9:19 pm
that nato was not doing what they were supposed to be doing a lot of the countries and we were doing much more than we should have been doing frankly we were carrying too much of a burden that's why we call it burden sharing i was using that term a lot today burden sharing we had a fantastic meeting at the end twenty nine countries and they are putting up a lot that's applied to discuss. this is why the discussion just now was important because there was a clear commitment by old nato members that they accept this new security environment and react by strengthening and modernizing their troops germany does that as well but i also made it clear that we at the second largest provider of troops with a nice and we haven't gauged in afghanistan for d.s. this mission is a mission according to ask all five of nato which the united states was forced to ask because they experienced something terrible at the beginning of the century and this statement straits the strength of the saliva it's we help each other and we

9:33 pm
9:34 pm
a. better common understanding of the challenges that the urgency of spending more . committed. to spending and to investing in our shared security. as i think up there what the president referred to was that i was going to. announce or or share with you that specific numbers when it comes to doing. which has come in since he took office. if you look at the press release we issued yesterday i think it is table to you then you will see the numbers for the different nations based on that you can summarize and then it will see that the total number is forty one billion in constant crisis action and running or current process is even more forty one billion. extra money. is substantial by the
9:35 pm
allies agreed that we need. further substantial increase. and. then the lady behind you. thank you very much. nato solidarity is not only about funding it's also about trust and can you really say after this meeting that the european allies have as much trust that the united states would come to their defense if necessary as as they might have before these threats to go alone and also on the urgency. why would it take the united states to make that funding is needed more urgently. i mean the point is to do it for their own militaries why did why did it take this this kind of a push from the united states to make them understand that was necessary. for especially spending less than two percent more. why is that we
9:36 pm
live in a more unpredictable and dangerous world which requires that we invest more for our own security but the other is this of course that additional funds for investments from those nations spend less than two percent will help to improve. double reason to invest more it increases our capabilities to respond to a more. demanding security environment on it helps improve burden sharing within the lines i actually believe the five got to now how this increased sense of urgency through this very open and frank debate yes the on today the fact that made all the seasons all increased readiness on the new structure. many of the issues which will improve our ability to strengthen collective defense the fortean stars of the cyber operations center the other elements related to how
9:37 pm
to strengthen our collective defense combined with this unity we see. all of the open and frank discussion actually is good for nato meaning that we are stronger and more united. press. secretary general moon cook from the associated press you you said you had a very good summit i can tell you it was fairly chaotic out of the media center there with the different reports we're getting. i wonder the just a couple of things about russia the u.s. president was asked and it must be difficult to deal with someone quite so unpredictable but he was asked about whether he might consider pulling out of exercises when he meets president. junction or something like that is as he has done in the past and he was noncommittal about that he. was basically censor. so i wonder if that's a concern but also speaking of russia what's happening in greece at the moment the
9:38 pm
expulsion of russian diplomats and possible interference in macedonia referendum that has this region table is this something you concerned about as well. first we had the good summit not because it was full of pretty scripted but to cause it was really open and good discussion where we had frank but also respectful exchanges over arguments. so if you buy a good song it mean summit where everything is pre-planned prescript well that it was not done but it was a good summit meaning that we reach conclusions we made the decisions and we show that nato is delivering for me in the long run the most important thing is substance and on substance this summit that delivered. but. we also delivered the sense of understanding that we are dependent on each other that
9:39 pm
we are stronger together and that we need fair burden sharing and also an increased understanding of the urgency of that so all of that has made me to be stronger than . president trump stated in the meeting but also with the press officers that he is he's a strong supporter of nato i'm committed tonight to. the u.s. is presently in europe. and european hours are stepping up and we are increasing our ability to move forces quickly both over the atlantic with a new atlantic mom with a readiness initiative but also with the new in germany. and germany when it comes to find room. any. interference from other countries is unacceptable. we just welcome the agreement between scope and i think. this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for forum to join nato on this new name. republican
9:40 pm
on financial times. thank you michael financial times on the substance can you confirm that nothing was agreed to this. morning formally informally that commits member states to going beyond whales two percent target or indeed any other commitment and secondly what was it exactly that caused you to call this extraordinary session this morning what exactly was said and how did people react. i think all felt in this to a discussion about bird burnishing was one of the main topic during the first world working session yesterday it was also part of the discussion doing that in there then we had a good meeting with the georgia and ukraine but we felt we needed some more time to finish the discussion about perjury so therefore we are the session of. the meeting
9:41 pm
where. we i felt we all felt that we need to somewhat on for a good discussion on burden sharing and we had a good discussion about but even more important we have made we have made conclusions at this summit with which confirms our. support for nato. the importance of investing more. all our say agree that we need to deliver on our commitments this new sense of urgency. as agreed to redouble their efforts as i said is coming in more than forty billion since person from. political. side we have made. many decisions with them in the declaration and this is about making sure that we deliver on our commitments that we continue to add. more billions.
9:42 pm
general david present with can you just to follow up on that question the declaration was agreed yesterday burden sharing was not on your agenda for today so why. wasn't that had to be readdressed one in the president want to go back and that you thought was not understood and did the declaration change in any way we understand that perhaps he made some demands regarding the plans from some allies that haven't been submitted can you just clarify one because it. was not. so that. the nato secretary general giving his closing remarks after what has been a very. interesting nato summit and altering some of the points many of the correspondents you can see this going to him for clarification the confirmation of many of the of the declarations that were made by donald trump our diplomatic as is james bays is there as well been following it all for us and it
9:43 pm
seems very much as they james the issue of the claim that donald trump made that everybody had agreed to increase our defense spending to four percent is not something that is shared by all members. no allies do you know that happens the secretary general is trying to paint a positive picture on things president trump in the last few hours called effectively for an extraordinary meeting he turned the meeting on ukraine and georgia into an extraordinary meeting about defense spending something they thought they'd already settled twenty four hours. of doing that having this meeting where he said some very tough things including it seems hinting at pulling out of the alliance he went to the press and said it's great they've decided to increase their spending and he declared victory well sex general store is sort of trying to say
9:44 pm
yes there is a victory because they're all thinking now about it creates spending but when he's asked about the commitments the president truck talked about he's talking about previous see says since the president became us president eighty. months ago forty three billion dollars from nato allies has been added to their national defense budgets but that's not a figure following the extraordinary meeting that's a figure that was put out at the beginning of this summit so it doesn't seem the president trump has in the last few hours got any new firm commitments what it seems is the president decided to make a farce make a crisis a very unusual then to declare a victory and indeed and i'm just looking at comments now being reported being attributed to the italian prime prime minister. and he apparently saying that italy has made absolutely no promise to increase defense spending so it is
9:45 pm
very much as though as as you point out you know the president of this always very good isn't painting himself as the victor as having gone into a confrontation and one then it seems very much to say this is what he's done in this on this occasion. yeah the same coming from president mccraw from c. says they've made no firm commitment so we've seen a pattern here i think it's pretty similar to the singapore summit on north korea where he again said it was a major breakthrough but werther actually any firm commitments i think what has come out of this nato summit is divisions in exposed as a way they've never been exposed before and question marks about the u.s. his commitment to nato where will that be welcomed well it'll be welcomed in moscow by president putin who president trump is saying in just three days time and it's worth telling you on that summit he was very positive about what he could achieve with president putin and did not mention what what he thought about crimea all
9:46 pm
right thanks for that james raiser diplomatic editor same with us here at al-jazeera lots more to come in the next hour. if only the fish we see today the weather sponsored by cattle have always. hello there it's not quite as cold as it has been for some of us in argentina now the temperatures have recovered but you can see of the still see a fair amount of clouds drifting its way eastwards and is this over the southern
9:47 pm
parts of chile this thickest and that will give us some wet weather that for the first day to the north of that very santiago looks fine and dry for us twenty degrees is the maximum on thursday rising to twenty two as we head into friday so plenty of warm sunshine for us but the central america is here there is more in the way of cloud and actually this cluster here this cluster of showers it is the remains of it on storm with cool barrel and you can see it still affecting us in the bahamas and it's still going to stick around not only for thursday but also on friday as well elsewhere more in the way of sunshine but still want to showers coming and going at times lots of showers there was you had through parts of panama and into costa rica here it does look really quite wet throughout the day further north there's also quite a few active areas of weather across parts of north america you can still see one or two thunderstorms sparking off in the southern part of our map and then some more persistent cloud just making its way through parts of canada down towards the great lakes that system still with us during the day today and stretching down into
9:48 pm
the southwestern parts of the u.s. we could do with some rain here so that's good news but some of the showers could be rather heavy the weather sponsored by qatar airways. this is zero. hello welcome to this al-jazeera news live from doha imo team that is coming up in the next sixty minutes donald trump says he's got his way at the. summit the allies agreed to spend more on defense after a stormy start and some long debates in brussels. but will more spending on defense
9:49 pm
have other implications we'll look at the political challenges and the response from russia. disappearances torture death amnesty international says what happened in yemeni prisons and the u.a.e. control should be investigated as war crimes and sport the latest from the world cup in a rush out i. really should fans celebrate as their team reached their first ever world cup final after knocking england at the finals. well he went in on the attack with a letter from his allies and donald trump has emerged from the nato summit with pretty much a lot of what he wanted also he says the u.s. president has left the meeting now reaffirming his country's commitment to nato saying the member states have agreed to significantly boost defense spending now mr
9:50 pm
trump triggered an emergency meeting on the second day of the summit in brussels he repeal repeated his complaint that the allies all sticking to their commitments and little shrugged on until he emerged buoyant and triumphant. the united states'. commitment to nato is very strong remains very strong but primarily because everyone the spirit they have the amount of money they're willing to spend and the additional money that they will be putting up has been really really amazing to see it to see the level of spirit in that room is incredible and i hope that we're going to be able to get along with russia i think that we probably will be able to the people in the room think so but they nevertheless they really stepped up their commitment and stepped it up like they never had before well he didn't say exactly how much the nato allies will spend but he said that it will be
9:51 pm
done much more quickly they'd already agreed to spend up to two percent of national income by the year twenty twenty four that mr trump does want that to go up to four percent but the french president is crawl doesn't think that's a good idea at all just a short while ago he said there's no change to the two percent though. are this go live to our diplomatic at this again space is there at the summit in brussels and james as ever with a donald trump intervention there are more questions than answers. yeah well president trump came here and it was almost as he came here with a plan even though he had spoken to allies about nato defense spending in previous hours including at a dinner where he apparently was much more cordial on the subject he came back here to nato the smalling and seemed determined to raise the issue again then blew up
9:52 pm
the summit see force there to be an extraordinary meeting called there had been a meeting going on involving nato and ukraine in georgia they were last to leave the room while they could again discuss the issue of defense spending he was very tough in that meeting hinting that perhaps he might even pull out of the alliance and then afterwards walked to the press and declared victory but did he actually get anything new we just heard from the secretary general of nato yes stoltenberg and he said yes president trumps efforts on this subject is why nato allies have been spending more but didn't get any more in the last few hours any firm commitments i think the answer is is no i having spoken to nato allies they say there were no new firm commitments made and and yet the donald trump strategy which we're now becoming familiar with is is one of disrupting the conventional
9:53 pm
procedure the normal way of doing things and sometimes he does sort of shatter the complacency doesn't it. he certainly does certainly talk sometimes creates opportunities you need to look at north korea how did that summit in singapore get created well i think it was the disruptive style of donald trump but then you have to look at what was achieved at that summit in singapore and you see something a little similar to match a lack of firm commitments yet the president declaring a victory what has come out of this nato summit what's been achieved well i think it's expose. divisions within nato who is going to be pleased about well i think it's the russian president vladimir putin who in three days time is meeting president trump president trump was all about that forthcoming summit he was very positive indeed he was also asked about crimea and the russian annexation of crimea given a number of opportunities to talk about that and he made no comment on his views
9:54 pm
about that whether russia should be allowed to give to key crimea or as nato says what is the declared position of all the nato allies that russia should give it back to ukraine all right james thanks for that one as you can see on your screen donald trump has arrived in the u.k. this is stansted airport this is just outside of london actually this is in essex there we've seen lined up ready to take him a couple of helical helicopters one of course marine one which will take him to the u.s. ambassador's residence official residence in london which is in regents park in the center of town in the middle of a very beautiful royal park and later on no doubt you will be seeing the great fences that have been erected around winfield house correspondent there will be going to him a little bit later on but there you see the president of the united states and the first lady having arrived in london from that rather stormy tempestuous nato summit
9:55 pm
leaving behind many of his allies questioning what exactly was achieved so that's the scene there just outside of london let's now go to moscow and speak to our correspondent there rory chalons and rory interesting isn't that. when he was asked about this meeting that's coming up with mr putin on monday in helsinki he said this is all very loose and we'll see what happens it was incredibly rare seemed incredibly relaxed about it. well that's kind of the donald trump style isn't it he seems to go into the very very high profile high pressure summits having done not very much preparation indeed he seems to make. out that this is a good thing that kind of flying by the seat of his pants is a way for him to be allow to the opposition and to do what he does best get the
9:56 pm
deal that's the trump way isn't it but i think the russians certainly vladimir putin will be coming into the helsinki summit having made a great deal of preparation also having being having paid close attention to what trump has been doing over the last few days there have been watching his ball in a china shop routine that he's been doing at the nato summit he will be producing will have watched what trump has done with is sort of questioning of the u.s. commitment to nato and i think will be rubbing his hands with a certain amount of believe over certain aspects of this of course russia does not like nato never has that has not changed in the post soviet period and of course it wasn't the case in the time of the u.s.s.r. so anything that the stabilisers nato is received warmly in moscow but of course there were things that don't trump has been saying over the last couple of days
9:57 pm
which haven't gone down well and the kremlin has been responding to day remarks that donald trump made yesterday when he called germany a captive of russia because of the energy deals that it is doing at the moment particularly the nord stream to pipeline the kremlin's response to all this has been that europeans should be allowed to choose who they get their energy from not the united states germany says the kremlin is not a captive of russia in fact these two countries are dependent on each other because of. the interaction on the energy markets the kremlin says that the u.s. is actually trying to. enforce fair competition by trying to prise russian got gas out of europe and allow space for american l.n.g. to come in at a higher price and russia says it's always been a reliable energy partner and is competitively priced on gas and therefore it's
9:58 pm
russia that europe should carry on doing business with all right rory thanks for that really challenge our correspondent there well now we can speak to fabrice party who's made his former director of policy planning and he's now the chief strategy officer at the rasmussen global that's a political consultancy base in brussels from where he joins us live thank you very much indeed what do you make then of this very fractious nato summit. yes i think what we saw is two summits and one there was a charm summit which was made of the atrix. letter as they occur issues off the cuff and then you had the official summit which actually went pretty well and produce a company statement if you want to use pretty robust in the has a lot of concrete decisions the problem is whether those two summits much together and whether the political does unity that try and peace creating is sustainable for
9:59 pm
nato and what is the the basic division then you can see the he soon among the nato allies those who are paying two percent of their national income on the defense spending and those who aren't is that the rift is. well. the european leaders know that they have to do better on defense spending they themselves actually join and signed the pledge that was agreed in twenty fourteen trampy pressure that urgency in a kind of bullying way and i think it's rather counterproductive because how can a european leader then turned to his taxpayer and say well we have to increase defense spending because of what donald trump is saying obviously that's not going to fly in domestic politics so i figure it's creating some real tensions not only because he's bullying his argument through the other leaders but also because he's making their mission impossible absolutely and he's forgetting that they have each
10:00 pm
of them has their own constituency but his claim that there has been overall agreement to increase to four percent of g.d.p. to spend on defense i mean that's already been shot down by the italian prime minister who says he knows lehman to increase. defense spending at all and indeed emmanuel macro of france saying that that is not the case yeah i think until we see a black and white documents saying there's a new target we have to be skeptical what seems to have emerged from this emergency session is basically the european leaders have left try and place fear tricks and call victory and drive home the message that he's getting a better deal for america with nato. seems in fight there was no hard commitment no new target agreed by nato heads of states there were just some verbal.
