no me gusta war. is what sobs down for you yeah there's always the bad guy exploring the dark side of american justice system with joe on al-jazeera. germany as far as i'm concerned this captive to russia because it's getting so much energy from. donald trump kicks off a nato summit with a surprise attack on germany accusing it of being controlled by russia is also told nato leaders to raise defense spending to four percent of the g.d.p. double the previous demand. live from london also coming up. the first images emerge of the twelve toyboy is

recovering in hospital after their dramatic rescue from a flooded cave system. trying to accuses the u.s. of bullying and says it will hit back after a child threatens new tariffs on chinese goods. and zimbabwe's opposition rallies outside the election agency demanding reforms before this month's vote. and our u.s. president donald trump has told nato need is to increase the defense spending to four percent of the country's economic output that's double his previous demand and the group's original go trouble so open the summit in brussels with a public attack on germany which he says is a captive of russia trump's outburst against germany came in his meeting with nato secretary general he stole from bug. now if you look at it germany is a captive corporation because they supply they get rid of their call to get rid of

their 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 you're right if we did it at a brokerage i don't know what you can do about it but it certainly doesn't seem to make sense that they paid billions of dollars to russia and now we have to defend them against russia. not makes the nonsuch trying to find nations there are some problems differences on them to do something else and some disagreements on that i've got so. far from russia to germany smallish or cards that disagree but the simple nature is that despite these differences we'll all be able to unite to romo or calls to to protect on the other people from the front of your store or to give them a call. for germany as far as i'm concerned just kept it to russia as it's going to be so much energy for. so listen first effects germany are getting their

energy from russia explained that any every really. who responded to the criticism when she arrived at some into setting german independence and citing her own experience in soviet controlled east germany made for a tense meeting between the us president and the hours later but the president struck a more amenable to own describing relations between the countries as tremendous and his own relationship with the back was very very good. a diplomatic go to james bays in brussels and joins us live so to talk us through this this new figure that's a measure trump are now asking nato leaders to raise contributions to defense putting it to four percent of g.d.p. . or we are talking about a suggestion from the u.s. president so he must be serious but i would imagine most of the allies don't think it's a serious proposal there's no way politically they'd be able to fund something like that just imagine the effect of this you're going to double the size of all of

europe's militaries that i think is something that would antagonize russia and tiger nies china upset peace campaigners around the world so i don't think there's any way at all this is going to happen begging the question why did president trump praise it and it's worth saying that in the final communique this is the final communique although the summit has a second day of what they want to achieve signed by all the leaders they do not refer to all to four percent in fact they say they make their unwavering commitment to the previous decision for a plan to move to two percent of g.d.p. to be spent on their defense budget city each of the countries by twenty twenty four but even then when they repeat that old pledge which donald trump says it's not enough they then admit further down in the next paragraph that actually one

third of them all give them a twenty twenty four just for two percent not four percent and james you suggest they were the kind of communiqué already appearing even before day two then these things are normally quite choreographed and in this case they were overshadowed by trump's attack on merkel. although i think that attack was also choreographed president trump showed real destruction on the cheese seven and i think he thinks it played. well back at home with his base the president of the america first. administration coming and telling other countries things that they do not like because the press were invited in for that meeting with the nato secretary general and they were allowed to stay as he made his extraordinary attack on germany interesting too that when he actually meets the german leader a few hours later he doesn't say any of those things he's much more conciliatory this may be because we've seen in the past that this is

a president who sometimes avoids confrontation when he's face to face with someone or the two sides have dug a little bit of a truce for now but there's been serious damage done here. james frey's thank you very much indeed. with a german reaction to trump's words. the general tenor of president trump's remarks regarding germany's contributions to defense spending in so far as its role as a nato member country have being negative for some considerable time not just as president but also as candidates and he railed against what he considered to be the insert fissions amount of money being spent by the german government the point to make here is that for the german government they have committed to raising their defense spending to the correct ratio in the nato summit in wales in twenty fourteen but both main parties that vied for the chancellorship in last year's general election very clear that they were not going to reach that kind of target

in the life of this parliament frankel americal when she heard president transfer marks she chose to speak to reporters saying effectively that is somebody who'd grown up in communist east germany she was very grateful now to live in a free country not dictated to by other countries where germany could plow its own pharo politically that's something she i think that she has returned to the question will be what sort of fall out there will be long term regarding the nature relationship take you leave between germany and the united states this summit is a very important occasion for the twenty nine member countries question as i say is what will emerge from it. we're sick couple of hours away from kickoff in the second world cup semifinal

england to play in croatia for a place in the final against france they speak to the wellings who's at the england fans in hyde park in london so i suppose hysteria is probably about the right level of wood for the excitement is building around the sky. there are events going on all across. this despite having a reputation for having less and finest like the one nine hundred sixty six world cup old english a lot of english fans on stopped talking about that because it needed so. there was a glorious time of all the people talk about if you will. but it was you all ninety six where the song focus was coming home was born and that was about the total being pleasured because right now in the succeeding in russia this is this was meant to be both sides but what's happened is they think i'm surprised. that tens

of thousands of fans have tickets and i can tell you these england fans have all been something to expect to win this match and it's a don't want a big false in the final really at the start of this tournament people want to. start. with these are really colorful now study shows which was expected of him great because. i don't know we saw. boxing sponsors the store sold out of boy scouts this. is a very well know where you want your waistcoat. but. people often talk to him and talk about him as a kind of guy who is just too nice to be a football manager how is he so turn this round and produce the side that seems to be able to win under under pressure. what he's. talking about. a few people have been surprised by my story. and when it was almost certain

the one of the reasons that he got the job a couple of years gone was because he was so polite he didn't look like the head for the front. of the chopping off the pitch but what he's done is easy i'm still hopeful that soon the single players should go along express themselves just that through the system. this is by the ordering. that got to win a conflict in the past of course the power lies i feel it in having quite brilliant teams in this tournament. i mean. it's like nothing nobody from the south of these are the cheat then coming up against a live shot you're talking about it so you know there's not a nation that's large for the change that is fairly sure. because particularly in the fields close a lot of problems for a brother in the woods but ours was going on. thank you very much indeed. libya's national oil corporation says it's reopening key oil terminals following

including the determination of serious culpability is consistent and correct michelle is not a woman who was unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time rather she is a national socialist a racist and a murderer and she know has a hard bed to law in but she made her own bed and it will no probably be hers to law in for a long time to come the case against schip but was that she was a willing accomplice in a three person cell targeting members of the turkish community their first victim was killed in nuremberg in two thousand and was a thirty eight year old businessman who ran a group of flowers stalls at the time police struggled to find a motive. but we now know that shem shakes death was the start of a killing spree that would touch seven different german cities between two thousand and two thousand and seven claiming ten lives three people were killed in nuremberg two more were murdered in the bavarian capital munich the other five in cities

outside bavaria eight of the victims were from the turkish community in all cases the victims were shot in the head at close range but what this map doesn't show is that after the last killing it took the authorities almost four years to track down the cell and then only after two of them had carried out an armed robbery been cornered by the police and then shot themselves before they could be arrested. it fueled accusations of incompetence by the authorities with some people suggesting some officers might have colluded with the. families of the victims say their ordeal has been made worse by the time it took for the trial to happen. why did the murderers choose my father i can't and won't simply believe that it was a coincidence four hundred thirty seven days of investigation and these questions weren't answered i have no closure because i have the feeling that not everything was done that could have been done because i'm sure that other accomplices are still walking around after her fellow conspirators deaths handed herself in to
