let s get down to business. as promised, we have more for you on the nato summit that will be getting under way in a few hours time. where, as you ve been hearing, finland and sweden have joined the alliance after turkey dropped its opposition against their membership. so, two of the hot topics at the summit are deciding whether russia or china is the biggest threat to world stability currently, and how to share the combined costs of defence security. members are expected to meet the nato target of spending 2% of gross domestic product on defence. the uk presently spends 2.1% of its gdp on security, but there have been calls for an increase after russia s invasion of ukraine. michael rowe is vice president of aerospace and defence at frost & sullivan. good morning to you, michael. first of all, finland, sweden joining nato. what does that mean in money terms? good morning- mean in money terms? good morning. when mean in money terms? good morning. when you - mean in money
toward securing a conviction for the individual. our detectives, agents, deputies, everybody standing before you, will work this tirelessly for as long as it needs to go, and it s done by a person, again, who does not live in our community who brought this kind of hate to our very close knit buffalo community. we will not tolerate this. we will stand tall against it and rebound against it and show how strong we are and all the members of our police department, the fbi, the state police will continue to fight hate on a daily basis. police say not only was the suspected gunman heavily arm but also wore tactical gear as he live streamed the shooting before surrendering. one witness described what he saw. it took the police about two minutes. a minute and thirty-seconds, actually. that was pretty much it. it took them about two minutes. they got here and they stood and watched him. i thought they were going to shoot him, but they didn t shoot him, but yeah. like i said, he go
at the foot of the brooklyn bridge. this is the very first wave of demonstrators. this is a live picture of protesters who began on the brooklyn side, marching over the brooklyn bridge, now mere yards from setting foot on the manhattan side of the bridge. there was a powerful moment 30 minutes ago when we captured a second pro-choice protest that was brooklyn-bound, a powerful moment when there were demonstrations on both sides of the bridge standing in solidarity here. nypd has been basically clearing the way for these demonstrators to be able to peacefully march over the brooklyn bridge and essentially take over the lanes of traffic that are usually dedicated to vehicle traffic. so again, as you take these pictures in here, it s definitely an impressive size crowd that began their march not just against that leaked memorandum from the supreme court a little under two weeks ago, but also, according to one supporter, one man from queens who told me, this is also an effort to
a very warm welcome to the programme. breathing life back into the high street that s expected to be one of the focuses of the queens speech later today as the uk government promises to rid britain s high streets of derelict shopfronts and help to restore neighbourhood pride. more money will be given to local authorities and extra powers will enable councils to force landlords to rent out empty shops. the plans are also set to include the ability to make pavement cafes a permanent part of the town centre landscape. joining me now is andrew goodacre, ceo, british independent retailers association. how far will this go to reviving high street? we reviving high-street? we welcome reviving high-street? we welcome a reviving high-street? we welcome a focus - reviving high street? - welcome a focus of regenerating high street, solving the problem of renting properties. they destroy the image of high street and make it seem as if it is not successful so that does need to be
This week. Food, glorious food. Fake kippers and burgers. We are in the mood for pink herbs and green motors. This is salad, grown the Old Fashioned way. You know, in shipping containers, under led lights, without soil, in an optimised water and nutrient mix. As farmer spock called it, good old hydroponics. In all seriousness, its been suggested that the type of intense farming going on here at local roots in los angeles could help solve the worlds Food Problems in years to come. Transport costs can be reduced by growing plants wherever they are needed, even in areas of famine where the land and climate are too harsh. You get higher volumes and many more crop cycles during the year, too. Lettuce can be grown in 30 days instead of up to 90 outdoors, and a new crop can be grown immediately. All in all, one of these containers yields the same as five acres of land over the course of a year. Its very similar to the Strawberry Farm that we saw in paris in the spring and in Miyagi Injapan in
