and that goes to individual nations like sweden and finland and our military as well. but i think if you look at the long-term, they will, and my view is of they will continue to challenge what we are standing up for, the open, transparent, and demographic society. they do think, or putin think at that is not what they want to have. decadent we have a system compared to what he has. i was also thinking on the aircraft coming over yesterday about radio targeting. those guys were locked in the training camps for 11 months out of the year because they need to be prerepared for the game on te ice for nothing else -- if nothing elelse. there are bits and pieces missing in the behavior from russia, but i also think that we will see if not around the corner, so delma road, five-10 years from now, capabilities that we will like e to have that we don't necessarily have today. one o of the kind of capabilities that the region and sweden need develop to counter russia over that period you are talking about? supreme commander: we need to have the resources that span all services,

why would sweden let that happen. what happened sweden did it. time ran out and the biggest problem in this case is that julian assange continues to be detained. >> they could have charged him if they wanted to. that would have stopped the statue of limitations, sweden let it pass. >> the prosecutor would have wanted to question julian assange, he had been asking for that. first one, he's in sweden, and i can remind the viewers that the investigation, there was a second prosecutor i came and reinstated it. julian assange left the country. it raises the question of what sweden is doing in all this. they had an appointment to talk to it. in london, and it didn't happen. >> they had an appointment but never notified ecuador until two days before >>> britain filed an official comprint with ebbing wad -- complaint with ecuador having julian assange at the embassy. it's costing britain a lot of money to have place outside the embassy, is this a finality with no meaning. >> it's a complicated matter. a solution has been offered in sweden and the u.k., w

if sweden and the u.k. and ecuador in the united states and assange's been in the embassy for over three years. the situation is completely of president. but i think -- actually, the case is very simple. the reason it is simple is because assange has been offering a simple solution for nearly five years, and that is, one, question him. he has been saying that for years to the swedish prosecutor, while in sweden and then upon , to comethe u.k. question him. , -- amy: and these are around issues, allegations of sexual assault. in the case of the allegations of one woman, there were two women, one has been dropped entirely now. >> that's right. amy: and now a more serious assault isexual continuing, the inquiry is continuing, though he has not been charged. hasn't been charged. like i said, first, he has been asking to be questioned in the prosecutors firmly refused to do so. and second, he has been asking for civil promise from the u.k. and sweden, to promise to not to extradite him to the u.s. where he bases

germany and sweden are taking in large numbers. eastern europe and britain are taking a next to none. that is a problem. it is a bit like the eurozone crisis. where is the leadership? it takes forever. germany could be a great leader. germany is doing a fantastic job. you would think that germany would try to be more effective in getting france on board or getting britain to take a bit more. the eu is a mess with their policy on the refugees. they can barely agree to let 40,000 in the next two years. it is a bit of a joke, seeing the way that you is dropping the ball, like they did the first four years in the eurozone crisis. one can hope that you will get its act together faster -- that the eu will get its act together faster before the move does turn. peter: i would like to remind all of us, you guys and myself, the official figure is 1867 people lost their lives trying to get across the mediterranean in the first half of this year. the question at the top of the show was, do we care enough? if you are pedantic, you would be aski

the migrants themselves are trying to move on to get to the germanys and the swedens, where they feel they have a chance for a fair hearing. and by the same token, their countries in the interior have been pushing back. all the responsibility is for the countries on first arrival. in other words, where you set foot the country is supposed to examine your claim and take care of it. german and sweden say the system is wrong, it's not working, we have to start over and have an equitable sharing arrangements. and a lot are dragging their feet saying it's each country for themselves. >> what is going to be different about the meeting compared to the other, things that are happening over the past few months? >> it's not the first emergency meeting taking place. it's 2 weeks from now. we have an emergency we are faced with now. oftentimes what we see is a fait accompli. where the situation overstretches the bureaucratic slow motion movement of brussels. the example for this is in the last emergency meeting they were supposed to have agreed to locate 40,000 asylum seekers from italy and greec
