good morning. on this thursday, i'm kendis gibson. >> and i'm linsey davis in for diane macedo. here are some of the top headlines we're following on "world news now." taking on america's allies, president trump heads to london today after questioning the purpose of nato at the nato summit and demanded that allies pay more for defense. the actress, stormy daniels, has been arrested in columbus, ohio according to her attorney. she allegedly allowed a patron to touch her during a performance at a strip club. her attorney calls it a politically motivated setup. papa john's founder john

schnatter has resigned as chairman of the board. he stepped down as the pizza company's ceo last year after blaming slow sales on the anthem controversy. and croatia is looking forward to its first ever world cup final. 2-1 victory over england. the win set off big celebrations on the field and at home. as you can see there. croatia plays france on sunday. those are some of our top stories on this thursday, july 12th. from abc news, this is "world news now." >> quite a party between now and sunday in croatia. >> happy for croatia and france. >> and france, the french national holiday is this weekend. so the timing is going to be quite massive. and we're going to start this half hour in europe with the president heading to london where tens of thousands of anti-trump protesters are set to

he's once again going after germany for the controversial pipeline that germany agreed to build with russia. >> and that 2% commitment is something that had been agreed on for several years even before the president was in office. let's talk about germany for a second. they had niceties when he met up with angela merkel. but how were his breakfast comments received? >> reporter: oh, a shockwave through the nato summit. angela merkel herself said she grew up in east germany, communist east germany. so she knows what it's like to be controlled by russia. she says that a united germany stands against russian aggression and that's a good thing. you also had nato leaders trying to diffuse the situation and saying nato is stronger when everybody is working together. as you pointed out, the president when he's sitting next to angela merkel, all smiles, relatively cordial, saying they had a great relationship and great meeting.

but a couple hours after that the president is back tweeting saying what good is nato. >> how is the political chaos impacting his visit in th uk? >> reporter: it's full steam ahead. he'll have a big dinner with the prime minister and business leaders, and tomorrow sit down with a bilateral meeting before the first lady and president have tea with the queen. earlier this week the president said the united kingdom was in turmoil. he had a chance to give full-throated support for theresa may when he was asked if she should stay on as prime minister. he said it wasn't up for him to decide but up to the british people to decide. >> we have a sense of what many of the british people will be deciding when they meet him with those protests. the trump administration is also at odds with china over

>> no more tears. >> reporter: and we've learned that the boys will serve as monks for a short time when they leave the hospital, not uncommon in the buddhist religion. when they were finally out of the cave, they didn't ask to hug or see their parents first. they said what they wanted most was to watch the world cup. >> indeed, they were even given an invite to see it in person. but they'll have to watch it from inside the hospital. 15 stoneman douglas high school students are suing over the valentine's day shooting. they say broward county school personnel and officers are responsible for the physical and emotional harm they suffered. it blames some for not stopping the gunman during the attack but also says the school superintendent and sheriff knew that he posed a threat and did not increase security. a san francisco native has again made history in her hometown. london breed is the first black woman to serve as the city's mayor.

while top u.s. officials sat there squirming nato chief tried to defuse the tension. >> we are more together than apart. >> how can you be together when a country is getting energy from the country you want protection against or from the group you want protection against. >> because when we stand together when dealing with russia, we are stronger. i think what we have seen -- >> you're just making russia richer. >> reporter: an astonishingly harsh attack. when germany's angela merkel showed up, she took the high road, offering a simple reminder that she grew up in communist east germany and that a united germany controls its own destiny. president trump's main complaint here, the allies aren't paying enough for their own protection. many u.s. representatives have felt the same way, but he is demanding they doubling their contribution immediately. but it was all smiles when he

met with merkel. >> we have a tremendous relationship. >> reporter: not long after, a trump tweet, the final word, attacking germany again and nato itself. what good is nato if germany's paying russia billions of dollars for gas and energy? the u.s. is paying for europe's protection. with french president emmanuel macron who's got a buddy relationship with trump it was a very different scene. >> it sounded beautifully. i have no idea -- [ laughter ] >> it sounded great. >> reporter: afterwards, they all tried to make it look like an ordinary nato summit, the class photo. first lady melania trump even chatting with angela merkel over wine. but no matter the vintage, the mood is sour. president trump did sign the nato declaration of solidarity,
