in november 1942, 33,000 allied troops land on the shores of north africa. all this is made possible to a large extent by the role betty had played in getting the vichy ciphers. churchill called the invasion of north africa to parliament the end of the beginning -- a step when the allies would move forward and work in a single direction to accomplish their goals. and betty helped make this possible. it was after her success with the vichy ciphers that both the british and the americans -- general "wild bill" donovan and william stephenson -- decided they would put betty into france, that she would go with brousse and together they would be a fantastic team. betty spoke very good boarding school french. she had been educated in switzerland. brousse's family knew everyone, and they were very excited by the prospects of this team working behind the lines in france. this idea began to take shape, but people in the oss said, wait a minute. betty is an american citizen, still married to a british diplomat. the gestapo and going to be looking at her with a magnifyi

russia, the middle east, migration from north africa and defense spending. when german chancellor angela merkel was at the white house with president trump, we heard a lot from the administration about getting countries of nato to pay their fair share. right now, it seems like that is just and rhetoric from the white house but do you think the rhetoric has led to nato allies feeling the pressure that they are going to have to increase their payment and pay their fair share? guest: let's define fair share. nato standards is to commit to percent of its gdp to defense spending. the u.s. is well above that. total only five allies meet the 2% nato standard. overhat has been because the last several decades, we have taken a break on defense spending in europe. a piece dividend, if you will after the breakup of the soviet union. totally different. with russia's aggression in crimea and eastern ukraine, with russian military modernization and instability to the southeast of nato in syria and iraq and due south across the mediterranean that has sparked mass migration

in north africa and that region but at the same time, we have to come back to europe and focus once again on europe. and that is especially the case after the annexation of crimea and the use of force against -- russia's more assertive behavior especially against the ukraine. therefore, nato is implementing the reinforcement to the collective defense that a stem since cold war. we are fixing the response force. and we're deploying forces both to the altered countries and in the southeast of the alliance. so we are adapting, once again, to a response of a more difficult and challenging security. and again, the message is that we are investing in defense not to promote conflict but to prevent conflict. so what we do is defensive. it is proportionate and it is measured in a way that we don't want to provoke a cold war and we don't want a defensive. it is proportionate new arms race and we base this on the idea that there is no contradiction between strength -- strength and dialogue. we strongly believe that as long as nato is united, and as long as it is firm and predictable, then we can and
