or i want to probably get to james bays joins us live now from brussels james quite an extraordinary press conference donald trump addressing every single issue in the world but we did it in saying that nato members have now committed to increase defense spending was this trump declaring a victory. yes i think we have seen trump declare a victory after trump creating a crisis in the last couple of hours a really quite serious crisis by some reports threatening that the u.s. might go its own way with regard to nato it's an issue that nato allies thought had been settled they had come up with a final communique sticking with their plan to increase creased defense spending up until twenty twenty four trumps figures in the news conference really were a little confused as they have been throughout this confusing the amount that people pay to nato is budget that's a relatively small amount with the amount that individual nato nations pay into their own defense budgets for their own militaries but what happened is that there was a meeting on ukraine in georgia so all the nato allies and ukr

trump insists he'll meet putin alone but that is worrying diplomats here's i definitely get a sense james bays looking at. helsinki a city that joining the cold war was used as one of the few places where western allies and the soviet union could talk some believe relations are almost at a cold war level again yet one leader keeps talking up the positive and i said putin may be the easiest of them all you never know the biggest blow to relations was russia's seizure of crimea from ukraine the first time a part of one country had been stolen by another in europe since world war two at the time it was condemned by the us nato and the you. however in recent days at two news conferences in belgium and the u.k. president trump was asked if russia should give back crimea and each time he dodged the question what will happen with crimea from this point on that i can't tell you well we'll have to see what happens far from here the syrian war seems to be entering its final phases the assad regime would support from its allies iran and russia has the upper hand the u.s. and israel want to reduce iranian

security council meeting in new york diplomatic editor james bays has more from that meeting it's a time of fresh tension in the middle east the u.n. special coordinator briefing by video link from jerusalem warned of troubling developments on two fronts as we meet today tensions between syria and israel continue to rise why last saturday we were minutes away from another devastating confrontation between israel and hamas in gaza. even before the meeting started the israeli ambassador came to brief reporters on the downing of the syrian jet which he claimed to infiltrate israeli airspace he dodged my question though about a deal which president trump has said he's done with president putin concerning israeli security the world really doesn't know what the deal is can you explain more for us i don't know about you know a friend and i can tell you one thing we will not allow the iranians to be in their base and that our borders in the golan heights this is our policy and by means that are now with very clear about it with him it is to put in when you meet mr trump wherever he was meeting w

nearly forty four percent let's go live now to brussels and nato headquarters our diplomatic it is a james bays is there as ever james whatever donald trump enters a a multilateral forum we know there's likely to be trouble. likely to be trouble likely to be far works on that central issue i think of nato spending and defense spending of course the president referring to it as contributions to nato and as you've explained it's actually a percentage of each country's budget that they spend on defense and the point being made here by the nato secretary general quite firmly but also diplomatically is that nato leaders agreed in south wales when they have a summit in twenty fourteen to increase their spending and that plan was to do it over a ten year period and that ten year period isn't up until twenty twenty four and already many of them have increased spending so he says things are going in the right. direction he's also said that it's not just about the money you've got to look at the other things that nato allies do for each other and i mean he's quite been quite pointed hasn't he as specific

let's go live now to our diplomatic editor james bays he's there in helsinki and james many diplomats particularly on the pred a president trump side are approaching this day with a huge amount of trepidation yes i think there are many in the western camp among the u.s. is closest allies who really didn't want this meeting to happen in the format it's taking place in they see this as a victory for president putin a recognition of president putin that a summit on this scale is taking place i think they're also alarmed by the fact that there is not a clearly worked out agenda for these talks normally you would have a clear agenda and some deliverables pre worked out things that they wanted to achieve by the end of the summit that's not the way president trump works he's asked for a loose meeting with no agenda or a free flowing meeting in which anything can be brought up and he's asked for a meeting where he sits down with his russian counterpart one on one there is of course a danger in that president trump prides himself as a master negotiator what he comes to the master diplomat you

election well let's get more on all of this and talk to our diplomatic editor james bays who's live for us in helsinki that big that meeting still ahead james but people are already scratching their heads over comments from donald trump to the finnish president. yes that's right president trump just a couple of hours away now from his meeting at the presidential palace on the waterfront of helsinki with president putin but there is another palace where the president resides and he met president sali mean yes at that palace in the last hour the beginning of that meeting he talked to reporters and he was asked about the recent nato summit in brussels. and i think nato has never been more together. people are now agreeing to pay and we were having a lot of problem with a lot of people not paying its president will tell you and they're paying and they're paying more rapidly and at a later probably never been stronger than it is today. well there you hear it the president trump referring there to the president of finland suggesting i think implying that he was involved in that nato decision

a lot diplomatic editor james bays is watching all of this unfold in brussels and trump and merkel have just had their bilateral meeting on the sidelines james. yes so after that extraordinary attack on germany and chancellor merkel by the u.s. president about breakfast with the u.n. secretary general now the two leaders who seem to be no avoiding each other until now today in fact we've seen them a number of different photo opportunities we saw the so-called family photo where all the twenty nine leaders stand together it looked more like a family feud the mood very very tense indeed well after that and the first meeting formal meeting of the north atlantic council that's all twenty nine meeting leaders meeting there was this meeting between president chancellor merkel now at the start of the meeting the white house told reporters there will be no photos no t.v. crews will be allowed in the meeting well what's the meeting got started and they relented and they allowed journalists in they allowed a small group of journalists and camera crews in to see the sea and it's clear although the

alone meeting and that's something that's worrying diplomats more now from our diplomatic editor james bays. helsinki a city that joining the cold war was used as one of the few places where western allies and the soviet union could talk some believe relations. a cold war level again yet one leader keeps talking up the positive and i said putin may be the easiest of the more you never know the biggest blow to relations was russia's seizure of crimea from ukraine the first time a part of one country had been stolen by another in europe since world war two at the time it was condemned by the us nato and the e.u. . however in recent days two news conferences in belgium and the u.k. president trump was asked if russia should give back crimea and each time he dodged the question what will happen with crimea from this point on that i can't tell you well we'll have to see what happens far from here the syrian war seems to be entering its final phases the assad regime would support from its allies iran and russia has the upper hand the u.s. and israel want to reduce iranian presence in the country

let's talk to our diplomatic editor james bays who's in helsinki so in some ways there's a kind of a lot of a bit of joking about this issue but it's clearly quite serious but then there was this odd suggestion that putin had come up with some kind of formula for from from the what do you make of that whole discussion about the collusion and whether there was any or not. i am getting tired i'm afraid of these international news conferences by trade president trump and having to use the word amazing but that was amazing if you were looking to the two big leaders of the two most powerful countries on earth to solve any of the world's problems then i don't think you are going to find any solutions but with regard to the most toxic issue in the us politics it just got even more controversial with president trump there pretty much going on all the way with president putin's narrative and then saying that president putin had no idea later he said it was an incredible offer by president putin the office seems to be number one to use a ninety ninety nine act a criminal cooperation act when t
