Dont worry its just fear on the move. Im phil gallo welcome to the program a suspected murder case is renewing tensions between germany and russia expelled 2 Russian Diplomats over the killing of a georgian citizen in the city last august the victim has been named as for my Chechen Rebel commander said the infanta ghosh village i he was shot dead in broad daylight in a public park in august a suspect named only as 40 m. Has been taken into custody prosecutors suspect a russian or chechen state involvement russia denies any involvement and says it will retaliate against the expulsions. All german chancellor Angela Merkel has defended a different action at the nato meeting in london reporters asked if she discussed the matter with her nato allies. Ill be meeting the russian president next week and then i will let you know whether i have spoken with him and how that goes and weve taken this measure as you know mainly because we have seen that russia is not supporting us in investigating this murder and of course ive spoken with allies about this through bilateral contacts. In kentucky so why dont you just call it up in that you know. Well lets go to lets get more on this from data because of all the maximally on the close each in front of the Russian Embassy and then the end of the show with the moscow welcome both so with maximilian the killing was 3 months ago was it taken so long for germany to expel these diplomats. Now the decision comes after months of continuous efforts here by a bird in authorities to investigate the killing of the victim in august this year and the Foreign Ministry here in berlin has giving the decision to expel or to Russian Diplomats declaring them because their own uncross and therefore asking them to leave the country after the German Authorities have been having both a Russian Embassy to help in the investigation and not being given any help as they say and also founding our like considering some evidence to be found that there has been some involvement from either russian or to cheney and side so both the fact is of the refusal of cooperation by the Russian Embassy but also hints of evidence to russian involvement in the killing of the cheney and man made this decision happen and now the general prosecutor here in germany has taken over the case which only happens if there is a danger to the security of the german states involved and also as we heard the decision by the Foreign Ministry to expel 2 Russian Diplomats to tell us about the suspects in custody. So the victim still in hong kong was killed this august new full from here in the center of palin in a small park old declined. And he was killed in close distance by several shots by a man approaching him with the boy and this is later of surfed that the man on the bike then later tried to dump the boy and a bag containing a gun in a park pond and the victims a far as we know has been fighting an anti russian side in the 2nd to cheney and war in the late 2000 times and then later moved to germany seeking for asylum here but was later refused asylum and us to w. Spoke to his wife after the killing she said in her own words that they knew Something Like this could happen as for the suspect currently named as vadim k. He is currently detained by German Authorities and as far as we know he had already been suspected of murder in russia itself and he is now a key witness as well as a key sort of suspects and figure indeed current investigation by the general federal prosecutor im going to show it in moscow what good reaction has there been from the kremlin. While the kremlin has repeatedly denied that there could have been any russian state involvement in this whole case and we heard a similar denial today as well from the kremlin spokesperson and then after the expulsion of those 2 diplomats we heard from the Foreign Ministry they called the expulsions an unfriendly and unfounded step and they also accuse the german side of basically politicizing this investigation they also said that they would be taking reciprocal measures so it certainly feels like it could be a kind of growing scandal so watch for the action can we expect. Well of course we dont know yet at the moment in similar cases russia usually takes a kind of tit for tat approach you might remember one precedent which was kind of similar which was the screwball case the attempted murder of serug a screw fall in in 2018 the u. K. Accused russia of being involved in trying to kill him and at the time the u. K. Expelled 23 diplomats and russia responded in kind so its a similar case we could see a similar to receptive for tat response but here weve seen only 2 expulsions and i think were seeing even now that both sides both the german side and the russian side are kind of tiptoeing around this case a little bit weve heard on state t. V. Here one politician talking about how yes there has to be a kind of tit for tat response potential expulsions and so on but this wont affect our very good relations with germany lets go to the maximum. How is this likely to affect the relations between the 2 countries. Well germany has always walked very much of a tightrope walk when it came to russian relations so on the one hand off the enix ation of the crimea in 2014 germany has led the sanctions against russia but then of the same time it also in regards to the ukraine conflict has been take bringing russia and the ukraine to the table together with france to make the minsk agreement happen and this kind of tightrope is very much at the heart of the German Government so we have on the one hand the german chancellor Angela Merkel is very skeptical on russia and has been very skeptical for example the french approach is trying to bring russia back to the european table and on the other hand merkels Coalition Partner the s. P. D. Is very russia friendly in tradition and so were going to probably see also within germany a lot of debates how to act on this case further. That i must ask each nomination with boston thank you both. Take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world starting in the United States where the House Judiciary Committee is considering the evidence for possible grounds to impeach the president this comes a day after findings were released from being president from alleged abuse of power in his davids with ukraine the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said the evidence was overwhelming experts enough having to testify in the 2nd round of public hearings.

Right police in lebanon her fire tear gas to disperse demonstrators in the capital beirut people gathered to protest against the nomination of prominent a businessman samir to replace the countrys outgoing Prime Minister and to government demonstrations began 2 months ago. And nato leaders have started talks on the 2nd day of a meeting to mark the military alliance the 70th anniversary divisions over a number of issues have surfaced but today National Leaders adopted a joint statement that so to play down fears of disunity it said the organization had to look to the future together and that knowledge the challenges posed by chinas growing economic and military power the 1st day of the gathering tuesday so friction was a sharp differences emerged between the american and french leaders later secretary general stoltenberg said members had recommitted to be alliances core defense goals and agreed to share defense spending more evenly. Were there we stand together all for 1. 00 and 1. 00 for all all we meant to article 5 the collective defense clause or our alliance is our unplanned our law is further recognized the unprecedented progress we are making to achieve fairer burden sharing this is the 5th year of rising defense investment. In fact you did p. In canada and the 100 on 38000000000. 00 us dollars and by the end though 10. 00 to 24. 00 that figure rise to 400000000000. 00 us dollars this is president to. Get more on this from v. W. Got correspondent hoffman who joins us from london welcome us why did the secretary general necessary say rio optical 5 the hots of the Nato Alliance up until donald trump the u. S. President took office a couple years ago 3 years ago this was just a ritual because as you say its the heart of nato article 5 so you always recommit these leaders meetings or as at the nato summit as they are sometimes called as well but when donald trump called the Alliance Obsolete thats when everybody started getting nervous and more importance was giving to the affirmation of article of this article but this time you know it was a little different phil because it seems that dull child has a refiled or fallen for the 1st time interest really in nato defending the alliance saying that it was a very good thing so its getting back to sort of a sort of a ritual and even what you mentioned you know the increased spending which was very important to the secretary general back that also increased significantly the u. S. President who was never shy of criticizing his european allies for not spending enough even said this time that everything was on the right track the problems really were in different areas this time right now that this meeting was the 1st time china was discussed formally as a challenge one of the latest concerns. Thats true thats really the only new thing in this declaration Everything Else is this stuff we already know reaffirmation of plans that had already been made and. The stance they have taken towards china is ambivalent because they describe china as being a country of huge opportunities but also a few challenges and when they talk about challenges they mean the challenges in cyberspace pacifically the 5 g. Network that is under development in many European Countries and its because it has something to do with china because some of the worlds leading companies in establishing those networks are from china mainly who away and the americans specifically are warning their European Partners not to employ you away because theyre worried that china will take advantage of it stealing data stealing information and what have you had to the nato leaders reach a unified position on is incursion into Northern Syria. That was probably the point where we all thought here close to london that there would be you know that the most discussions and the most trouble because president after one of turkey had announced he would block for example the plans or the Strategic Plan to defend Eastern Europe if he didnt get more help in Northern Syria but the rest of the partners believe that he has invaded Northern Syria and dont agree with that move but the diplomats we talked to here off the record were surprised by saying this all went much more smoothly much more peacefully than we anticipated and even everyone agreed like i said with those plans we dont know if youve got something in anything in return thats something where the secretary general you back kept quiet about. The nato meeting thank you.
