stoltenberg addressed both houses we saw the speaker nancy pelosi and vice president. no president trump is just should be read anything into that it was just not invited because he didn't need bases not to use his jurisdiction. well in the last years it was always these kind of events were always held at the level of state and heads of state and government this time around there are only foreign ministers and it does seem like if you look at the last years and if you remember the critical remarks in the outrage that was sparked by trump's critical remarks that right now it was very important for the nato ally an alliance to have some sort of like more. supportive tones and sounds coming from washington that for one reason certainly is announced the question why we only see foreign ministers here and for another reason why congress is uniting with both chambers behind the alliance so why those those warm words we have now we have with how the president president trump saying europeans must payroll rehab europe saying use use of you made of me make a very good point mr

stoltenberg also warned of the threat posed by an increasingly a sort of russia including a military build up in eastern europe. may feel house nor intention of deploying land based nuclear research in europe but many will always take the necessary steps to provide credible on the fictive the targets. so close to the cold war even as nato moves to confront a growing number of twenty first century threats. all right let's get some sports news now and it was a dramatic night of german soccer in the german cup quarter finals with byron munich just barely getting past second division club hide behind in a nine goal thriller one big reason byron's nicholas sooner was given a red card in the thirteenth minute all that made it a bit easier for hiding himes number nine over a glass of he managed three goals on the night and byron's robert lewandowski scored twice including the penalty kick winner in the eighty fourth minute and biron slipped into the semi finals out oh as you may know that was not the first time robert scored the game deciding goal in a big match today he's switching gears f

stoltenberg's apoach is to praise him for adding urgency to what is a realssue, that many not meetings a t-- lup to meetir targets, and now there's millions more so stoltenbergcr its trump for that in this shows the strength of the alliance. but leaders are concerned about mr. trump's scathing critia:sms. lahat does it say that jens stoltenberg has been invited to address a joint session of congress by lawmakers? do they see nato differently to the president? barbara: certainly completely different from the president, and it is a bipartisan view. there is orthodoxy on the hill that americans are stronger in nato than outside of it and ere is a concern that th president just does't get that. i was in a committee meeting ost week when the secreta state was grilled by lawmakers on the issue and they were clearly quite concerned, and one of them raed deep concerns he heard from european officials. laura: president trump has called members o nato delinquents and once said the alliance was obsolete. he walked that back. what impact is that having? barbara: this issue of money has dmbeen with

marcus i want to talk about nato and i'm going to use the words of nato from the nato secretary general stoltenberg and he addressed congress last week it was a real spectacle and i'm going to ask you and deem it to reflect upon it so let's go to this. we do all this not to provoke a conflict but to prevent complet and to preserve peace not to fight but to deter not to attack but to defend how do we act to that markets go ahead. well nato is an offensive criminal and degenerate organization that is the root cause today of instability in the poconos and in eastern europe in essence way find in eight hundred you find instability and societal degeneration the americans have to use nato you over the last thirty or so years to achieve global dominance and they continue to use nato not just to maintain their global dominance but to end the hearts that global dominance and who has nato works with over the last three decades or so in order to achieve the objectives set before it i am erica well nato has worked with organized crime extremists and terrorists they bombed nato bombed serbia for seventy eight d

later secretary-general jensen stoltenberg said the alliance is not seeking a new arms race or a cold war with russia but he called for greater efforts to terence and for member countries to increase their defense spending he was addressing a joint meeting of both chambers of the u.s. congress to mark a nato seventieth anniversary at the entrance to the nato headquarters in belgium that ought to monuments wong a piece of the berlin wall. this signed to keep people in and ideas out it's faint the other monument is a twisted steel beam from the north tower or the world trade center memorial to the ordinary people going about their business on an ordinary day when the unthinkable happened a memorial to the two thousand nine hundred seventy seven people who lost their lives on nine eleven a reminder. almost all laws stood we do not that states in its hour of. i will take a closer look at young stolberg speech with the doctor's washington bureau chief of . the capitol building welcome how did his words go down. i think they went down very well here in the joint session of congress he got a

joining me now, nato secretary-general jens stoltenberg. welcome, sir. >> thank you so much. >> let me ask you about a report that was presented by douglas lilu in which saying after visiting nato countries across europe, he came to the conclusion -- and this is part of a study -- he came to the conclusion that the single greatest challenge to nato is the sense that the president of the united states is not committed to the alliance. >> well, president trump has stated again and again that he is a strong supporter of nato. he did that again this week from the white house. he did that in the "state of the union" speech, and he did that when he met all the other nato leaders at the nato summit in brussels last july. and this commitment to nato is underpinned by actions, because opposite to what many people believe, the united states is not reducing their presence in europe, but actually, united states is increasing their military presence in europe. we have more troops, more exercises, more prepositioned equipment. so, united states is commit

stoltenberg also warned of the threat posed by an increasingly a sort of russia including a military buildup in eastern europe. nato house no intention of deploying land based nuclear research in europe but nato will always take the necessary steps to provide credible and affective the terrorists. echoes of the cold war even as nato moves to confront a growing number of twenty first century threats. on g.w. as terry scholtz is covering that story for us and she joins us now from brussels so terry we just heard quite a lot of applause there for the nato secretary general speech to congress so how does that contributed to the mood for today's meeting and commemorations. i think that this first groundbreaking speech by a nato secretary general to both houses of congress probably set the meeting on a really confident and buoyant mood it was the best speech i've ever seen young stolzenberg given i've seen plenty of those he was extremely dynamic he was human he was emotional and of course he was in a friendly crowd everyone knows that congress is very much a supporter of nato a counterbal

preparing for military exercise and would have missed the stoltenberg and are going to do it if they took us argument always is that they're projecting stability is protecting stability they are there they have a very clear way of project instability they promise to force the way for ukrainian ships to the hours of sea despite the russians religio interest as nato has in that same hostile sea. is not a deep sea you know all these small vessels can enter it actually there is a breach connecting cranio to the rest of russia so the nato ships if they want to force their way from from there they will have to pass under the bridge you know we've been very very ridges as a geopolitical. region to russia the reason why it was built is very simple the ukrainian government several times allowed electricity to be caught crania despite a contract between crimea and ukraine on you know delivered an addict research into crimea in the soviet times the whole energy system was unified so these are just two examples that are the examples in the lens of the me let me go back to stoltenberg words here

nato part to buttress well that was mr stoltenberg answering a question for me earlier on he's actually speaking as i say now about some of the things that have been discussed in the last couple of hours here one of those is afghanistan he said it's too early to tell whether the talks between the u.s. and the taliban will come to a situation where we'll have peace in afghanistan if those talks have been taking place in doha been taking place very much with the u.s. in the lead and the rest of the nato partners kept in the dark so i'm sure barring the scenes here at this meeting of all the nato countries they've been asking for a few more details of exactly what's been going on in those talks clearly james i mean just looking at future because that's kind of what they're discussing as well there is a kind of a nato stress test going on in different locations to do with different aspects of its relationship with its member states and with other countries is need to kind of thinking to yourself well before what's the purpose of us and how do we reinvent ourselves and not play a game of cat
