2:05 am
but there are no illusions nato jets will be flying i mean two hundred kilometers from russian border us troops will be learning to fight in cold conditions against the simulated enemy that is and surprisingly exactly as powerful as moscow the effect of this activity will increase the tension between no way and russia despite quite clumsy attempts by the representative of the airlines and its member states to picture such military activity as defensive it is obvious that this fighting capability is demonstrate a distinct entity russian character tensions now a worse than they've been in a third of a sentry both nato and moscow have been go into it streams staging bigger and bigger war games russia's vostok maneuvers the natives trident war games record size for both this year and each blaming each other. demonstrates russia's focus on exercising large scale conflict it fits into

a pattern we've seen over some time and more assertive russia significantly increasing its defense budget and its military presence. wait wait wait getting a little carried away that russia's military budget has been decreasing not increasing year after year you'd have thought nato intelligence would have spotted that now compare moscow's military spending to nato's which is almost a trillion dollars a year it literally accounts for hof the world's military spending i mean there is no competition here. nato is military activity at the borders of russia has reached an unprecedented post cold war level bloc countries are engaged in offensive drills the aim of all this is increased capacity to swiftly deploy troops across europe. it's a remarkable cycle nato builds up its forces moscow responds by building up its
2:07 am
own we catch nato then calls russian aggression and uses it to justify stationing more tanks more troops near russia. and repeat part of the confrontation of politics against russia. and maybe the future also against china but in any case we don't need these actions will be needed is a product of common security of design a manned and a friendly relations with russia. since ninety percent always. gotten in europe above aggressive and always other. think russia. all very impressive this far as military escalations go but what with all these war games this propaganda militant rhetoric and collapsing arms treaties one can only wonder how long can we go on like this
2:08 am
much more we can escalate the for a stupid decision or an accident puts a spark to this truly in dollar powder keg. german voters have told her another blow to chancellor merkel with both parties in a governing coalition on course to suffer heavy losses in sunday's state election has said there's been a surge in support both for the green party and for the and him a gratian alternative for germany party which is in line for its first seats in the state's parliament giving it representation in every german state and the. merkel's christian democrats are still in the lead but the party is projected to drop eleven percentage points compared to twenty thirteen their coalition partner the social democrats are also down by more than ten percentage points voters are given a big boost to the greens those well as turning to other left wing parties is there some of the leaders reacted to those early results with the people's party the f.t.
2:09 am
is now represented in every german region after the great success it has brought with us this evening there was a very mixed message has there once the christian democratic union to continue leading this state many people have shown during this election that it must be different not in has it in burley's for some in germany the rise in support for the f.t. is a cause for concern because of its harsh stance on immigration protestors turned out in frankfurt as the first results came out political analyst even meisner told us the ruling parties are going to have to change if they want to stay in power. state election of has probably a proxy vote nationally as well that's not just a local vote it will definitely put markel in a weak position she's been getting weaker and weaker as and more and more unpopular and now if they lose and they seem to have lost big there as well again i would
2:10 am
expect she'd be under a pretty severe pressure now. as far as the support on the federal level that at some point this city you is going to have to look for a new face she's getting very unpopular i think she's a more of a liability for the party than she is a positive fact for instance there have been these so-called. demonstrations going on for about a year and a half now that means in german the english translation is america has to go and i don't ever remember seeing shrewder like the chancellor before. the goal demonstrations or before him was called i don't ever remember having demonstrations here in germany saying call has to go at least in part of the population she's become really highly unpopular. japan's been told by the un that it might be violating human rights by forcing families to return to fukushima seven years after the nuclear plant meltdown rented the area uninhabitable the japanese government

2:12 am
the japanese are trying to move the situation back to a status quo as it was before the nuclear disaster as quickly as possible and in many ways that's to be commended but there also may be a possibility in this is why we're concerned that the japanese government is moving too quickly and perhaps not ensuring inadequate level of safety in particular for vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and children for its part the japanese foreign ministry says the u.n. report is based on one sided information which could cause unnecessary fears about fukushima professor. is a human sabella t.x. particular to university he thinks japan though should wait for more evidence before declaring the area habitable. before retiring before causing or
