pay more for their defense and this morning at a meeting with nato ahead a young start with president trump took particular aim at germany russia germany as far as i'm concerned is captive to russia because it's getting so much energy from right so we're supposed to protect germany but they're getting their energy from our explain the you know. and nato secretary general last stoltenberg address just a short while ago a news conference on the outcome of a today's meeting he said the allies had agreed to increase their spending and to share the burden of contributions more fairly he also praised the alliance's many achievements take a lesson in the history of nato and we have had the many disagreements there we have been able to overcome them again and again because at the end of the day we

all agree that north america and europe are safer together nato is good for europe nato is good for north america. string nato secretary general yes stoltenberg speaking there want to go to do we have correspondent teri schultz she is at nato headquarters she listened very carefully to that address that terry at nato as secretary general is stoltenberg reminding all involved about the importance of nato would that they need winding. the fact that he had such strong statements that he himself said he was reminding north america and europe that they needed each other is testament to the fact that strain ties have been strained and we shouldn't say ties with all of north america but the united states because of course canada is among those allies that the united states criticizes for low defense spending so we're really talking about the

united states and the europeans here and yes i think he did feel that he needed to remind them of this message that they have to stick together and on on the defense burden sharing this is been a trend since twenty fourteen but there's been an increase even even more rapidly in the last year and secretary general stoltenberg is is happy to attribute that to president donald trump's pressure on the european allies they have all been increasing and eight nations now eight of the twenty nine allies this year are spending two percent of their g.d.p. on defense now that's up from three allies spending that amount in two thousand and fourteen so i think that secretary-general sunbird would very much like the united states to see this as a success story so far it hasn't that hasn't been the way the president has been playing it for sure because also we're getting reports that mr trump is suggesting that our allies suspend four percent instead of two percent of the goalpost is

moving again. well that's right and secretary general was asked about this and he said wait a minute let's get to two percent and we can we can talk again and and as we've been we've been discussing even by twenty twenty four which was a ten year deadline that the that the countries set themselves for getting closer to two percent even by that point only about two thirds of the allies will be spending two percent of their g.d.p. so it's crazy to talk about four percent at this point all right terry reporting from nato h.q. thank you so very much for your continued coverage. right now to our other top 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 and they decay the long spree be out to shape or has been sentenced to life in prison should belong to a group calling itself the national socialist underground or n.s.u.

if kariya carried out the racially motivated murders two bombings in a series of robberies between 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 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 she 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 the murders tape as lawyers regard today's verdict as judicially flawed in their view she did not actively take part in the crimes to be sorry go or touch the grounds for the judgment up until now or downright flimsy the courts are clearly disregards the

unequivocal specifications of the federal court of justice regarding complicity we will contest the verdict with an appeal. although the trial has ended many questions remain unanswered about possible accomplices the involvement of the intelligence services and the failure of the police to properly investigate the case. this is for us it's more that there is 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 or the i'll be able to be room inside for other and as you accomplices were charged along with the ought to cheat them relatives of the victims suspect that they are other people do knew about the crimes and has solidity to them that demanding that investigators stay on the case until they have oncet all the questions. all the way you correspondent frank kaufman was at the court and unique today and earlier he told me about the ramifications of the verdict. oh well one

leg lesson is obviously that this debate is not over you see the emotions behind me these are supporters of the victim's family that the man further investigation of the terrorists not seen that verts in german a that were also responsible for the terror groups murders murders murders here in the in the country and what comes out here is obviously the strategy of the federal state prosecutor always saying we have a group of eight we had a group of three terrorists one survival be out to chip in only a handful of soft people supporting them obviously is not easing the people that one of the justices specially amongst the victims' families thank you frank hoffman reporting there from munich all right want to bring you up to speed now 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 city of jalalabad at

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 exactly and what bravery they exhibited indeed we saw all the boys there in the hospital do we know more about how they were doing. yes we were told we also saw in 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 touch their parents but that's just a precaution we learned that they will have to stay in the hospital for up to ten more days and then afterwards. and then afterwards they will have to stay at home
