9:02 pm
weight when it comes to defense spending after a busy day of meetings leave leaders headed to dinner where further discussions are underway at this hour u.s. president donald trump wasting no time suggesting that america's european allies should increase their spending but the amount that he considers appropriate well it came as a shock it's way above the target that nato members have previously agreed to. and want to pull in our correspondent terry shows she is and to nato headquarters in brussels good evening to you terry president trump is especially taking issue with the lack of burden sharing that nato members not pulling their own weight when it comes to defense spending how did that go down today. well that was not unexpected because this has been president trump's obsession since even before he went he came into office and i mean he does have a point because the european allies spend much less than the united states does on
9:03 pm
their defense budgets and it hasn't come to the fore until twenty fourteen really when russia annexed crimea from ukraine and then they started realizing they were not prepared in a crisis and since two thousand and fourteen all the allies have reversed the cuts to their defense budgets but since president trump came into office and started focusing on this started parading allies there's been an even bigger bump in investment and now eight of twenty nine allies including the united states do spend the nato target of two percent of their g.d.p. on defense that of course leaves a lot of other allies who don't and those will not escape president trump's route. as long as he stays in office as far as i can tell this summit got off to a very explosive start over breakfast this morning or just take a listen to what the u.s. president had to say during his far as i'm concerned this captive to russia because it's getting so much from the energy from the right so we're supposed to protect
9:04 pm
germany but they're getting very energy from russia explained that here in the you know. good luck trying to explain that to me why did trump raise the issue of russian gas supplies to me what was the point that he was trying to make is he conflating several things here. he absolutely is and that's something that nato has tried so hard not to let happen they've always been able to say you know the solidarity on defense remains strong even if allies have differences over things like trade or climate now president trump is mixing them all up so what he is saying is that he doesn't understand how european countries germany in particular can pay in his words billions of dollars for russian gas but then expect the united states to spend billions of dollars to protect them referring again back to defense investment in their own militaries so that is certainly not an argument you would hear anybody at nato condone they do not want to conflate trade issues and you know
9:05 pm
germany does not spend the amount that president trump said does not take the percentage that president trump said of gas from russia so he was he was not only conflating things he was also throwing out fake facts there but that said you know what was really interesting what happened after that brant because he did not repeat that that statement as in his bilateral meeting with chancellor merkel but then in the car on the way to dinner tonight he tweeted it again so he doubled down on that again and not only that said all allies need to spend two percent immediately all right teri schultz and nato headquarters in brussels thank you very much for parents of the boys rescued from a flooded cave system in thailand have visited them in the hospital but they were only allowed to see their sons through a glass window the twelve members of the wild boars football team and their coach
9:06 pm
are said to be in good shape after their near three week brush with death but doctors say they still need time to recover. happy and relatively well after a two and a half week ordeal in a flooded cave now recovering in hospital the doctors say they'll be under observation for ten days and then resting at home for another month with only water from the caves walls to drink the boys are underweight and exhausted they're being kept in quarantine because there's still a danger of infection. the relief is overwhelming parents aren't yet allowed to hug their children but they're happy to see them alive. the time navy seals have published these astounding images of the rescue and explained in detail how difficult and dramatic this mission really was the boys were taken out of the cave just as the oxygen levels dropped to a dangerous level they were sedated in order to prevent them panicking in the
9:07 pm
narrow underwater passages doctors monitored their condition at regular intervals along the route. time navy seals were jubilant they were able to achieve what many thought was mission impossible side by side with international volunteers. this unity is not only with chiang rai or thailand it's a global unity incident was more than a lifesaving mission it's gone beyond that it's the unity of all nationalities at their high school their friends are eagerly waiting for them to return. and watch my friend don was in the cave i was so relieved to learn that everyone had been rescued down that they're ok. we were told not to ask them any questions about the case we should just wait for them to tell us if they feel like it but we're planning a big welcome ceremony when they come back and now that he was it is not just the boys high school where the spectacular rescue mission is the dominating
9:08 pm
topic all throughout the village of may side we're seeing banners celebrating the new heroes. the boys will have to wait for the celebrations. the chief of the mission says it isn't fully over our final mission he said is to send them back home. but here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world officials in afghanistan say that gunmen have stormed the department of education in the eastern city of jalalabad at least eleven employees were killed and ten wounded security forces exchanged gunfire with the attackers for five hours before killing two of them it's the second attack in jalalabad in as many days the prominent chinese political campaign urged kids young men has been sentenced to thirteen years in prison after a court found him guilty of of subversion of state power he was first jailed as
9:09 pm
a counter-revolutionary in the one nine hundred eighty s. and has already spent twenty two years in prison. a court in the german city of munich today convicted a member of a neo nazi terrorist cell for murder. and has been sentenced to life in prison for her role in the murder of ten people in a ten year killing spree she belonged to a group calling itself the national socialist underground the su it carried out racially motivated murders two bombings and a series of robberies the gangs other two core members were found dead after an apparent suicide back in two thousand. guilty of ten counts of murder the at a tip and the only survivor of the neo nazi murder cell will spend the rest of her life behind bars it was the maximum sentence but little consolation for the victims' relatives. to once known to ask the underclothes the evidence against and
9:10 pm
in favor of the defendant was considered but the trial didn't address the suffering of the victims' families a trial they want considered in anyway so apparently the court didn't even take note of the impact of these crimes that. our trust in the legal system suffered enormously even before the trial after the verdict it's just the same we have no trust in the system anymore unfortunately. the biggest question throughout the trial was whether be at a chapel was an accomplice or merely a follower chep a claimed it was her partner's move him on close and would have been hard both of him committed suicide who had murdered ten people she played a background role and never pulled the trigger during the trial chapel maintained she knew nothing about the murders even though she had lived with the two men for fourteen years kept as lawyers plan to appeal the verdict project it will be here as chipper was convicted as a stand in for something she neither wanted nor did the state has to deal with the fact that the real perpetrators of these horrific crimes cannot be punished anymore
9:11 pm
. after five years the trial has finally come to an end but many questions remain unanswered were there unknown accomplices what role did the intelligence services play and how did the police fail to properly investigate the case this is it's good that there is a clear and unequivocal verdict today what's 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 which. means our four other men were convicted of being and as you accomplices one of them has already completed his sentence. he walked out of court a free man relatives of the victims suspect there were other people who knew about the crimes and facilitated them they demand the investigators stay on the case until they have answered all their questions. the only conrad joins me now she has been following this story. i mean are we talking about this verdict bringing
9:12 pm
closure has a has a wind been drawn under this case no it certainly hasn't i mean i talked to a lawyer who's involved in the case and she said had clients was shocked they were outraged because they feel that their concerns weren't represented they say that this trial focused too much on share it didn't focus on the other complicity as a lot of talk about who may be help facilitate this i mean we're talking about a group that murdered ten people that operated for seven years it's clear that there must have been other accomplices but they were only really footnotes in this case what was it about this case that shocked germany so much i mean murder and you know ten murders or ten terrible things but there was more than that right there was this initially the police called these the donor kebab as there was a lot of talk of this being migrant on migrant violence some people pointed to the
9:13 pm
turkish mafia so even though there was some clues that this was probably racist motivated to hate crime or even worse as it turned out to be as terrible case investigators took until two thousand and eleven to connect the dots so that's where a lot of the outrage a lot of the focus is really a decade for the police to you know piece together everything had there been any political ramifications from what has come to light. not really i mean we've had thirteen parliamentary inquiries there's a bit long been a lot of political debate but if you look at germany today i mean the. and immigrant if d. is doing very well a they you know they and parliament now so there's definitely been a lot of debate but if you talk to victims if you talk to their values they say nothing much has changed and there's so many open questions that haven't been oncet i mean there's a question of what did state institutions know what did the state intelligence
9:14 pm
services know has been a couple of cases where files were destroyed so a lot of open questions there's a lot of anger and it's quite likely that investigations will continue one lie as already filed another suit so i think this isn't over get this hasn't been closed for about thirty seconds beyond me she's going to prison for life can we say then that justice was served today well in her case maybe but the other cases there are and we can read as always thank you very much. and here's a reminder of that top story that we're following for you at the nato summit in brussels a u.s. president has criticized his european allies for not paying enough but secretary-general later. their contributions and to share the burden more. in the hospital
