this is deja vu news live from berlin nato's search for unity in a london alliance leaders may have been trading barbs at the start of their summit but now it is down to business as nato talks new priorities and new budget targets 70 years after its founding also coming up. donald trump says there is no chance that will happen after a house report says the evidence for impeachment is overwhelming so what happens
9:01 am
next. and assessing the damage in the philippines as typhoon comrie weakens and moves on the storm has driven some half a 1000000 people from their homes and travel destruction. i'm brian thomas great to have you with us leaders of nato member states are due to meet outside of london in a search for unity amidst many divisions they were hosted by the queen at buckingham palace to mark the 70th anniversary of the alliance's founding but it was a brief show of harmony before or a new airing of public differences between the french and american presidents. now that spat continuing at a news conference with president trump and his new role as a defender of nato after having long been its main critic. would you like.
9:02 am
ok given. everyone who was. not quite cordial combative tone pervaded the news conference with u.s. president donald trump and his french counterpart emanuel marc 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 difficulty with the perhaps you are what's happened with the press you look at what's going on during certain parts of this season of the year and you just can't go around it can say because we're going to it's very disrespectful. micron however did not back down that uses my statement we. shake a little bit
9:03 am
a lot of people have done. the 2 leaders seem to have differing visions of the role of nato. and frankly one of the benefits really the least is the united states would benefit believe we're helping your. one. 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 and. optimism alone however will not be enough to bridge the divide within the alliance. or correspond teri schultz is covering these divides at this nato session for us and
9:04 am
joins us now from london david tyree what's the atmosphere like after that very public dustup between mcallen trump. well not surprisingly all the leaders are saying they had great meetings yesterday nato secretary general and stoltenberg even tweeted that a very good meeting with president trump even though both of these bilateral meetings with president mccall and as we've just seen and with that the nato secretary general devolved into basically unilateral press conferences by the u.s. president where he discussed everything under the sun including a lot of domestic politics so i think that with the way things are going in washington with the impeachment inquiry and of course here in london where there are tensions between between leaders i think people are awaiting perhaps a quite fractious day no matter what they say british prime minister boris johnson just arrived and was asked these questions and said there's more that unites us
9:05 am
than divides us so i'm expecting that we will have a show of unity here in london ok well the show of unity will be important with all the new threats that are emerging on the horizon nato leaders want for example to establish a new position on china is beijing emerging as a major new threat for the alliance. i think everyone understands that nato has been slow to come to a position on china they are by no means eager to portray china as a threat it's not seen that way but having not taken stock of the rise of china not just militarily but technologically all of these countries are looking at while we of course is a 5 g. provider that something that european governments are examining right now and the u.s. of course has been quite outspoken on its concerns about wall way so what this position paper on china is is simply the alliance looking at where there are opportunities to cooperate with china and not to portray it as an enemy before things before
9:06 am
things get even further along without having having taken a good a good hard look at this ok looking at all these challenges we can call not including china how do we determine if this nato 70th birthday session was a success in light of all the many things on this to do list. every time nato planners start looking at how to handle these events now with president trump they are purposely scaled back whether they'll admit it or not to minimize the opportunities for him to hijack them into and to simply unilateral events and we've already seen that happen to an extent yesterday but this meeting is only 3 hours long the papers have already been prepared all the negotiations are done and if you if you remember this g 7 meeting in canada where president trump drove away after signing the communique and then called back and said i want my signature off of it that's in everyone's mind and no one wants that to happen so there is a paper signed not called
9:07 am
a communique not rising to that level and i think everyone will be happy if that paper does get all $29.00 signatures and you have a happy looking family photo and nobody comes out of here having had any big fights in their bilateral meetings the standards are not that high at the moment i have to say ok we'll see if those standards are are met or even succeeded superceded today in london terry thanks so much for that. well the u.s. house of representatives has passed a bill to impose sanctions on chinese officials for the country's treatment of we were muslims and more than a 1000000 we gores and other muslim minorities are kept and what beijing calls reeducation camps now the billing aims to end the quote arbitrary detention torture and harassment of this muslim minority community china's foreign ministry has criticized the bill is a smear. beijing says the camps provide vocational training. moscow
9:08 am
straight to beijing for the very latest on this with mathias bellinger good morning the ts china's calling the spill a smear but the question is will it affect the trade talks a very delicate talks now underway between the us john. well this bill will not help easing the trade talks in fact we do not really know at what stage the trade talks are we get news every day different news every day about these trade talks and we do not see any. and you hint that that they are new. closure of this 1st phase one trade deal but what we know is that beijing has reacted to another bill that was passed just recently about hong kong and now to this bill. with the counter sanctions it would not ease this treaty ok now the intention of course of this bill is to get china to
9:09 am
reconsider holding hundreds of thousands over a 1000000 muslim minority leaders in these gaps is there any chance that's going to happen i don't think it is going to happen anytime soon china is sees this as their internal affair they are talking about combating terrorism they are not admitting the human rights violations that are happening what in the short term might. happen is that they will and hounds their propaganda efforts they have also threatened to ban americans from traveling to the region but on the long run pressure on beijing is mounting on various issues and she's young is just one of them trade is another one hong kong is another one now hong kong and soon john these 2 major human rights issues international human rights issues that. is facing right now might on the long term how have an
