Leaders will overshadow the song well take you live to london also coming up tonight activist grows it sells across the atlantic again with the climate morning she says drastic measures are needed to cut c o 2 emissions as she prepares to deliver her message to the un wind Climate Summit and an exemption from u. S. Sanctions for visits wayland baseball there is word tonight that the white house will well Major League Baseball players to once again head sell off season. Im bring it off to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world well we begin tonight with nato at 70 leaders of nato members are meeting in london seeking to paper over the cracks amid obvious divisions in the military ally thats right now those leaders are at Buckingham Palace for a reception. Hosted by the queen to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of nato it follows a very public spat between french president and u. S. President donald trump when those 2 leaders sat down together earlier today it was hard to predict how the meeting would go take a look. Would you like some nice isis fighters ok give them even you could take everyone you want. Not quite cordial combative tone pervaded the News Conference with u. S. President donald trump and his french counterpart of mine will mark hong at the nato meeting in london on tuesday trump sharply rebuked mccraw for saying in an interview with the magazine the economist last month that quote what we are currently experiencing is the brain death of nato. Its a very tough statement to make when you have such difficulty in the british you look at whats happened with the yellow vests you look at whats going on during certain parts of this season of the year and you just cant go around making statements like that its very disrespectful. Micron however did not back down that uses my statement we. Take the lead to be a lot of people and. Leaders seem to have differing visions of the role of nato but each date i want to write and frankly one of the benefits really believed is the United States would benefit the elite helping europe. What needs to be. Another of the alliances big players german chancellor Angela Merkel remains upbeat about nato with all of the differences here but of course well have to discuss them we have to talk about the future of nato and the Strategic Partnership im fairly optimistic about this meeting mr. Optimism alone however it will not be enough to bridge the divide within the alliance of. Our lets go now to our correspondent max often he joins us from london good evening to you max so what are we looking at here president s had they been able to iron out their differences. There would have been a lot of reasons to be mad at each other and have that differences and one of them for example european spending for defense donald trump is always criticized that the europeans arent doing enough or of course you mentioned it in that report alleged brain death of nato as you might have been called the french president called it but. We didnt talk so much about that it seemed more like a conciliatory meeting and the reason for that is that this is the celebration of the 75th anniversary of nato so it seems like most of the leaders here in spite of all the problems that nato has at the moment are saying ok lets not talk about this at least not now for this anniversary and you know max the u. S. President donald trump he has criticized nato a lot now he is claiming credit for what he says are reforms at nato is he justified in claiming credit. Hes especially taking credit for the increased spending by most of the allies in nato since he took office and the numbers are undeniable spending has gone up significantly and you know the official goal of nato is to have its members spend 2 percent of the g. D. P. On defense and in the beginning when Donald Trump Took Office there were only 3 countries that met that goal including the United States of america and now were at 9 countries so that is undeniable even though Many Alliance members have consistently criticized the way donald trump has done this the tone the black mainly as some call this off the record the numbers are there are stand by were going to come back to you in just a moment we want to take a look now at another point of contention and this nato summit that is turkeys military intervention in Northern Syria back in october turkish troops launched an offensive to clear kurdish fighters from the border area inside syria now that Drew International condemnation were now turkey wants to move refugees of syrias civil war into that reach. A turkish patrol unit in the Northern Syrian city of herat on the border with turkey this is where wants to resettle Syrian Refugees from turkey in a socalled safe zone as quickly as possible. The safe zone would stretch about 100 kilometers westward from ross sinai to. But the area lacks housing hospitals and schools so all is seeking money from the European Union to Fund Construction work something the representative of president karen wants a. K. P. Party in the Turkish Border town of jaylen p. R. Is keen to emphasise. They should support turkey so that all the refugees can return to their homeland and live good. Piece but there have been repeated explosions within the plant safe zone several people have been killed blames the kurdish y. P. Jean militia others say the socalled Islamic State is responsible. Kurds in the region are deeply skeptical about whether that zone should be regarded as safe. Relationship with the Current Situation the United Nations should really intervene. Many kurds make it clear that turkish troops are not welcome here greeting their tanks with a barrage of stones. Or lets go back to our correspondent max often in london. Turkey looks a lot like the black sheep in we know that its president to one met this evening with the leaders of britain germany and france in downing street for some of the belt turkeys military intervention in Northern Syria has there been any result from that. Turkey at least as a very different approach to doing things and that by the way is one of the reasons why a man or what i might call says that they may not necessarily have the same foundations anymore if they cant even agree on what is a terrorist and was not a terrorist so your definition of a black sheep would probably be shared by some of those and they dont Member States and thats why a lot of people were anticipating this meeting that took place in london today between a mentor and i called the french president Boris Johnson the u. K. Prime minister the german chancellor im going to macklin also president ever one of turkey but when im going to mecca came out after that meeting she was very pragmatic very im going to macro saying that this was a good start it was a good meeting they talked about fighting the socalled Islamic State which was still in the sense that he also this is the working together with the United Nations to take care of refugees in the area and that further steps would follow so not really much of criticism here towards president and one which is typical of him going to america because and that is the thinking behind it she knows that as soon as you criticize everyone heavily he just shuts down what he wants is to is to communicate she wants to find a solution somehow to convince him to stop what hes doing. You know makes if we put a sign for sake of the problems we have to also remember that the events there in london are meant to commemorate 70 years of nato is there real reason just celebrate this anniversary. It really depends who who you ask around i mean the alliance is still here after 70 years and that is a success in itself it makes it a successful alliance of course it has its ups and downs and its never been as challenged as now at least in recent years during the cold war of course the pressure there was pressure from the outside the common enemy of the soviet union and put everybody on the same page but its become more difficult. The world itself has become more difficult but still many would argue it is a successful alliance they have reformed themselves s. S. Will be in the last 5 years with their readiness plans for example on the eastern border of of the nato of the nato Member States but of course undeniably with there are so many problems from the south in syria from the east russia in cyber the cyber space from from china that its become more difficult to have this united front its more difficult to Work Together because the problems are multilayered and the allies arent necessarily in agreement on all those issues a correspondent max hoffman live in london tonights max thank you. Well heres some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the evidence for impeaching u. S. President donald trump for misconduct in office is quote over whelming thats the verdict of the final report on the house investigation into the u. S. President the reports findings support formal charges against the white house dismissed the report saying it failed to produce any evidence of wrongdoing germanys defense minister has made an unannounced visit to afghanistan on a great car about what hes also known as a k k says that natives mission to support afghan peace and stability should be extended beyond march of next year when it is scheduled to end.

All the teenage climate activists granted to has arrived in the portuguese capital lisbon and shes headed for the u. N. Climate summit in madrid and she was in the United States for climate protests she made the entire transatlantic crossing you may remember by boat had refused to fly back to europe because of the Carbon Footprint created by flying. The final moments of that nearly 3 week journey across the Atlantic Ocean from the United States to Lisbon Portugal great to look tired and happy to be back on dry land the 16 year old swede said she took the transatlantic voyage by boat to prove a point. Im not traveling like this because i want everyone to do so im doing this to sort of send the message that it is. If. It is impossible to live sustainable today and that means saying these become much easier to undo it arrives in europe as the uns cup 25 Climate Summit is in full swing representatives in delegates from some 200 countries have got that a majority spain to try and find a way to reduce the worlds emissions of Greenhouse Gases their arrival also coincided with the release of a bleak report from the World Meteorological organization predicting that the past decade will most likely be the hottest in recorded history. Many dont realize the power of the Popular Movement this may be unleashed. I think people on just making a fuss of angry kids. Should be meeting with activists in lisbon before making her way to the Climate Summit on friday. And to discuss that report from the world media wrong School Organization im joined here at the big table by professor. He is director at the institute of meteorology at the Free University here in berlin professor its good to see you this report that came out today what in your opinion is the most troubling about it. Should we be a lot more well the report also says apart from what we observe that there is mechanisms that could enhance that development that your county facing and there is not only the atmospheric temperature all people talk about but there is also for example the acidity of the oceans which may affect the marines life if you kill lots of species it could yes because if they are not adapted to that they cannot adapt like that quickly to that situation you are a meteorologist you deal with the weather do you think that science is as well as journalists are we doing a good job at educating the public about how whether climate and Climate Change or connected. Well im not quite sure that it is really optimal how how we are communicating things because there is the issue of likelihood that is greatly underestimated so in my opinion it is a very Good Development that we are now pushing politics to do something of the background of it is may be a chance that we had really extremely hot weather. In germany while the general global average temperature is on the rise and so the part where there was part says its not unexpected you know i mean it still is basically the world is getting hotter and the weather is getting more extreme and you know everyone likes to talk of and complain about the weather but they usually say you cant do anything about it is that is it true that when youre i mean have we reached a point where we have to do something to impact the weather in the climb well. Weather is what we have in the moment and the climate is the aggregation of all weather and the climate is changing so the likelihood of certain extreme weather which is most relevant of course to us is that is changing and so we are facing more extremes in certain aspects but of cause and others not code spells fate sample become less im likely. When weather gets warmer but with her going to present they cant. If you have. A different reference it changes of course i think most people will perceive the weather has become more extreme how confident are you that whats happening in madrid the paris climate agreement that those agreements are going to be successful at slowing down Climate Change is going to work well i think that the 1st steps now but there is the need of moss thats to come and the what is most important is that politics and able to people to follow climate neutral pathway and this is count lead not sufficiently down i think people want to do something about it but often then they do not feel there is ethic quit possibility to do that yeah i know i hear a lot of people saying they feel helpless maybe that they dont know what they could do. For the for university here in berlin professor we appreciate your time and insights tonight thank you thank you.
