fair share also coming up a neo nazi goes to jail for life but at the shape it is found guilty of ten murders in germany most of them were actually motivated the evidence in the five year long trial shocked the nation. plus the first pictures showing the boys rescued from a flooded thai cave recovering in the hospital all set to be in good condition reports say they were sedated to keep them calm during the rescue. is great to have you along everyone while we start off with that today a high stakes nato summit taking place in brussels where sparks have been flying nobody expected it to be easy but the way that u.s. president donald trump came out so. winging straight out of the gate caught
5:02 pm
everyone by surprise he's already made clear that he expects america's european allies to pay more for their defense this morning at a meeting with nato head stoltenberg sums took political or aim and germany here's what he said germany as far as i'm concerned is captive to russia because it's getting so much energy from russia so we're supposed to protect germany but they're getting their dinner g. for a few weeks later and here be you know. president trump a speaking earlier at that breakfast meeting and we expect a nato secretary general installed to address the press in a press conference in about ten minutes so we'll cross over to that live for us soon as it gets underway in the meantime electively indeed abuse teri schultz she is at nato headquarters terry are you there yet i live there she is terry great to see you what an extraordinary way to kick
5:03 pm
off this two day summit i mean that was just supposed to be a photo op when people are all smiles it's a meet and greet and chit chatting about the weather well the one thing everybody knows is that president trump is so unpredictable the he is obsessed with european defense spending the european defense budgets and especially germany's so this is the thing that stood out to me most in those comments is how uncomfortable secretary general stoltenberg must have been nato is absolutely insistent that trade and defense not be linked and president trump is ever more linking the two issues all right now you've been covering a nato for quite a long time terry it's your beat you own this story i have you ever experienced a nato summit this confrontational and an american a leader striking a tone that is so combative. no and in the
5:04 pm
four nato summit that i've attended i've never heard anything like this before but again there's never been a leader like president trump before in fact i can remember at the whale summit the allies were complaining that president obama seems disinterested and a bit distracted there was a lot going on then with a u.s. hostage john being beheaded by isis during that summit i recall and president trump was president obama was working very hard on that so nobody has ever seen a summit where where the optics were this bad where allies are openly or one ally in particular openly attacking the other so nato's hopes that this was going to be a productive summit some very substantial measures that they have on the table to enhance the alliance's ability to respond to an attack to improve their cyber capabilities all of that's being lost in this in this clash of personalities between president trump and chancellor merkel. reporting from brussels thank you so
5:05 pm
much please stand by we're going to come back to you a little later on though just ahead of that press conference for now thank you so much and nato secretary general ian stoltenberg is expected to hold a news conference momentarily we'll take you there live as soon as it gets under way all right now we want to go to our other lead story of course in the german city of new nick has found a member of a neo nazi terrorist cell guilty of murdering ten people in a decade long murdering spree but out of shape or has been sentenced to life in prison she belong to a group calling itself the national socialist underground or n.s.u. for short it carried out the racially motivated to murders two bombings and a series of robberies between the years two thousand and twenty eleven. the verdict was a long time coming guilty of ten counts of murder the chief of the only survivor of the new nazi murder so good life in prison. outside the court media politicians and
5:06 pm
lawyers gathered as the judges were still reading the full verdict. this club is consequent it's right that she was sentenced for life imprisonment and was found grievously culpable which means she will not automatically be released after fifteen years on cipa pleaded not guilty although she was part of the neo nazi to you for fourteen years she claimed that she did not know about any of them that this tape as lawyers we got today's verdict s. judicially flawed in their view she did not actively take part in the crimes could be so they go to the grounds for the judgment up until now are downright flimsy the courts that clearly disregards the unequivocal specifications of the federal court of justice regarding complicity we will contest the verdict with an appealing face . although the trial has ended many questions remain unanswered at all possible accomplices the involvement of the intelligence services and the failure of the police to properly investigate the case. as a school as assume that there is
5:07 pm
a clear and unequivocal verdict today what is also very clear is that today's verdict should not put an end to the discussion and it should not put an end to the debate surrounding a resolution of the aisle feelings being inside for other and as you accomplices which charged along with be out to cheat them relatives of the victims suspect that they are other people do knew about the crimes and facilitated them that the mom thing that investigators stay on the case until they have oncet told the questions . and correspondent a friend kaufman is in munich standing outside the courtroom with thank you so much for joining us frank there been large protests going on at where are you are what are the demonstrators angry about. that well while the wording is against the main issues that it shed a sense a very strong sick over this life sentence of richard nixon it was different when
5:08 pm
it comes to their culture that called this is said were tried in the same courtroom over these five kids take one example there's tons of them free. figure who obviously helps to. get mobile homes for the. terrorist group of the national socialist underground that help them to move around to find spots and move on with her doesn't this person could go free today leaving this building as a free man the reason for that is that he was in prison before the charges against him and the verdicts are the verdict against him was not as tough to justify to keep him in prison and this is what makes people that are supporting the victim's families angry about the victims' families themselves as well his tie say the outcome of the five years trial does not really justify all the
5:09 pm
all what they was put into. into this process for example of supporting networks of the terrorist group they are still they say the families say there still are no and people and police should have done that investigations on the. and african this trial has rocked germany and made headlines around the world why did it shock this nation so much. to. look at the sheer monstrosity say of this was ten murders altogether between two thousand and two thousand and seven then two thousand and eleven as you have just mentioned this terrorist group was revealed that it was clear that it was a neo nazi terrorist group and not for example like what many police investigations try to relate to that the victims' families have something to do with out to give you only one example the family of the first victim and machine shake in the city
5:10 pm
of nurnberg in the areas they were on investigation investigations for a long period of time almost ten years the brother in law was accused offer. being part of a composite against his brother in law and the same second that was is not the case of the psychological damage that has been done to these families is immense and this is why this is so. emotionally. heartbreaking and it is a tough moment it was tough very tough moment for the victims' families doing the calls a day here in the unit from frank kaufman and the mere nick reporting outside the justice palace there thank you so very much all right moving on to our other top story the time military has released the first images of the twelve boys and their coach being rescued from the flooded cave it has been reported that the boys were sedated to keep them from panicking as they were carried on a stretchers through the dark
5:11 pm
a narrow underground passages the group was taken out in batches over the course of three days in an operation its chief called quote mission impossible but as we now all know the rescue went ahead when oxygen levels inside the cave plummeted and more rain was forecast while the youth soccer team had been trapped in the cave complex for nearly three weeks by high water caused by mall soon raise the group is said to be in the hospital making images there the pictures that have been released from the cave for what more have you learned about this harrowing rescue. well first of all i really found it to be extremely stunning watching these new videos that were just released. resawing of rapidly flowing water we saw how narrow that cave really is and for the first time we actually saw how they extracted the boys not just the preparatory works that happened on that we have
5:12 pm
been seeing all along so that was in parts it really felt like watching an action movie so i asked for the hard facts not all of the questions that the hundreds of journalists have were answered but what we learned was that the distance that the boys actually had to go through water wasn't all that long it was two hundred fifty meters now four boys two weeks ago didn't even know how to swim that is still a major achievement. after that stretch they have to go through water they were put on stretchers and then carried out of the cave so all in all at this press conference the officials just iterated how big of a success this whole mission was how the international cooperation made all the difference and they were just happy that this mission was accomplished and what bravery they exhibited indeed we saw all the boys there in the hospital do we know
5:13 pm
more about how they were doing. yes we were told we were also shown videos we saw some of the boys walking around already they were doing the victory signs so they seemed in very good spirits we learned that all of them are eating normal food now they're still in isolation so they still haven't been able to really talk to their parents but that's just a precaution we learned that they will have. for their must because ten more days and then afterwards. and then afterwards they will have to stay at home for thirty more days so it won't be. very soon that they will come back to school but they're in good spirits and they are recuperating well alright for in the short reporting there from thailand thank you for your continued coverage oh right now i'm bringing up to speed with some of the other stories making news around the world officials in afghanistan say gunmen have stormed the department of education in the eastern

5:15 pm
a press conference momentarily and as soon as it gets under way we will go to it but first want to talk to terry as she is our nato correspondent and terry we'll find out shortly but i'm hoping that you can lay some of the groundwork for us what can we expect from the nato secretary general who's at the helm of an alliance being undermined by its founding member. that's right secretary-general stoltenberg will face. a barrage of questions about the trans-atlantic relationship and specifically about comments made by president trump about germany about europe in general about his his constant axis accusations that europe is freeloading on the back of the united states and his most recent call.
