i don't see the turks defending estonia if the russians attacked. i can't imagine that. the french have capability, australia will have capabilities and that is about it. the rest of the nato members i don't see them contributing and being allies we can count on. they expect us to protect them with very little input from us. >> it is possible to criticize nato which i do in the book. primarily for being too big and unwieldy and threatening to russia and at the same time being too disorganized to generate a unified affect in places where it counts. it is interesting to see how the european group within nato started to spend more in the last two or three years, donald trump made the same comments the last few presidents have made, stylistically unusual way and that had an effect. >> half of the effects with russia's invasion of crimea. >> we didn't see a step up. >> actually you do. >> germans began in 2016. >> the germans are going ahead with north stream too. we believe this administration will make germany and europe more dependent on russia than ever. >> the us has thi

either stay in finland or estonia so 20,000 people have decided, roughly, to stay in estonia and cannotere are about 356, where higher than lithuania or latvia. part of the reason, there is an island, the biggest estonian island where a volleyball tea m biggest estonian island where a volleyball team from milan, played there two weeks ago. it is now seen as the hotspot in estonia and the island is incomplete lockdown. as the hotspot in estonia and the island is incomplete lockdownlj don't want you to speculate outside what we know, but for example, the uk is looking at being behind, two weeks find italy. from what you can see across europe, does it look like you put down lockdown measures and you put down lockdown measures and you get the results about two weeks later? we are still waiting to see if that is the case. look at italy and spain. the highest cases, still frightening levels of deaths and still frightening levels of cases rising. we are not seeing anything clear either in france as well. they have probably had a bit less time, talking about 16,000 cases in france now. more tha

effective option for its situation or is what it's doing little more than an automatic response from estonia it's astounding that the plants are able to react with such different responses do i grow up high or wide or develop larger leaves at a physiological level these are very different responses she says. it makes sense that plants would be equipped with light receptors that allow them to respond to light. but the scientists who are still aren't exactly sure how the plant processes this information and then decides on a certain course of action all without a brain or a nervous system. in the german city of you know plant physiologists are working together with electrophysiologist to study health plants process and pass on information we know for example that chemical signals are transmitted to other parts of the plant when it's attached or damaged. signals and plants can also be electrical. when a particular stimulus reaches a certain threshold it can trigger what's known as an action potential and bang there's a reaction. to suffer. mentally it's comparable to what happens in human cells

you know, the baltic states, for example, lithuania, estonia, they believe they can still contain thist more than 400 cases, germany as well, similar, 400 cases, talking about how you delay the worst case scenario until the summer. law while i am outside one of the cinemas here in central while i am outside one of the cinemas here in central delhi, and of course people are going in to watch their favourite films. but now comes the news that the biggest bollywood film awards ceremony has been cancelled. now, this is a very prestigious, glamourous ceremony, and attract many big stars. it lasts three days. so it's a huge event, but it's not going ahead. officials are saying that this is because of coronavirus. the virus on the recently reached india, but already, 30 people have contracted it. so, of course, there are concerns that this could spread widely across the country, and of course, the government is saying that there should not be mass gatherings of people. i think this is why the organisers are saying they cannot go ahead with it. it was due to start at the end of march, but what

and estonia touted as the most advanced digital society on earth is also home to the world's longest bentonville epidemic lasting nearly 20 years now in 2017 this tiny baltic nations seem to have won that battle against this highly addictive synthetic drug but 3 years later it's clear that country didn't actually win that war argues alex mileage has the story. a picture perfect little nation with a big problem to know the drug appeared on the scene in a stony about 2 decades ago is stony in about 200-2001. a pretty substantial contraction in the supply of heroin the taliban poppy man that came into place right around then really put constraints on the supply of heroin to europe for whatever reason. was then supplied by fentanyl in 2001 the country of about 1300000 people so fentanyl hit the streets hard it was even more potent than its plant based predecessor heroin in no time dystonia how to fentanyl problem use reached epidemic proportions unlike heroin and other drugs that are plant based synthetics come from laboratories some experts say many of these labs are in china and india

it will feel a bit cooler, the chance of seeing a bit of hill snow in estonia, perhaps the peak district and then, skies will clear, northern ireland, scotland, northern england in particular for a chance of frost again going into thursday morning. so for some of us, it will be a cold start on thursday, but the frost isn't as widespread as elsewhere, temperatures hold up underneath cloud. and the potential on thursday for seeing some soaking rain into the channel islands, perhaps also southern counties of england will see strong winds, as well, although there's lots to play for in how far north any rain here will get on thursday. so watch this space. showers into northwest scotland, elsewhere at a fair amount of dry weather on thursday. and then into friday, we will bring along a week weather system across the uk, just pick out some thinker cloud here with the chance of seeing some patchy rain and perhaps some hill snow out of that amount. fairly quiet at the moment on friday. but unfortunately, that will not last because we have a stronger weather system, a deeper area of low pressure h

the turks are the second biggest military in nato i see them coming into estonia. i just can't imagine that. those that have capabilities and that it is about i don't see them contributing and being allies they expect us to protect them with very little input from us. >> i do criticize in the book nothing is too big or unwieldy and threatening to rush about the same time to generate that unified effect and how that european group with the nato but president trump with the last three or four president has mad made. >> so that actually has had. >> and with that russian invasion of crimea. >> and where the germans began in 2016. >> they are going at it we believe this administration and maybe you don't will make germany and europe more dependent on russia than ever. and the program that people pay attention to. >> and people say we are a treaty ally. that is the difference with allies by treaty and those certain requirements and those on the ground. and the one of the points i make in the book is us dominance poses that adaptation challenge so chosen to focus on certa

view, president trump has excluded all the shangan countries, italy, france, germany, lithuania, estonia. italy is the hardest hit, france and germany following on. united kingdom, brittain is expected to follow the way that france and germany is going. it's expected to potentially follow the way that italy is going, potentially very high numbers of people catching the virus. so at a medical level this doesn't entirely make sense. brittain has 459 confirmed coronavirus cases at the moment. ireland, 43. yet lithuania, who is on the list now not to be allowed -- for citizens not to be allowed to travel to the united states has only 3 recorded cases. the open area where people can travel around, yes, is an issue that is going to potentially allow the virus to travel throughout europe, but what president trump has done here is take a far bigger and far bolder step than any of the european countries have taken and they're already concerned about the economic impacts to the nations there. will be additional concern about how president trump's decision will affect the economy of all the europea
