i would like to speak about nato. you mentioned president biden has spoken about the importance of reaffirming america's alliances. in my view, our alliances are an asymmetric advantage that neither beijing nor moscow can come close to matching. are you satisfied with the deliverables are was something missing? >> you are absolutely right to say that the nato alliance is on a different order to the situation that russia and china have. they are single states whereas nato is bringing a number of states together. there is a shared understanding of the importance of that for security and the threats that are posed to it. as an aside, when i was prime minister and president trump was elected, one thing i wanted was to emphasize to president trump the importance of america being in nato. in the campaign he had made comments about nato which were perhaps negative. it is important that america is there in nato and that we are able to work together. what came out of the nato summit -- when you look at the communique, there ar

what so ever to united states or nato? anything that makes the ukrainians willing to cause trouble when russia is welcomed . united states approves of is the trouble that the ukraine is apparently prepared to present russia. ok and then consolidations. don't see many issues. but there is something on which they always agree in america is exceptional, direct our economy. what does that mean? here's how american journalist and bullets a prize winner eric list below explains that, ah, americans, proc obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism, which i think means of living to a higher moral ideal based on democracy and freedom and human rights. and that's just simply untrue. so the exceptionalism in one regard, claims to be a license to do anything, without fear of repercussions. it's also an indicator of the world that the exceptionalism that america uses in its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the, to the populations of different nations. ah, methods of warfare are becoming in

so we have thoughts are taken over by nato naval forces. the 3rd phase, annihilating the ussr, wiping it off the wells map. to that end for new weapons, i've had to be deployed nuclear, chemical, radiological, and biological, as well as small arms. the final phase breaking the ussr into 4 zones and posting nato troops on its territory. the more than $18000000.00 the majority of the huge countries population would have died in the intense bombing and subsequent fighting. they have a series of these kinds of war plans. when kennedy briefed on them in the early sixties, there was our advice that we call ourselves a human race. but these plans continue for preemptive attacks against the soviet union. mm. this was in essence an updated version of the nazi general plan. aust, that envisaged eliminating millions of slavic people and as in world war 2, when much of europe stood united against the us as the us plans to muster all nato nations, under the ages of operation dropshot in 1949. the. the soviets acquired that own nuclear weapons. so any pl

it was a nato operation. it was in legal nato operation. they killed over 2000 innocent civilians and frankly in this and soldiers who hadn't declared war and anybody ah, i driven by adrian shaped by those with me. ah, me dares thing. we dare to ask me to join me posted on the alex salmon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me it was also of the carry. this was, it was intended to show russia the new russia couldn't go too far the. so that's because i was lean over in the visibility one i scenario. you go be staying on this, you know, but i'm not going to say this nash was let me ask scenario not to be any, was talk of psychiatry or say the one. yeah. don't school go over them and was not c as actually so that anything is in the actual cause. hm. after the collapse of the treaty organization, nato expanded east, despite having promised not to use, but they did nato's at half the hours. we moved east. the international law exists as long as it serves american in

or nato.rejected the idea of an active european military force while they say it is the time for them to increase their military presence. >> our union is a unique security provider. there will be missions when when they will not be present but where europe should be. you can have the most advanced forces in the world but if you will not use them, what use are they? what has held us back on till now is not just a shortfall of capacity but it is a lack of political will. >> they warned earlier this month that eu should not stretch their forces. they welcome more efforts on defense but that cannot replace data. we have one set of forces and scarce resources. earlier this month, their debate created a 5000 troop force to deploy during emergencies. that faces opposition from some countries that are also members of nato. particularly, those bordering russia. battle groups of 1500 soldiers from each state were created but never actually use. low defense spending among these countries is seen as a ma

, but they did. nato said it's ours. we moved east. the international law exists as long as it serves american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist. so, truthfully, there's no such thing as international law since the soviet union, going to the usa has been surrounding new russia with a belt of hostile nations populated songs. and in order to come in, stockton, count gus as owns, own vin follow not have owned our price, the kind of ignorant mental picture, lena should. oh, the color revolutions is a strategy to over through these regimes install puppets. and that are there from that point forward, are very susceptible to influence kurdistan, georgia and ukraine. these countries were targeted by the george h w bush, or george w bush, the senior vice president of ronald reagan and bribed with hundreds of millions of dollars. and these monies were given the countries in exchange for their acquiescence in their submission to american military and economic and political objectives. in a ring of nato military bases is bei

the nato reliance and security challenges. she was interviewed by mark esper at the community institute. >> hello. i am mark esper, senior fellow at the mccain institute. thank you for joining us. i'm proud to welcome you to the next installment of our program. i am honored to welcome and admired states person and longtime trend of the united states, the former prime minister of great britain teresa may. together we will discuss the outcome of joe biden's first trip to europe as president of the united states and what people on both sides of the atlantic expect going forward. as we know president biden's trip began with a visit to the uk but he then transitioned to a meeting of the g-7, the first in person gathering in years due to covid and one of the major discussions being the people's republic of china. president biden attended a summit in brussels where china was once again on the agenda as well as other matters such as russian aggression in europe and the alliances withdrawal from afghanistan. last week president biden m

former nato secretary general. you can _ violence. former nato secretary general.o secretary general. you can listen to - violence. former nato secretary general. you can listen to her. violence. former nato secretary i general. you can listen to her new podcast a wish for afghanistan or. it looks at the hopes and experience of afghanistan during 20 years of war. 20 years after 9/11, legal proceedings against the man of masterminding them have resumed at guantanamo bay's military prison in cuba. forassociates guantanamo bay's military prison in cuba. for associates in pre—trial proceedings, which have seen years of delays. the controversial key rings will determine the key issue of what evidence will be admissible. but much of the evidence is likely to be heard in secret. i am joined now by the bbc�*s north america correspondent who is at guantanamo bay for us. 20 years on, is there any sense that these meeting proceedings —— legal proceedings could be any nearer a conclusion? certainly not a conclusion, not even really a start of the trial proper. we do not have a

it was a nato operation. it was in legal nato operation. they killed over 2000 innocent civilians and frankly in this and soldiers who hadn't declared war and anybody ah yeah, i i can't read the drugs are essential for millions of patients. or are they, they want that pill that they hope will take care of their problem thoroughly and rapidly in the short term they really work. the problem is, in the long term, they're mostly disastrous. suddenly stopping a drug can cause withdrawal symptoms more serious than the condition it was meant to treat instead of the beneficial effects of these different medicines, any up to something wonderful, very often they're harmful effects and up to something terrible can pills. so of all ills are trying to mitigate life itself. i just think i was like i was just scared, scare little girl, the 24. and like, i didn't have to be so complicated me but civic leg around the world. expedition by 1000 miles round the clock of the dead. calm miss wilson in michigan. as every country close by it cut my food, gavin's o

so now, if you will, the e u, why not just actually contribute more to nato, or if nato is so irrelevant? why does nature exist at all? well, that's another issue that has been long discussed having a strengthened european pillar within nato, so that there wouldn't be duplication. and that's a key issue. and i think right now we had the state of the union address yesterday, which you had some tape over the vendor line, but she didn't mention in her speech strategic autonomy. so i think that's a really important point to know is what was and said, it seems like france is pretty much, very loud about the strategic autonomy debate. and then in addition to that, we see this big inter pacific announcement made today everyone has been waiting for for such a long time. and that was kind of undercut by the u. s. u k, australia, because new strategic partnership. so i think that europe is kind of really right now, and they're not sure what they're going to do. they've had a year where breasted, you know, better has left the u. k. was one of the biggest defense providers. and they were trying to t

all of this matters for nato. >> as nato secretary-general, you have to worry about so many threats.t keeps you up at night? >> first of all, i am able to sleep at night. >> good. >> i think we are facing such complex challenges, different challenges at the same time. i grew up during the cold war. the challenge was the soviet union. now there are so many. we have cyber terrorism, the rise of china, russia, all of this together, and therefore, as long as we stand together, as long as we are united, then we are safe. laura: that was the nato secretary-general speaking to me a short time ago. now that the u.s. is out of afghanistan, the taliban is in charge. it's a big topic this week the secretary-general says preventing women from being educated would not be islam it. he laid out to the conditions under which pakistan would recognize the taliban government. >> afghanistan feels very close. in the 1990's, the taliban had their origins in the refugee camps here. the taliban -- pakistan has always been accused of setting up the taliban and helping them take power in afghanistan, somethi

but that cannot replace nato. it should not duplicate naser because we have one set of forces and we have scarce resources. on earlier this month, you ministers debated creating a $5000.00 troops force to deploy during emergencies. and that plan faces opposition from some countries that are also members of nato, particularly those bordering russia. in 2007 so called battle groups of 1500 soldiers drawn from each member state were created, but never actually used low defense spending among european countries as seen as a major obstacle to the continent. military independence, european naser members spent 1.64 percent of their g, d, p on military expenditure last year. that's well below the alliances 2 percent target. now germany and france though, amongst the biggest spend, is they both increase their military budgets. the. well, let's bring in our gas now in brussels. we have theresa fallon, the director of the center for russia, europe, asia studies in washington, d. c. david de roche associate professor at the n

yeah, nato will, ukraine will not be able to join nato. the members of nato are, are against the same with georgia. we had just in 2008 when we did military maneuvers in georgia. we had just left when the russians came on, came on in, that just shows you the extent of us engagement with and commitment to, to defense of georgia. and that's the same will apply to ukraine. well, and i want to continue this conversation like always michael, thank you for setting and some light on this situation. sure. coming up, we will have a report from the capital and a look at all the measures that capitol hill police are taking to ensure there will not be a repeat of the events that we saw in january 6 state in the ah, i have transparency for the powerful receipts and the last bit cares about privacy . what people care about is power. julian, a sons, is become a symbol of the battles of brevity. information is power. that's what's going on. and a huge struggle with governments and corporations who want to keep information secret and others who democratic

nato chief. yes. the secretary i general of nato. there have long been _ general of nato. there were talks here about 20,000 strong military force but i about 20,000 strong military force but i think— about 20,000 strong military force but i think what this really comes down _ but i think what this really comes down to— but i think what this really comes down to is— but i think what this really comes down to is europe's changing relationship with america and the idea that, — relationship with america and the idea that, you know, europe doesn't want always— idea that, you know, europe doesn't want always be in the position where it has— want always be in the position where it has to _ want always be in the position where it has to rely on the us to support any military— it has to rely on the us to support any military action or military intervention and i think, you know, that has— intervention and i think, you know, that has come to the fore very much because _ that has come to the fore very much because of— that has come to the fore very much because of what has happened

s. lead nato alliance. the need for this increased military capability was recently made clear during the chaotic evacuations, from couple airport european nations had to rely almost entirely on the united states. now european commission, president of love on the lion says the block needs the political will to stand on its own. she says the you should be able to deploy a military force without relying on the us. busy or nato, but many in europe have strongly rejected the idea of an active european military force, while others say the time has come for europe to increase its military presence. that are your opinion is a unique security provider. there will be mission where nato, all the united nations will not be present. but where you up should be. you can have the most advanced forces in the world. but if you never prepared to use them of what use are they? what us has helped us back until now is not just a shortfall of capacity. it is the lack of political will. while the nasal secretary general warned ea

to, to engage our nato allies. and then beyond that, once we laid the plan for retro grading, our equipment and people, we synchronize that plan with our allies to make sure that we had everyone and everything accounted for. and finally, regarding general milly, again, much of what's in all of what's in that book happened before i became secretary of defense. so i can't comment on on that as well. and certainly i will comment on what's in the book. i have confidence in general milly i don't have a comment there. 100 will turn to greg didn't of a b. c news. good afternoon and thank you for this opportunity. also on behalf of the colleagues, i must questions was only to ra, primarily directed to the secretaries, but no doubt, ministers painted. dutton may choose to respond following on from yesterday's remarkable orca submarine decision and it goes to the principle of reciprocity. so a strike your is going to get to america.

encouraging yes, in the nato, ukraine will not be able to join nato. the members of nato are, are against that. the same with georgia. we had just in 2008 when we did military maneuvers and in georgia. we had just left when the russians came on, came on in. that just shows you the extent of us engagement with and commitment to, to the fence of georgia. and that's the same will apply to ukraine. well, and i want to continue this conversation like always michael, thank you for setting in some light on this situation. sure. coming up, we will have a report from the capital and a look at all the measures that capitol hill police are taking to ensure there will not be a repeat of the events that we saw in january 6 state to join me every thursday on the alex silent show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm . the i use ah, it was taken down months ago and now it's back up to fencing around the nation's capital has returned at the report of a right winged rally scheduled for septemb

i'm going to stop will not join nato, so crossover will join nato. and that's why the situation is completely different. we are also strengthening our own army because unfortunately, serbia is not only not recognizing our country and not showing regrets for the crimes of the past. but also from time to time grouping and regrouping its military forces of uniting our country and not showing regrets for the crimes of the past. but also from time to time grouping and regrouping its military forces around our border, where they can, of course, just have a gaze at it because definitely they will never, they are to do anything similar as they done in the last century. albin curtis prime minister, of course. thank you for talking to l. just. thank you very much for having me. ah. the from the preventive of correct. so the battle fields around most of our job is to get to the truth and empower people through knowledge. frank assessments, by where it went. it again, the press freedom of expression is what's going to get human right. in depth analysis of the da

yes, nato will. ukraine will not be able to join nato. the members of nato are, are against the same with georgia. we had just in 2008 when we did military maneuvers in georgia. we had just left when the russians came on, came on in, that just shows you the extent of us engagement with and commitment to, to defense of georgia. and that's the same will apply to ukraine. well, and i want to continue this conversation like always michael, thank you for putting in some light on this situation. sure. coming up, we will have a report from the capital and a look at all the measures that capitol hill police are taking to ensure there will not be a repeat of the events that we saw in january 6. states in the, in the back guys are financial survival guide. when customers go buy, you reduce the price now well, reduce the lower the best under cutting, but what's good for food market? it's not good for the global economy. ah, it was picking down months ago and now it's back up. the fencing around the nation's capital has returned at reports of a right

not just about foreign policy and nato in europe. who would have been with this german boon descent, who was here is the democracy. and this is exactly what will be discuss me. despite the obvious challenges, the merkel years will go down as a time of relative stability for most germans. her policies have made it easier for families to balance. children with korea's employment figures have remained steady while the economy is enviable in the you. internationally, germany has taken a far more prominent role under medical leadership than it is had in modern times. one of the big concerns right now though, is that with no clear successor to angle america in terms of policy or certainly international clout, what will become of those years of stability that was seen when to her rain patrol of her r t. berlin? well, we hit the streets of the german cities to get people's take on angela merkel and her legacy. it's been a long time. i've experienced 3 chancellors cold, schmidt and merkel. it's strange when you're $54.00 and you've only had 3

we are very well aware of that, of going to son will not join nato, so crossover will join nato. and that's why the situation is completely different. we are also strengthening our own army because unfortunately, serbia is not only not recognizing our country and not showing regrets for the crimes of the past. but also from time to time grouping and regrouping its military forces around our border, where they can, of course, just have a gaze at it because definitely they will never, they are to do anything similar as they done in last century. albin curtis prime minister, of course, thank you for talking to out. just thank you very much for having me. ah, how many nukes is too many new america has in many ways driven the arms race parties are much more like the british parties. now, there are fewer regulation to own a tiger than their our own a dog. how can this be happening? your weekly take on us politics and, and that's the bottom line. the state of mind sits in the mouth of the region, goes a big eastern end of the era peninsula. if you look at the raven peninsula, it was a h

a brain dead alliance, best strong words within nato. they want to revise the concept, he's teaching concepts and bring it back actually to the north atlantic. because if you follow america, nato will soon be in the pacific, cruising around china with the others. this is not the way nature was conceived, and it shouldn't be there. europeans should not be in that region of the world markets that repeatedly, that we should enlarge, our vision any desperately look to something to do. that's the reality. you know, we are in the, i mean maint, what's in the scanner is in iraq to train the forces. that's the limits of the extension. this is not the north atlantic anymore. is it? ok, i want to take, you know, to the spanish island of la palmer were day really has become night. as you can see, their plumes of ash filling the skies. company via the volcano has no entered a new exclusive phase that had been going on for a number of days at leading to the airport on saturday. being shut huge cues of people are not being seen, accusing for boats try

we are very well aware of that, of going to son will not join nato, so crossover will join nato. and that's why the situation is completely different. we are also strengthening our own army because unfortunately, serbia is not only not recognizing our country and not showing regret for the crimes of the past. but also from time to time grouping and regrouping its military forces around our border, where they can of course, just have a gaze at it because definitely they will never, they are to do anything similar as they done in last century. albin, kirsty prime minister, of course, thank you for talking to l. just. thank you very much for having me. ah. news. news. news. news on air will only be part of the debate or pacific people. the ocean is our identity and the source of well being. we are the, when no help take it off the table. it's a shooting site atmosphere. people are demoralized, they're exhausted and many health care workers are experiencing p t f. d like symptom. jump into this dream and julian global community. if you're online on youtube right now, you can be part

the reason for nato existence is transatlantic security. this is what we want to remind the united states off. therefore, our partners decided on our initiative as well as on the initiative of germany to revise the strategic concept of the alliance. being allies does not mean being hostage to the interests of another country. at 1st, the spat seemed confined to only a few powers. france being upset with the suspension of its submarine contract with australia, which resulted from offices, the provisioning of nuclear sub technology to the country. and the entire strategic alliance is feeling the reverb. it is such a difficult issue where we see traditional alliances in some way torn apart are certainly changed fundamentally, but the issue doesn't stop there. london doesn't even feel like they've done anything wrong. it's 3 very like mine did allies standing shoulder to shoulder creating a new partnership for the sharing of technology. it is not exclusive. i did not trying to to shoulder anybody. i did not at the stereo towards china. you stat

it's nato. we run it. and when we think it's relevant, it's been for and if it's not relevant, it's not report. okay. you see, i mean, i think it's almost like child's play. the see the french reaction. they mean all this, you know? no, you, you made the bed together and you slept in it. go ahead george. yeah, yes. that's, that's exactly right. and where are you? what ideally should happen now is france, germany in europe will reconsider. what may, doesn't matter what the policy is really about, but it's very unlikely to happen. i mean, you know, 1st of all, nato has expanded to co op, a whole bunch of states that are rabidly anti russia because what would clearly make sense now for europe would be to forge some kind of a working friendly partnership with russia. i mean all this that, that should have been the policy in the 990, but it's going to be very difficult to do because you've got all of these things face bowl and then you know the unit for expend remaining. and so i'm very busy at georgia, they ar

did you ever expect that the united states, it's nato allies, would end? what has now been a 20 year military campaign there and leave the country to that group. you've just mentioned the same tara group that they went there to defeat. you know, lots of people are saying they were surprised by the decision. i suppose now people are saying, well, joe biden was against obama serge, which is obviously so destructive of the lives of millions of africa, ordinary africans, president obama comes out of his story as one of the most evil president of the united states. according to afghans on the ground, you saw the surgeon in all its in all its har roofing atrocious, las, and as to whether we expected it is a testament to joe biden. because joe biden did go against the vested interests of big, profitable companies, where this recycling of money the julian assigned, so famously talks about the whole forever war system, whereby people who are poor and dispossessed to the united states pay their sales tax. and somehow that is recycled in this massive money laundromat

i'm going to stop will not join nato, so crossover will join nato. and that's why the situation is completely different. we are also strengthening our own army because unfortunately, serbia is not only not recognizing our country and not showing regrets for the crimes of the past. but also from time to time grouping and regrouping its military forces around our border, which they can of course, just have a gaze at it because definitely they will never dare to do anything similar as they done in the last century. albin, kirsty prime minister, of course, thank you for talking to l. just. thank you very much for having me. ah. it was meant to be that day. just here's a car was going quickly. but a tragic attack stunned the world and the u. s. president. a guy came in and whispered something into the prejudiced ear. what did he has fatal for the school children present? the events of september, the 11th defined the world. they grew up in just a huge moment. these are their stories. 911 witness on al jazeera, the native news, as it breaks, the big concern

a brain dead alliance, fast strong words within nato. they want to revise the concept, he's teaching concepts and bring it back actually to the north atlantic. because if you follow america, nato will soon be in the pacific, cruising around china with us. this is not the way nature was conceived and it shouldn't be there. europeans should not be in that region of the world markets that repeatedly, that we should enlarge our vision any desperately look to something to do. that's the reality. you know, we are in the, i mean, maintain what's in the scanner stuff is in iraq. to train the forces. that's the limits of the extension. this is not the north atlantic anymore. is it? or in the next edition of our he's going underground. this coming saturday, germany is former nato representative, explains how the balance of power has shifted within the alliance and the world. there are discussions among allies, among europeans, about the right strategy towards russia, and the same applies to asia, please. we have, let's say the developed trade and

we are very well aware of that of going to son will not join nato. so kosovo will join nato. and that's why the situation is completely different. we are also strengthening our own army because unfortunately, serbia is not only not recognizing our country and not showing regrets for the crimes of the past. but also from time to time grouping and regrouping its military forces around our border, where they can, of course, just have a gaze at it because definitely they will never, they are to do anything similar as they done in the last century. albin curtis prime minister. of course. thank you for talking to out. just thank you very much for having me. ah. when freedom of the press is under threat, step outside the mainstream shift, the focus that pandemic has turned out to be a handy little pre tax for the prime minister to clamp down on the press. so listening post on a jazz eda, who's who's with me ah this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm all about this, and this is the news i live from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes. a plea for help guide us down to you and says at leas

best strong words within nato. they want to revise the concept, he's teaching concepts and bring it back actually to the north atlantic. because if you follow america, nato will soon be in the pacific closing around china with us. this is not the way nature was conceived and it shouldn't be there. europeans should not be in that region of the world. markets said repeatedly that we should enlarge our vision any desperately look to something to do. that's the reality. you know, we are in the, i mean, major, what's in the scanner stuff is in iraq. to train the forces. that's the limits of the extension. this is not the north atlantic anymore, is it? and finally, a volcanic eruption in stains canary islands has intensified after already having destroyed hundreds of homes and force thousands of residents to flee. the option on the island of la palmer of the north west coast of africa has been occurring for more than a week. now, firefighters to lead the vicinity because of the escalation of volcanic activity, the 1st of

still very influential within nato. and would have to then see what happens with the weather in germany. some new kind of leadership going to merge that will have your a really con, just go on hiding behind america. wherever you georgia me. you know, not telling them the, their nato outlines they were leaving. dennis den number one. then we have this submarine deal. number 2, in very short succession, we have american patriot missile systems being removed from saudi arabia and other places here. i mean, a lot of things are moving around right now. one thing is for sure, the, these old in stone principles about foreign policy architecture. they're all moving away, they're crumbling, like deaf and oh, and this is, nato has a good opportunity to rethink. and so maybe we think itself out of existence to start talking about its own real national security here. gentlemen would run out of time when they are slowing in budapest. i want to thank you for watching and here are phoenix time and remember cross the the in the the ger
