german court rules that facebook must grant a grieving mother access to her deceased daughter's account. plus, thrilling and historic event in the world cup. the striker scored winning goal against england in extra time. his teams 2-1 victory was followed by an endless night of celebrations. brent: i'm brent goff. it's good to have you with us. it was argued leave the most divisive summit in nato 69 year history. today it ended with as much turmoil as it began. u.s. president donald trump spent most of the two days lambasting nato members for not spending enough on defense, especially germany. this morning after an emergency session, trump reaffirmed his

commitment to the alliance and said that his allies had alall suddenly agreed to increase their budget contributions. >> nato secretary-general may have a hammer, but it's donald trump who set the agenda. before the summit, he repeated his demand to members of the alliance to spend more on defense. after special meeting at his request, the u.s. president presented himself as the one who had gained the upper hand. next to have substantially upped their commitment and now we are very happy and have a very powerful, very strong nato. much stronger than it was two days ago. >> has the u.s. president successfully put pressure on the others? french president emmanuel macron said they have not threatened to remove themselves from the alliance. >> i can only summarize the result -- the result, their

commitment from everyone to nato, and in the light of the changing security commissions, the willingness of every state involved to make its own cardi b should. >> to the aims to boost defense spending levels to around 1.5% of gdp by 2024. whether the figure will rise further is unclear. >> going by the discussion between many european allies here and not just the u.s., we must continue to ask i would can contribute further, if need be. >> trump is visiting britain, then he has two helsinki to meet russian president vladimir putin. nato partners will be watching closely to see what unfolds. brent: i'm joined by the author and foreign-policy analyst who has worked with the defense ministry as well as with nato. you had a front row seat at the nato summit. it's good to have you back on the show. maybe you can help us find some

clarity. trump declared victory today, saying everyone had agreed to his demands of spending four percent of gdp on defense, but that is not what we are hearing from other leaders. what is the true? next the truth is that of course 4% was not a great the summit. what we have seen is classic trump in a sense. we have seen the president who has escalated the negotiations, the proceedings of the summit on its second day, today, and in order to increase pressure on the other allies, and threatening even to basically withdraw the united states from the alliance. there was a kind of zero gravity moments that the summit when everybody thought, is this the kind of show we have all expected? is it ending? in reality, what has been agreed is pretty much what everybody has agreed to already. if you look at the communique, the declaration come the actual,

tangible outcome of the summit, they are reaffirming the 2% spending goal from 2014, and that is the official line of nato tonight. brent: trump maintains that more defense spending is necessary to make nato a more fair alliance. with that in mind, take a listens to what german chancellor angela merkel said stay about the reasons for increasing sndnding. >> we began making changes long ago. we are d doing this foror our soldiers, but alslso, of course, for the alalliance. we arere also doining this in lt of an altered security situation. the need foror it was me particularly clear by the attack on ukraine and the annexation of crimea. brent: there we see merkel and trump saying very different thing spirit you've written that not since the 1970's and 1980's has anyone got nato as wrong as donald trump. what is he missing? >> i think he is missing a

couple of things. first of the united states in europe. this is a strategic role, a role that is good for both the u.s. and the europeans. it is a stabilizing force also in european politics and has been there since the 1950's. he does not see the fragility of the political agreement and how crucial his own country is to it. and the other thing he does not see is that a strategic security guarantee, and is what article five of nato is, that is issued essentially by the americans as the strongest ally must come unconditionally. it cannot be turned into a transactional kind of security guarantee where you pay for protection because then it loses its credibility. this is something that not only the allies see, it is something that we have seen in russia and will be closely observed in beijing. this is something that matters, credibility and trust are the

key currencies in such an alliance. money is also important, but these of the two things that reign supreme. if you ignore them or do damage -- you are doing damage to the alliance without even knowing it. brent: as always, we appreciate your insights. thank you. from that nato summit in brussels, the u.s. president traveled on to what he called hotspot britain. he arrives during what has already been a difficult week for prime minister theresa may. two key members of her cabinet resigned over her handling of britain's exit from the e.u., brexit. trump is adding fuel to the fire by weighing in on that issue. just minutes ago, trump kicked off his four-day u.k. visit with the black-tie gala at a palace near the city of oxford. he and the first l lady were welcomed by theresa may. the two leaders are expected to talk about a bilateral trade deal, among other topics. please expect more than 100

protests across the country during his visit. let's check in with barbara in front of the u.s. embassy. good evening to you, barbara. we understand president trump is spending the night at the u.s. ambassador's residence. we can guess that the reception inside, from the prime minister this evening has been better than what you are hearing outside. barbara: yes, of course, every step he has done so far of whatever he was -- somehow protesters showed up and they made a tremendous amount of noise this afternoon here at the residence of the u.s. embassy in london, to show trump that they are there. but the big protest will be expected tomorrow, and of course there will be the baby blimp, a huge balloon of trump as an ugly and sort of angry baby wearing

diapers, to sort of make things even more obvious. there were protests all across the country, inherent regents park, to introduce a bit of levity into the horrors of trump, there were some creative sign that was sought here from protesters earlier, and we asked one of the organizers of the protests here in london why people are turning out and why they are so violently against donald trump. >> there are three reasons why there is resistance taking place today and tomorrow. the first is that ordinary people in britain, the vast majority of people reject the politics of bigotry and hatred that donald trump represents, his attack on human rights, on

four people come they want to reject those politics. secondly, we want to send a powerful signal to our own government that they should not be cozying up to someone like donald trump and they should not be echoing the politics. brent: before their meeting, the u.s. president already weighed in on prime minister theresa may's difficulties with brexit. how will the trump-made talks go in view of that? are they even going to talk about brexit? >> i'm sure he is going to bring it up because theresa may is rather more likely to avoid it, particularly because donald trump mentioned morris johnson a couple of days ago and said he was his best friend, and he would love to see him when he came here, which is probably not going to happen, because theresa may told everybody in conservative circles that they should keep well away.

everybody's trying to contain trump. but of course you talk about a trade-in with trump, and he will serve me tell her, yes, of course, we would love to do that , but we know that is worth absolutely nothing. when healy -- the way he leaves the u.k. on sunday to go to helsinki to meet the russian president, he will then have forgotten about it and sit in the airplane and just tweet the opposite of what he promised here. so theresa may, for her this is not a big asset to meet trump at this time, because a large number of britons really resent the american president, but particularly there was in him meddling in brexit. brent: and considering they are trying to contain trump in the u.k., what else is on the u.s. president's itinerary? >> is all highly choreogographed in order to keep them out of london because protesters are

lurking at every corner, and to sort of have a program that makes it more or less impossible for him to speak publicly, so he's going to see military parades, and that's probably for you the most important point of his visit here, he is going to have tea with the queen. that's the bare minimum the queen can offer him, but he is surely going to enjoy it. brent: wouldn't we all like to be a fly on the wall during that tea? barbara, thank you. brent: here are some of the other stories making headlines around the world. syrian state television says that government forces have raised the national flag over par of the city that had previously been in rebel hands since 2001. it was the scene of the original antique -- anti-assad protest

years ago. israel has released 8 8oh of its forces a attacking syrian m mily posisitions nenear the goal line heights. the c cy sai itsts forces hit three targets and retaliation after a syrian drone i injured israeli i airspa. syrian forces contntinue to push toward the area. -- the a area israeael seized fm syria in 1967. they still regegarded as syrian territory. trying to have it out of -- hammer out a common plan on immigratn n at a meeeeting in innsbruck. the aim is to strengthen the e.u.u.'s internal borders and eliminate people smuggling. others are concerned about the impact it could have on human rights. you're watching dw news. still to come, in a landmark judgment in german court has ruled that facebook must grant

grieving parents access to their deceased daughters account in hohope to find clues to their daughters death. now with business, some unusual industrial action, what is going on? >> what the next a world famous footballer with a car manufacturing plant? workers at a chrysler factory in italy will: strike this month, and the have a very good reason. footballer cristiano rinaldo has signed a deal for a hefty price tag. what is the big deal about this big deal? >> these workers at it italian chrysler fiat factory, new seven -- italy's family owns share in

fiat. the employees say they should invest the money in them instead. that's why they decided to strike. >> it's like a punch in the face for those who have worked here for over 40 years. for an aldo there is money. it is a shame -- four renaldo. others say the transfer is a marketing move. the costs are huge, but the family knows how to do their maths, and it knows there is a report of the same value for the company ,too. and then there are those who are just happy for their team. >> yes, renaldo. >> the dreams of a global bike sharing startup have turned into a nightmare. it filed for bankruptcy in singapore and left tens of thousands of bicycles apparently

stranded. chinese owned firms were criticized for littering cities across the world with millions of bikes, many of them have gone unused, leading to grotesque bicycle graveyards such as these. in europe, companies have considered bans on the bike for clogging up the streets. obike said he wants to continue doing business but due to problems with its app, many of the bikes cannot be located. previous statements suggested washington aimed to reduce the nation's oil exports to zero, but secretary of state mike pompeo says they may grant waivers to a handful of countries importing uranium crude. that's where the sanctions that back later this year. u.s. officials have been meeting with the saudi industry --

energy ministry to give up supplies. saint wants to deny iran revenue has previously used to finance terrorism. it's beginning oil, the price continues to tumble. how steep is the latest oil drop? >> on wednesday we saw the biggest drop in the price of oil in the modern three years and that has continued on thursday. at one point west texas oil they traded in your dropped below the $17 mark for barrel. there is overall concerned that if the trade war continues, this could hamper the chinese economy, and that is one of the big countries using oil, so that could put a damper on demand and therefore drive prices of it lower. there is also the question of

what happens with venezuela and iran, if we not see a shortage of deliveries from those countries, that actually could bring the price of oil back up and we should not forget, just recently we reached the highest price of oil in a good four years, now we have a little step back in this market. >> now to the military industrial defense stocks on the rise. is that all due to don't trust nato meeting? >> it was probably the main driver while we saw a spike in companies like lockheed martin and also boeing, which gets almost half their revenue from the broader defense industry. donald trump believes that he made a point that nato members should immediately pay 2% of gdp for defense and actually increase the spending in the next couple of years to 4% of gdp. if that's realistic and going to

happen remains to be seen, but at least donald trump and investors believe so, and that's why those stocks were among the biggest dangers here on wall street. brent: thank you very much. where does your day to go when you die? that's what a german court has had to decide. >> it to the question, and people probably don't think about it, but it has been the topic of a court decision right here in germany. today the term court handed down a landmark on private data protection. the court ordered facebook to turn over the data which had belonged to their deceased daughter. the family had been in the legal battle for years, claiming information in their daughters facebook account could give clues t to what caused her deat. >> almost six years ago, a teenage girl was run over by no

underground train in berlin. whether it was suicide or tragic accident is still unknown it the family tried to get accesss to her facebook page to find out if the messages provided any clues. although they have the login code, the site was blocked because facebook had the account. the parents one the first case in 2015, only for another court to overturn the ruling on the grounds that opening the account would compromise the privacy of the teenagers contacts. in the latest 30, the federal court ruled that the parents had in -- can inherit their daughters facebook account. >> analog documents like diaries of personal letters are readily passed on. from an inheritance point of view, there's no reason t to trt digital content differently. chris until now, lawyers and activists advise people to make their own arrangements, until

such time that there was a final ruling. >> i fundamentally advise people to take care of their estate. one way to do that is by issuing a letter of authorization, which can include how digital data is dealt with in case of death. and she e doesn't t meet someonu trust, and ideally give them power of attorney. so it is important to take care of one's digital legacy, but not everyone is aware of that. > no, i haven''t thought abot what happens to it when i die. photos are also digital inheritancnce. i nowow print them out for my dadaughter andnd put them intotn album. let's i'm not old enough to think about it yet, so not at all, no. >> is a somewhat difficult topic because i am personally affected right now, since someone i know died. the question came up, what

happens to her facebook account? >> i i don't k know, maybe i i'k that it be deleted, but i don't know, i never thought about it. i don't know. >> the federal court's decision could now set a precedent for how germany deals with digital legacy in the future. brent: i'm joined by digital journalist to read -- teresa walker. it's not something people think about very often, what happens to my data after i die? how did the court justify its verdict that inheritance rights or supreme? exit justified its decision by saying to the parents, they also inherit a particular contract that their daughter went into with facebook, and then the parents also inherit the rights that are part of the contract, which is the messages.

so they treat every message that their daughter sent come into only open the facebook account by permission of the parents, as part of her digitatal legacy, jt like a letter. brent: if you children were to pass away and you were to find a diary, and you would have access to that, it's the same thing, right? something very private that you otherwise would never have seen. isn't that what we are talking about? >> yes, and the previous court ruling in berlin prioritize the privacy rights of the daughter over the right to know of the parents. but since the daughter was a minor and also a digital legacy is everything remains from you online, now the parents have a way of getting more access to that. brent: the decision only applies

here in germany, right? what about other countries, how are they dealing with this? >> from what i've seen and heard, facebook has previously stated they have a worldwide policy of accounts of the deceased, and that once you are alive, you can appoint a legacy contact roots of somebody you appoint can take over your account. one other important topic around it is that facebook will turn your account into a so-called memorial page one someone, he can be a friend or family member or a distant friend, tells facebook that you are deceased. so they could send a link to an obituary and they would turn it to a memorial page that no one else can log into. brent: what is facebook thing about this?

what you see on social media is always the best of people, it's always useful, people don't talk about dying. >> exactly. facebook also has to face this important issue as the facebook user base is aging. some facebook is turning into a digital online graveyard, and there will be eight point in time when we have more accounts of deceased people than living people. of course they have to have some kind of policies that give the user the best option while they are alive. brent: it's fascinating, something that we really don't think about, but will be forced to think about in the future. good talking with you as always, thanks for your insights. another thrilling clash in the semifinal and the country has

now been to its first-ever world cup final. they recovered from an early go against england to set up a final showdown with rant. -- final showdown with france. that's giving england there first chance at a goal. a perfectly timed free kick, 1-0 for the free lines in the fifth minute. it took croatia until the 68th minute to break england's defense. far more determined to get the ball then walker. 1-1. despite multiple chances, there were no more goals in the regular 90 minutes. the game heading into extra time. in d 109th minute, the decider. jordan pickford, the england

goal was without a chance. this young teams dreams dashed in the most painful way, while croatia's odrick reaching their first earl cup final. brent: after a short break, i will be back to take you through the day. stick around for that.
