70th birthday with other leaders of the world's biggest military alliance 2 days of talks and dominated by finances differences on how to approach russia and the cyber threats posed by chinese 5 g. telecom companies president trumps expected to continue to pressure allies to spend more and to back plans for a space based nato force. or while president trump is taking a more conciliatory approach to nato now member states are at odds over key issues 70 years after its formation the unity of the alliance is under growing strains. nato performs on an impressive scale exercises like this united and with clear leadership but the political reality often looks different better quarrels occur frequently the latest on tiger nest french president emanuel macron he criticized

me to his brain dead in an interview with british news magazine the economist a damaging political slap in the face just before the meeting in london reported on my call president micro is very media savvy and knows how these things were and he knows how to make his voice heard. i was glad that the timing before the meeting in london was chosen deliberately. look at all who knew. the french president's remark was mainly aimed at turkey for its military operations undertaken without consulting nato partners turkey is a geo strategically important nato member but it has stepped out of line with its offensive in northern syria nato the only major western military alliance was paralysed to intervene another problem turkey has entered an arms deal with russia buying a strategic missile defense system. more experts have

agreed for months and even years that there's a problem with the alliance. a problem that u.s. president donald trump has exacerbated time and again america's withdrawal from syria surprised the alliance showing that the most powerful until name most reliable nato member is acting without consulting its european partners well known a problem of the now we have a problem with the americans a problem in the west with transatlantic relations why the americans see the europeans the problem not the solution you know problem. nato secretary general u.n. stoltenberg is under pressure he's seeking a clear commitment from all members 1st strong alliance for stoltenberg it's also a budgetary issue last year's we have seen that have started to increase again more troops more exercises more investments start in barrick also try to get mccrone on

board during a short visit to paris but without success france's president repeated his criticism. that there probably needed to be a wake up call and i'm happy that i was able to spark a debate and that we can now think about our strategic goals. objectives strategic but stoltenberg did receive support from barry lynn german chancellor angela merkel defended nato. and isn't of this time we depend on this transatlantic alliance and that's why it's right for us to work for this alliance and take on more responsibility. 70 years since the defense alliance was founded the global security situation is much more complex than it was during the cold war. well a powerful storm has made landfall in the philippines typhoon comrie is heading towards the capital manila at this hour bringing rains winds topping 150 kilometers per hour this typhoon has brought flooding and knocked out power in

a number of provinces more than 200000 people have fled to safety the knolls international airport has suspended operations and the war geysers of the southeast asian games have had to cancel events. let's get the very latest from the philippines now let's bring in. santos joining us from manila can you tell us what's happening where you are. i'm here at the philippine weather bureau where visuals have confirmed that a fluke mari has made landfall a 4th time and ran back in manila were already starting to feel the rains picking up and weather officials told us that we should expect heavy consistent rain throughout the evening storm surge warnings remain and also flooding is a flash point or a major watch point for residents of the new that and surrounding communities surrounding provinces. have to i have to tell you that for many people here and

many of them there it's so i'm sure about flooding many still remember the years before when we had our worst flood and waters reached up to the rooftops so many residents will be holding their breath until tomorrow when taken kemarre is expected to exit out and dump its brains out into the west philippine sea ok now sorties are evacuating thousands of people it's very difficult of course in remote areas house proceeding in those remote areas we're getting some images of the clean up exercises that get the roads clear to the communities that are outside of manila . well there were. evacuations since yesterday local government officials were literally like foot soldiers going door to door knocking on people's houses and begging them pleading them with them and reasoning with them to move out of their house and into an evacuation center where they could

be safe so that there's a lot of people that are ready to evacuation centers now the challenge now is to see what happens to those who are left behind or who refuse to leave as you said there are still some roads that are blocked because of all the debris and all the trees and once those are blocked we'll have better access to those areas and officials will be able to give us a better update on the status of the damage and give the residents were left there or those. i want to thank you ok and it's not just residents who are affected we have thousands of tourists coming in for the southeast asian games as well we understand a number of events have been canceled. those events that are happening dorris like canoeing windsurfing skateboarding polo match have all been rescheduled but the 15 officials of the sea games said that the games will not be extended beyond. december and that. honest answers for us from manila with that thanks very

descends. wired the planet burns. and the pressure is on the last 5 years where the warmest since humans began recording temperatures extreme weather events are more common sea levels continue to rise to dangerous new levels. pollution in the atmosphere and in our oceans is devastating ecosystems. but so far most countries are still heading in the wrong direction scientists say the vital markers of climate change are predicted to rise not fall in the coming decade emerging economies are burning more coal and the us one of the largest producers of greenhouse gas emissions pulled out of the paris agreement the u.s. delegation says that will change unfortunately we are having to fight our way through

a bit of a. blocked by the fossil fuel industry but that will not prevail meanwhile europe is setting its sights on leadership the new head of the european commission ursula vander lyon said europe is prepping to blaze the trail to an economy that prioritizes eco friendly innovation climate. 2015 the european green deal is europe's new growth strategy it will cut emissions while also creating jobs funded lyon said the e.u. wants to create a transition to climate neutrality that is irreversible with plans to invest one trillion euro in the next decade to make europe the 1st climate neutral continent in the world the race is on to see who can create leadership that finally brings results. so who's going to win this race our political correspondent kate bray

joins us now in the studio good morning to you. re talking about being carbon neutral by 2050 the pressures on countries like germany to do that what would a carbon neutral germany look like well germany said lee isn't winning the race right now to become carbon neutral by 20 or 50 that's for sure but it is still possible but that would be germany all 2050 would heavily rely on renewable energy of course that's something that we're already seeing develop here in germany and already solar and wind power for example accounts for about 45 percent of germany's energy that said the half a some huge setback in recent years particularly when it comes to wind power have been a lot of legal cases opened by normal members of the public who are opposing more wind farms some of them saying that they want to know in my backyard exactly the same as nimbys they were known as and they want to know what the potential health hazards office and of course germany as well at the same time right now is trying

to offset that decision after the fukushima disaster to close down its nuclear power plant so at the moment it is certainly possible and germany is still continuing to invest in renewable energy and that would be one of the one of the main factors in creating a carbon neutral germany but of course i'm trying to imagine a gemini with no cars for example is simply out of the question stood out goals isn't exactly we've actually seen the number of cars owners actually increased in recent years and so germany's beloved also industry is certainly not something that's going to disappear overnight and is a country where you can even get a limit on the speed limit on a autobahns you know the numbers we're talking about one trillion over the next 10 years and they're sent task numbers i mean huge numbers and the german government the same time is ruling out any kind of deficit spending house germany going to square the circle how can it. structure and not go into deficit spending create

a green economy in the places it's only possible and that's already being some cities as well to suggest that there are alternatives that would cost the same amount of g.d.p. that germany currently spends on fossil fuel impulse at the moment say especially if we saw a restructure of renewable energy and particularly using hydrogen for example as an alternative to fossil fuels but that said the german government did announced earlier this year this $60000000000.00 climate policy but if you listen to any of the loudest critics those say that is simply not enough and right now germany is still sitting on this huge surplus while the government is very much obsessed it's really created this fetish really around the shots and no this black 0 of keeping a balanced budget in germany and again the you know the loudest critics say is simply not enough and germany needs to take a leading role in combating climate change particularly and europe and that is going to cost money ok and it is benefiting the green party right now the gretta

fact is benefiting them politically is certainly i mean in the recent months we've seen these green policies shoot through the polls they're currently the 2nd strongest policy in germany and it is very likely that we will see the greens as part of the next german governments of course that will then also have an effect on germany's climate policy as well and we're also seeing especially young people in germany as a result of this could effect as you called it you know it was the more young people turning out onto the streets and calling there the climate policy here in germany and to questions well they want to see a more ambitious plans from the german government but at the moment that does only seem to be having a limited effect on the actual actions of the governments of course at the moment they are the same at least to be unwilling to renegotiate that climate policy because you have to see what comes out of madrid in the weeks ahead kate thanks very much. this is deja vu news live from berlin still to come on the show berlin's

icons of modern art stored in a basement bust for much longer the german government has given the go ahead for a new gallery to display these works of art take a look at the plans. but 1st phase the un's international day of disability it's an opportunity to promote the well being of some 1000000000 people that's nearly one in 7 on our planet who have some kind of disability this able to have seen their opportunities improve in many places but in some countries it's still difficult to get a job or an education like in. so it's the tables ready for banquet or yangon hotel she has difficulty walking and is one of 13 disabled workers at this hotel. including this cook who is deaf and a floor through as

a perspective left leg below the knee and. when i got this job i felt encouraged that i can do something and that i can help support my family. that. this situation is all too rare myanmar were 85 percent of adults with moderate to severe disabilities are unemployed. and about 2 out of every 3 disabled children are not in school vicky bowman the director of the myanmar center for responsible business says the disabled in myanmar face adversity for many directions so the main problem is that people disabilities face in mammo is that there is next to no government support for them there are very few government institutions supporting them and within the school system does no established way to help children so as a result discrimination starts from a very early age children disabilities are excluded from school and then this goes on to have an impact on their ability to get jobs and lights along. i mean you have

to win is one of the most visible advocates for the disabled a man maher from his appearances on local television in meetings across the country with disabled people to discuss ways to improve their lives and ways you know we have a fission to create a 0 discrimination environment for education jobs and mall. owners patients say we're sure he knows many of the challenges firsthand. and you have to win has cerebral palsy and needs help with basic things whether it's just taking a seat or eating dinner. but that is not stop this married father of 2 sons he has a university degree and owns a real estate agency as well as a printing company he also started a foundation to help the disabled but me as to when acknowledges that throughout his life he has had resources that most disabled people ma'am are do not have his family could afford to hire people to accompany him to school as

a child and his professional success and nails and to have assistance by his side today but he's fighting alongside other advocates to help the disabled in this impoverished country get more support progress in recent years includes more job training programs strengthening relationships with businesses so more of them hire disabled workers and spreading the word across the country to try to inform all families and educators that disabled children have a legal right to go to school and that they belong there step by step advocates for the disabled are chipping away at the barriers in this country but they say continued progress requires changing the attitudes of the general public. we have to stop people from making any judgments so they don't think that a disabled person doesn't really need schooling because even if they graduate they won't be able to get a job we have to change that mindset. it's a long road ahead but me at do when another advocates say they'll keep fighting to

help the disabled have the quality of life they deserve. now stacks of baader in art currently stored in basements are to finally get a new home a groundbreaking ceremony is due to take place here in berlin later for the museum of the modern it's designed by the very same architect behind the teak modern gallery in log. priceless works of art waiting to be displayed. picasso bank man warhol 4000 pieces of stage and modern art stored in a basement. now plans to build the museum of the 20th century have been finalized the stop attacks behind hamburg elp feel how many concert hall designed it after years of delay construction is now set to begin it's come here and now we can finally present 20th century are appropriately culture ministers have to accept very expensive construction is these days especially if we are to build the right

kind of museums for sophisticated art. building costs have already doubled to about $450000000.00 euros before ground was even broken in the 1st draft design the museum was too close to a protected historic church now it's supposed to be build narrow and deep or another story below the water level the architect says the costs are no surprise. there that this works cost billions you have to realize you can't just make a building that's little more than a tin cover. for the prestigious project has long been controversial loved by some mocked by others but many agree that bella needs a modern art museum and the empty space at the cultural forum is a chance to prove that the german capital can build a beacon of the art world. the government has approved about 364000000 euros for the project but not everyone supports it going in for

a careful economist the pain threshold has already been surpassed that's why the f. . he did not vote with the other parliamentary groups we have to accept the majority of our solution but costs will need to be tracked very closely both sides have agreed to have the budget and the construction checked twice a year. yes into the shore of course ready to convince the critics that this is a great building that the science is necessary to present the works properly but given the amount that's been approved it's clear that we and especially those in charge have an extreme of legation to manage costs very very carefully getting guns guns and it's cost management to fix a few and. the museum of the 20th century is expected to open its doors in 7 years time and the develop is at least believe the current budget is realistic. let's talk football now and maybe a repeat of the u.s. in argentina's barcelona star lionel messi has been awarded football's long door as the best female and male players of the year max merrill's here to talk about that

deserves forsworn max. why did the judging panel choose megan rypien well she was the clear choice and not just for performance on the pitch but kind of also off the pitch she's really turned into somewhat of an icon over the last few months and it's it was a little odd to see a not attend the ceremony we're not clear as to why she was unable to come as she did attend the fee for the best ceremony early in the year but the ballon d'or feminin has only existed for 2 years this is the 2nd time it's been awarded but she really transcended this for i mean we can see here her giving speeches that's something that she was doing a lot this year as well after that world cup triumph that she led the usa to she was the player of the tournament in that tournament and the joint top score as well with 6 goals so fantastic performance absolutely and we can see also from this win the difference here to the men's game that the the international game is valued of

a club football she obviously won the world cup but for instance last year when a the hague a bad. won the champions league again this year but she only came 4th so a clear difference that's the men's game ok let's talk about the men's game lionel messi winning for the 6th time in 10 years that's incredible yes it is i mean and it's sort of business as usual for him this season which means incredible numbers but he he wasn't really necessarily everyone's favorite choice but what comes that individual moment this season posses and in 50 games in all competitions he scored 51 goals for boss alone a. little less successful 3rd place at the copa america where he would have hoped to have finally won a title with his national side but he has an interesting lee the ballon d'or since 2015 so quite the gap for someone who's been so dominant in this these past few years but he as you rightly say has now want to wreck old 6 moving want to head of

christiane elder and we can take a listen to how he reacted to that you know that i mean it was unimaginable for me to think i could win one bottle never mind 6 but it's a pleasure to have so many and be the only one with. great sadness recognition and that makes me very proud. as you know it was ok there was another man who was up for this award over from liverpool virgil van dyke what can you tell us about him well you know he was kind of maybe the fans and experts popular choice because defenders get overlooked traditionally by the ballon d'or they're less flashy of course on the pitch and also the stats don't read as well as for an attacking player only for defenders in the past have won the award and vandyke i think the outside choice for this one people were hoping that maybe he would be given the award but he came 2nd which is still a very good achievement he won the champions league and the nation's league with netherlands so a good year for him not capped off entirely and he's young enough to have a shot

a guy absolutely yes max thanks very much for coming in today. well coming up we have more football kickoff that's the latest from the german bundesliga and don't forget you can always get more on these and other stories at our website w dot com for now though for me brian thomas me entire team thanks me for. bomb boy. oh boy.
