alex for longer you're the boy. the boat . this is deja news coming to you live from bonnie and major leaders gather in london to mark the military alliances 70th anniversary president declares that the u.s. benefits at least of all war from alliance is still feeling the point of contention at the meeting down by divisions also coming up dried up visit was and parched land

rather experts tell climate summit in madrid that in the last decade has been the hottest on record to look at what it means to one farmer in south africa. and the ballon d'or goes to women's football or meghan pino and took me on a messy take in the trophy for the record 6th time we talk about the achievements with our sports correspondent. helen welcome i'm honored that you my good to have you with us. a meeting leaders meeting in london to mock the alliance a 70th anniversary has got off to an acrimonious stot us president done trying declared that the united states gets the least benefit from nato commit nato secretary-general against altenburg ahead of the meeting which aims to discuss

issues including defense financing russia and to try to cyber security from china president trump also lashed out at the french president in modern mcchrystal after the french lead as only a comments that nato was braindead. i would say that you know very nice day for the french you just look back over the last quarter nobody believes they don't want to. and frankly the one benefit is really the least is the stairs we're better believe we're helping your or your rights and go against a common foe maybe not be. there of course. but nobody needs more friends that's where they get one for it's makes a statement like that. it's a very dangerous standard for them to. let's go straight to london and to our correspondent terry shows welcome terry even before the meeting has got underway

does all of this acrimony we heard what donald trump had to say about the french president where does this all leave us of why are we seeing this kind of action many what can we expect from this meeting. i'm reading of course every time nato leaders get together they all want to use the spotlight to get their own points across i think that maybe some allies will actually be encouraged to hear what president trump said about president mcclellan's criticism of the alliance of course normally it's trump who's the critic in chief of nato so if he's defending the alliance perhaps it's a good thing although i don't think it's completely true to say that france needs needs nato most there may be some countries along the russian border who feel like it's even more essential to their survival so yeah this is this breakfast where president truck made these comments could remind all of us of the kind of things he

said last year at a breakfast with president sultan about chancellor merkel and being dependent on russian gas so 'd i think it was pretty brave of the alliance to schedule another breakfast with president trump just as things got under way here today to his credit stoltenberg just made a joke about it saying you know it was a great omelet good toast all paid for by the united states. another very contentious issue which is expected to come up terry is president. from turkey saying he will block need 2 plans to make progress in protect better protecting the border take states what does want to see like you to get it. yes these are very serious issues because of course in a alliance that acts by consensus any country can block further progress and what turkey is saying is that it wants more support from other allies to declare groups kurdish groups that it considers as terrorist organizations also as terrorists that

would mean that the united states would have to declare the kurdish group in northern syria with which it's a light itself why p.g. as a terrorist organization that's not going to happen the u.s. has made clear so we'll have to see if turkey stands on this statement as a way to block further progress on anything of course turkey has a lot it wants from other allies it wants the patriot missile systems to remain in turkey it once more back up on in northern syria so this is a bargaining chip and we'll see how turkey plays out with a y p g but the u.s. defense secretary on his way to london said it's not going to happen that the y.p. g. is declared a terrorist group by the united states at least until we have to remind us all these nato need is there to mock the 17th anniversary of need to or even may be celebrated but all these divisions you're talking about and really hearing does it seem to need to reinvent itself to better align itself to the new realities of the

world. that's something nato has been facing for a long time since the end of the cold war and i don't think anyone would argue that it doesn't need to reinvent itself of course nothing organized after world war 2 is going to be relevant today that's why they declared cyberspace as an operational domain that's why here at this meeting tomorrow they're going to add space as a 5th operational demain the alliance does need to adapt to challenges it just didn't expect that most of those challenges on its 70th birthday would be coming from inside instead of outside it's definitely looking more like a birthday bash than a celebration of the right terry chanson london keep track of the developments and of course we get back to you when you have more news thank you very much for that update from london. some of the stories making news around the world die from comrie has lashed the philippines bringing to rancher rains and

but 1st the results of the latest study by the program for international student assessment or pisa have just been published it compares academic performances of high school students around the world now students from a group of 4 chinese. provinces got the best score what 5th place still india was the highest ranked nation from europe germany is still middle of the road as far as industrialized nations go in 28 position but the study found that students did worse than 3 years ago in all main areas including reading science and mathematics . new this time is a focus on reading literacy in a digital age now the results show that only one in 10 students in germany is able to distinguish facts from opinions or fiction and that german schools really use digital media in their teaching if you visited a school in berlin that has integrated distilled literacy into it's time to use but

also knows about the struggles that you may. have said today anamika aca months is using this report about greater turnback and to teach these schoolchildren how to recognize fake news the students are asked to critically analyze every detail of the text and it's a picture since a tractor to do ok so you think there's also. a bit yeah i also think it's anyone can write anything the website ok we are learning about democracy and one very important part is that you are a critical consumer and that you know ok not only are we fighting for the environment that is for future that is one part of it. but also that you. ok what is what am i reading actually is this true is not true how do i do with it what it trying to tell me is proper or not and there's

a lot online it's of them scary to see what the kids get on their phones for the international and that's mandela school in berlin has received awards for its digital education at this great school classroom has 4 tablets and 3 computers making it better equipped than most other schools. to get it really good and there will always be marketed knowledge and cool technological inventions we don't want to wake up in 2030 and realize we got stuck in 2019. and i didn't think that then very yet if we can scratch the surface of these subjects today then tomorrow we'll understand more sometimes the teachers themselves get in the way of learning many are skeptical of technology or don't want to admit that they don't understand something so they don't integrate digital media into the educational process. it doesn't rule out as teachers you know we are

still very important i would say because we have to manage that we have to provide that material for them. we are sort of like the guide on the side not longer the sage on the stage do the students integrate digital media into their lives after school of course lily and elaine can't wait until school is over to check their cell phones and see what they missed during the school day what's going on i use what's app a lot i like what's up snap chat and take talk because there are a lot of fun which. you can make your own videos but they should also learn how to correctly gauge the dangers of the internet. to the news in chile dozens of students have staged protests at metro stations around the capital santiago he jumped on stiles and had to commute as a boy paid for tickets angle over

you know she has been given loads of speeches this year becoming a real public figure and i think that might have contributed to it too but women's football the international game is valued a bit of a club football there and lost is when i say hey you're back only made 4th place despite winning the champions league again and has she reacted to the way we have megan rapinoe was actually not at the ceremony she was unable to attend it's not clear exactly why but we can have a look at the instagram post that she posted as a reaction praising her team repeatedly and we can see the very last right at the end of the post she said we all long and while i'm truly honored to win the bottom 2 i'd like to accept this on behalf of a source of very much putting the team at the center of when absolutely and so inclusive in such an icon now on the mend. it was much closer to missy has won for the record 6 times but what was his ia like well last season it was a great season by anyone's standards maybe not by his so individually he scored 50

goals in 51 games but he only won the spanish league title and nothing else but there wasn't all too much competition let's see what he had to say about his record when. you know that i mean it was unimaginable for me to think i could win one bottle and all never mind 6 but it's a pleasure to have so many and be the only one with 61 and it's great that there's recognition and that makes me very proud. it was. so congratulations to him and see that many fans of liverpool. hoping that he might win what went against him well a lot of a lot of experts and fans were hoping that maybe he would get in there because usually when i'll do a messy albeit last year was luca moderates but of on dyke he had a fantastic season winning the champions league with liverpool and winning the nation's league with the netherlands but defenders usually come short when it comes to only 4 defensive players have won the ball and on his history the last time that

happened was in 2006 fabio kind of otto because you know you don't have those goals stats that make you look a bit more attractive to voters you don't have that flashy type of play and they fall short and it was a shame i think because if any if at any time in recent history a defender has had a standout year it was it was this year with virgil van dyke so maybe now the time for him. says thank you very much. now in the northern hemisphere it's that time of fear when the oceans are at their most still brilliant ripped out by winter winds the british photographer rachel taliban has a love of the sea the specially the reeds the hometown on the southeast coast of england her photos capture the power and the mystery of the sea to look. when the sea churns and whales when the tides come in and gales with the water

earthly qualities but she also senses that now it poses an entirely new kind of menace i've spent a lifetime looking out to see i'm not this coast and i'm not a scientist but it fails to me that the incidence of severe storms on this coast has grown which from the photographic perspective based quite exciting but is obviously also has other ramifications. but when the sea becomes smooth and tranquil at any time it's time for rachel tom the party to head home again. here's a recap of the top story that your fall big fee you. president donald trump has attacked france's president mccraw for calling nato brain dead trump said france needed the alliance more than any other member but he also said the u.s.
