to go to munich, to the munich security conference, and make it very clear, as i do so again today here at nato's headquarters, that the united states is expressing strong support for nato even as we challenge nato and challenge our allies to evolve to the new and widening challenges and further meet their responsibilities in this ever changing, ever complicated world of threats. but with regard to the eu the president also directed me to come here to brussels and i had the great privilege of meeting with leaders of the european union throughout the morning and to express the desire of the united states to continue, continue cooperation and partnership with the european union. we respect the determination of the people of great britain as manifested in brexit and we respect the judgment of the peoples of europe in the european union and as i said today through many leaders we look forward to working across the channel with all parties in the years ahead on behalf of peace and prosperity. stoltenberg: i have heard the same thing, from secretaries mathis -- mathis and kelly. they have all

greatfew days after your speech in munich where you so clearly declared the strong commitment

referring to some statements made in munich just two days clearlyould like to say that the report of the death of the west has been greatly exaggerated. whoever wants to demolish that post westcipating in itsust know that defense we will remain determined to. a secondly, our security based on nato and the closest possible transatlantic corporation. we must work together to normalize the forms of this cooperation. some of them should indeed the improved but we should agree on one thing -- the idea of nato is not -- just like the value that they at its foundation -- they are not obsolete. let us discuss everything. starting with commitment. not only to strengthen our solidarity, in order to weaken it. sadly, we are counting as always on the past. on the united states' whole hearted and unequivocal support of the idea of a united europe. the world would be a decidedly were notce if europe united. americans know best what great value it is to be united and that becoming divided is the prelude to a fall. it is in the interest of us all to prevent the disintegration of the west. as for our

lyse doucet, bbc news, munich. earlier, lyse doucet spoke to former us secretary of state, madeleine albright, who's attending the munich conference. she asked her about concerns among policy—makers that the trump administration was not talking about shared values between the us and europe. i have to say, there has not been a discussion of values in the united states. and i am chairman of the board of the national democratic institute, that is based on the really common aspects of our basic western values, and so i do wish we would talk about them more. i'm glad that the americans are being asked those particular questions. we have the official administration representatives, and then there are members of congress here, and i think that those are issues that need to be brought up. you have been hearing reassuring statements here. but back home in washington, where you live, there is concern about what is being described as chaos in the white house. are you worried? well, iam, having been in two white houses, pres

you are joining us from the munich security conference. i want to begin by turning to something that the defense minister said she mentioned europe needs to do more to share the burden of defense. did it sound like it was regarding only nato, or is the european union looking for a new path? >> it is not usually -- mutually exclusive. i think the pat quinn be stronger cooperation among european and native allies within the nato context, to do more burden sharing, to sway american concerns that europe is not doing their fair share, and today reiterating that germany is prepared to spend more on defense. sarah: in the meantime, the word dominating the conference seems to be uncertainty. what have you seen and heard from participants so far? reporter: everybody is concerned with what path the donald trump administration will go down and uncertainty remains. defense secretary mattis gave a very brief address, did not take questions, and gave some general commitments to nato. but many were wanting to know about the modified commitment that he sa

also, thank you for setting the message on munich. we are in munich and i think we should start from there. you're right, one year ago we were here. we were together and there was a great moment of concern at the beginning because i had just a few days before blocked, changed, stopped, some syrian talks because there was major escalation on the military side and that was producing a feeling of lack of sign of hope. but like it often is in history, that produced also in every crisis, there is an opportunity, a wave of shock and the shock produced here in munich, the intention by that time john kerry and sergey lavrov to have a special meeting on the fringes of munich and we had the beginning of the issg, the beginning of the humanitarian task force, the beginning of the cessation of hostilities task force, we had a contact group of 22 countries and had even an operation of sanctions in u.n. and geneva to control a cease-fire. the cease-fire did hold. it was a miracle. well, it did hold, we had 75%, 65% of reduction of violence but it d

on saturday, in munich, you during your trip across europe in 1977, with your older brother, you found yourself at some point in west berlin. marveling at what you saw. and then crossing through checkpoint charlie only to see the shadow of repression hanging over people. have -- i had been living under the shadow for over 30 years. what i vividly remember from my own past is how after martial in was imposed in poland december 1981, president ronald reagan urged all americans to light a solidarity candle on christmas eve as he did himself. it is not difficult to imagine how this moving message of american solidarity to the repressed polish nation against the forces of tyranny. hopeow that helped bring and the encouragement not to give in. in your speech, you also highlighted the historical of some american and european leaders. .ncluding havel i was lucky to cooperate closely with them in difficult times. us, they all believed in the purpose of cooperation and solidarity between europe and the u.s. we cannot let their efforts go to waste. after today's talks, it will be easier for me to

, to go to munich, to the munich security conference, and make it very clear, as i do so again here today at nato's headquarters, that the united states is expressing strong support for naugto, even as we challenge nato and challenge our allies to evolve to the new and widening challenges and further meet their responsibilities in this ever-changing, ever-complicated world of threats. but with regard to the eu, the president also directed me to come to brussels, and i had the great privilege of meeting with leaders of the european union throughout the morning, and to express the desire of the united states to continue. continue cooperation in partnership with the european union. we respect the determination of the people of great britain, as manifested in brexit, and we respect the judgment of the peoples of europe in the european union. as i said today to many leaders, we look forward to working across the channel with all parties in the years ahead on behalf of peace and prosperity. >> i have heard exactly the same firm message from the president of the united states in two phone calls,

coming up on this programme: bayern munich add to arsenal's woes with a 5—1 champions league victory in germany. holders real madrid hit back to win their last 16 opening leg tie 3—1 against napoli. and jamaican sprinter nesta carter files an appeal to the court of arbitration for sport for a retrospective doping offence from the 2008 olympics in beijing. hello and welcome to the programme, where we start with two more opening leg ties from the last 16 of the uefa champions league. holders real madrid were one of the teams in action on wednesday as they continue their quest to retain the title but it was bayern munich who stole the show with a 5—1victory over arsenal in germany. arjen robben got the scoring under way with a lovely left footed curled effort. arsenal responded before laurent kolscielny was forced off injured but robert lewandowski scored and then two goals from, thiago in the space of seven minutes wrapped the match up before thomas muller added a fifth and arsene wenger was understandably downbeat after the match. the real problems we faced was after the third goa

tensions between saudi arabia in iran came to the fore munich. the saudi foreign minister called iran the main sponsor of terrorism in the world and said teheran was a destabilizing force in the middle east and accused it of wanting to destroy saudi arabia. he called on world powers to intervene. extendedars, we have gotten35 years we have tough and destruction in return. with a worlde increasing -- that enough pressure can be brought to bear in order to bring about a change in iran's behavior. ministerran's foreign mocked being put on notice in a tweet by president trump and said his country was focused on building, yes building, persian gulf alliances. let's get more with tracy alloway live from abu dhabi. give us some context on the comments. tracy: he basically said that tweeting had become "very fashionable." it was a lighthearted response about a serious subject. you will remember the thing that prompted donald's tweed from february 2 was this iranian ballistic missile test, and that resulted in fresh sanctions from the u.s.. continuesions

to go to munich to the munich security conference and make it very clear. as i do so here at nato's headquarters that the united states is expressing strong support for nato even as we challenge nato and challenge our allies to evolve to the new and widening challenges and further meet their responsibilities in this ever-changing, ever-complicated world of threats. but with regard to the e.u., the president also directed me to come here to brussels. i had the great privilege of meeting with leaders of the european union throughout the morning and to express the desire of the united states to continue cooperation and partnership with the european union. we respect the determination of the people of great britain as manifested in brex yit and we respect the judgment of the peoples of europe in the european union. and as i said today through many leaders we look forward to working across the channel with all parties in the years ahead on behalf of peace and prosperity. >> i have heard exactly the same firm message from the president of the united states in two

it will be important to hear what the secretary says to colleagues in munich. he has laid out the case that the europeans have to do more. i believed when i first took the job as a secretary of defense, europeans had to do more. so has secretary rumsfeld, secretary bob gates, we all have. because under the original vision of nato, 50% from the united states, 50% from our european friends. that has devolved to about 70-30%. or 75-25. so it needs to change. but the relevance of nato is critical, especially with russia pretty much a resurgent russia that has violated international norms, and with the other instability we see spreading throughout europe. so nato becomes more important than ever. jane: former u.s. defense secretary william cohen there. and from security issues are brought into the economy here at home, today donald trump was back in campaign mode at a rally in south carolina. appearing at a boeing plant, he praised the company for keeping jobs in the u.s. and urged others to do the same. president trump: when american workers win, america is a count

the 1963 munich security conference has played a role in international affairs. bringing together social leaders from both sides of the atlantic to promote peace and prosperity for our nations and our peoples. history will attest when united states and europe are peaceful and prosperous, we advance peace and prosperity of the entire world. the president asked me to be here today, to bring his greetings and a message. today on behalf of president trump, i bring you this assurance. the united states of america strongly supports nato and will be unwavering in our commitment to this transatlantic alliance. [applause] vice pres. pence: we have been faithful for generations. us as you keep faith with under president trump we will always keep faith with you. the fates of the united states and europe are intertwined. your success is our success. ultimately we walked into the future together. this is president trump's promise. we will stand with europe today and every day. we are bound by the same noble ideals, freedom, democracy, justice, the rule of law. so strong is ir

from munich, our chief onternational correspondent lyse doucet sent this report. nato exercises in poland. a show of strength to counter what many see as a growing threat from russia. massive deployment of us military might in europe underlines how america has been the predominant power in nato since the end of the second world war. now there's a us president who has called this alliance obsolete. so, with this munich forum, anticipation and anxiety over what message president trump's deputy would bring here. what we were most looking for were the messages coming out from the leading members of president trump's team, including vice president mike pence. everyone says they have been reassured by what he had to say about the transatlantic alliance, and the belief in nato. there's so much relief here about what you had to say. doesn't that make you worry that europe was worried about your commitment to the transatlantic alliance and to nato? i think president trump has made it clear that the united states stands strongly with the north atlantic alliance. we strongly

that is why we come to munich. year in and year out, to revitalize our common moral purpose, our belief that values are worth fighting for. in the final analysis, the arrival -- survival of the west is not as a material struggle. it is now, and has always been, a moral struggle. now more than ever, we must not forget this. during one of the darkest days of the early cold war, the great american novelist william fall for -- william faulkner delivered a short speech in stockholm upon receiving the nobel prize for literature. to accept the end of man," falconer said -- fa ulkner said, "i believe that man alone will prevail. not because he has an exhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, as you're incapable of compassion -- a spirit capable of compassion, and endurance.

so here in munich, a lot of talk about accelerating the fight against is, but a lot of worry that the right strategies are not in place. in other news: police and protestors have clashed in the ukrainian capital kiev ahead of a ceasefire between russian—backed rebels and government forces which comes into effect on monday. at least seven protestors were detained after ultra—nationalists gathered to back a blockade between the coal—producing separatist east and the rest of ukraine, which kiev has warned could cause nationwide power cuts and job losses. the international arms trade is now bigger that at any time since since the end of the cold war. a new report says global imports of major weapons have gone up by nearly 10% in the last four years. middle east and gulf states bought the most, while the us, russia and china were among the countries that sold the most weapons. new zealand's high court has ruled that the controversial internet entrepreneur kim dotcom is eligible for extradition to the united states over online piracy allegations. us prosecutors say he made millions of

let's get more from nic robertson who is in munich. nick, the u.s. president said he wants to see safe zones in syria. he wants states to pay for them. has there been any reaction to that there? >> reporter: that hasn't come up in the discussion. we have heard from the iranian foreign minister, the turkish foreign minister and we have just finished hearing from the saudi foreign minister. you get a sense with all of these country was a new administration in the white house are sort of laying out their positions so the white house can see an if you will appealing their positions to the white house. i get the sense from the mood here and the expectations is that no one expects isis to be wiped off the map this syria this year. there certainly doesn't seem to be expectation supported by the audience at least. that's all international diplomats from the middle east, europe and other countries as well. the specifics of how a syria cease-fire might come into place really haven't been discussed. although, there is this aspiration, of course, that there are

have: also in munich, john mccain, chairman of also in munich, john mccain, chairman of the senate armed services committee, said the white house is losing control. >> i think that the flynn issue, obviously, is something that is-- is-- shows that in many respects, this administration is in disarray, and they've got a lot of work to do. >> reporter: petraeus will meet with defense secretary james mattis in munich as the administration continues its search for flynn's replacement. scott, the president said today for the first time his acting national security adviser keith kellogg, already passed over sice, is now a contender for the position. >> pelley: major garrett traveling with the president in south carolina tonight. major, thanks. now, michael flynn was fired when it became clear that he lied to the vice president about contacts he had had with russia's ambassador to the u.s. flynn had talked to the ambassador about u.s. sanctions against russia before mr. trump was inaugurated, a potential violation of the law. jeff pegues has the new developments. >> reporter: law enforcement sou

so here in munich, a lot of talk about accelerating the fight against is, but a lot of worry that the right strategies are not in place. the white house has been trying to clarify remarks by president trump, in which he appeared to suggest sweden had suffered a recent security incident. none had actually taken place. mr trump himself has tweeted that he based his comments on a fox news report about rising crime and immigration. the confusion came from a rally he held in florida — where he spoke about security issues and terror attacks in germany and france. 0ur correspondent, laura bicker, reports. this is a us holiday weekend to celebrate past presidents. but, in new york and elsewhere, some decided to hold protests about the new one. it has been a difficult first month for donald trump. he took time out to step into the sunshine state and hold a rally with his supporters. this is firmer ground and more familiar. the president of the united states! he promised a new immigration order later this week to replace his controversial travel ban. but some of his reasoning caused more cont

this is the book end to a day that started with the vice president in munich reassuring europe and nato members, and we heard from german chancellor, angela merkel, specifically about media in response to questions about some of the comments we heard from president trump. let's listen to the chancellor here. >> translator: i think a free and independent press is of the essence. i have great respect for journalists. we, at least here in germany, have always done best when we show respect for each other, and when we show mutual respect, and freedom of the best is a pillar of democracy and that's something that i think we all accept. >> is this an important enough distinction that this would come up between the two leaders or is a statement from the german chancellor she is saying where she stands? >> it's more of a signal to president trump. we heard the same from senator mccain. there's a concern that president trump is not just in an adversarial relationship with the press, which we expect and in many ways we hope to have with any president, and that's part of the function of the media,

a strong sense of deja vu in munich. twice in the last six years, arsenal have come here and failed to reach the quarterfinals. and arjen robben has been doing this all his career. the problem is stopping him. a move from robert lewandowski allowed arsenal away back in. alexis sanchez found his way back in, and the gunners briefly dominated. but you have to take your chances. from 1—1 at half—time, things began to unravel. lewandowski scored one, and then set up tiago. the german champions were then very good. arsenal were simply second—best. no disgrace to lose here. this was bayern munich‘s 16th consecutive home and champions league win. the scoreline embarrassing for arsenal, and sadly, arsene wenger has seen it all before. real madrid came from behind to take a lead into the second leg of their last 16 tie with napoli. the italian side took the lead at the bernabeu through lorenzo insigne, who caught keeper keylor navas out of position. but, unlike their rivals barcelona, who lost heavily last night, real ral

just a few days after your great speech and munich where you so commitment cleared and the unwavering support of the united states to the transatlantic force. we welcome that because we see the storm coming.

we broadcast as the munich security conference gets underway, at what the conference chairman is referring to it as an historical inflection point, the most volatile period in his view since the second world war. a key aspect of that volatility is no doubt about the u.s. -- new doubt about the u.s. commitment to the international security order. how to interpret president trump's america first policy was a key issue as nato defense ministers met this week in brussels. many europeans fear the u.s. could be preparing to turn its a key issue as nato defense back on its traditional nato allies, and that washington's policy could play into the hands of russian president putin, and wind up inadvertently benefiting china. america first, a threat to the world order? that's the question posed by our title this week. we will pose it to three guests who have been following the subject very closely. matthew karnitschnig is the chief correspondent for the european issue of "politico," and he says, "europe is too weak and divided to fend for itself. it should do everything it can to safeguard the relati

nbc's lucy cavanaugh joins us now from munich. lucy, what were the biggest takeaways from his remarks this morning? >> reporter: hey, dara. as we say, this was vice president mike pence's first debut on the international arena. his first trip abroad, as vice president. and this was seen in many ways as an attempt to soothe the fears and the anxieties of our allies, in light of things that candidate trmp has said, calling nato obsolete, questioning the merits of the european union. the message from the vice president today, unequivocal that the u.s. is strongly in support of nato, that it is unwavering in its support for their transatlantic alliance. he did echo donald trump to some degree saying that it is important for all of the nato members to pay their fair share, if the alliance was to succeed. but he does not flag any indications that the u.s. would pull out. this is something that the european allies very much wanted to and needed to hear. but, of course, the big elephant in the room, so to speak, was russia. president trum

michael fallon live from the munich security conference. is a megadeal brewing in the consumer products business? kraft heinz targets unilever, but so far, unilever rejects the deal. it is not a quiet friday. we are 30 minutes into the 30 -- we are 30 minutes into the u.s. trading session. abigail: we have relatively decent declines. the dow is on pace for its worst decline for the month of february, very small, but this does stand out. we do have the three major averages -- dow, s&p 500 and nasdaq moderating. not looking at any record highs. six days, we have had intraday record highs. it is interesting to see that stocks are pulling up. we are looking at weekly gains by the s&p 500. longest winning streak since the middle of august. when we put this into the broader context of the wild action in d.c. and a lot of investors talking about complacency, when will we see a pullback? we have a great longer-term chart. it goes all the way back to 1992. these are the net percentage changes for 50 week highs. we have the downside and the upside. o

kasich is attending the munich security conference. governor kasich, thanks for joining us. i want to ask you, the conference there, a lot of world leaders, many others, what are they saying to you about president trump? >> well, the interesting thing is, jim, is what they're saying we can hear from the vice president, we can hear from general mattis, we can hear from general kelly but we're not sure about the president and it's vital that the administration be on the same page and there is question that in a time of crisis where will america be? and i think it's just critically important that all the signals coming out of the administration are solid and consistent in the fact that we all stand together in the western alliance, that we stand strong for nato. the president's people have said it but he needs to be heard in a more clear and in a more passionate way because despite all these people being here, i've been meeting with all these folks from all over the world, they say we're not sure. so it is really critical that they speak

because as we know, a lot of pressure to deliver a much—needed win following the defeat against bayern munich earlier this week. as for here at the moment, it is going to bea for here at the moment, it is going to be a fantastic occasion. incredible to think arsenal warmed up incredible to think arsenal warmed upfor incredible to think arsenal warmed up for tonight's match by playing bayern munich, the five—time european champions. as for sutton, they were playing guiseley in the national league, but whatever happens tonight, if lincoln have taught‘s something, and leicester last season, as we know, the impossible is sometimes possible. from gander green lane tonight, good night. let's bring you some of the top stories and mps have been debating whether president trump's proposed state visit should be stripped of the trappings of the state occasion in order to avoid causing embarrassment to the queen. the debate comes after a petition calling for the visit to be downgraded gained more than 1.8 million signatures. they are also considering an alternative petition, backed by almost 312,000
