donald trump has criticized for not spending enough on defense made the announcement while hosting the polish president at the white house. things are looking up for the u.s. polish alliance trump welcomed his guest polish president on jury duty with an f. $35.00 fly over to poles want to purchase more than 30 of the u.s. made far to jets a deal like that gets a reward over a fireplace shot trying to suggest that a 1000 additional troops could be relocated from germany to poland we have $52000.00 troops in germany. and germany is not living up to what they're supposed to be doing with respect to nato and poland is i have to congratulate you thank you very much poland is seeking more security from the u.s. to quell its concerns about russian activity as well as military equipment the 2 leaders signed a multi-billion dollar deal for the sale of u.s. liquefied gas to poland. for duda the international visit is also about

national politics poland will hold parliamentary elections later this year shortly before the vote due to wants trump to make an appearance to take part in world war 2 commemorations. on the presidential just a moment mr president we all hope that you'll visit us in poland in september when we mark the anniversary of the invasion by nazi germany. gave up a victory. trump says he'll consider the invitation for what would be his 2nd official visit to poland. and our washington bureau chief alexandra phenomena followed his visit at us this is us. poland has positioned itself as a reliable ally of the trump administration at a time when other european countries among them germany are critical of donald

trump and his decisions the polish president was through warded with a warm welcome at the white house and the promise to deploy additional u.s. troops to that country troops that could be shifted away from germany the u.s. president warned donald trump used this occasion once again to criticize germany for not spending enough on defense he's coalmines where the latest sign of how you as german ties have eroded in recent years and let's get more now from our political correspondent thomas sparrow who is joining us here in the studio what are we to make of tom's comments well 1st of all they're not necessarily new we've heard in the past from donald trump but what he thinks about germany when it comes to germany's defense spending that he would like germany to spend much more than what the country spending we've heard before from donald trump his criticism about germany's planned north to pipeline with russia and watch the views there of

germany becoming hostage of russia those were his words not mine so in a sense this is not new the possibility that there could be sanctions when it comes north is maybe a further development of all this but as our xandra correctly pointed to from washington i would interpret donald trump's words as a. sign of what is becoming a very troubled relationship between washington and now that the possibility of sanctions has been firmly put on the table should the german government be worried they should certainly consider it and look at that very carefully or bridge or that they are doing that already as i say drums comments on nordstrom too are not new we've heard that many times before but we look at those comments by donald trump we also have to look at a separate issue when it comes i mean not only about energy security donald trump mentioned yesterday in the meeting with the. what he described as a vital element namely energy security the united states as he pointed out is becoming a very important energy supply and particularly liquefied natural gas or l.

and g. and the u.s. already exporting l.n.g. to many parts of the world including new contract with poland so when we look at all this we have to understand that donald trump is not only criticizing germany because he believes germany will become hostage of russia it is also doing so because it has very particular interest when it comes to its own energy supply and these energy exports that he's been talking about let's talk about the images that we saw from the white house and he said today there we saw trump sitting side by side really presenting themselves now as best friends what does it mean for the relationship between germany and poland germany is relationship to poland is extremely important as neighboring countries has been so for a very long time but in the last few years it has been strained we've heard from poland different things that are happening that are not necessarily in line with the way germany views it so this maybe doesn't mean anything practical between germany and poland the fact that the u.s. and poland signing a contract when it comes to energy when it comes to defense but it does mean that

germany again is facing challenges when it comes to its views not only from neighbors like poland also from partners far away the united states and it has to deal with them accordingly so i wouldn't say there will be any practical outcome from this when it comes to german polish relationship but obviously it is it is something that indeed germany will have to consider very carefully what it looks not only of his relationship with the united states but also on his relationship with old thomas thanks for the analysis. that a quick check now some other stories making news around the world it's a very site phone that was due to hit the west coast of india has changed course and is unlikely to make landfall cycle in value was supposed to strike the state of gujarat today with gusts of up to 180 kilometers an hour tens of thousands of people were evacuated in anticipation of the storm. algy p.t. q activists in ecuador are celebrating after the country's constitutional court granted same sex couples the right to marry the decision comes after

barricades that protesters left around government buildings this morning's calm follows violent clashes some 70 people were injured as police fired tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd a much smaller number of protesters have assembled in the city center today under heavy security. correspondent a taste voluntary joins us now from hong kong so tell us what the situation is in hong kong today after those protests turned violent on wednesday i mean we do see the police standing there behind you. yes behind we use a smaller stand off a piece of people holding paper with. slogans written on it asking the police not to shoot the youngsters and the police who have a barrier in between and they're standing there this is a peaceful standoff. so far we see very little direct

confrontation the young people they are around they are regrouping they are bringing their supplies of head in the sand goggles on water bottles to safe places and they're waiting what is going to how. when the police have cordoned off. the government and parliamentary buildings have erected barriers around so pretty much everybody is waiting what happens next and the protesters themselves they say ultimately that the hong kong chief executive carried lab has sold them out to beijing what is her record on relations with china. the hong kong system makes sure that the chief executive is friendly towards business beijing is from the probe agene com that's the electoral system the electoral college says composition so any chief executive will have to.

be on friendly terms with beijing if she wants to be reelected and this bill is something that the beijing government has made very clear that it wants it and it's very clear why it wants it so a lot of people from mainland china have sought refuge previously in hong kong people who were accused of corruption for example also hong kong booksellers for example have published books that were very critical of the chinese party china has abducted some of these people from hong kong they reappeared in chinese courts a clear violation of any law but don't come government has not protested against it so the suspicion that this law is courting mated with beijing at least is not something that you need a lot of time to see to come to this conclusion committee where does the movement go from here what are the goals. it all

depends on where the bill goes if the government if parliament takes up the discussion of the bill again if the 2nd reading that could not take place yesterday will happen one of these days i am sure a lot of people will try to take to the streets again what will happen then we don't know whether we will see any violent clashes like yesterday peaceful mass protests like last sunday nobody knows but i don't think this is over any time soon mathias ballinger in hong kong thank you. to mali now where the authorities have confirmed. arms that 35 people were killed in a massacre on sunday night not 95 as originally reported gunmen surrounded a village and submitted to and submitted it to a 7 hour assaults now the attack has stirred fears of tit for tat violence in the region and ethnic patchwork where tensions have soared since a violent jihadist led movement emerged in 2015 that's despite the presence of

international combat forces german troops are taking part in 2 missions in africa whole region trying to keep people safe but its commanders say that they are increasingly concerned about whether they're having much effect. these are german bundeswehr soldiers talking to mali and cattle herders they're looking to make contact with locals while out on foot patrol in the province around gowan eastern mali they want to help people feel safe but they're also gathering information about recent violence security is a problem and tensions have soared here there's ongoing conflict between the country's ethnic groups and the growing threat of islam isolation in schools something you saw the sassoon put i think it's a good thing that we're here on the one hand if we weren't things would be even worse and on the other we're trying to help people but of course we can only act within the framework of the un mandate and that means there are certain limitations

and certain possibilities and we just type. it's the job of this un peace mission to stop attacks and stabilize the situation here dozens of countries are taking part germany has sent about $750.00 soldiers and they're based at a campaign get out but despite an international un troop presence since 2013 ethnic conflicts are getting worse dozens of people were killed on sunday in the center of the country where there are hardly any troops or security forces the money director of the german n.g.o.s. says the u.n. missions mandate just isn't broad enough. percent. they may have a presence in the country but they're in a camp or in barracks. and they have a mandate that 1st and foremost says they're supposed to monitor things. on those he knew that doesn't really help the people training money in combat in security forces is also part of the job molly in the taught how to shoot about

military strategy and how to map read at an office a school including. german brigadier general peter mirror has been leading the e.u. training mission in mali now he's passing the baton on to an austrian with mixed feelings. amongst them to hear him talking on if every day you encounter a worsening security situation i've noticed that security in mali has significantly deteriorated since november there is interest make violence at the center of mali but this resulted in substantial casualties and that is indeed cause for concern. unless it was organise. into communal violence has killed hundreds in mali this year alone hardest attacks have multiplied in recent years and millions are growing increasingly frustrated by authorities failure to offer than adequate protection.

the woman's world cup saw some heavyweight games on wednesday public is here with all of the actually have to talk about germany because this was a really hard fought for the germans wasn't it wasn't he'd know they didn't perform as well as expected in fact staying there pretty much dominated possessions right off the game but germany have a very solid defense and in the end they managed to get what they needed which was the result which was one they'll win but i think what we need to do is actually take a look at this report. germany with the injured star midfielder general john were under pressure against spain who created more chances early on but shortly before the break germany applied their own pressure of the cross alexander potts header popped out and sell it to a bridge was there to pick up the pieces giving germany a one goal lead. after the restart germany kept up the momentum pop again with the header but this time the keeper kept hold. despite spain having the lion's share of

the ball they couldn't crack the germany defense a late appeal for a pivotal team was turned down. we are really happy to have picked up this very important 3 points it took a lot of energy and we had a lot of luck in the opening few minutes with the win germany now topped the group with 6 points and are all good through. well there you have a nice cress said their old book true to the next rambo that their unbeaten in 14 games have yet to lose to spain after 5 meetings so great result for germany it wasn't the only great result yesterday and there were a number of other matches we have just talked about the host 1st of all that's right france of course and they took on norway and that was an interesting game they are considered the side that's according to the country's coach co he. she said of course they're playing in front of the home crowd so they have you know the support of so many fans and in fact $35000.00 fans packed at the stadium in nice to

watch their clash at their 21 win against norway and what we really need to do is actually take a look at the action because you can see here they opened the scoring that's france of course straight after the breakthrough valente. but french quickly turned to shock sara as somehow vendors and i managed to steer the ball into her own net a penalty was then awarded to france after a video review and youzhny less so mare fired in so as i said there france great result for them and they may be one of the potential winners of the a lot of people are saying that they could sort of steal it on a course like us that they have at home crowd behind them and they're now topping group and that's also in their group we have nigeria and south korea well niger. they defeated south korea in kind to record their 1st win of the campaign so great result for them they got off to what can only be described as

a dream start but it wasn't a dream start for as says korean player kim young un if you see the action here coming up she attempted a clearance but wrong footed her own goalkeeper to basically east nigeria to meet in the 29th minute that's one of those moments that definitely room want to forget and nigeria's. put the game to bed in the 2nd half so a great result for nigeria against south korea 2 male there and ground 0 and we have a lot of action coming up later today too we do indeed on a stray you need to win after losing their opener to italy they're taking on brazil another big game that i would take a look at is south africa they're taking on china and both teams lost their opening games so they really need to pick up a win so it's going to be a good clash to watch both of them are actually ok fantastic public thank you so much thanks there. if you're watching g.w.
