as you said, allies are also stepping up.what they cannot provide in terms of humanitarian aid exceeds what the u.s. is providing. i am they will continue to deliver. because support for ukraine is not charity. it is an investment in our own security. president putin started this war and he could end it today if he stopped attacking a neighbor. the work it also and if ukraine stops defending itself but that would not mean peace, it would mean russian occupation and occupation is not peace. peace will require present putin to realize he will not get what he wants on the battlefield. most accept a negotiated solution where ukraine is an independent nation. what happens around the negotiating table is in a strictly clint to all of this. if we want a lasting peace, we must provide ukraine with more weapons. this is the path to peace. finally, we also discussed will be are doing for the future. as you said, nato is getting stronger and bigger. sweden will become a member soon. this, straits that putin is getting the exact opposite

that is why we are working extensively with our allies, - extensively with our allies, broadening thefferent ways, it is important military action is not seen in isolation, but part of the economic and diplomatic strategy, we will put something together with their allies in the coming days. flan together with their allies in the coming days-— together with their allies in the cominu da s. . , ,, , coming days. can i express my full su ort coming days. can i express my full support for— coming days. can i express my full support for the _ coming days. can i express my full support for the action _ coming days. can i express my full support for the action the - coming days. can i express my full support for the action the prime i support for the action the prime minister has approved? can i ask my right honourable friend to extend his strategic objectives because it seems that this threat will remain as long as the third might have a safe haven to operate from. it is a question of how we do with what effectively is an ungoverned space, that part of yemen.— effectively is an ungoverned s

and allies to cope with those challenges but the allies that you deal with are different to the allies that your partners will deal with. nato partners have 75 years of engagement with america in a tightly-nit highly institutionalized alliance. you were dealing with a more fluid environment in which countries don't have the same political like-minded in all cases. i wanted to raise some of the challenge that is this poses. we discussed this morning in the brexit section the question of whether there should be conditions on aid to the israel. the other topic that interest met, india is a crucial partner in the indo pacific. the only army in the region, anywhere in the world that is facing off against people's liberation army face to face in mountain peaks directly in that sense, justice department indictment that says may have tried to assassinate on american soil. how do you juggle these challenges and to what extent your support for allies, to what extent should they be set aside, can i start with you on that? >> i think it always depends on the relationship, relationship you have wit

has more allies than any other power through nato.her, we make up 50% of the world's economic and military might. china and russia have nothing like data. it is why they're always trying to undermine our unity. in times of growing competition, nato makes the u.s. stronger and safer and all of us more secure. secretary lincoln, thank you for your personal commitment to our shared security. >> for the first question, olivia from cvs. -- cbs. ■>> while noting the regime does not discourage its from conducting these attacks. this weekend's strike was one of at least 100 and 60 attacks on u.s. forces in the region by renting property since october. stronger action by the united states against iran and not just as militias have spared american lives. if i may, mr. secretary, u.n. secretary-general has appealed to the u.s. and in other countries who have suspended funding following revelations regarding allegations that at least a dozen of his 13,000 employees have had involvement in the october 7 attack and more than 100 more halflings to m

the allied war effort. i know that germany like worked around the atlantic did did germany ever work with japan in regards to like destroying shipping in like other areas like around africa, in asia, yes. so there are some german and japanese vessels operating in the indian ocean and there are there is a very limited exchange between german and japanese forces where german submarines or japanese submarines actually transmitting back and forth, carrying technology plans. or in some instances the germans were even loading up submarines with rubber when they got very short on rubber in japanese ports, sailing all the way back to to germany. so there is some exchange but very little coordinated planning between the two. really no coordinated operational planning though. again, technology skill exchanges and some some kind of help each other in the war at sea by exchanging information. but quite limited in terms of coordination. all right. i think that about does it for us. i will you all on monday have a great

allies, okay, who were the allies? france, poland too, the allies are poland, america, france, in the second world war the allies won and which allied countries, well, not russia, i can say so, in essence it turns out that we are the only ones who are trying and defending this truth, i speak on... his behalf, i may be mistaken, i may be wrong, but i still want to take it a little wider, let's look into history, the russian prince, the great alexander nevsky, proclaimed his the phrase: “god is not in the power, in truth, 500 years before the creation of the united states, 250 years before the great spanish navigator, christopher columbus, landed on the bahamas. i want to give a small piece from his personal diary after his meeting with the locals inhabitants. listen: these people did not need for anything, they took care of their plants, they were skilled fishermen, canoe swimmers. they built attractive homes and kept them clean. aesthetically, they expressed themselves in wood. they had free time to practice playing ba

and so they, most, your european allies, nato allies, have set what they could from their stockpiles. and is $1100000000.00 deal that you just mentioned. this joint procurement that was announced this week that is only going to be for shelves that are delivered in 2 years, 2 to $2.00 and a half years. it will take to supply that order. and i have to say that this is made by allies who have not that have not said at this point, that they will send them to ukraine and who even knows what this issue situation will be in 2 years time. but it takes so long to make the shells, and as you mentioned, they didn't scale up fast enough to fulfill this promise to have a 1000000 sent by the end of march. so you cream remains very much out in the cold, in terms of getting the shells, and we don't even know how much more might be spared from european stockpiles. it's a big problem for ukraine, but it also has a problem that comes back to europe and allies when their own comfort levels of their stock piles are below where they would like them to be. but in fact, we did not see orders go in fast enoug

, equal allies on equal footing. now uh, in response to your questions, definitely i agree with dr. marandi that this is you know somehow uh uh masterminded by israel or conducted by israel and this could have been israel or this could have been some uh terrorist group like uh uh or isis um who have been a master i mean the plot has been masterminded and done by the israelis definitely there is no doubt about that and and i do agree that netanyahu because of his failures and this war, he wants escalate the tensions to the region, he wants to bring in the us, and he wants to bring the nato and, but definitely they will receive a response. iran is shown on multiple cases, according to the israelis, whenever they have done something wrong like assassinating, the jerusalem post reported that the father of their aerospace program, avihar even was killed at the heart of israel few months. later when they uh conduct a sabotage attack at nathan's two times, their main ballistic missile factory offer went into the air and experienced explosion, when they started attacking uh iranian ships, t

as you said, our allies are also stepping up. said, our allies are also stepping up in _ said, our allies canada provide, in terms of military, _ canada provide, in terms of military, financial and humanitarian aid can— military, financial and humanitarian aid can actually exceeds what the us is providing, so this is truly a joint — is providing, so this is truly a joint effort by all nato allies, from — joint effort by all nato allies, from both sides of the atlantic. and i am confident that all nato allies will continue to deliver, because reporting — will continue to deliver, because reporting ukraine is notjust tell charity, — reporting ukraine is notjust tell charity, it — reporting ukraine is notjust tell charity, it is an investment in our own— charity, it is an investment in our own security _ charity, it is an investment in our own security —— supporting ukraine is not _ own security —— supporting ukraine is notjust— own security —— supporting ukraine is not just charity. own security —— supporting ukraine is notjust charity. president putin started _ is notjust charity. presiden

are, they have been fading away in this region, now they have threatened even one of the iranian allies isbullah to step back from engaging in the war in the israeli war against gaza, but they... stayed unintimidated and they uh you know uh uh started uh attacks on uh israel, they also sent their warships to the red sea to threaten the yemeni nation and yemen's army uh but so they failed and as you can see yemen continues attacks on on you know uh israeli bound ships and they have stayed on the terre so as you can see these are the products, these these groups and allies, they they are products of the efforts made by haj qasim sulaymani, the the respectable market and and marty general and also in response to your question, yes we could still see uhmani in on the scene pretty well and very much clearly. okay, let's look at what has occurred today in terms of the terrorist incident, muhammad marandi, if we were to take a look at the three incidents that have taken place, sayid razi musavi, the irani military advisor in syria. then you have what happened in bayruts um in terms of uh senio

flank of nato, yes, our northern european allies also voiced almost the same opinions. we we see that against this background, our european allies can actually be a little ahead of the united states of america, after all , they have been doing this since 22, because if we look, for example, at what weapons great britain has provided us with, then we will see that britain is the first gave very serious samples of weapons, which were such game-changers. on the battlefield, those who change the rules. the british were the first to give us the tanks, the british were the first to give us the storm shadow cruise missiles, and finally the french then gave us the scalps, right? the americans with the atakams still cannot decide yes or no, so to speak. therefore, i think that the european allies will now use this impasse in the middle of the united states of america in order to, well, let's say, to have additional leadership positions in support of ukraine, and in the end ... to implement this vision that is shared by many in fact, european countries that european security shou

an attack on an nato ally. this seems more probable now than it has been in the last 30 years. russia's invasion of ukraine has presented nato with new challenges, militarily, politically, and ideologically support for your credit is still trying to get the support to brand new investments, the owner security, and therefore outliers, how to provide the unprecedented support and all way around thinking production the needle wants to strengthen its air defense by placing an order of worth billions allied nations planned to purchase up to 1000 patriot missiles. nita was upgrading with more soldiers, weapons in new members, including finland and soon sweden is the alliance prepared for an emergency. so is nato prepared for a worst case scenario mark is i wanna 1st look at how likely this is that we would see a russian attack on a needle member state. and then we can turn to nato's preparedness in such an event . what do you think? how realistic is it that russia would try to attack a member of nato? i think nobody

our allies and partners are working proudly beside us and members of this group have shown a profound principled commitment to ukraine's enduring security. i'm especially grateful to our allies and partners for your commitment to leading this group's capability coalitions. that includes in denmark, estonia, france, germany, with the weighty, luxembourg, the netherlands, norway, and the united kingdom. together our allies and partners have established six capability coalitions to support ukraine's air force ground based air defenses, artillery, maritime security, information technology. we have made impressive progress since our last meeting. i'm proud of the united states is co- leading the capability coalition along with france and also co- leading the air force capability coalition alongside denmark and the netherlands. that is just another reminder of how much we can do when we come together. the security of the entire international community is on the line in ukraine's fight i am more determined than ever to work with our allies and partners to support ukraine and to get the job d

how allies share intelligence with allies share intelligence with allies going forward?y strange and unwelcome questioning of the whole of western security coming from donald trump and various supporters of his in the republican party so i think it is absolutely critical that nato sticks together, that nato continues to think for itself in the world that it is. irate itself in the world that it is. we are not itself in the world that it is. we are rrot in _ itself in the world that it is. we are not in the _ itself in the world that it is. we are not in the post—war era where the west— are not in the post—war era where the west could relax and take for granted _ the west could relax and take for granted its ascendancy and wealth, we are _ granted its ascendancy and wealth, we are in— granted its ascendancy and wealth, we are in a — granted its ascendancy and wealth, we are in a very difficult situation and it— we are in a very difficult situation and it is— we are in a very difficult situation and it is critical that the united states— and it is critical that the united

the good news is that warrant and more allies are now spending more.nd 2% of gdp on defence which is the nato guideline, and we are added in total european allies a50 billion, so we are delivering, and as has been important for president 0bama that's with president trumka my works closely with him when he was president and also for president biden, so we have against ray to tell on burden sharing and increased defence spending. nato secretary—general talking to me a little bit earlier. take a look at these pictures, because erosion is sculptured in dramatic features into this iceberg. it is the world's largest and what is likely to be the final months of its very existence. well, a ship run by the expeditions company arrived at the present structure. it is called a 23 a, to find huge caves and arches cut into thanks. apparently at be iceberg is being browned down by the warmer air and surface waters that it is encountering as they drift slowly away and in that white continent. ultimately, though, it is going to melt away the uk covid public inquiry has

the iranians are their allies, often talked about as proxies but they are allies, really. time with the houthis in yemen and they are people who are highly independently minded. they have a relish for getting involved in this kind of thing. they want to be involved in the war. and so the iranians have very much beefed up the kind of firepower they have, they even have anti—ship missiles, they have various kinds of ballistic missiles they can fire off, as well as drones, so they are well—armed, of course. compared to the us and the royal navy, it is nothing like it. less the physical damage, it is more the fact that this is a dangerous situation for navigation. yes, they have taken a ship, they have hijacked a ship and forced it into one of their ports. they have also fired off weapons towards them and caused some damage. it is not like they have sunk things but the fact is they are clearly commercial shipping companies who want to get very valuable cargo through the very narrow 16—mile—wide strait which is the mouth of the red sea. they do not want to have hostile forces f

the united states, britain and allies attacked the yemeni houthis. what is happening there and can the situation turn into a war? let's analyze together in today's episode of bbc ukraine, i'm olga palomaryuk. military and air base, airports, weapons depots are under attack by the houthis in yemen. the west is trying to stop houthi attacks on ships heading through the red sea. on the night of january 12, the military forces of the united states and great britain launched a massive attack on the facilities of the houthi group in yemen. the us air force said it struck more than 60 missiles at 16 targets. these are command posts, weapons warehouses, production facilities and air defense radars. it is reported that a military base in the province of saada, an air base near the yemeni capital sane, areas of the airport of the city of hodeida on the red sea and others were under attack, here they are marked on the map. so, why did they hit these objects, because according to intelligence data. allies, it was from there that the houthis launched missiles and

we have allies across the world. but our allies are going to say well, wait a minute. with us now but when the going gets tough and you have to maybe have a budget supplemental to stick with us, you're going to walk away. it's going to undermine the confidence of our allies and in places like japan and south korea, they may say we can't count on the americans to defend us. therefore, maybe we better develop our own nuclear arms, for example. maybe we can't count on the famous american nuclear umbrella proliferation, heightened tension, a higher likelihood of these unthinkable weapons being used. the other reason that we can't walk away is we're undermining our ability to negotiate and make deals in the future. who the heck is going to deal with us if they know we can't be trusted? we can't keep our word? people who■on't keep their word, nobody wants to deal with them. nobody wants to make agreements. nobody wants to make concessions. nobody wants to work together. we'll be your ally when times are good but don't count on us when it gets tough. don't count us if it's no

but our partners and allies, notably our core nato allies have provided more than $110 billion over thatperiod of time. and whether it's military support, whether it's economic support, whether it's humatarian support, the burden sharing that we've seen in the case of ukraine has been more than kpefrplary -- kpefrplary. but in order to -- kpefrplary. but ine that continues and all of us step up to do what's necessary to continue to ensure that ukraine knows success and russia knows strategic failure, it's vital that congress pass the supplemental budget request that the president has put before it. without it, everything that the ukrainians have achieved and we've helped them achieve will be in jeopardy. absent that supplemental, we're going to be sending a strong and wrong phaepbg to all of our -- message to all of our adversaries that we are not serious about the defense of freedom, the defense of democracy. and it will simply reinforce for vladimir putin that he can somehow outlast ukraine and outlast us. well, that's not going to be the case. we have to make sure that it's not the ca

our allies and partners, $90 billion. if you look at budget support, united states has supported about 22 billion. military sport, allies and partners, $33 billion. humanitarian assistance, united states, $2.3 billion. allies a partner, a 4.5 billion plus another 18 to 20 billion in caring for the many repudiation who went to europe. i think the message it would send, first of all, to impeach everyone of these countries, the united states is abandoning ship, we may as well too. second, our alliance itself is founded on the proposition we are all in this together. i think they would see this as a retreat from our own responsibilities. finally, you are the secretary of defense say this, there is no date in my mind that if putin is continue to allow, not only would he stop ukraine, it would send the message to would- be aggressors everywhere the world that if he can get away with it, so can we. then we are likely to have a world full of conflict and that is a world that is not for the united states. we are much better sustai

it's all been a test of will for the us, which is struggling to mobilize its allies in europe, asia and these threats and resolve the crises, but many allies fear that in november america may decide enough is enough . . that these numerous problems may not pose a safety risk americans centrally, therefore, it is not worth fighting with them. if trump wins the election and carries out his plans, what will happen to the american allies who stuck their necks out to cooperate with washington. if trump wins in november and changes this broader view of america and the world, retreat could create a power vacuum, leaving behind an ally. question: us assistance to ukraine. at the beginning of the war , the west supported ukraine almost unanimously, but now politicians in washington believe assistance to ukraine at a cost. and the american public is losing interest in this fight against russia and it’s all the fault of one person obsessed with power. and this is not putin, but trump. ukraine may indeed find itself completely cut off from the world and left to the mercy of russia. trump version 2:

russia and china are not natural allies. they do share some things was very different than our democracy. there is no more between these two. i say the world, autocracy and democracy and at the got is more of a challenge. that divide is going to continue in the best way to watch it is in the united nations. you have these two poles that are becoming more solid. the russians, the chinese, syrians and all of that category. it's a different way of thinking and a way to conduct your life's. i think one of the great challenges, how we are able to get along. china is not going to change. they're not going to wake up one morning and russia is a going to do that although with demographics come up as a better chance of changing. we have to figure out how just at the end of the cold war we are able to have our own. >> let me take you back something just before you took over, october 2022, 5 or 6 or 7 months and the administration withdrew i think a nuclear scare and it was when the russians might employ inside, a constant concern and

.— us and its allies.e we're _ us and its allies. briefly, because we're running i us and its allies. briefly, l because we're running out us and its allies. briefly, - because we're running out of time i'm afraid, what a rand paul donica rat�*s thinking in all of of this. their strategy? , so far, iran's strategy has not changed. it is a proxy strategy. they have been using them militia either 11 on, syria or iraqi to escalate and put pressure on the us and israel. but so far i do not see an indicated that iran wants to openly, directly attack the us and israel. so, we are in a position which is very volatile, there could be escalated by accident but at the same time all the iranians statements have been suggesting that iran is not interested in let's say open conflict with the us. senior research fellow at the middle east centre thank you for your time. prime minister rishi sunak said the rwanda plan will deter people from crossing the english channel in small boats from france. bbc political editor chri

and our allies support our allies can provide a way forward. last slide, please. so i want to highlight that this deterrence, which i we're going to speak about in detail, the us army is absolutely critical asia pacific is, not just a theater for the navy and for the air force, but the army has a extremely valuable role play, extremely important role to play. it should be said it's not not always easy. i don'want to sound too much like a pollyanna either. yokn, the grass is always greener. it's challenging, right? military army officers want be in command. they want to, you know, be a battalion commander or move up to brigade, getting people to fill these positions can be tough. and it also takes a lot of coordination. it takes a lot of coordination with allies. but also here in d.c. and i think that's why forums, like aoc can be so valuable, the us army needs to understand military advising, providing military equipment is always a very delicate process politically, and that's something that has to the army always has to keep one eye on is it works with local all

our own homeland and help our allies, too?he first order of business is to make sure we have the capability required to defend our nation and protect our interests. and above and beyond that, -- >> do you think we are producing enough? >> we are ramping up. if it was, if we had to only resource ourselves, yes. but we are at a point in time where we are resourcing allies and partners like ukraine and it is going to require more. >> people are asking me, we are running ourselves critically low on what we need basically inventory or are we basically overproducing or can we produce enough? are we supplying enough? that was the backfill. the other thing that has been asked of me, our commitment to win. our track record hasn't been too good with vietnam, afghanistan, ukraine. are we committed to staying with this to win? i believe ukraine is the most. i just think it is the purpose and the most honorable position we have taken in my lifetime saying we were committed to playing the role the united states plays as defender of freedom

the statements _ and the uk and allies? the statements is _ and the uk and allies? statements is meant - and the uk and allies? the statements is meant to - and the uk and allies? lie: statements is meant to do and the uk and allies? tue: statements is meant to do two things. firstly they are show resolve and that is what we got in the statement from president biden which spoke about the unity of the coalition and, basically that it was a message to the houthis two says stop these attacks in the red sea and if not there will be further consequences and that is an important part of the message. significantly and i think we've seen this in the us and uk statements, they are very focused because what they talk at length about our international shipping and how they see attacks by the houthis have effectively created a chokehold around this very important maritime corridor and thatis important maritime corridor and that is what they are trying to free up. it does not go into any further or larger issues about the war in gaza or about the risk of regional escalation. thi

last year all allies increased spending, more allies spend 2% of gdp, and in total we added $450 billion organizations have called for different spending. now this is happening. nick: jens stoltenberg, secretary-general of nato, thank you very much. sec. stoltenberg: thank you. ♪ geoff: the biden administration is hitting pause on new projects involving the export of an important source of global energy, natural gas. while the u.s. is currently the largest exporter of natural gas in the world, the white house argues the climate effects of these projects are too great to ignore. william brangham breaks down what this is all about. william: geoff, the biden administration will not approve, or even consider any new terminals that export liquified natural gas, or lng, until it completes a thorough review of their climate and national security implications. industry groups criticized the decision, while environmentalists hailed what they saw as a key victory in trying to reduce the fossil fuels that are driving climate change. coral davenport covers energy and environmental policy for the new

the allies are doing exactly that. we are working with the ukrainian defense industry to help increase production inside ukraine. yes, it is a huge task. we should not underestimate russia but we have to remember when it happened and for very most experts believed putin would take control within days. that did not happen. ukrainians have liberated 50% of the terror report he --territory russia occupied in the " ukraine. annmarie: it's a deeply divided legal situation. what happens looking in the 2025? how can ukraine sustain itself without the united states? sec. gen. stoltenberg: wars are by nature and put a couple. what we know -- unpredictable. we cannot allow president putin to win. it will be dangerous for us. the message to president putin's when he violates international law, when he attacks another country, he gets what he wants. that will be dangerous for all nato allies. perhaps more importantly, is important for the united states, is this will also be closely monitored in beijing. the threshold for china usi
