want. not quite cordial combative tone pervaded the news conference with u.s. president donald trump and his french counterpart emanuel mark hong at the nato meeting in london on tuesday trump sharply rebuked mccraw for saying in an interview with the magazine the economist last month that quote what we are currently experiencing is the brain death of nato. it's a very tough statement to make when you have such. as you look at what's going on during certain parts of this exhibit here you just can't go around making statements like you know it's very disrespectful. micron however did not back down. in my statement we. shake a little bit. the 2 leaders seem to have differing visions

of the role of nato. and frankly what it really believes is. that belief helping your. cause. another of the alliances big players german chancellor angela merkel remain upbeat about nato with all of the differences but of course we'll have to discuss them we have to talk about the future of nato and the strategic partnership i'm fairly optimistic about this meeting. optimism alone however it will not be enough to bridge the divide within the alliance. hoffman he is covering the summit force in london he said. major leaders would have

a lot of reasons to squabble here in london there have been many problems multi-layered problems in the last weeks but it almost seems like they've struck a truce saying let's not talk about this not right now at least because we're here to celebrate the 70th anniversary of nato but that doesn't mean that truce will hold if you think about it money would not cost the french president's statements about the so-called brain death of nato or about trump's repeated criticism of european allies not spending enough on defense or what turkey is doing in northern syria that all gives us reason to question whether this truce will really hold on wednesday the 2nd day of the leaders' meeting here in london. and that was mexico reporting from london also high on the agenda at this nato summit turkey and its military intervention in northern syria which was the subject of talks at 10 downing street earlier this evening and back in october turkish troops launched an

acidity of the oceans which may affect the marines life if you kill lots of species it could yes because if they are not at death that are that they cannot adapt like that quickly to that situation you are a meteorologist you deal with the weather do you think that science is as well as journalists are we doing a good job at educating the public about how whether climate and climate change or connected. well i'm not quite sure that it is really optimal how how we are communicating things because there is the issue of likelihood it's that is greatly underestimated so in my opinion it is a very good development that we are now pushing politics to do something of the background of it is may be

sample become less unlikely. when weather gets warmer but referring to present day climb. if you have. a different reference it changes of clothes i think most people will perceive the weather has become more extreme how confident are you that what what's happening in madrid the climate agreement that those agreements are going to be successful at slowing down climate change is going to work well i think they are the 1st steps now but there is the need of moss that's to come and the what is most important is that politics and evil speech. to follow climate neutral pathway and this is count lead not sufficiently down i think people want to do something about it but often there they do not feel there

is ethic quit possibility to do that yeah i know i hear a lot of people saying they feel helpless maybe they don't know what they could do . just at the for university here in berlin 1st we appreciate your time and insights tonight thank you thank you. baseball is america's game but it is also loved in other countries such as venezuela however u.s. sanctions against the venezuelan government while they have been no homerun for the sport well now the u.s. reportedly plans to exempt been its what is baseball league from those sanctions the reprieve could not come at a better time because venezuela usually sees an influx of u.s. major league baseball tell it flee winter. nights at a baseball stadium a classic past time for many venezuelans but their national league had been under threats in august sanctions imposed by the trump white house blocked us players
