i'm from latvia. first of all i appreciate your word what canada is doing right now and taking a leading role to deploy battalion task force group to our country and latvia in the baltic states as well. i would like to ask one simple question. as a minister of defense, what do you say to your soldiers who is decan ploying to latvia, to the baltic states, what is the mission around probably, we had some discussion, for how long is canada going to stay in the baltic states and this mission, sir? >> one, we're very proud to take a leadership role in latvia but i also have to it state the other troop-contributing nations that make up the battle group, it has been, we have nations from all across europe, and that is what makes it even more unique for us. it will make some, make for very interesting hockey tournament as well. that's right. i know we're already setting one up. the, for me, i really don't need to actually say much to our canadian troops. one thing is i'm very proud of the work, regardless wha

like latvia can do a big thing.oma and the taste of victory. don't forget you can get in touch with me to discuss any of the stories we've been covering here via twitter. i'm @ tom donkin bbc. but that's all the time we have for now, so i'll say goodbye. hello. showers or longer spells of rain were the mark of the day on friday in many parts of the british isles, but other areas too got away with a pretty decent sort of day. that was the end of the day in kings cross in london. that was the day in cornwall. and what's driving things at the moment? this area of low pressure, sat in the middle of this great swirl of cloud. you can see the persistent rain showing up, and those with a good eye can see the speckling of showers, some of those were quite sharp. as we get on into the body of saturday, rather than friday, the same area of low pressure has drifted a little bit further north, taking the prospect with it of those longer spells of rain. not a cold start to the day wherever you're starting it. the temperatures ju

a small country like latvia can do a big thing. the taste of victory. time now to take a look at the weather forecast. next week looks rather changeable in particular. today we have the heaviest of the rain, pushing north into scotland. we have seen some thicker cloud and earlier on some light rain across northern ireland, now heading across into scotland. some sunshine through the rest of the day, increasingly so from the south—west, where we see blue skies arriving in this satellite picture here, but the wetter weather heading northwards, away from northern ireland briefly and into scotland, where showers could be rather heavy moving into the evening, and one or two ru m bles moving into the evening, and one or two rumbles of thunder in the highlands for example, but some sunshine across southern parts of scotla nd sunshine across southern parts of scotland and northern england, so a decent end to the day. showers tending to move away. after a brief drier and brighter spell in northern ireland, rain will move across the irish sea

we've waited 25 years in latvia to have russian language tv for our minority.e lost a lot of people to russian tv. reporter: in their attempt to compete with russian media, the russian language latvian broadcaster has found allies in riga's lovely art nouveau district. in 2014, the neighborhood became home to a segment of the russian intelligentsia -- 20 employees of russia's most successful internet portal, living in exile. getting a meeting with editor in chief ivan kolpakov is not easy. but we did. the "meduza" website takes an in-depth look at russia every day and offers an alternative to moscow's state propaganda. these young russians hope for a better time post-putin. they're used to finding their news for themselves on the internet. mr. kolpakov: they don't watch television. that's why the whole propaganda machine isn't working with them. this is what, right now, the specialists, the guys in the president's administration felt -- television doesn't work with the huge and very important and very active part of the society. reporter: so what can actually b

canada is leading in latvia. this is a critical element of nato strengthened deterrents and defense posture and we're proud to have taken a leadership role. so because we understand that the security environment we face today is more diverse, more complex, and demands more of us than anytime since the cold war. we also understand that the security and prosperity of europe is directly linked to canada's security and prosperity as well. so in that vein, canada has deployed the canadian armed forces unit personnel to central and eastern europe to show solidarity and resolve and reinforce the alliance's collective defense and canada is championing capacity-building efforts in ukraine as well. we also are making a significant contribution to the global coalition against daesh through our leadership role in the ministry liaison team. this team plays an important coordination function with the collision training effort. our forces have also provided training and assistance to the iraqi security forces with our special f

and finally in lighter news, over in latvia, this man achieved the first ever human pa rachuting latvia with the help of 28 propellers and a communications tower, he landed safely with his parachute. (gunfire) is not looking good out there. i have retired to the inner sanctum, dover castle was continuously defended for 900 years right up until the 1950s it was a really successful defence. i wonder whether oui’ successful defence. i wonder whether our homes these days are more vulnerable, especially since we are filling them with more and more connected devices. the internet of things. this is the family room at the heart of the castle, where the lord and his family could relax with some pretty thick walls. the king could unwind with a game of chess. in the 13th century they did not have the internet of things, but they still had things. so how do we make iot more secure. ken munro is my dinner guest, we keep hearing about these connected devices continually being hacked. why is it so continually being hacked. why is it so hard for manufacturers to make them more secure? it is not hard.

a small country like latvia can do a big thing. the next championship will take place in 2019.at the weather. it is looking damp, the weather front moving from west to east. we have already had some rain. central and eastern areas end the day with some late sunshine, dry and braked. 0vernight, that front in the west will make its way slowly eastward. that will bring all of us a spell of wet and windy weather. clearer towards the east and then clearer skies heading in from the west, fairly fresh first thing sunday morning for western parts. mild in the and rain. the rain lingers on the and rain. the rain lingers on the northern isles, but for elsewhere a day of sunshine and scattered showers. showers popping up scattered showers. showers popping up almost anywhere but they are hit and miss. some of us will be lucky enough to avoid the showers, the south coast will be largely dry, 15— 20 celsius. definitely a day for having the umbrella on stand—by. most of the nhs trusts affected by yesterdays global by yesterday's global cyber—attack have managed to restore their systems. the p

a small country like latvia can do a big thing. the next championship will take place in 2019.ful word, it rolls off the tongue like a very good wine, i suppose. let's look at the weather prospects now. hello. despite the presence of low pressure a cross hello. despite the presence of low pressure across the uk today, there isa pressure across the uk today, there is a lot of dry weather on offer. we have had wonderful weather watcher pictures in. this was from plymouth earlier. this is the great view of aberdeen, but they got many parts of eastern scotland and north east england. we will lose that muggy air as we head towards this evening. picking up a south—westerly wind instead. the rain pushing its way across northern ireland and southern and western scotland, turning into big showers this afternoon. more rain hot on his heels or the west. many, there is dry and bright weather. strong sunshine coming through. our own 18 celsius our highs. let's follow the progress. dampening eastern areas by morning. a chilly start in the west but otherwise it looks like another lovely day.

sajjan: we are very proud to take a leadership role in latvia. the other contributing nations that make up the battle group, we have nations from all across europe. that is what makes it more unique for us, and makes for a very interesting hockey tournament. [laughter] i know we are already setting one up. , i don't need to ascertain much to our canadian troops. i have very proud of the work, regardless of what mission we the them on, the innovation bring to every mission and professionalism. they not only understand with their job is, they understand the bigger picture. this is not only about sending a battle group. a fully capable combat force is not large. ist we're demonstrating nato's ability to come together message of deterrence. it is the professionalism our troops will bring to the table. it is that message of deterrence. when it comes to the length, we will make sure that we are there to make sure we send the right message. .> i got the last question thank you. when i was a kid, all politicians were named mcdonald or laurier. they came

salen killed latvia's. >> reporter: the man known as the great emancipator would not be pinned down on this one. >> we're all friends now. if some is folks want to honor their ancestors, i say that is fine. but if other folks living in that same state think it might be an insult to them, they should talk it out. they should talk it out and come to that decision themselves. i'm going to stay out of that. >> many of those reenactors are amateur historians. tonight at 11:00 we talk to the big guns. renowned civil war historian and author who taught thousands of students at virginia tech. wese this issue. and the movement to take down confederate statues and change names. >> speaking of changed names, there has been talking about jeb stuart high school. do you get the sense that the school will change its name? >> i don't know. they are thinking about putting it on the agenda in a few weeks. they have scheduled a tentative vote for june 22nd. and i'll keep on top of it. >> we know you will. looking forward to your story tonight too. you can watch is it a race in history? tonight at 11:00.

finally, over in latvia, this man achieved the first—ever human parachutejump from a drone.feet. he landed safely with his parachute. not looking good out there. i've retired to the inner sanctum. dover castle was continuously defended for 900 years, right up until the 1950s. it was a successful defence. i wonder whether our homes are more vulnerable. as we are filling them with more and more connected devices. this is the family room at the heart of the castle where the lord and his family can relax between some thick walls. the king could unwind with a game of chess. in the 13th century, they didn't have the internet of things but they still have things. how do we make iot more secure? we have a security expert as our guest. we keep hearing about these connected devices continually being hacked. why is it so hard for manufacturers to make them more secure? it is not hard. itjust needs thought, effort and time to do it right. they have to get their product to market and get first mover and someone says security. do they carry on and ship it out and expose us as consumers? t

and come tot latvia. ibya. take a taxi into libya. [indiscernible] it's your hometown, your city. quentin: this is home now. drops are widespread, dotting the monotony and the wounds of young fighters. the islamic state is waiting for the right moment and the right recruit. >> making sure they don't go down that path. to do with they do, there are people that are looking for young lads to blow themselves up. they are going to find them and convince them and make them do and do and do. quentin: he was once good friends with manchester bomber , salman abedi, but they chose different sides in the war. they have not seen each other in five years. the fighting changed both men. >> i have been in war over three years. i have seen so much blood. i would not go blow myself up. quentin: but life here is warped. mohammed was filmed probably desecrating i.s. corpses. -- proudly desecrating i.s. corpses. on instagram, tell me what happened, why did you shoot those bodies? >> it is wrong. what can i say? i do regret it, but they deserved to die. they deserved to die because they killed so many

and the baltic countries, i can assure you having been in latvia, are very nervous about what russia is up to. i think they were looking for an affirmation that, a, the president understands all of this, and, b, is supportive along the lines i just mentioned. nato is in the midst of its largest forward deployment since the end of the cold war with separate battalions in the three baltic countries and in poland. more than 20 nato countries have been involved with us in afghanistan. so, i'm sure they were hoping to hear his views on those issues. >> ambassador, do you believe president trump reassured theresa may or other european leaders as it relates to leaks? we've kind of gone back and forth earlier this morning. we had heard that the u.k. was uncomfortable sharing intelligence information as it related to manchester because of information that was leaked to our press. but it's not just those kind of leaks that are unsettling. we know the president himself, whether it was sharing sensitive information that we got from israel to russian leaders, or talking to the president of the ph

turkey, norway, lithuania, romania, latvia all below 2%. do the numbers need to go up and if so are they capable of doing it? is it realistic? guest: if greece can pay more than 2% i would certainly think italy, spain, and france can do it. we are protecting them. nato is protecting them. they owe the rest of the european nations and the united states an obligation to do their fair share. host: the president is also wanting to ask nato to step up in the fight against isis. is that the role of nato? guest: that's a little more complicated. that's up to the president to decide how he wants to try to move nato. i know nato was very successful in the breakdown of the former yugoslavia, bosnian-serbian war so maybe there is a role for them, but really in the middle east it's more important that the people over there provide the boots on the ground and ight the fight -- kurds, turks , sunnies. host: the former ambassador to nato wrote an opinion piece writing that troops, ships, tanks, and planes are not the core of nato's strength. at the core o

aggression which is strong in the balkans and ever present in countries like estonia, lithuania and latviais jumping right in going overseas. this is a big trip. >> he has already assuaged the nato allies when he met with the secretary general at the white house and said we are here and we are a member and we want to be with you on this. i think what's really important in addition to solving the palestine conflict is the g-7 and nato meetings. with north korea's aggression, we need to have all of our allies on the same page encountering north korea and stopping them from bad behavior which is endangering asia and the rest of the world. laura: one of the things we've been looking at with visiting pope francis is the president's trip and pope francis views. >> i think this is a work in progress. the president and the pope couldn't have two more divergent views. that being said, for the president of the united states not to have a harmonious relationship with the pope. [inaudible] >> we can't envision the being combative. it will be a decent visit. >> i think the president, one of his strengt

people just azoom that if latvia spends 1.7 versus 2.0 is important, but it's not. what is important is long-term stability. absence of war, peace through strength, and it last all been damaged as a result of this t p trip. >> let's talk about who is sergey gorkov. he was sanctioned by the treasury. tell me about this kremlin banker and trained by the fsb or kgb. >> i know sergey gorkov. i don't nope him well, but he is a senior figure in the banking sector and when he took over a bank it was considered a stronger person for putin in that role. but i want to point out something else, andreandrea. if i were giving you a list of two dozen people that i think could open up an important channel to putin, gorkov would not make my list. i think we have exaggerated the tight role he has with putin because he went to the fsb scho pipon't understand why he of all people was t one that met with kushner. i have theories, but i don't know why, it seems very odd. >> why would sanctioned to punish putin if he is not part of the circle. >> he is part of the circle, but not the inn

seriously, particularly in the baltic stakes, the concern that putin might continue his advances in latvia and lithuania. they don't want any suggestion of weakness, any divisions or splits in nato. >> it's like inside base bail. he's add nato. he's very clear on the alliance. 13,000 troops in afghanistan. rex tillerson says the course the u.s. applies to article 5. >> i think it may have been overblown. there was some suggestion before his speech that he was doing to explicitly say i stand by article 5. while he did talk about the threat from the russians and he did talk about article 5 and how that was invoked only once after 9-11, you know, there's some people in europe that for whom that still not enough. they wanted to hear an explicit support endorsement of article 5 by this president. >> yeah, they want to hear that. what about ponying up? canada, italy, germany, with all of their riches that do not pay the 2% of their gdp for nato. >> that was those interesting moments where i think that the foreign audience and the domestic audience here in the united states were very different. o

frankly, it doesn't make a world of difference whether latvia or lithuania pay 1% or 1.5% or 2%. because america's gdp is so large 2% of america's gdp overwhelms that of everybody else. the most important thing as i said before he did not cite article 5 of the nato agreement, which is what everybody was looking for him to do. >> ayesha, this war room -- you have been among the news organizations reporting this, it could be staffed by the names we know who are also dealing with incoming subpoenas, to put out bluntly. i think that's part of the issue with this, is the trump administration willing to go outside its kinds of loyalty circle and get an outsider for this war room? because at this point it seams like president trump is really only comfortable with those people that he knows and that he feels are loyal to him. and does this situation call for people who are outside of that, who are outside of his circle. >> here's looking at you corey lewandowski. thank you all, ayesha, hugh, and rick thank you for joining us at this late hour on a friday night of a holiday weekend. >>> c

and you've got poland and estonia and latvia and lithuania all concerned that russia may be looking atnging them back into the warm embrace of the soviet union. this is designed to prevent that from happening. if donald trump is strengthening nato, he is doing exactly the opposite of cozying up with russia. >> exactly. the polls are doing more than what is expected of them as they usually do. greatest people in the world after the americans, the polls. always taking on the chin when there's a war but wonderful people. he's getting these others embarrassing them into it. countries like germany and so on. one of the officials today said were not going to use nato to defend or fight isis, and trump will challenge that as well, secretary tillers ended and is absently right. this is a mortal threat in case they haven't noticed manchester and the throat of all of europe. >> martha: how can they deny the responsibility when their credo is an attack on one as an attack on all. how can they say were happy to pitch in what were supposed to pitch in a but not going to look at this is a global thr

the biggest of these countries is poland but they also have the czech republic, latvia and lithuania,ation we have seen today. we have seen small reductions in net migration and that group, that is the lowest it has been since 2004, net migration. the drop in the value of the pound and the continued uncertainty about the status of eu citizens, following brexit, that is likely to have had a significant impact. there is the phrase that one keeps hearing, tens of thousands, a phrase people talk about, and even given the remarkable figures here, that is a long way off. it is a very long way. the thing to remember, with the migration from the group that has been a major focus migration from the group that has been a majorfocus because migration from the group that has been a major focus because of the fa ct been a major focus because of the fact that we can't control eu migration while we are members of the eu, these are the people most likely to be low skilled workers within that group, that group is now effectively zero and the data suggests it could even be negative, more people leaving

eston estonia, latvia, poland. all focus on what nato is doing and those countries really support what the u.s. is doing in terms of contributing to the nato force there to deter russia. but look. the administration has something to say there, too. just today they announced, or last night. 4.8 billion in european defense spending to boost those forces which are trying to deter russia. so if russia wants to, he can highlight that. of course, we don't know what he will say when he is sitting around the dinner table. >> that's the joy can of covering this president sometimes. you just never know what he might say. >>> so is it better if you're a republican to talk about russia or health care? that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet? and it's also a story mail aabout people a
