just to add spice, the italians had the trade their german allies and surrendered to the western allies at the same moment. here are three simultaneous threats, montgomery's big army coming up the tell, mark clark's big army landing at salerno, and the italian surrender, all happening, the trade by your ally while deep inside his country. what has to be called one of the great operational scrambles of all time, the wehrmacht, the german armed forces managed to counter all of these threats. to put it in shorthand, they played just enough of a screen monty,bria to delay although monty was kind of a delimit a shame -- delay machine in his own right. all of the great captains would say you need to seize the moment, grab the initiative, but montgomery had an infinite capacity for being careful. he is coming up slowly. germans put just enough of a screen in front of him to hold him off. the fact that calabria is mountainous and badly served by germans put just enough of a screen in front ofroads had a l. at the same time the germans launched operation axis, rushing divisions down into italy f

their goal was to thwart the allied advance into germany. instead, in this decisive six-week campaign that became known as the battle of the ulge, american forces resisted and overcame the german assault. delivering a huge, fatal blow to german military capabilities and paving the way for the final push into germany. before we continue, i'd like to acknowledge some very special uests with us today. first, dr. roberta nolan, daughter of first lieutenant james o'boyle lyons, who was taken prisoner of war during the battle of the bulge on december 21, 1944, and who died on may 15, 1945. less than a month following his release as a result of conditions during his imprisonment. doctor nolan, thank you for being here. we are proud to join you in honoring your father's service and sacrifice. next, i am pleased to introduce representatives of the allied nations that took part in the battle of the bulge 75 years ago. we should remember that it was not just an american victory, not just, as churchill said, the greatest american victory of world war ii

cannot sustain their presence so what i want if we want allies in the middle east and the u.s. has to build some credibility and sustainability and predictability and its force. i agree with that and i think it's important to remember that mccrone is concerned about being brain dead was partly about turkey's action but was also about us greenlighting of the turkish intervention in northern syria and raise questions about the reliability of u.s. leadership and i think this latest initiative unfortunately may be raising some of the same questions particularly as everybody knows that it was a half baked idea that just kind of came spontaneously i mean the saudis applauding this comment of the israelis applauding it and jordan i mean i'm trying to think now we don't have on the show but but leadership in the arab world when they heard this is something some of these countries said yeah we're we're all up for that. i think they've been fairly quiet and waiting to see what it actually means i don't think it means a new organization or certainly doesn't mean expansion of nato membersh

this is an allied army prepared for their own offenses. didn'trise have our own air capability for reconnaissance. the next six days this german army pushed back the allied troops further into ,elgium, deeper into luxembourg creating the bulge. 50 miles wide and 70 miles deep, penetrating american and allied lines. this is where it shows the allies are the most adaptable and most tenacious. the commanders knew that needed to take bold action. over 100 miles in a single day to sort this offense of moving forward. key to the commitment the time, pushing the 101st airborne andsion right into that him -- that, seizing what was critical to move forward. here is wherem, the metal of the allied, is american troops, was tested. under continuous artillery pounding, two divisions committed against them, fighting respite,ight, without forcing them to survive from hand to hand combat, holding the line, never wavering, and they did withstand. when the nazis couldn't push them out of position, they surrounded them. the intent was to bleed them out and h

of the allies.was an allied army that was preparing for their own offensive, had taken them by surprise as we were blind, we did not have our own echo ability for reconnaissance. it was under the next six days that this german army pushback the allied army further into belgium, deeper back into luxembourg, creating a scene known as the bulge. it was 50 miles wide and over 70 miles deep. penetrating the american and allied lines. this is where it shows that the allies are the most adaptable and tenacious, the leaders and commanders at the time knew they had to make it bold action and they committed over 60,000 troops moving over 100 to hundred miles in a single day in order to thwart this offensive moving forward. key to that commitment at the time? the tenth armored division, pushing the 101st airborne division right into that salient. seizing the best stone crossroads which were critical for the panthers to move forward in order to get into antwerp. by holding them, here is where the middle of the

our closest allies, our closest allies are calling for restraint and making a moral equivalence between iran and the united states. i never thought i'd see that happen coming out of nato and china and russia are quietly reveling in the prospect of the united states will now once again be bogged down in another major conflict in the middle east, giving them room -- they'd love nothing more than to be able to continue to pursue their own interests, their own interests and carve out their own spheres of influence without the united states challenging them on human rights. on abusive trade practices. on meddling in other nations' democracies. because we're too busy in iran. we are alone now. we're alone and we'll have to bear the cost of donald trump's folly. and this -- at this moment, it seems to me when we most feel the lack of function in the national security process or investment in diplomacy, we have to do something. after three years of hollowing out the state department, disrespecting and dismissing our intelligence community, destroying the relationship between the white house and

gradually, nato allies are investing more in defense. in 2014 we decided that within the next decade, all nato allies will invest at least 2% of gdp in defense. at that time only three fulfilled that criteria. by the end of this year, eight countries will do it. and i think to his credit, president trump has really done a lot to raise awareness of the 2%. but there is another goal that is equally important, namely 20%. according to nato standards, nato allies should devote at least 20% of their defense investments to investments in equipment and research and development. i think that needs to be raised further. the u.s. currently spends an amount equivalent to around 27%, i think, of its defense budget in investing in equipment and research and development. why not raise that figure to 30% for all allies, including the u.s.? so i would encourage more presidential tweets on the 30%. [ laughter ] i think that would help. my third and final point -- >> we may have already had one by now. [ laughter ] >> -- is that we need to strength nato.

stoltenberg: nato allies are concerned about iran's activities in the region and nato allies condemned and have condemned many times attacks on coalition forces by iran in support to groups and that criticism, that position was reiterated by many alyles in the meeting today -- allies in the meeting today. reporter: [indiscernible] -- general soleimani mr. stoltenberg: this is a u.s. position. it is not a decision taken by neither the global coalition, for this nato. but all allies are concerned about iran's destabilizing activities in the region. iran's support to different terrorist groups. and of course we are extremely concerned about the recent attacks we have seen against civilian energy infrastructure in saudi arabia, or against coalition bases in iraq, bases which are important for our efforts to fight international terrorism in iraq and in syria. >> time for one more. reporter: hi. it's michael with german news agency. you just said that the u.s. briefed on the air strike against soleimani. the u.s. justified this killing by saying that soleimani developed plans to attack ameri

mastermind behind iran's military engagement in the middle east for the last 2 decades and a close ally of iran's supreme leader. u.s. president donald trump says the strike was necessary to prevent what he called imminent and sinister attacks on americans we took action last like just stop a war we did not take action to start a war i have deep respect for the iranian people they are a remarkable people with an incredible heritage an unlimited potential. we do not seek regime change however the iranian regime's aggression in the region including the use of proxy fighters to destabilize its neighbors must stand it must stand now . solmonese blamed for attacks that killed thousands of people across the region but many in iran say his death amounts to a declaration of war as angry militia members in iraq and iran chant anti-american slogans and swear vengeance for the deaths of their leaders the u.s. is a devising its citizens in iraq to leave immediately. and for more insight into this story we're joined in the studio by reporter turns of trouble he's a frequent traveler turn around for

the allies saw that. the other thing the allies in 1942,d in france men were scarce. hitler cap the french army officers -- it is not a peace treaty. because he was afraid they would rise up against them. a lot of men are in prison. those that are not arguing forced labor for hitler. they are building the airplanes for the nazis and building the atlantic wall. men are scarce. women are not. cover when a natural she goes behind enemy lines that men do not have. this is where it is important for our national security today. i got interested in this because i was interested in women in combat. a story that happened recently for armed forces. in 1994.and exquisite it is not until 2016 that we have a integrated forces. four years. i saw this coming and i was interested in women in male spaces. know how they behave and how they act. i realize that war is not a male space. war is a bipolar space. you have a male frontline and an occupied nation that is very female. women taking care -- children. it is not a bunch of men. we had to integrate our forces. we are not just woke.

our allies an partners are critical to what we do. and i don't see that changing. i met with 75 of my counterparts from around the world in the last five to six months. i can tell you this was very helpful when i talked to them during the last couple of weeks about some of the actions we were taking. all of them want to work closely with the united states arm. it's important we work close with or allies and partners not only to innovate and realize trance for national change but insure that we maintain stability and security and interoperatebility throughout the world. we need to pursue the high payoff initiatives that build strong relationships with our allies and partners. these initiatives include, the international military education and training program, which we call emed. i can't count the number of chiefs of army and senior leaders that have been exposed to our military and country through this program. another, i have found the foreign military sales program was a great opportunity for partners to improve their open capabilities and capabilities while incr

summer of 1942 is a poor time forh the allies. -- for the allies. it's the height of the german empire, the height of the japanese empire. americans had been in the war for six months. if you were in britain, you had been at war for almost three years. you were a world power and now you have watched your empire stripped away. hong kong, gone. singapore, gone. india, itching to leave. the entire continent of europe belongs to hitler. the democracies of the continent are gone. all but switzerland. it is a very dire time. in this moment, picture yourself, you get a call from your government and they say, we need you. you have a skill, you alone have a skill that could change this, that could change everything. that could make it safe for democracy again the world. most of us would say yes. absolutely, what can i do? but if we have three children at home under the age of six, would we say yes? our husband was also seconded to the front. most of us would think, i do not -- am i going to orphan my children? this question was posed to a 30-year-old mother

he was the only allied city whoever made it -- only allied soldier who made it to that city. another died in the hospital. otherwise, they were well treated. a handful were taken to moscow and given free reign of the streets. they lived better than the local residents at the time who were starving. they could get horse stakes. they stayed at a place where they could get library books. there was one soldier who did not come back -- he made it back to michigan in 1920. he did not really report being mistreated. it was just an ordeal he had to go through. they started coming back to arkhangelsk and gathered at a place appear. meanwhile, the british made plans to send more troops in to cover the retreat. they raised several regiments of veterans from france who were unemployed or just couldn't adjust to civilian life. as the americans were leaving, the british were coming in. in june, they did sort of a cleaning up area. they mopped up, they pushed violently down the dvina river river, i should say, to create a buffer zone for when they were going to leave. the americans boarded

have about all the regional allies. we have seen secretary pompeo do mike pompeo reading transcripts that he's had with various allies in the region. everyone from the kuwaitis to the saudis. certainly, they have been talking through the options, what potentially could lie ahe ahead. many experts have said looking at iran to spend the last ten years building up its regional influence and it controls and has huge influence on syria and iraq. they would not want to throw that away. and the military confrontation with the u.s., they simply cannot win. and so many people thought that they are retaliation would somehow be a way of saving face, but hopefully, not enough to invite that retaliation. now, we have to wait and see what the u.s. does and what effect these ballistic missiles have had. but again, as we have been saying, this is a game changer that it is an attack from iran directly. not using proxies anymore. this is taking this up a step. and so at the moment, we are seeing iranian television at the moment, the twit

they had some reinforcements with slavic-british allies. they were local russians. some say they basically emptied the jails and got conscripts that way. i would say there were no more than 500 men manning this outpost. meanwhile, the bolsheviks under leon trotsky, the war minister, were building their forces. they had a very ill-equipped and ill-trained army to begin with when the revolution occurred. but over the winter, they built it up and trained them. eventually in the northern sector here, they had 45,000 men facing off against no more than 11,000 allied soldiers. the odds were ridiculous, 4-1. by june of 1919, the red army was 600,000 men strong, so it was quite a movement. so company a was stationed here. and it was a placid place. i mean, it was winter. as winter descended, everybody thought like in the civil war, you suspended operations until the spring. that is not what happened in northern russia. when the ground froze, russians strapped on their skis and put on their white parkas. ironically with the armistice day fight of company b, that is when the

what does this mean for your america's allies how have they been affected by this trade war between us and china . well. the truth is that germany in particular but also friends in the u.k. has been extreme in some bending though so back was an offering concessions left or right to china because they have been anticipating probably much worse outcome for them than they expected you have to remember that on the chinese market the biggest the competitors that european have are they are actually all american firms so in that sense actually this could be a crucial blow to european competitiveness i think there is a probably a lot of sigh of relief across the european continent right now they're realizing that aside from the financial services and in and agriculture there is probably not that much that will actually threaten them in the short term but also in the long term we have to remember that china is now playing a very assertive and asking for a concession particularly for example for huawei and 5 g. companies that they want to actually secure market access before they offer any kind

doesn't want a military conflict conflict with the we the us about it want to flick it on a stamp allies in such as you and i think that is a policy sooner lit of the out of. us americans in the middle east end of august on no the reason i'm saying this is because not this is an. anti american sentiment in middle east particularly in iraq so it's going to be very difficult for the americans to stay of the americans have claws a loss of a national unity that in years and more importantly i think i would say. mending he was the man who was being propped up by that ending as a next to it on has lost it so it's a big loss so again deployed i'm trying to make is that this attack seems to be. not meshing would be high on their trip you know i'm sure bear. but helps i'm not sure. that that would be a match in the smallest but nonetheless strength to live in actually. getting used to insurgency in so gentle attacks. happening of course it's still important to note that the pentagon did earlier come out and say that no u.s. forces had been killed in that attack but that is yet to be seen if that

well some of those allies some of. those neighbors not allies some of those u.s. allies who are iran the neighbors like the saudis the u.a.e. the israelis have actually been pushing president from to the brink of this conflict they pushed him to leave the nuclear deal to take a hawkish stance against iran but then right now they seem to be very quiet basically not wanting to be involved or are considered too. cool to war between the u.s. or on anything any kind of proxy conflict so far we see basically iraq in iraq soil and iraqi casualties like the proxy war between the 2 for says but seems like other neighbors that we don't want to pull in the cold and into any sort of conflict and they got mortazavi the diplomatic correspondent for the independent thanks very much. reminder now the breaking news that we're following for you at this hour the wrong is fired more than a dozen ballistic missiles at bases causing the u.s. troops in iraq in retaliation for the u.s. assassination of its top general on friday president trump now says that the damage from the strike is

coming up next, president trump turns up the heat on the allies.ind a better solution to the obama era nuclear deal. mercedes schlapp and david sapori debate when "the story" comes back right after this. coricidin hbp is the... ...#1 brand that gives... powerful cold relief without raising your blood pressure. >> the fact is, this was a horrible, one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made. it didn't bring calm, it didn't bring peace, it never will. therefore i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. >> martha: president trump took a lot of heat for that decision he made back in 2018. the leaders of france, germany, ukraine releasing a joint statement condemning his actions insisting that america could not take on iran by itself. today the president urged america's allies to follow his lead. >> that time has come for the united kingdom, germany, france, russia, and china to recognize this reality. they must now break away from the remnants of the iran deal, or jcpoa. we must all work together t

these groups of alliances are distinct, the asian allies, north atlantic allies. it is extremely transactional and bullying. we not only have to try to repair in the most practical sense the damage but we have to think about how we view our alliances a new and if we could envision a renewal of our vows to nato. or stand up and recommit and apologize for your transition we need something almost akin to that in diplomatic terms but we need to increasingly the cat ways to niche to gather our asian and north atlantic partnerships not only on the security front but politically, diplomatically, and that is where i suggest some real rebuilding to do. i would suggest for two reasons that a new president seriously considering sending ambassadors to the critical european partners, career ambassadors. that is atypical bus what that would do apart from a very steady and apolitical hand is send a critical message to a deeply beleaguered foreign service and career civil service and doing business differently. in the same vein i think we need an early aggressive initiative, to r

corporation at its very best because it was an allied effort to.that is almost as long as president of trump has been in power. a federal law that limited the army to 125,000 we understood in the last few years the way we won the u-boat war. why suddenly were all of these boats sunk in the atlantic is it because without the cracking of the german code and the intelligence war it simply wouldn't have happened. >> we have a final question from robert holbrook. we were teammates in 1959 fraternity brothers and roommates. we had a local military history club to discuss the waters. wars. on the technological side, since the tigers operation was covert unlike the non- covert operations in the pacific and europe have some technological disadvantage in getting up-to-date equipment and having the more state-of-the-art. >> it's a great question. those that were officially set up called the american volunteer group and they were sent over in boxes and essentially on the wrong side of japan when pearl harbor happened and they were left with the supplies they h

allies. the sequence of initial phone calls, of meetings, of travel by the president sends important messages, and you want to be extremely deliberate about that, especially now, given how much damage has been done to these relationships. it is critical to be intentional. we only have one president at a time. the trump administration violated that flagrantly during the transition to detrimental to honorbut we need it, because it is the only way our government can function responsibly. and finally i say, in stark contrast to what the incoming trump administration did, it is important to spend time with your predecessors, and to get the briefings that you need. you may not agree with them. they may not be as forthcoming, but spending time with your counterpart to understand where things are and where the landmines lay is vitally important. as we know from our experience at the end of the obama administration, in the entirety of the national security apparatus, the only meetings that occurred of

allies calling for restraint. let's dig in to how some of america's allies and others are reacting.riyadh while matthew chance is in moscow. nic, to you first. while soleimani has been killed, we must now de-escalate. that is one of the headlines today. in the national newspaper here, a very close ally of the u.s. you are in riyadh where i believe you are hearing echoes of a similar call for restraint at this point. >> yeah, i mean, what the saudis are saying in essence is, look, we know iran was the troublemaker and soleimani was the spearhead of driving up aggression from iranian proxies in the edge roothe region causi and strikes from saudi arabia and direct strikes that the saudis believe came from iran on the oil refineries here. so, the message to the united states is, look, we're on track with what you're thinking. but don't escalate this further because that will bring further bloodshed to the region. and a real potential for serious economic impact. nobody wants that. nobody has the appetite for that at the moment. so, the message, message is clear. and whatever the next st

allies in terms of stability? >> well,e i think one of challenges for the allies is that they are now susceptible, u arguably, b of these strikes. there's a coalition of dozens of countriesn iraqoperating there. the message that the u.s. has sent ithat the amerins can't be killed. but one way iran could potentially retaliate is to target its allies. the other thing i would point out is that the u.s. hs said its presence i iraq is a counterisis campaign and yet carried out a mission, excuse me, targeting arguably the number two most important person in iran. and so how that will sit with allies i tbehink wil challenging argument for the administration to make. because they made ase to the' lice that they were there to stop the counter-isis not to go after iran. roisrt: we heard from the republican side and nancy how the world sees it. what about speaker pelosi cincinnati what does she do now? one of the most powerople in washington. does she push for an authorization of use of tary force? do the house democrats hav
