this is live from. london to mock the military alliances $71.00 of our strength french president emmanuel calls for. his criticism of the alliance. from president trump so will this route between the 2 leaders overshadow the summit . also on the program. the experts tell the climate summit in madrid the last decade has been the hottest. look at what it means for one in south africa.

problem comes to. talk about that she wants. i'm for the program. nato meeting in london marking the alliance's 75 of us 3 have sap begun acrimoniously before meeting with france's emmanuel writes president donald trump and declared that his country derives least a benefit from nato membership and hit out the french president describing the alliance as a brain dead but president trump sounded more conciliatory assy sat down for talks with president macro he said there were many areas where nato allies need to work together the pressure. i think.

rather. well president. financial cost should not be the primary consideration that the alliance had to be clear about what it was fall. and. the.

people. straight to london that. it does this mean that presidents. have differences. it's very remarkable reversal of roles if you have been following the nato summit in the past it is the u.s. president saying that nato actually is an important organization and it's a man who unlike all who appears to be the rebel right here but you're right it was a conciliatory meeting today much more conciliatory than many expected beforehand of course it doesn't mean that the problem problems are gone you have to imagine this not only because of what i knew in my call about nato being and i quote here

brain dead but also because of the fact that the united states have threatened to slap on some terrorists luxury goods from france so all of this has not been resolved but clearly the leaders including michael are trying to avoid big fights during the 17th 70th anniversary meeting of nato here in london and the quote we had after president talked about people fulfilling their commitments explaining claiming credit for reforming. it's certainly true that ever since the us president has been in office that contributions by other members especially european members including germany have skyrocketed and you know generally speaking people do say that this has something to do with they do not necessarily approve in the way he has done it many call it blackmail and they do not approve the tone in which he has done it but you have to

give it to him it's worked if you look at all the countries that now fulfill the 2 percent goal of nato which is the official goal to spend 2 percent of the g d p of the nation of gross domestic product on defense than this has worked for many more countries than beforehand and you can be sure that on the trump will point this out in the coming days. he's president. to me tonight with the leaders of britain germany and france said downing street about his ministry intervention in syria could you just outlined to us the various positions. between them on syria and whether we can expect anything sort of development from this meeting. in a very general way phil there are 2 different positions the one turkey of president ever won and the one by everybody else of course nato members are upset that out of one just had his troops go into northern syria without telling anyone else in nato

with whom you after all has an alliance that he was going to do that upsetting the whole balance in the region and but the problem also is that this is not officially part of the discussions here during this leader meeting and it's probably one of the most explosive topics here if not the most explosive topic and everyone has been known to not accept any kind of criticism in this and so they have to treat very very carefully in this respect nevertheless there is a meeting today on this including the german chancellor i'm going to medical including head to one including donald trump the u.s. president we haven't heard anything what what will what has come out of this meeting i think they are still meeting as we speak right here at the moment but 'd but we do expect that as with the meeting between that call interim they will be rather conciliatory but of course this problem isn't going to way they they have a step by step approach try not to bring the whole house down right away but try to

get everyone back into the fold of the alliance. to max hoffman in london have him palace and i thank you. as take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world germany's defense minister has made an unannounced visit to afghanistan where her country has a 1000 troops stationed on a great club card about said that nato mission to support afghan peace and stability should be extended beyond its current to end date of march next year. typhoon has hit the philippines leaving at least 2 people dead to wrench rain and winds topping no 150 kilometers an hour brought down trees and electrical posts and forced hundreds of thousands to evacuate manila's international airport was shut down with hundreds of flights canceled. today jet climate activist gratitude backers arrived back in europe after crossing the atlantic by boat the catamaran carrying docked in the portuguese kept lisbon she'd been attending climate protests

is located in south africa's great career the region is naturally dry but a severe drought is now taking its toll on humans and animals. this is their words that out that all being the 4th route that i've gone through this one walk through is about to be obvious the length of the doubt it's now lost the way we are another thing is. we are not being assisted anyway by by the government of the day. the dry land means there is no grazing so to keep his tuna half 1000 sheep and goats alive fun runs book has to spend $9000.00 u.s. dollars a month many farmers have to slaughter the animals will file for bankruptcy and with many dams now completely dried up the provincial government recently declared the eastern cape province a disaster area but farmers and residents

a still waiting for support. wendy tunes he has been living in the career town of gras fry net her whole life and we should go tap dry and the toilets weren't flush . the children are getting fakes people are getting sick. the town's water trucks don't come regularly and wendy is disappointed with the local authorities. what had over with. a friend nash is among the worst affected towns dams and rivers a bone dry in april the municipality received a 1000000 rand that's more than 200000 u.s. dollars in drought relief we try to find out what the money has been spent on and if a water management plan is in place but the mayor isn't available for an interview

with the south african disaster relief organization gift of the givers has now stepped in the end drills bore holes and distributes drinking water to the community. who struck enough water to supply at least 2000 children within the there's a war to it every day from now on until the municipality is back on track and they're going to take to the patient back and they can run again. it seems accountability and good governance and needed here every bit as much as rainfall is . maybe 3 months ago india's ambitions the times of making space history ended when it scientists lost communication with the dry on 2 spacecraft moments before it was supposed to touch down on the moon after months long search america's space agency nasa and now says it has located the crash site thanks to

a mission from india. is here with welcome peter so a space mystery solved by a mission of space detective yeah it's just like it's a really cool story this is just a regular guy from. who basically manage to do what some of the world's leading space i insist couldn't. his name is shanmuga super money and he's a 33 year old mechanical engineer and a self-proclaimed space not so when the indian mission control lost contact with the spacecraft he decided to join the search and see if you can find it so how did he do that well he did all of it from his laptop from his home he scoured satellite images that were shared by nasa. about a week after they were released he tweeted what he believed to be the crash site comparing an image of the target landing site before and after the spacecraft went missing and so he factis findings to nasa which then decided to take

a closer look. we should see the images right here again they compare before and after images of the supposed crash site and lo and behold it was doing a little bit maybe you can see that he was spot on you see it well suman a bit more there it is it's that little tiny white dot right there so i mean really talk about looking for neil and haystack seriously. you must be considered something of a hero right now yeah i mean especially in india which had a lot riding on this lunar mission you know truly as the space engineering feat as what it put in a very secluded club only 3 other countries the u.s. china and the former soviet union have managed to pull all these soft landings on the moon. and you would have done that at a much lower cost then most of the space missions about $140000000.00

that's even less than the budget of most hollywood blockbusters right. but i didn't suppose they didn't even that's the point because more than just the budget it was also this was an issue it becomes a matter of national pride especially for promising new. modi has be j.p. nationals hindu party who really happened trying to. sell india as. a big player on the national on the global scene that can you know hold its own. so landing on the moon would really have been that crowning jewel and you can imagine what a punch in the national guard it was when when that failed so from o.t. having an indian you know help at least locate the crash site that's been a way to say faced even though the mission you know failed to die thank you. thank you. the stacks of modern art currently stored in basements are to get a new house here in berlin today saw the groundbreaking ceremony for

a national museum of modern art the museum of the 20th century it was designed by the architects behind london's tate modern. priceless works of art waiting to be displayed darlene picasso bank man more whole. 4000 pieces of state and modern art stored in a basement. now plans to build the museum of the 20th century have been finalized the star architects behind hamburg elp philharmonie concert all designed it after years of delay construction is now set to begin it's going to end it 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 a little more than a tin cover. for the prestigious project has long been controversial loved by some mocked by others but many agree that berlin 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 when in force it's for a careful economist the pain threshold has already been surpassed that's why the f.t.p. 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 paul sides have agreed

to have the budget and the construction work checked twice a year. into sure 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 obligation to manage costs very very carefully getting guns guns as cost management tools to few and. the museum of the 20th century is expected to open its doors in 7 years time and the developers at least believe the current budget is realistic. and a mega repeat no and they are no messy have won football's prestigious ballon d'or awards after being recognized as the best female male players of the year. triumphed after lead united states to world cup glory argentina's and messi winner you know record 6 time after guiding barcelona to another spanish league title would he want to head of rival christina rinaldo. at mccambridge from date of the

sport can fill in the details for us welcome it starts with meghan repeat of she always seemed like the clear favorite but why for she was always a clear choice like you say this was a women's world cup year and we often tend to see when these international tournaments happen the start of foremost almost on its tense a farewell in the individual awards towards the end of the year and nobody perform better at world cup then megan rapinoe she led the u.s. to victory in france was awarded the golden bowl for the tournament star player and also finished top scorer so she couldn't really have done more in football in terms of to win the award in terms of that woke up this also probably for hot off the field exploits this year as well she's use that platform after winning that woke up to become a political activist we're seeing make some of her speeches now she campaigned from everything from gay rights to equal pay for. women and she really consistently criticized the trump administration in the us as well so she was a she was

a star both on the field and off the field and i think this award recognizes that ok so as you say she issues she's something of a communicator so one presumes that she's reactive on social media of course she wasn't actually in attendance at the sermon as she oh she appeared via video link and thank. everybody for the award but of course she posted to instagram as well and to see a post from her now where she said that the award was really for everybody for all the women out there were saying that now and that really falls in line with her belief that you know the power of sport can change the world she keeps saying that when she's campaigning you know it doesn't matter what your sexual preferences what your color is where you're from what your religion is people should come together to help change the world and a much closer vote on the men's side lino messy wedding for a record 6th time didn't deserve it or had anybody else had the season that messy it had you say well of course they deserved it but such a colossal standards that misuse of the last 10 years there are actually question marks around it this is a man who scored 51 goals in all competitions in 50 appearances for barcelona this

year for the club to a league and cup domestic double a people still saying perhaps he didn't deserve it but this was his 6th award and we're going to hear from him now that his reaction after winning his 6th bout of door. you know what i mean it was only imagine a bull for me to think i could win one ballon d'or never mind 6 but it's a pleasure to have so many and be the only one with 61 and it's great to have this recognition and that makes me very proud we're going to mention it was. so despite winning the award this year lots of football fans were back in liverpool's virgil van dyke square club in the champions league as national team did well so what counted against him while he was a bit of a hipster choice verge of a dark a lot of people wanted to see him win the award because defenders very rarely do just 4 have ever won this individual award. but i think the problem is for defenders is they do a lot the dirty work they very rarely get bored it's themselves you know but nobody

did the dirty work better than virgil van dyke she as you say he was the driving force behind liverpool winning the champions league and also finished runner up in the united nations makes a fantastic right to marry bridge from indeed it will shout out to the hipsters. so much of south america's most popular tourist attraction with more and more businesses trekking to the ancient citadel to accommodate the tourist boom indigenous women have recently begun working as porters on the andi and trails something that was previously impossible and what was an exclusively male domain. these 3 women have broken a taboo. malini dora annoy me are porters. they carry tourists baggage across peru's randian highland.

while the tourists head on to the evening campsite the porters pack up everything luggage tents and cooking gear it's a tough job but it brings in an income and allows them more independence from the men. in the evening the porters are introduced the mountain guide explains that they are now consciously hiring more women for more equality. here malini earns 90 year olds a week not bad in the peruvian andes. in the morning it's minus 3 degrees celsius the next pass will be the most difficult leg of the hike ascending to the pass at 4650 metres.

after lunch malini wants to share something that has been bothering her. you must know that our mothers were not allowed to go to school in earlier times they had to stay at home mom cook but the men could go to school. fortunately today everyone is equal and we women finally have the same rights. but they are still denied one right going to much of picture due to the large number of visitors only tourists are allowed the incas hid their holiest site from the spanish conquerors for centuries now thousands of tourists poor through the ruins every day . the question is how long will the world treasure much you picture you be able to cope with all the attention. in the warm you up as
