Was what to wear to the big event where offers of help have been flooding in as our reporter Liz Bacon's been finding out to Tina Moore has always been a follower of fashion but never before has she required a ball gown and she needs something bespoke Thank goodness for seamstress Rachel talked till he responded to her calls for help she's got 10 days to complete something special something that's comfortable and glamorous at the same time unlike a normal dress if she was wearing an ordinary people dress she'd have a lot of bulk and in the 3rd to sit on which isn't that comfortable and can affect the status of the dress when it's all tucked in underneath her so you wear creatine it where the children the netting is just at the front of the dress rather than all the way around and it will still give her the shape and the look of the dress that she wants it will be much more comfortable for her to wear so we can someday Georgina will be at the Sports Personality of the year it will be a celebration of what she's contributed to the game. She set up a club in South Ossetia and continues to run it every week it's like a game of French bull for players who use chairs and while Georgina is there celebrating her club she'll also be looking out for a hero of her own a lot of people disagree and maybe Marius like my sporting idol because he's out all these injuries and he never gives up he just keeps going and I just love watching tennis my favorite sports hobby looking out for is in Scotland so I'm ready hoping for.

Countries came together with the aim of protecting Western Europe from the Soviet Union the original members included Britain Canada France Italy and the United States who provided most of the money the alliance was founded on a principle known as collective defense NATO member countries agree that if any one of them was attacked the others would come to help. The North Atlantic Treaty was signed with great fanfare in Washington in 1949 but then u.s. President Harry Truman told the assembled dignitaries the partnership would deter aggression and safeguard freedom if there is any evidence. It is there will. Be since then NATO has expanded to $29.00 member states with countries joining including Germany Spain and Turkey with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War is now focused on more diverse threats like terrorism and cyber security but some believe the organization has lost its way President macron of friends made headlines last month when he described NATO as brain dead with no clear focus about its long term goals. Are still the default NATO is a collective defense organization but against walked or against who who is our common enemy we need to clarify that u.s. President Donald Trump described the French comments as nasty but Mr Trump isn't exactly the biggest fan of NATO either he's previously called it obsolete and threatened to cut u.s. Funding unless European allies spend more on their own defense want to keep NATO I don't want them to pay I don't want to be taken advantage of we don't want to be the stupid people anymore Ok for 7 decades NATO has helped keep peace in Europe but behind the scenes a battle is brewing over the future of the most powerful military alliance in history.
