day is very much like stilton berg, a very calm guy, a skilled negotiator. and this is going to come in very handy with $32.00 countries to, to wrangle. exactly. he is known as a master negotiator. so where do you think you're going to need this skill the most? that's right, his nickname is tesla and mark, and he is going to need that here at nato. and this, the thing about nato is that you need to come to consensus. all 32 countries need to agree for anything to be considered a nato decision. and so you don't take votes here, there's no putting your hands up or around the table, but he needs to get all 32 leaders. so $32.00, a master's depending on the level of the decision to agree, nobody can oppose it. otherwise, nato cannot come out with a common position. so this is very difficult, and there are very divergent views. think about the alliance ranges from, from turkey to hungary, to the united states, to canada, to the nordic countries. these are

a lot of different sort of regional positions to, to bring into one common view. now you mentioned that you insult and burke he, he does, lew, a large one can go to and learn from him. in fact, margaret did this morning. i as, as the 2 men, stood together after a reef leering leading ceremony remarked on how they've been working together since 2010 they, they've been, um, you know, sharing views on what nato should be as margaret, there was such a prominent leader as head of head of the netherlands, and surely they've been doing a lot of behind the scenes preparation. and we just point out that this is very different from the hand. over ceremony we saw 10 years ago when elders for rasmussen i handed over to again stilton bird. there was no joint ceremony. so it's very clear that these 2 leaders have been working hand in hand to make sure it's a smooth. this moves transition and that's in fact one of the reasons why my,

because a was the 1st choice of many nato leaders he's seen is very similar to stilton berg . and we often hear he's a safe pair of hands for the alliance in a very tumultuous time. the w corresponding terry shoulds. thank you so much for your recording and we'll hear from the new secretary general of nato in a short while will take you live to margaret. his 1st press conference as soon as he takes the stage in brussels. but 1st, let's take a look at some other story making headlines around the world. today. we can leaves bounder julianna's hans was made his 1st public address and he was released from a british prison. som spoke at the council of europe in france when he said he fled guilty this tent in journalism for and shows freedom over unattainable justice when striking a deal to avoid further prism time report on a school bus and thailand called fire during a field trip on the outskirts of the capital bank call local officials say about $25.00 people are believed to have done the buses caring for the for passengers.

alexandra for no man who is at nato headquarters for us. alexandra, where does the alliance stand as we're to takes over? well, the alliance at the moment is of course, facing turbulent times with the war. the warning ukraine add to their a door step. and it was interesting today to listen what to my quotes. i have to say about his priorities in the office because he actually spoke about ukraine, saying that ramping up support for kids is one of his priorities. and it once again, saying, stressing that ukraine will be one day, a member of the alliance, and that's a, they're a pos towards this membership is reversible. so this is a one big topic on the he's agenda when he takes over from the stove back as

a secretary general of the western nato. a lions. all right, so staying in line with his freed assessor when it comes to supporting ukraine. what else can we select some life or to as secretary general as well, continue it. see a nicole? i think that is a the most important thing to mention here. and that is the reason why he has been chosen for those jobs are we know from inside us that he is the successor that he ends stove back was so wishing for those span, stressed to you today that there are friends and continuity is watch at the alliance needs of course, and those times or of uncertainty. and we expect small clue to also, and that is also something that he spoke about this morning when he and he himself met, addressed the press here at a need to that he understands that a,

with the very ambitious, robust defense plans that nato now has in place with tens of thousands of troops come, that's ready, and a 1000000 of troops on high alert. that is also important for all members of the alliance to step up, the defense ascending his own country has had a big problems with that also under his leadership. but there are now spending this year 2 percent of the piece that is something that the whole alliance old members agreed on at 10 years ago. but of course, each doesn't seem to be enough for, for some number, as they are saying, we need to spend even 3 percent of our g, d, p on defense. so that is something that says looters also see as one of the big priorities. and then now the issue that he mentioned already this morning is a,

he's a plan to strengthen and nato's cooperation with partners in many different and areas of regions of the world in the, in the pacific here, for instance, as cold about the last uh and uh, the, the, the, their, uh, focus on the in the pacific and she said that it's important for nato also to be aware of the challenges a china is posing to the alliance in the region. and i want to talk about the different regions, the middle east, israel has just started a ground incursion into 11 on what can you tell us about where it is view of the situation there. well, he told us today that he is very concerned that he is watching very closely what is happening in the middle east bows of my co to any and sold him back. i mentioned

the efforts by some allies, namely the u, as in france to try to negotiate, to, to make sure or to achieve a kind of seas higher and live alone. but of course, taking this job, we can expect him to be very restrained when it comes to comment on, on the situation there. a nato, a, it's not a potty to anything that is going on there in the middle east. the nato regards, as well as the important strategic partner, but nato has also partners amongst that are a process. there are also many arab countries, so i don't think that we are going to a to get any more comments. any specific comments on what's going on? 11 on right now. yeah, i want to ask you about how he feels about the upcoming elections in the us because there is a lot of nervousness in the alliance as a whole. is that

a sentiment that mark richard shares? well, he didn't seem nervous at all when he was asking this question this morning. stressed and that so he understands and feels quite comfortable to be able to work with anyone who will win the race to the white house. he mentioned come on, harris of course, he has apparently a good relationship with her as he praises praise to her qualities as a politician. and she is somebody who is well known to the members of the lions as a desk. it would be done on the drum to the phone, the president who is now running again. we know that and good to and the next name, the trump, uh, whisper ad because he in the past seem to get along with donalds trump. but he also was not afraid to send that to or to the former president would have

a came for instance, to a drums, a economic policies and his protectionist policies are, for instance, a terrorist on european product. so many experts then we been speaking with the told us that they think that router is the right candidate here because he could work with the bose which come a lot harris and with donalds trump. and that he could be somebody who really can get the support that it's needed of for the nato alliance, regardless of who will be the next president in the white house. however, of course, we also have to say that a many members of the alliance fear that she would to donald trump be elected again . he could reduce america's role for europe's security. he could reduce the number of troops in europe and he could be happy with a week or

a organizations a week or a lions. and of course, a may to minutes or is he in europe? don't want to see that. you mention it there, he's nickname, the trunk, whisper. he is known as a master negotiator, margaret, where is he going to meet the skill the most? well i think he's going to need those skills every day because that's his job as a secretary general to make sure that old 32 members of the alliance are on board with anything that is being decided here at the have quarters in brussels for the course of course, all of them and needs to sign off on anything that is, is decided to your he needs to understand the different opinions and interest. and he needs as one experts put it to me to keep the family together. and for that,

he will need his skills as negotiates or he will needs his skills and somebody who can convince members of the alliance or other times that that's a, it's important to stick together. and of course, one big issue that we have already mentioned is the support for ukraine. it always has to do it with the domestic politics and individual members of the alliance. because of course, there is a sometimes more support, sometimes less support and, and his big task will be to make sure that the alliance as a whole. and also that individual members of nature are still determines to a supporting ukraine as long as he needs it to uh, windows from new york, and to send off a regular tax. alexander, we're still waiting for a mark or

a to the new secretary general of nato to take the stage there for his 1st press conference in brussels. while we wait, i'd like to share with our viewers an excellent report that you filed today about the challenges ahead forward. let's take a look in his new job, there will be no grace period for mock. later he takes over from the installed back . as nato secretary general at the time of great uncertainty for the military alliance. time props are very proud and it is. it also feels like a huge task and big shoes to fill from stilton, who is 14 years since prime, and it's still the netherlands. some people miss him here already. so something kid is it, and a journalist who's cover attached politics, we're out with this town in office. she describes him as easy, going, chatting and very solution oriented. some people say he is the perfect guy for the nato because he doesn't really have very strong opinions of himself. he is someone

who wants to, wants things done, but it doesn't matter really matter how it's done, as that's prime and is too good to shape many of nato's decisions. he is considered a strong support of ukraine and a skills negotiator when turkey and hungry threatens to block his nomination as need to achieve. he went out of his way to gain their full support. even promising would pass the possibility of opting out of military health for keith. it was a controversial move, but it kept the alliance together. with bar code to nato allies have chosen a safe pair of hands. he's got a reputation as a fragmatic deal maker and a track record of consensus building trades that will probably help him to take on the challenges the alliance is facing. it's not going to be a walk in the park. why not doing? jessica tells me she's served 13 years as a spokesperson under to natal cheats under folk. russell some enhanced,

open back. this was on the 1st day when we were going to the press conference. and we had what, so we had worked on his $100.00 days plan. don't just confess. increasing defense spending across the alliance will be one of the most crucial issues router will need to tackle. it's not being easy for the netherlands on the history the ship to reach the nato benchmark of investing at least 2 percent of gdp in defense. but of course, it's clear that with the current um uh, very robust, defense plans that nato has. the nato allies will need to invest more than 2 percent in defense, and that's an area where a mock realtor would need to show leadership. however, good to, as most challenging task might be to keep the you as a board to need to. so donald trump, the elected again, those men seem to get along boots or even the nickname the trump was correct. but

he also strongly opposed drums. protection is economic policy. so he can be both firm but also have of a very good relationship with the american read this, but leaving his home neighborhood in the hague will also mean that includes the best known for riding his bike to work. presumably has to be bump some of his personal freedoms off to old serving because need to achieve as a highly visible job with a lot of security. now we're still waiting for the new nato secretary general to take the stage in brussels. let's use that time and talk some more to our brussels bureau chief, alexandra phenomena who's standing by. there we are seeing right now the stage still empty, but in the meantime, alexandra was margaret to an obvious choice for the job of the while, you know, in the past he was honest, i think twice to take over the job of the secretary general. but at that time,

he was still acting 5 minutes in the netherlands, so he refused. uh and uh, that's why he told us this morning, actually he now decided to do it. even though he was actually planning to focus on teaching again, not to be in politics anymore, but i think in general, yes, he was not just choice because as i said in the end, the packages of parents, a safe pair of hands is a very seasons politician. he has those negotiating skills that are needed to your, at nato. and he is also somebody who was present here as a, that's prime minister at many important decisions. and, and he was a somebody who, as i mentioned before himself and that was sold and that wanted to see in this position to make sure that there is the continuity that we spoke about before. so

yes, there were other candidates and also a female candidates. and the form is to an environment and stuff, but in the end, i think about the big nations as members of the lives you ass and, and germany and friends were happy to find a successful for you and us talking back in my clued up against fulton burke looms large, doesn't he? after a decade in the post, what can mark road to learned from him as well? i think what we have seen of the last 2 years is that in a stolz and back house kind of change as nato secretary general, he was very cautious at the beginning. and especially since the beginning of the full scale invasion of ukraine, she has become,

in my eyes, not only a secretary, but also kind of more a general who was able to a secure support for ukraine, but who was also not afraid to uh, have bold ideas like, for instance, in the last weeks when she was calling on nato allies to think there are restrictions that they're imposed, they, they have imposed on the use of western weapons by ukraine. so every step of the way he was able to come up with a new idea that would help to create and he was not afraid to talk about it publicly. even knowing that this idea may not have the support of an old members of the lions. so this kind of transition and a change in office is something that we have seen in the last months and weeks and,

and, and maybe that is something that my quota could learn from how the job can change you and how you needs to adapt to the challenges that the organization is facing on the prompt comes on in terms of phenomena. thank you so much for the time being. we'll be back in touch with you. things are running a little behind schedule there in brussels. let's move on to some other topics. and once this press conference gets underway, we will take you there live to the us. now we're the republican and democratic candidates for vice president, judy vance, and 10 walls, respectively. we'll face each other for the 1st time tonight. their mission convincing americans to cast their votes for their ticket. nowhere is that more crucial that in swing states license sylvania w. washington bureau chief in his full travel to the former, still manufacturing hub of john's town to find out what matters the most to voters

there. it may look like just any other small post industrial town in america, but it is places like johnstone that could decide who the next to as president will be drawn. stone is in pennsylvania, a so called swing state, one of a handful that has the potential to sway the outcome of a national election tier every vote counts. it's my jeffrey plumber and his colleagues are out knocking on doors. trying to convince fellow pennsylvanians to vote for harris and boss. if we don't do it, i mean, who else is going to do it? we have to get out here and get these people to vote and hopefully we can get them on our side to vote. and we're out in this area, just canvassing, making sure was planned on button in november if you plan on that. but what about probably okay. i don't know for now. okay, so studying it, tracking feedback is cool. so therefore i'll check for you record.
