mr. german, thank you. my comments mirror yours. the national defense strategy led congress to assume it will be gross for the services and the fiscal year 2019 does seek increases not just for next year but also requests in and state fiscal year 2023 of more than 10000 from the current authorization levels the army, navy and air force print. for the past two years congress has written a blank check for the army providing strength increases not requested as part of the budget. we cannot continue this behavior. whether we agree or the services needed increase or not is important for congress to understand what the long-term plans are and we can have an informed way to make educated decisions about our military. i like to understand how the services sustain this growth pattern over the past under next five years where we are finding quality applicants is becoming more and more difficult. congress also must understand how increased and the strength will apply to the force. in muscle gaps in increasing its capabilities. are you back. >>

friend the case was already politicized since the very moment when mr put him on to was arrested in the northern german state of stress because there's no doubt about that in fact after he was arrested the case was described as a legal one but at the same time as a political problem or a political dilemma for german authorities and this is still the case now with this decision that we're talking about it just makes this situation perhaps clearer from a legal standpoint but certainly politically it's a very important and very challenging situation for german authorities and mr we know now that he is due for release on certain conditions what exactly or day one of them you already mentioned the seventy five thousand euro bail that's one of the key conditions but he also has to report once a week to german authorities he's not allowed to leave germany so those are certain conditions that have been announced by the german courts after that announcement that we are just talking about those are the conditions that will apply for mr push that in the next few hours in the next few days when also he announces w

german prosecutor it's more or less. a rebellion by omission and this is not punishable in germany. mr ahmed i do want to ask you just briefly about the role of the german government the government is think this is a judicial matter it needs to stay out of a do you think that berlin should get involved here. i think germany was involved from the very beginning because it was well known at the federal police office that mr putsch moment would arrive i don't know where of the sources. everything everybody was prepared and could have intervened and in my opinion the german government should have intervened in the very beginning by saying. you know this arrest warrant will not be just sit tight and not. granted by germany we let him go to like other countries to switzerland belgium and so on and therefore. we have to the site. you have to be aware that there is a two pronged decision first by you to sri independent judiciary the rights of the new you infringed on second there is a huge margin of discretion for some government to decide and the very moment the government decides for politic

but there's always the option that mr poorest among never returns to spain to something we really can't predict we know that there have been calls from spain for the german government to intervene to ensure that mr points to ma would be extradited for these rebellion charges i mean that did not happen does that does that politicize the situation even more than it already was. well i mean the spanish government has been very clear in saying that this is not a political decision that they're essentially following the penal code and simply catalysed wisdom on of the other leaders in the independence movement just broke the law so they are just following what the spanish legal system obliges them to do which is you know the government at the end of the day has to uphold the rule of law in the country so there's very much you know what they're saying here in the finest moment is that this is not a political you know decision this is that that the courts are independent and that the german court system is in the pendants as well and it will be very interesting to see what they decide. because they said that they will also wait until they have more details befo

again he already has some contacts to some members of the german government the new health minister again spawn for instance who has congratulated mr via twitter on so so this might be a useful channel of communication for the future what is form one of the specifically german issues that dr merkel wants to take up with mr trump well i think she's very much in line with mccall and to two items were on the top of the agenda one of them being the iran nuclear deal the other thing being the steel and aluminum turf so merkel will try to hammer these agenda points whole making clear to donald trump that iran cannot be left without without this kind of a treaty or they should move on without having anything else in place and of course for germany dhea still an aluminum turf sort of particular importance because we have a lot of exporting manufacturers that depend on the one hand on the exports but that depend also on the stoop prices and on the steel that might be flooding flood flood in europe so there are a couple of points that are important for germany i think one of the interesting points would be to see the lesson she went there sh
