that weather front will have gone through and will have introduced slightly colder air from the north atlanticill shift here so perhaps a few snow showers. but during the daytime, temperatures will be hovering around seven or 8 degrees. it never really does get cold in the south. towards the end of the week and into the weekend, high—pressure still in charge of the weather in the south and in the north we still have a weather front coming off of the atlantic. for scotland, saturday, the first weekend of 2020 looking pretty wet, cloudy and quite windy at times, and the south closer to be high—pressure the weather is still looking fine and sunshine and relatively mild. that same pattern continues right to the course of the weekend. saturday and into sunday and monday here. high—pressure to the south of the uk whereas in the north we are expecting weather fronts. let's summarise the weather for early 2020, for many of us, the southern half of the uk, it should be mainly dry, a bit of rain in the north, stronger winds and at times there will be some mist and fog but wherever you are for new year's

now making itsjourney further south, that means slightly colder air will also arrive from the north atlanticeans the skies will also be clearing through this evening and into tomorrow across the northern half of the uk. the thinking is northern ireland, southern and central scotland at the north of england and for a touch of frost, this coming night. not desperately called, —i, —2, whereas in the south where we have the weather front it will be a good deal milder. this is new year's eve, here we have a small fish in a large pond, a little to tiny area of low pressure. it is a bit of cloud cycling around here, around the isles of scilly, possibly bringing a bit of rain during the morning and afternoon, that is pretty much it. the further north and east you are the weather is fine. the weather front from today has moved through by then, that means a bit colder tomorrow. the all—importa nt by then, that means a bit colder tomorrow. the all—important stroke of midnight into 2020. it looks as if the cloud will increase a bit across weather! western areas but it should be dry. northern and eastern

with the russians still blockading berlin, 12 nations came together in washington to sign the north atlantic treaty. thus was born the atlantic alliance and n.a.t.o., its organization for the defense of the west. the beginning of a true system of collective security. realizing that the treaty brought the united states firmly onto the european scene for the first time in peacetime, the communists reacted to say the least unfavorably. western europe took this move towards offensive rearmament very soberly. and in spite of communist threats and propaganda, n.a.t.o.'s first supreme commander, dwight d. eisenhower, arrived in paris to take his post, the planned demonstration came to naught. in a temporary headquarters, the military staff of the alliance began their task of building the continent's defenses. soldiers of many nations, working together in peace time, because those nations realized that to avert war, the safest thing was to be prepared for it. so, into europe's ports came the first weapons to restore the military balance. along with them, soldiers from across the atlantic, from canad

solidarity and the values of freedom and democracy and fun for all encapsulated in article five of the north atlantic treaty that we come to each other's mutual defense. that's why nato works and is so powerful and successful and of course they've argued you can't be complacent about that or remotely. you've got to ensure that we continue to spend on the collective defense and that's why we've made the case that it is what nato will spend for any member and we have been successful in that campaign since the summit in 2014. actually, there has been a substantial increase in spending by our european friends of $130 billion. it will rise to 400 million by 2024 and that was meeting here today. country after country pledged or gave an account of how they were going to meet the pledge. i was able to sketch some of the ways the uk w leads and readines initiative. we are contributing one brigade. the warships including the aircraft carriers and several other delegations among other things there was a mood of solidarity and determination and a willingness to push nato forward not just for the next few years b

europe, but now, this weather front here will be sinking southwards and the colder air in the north atlanticand and also the north of england. the wind is also going to fall light, the skies will clear and the temperatures will be dipping away. we think that in some of the major cities, belfast, glasgow, edinburgh and newcastle, temperatures will be close to freezing or even lower. but in the south it's going to be a good deal milder. so, we're into new year's eve and this is the weather map across europe, big high pressure, with this rather odd—looking area of low pressure sitting right in the middle of it. and it is an odd low, it's just a bit of cloud and a few spots of rain sitting around the isles of scilly. the skies may be a bit cloudy across wales and perhaps southern parts of england but much of the country is in for a bright if not sunny day, and slightly colder in the north. and then, it's new year's eve night, so, what can we expect? at the stroke of midnight, it looks like it will be a little bit cloudy across western parts of the uk, but the important message is that it's going

has been going downhill in scotland but our focus at the moment is on what is going on in the north atlanticow pressure systems. these number to my combine to make storm atiyah, and it is the squeeze on the isobars on the southern portion of this low pressure that will bring strong winds to the west of ireland and towards the west of england and wales to sunday night as well. before we get there, it will be windy tonight across the uk as rain pushes east. the rain will be heavy and the winds will be gusty as well. we will see plenty of squally showers make. temperatures will be mild. tomorrow, it will be much windier. we are looking for a day of sunshine and showers, but through the day the showers will merge together to give longer spells of rain in northern ireland and scotla nd rain in northern ireland and scotland and as that happens we will get colder air are arriving as well so get colder air are arriving as well so colder than today, around in belfast, 8 degrees in newcastle, double figures for the south but then come the strong winds. the pension the isobars will work towards the wes

therefore no one will start a war this is central principle is enshrined in article 5 of the north atlantic treaty that if any one of us is attacked all of us will go to their defense if nato has a motto it is as us says one for all and all for one james bays is diplomatic editor so james the central message is unity but how unified are they. rock solid is not quite how i would describe it there are divisions there are divisions on a number of different fronts and they are divisions that are out there in the open at this summit we know that president trump doesn't like summits he particularly doesn't like nato summit we know that all the other leaders really would not want to be here at this particular time for this summit but this is something that's been in the dari for literally years because it is an event to mark nato's 70th birthday so what they're trying to do i think is damage limitation they've set an agenda that means that their meetings here in this luxury hotel and what food have been compressed very very short meetings and the declaration that will try and paper over the cracks

i think he is right, because in 70 years the threats of the north atlantic have changed.o seems to have come on now, very different strategic goals, the geo—political challenges are very different, and it also does not seem to be extremely interested in the security of europe. so, i think what macron said, perhaps, it was not the most diplomatic language, but occasionally leaders need to use forceful language to shake up an institution and think about its future. normally it is funding. far more important, nato, if it wants to endure as an institution, needs to think about what its mission is going to be. what are its threats, what other security it faces? looking at the security of europe, a lot of the threats it faces are internal. we are talking about leaders and governments that are undermining democracy. we have to think of our relationship with turkey, and allies. let's take a look at what happened in syria in the last six months. the united states was at odds with turkey within syria. this is not supposed to happen amongst nato allies. i think up that they did prom

it could be triggered it below 2 degrees or we see a slowdown of the gulf stream system in the north atlantic which has been long predicted and we're now seeing evidence that it has slowed down already by about 15 percent which means that the northern atlantic is the only region on the globe that has actually been significantly cooling in the last one he is while the whole rest of the planet has been warming and there are major risks for our forests for example we see the amazon forest is under threat that we now see big wildfires in australia where i have spent 6 months on a guest professorship so that's that's where it's very close to home for me when i see my friends and colleagues in australia sydney under a smoke of clouds a cloud of smoke and mess of fires wildfires burning there these are just you know i could go on let me ask you about the timetable because. un's body of scientists the i.p.c.c. has issued some pretty dire warnings about the amount of time that we have to try to get on a track that would be at least to some degree sustainable what's your take how much time do you think

our attention at the moment is focusing on what is going on in the north atlantic.ese two areas of low pressure combine to make storm atiyah, and it is this squeeze on the isobars on the southern portion of the low that brings the strong winds to the southern coast of ireland and during sunday night time across wales and western areas of england, too. before we get there, overnight tonight it will be quite a windy night as a band of heavy rain pushes east across all areas. as the rain clears, it will be followed by blustery showers, but it is the strength of the winds that stops it getting too cold. temperatures overnight for most between 6 and 10 celsius. for sunday's forecast, rain clearing away from the south—east quickly, then it is a day that is going to be much windier than it was today, a day of sunshine and blustery showers, but those showers will tend to merge together to give longer spells of rain in northern ireland and scotland, as colder air tends to work in here. it will be a windy day nationwide, but the strongest winds are to the south of our centre

that donald trump is on the other side of the atlantic ocean celebre. 70th anniversary of the north atlantic treaty organization so the timing is something many have noted but the document is out it repeats the longstanding allegations against trump that people have seen in the ongoing impeachment inquiries the republicans donald trump and the ukrainian leader of all deny these allegations. ok for now kind of open in new york thanks for putting all that into context for us well this was mentioning it's been the nato summit it's been a landmark day for the organization with leaders of member states gathering to mark the military alliance his 70th anniversary having been hit by a series of high profile disputes in recent months including over defense spending it's going to be looking to promote internal unity over the summit how do we see the organizations chief has been feeling somewhat optimistic and that is your friend president trying. it also was a good breakfast. probably told. by the. way all some people in london for their thoughts on 12 and its successes to date. people what they thin

the for stability of the north atlantic treaty area as well as the technological questions including interoperability i do not think that shine can be a matter for. strategic common defense so there are technological questions happy result strategic profoundly strategic i don't i'm not just thinking in terms of the military finality and terrorism on the other hand. you know. they seek to kill our citizens without any negotiations we have. every state has its policies against terrorism which go from their national soil and the fight against groups that exist but we have seen territorial projects and geo political projects emerging and these new forms of terrorism that speaks about international coalition and nato within it and today we see clearly in. particular. with a presence a structured terrorist presence that threaten some of our allies some of our also our citizens and our territories and i will come back to this in a moment as far as the hell is concerned and the 3rd. area of reflection strategically in my opinion. is that of the rights and duties of the different allies colle

the north atlantic treaty organization. russia. summit french president. and the confrontation with. a common topic question deserves clarification you see very strategic question sometimes i hear is russia our enemy is it china is it the mission of the transatlantic alliance to. i don't believe so our common enemy within the alliance is the terrorism that has hit every one of our countries stricken. with president mccrone had set the direction of the nato summit and tweet that off tonight his partners especially in eastern europe. in addition he criticize more severely than any other say fun unilateral american withdrawal from syria and the actions of nature partner turkey in the region has micron's nato. interesting question about a president in the future vision of nato at stake at risk he certainly you know he's arguing that it's all very good spending a lot of money on the military it's all very good having boots on the ground and being efficient militarily but you need to have strategic goals and the central strategic goals we just saw was that is th

plunged into by the aggression from the north atlantic alliance under the pretext of the support of the so-called. spring what concerns that idea to declare a non pilot zone is a bad association in the light of what i have said because nato became stop bombing libya after the security council of un. took such a decision to declare a non pilot zone over libya and the old lee. power which is un security council approved a resolution which approved it gave give an instruction to interest the country to secure this regime of a non pilot zone our nato colleagues however. or next time discredited themselves as partners for negotiations and they took advantage of this resolution so that in a. gross violation to start bombing the territory of libya and what happened as a result you know well and well enough that's why any proposals which are now. once again the creation of not palace on the cause. the provoke. not very pleasant. idea with us and we don't think that we can next time trust although our partners are made to that. so. that it will but i think instead of again doing the same mistake
