our commitment to the hard no hard border in between was an advantage but crucially delivers on the voter the british people to take back control of our money our laws and our borders more now from our correspondent lauren three in london for the significance of course of this publication of the documents is that eventually the european union has a position from the u.k. side which it can negotiate with after more than two years since the vote because only about five weeks left in the go stating time before they have to come to an agreement or the u.k. crashes out and so having done this now next week the u.k. politicians will run over to brussels and to see what they can or can't agree with with the european union over this but it's not only the e.u. that the government has a problem with if the politicians inside their own party because some of them on the really really hard core and say european side is so incensed at the idea that the u.k. mights keep a very small trading agreement going with the european union that they started calling to reason made the prime minister a traitor and comparing her to neville chamberlain who before the second world war

tried to appease the nazis that's the sort of psychology that the government in this country has to deal with with politicians inside his own policy let alone the european union so while this is going on donald trump turns up and of course reason may can turn to trump when they have their meeting in checkers on friday and say look we're leaving the european union now we want to do a trade deal with you but of course she has to assume that trump is going to want to do a trade deal with the u.k. and not impose a sort of tariffs on the hostile economic behavior that it wants that it's had towards the european union and the chinese and other people so it is a gamble for the breakfasters to assume that trump is going to want to play with this new u.k. freed from the european union because it implies that he will want to sort of do a friendly trade deal and not be hostile. still to come here is there are. eighty years in suspense people are angry the prime minister that so far has refused to step down protesters that demand that he does give rules on to

oil customers appear to be succumbing to u.s. pressure after withdrawing from the twenty fifty nuclear deal president trump urged importers of the rainy and oil to find alternatives and there are now signs that many a cutting back many of the honda reports. iran exported little more than a million barrels of oil a day before the nuclear deal and its top four customers were in asia nuclear sanctions were lifted iranian exports have now more than doubled but these four asian nations still consume a big share that goes some way to explaining the significance of reports that india japan and even south korea are heeding the u.s. demand to stop importing iranian oil and why iran is now threatening to block the strait of hormuz the vital seaway for the world's number one or oil exporter saudi arabia as well as around other oil producing rivals in the gulf. donald trump with the truth from the iran nuclear deal two months ago we will not allow regime

the homes of a better when community and now safe from demolition at least for now after it was temporarily blocked by the israeli supreme court. was set to be cleared despite it being this is before israel's occupation of the area more than fifty years ago live now to our correspondent in west jerusalem harry forces in the hurry what's the significance then of this judicial ruling. well it does at least provide a stay of execution for the community of nearly two hundred people live there and as you say the is the full machinery of the israeli state and israeli military had been gearing up it seemed in recent days to begin this long threatened demolition what we have is a petition that was filed by activists last week in which they said that when they offered a new plan a new master plan to the israeli civil authority which would have seen that the
11:12 pm
bedouin community made into a proper permanent village with plumbing and electricity and all the rest of it that was rejected out of hand and so they are petitioning against the demolition on the basis that this alternative wasn't fully explored and so there hasn't been a huge amount of optimism among the lawyers who've been acting on the behalf of this community but they do at least now have this ruling from the israeli supreme court which rejected the government's response to just dismiss this out of hand and said no there is a need for a full hearing and that hearing will happen at some stage before august the fifteenth in the meantime the palestinian or forty's and activists have decided to bring the school year the academic year forward from its usual start date in late august and make it next monday instead so they want to get the children this the school there serves one hundred children from areas around this bedouin village to
11:13 pm
start that as soon as possible to give some other kind of impediment or at least add to the pressure against this impending demolition and harry we don't often hear much about the bedouin community in this region dili we hear about arabs we hear about genes and how many are there and how do they stand in this occupation by israel. well in terms of this location in the occupied west bank there are some eighteen or so of these small villages as i say kind of mar is about one hundred eight hundred ninety people they live a very traditional very conservative life and it is one where they very much hew to traditional ways of doing things in terms of agriculture as well and so they were displaced from their original homes in the southern negev desert in one nine hundred fifty this particular community and put in the in the the west bank.
11:14 pm
displaced again before they finally found a home here and as i say there are eighteen such places and what is important about them in this particular area is that they lie in the way of a long held plan by israel the so-called one settlement plan which would really complete the encirclement of east jerusalem by legal settlements in the occupied west bank really almost split the occupied west bank into sort of southern and northern sectors and that is why there has been such a campaign against this not just on behalf of the relatively few people who live in this place but because of what it could enable the israeli government to do and it's not just palestinian activists there are international efforts that have been going on to try and stop this. large number of western governments have been selling their diplomats to this community as world to a large they're processed so it is about more than just this one village but it is
11:15 pm
seen as very important this one village and that's why even if this is only a temporary stay of execution buying a little bit more time there are calls for that time to be used to try to increase the pressure on the israeli government how he thought it live in leicester thanks the pressure is mounting on haiti's prime minister to resign despite jacques fountains decision to. that's. a vote of no confidence for this weekend the days of violent demonstrations. protesters again on the streets unlike the demonstrations over the weekend these remained peaceful the police closely watched the crowd and shut it down before the demonstration could grow in size the protesters say they will be back to underline their demand for the resignation of haiti's prime minister. the prime minister's trying to hold on to power his government in crisis after his call for
11:16 pm
sharp fuel increases nearly a week ago set off the protests he spoke briefly after meeting with the head of the parliament he gave no indication of any plan to step down. this morning and met with the head of the national assembly joseph lambert and we talked about our common interests and how we can move forward from the current crisis. has only been prime minister for seven months he had never held public office before there is now a growing consensus here both with the business community and also with the poor that his government is weak and his days in power are numbered. a vote of confidence has been scheduled in the parliament percenter day there is intense pressure on the prime minister to step down before then. a change of government won't fix anything the problem is the system it's rotten and can't bring change on its own we need to change the whole political system otherwise there's no hope for
11:17 pm
haiti. i hope the parliament votes the prime minister out of office we need a government that's more representative and a prime minister who can bring people together. more protests are expected in the days to come some haitians worry that if the prime minister reith uses to go it could provoke the opposition and raise the risk of even more violence. for now most here believe it's not a matter of if but when gabriel is on doe al-jazeera port au prince it's a centenary of the birth of nelson mandela and letters written to his family during the twenty seven years he spent as a political prisoner have now been published the new book is a glimpse into the south african icons face in the struggle against apartheid donahoe records. for twenty seven years in prison nelson mandela's communications with the outside world consisted mainly of letters written from his prison cell words were his principal means of keeping alive friendships and family ties
11:18 pm
religious faith and political conviction our cause is just it is a fight for human dignity and for an honorable life often heavily censored or never delivered at all most of the letters appear in a new volume of mandela's prison writings launched in johannesburg this week many published for the first time offer a new insights into one of the world's most famous figures during some of his darkest times it's one of those milestone books that will open a chapter of our rules need not just our vision that freedom didn't just come free just tough that madiba to feel the pain i did is message is one we can all learn from that we all need to do something good in the world in which we live wherever we are to make sure that this kind of life that he had to live through will never happen again some of mandela's captors became confidants
11:19 pm
others proxies for the wider struggle against south africa's apartheid government should like us to fight over principles and ideas and without personal hatred so at the end of the battle whatever the results might be i can proudly shake hands with here. a recurring theme is the pain of family separation. the father of five who missed the funeral of his eldest son and wasn't allowed visits from his toddler daughters until they term six. do not worry about me now i am happy well and full of strength and hope the only thing i long for is you in meticulous handwriting after their mother winnie was arrested yet again mandela offers the support of an absent parent my darlings once again our beloved mommy has been arrested and now she and daddy are away in jail she gave up pleasure and comfort in return for a life full of hardship and misery because of the deep love she has for her people
11:20 pm
and her country the letter concludes we have a lot of friends and they will look after you and one day mommy and daddy will return jona whole al-jazeera. t.v. to take a look at the top stories here it out of there nato member states have reaffirmed their base their defense spending to two percent of national income by twenty twenty four president trump said the allies had agreed to significantly more increase in their spending but the french president said there's no increase in the two percent rise have been agreed on since the faulty after brussels mr trump landed in london prime minister trees in may is hoping for a transatlantic trade deal after brics it during his three day visit he is going to meet queen elizabeth and take

11:22 pm
and what it could mean for the. trooping into downing street a brand new minister and a brand new foreign minister surrounded by revamped cabinet to resume a survives as prime minister after a turbulent few days but in the current state of british politics there's no guarantee that living to fight another day means any more than just that reason to senior ministers resign in protest of what the reason may has chosen as her preferred approach to breaks it a business friendly strategy with close trade ties to the e.u. some of those who favored a clean break have called it a sellout among them now former foreign minister and titan of the campaign boris
11:23 pm
johnson and david davis the minister who had been in charge of negotiations with the e.u. there had been concerns inside downing street the widely thought to cover the top job. the prime minister but that would require the support of. supporters in cabinet and downside the reason may said she was looking forward to getting on with a busy week the prime minister trying to give the impression of a leader in crisis. well the resignation letter so prime minister may have caused a stir are mine but they're just the latest twists in the backs of story a tale told through a number of hashtags in recent weeks blue farit use hashtags stopped breck's it to say officials resigned to save themselves from going down with the sinking ship tell doron however approves of a so-called hard saying he'd vote for boris johnson to be the next conservative party leader but rex accord major guy verhofstadt tweets walking out of the
11:24 pm
government won't make rex it go away and hopes for unity as a means to find an agreement that works for me thanks make it so joining us now from london to help us understand a way breaks it is headed my take is the c.e.o. of my life my say that's a youthful lead nonpartisan movement working to foster political dialogue and secure a better break state amanda chetwynd callison is the co-founder of future sake a youth organization advocating for people's vote on the terms of the brits deal and don't support is a professor of economics at king's college london he also researches for the think tank u.k. in a change in europe hello everybody i'm just thinking about that turn that phrase breaks shambles looking here amanda on my laptop voice johnson i am proud to serve as a foreign secretary it is with sadness that i step down here's my letter explaining why is this part of the box that shambles as far as you're concerned and i wonder
11:25 pm
how would you describe the last few days i mean in shambles almost doesn't really go far enough where the absolute key thing to me or stepping down is it's about boris it's about his own career it's about his ego it's not about the country or even his party to a certain extent if he really really thought him stepping down with the signing of what was to come in his letter would have included what he would have wanted to have seen that would have options and different on the table but instead it just worked out on about him so. i was with boris. just doesn't just doesn't even go far enough to be what the last few days have been jonathan you're smiling. well i agree with that i mean i think you know barr is about forests and his letter as i have just said is about here it was full of frankly of the law is actually the challenge for i'm going to do
11:26 pm
a very good fact experienced for what's actually came out and said. doris this letter is simply lied about you know so i think we can hardly dismiss that but i think the more substantive point is the point. made which applies not just the bar spoke to the more serious pro breaks it forces who don't support teresa mayes current approach they don't really have an alternative strategy so the problem is really a problem for the country as a whole not just for the conservative party is mrs may strategy is generally the it's always common denominator strategy nobody remainer is leave her most of the conservative party the labor party no one really likes it but equally no one at the moment has a terribly coherent alternative and they certainly know will turn if in which commands a majority of the country there isn't a majority to reverse the referendum despite what amanda was like that's just not there at the moment there isn't
11:27 pm
a majority for that boris johnson are breaks and there isn't a majority for that theresa may rubbish break said and there isn't a majority for that labor party let's have our cake and eat it breaks it either so we're at something of a turning point and we don't really know which direction to go and we don't know drift this well have it and i think that explains why there are men so many differing opinions on line it's way out so a couple people weighing in on the resignations in the shambles this is rachel who says i voted to remain and i still would my daughter is looking for work in a damn company and european ones are not even auditioning u.k. dancers at the moment as regards resignations it's too little and too late i dread to think of what mr hunt will do as. and secretary another person weighing in this is even who says boris johnson's resignation is stemming from his foresight of the whole exodus is bound to blow up so he's press the eject button before it crushes him wondering what you think of this last tweet this is the way to get out of
11:28 pm
things before they all blow up. well yeah fortunately i think well our generation is really disappointed because i think so many young people across the country don't decide enough there's this whole big debate about breaks that across the country comes to the area and the media maybe still don't understand what regs actually means and we just want to get on with me i mean one i think about how we could build a country a country got lots of features generations and like for example i agree with john and i think there is a not the type will i second referendum all many of them follow even the young people who are the party to remain off if you want to get on and i think yes i agree with that i got my hopes and i think whether you want to lead remain kind of vote that evoke at this point it doesn't matter what we need to do is for you to start liking to go out and come towards a common future hopeful of the future of our country and i think the most shocking thing to settle for many people don't understand what how is that possible is that conversation. well i mean you look at the most people question after we left the
11:29 pm
european union what we switch was what is the european union on google i'm not what it's like if you had a three month period or three four month period it ought to set a referendum which you know when it's time to go i was an educated about what your opinion does that are for anything about the issue of fit and i'm not part of problem that we had in the u.k. people don't even know what the no national government does we don't have to school and civic education and you can't which is why it is sort of a little time out among young people because it's not that they don't care about the issues i think them was they do it's about legacy traditional forms of politics as a big which are going to those issues that they care about so at this moment you know we have this bubble in westminster which is constantly talking about brings it i don't think for most of the country people are angry i'm for young people who are angry about something if you ask people whether they're not happy about it they'll probably say to you only yeah we don't think race is going to be a good thing but i don't think if you said to people like i have we had so many
11:30 pm
focus groups and events with young people when you ask them what rights you can send about music and there's none. push no say back to well i don't know what rights i have to lose because i want to be educated so until people stop the city to fix of it that's when they'll be start to be angry better and so we're in unfortunately you know people don't know what's happening and they just want to go on that jonathan let me just share this with our audience. on the eleventh king of a think tank or the u.k. in a changing to reason males see. rex say explain theo and pay. wow. that was a pod and in that the government actually came out with a which said we should have a customs and regular alignment period. that are out of the way of solving some of the problems that arise from leaving the customs union and leaving the single market in particular as related as regards state of the border northern
11:31 pm
ireland so it was a pond but it does actually describe i'm afraid rather what originates breaks it looks like it of course or a stone ship used pretty much the same language in describing that to raise a matter to breaks it during the famous cabinet meeting at checkers last wait i'm not i think as i said the great set that theresa may has come up with is a sort of lowest common denominator it keeps us have been and have abs of the mechanisms of the european union in particular the cost of single market. but. it doesn't give us any sort of poets in how those regulations are made in the future so it really isn't going to satisfy anyone it won't satisfy the people who want us to be completely free of eight eight one times five people who want us to stay part of the single market to maintain freedom but on the other mechanisms
11:32 pm
that apply the moment but he. it's not really any coherent alternative on the table i'm certainly not coming from bruce johnston and david davis as about to said they walked out so they were happy but they didn't give us any sort of alternative i had . an equally we don't really have a coherent clout that involves remaining in the either that i think is right at this moment there isn't a matter tight as a moment to moment the public gets a how to reverse for it so we're stuck in this limbo. and it cadillac at some point something will have to it will have to make some decisions but we don't seem to be ready for that yet you know it's interesting to the reason we're in this limbo according to a few people online is because the prime minister herself wanted to remain in the air this is richard a tweet he sent her saying he will be in a far more stronger position now that those two ministers have resigned may if they
11:33 pm
remain are and she'll do anything to stay in the e.u. bubble as the old saying goes a leopard never changes its spots and one more person sent us a video comment this is steven waffen f. former stream gas then a member of european parliament and he talks about that very same issue how to listen to reason maids come at a meeting in checkers effectively delivered a remaining two and the death of brit since no one now believes having read the communique that she truly believes in bringing back control of all animals from the european union not paying money in some form to the european union be controlled by the european court of justice and also controlling immigration it is very clear that she is delivering a remainer bret's it is not a true breakfast. and there audience come i know i was couldn't see there well
11:34 pm
while she was talking you could see i mean i kind of shaking your head side to side john and i do and i want to get in but i want to hear what was behind that for amanda i just and when they could remain i could like ending freedom of movement leaving the single market leaving the customs union like what leaving and still left and three times that like that is not anything to do with remaining the government of god in a massive charm offensive on this that trying to sell it as a soft because i think a compromise is going to be the only way they can get people around this like the stuff leavers the soft remain isn't that what they need because currently three of my just doesn't have a parliamentary majority condor for anything but definitely any form of deal that's controversial so when you're leaving a single market and you're leaving the customs union and you're ending freedom of movement and your ending the jury. that is that's not a stock that has a heart but both david couldn't hack it they didn't they didn't whatever kind of say ok maybe that's ok but that's no and you know yeah we're leaving but we might have the same rules because it doesn't fit with that narrative so i just to me that
11:35 pm
. that can be a hard approach that if you try to pop in with the notice we just left like tomorrow. i'm well i slightly disagree with amanda i mean i do think that tori to reason made this proposal whether you call it harder soft is a much softer form or breaks that davis or jordan or steven wolf what light. and i think steve and it's who i've been on i think i may have been on this show with that a while back david is at least consistent is vengeance breaks it makes sense it is we cut our ties with the e.u. completely or out completely we term were treated as a turd third country and we're treated by them as a. country and that's logical and deliverable and actually be said if we want to do that we can it's up to us the problem is that a. the vast majority of serious economists think it would give very serious damage
11:36 pm
to the u.k. economy and business grace. and be he's not what a majority of the people voted for what a majority of people want there was never a majority in parliament in the country. certainly not in business. for the sort of break this even wants so the idea that oh it's all the fault of. backstabbing remainders i'm the reason they or it's all of fault of conniving brussels or kratz or someone and so forth which is the sort of narrative you get from stephen and people like john said just doesn't make sense and this is not the sort of place he wants is perfectly also full but it is not what the british public want to know what the british parliament wants and it would be absolute disaster for the u.k. economy so it can't happen the question is well well it can't have if it does happen it will happen by accident on the question is how do we get through this in
11:37 pm
a way which does somehow command some sort of majority support i also agree with them and i've heard that you know that tory that may have a compromise. majority support either and that's what a lot of you don't have demonstrated and i want to space to you i'm going to do. something i found it on amanda's twitter page ok so this is what i found on her twitter page people to the u.k. it's a brand new secretary jeremy hunt and just listen to what he says towards me at a very interesting but what i'm saying is that when we have negotiated the terms of our departure this is a huge decision this will have an impact not just for the next five years but the next seventy five years the terms of our trade with all the countries on our doorstep is unbelievably important times of the jobs the opportunities for young people for many generations and i do think that people should have a chance to have their say on those terms and pay for shipping to have their say on
11:38 pm
those terms more stones and has left this is the new foreign secretary would he just say. what does that mean he just he just looked like he was not which is what . you. know what i want to bring in one thing that is they go back i'm going. on breaks it won't be helpful at all because if you get one of the reasons why we had breaks in the first place is because people. aren't good at electoral system we live in a country where if you live in where i did for example with your conservative vote no chance your vote out and buy snows there are places in a regular conservative area in your neighborhood so you vote doesn't count nationally. for the regs that referendum that would be us writing that was the process electoral system by people was one vote one person and many people in power not as a way to express i think if you want to revise the decision i mean it's times and
11:39 pm
so much you know if that say for example you had another referendum and it was rejected the nothing would like to see not a site what the doctrines that we thought referendum sicily i think you know i mean that's not the way to go for what i think there is an insight among the public government people want to get on with it i think i would just distance won't go down as one of them and that was same and again you know when we even when the media the way the media described sprigs i don't think it's what we talk about every manus walk breaks that the more we talk about hardest or breaks it well because it says ok and also all languages again what it does is it puts us to these two different camps like this that during the referendum and i don't think it's hope we don't break one of the one of the key findings of president putin is i'm not as outrageous as i divide it between young and old between cities and towns as in those of the graduates in one graduates and i think the more we keep inviting back to two years ago the more doubt those divisions are more exacerbate and i don't think it's helpful the way before talking to me it's unified i think if you
11:40 pm
want to rejoin if you want to think about saying that you don't think it would have to be done for rejoining european union maybe for my generation where we're about i think it's all been about repressed and breaks it you know i don't think it's like i think people lose i mean people don't even trust it was a moment why would they trust in the future again. keeping that in mind i want to share two perspectives one that i think the one that may not this is hate and he says it is same i was on martin few weeks ago with hundreds of thousands of people of all political persuasions hoping we could gain the people's about the mood was optimistic and defiant personally u.k. labor have disappointed me greatly but i like others will not be deterred now they got pushed back this is tom who says in the country the silent majority still want back that people vote are deluded if they think a new referenda. could be one especially after the establishment have tried to shaft i manda that's holy i wish it were limited eluded. i mean personally think more deluded is boris you know like we've just gone there
11:41 pm
everything he's ever said and even hunt is related and rob the new. secretary have these visions that are just so i'm representing particularly of what younger generations want but i think what's really interesting there was an icon of the wording in the second tweet it picked up on being in london and it's all about in london for the march where a hundred thousand people came to that march when i was one of the organizations that helped organize it and. they came buses came from all over the country like from wales from liverpool from calls from devon from north but this wasn't the london metropolitan elite marching through london it was a genuine variety equal like rich or black what walking through london because they were so annoyed at the thought that we're going to lose jobs are going to a clone of me is going to be like nobody can point to a good news story out of it right now and it takes quite a lot to get a hundred thousand people from all across the country walking through the streets
11:42 pm
of london in a protest got to say jonathan as a professor of economics he was studying to write states and the economic impact it may have on the united kingdom and europe of course as well would you like to also one of the guests who is not a professor of economics. well i mean i think the question i'd like to ask methody in particular reason i have some sympathy with this point if you as i said i don't think he's right and yet you get a tie for second referendum but the divisions east coast about which come through very clearly in a party but how is this that i as an economist and my political science colleagues did deficiency come eighty eight sets out there they are they're not they're not you were not produced by breaks it and nothing in the economic analysis that that i've done or anybody else has done just that they will be sold by brags that if anything they are likely to be made worse by bright said i don't question but i'd
11:43 pm
like to ask a mr you have given that grade sake is and i suspect he actually grazer this president is not the solution to the divisions essential economic divisions of the u.k. why is it that we should be doing it how easy it exactly that we can with breaks that hanging over us and i likely to absorb some much of the political and policy energy ate in the u.k. or than a few years you know how do we get over how do we have he say a way through this but i actually thought it very difficult of course you know i wish i had that step. saying just i think you also move that question and say go for it and i admire you even try iraq we have to get arizona to arkansas others and that is thinking up the response and i think that's right it's a. system of just make clear from the start you know i'm someone you are going to remain probably will still be liking the main part of the european union i just
11:44 pm
don't think you do i think going against that with us that the i think will open us into a very dangerous route you know we're very lucky in the u.k. where you are that people are not usually skeptical about the outcome of elections a number of parts of the world is a big problem where people are you can trust the elections and i think that if we tried to go back to ross i agree with donovan i think there are big problems i think we just saw and if so what we have on the all party parliamentary group and about to breaks it for young people and we just are a nation might be on whether young people believe that this current government will be able to deliver. in the future generations and many young people who don't get it don't believe that once the beam and they don't feel that you know this government will take the pursuit of breaks it. live up to reach generations because some of the issues like amanda mentioned that matter also movement of course a massive major issues but you know i think we need to have a real conversation with with the european union about looking about how we can actually go forward and i think part of the problem with threes may's government is
11:45 pm
right out the outset it will die out lot of different options that were on the table and i think i get particularly the conversation i had with the european union when i went to meet with them off their. report which i think there is an abrupt you need to think about crane it was both. i know i sound like a break and when i say this you know when we talk in the weeks of male model when we talk about this model these models didn't exist before this race on the weekend or the i'm so why can't we have you came with slava generation i mean let me you know i said are these remain yet i wished for it never by. i don't they are big about my generation of these generations i don't care about the politics of it so i won't need it or do you think it's. my take and amanda and jonathan thank you often i'll go super fast let me show you something he has a countdown clock from the think tank that does that as part of the u.k. and a change in europe how many days minutes and seconds before breaks it actually happens
11:46 pm
. how should we end our conversation with this live comment on you tube from blue green who says there can only be a hard bracketed the sentiments of the e.u. overexcite are clear about to depart to the u.k. at every turn anything less than hard will use against one person to thank you guest thank you for coming to see this will not be the last time i am sure we will be discussing and we will continue our coverage on live and i will on al-jazeera as well and i will see you next time.

president. to increase their funding levels but they want some business to discuss. afghanistan but supposed to be on that agenda trump has now moved on from brussels to. work as it's not the official state visit he might have wanted but there will be hundreds of thousands of people ready to meet him in the form of an anti trump protest movement in london as that begins and they could probably do with the distraction. of the world cup after all the talk of football coming home there is now a chance of football's top prize heading to the balkans. croatia make history their first final here. and ireland gets one step closer to becoming the first country to boycott products from illegal israeli settlements we have all the details on that story and much more. effective after the show is a hash tag eighteen is great. news
11:50 pm
great live on air and streaming online through facebook live an al-jazeera dot com it should have been as we said about afghanistan in crimea and other international issues but almost inevitably day two of the nato summit in brussels became about donald trump it began the reports the u.s. president threatening to pull out of nato with member states didn't increase their financial contributions but later he said that wouldn't be necessary because the other countries had agreed to increase their funding james but without a report from brussels. president. and. well that's at least how he wanted to be seen at the start of the day's proceedings even chewing away and assistant nato will not forget this day the day is still u.s. president came here with a clear narrative in his mind he created a crisis even hinting he might pull out of the alliance school declaring
11:51 pm
a victory tremendous progress has been made everyone's agreed to substantially up their commitment they're going to up it at levels that they've never thought of before prior to last year where it turned in my first meeting it was going down the amount of money being spent and by countries was going down and down very substantially. earlier trump was late for a meeting between nato allies and partner countries ukraine and georgia the cameras were no longer in the room by the time the president once again brought up the nato defense spending an issue everyone else in the water being settled nato secretary-general young stoltenberg had to ask you crane in georgia to leave as nato went into emergency session. while trump insists they made new much increased spending commitments his allies later denied that nothing new had been agreed there is a familiar pattern here trump is still declaring his diplomacy with north korea is
11:52 pm
going well even though the country itself which has made no firm commitment simple has just called recent talks troubling that was an amazing really an amazing meeting i thought and i really think that we establish very good relationships you will see were a lens but there have been no missile tests there have been no research where there's been they have blown up a side i hear they're blowing up another site missile so what actually was achieved at this nato summit virtually nothing and expose the divisions within the alliance the person that is going to benefit is russian president vladimir putin who president trump meets at the beginning of next week the u.s. president was asked about that meeting he was positive he was asked to about russian amec sation of crimea he was once again positive about putin and at no point called for russia to withdraw from crimea the next few days will continue to be worrying ones for nato allies james out just zero at nato headquarters in
11:53 pm
brussels just a little bit of background here because regardless of the percentages nato funding always comes from its member states and we want to show you how that works the u.s. gives the most six hundred eighty five million dollars a year and then it's a big jump down but you've got the u.k. france germany and italy as the other top contributors at the lower end of the scale and it is way down slovenia luxemburg and albania these numbers in the hundreds of thousands so half a million they're from savina but as donald trump has pointed out only five nato members states actually give the expected two percent of annual g.d.p. it's tonia greece poland the u.k. in the u.s. all of that money goes towards military spending the requirement as well that member states support each other in. threatened by an attack that was first and forced when the u.s. was attacked of course on september eleventh of two thousand and one so there's just a bit of background for you as we now discuss things with robert hunter in washington
11:54 pm
d.c. director of the center of a transatlantic security studies at the national defense university more importantly in this context a former u.s. ambassador to nato sense of pleasure to have you with us mr hunter what do you make of what donald trump achieved in a radio in brussels he went in there as a correspondent said stern phrased demanded things and looks like he got them. well the summit achieved what it had to achieve basically that the president did not back away from the one thing in nato that matters which is article five of the nato treaty that if any ne any country is attacked in nato everybody else were consider that they have been attacked and that many closing out is states some people thought he would back away from that he didn't know he broke a lot of crockery he insulted the german chancellor which is bad manners but he did sign the communique which has lots of good stuff in it including more spending not
11:55 pm
as much as trump would like but he's touting the thirty three billion dollars of extra money that suppose it's going to be spread they talked about a lot of stuff they're going to be doing in central europe i have to say that at least in terms of the substance it came out pretty well in terms of the atmospherics it never helps if the american president is misbehaving himself and in fact he's the first president who ever did misbehavior so at a nato summit and this is the thing don't you just get this on easy feeling that this is all going to backfire at some point donald trump goes to meetings like this he makes a noise and then shows how he apparently fixes it all and everything's fine but i mean the goodwill with the u.s. is allies let's not forget these are allies that good will surely come last. that's one of the big questions about nato is whether if he continues to.
11:56 pm
insult people if he continues to raise doubts will somehow it at the margins people begin to question now a lot of this let's understand a large part of what trump was doing was to try to tear up the meeting with putin now he's being accused the united states of being a lapdog of putin putin must have something on him he's cozies up to putin and you don't like the allies what trump did by calling for increased defense spending and by taking a strong stand against the germans getting gas from russia was to say you see i'm not going to be a patsy of putin so he was really thinking not of the nato summit they hold too many of these things anyway he was really trying to get ready for the meeting with putin so he won't be accused of being just a jerk in meeting with the master of the kremlin interesting that he doesn't seem to have an issue with turkey a nato member purchasing
11:57 pm
a bunch of of russian i believe they called s four hundred anti missile weapons i mean it's just the the the the contradictions all over the place it's actually hard to keep up with them all. well the contradictions that are taking place have to do with mostly with a number of countries within nato are moving away from the democratic model you have hungary with its incredible. prime minister you have poland nibbling at the edges of italy and now mr airto on of turkey is trying to create him self like he was editor these are kind of the real strains within the alliance and also what's happening in the european union with the with immigration these dwarf the kinds of misgivings there might be in nato about mr trump and as i said he reaffirmed the american commitment to the alliance which is what had to be done he did it finally let's just talk about arguably what we were supposed to talk about
11:58 pm
today and that's actually what was on the agenda that was crimea and there was afghanistan afghanistan still a mess of nato commitments how are they going to move forward there because what's it been now seven seventeen years in afghanistan well the nato alliance will continue to provide trainers and the like in afghanistan but frankly i don't know anybody who has come up with a convincing case for any western country still to be in afghanistan after seventeen years as you point out the taliban now control more territory than they did when the united states first went in but nobody is prepared to admit the one the taliban is not going to pose a critical threat to anybody that we care about in europe and secondly nobody knows how to make this work so why not get out nobody's prepared to say ok we made
11:59 pm
a good try now let's just go go home so the fact that. trump had played down the crimea thing i don't think as up to a hill of beans. robert hunter what a pleasure it's been talking to you former u.s. ambassador to nato thank you so much. and in four days time as we have james as well the focus which is to russia or at least finland actually where the russian president will meet donald trump joe macron a fellow at the arab center in washington d.c. has written this piece at al-jazeera dot com he thinks actually syria is the one to watch in this meeting he says trump will give up syria to pollution the way go but shove left iraq to bush in one thousand nine hundred one to figure that one out what will trump and pollution agree on what the hell sink the summit it is in the opinion section about jazeera dot com before any of that though it is destination u.k. for donald trump in fact he's there right now
12:00 am
a force one touchdown at stansted airport just outside of london this is around two two and a half hours ago today working visit not the original state visit which had been on the cards but he will still be meeting queen elizabeth the second as well as prime minister to resign may tramples ahead up to scotland he owns a couple of golf courses up there of course that we don't know exactly the said what he will be doing there and where it will be we know that we're going to talk to nadine barber who is at the u.s. well he's out there in london there now to explain to me what's going on behind you a lot of security that's right came up as you were saying not a state visit but it is a visit that's being accompanied by a huge amount of security detail american and british vogue fences around three meters high have been put up around the u.s. ambassador's residence where donald trump just been having what they're calling a town a whole gathering full mainly americans based here there was a steady stream of the.
