound of your story together that. you got through world war from the cold war for the last going to go or. how are you going to get what a country is getting its energy from the person you want protection against or simply because from the start of the one we stand together also when dealing with russia we are stronger i think what we have seen is no you just think you russia rich or well the deal with russia making the rich richer. you know even all the war made vosper trading with russia of the owner of the in this remains a vote on trade agreements we should certainly trade is wonderful i think energy is a whole different story. energy is a much different story than normal trade and you have a country like poland or accept yes you take

a look at something that is they don't want to be captive to rush for germany as far as i'm concerned just kept it to russia as it's getting so much energy for. so listen for suggestions getting their energy from russia explained to me. as you. so james really. settling beginning. at this nato summit will it be rail what can the rest of the members actually want to achieve and that is among other things they want to really affirm their commitment to spending for instance increasing their spending to minimum of two percent of g.d.p. . yes and they say they have a plan to do this over a period of twenty fourteen from twenty fourteen sorry twenty twenty four of all nato allies by that stage spending two percent of their g.d.p.

we're going to watch this play out some of it live on television important events in the next hour because soon we're going to see all twenty nine leaders we're going to see chancellor merkel with president trump. in the next hour they'll be there for what's known as the family photograph but this is a family with a feud a very open a feud now they're also going to watch a fly past by helicopters in the next hour and importantly after that in just over two hours time we're told by the white house that there will be a meeting between chancellor. and president trump a very interesting meeting we're told this time the cameras will not be present to be a fly on the wall for that meeting and just before we move on james just tell us a little bit better about the upcoming likely meeting between donald trump and justin trudeau of course he was the leader that he attacked and insulted. on air

force one after the g. seven. absolutely he called him a weak leader as soon as the g seven had come up with their prepared declaration on air force one he said he wasn't going to sign it and the turks the canadian leader they have had quite good relations previously what will the interaction be like at this summit we'll have to watch to see if there is another clash between those two but of course it's possible that this president might choose to pick on another of the nato leaders all right for now james thank you very much james there is a diplomatic editor at the brussels nato summit. we can now go live to munich in germany and speak to our correspondent there dominic cain now dominick they've long had a rather uncomfortable relationship haven't they mrs merkel and president trump but this time he has been completely uncompromising in terms of fingering her for being

the rascal in the room if you like the person or the country that is most at odds with his view of the world. yes and a captive of russia to boot martino's were his words compare those words with the force of his language but with a more measured tones than your merkel has given to reporters on her arrival at this nato summit in brussels saying that she recalled growing up in east germany communist east germany which was dominated by the soviet union and how glad she is germany now to reunite. if the federal republic of germany is able to supply its own course to supply its own path to be to rejoice in freedom of being united and she also said the germany plays a large role in the case that germany has many troops in afghanistan but germany has a role beyond its own borders there are german troops in some of the baltic states

for example pointing out in her measured way how she feels that the analysis that president trump is following is wrong about her country and there are many of course of us remember that picture from the g seven where no matter what the facts were just step here it is angle americal was leading the rest of the g seven leaders against donald trump as he sat there with his arms folded looking rather petulant so this is not going to do anything for their other fraught relationship. well the funny thing is that that idea is conveyed by the image you're talking about that not seen is an idea that that's going around in media circles and and elsewhere in germany for some considerable time this idea that angle americal as it were has become almost a de facto leader of the free world it's not a title that she would seek for herself but it's if you want a demonstration of the view that many people in germany have indeed some across

western europe have that the president in the white house is not quite what doesn't have the same role as his predecessor for example did in western europe certainly there are those in high government circles in germany who are increasingly concerned about the pronouncements of president trump and you can see that the the world relationships that angle america is trying to encourage now specifically for example with china the premier of china nico chang was here in germany just a few days ago and went to the news conference and before the news conference there was a whole slew of deals being signed. in the full glare of the press courage photographers to photograph the people signing the deals that sort of thing a clear sign as it were of how many countries not just germany china but others to believe that the way to conduct diplomacy is through this the existing system of rules and that's something the angle america might well try to impress on president

trump in that private meeting james is referring to that takes place in a few hours dominate came live you mean it thank you now let's go to our correspondent rory chalons who's in moscow and it was on the surface of it do you think the people in the kremlin will be rubbing their hands together with glee this discord that's being said and among nato pretty much similar to that that was saying among the g seven. i think they'll certainly be looking aspects of this positively they'll be looking at the trump wrecking ball in action and as you say rubbing their hands with glee to a certain extent because of course the view in russia the view in the kremlin is that nato is an organization that masquerades as a sort of collective security. organization bartz that actually what it really is is an imperial projects run from washington d.c.

that basically has the constraining of russia as its core its core focus so anything that can be stabilized nato is a good thing and this is one of the reasons of course why the russians were so keen on donald trump winning the two thousand and sixteen election and hillary clinton losing it because donald trump is obviously not a transatlantic system and hillary clinton definitely was watt's they will not like certain aspects of this in moscow and the aspects they won't like is the fact that donald trump is using russia as the bogeyman here basically saying that the germans are being hypocritical by asking the united states to defend them at the same time as being held captive by russia because of buying lots of russian gas the other thing that will worry those in the kremlin is that this is attacking

a key plank of russia's economic security and foreign policy security energy exports is pretty much the main way that russia has to be years both supported itself economically and also maintained a foreign policy presence outside its borders because of all these gas exports particularly into western europe so anything that weakens that donald trump does seem to be weakening that. weakening or trying to weaken at least that western european purchasing of russian gas will worry those in the kremlin there is something else to talk about here though and that is the view that is how old it here in russia but also in other parts of europe particularly in germany has to be said that there's something else going on here there's something else behind this american opposition to russian gas exports into europe and that is essentially that america it's believed wants to get in on the energy market place in western

europe that if it can force russia out that basically gives an in for the united states and its liquidnet natural gas exports because for as long as russia is there with its cheaper pipelines american l.n.g. is not going to get much of a look and so if it can force russia out than that obviously gives donald trump's mercantile transactional foreign policy perspective these days much more potential thank you very much roy hallums there live in moscow that china is accusing us of bullying and rule and it would hit back at any further trade terrorists imposed by washington on wednesday the u.s. escalated a tit for tat tariff or more by threatening new charges on two hundred billion dollars worth of new chinese goods beijing called the move other acceptable to more and it would impose countermeasures if the u.s.

than two percent on wednesday morning the nikkei index in tokyo dropped also by one percent the markets are worried about inflation and about economic growth china meanwhile is taking measures to try to insulate its economy it's reaching out to other countries that have fallen out with the united states over trade germany in particular the chinese premier has been in germany earlier this week he talked up the prospect of new trade deals between the two countries and next week china will be hosting e.u. leaders at a summit here in beijing where the theme is going to be free trade over protectionism . there's a lot more to come here at al-jazeera including a lengthy legal saga and is its end in germany as the last survivor of a german underground nazi cell is found guilty very involved in a series of murders. the child had ministrations struggles to explain why i can't
