enough on defense especially germany this morning after an emergency session trump reaffirmed his commitment to the alliance and said that his allies had all suddenly agreed to increase their budget contributions. nato secretary general may have the hammer but it's donald trump who set the agenda before the summit he repeated his demand to members of the alliance to spend more on defense after a special meeting at trump's request the u.s. president presented himself as the one who would gain the upper hand they have substantially up their commitment and now we're very happy and have a very very powerful very very strong nato much stronger than it was two days ago has the u.s. president successfully put pressure on the others french president emanuel mcconnell says trump has not threatened to withdraw from the alliance the german
10:03 pm
chancellor minced her words. i can only summarize the results of a clear commitment from everyone to nato and in the light of the changing security conditions a willingness of every state involved to make its own contribution germany aims to boost defense spending levels to around one point five percent of g.d.p. by twenty twenty four whether this figure would rise further is unclear as it's a going by the discussion between many european allies here and not just the u.s. we must continue to ask how we can contribute further if need be given that fights in the media to trump is visiting britain then he heads to helsinki to meet russian president vladimir putin nato partners will be watching closely to see what unfolds . oh i'm joined tonight by john tesh al with the german marshall fund of the united states mr tesco is an author and foreign policy analyst who has worked at the german defense ministry as well as with nato he had
10:04 pm
a front row seat at the nato summit in brussels mr this hour it's good to have you back on the show maybe you can help us find some clarity truck declared victory today saying that everyone had agreed to his demands for spending four percent of g.d.p. on defense but that is not what we are hearing from other leaders what is the truth . the truth is that of course four percent was not agreed at the summit what we have seen as a classic trump in a sense we have seen a president who has escalated the negotiations and the proceedings really of the summit on that second day today and in order to increase pressure on the other allies and threatening even to basically was draw the united states from the alliance and there was this kind of zero gravity moment today at the summit for all those present that was you know a moment where everybody thought ok you know is this the kind of show that we've all expected is it ending but in reality what has been agreed as is as pretty much
10:05 pm
you know what everybody has agreed to already when you look at the communique the declaration the actual tangible outcome of the summit reaffirming the two percent spending goal from twenty fourteen and that is the official line of nato tonight trump maintains that more defense spending is necessary to make nato a fairer alliance and with that in mind of what you take a listen to what german chancellor angela merkel said today about the reasons for increasing spending only twenty in this we began making changes long we're doing this for our soldiers but also of course for the alliance we're also doing this in light of an altered security situation the need for it was made particularly clint by the attack on ukraine and the annexation of crimea. now there we see americal intro see very different things and you've written this detention i'll bet not since the one nine hundred seventy s.
10:06 pm
and eighty's is anyone got nato was wrong and donald truong was the missing. i think he's missing that a couple of things first of all the role of the united states and europe you know this is a strategic role this is a role that is good both for the u.s. and for the europeans it is a stabilizing force also in european politics and has been there since the one nine hundred fifty s. and he you know does not see the fragility of the of the political agreement of the of the acquittal brim of power in europe and how crucial his own country is to it and then of course the other thing that he doesn't see is that a strategic security guarantee and that is what article five of nato is and that is issued essentially by the americans as the strongest ally must come on conditionally it cannot be turned into a transactional kind of security karen where you pay for protection because then it loses its credibility and this is something that not only the europeans the allies see that it's also something that you know will be seen in russia and which will be
10:07 pm
very closely and interestedly observed also in beijing you know this is something that matters and you know credibility and trust are the key currencies a such an alliance money is also important but these other two things reigns supreme and if you kind of ignore them you're doing to the damage to the alliance without even knowing the intention with the german marshall fund of the united states joining us tonight from brussels mr tension always always we appreciate your insights thank you will from that they do summit in brussels the us president traveled on to what he called hot spot britain he arrives during what has already been a difficult week for prime minister to resume a two key members of her cabinet resigned over her handling of britain's exit from the e.u. breck's it trump is adding fuel to the fire by weighing in on that issue just minutes ago drop kicked off his four day u.k. visit with a black tie gala and what the palace knew of the city of august. he and first lady belong here welcomed by theresa may trump visit the two leaders are expected to
10:08 pm
talk about a buyout of world trade dio among other topics these expect more than one hundred protests across the country during mr trump's business. are listed here with our correspondent barbara hazel she is in front of the u.s. embassy in london good evening to you barbara we understand the president trump is spending the night at the u.s. ambassador's residence we can guess that the reception inside and from the prime minister this evening has been better than what you're hearing outside. yes of course every step he has done so far away ever he was somehow protests a stern death so they made tremendous amount of noise this afternoon here at the residence of the u.s. embassy in london to show that they're there but the big protests will be expected tomorrow and of course there will be the baby blimp the huge balloon trump as the
10:09 pm
base. and sort of angry wearing diapers to sort of makes things even more obvious and so he was there to protests all across the country and here in regent's park to the scene for us to introduce a bit of levity into the horrors of trumpets nato yesterday and today there was at least some really creative signage that we saw here from protesters earlier and we asked one of the organizers of the protests here in london i said three man why people are turning out and why are these why they are so violent against donald trump. so the three reasons why there's a carnival resistance taking place today and tomorrow. the first is. ordinary people in britain majority of people want to reject the politics of
10:10 pm
bigotry and he. represents his war on my groceries normalisation sexual violence against women is attack on the human rights of people and they want to reject the politics secondly we want to send a very powerful strong signal to our own government that they should be normalizing this politics. because you know to somebody like trump and they should be equitable public. politics for a brother who are there meeting the u.s. president has already weighed in on prime minister teresa mayes difficulties with brags how the truong. view were valid you know they even going to talk about bribes. oh i'm sure he's going to bring it up because tourism a is rather more likely to avoid it particularly because donald trump mentioned forest johnson the couple days ago and said oh he was his best friend and he would love to
10:11 pm
see him when he came here which is probably not going to happen because to resume a told everybody in the conservative circles that they should keep well away everybody is trying to contain trump but of course she will talk about trade deal with trump and he will certainly tell her yes of course we'd love to do that but we know what that is worse absolutely nothing because the way he leaves the u.k. which will be on sunday in order to go to helsinki to meet the russian president he will then have forgotten about it and sit in the airplane and just tweet the opposite of what he promised here so to reserve may for her this is not a big asset to me trump at this point in time because large number of britons really resent the. in president particular the they resent him meddling and directs it. considering they're trying to contain in the u.k. right now what else is on the u.s. president's itinerary. and what is all the highly choreographed in
10:12 pm
order to keep him out of london because protesters are lurking at every corner and to sort of have a program that makes it more or less impossible for him to speak publicly so he's going to see a military parade he will have a talk at to reserve may's country seat and then and that is probably for him the most important point of his visit here he's going to if she was the queen that's the bare minimum the queen can offer him but he is surely going to enjoy it and would be a fly on the wall during that sea barbie's all on the story for us tonight in london barbara thank you. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world is syrian state television says that government forces have raised the national flag over parts of the city that had previously been in rebel hands since two thousand and eleven the royal was the scene of the original

10:17 pm
this year u.s. officials have been meeting with the saudi energy ministry to discuss keeping up supply to avoid volatility trumpet ministration said it wants to deny iran revenue it's previously used to finance terrorism and speaking of oil the price continues to tumble younes court is following this for us on wall street hence how steep is this latest on all drug. well on wednesday we saw the biggest drop in the price of oil in more than three years and that's why the continued here on thursday had one point western texas intermediate term oil that gets traded here in new york drop below the seventy dollars per barrel well there is overall concern that if the trade war continues that this court temper of the chinese economy and that is one of the big. countries using oil saw that could be a damper on
10:18 pm
a demand and therefore it could drive prices a bit lower but then there's also the question what happens with venezuela what happens with iran if we might see a shortage in deliveries from those countries that actually could also bring the price of oil back up and we shouldn't forget just recently we reached the highest price of oil in a good four years so now we had a little step back and this market well now the military industrial complex defense stocks on the rise is all that is to trump's nato meeting on thursday. that was probably the main driver why we saw quite a spike in the stocks of companies like lockheed martin raith and also boeing which by the way gets almost a mouthful of their revenue from the broader defense industry donald trump believes that he made a point that nato members should basically immediately paid two or per cent of
10:19 pm
g.d.p. for a defense and actually increase the spending in the next couple of years to four percent of g.d.p. of that's realistic if it's going to happen remains to be seen but at least donald trump and investors believe so and that's why those stocks were among the biggest gainers the on wall street just have to see where the trump gets what he wants call it almost street thank you very much. now where does your data go when you die that's what the joint german court has had to decide brant it's a big question and people probably don't think about it daniel but it has been the topic of a court decision right here in germany today a german court handed down a landmark ruling elevating inheritance rights over private data protection the court ordered facebook to turn over the data which had belonged to their deceased daughter now the family had been in a legal battle for years claiming information in their daughter's facebook account could give clues to what caused her death. almost six years ago
10:20 pm
at teenage girl was run over by an underground train in berlin whether it was suicide or a tragic accidental still unknown the parents say that drug to get access to her facebook page to find out if the messages provided any clues although they have the loving code the said was blocked as facebook had already memory allies to account after facebook refused to grant them access the parents won a first case and twenty fifteen only for another court to overturn the ruling on the grounds that opening the account would compromise the privacy of the teenagers contacts. in the latest verdict the federal court ruled that the parents can inherit it thought his facebook account. so we have an. analogue documents like diaries and personal letters are readily passed on us from an inheritance point of view there's no reason to treat digital content differently you taught. us to bond
10:21 pm
. until now liar since activist advised people to make their own arrangements until such time that there was a final ruling caught on to i fundamentally advise people to take care of their estate one way to do that is by issuing a letter of authorization which can include how digital data is dealt with in case of death. nothing thank you designate someone you trust and ideally give them power of attorney. to form of to be given so it is imparted to take care of one stitch a legacy but not everyone is aware of that in the obviously so we're not going to i haven't thought about what happens to it when i die i want photos are also digital inheritance i now print them out for my daughter and put them into a little album on the top on the as open as i will and it's only sort of us old enough to think about if you have to so not at all no. really just to make the
10:22 pm
somewhat difficult topic because i'm personally affected right now since someone i know died and the question came up what happens to their funds but account. may be. that the deleted. never photo but i don't know the federal court's decision could now said the president for how germany deals with chile i can see in the future. and i'm joined now here to be here by digital journalist to get deeper into this topic and you know it's not one that people. think about very often what happens to my data after i die how did the court justify its verdict that inheritance right. our supreme well justified his decision by saying the years to the parents they also inherit a particular contract that the daughter went into with facebook close with facebook
10:23 pm
and then the parents also inherit their duties and the rights that are part of this contract which is the messages so they treat every message that the daughter sent to was a was a minor. and to only open the facebook account by permission of her parents. as a part of her digital legacy just like a law for that or other that are so low i'm going to say it's just like if your your children were to pass away and you were to find a diary you have access to that it's the same thing right so the very private that maybe you would otherwise never have see is that what we're talking about yes and the previous court ruling in berlin ruled that prioritize the previous the rights of the daughter over the right to know off of the parents but since the daughter also you know she was she was a minor and also a digital legacy is everything that is remains from you online now the parents
10:24 pm
have a way of crime to a way of getting more access into the act this decision it only applies here in germany right right what about other countries mean how are they dealing with the well i think it is a landmark ruling from what i've seen and hurt facebook has previously stated they have a worldwide policy of accounts and of the deceased and that is you can win once your life you can appoint a legacy contacts right so somebody that you appoint to can take over your account . some one other important topic around that is that facebook will turn your account into a so called memorial page one summer. one and there can be a friend or family member or or even like a distant friend's house facebook that used to see these and so you could send for example a link to an obituary and then this account gets turned into mario page that no one
10:25 pm
else can walk into and what's facebook saying about this because if you think about social media being online what you see in social media is always the best of people right it's always useful to people talk about don yes exactly i mean face folk also has to face this really important issue as not only western societies for example they ate but also facebook's user base is aging a lot and so facebook is turning into this big digital on lang graveyard and there will be a point in time when we have more accounts of deceased people then then people maybe and of course they have to be some kind of policies that are that give the user the best option what they are like it's fascinating and something we really don't think about but as you say we would be forced to think about it in the future theresa walker is always good talking with you thanks for your insights thank you.
