is why we have witness agreement. >> last year you were asked whether sweden should look to join nato. you said you didn't believe it was the best way forward. is that still the case given what has happened? >> sweden works with all these questions. sweden are not alike countries. we have the same level of cooperation with nato. that means we developed the membership in the partnership. we also want to have a strong transalantic link. we work with bilateral agreement, bilateral corporation. that is one pillar in our strategy to have these corporations to upgrade our own military capability. we have support from 70% of the members of the parliament. >> info sharing is one area you highlight. when you talk about info sharing and sharing of not just intelligence but strategy documents does being part of nato help expand sweden's knowledge base on military affairs? >> >> i think there is a lot of knowledge about the security situation in the baltic sea. both sides have benefit. information sharing is important. >> when we return more with the >> welcome back to "defense news," now more wi

minister spell out again not least to reassure our european partners, our commitment to nato and our european partners who are now speaking somewhat ill of our decision last thursday, should be reminded that the uk is one of the main contributors to nato come as a firm supporter of european defense and security and that they should play a greater role in stepping up to contributing to europeans defense along with the americans and ourselves? so in all of this the wider perspective needs to be looked at, the u.s. imported single market at nato into fits of security of europe not least in particulaparticularly in regarde aggression of russia needs to be borne in mind very, very strongly. >> i want to thank him for his kind remarks. he's right our commitment to nato continues. i think is also right that our spending being 2% of our national output is now responsible for a very large share of the overall european commitment and we should be encouraging others to increase their spending. we need to make sure that our membership of nato continues and we are not disadvantaged by being in on

hoping the u.k. military assets will find their way into nato and bilateral channels working with the united states. in that sense from a military perspective, the special relationship should continue. laura: britain has turned its back on the european union. what makes you so confident it will not question the value of nato, another remote organization that takes up british funds? adm. stavridis: nato occupies a special place for three reasons. now, with the european union under scrutiny, -- under strain, nato is the only game in town and a security sense. the rise of russian adventurism in the east is well understood in the united kingdom. third, if we look at the waves of migration from the south, only nato has military capability to deal with that. for both practical and values-based perspectives, they be nato will continue to regarded in high esteem. laura: the brexit seemed to be field by fears of a migration and terrorism. how do you reassure the public at a time like this? we needvridis: first, to talk about our strategy. this has been lacking in a number of ways. in dealing w

i'm a former ambassador to nato. and they know what mr. trump is being reported as having said about nato. and i have staff person go back and tell me precisely what he did say about nato. and then i compared it with what the media and his opponents are saying he said about nato and there is a difference. and i laughed because back in 2003 or 4 or 5 i sent to president bush it's on rumsfeld.com my website, a memo saying that nato needs to be all these institutions that were created back in the truman era, iran, nato, the department of defense. central intelligence agency, the national security counsel. they all need to be updated. they were created at the end of world war ii at the twinning of the cold war. we ended the cold war and moved into the information age in the 21st century and they have not -- they have not been looked at to be brought up to date to deal with threats and issues and needs that exist today. even though they have served us well over the years, i do think that we need like a hoover commission, a group of people that sit down and really look at those things. the

the second strongest military in nato. we'll still be able to work with them in nato, but we won't have the british to be the tough-minded pragmatic voice within eu councils, on issues like do you continue sanctions against russia, and so, therefore, and we talked about this in berlin in a public forum on friday morning, the united states is going to have to seek deeper relationship with germany. germany, the dominant country in the european unionwoman aamerica el, that relationship i think is one that we'll have to build further in this administration and in the next. thank you very much. >> thank you, nick, and evelyn, thank you very much, and, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for being here. i'd like to also echo the importance of this report and certainly acknowledge my predecessor twice removed at nato, a former mentor and great friend to all of us who are privileged to have followed in his footsteps, and i would also like to underscore the work of jeff lightfoot in writing this report. jeff, thank you very much. it's -- your performance was extraordinary. so i think

. >> former national security adviser to president obama, james jones, and former nato ambassador under president george w. bush, nicolas burns, talked about the future of nato at an event at the atlantic council today. this is about an hour and 15 minutes. >> good afternoon, everyone. let's get started. i'm damon will son, the executive vice president of the atlantic council and delighted to welcome you here today for the launch of a very important report on nato. we're here four days after the british electorate decide the uk can -- the u.k. can would lead the european union, i think our community here at the atlantic council believes one thing is to certain. no matter what, our alliance will become more important and be the glue that helps keep us together across the atlantic, within europe, and a vehicle to help defend our way of lives. we're here today to talk about a report, row storing nato's power and purpose, that was heldly two great americans who serve on the atlantic council's boar, general jim jones and ambassador nick burnses. thank you for your leadership and service and

experts discussed the future of nato. the program hosted by the atlantic council included details from their report storing nato's power and purpose. it identified four strategic challenges, russia, the middle east, u.s. engagement policy and a weakened european union. >> good afternoon, everyone. with why don't we get started. i'm damon wilson, executive vice president of the atlantic council. i'm glited to welcome to y you today. we're here four days after the british electorate after the british decided to leave the eu. while we're trying to understand what means and what the implications are, i think our community here believes one thing is for certain that, no matter what our alliance will become more important. it will be the glue that helps keep us together both across the atlantic within europe and the vehicle to help defend our way of lives. so we're here today to talk about a report restoring nato's power and purpose that was led by two great americans who be on the atlantic council's board. general jim jones and ambassador nick burns. thank to you you both for your leadershi

from a collective european union but the purpose of nato was never to dissolve individual states into one that to provide them a venue for communication and cooperation. forward, that might be the more productive model for in the current incarnation, it gives greater risks than if promises security. i don't blame our british friends for having second thoughts of the project. thank you.

ground as possible. sending a strong message to the world of jee jihad. nato the north atlantic treaty association should be leading the cause not the kurds or some phantom coalition. they killed 130 human beings. the terrorist attacks in belgium 32. in turkey more than 40 people are dead. all three of those countries are members of nato. all three of those attacks are acts of war. article 5 in the nato charter says an attack on one country is an attack on all. so, why is president obama not advocating nato forces on the ground to kill the isis savages and protect suffering civilians who are desperate? again, why is he not promoting that strategy? the turkish border is just 50 miles away from the isis strong hold of raqqa, syria. it is long past time for all americans to understand that isis is not going to stop killing innocent people and you could be one of those innocent people it is true that no matter what action is taken against the jihadists terrorism will not stop. it's impossible to wipe it out entirely. it is not that difficult to run these savages out of their sanctuaries. b

aggression and deter any military moves against nato territory, over the past two year the united states and our nato allies have maintained a persistent rotational military presence on land, sea, and air, all along nato's eastern edge, the baltic state, poland, bulgaria. as we look toward the nato summit in warsaw this coming july, ally wills institutionalize a more sustained approach to deterrence, including by enhancing forward presence in the east to reduce response times to any aggression. to support this commitment, the president has requested $3.4 billion to fund the european reassurance initiative. with your support, these funds will be used to deploy an additional rotational armored brigade combat team to central and eastern europe and for prepositioning of combat equipment as well as additional trainers and exercises in europe. dr. carpenter will talk about this in detail. to press moscow to bring an end to violence in ukraine and implement its commitments under the minsk agreements, we have worked with the e.u., g-7 and other like minded groups to impose sanctions on ru

sure it splits apart, so the important part is how nato will continue to function together and also what signals there are for the eu generally. mark: secretary albright called the current wave of nationalism in europe "dangerous," and says the same trend brought about world wars one and two. global news 24 hours a day, in more than 120 countries. this is bloomberg. back to you. matt: a dramatic say in the u.k. parliament as david cameron addressed and debated lawmakers, rejecting calls for another brexit vote despite the dramatic market reaction around the globe. mr. cameron: turning to our economy, it's clear markets are volatile, some companies are considering their investments, and we know this will be far wem plain sailing, but should take confidence from the fact britain is ready to confront what the future holds for us from a position of strength. matt: mark joins us now from westminster. let me ask you about the breaking news we got, on the long-term credit rating of, sovereign credit rating of the u.k., cut by standard & poor's from aaa to aa. how do you expect lawmakers to

influence in eastern europe, the fallout could give a big boost to nato. we will explain next. >> a big day in america's election headquarters with hillary clinton and donald trump campaigning in key swing states. secretary clinton holding events in colorado, donald trump in pennsylvania gearing up for a policy speech on trade just hours from now as his campaign tries to hit the reset button on trump's controversial plan to ban muslims from entering the us. live fox coverage, mike emanuel with the clinton campaign in denver and blake berman in pennsylvania with the trump campaign. >> good morning from medicine, pennsylvania, the steel mill in the heart of steel country 25 miles southwest of pittsburgh. the backdrop of this trade speech a few hours from now later this afternoon, one which he is declaring american economic independence. we heard from trump over the past year he declares his candidacy, we focus on china as it relates to trade. he feels china and its leaders have taken advantage of the us and our leaders as it relates to trade. we expect him to call china, and bring cases a

we just heard with our two guests, former nato spleem ally commander and the dean of the fletcher law of school and diplomacy at tufts university and a veteran of the wars in iraq and afghanistan. admiral, let's begin with you. a very dire assessment from the cia director. yeah they may be making some gains against isis in syria and iraq but the global threat is intense including infiltrating people come hearing to the united states and causing terror attacks. do you agree with that assessment? >> i do, wolf. the more we squeeze in on them, the more they're going to want to imploy acy metric means of attacking us and keep the flow of recruits coming to them. so they get in a very bad downward spiral if they cannot broaden their attack geographically. so, unfortunately, i think we are going to see more of this. and whether it be home grown if you will, the orlando piece or operatives directly targeted to come in, we'll probably see more of both, unfortunately. >> congressman, how do you deal with the threat of isis trying to get people, infiltrate people to come here to launch terr

union but the purpose of nato was never to dissolve individual states into one that to provide them a venue for communication and cooperation. moving forward, that might be the more productive model for the eu, as then in the current incarnation, it gives greater risks than if promises security. i don't blame our british friends for having second thoughts of the project. thank you.

all, the u.k. is obviously a key nato ally. inside the alliance, they punch above their weight. we work closely across a range of security commitments around the world. we expect that partnership, that bilateral partnership will continue and will continue inside mayo. -- inside nato. i do not think there is a major concern there. i also think everyone has reason to expect, that even though the u.k. will move outside of the e.u., two things, it will take a while. two, there will be a lot of dialogue as they do that. we are going to be part of that conversation. we will not be part of the negotiations, but we will monitor this closely and stay in touch with our u.k. counterparts and the e.u. counterparts. to increase the level of communication throughout. we are not too worried about the fact that in security related issues, that the u.k. may not be at the table. they will be at the table and so many other multilateral fora that that is not a major concern. >> let's play what-if. we face the prospect of scotland holding a referendum on independence. northern ireland doing the same. i

undertaken. that leads fairly rapid ly to te creation of the nato alliance. and it turned out that they couldn't stand on their own right away. if we left immediately, the whole place was going to fall apart. so this leads very rapidly, again, to the advancement of u.s. reconstruction efforts in primarily western europe really epitomized in the marshal plan. both the marshal plan and nato have sort of the same fundamental goal. of course, there's concern about an actual soviet invasion of western europe. but what is really more significant is the american diagnosis that the europeans have lost confidence. the real threat is not soviet invasion. it's an internal european collapse. that might come as a result of concerns about security, hence the need for nato to stop the soviet and prop up the europeans and give them some self-confidence or as a result of an economic, social and political collapse, hence the need for the marshal plan to prop up the european states on that side. all of this stems from the very successful, very thoughtful american diagnosis of the causes of the great

operations? how are we aligning our capabilities with our nato allies? >> mr. wilson, thank you. before i answer your question, we also appreciate the great support from the subcommittee and agree that your staff -- the staff supporting that has been outstanding. they're very knowledgeable and helpful as we work together. the ability to integrate our coalition partners into our operations at u.s. cyber command is critical. we have broad latitude and authorities that have been granted to us for that partnership. they are actually primarily today with our partners, we are working and do communicate with nato. right now our focus has been our partners as well as there are some other partners that are really interested in how they actually create the capacity to have their versions of cyber command and to do, you know, military cyber operations in countries that are still, i think, at the verge of trying to decide whether they're going to take the same steps that we've taken. types of practical areas we work today with our coalition partners. one -- some members of the committee con

in the end, jack's absolutely right. we have a nato summit coming up in warsaw in the next week. turkey is a nato member nation, and i imagine this is going to be very high on the list of discussion points about how to deal with this increasing problem of domestic insecurity inside nato member nations. >> you want to pick up on that? what happens at that summit? >> a lot of stuff behind the scenes are going to amplify the relationships and i think there are going to be exercises and standard operating procedures that are going to be proposed and accepted that is -- that are going to draw turkey even more strongly into the nato military fold. what's really interesting about erdogan is one of the things that's motivating him in addition to a certain amount of megalomania, one of the reasons he's acted like he has politically, is that he's been playing to a domestic audience. once he secured his strength there which he has, he now feels he can do just about anything politically domestically. thankfully, there are parallel universes here. politics on the one side and there's not muc

. think of the long relationship we've had. think of our relationship at nato. britain will stay in nato but we don't want it to fracture britain or britain without scotland in the future. laura: is it time for america to look for a new ally that will be in the european union? >> it's true germany has been rising in power inside the european -- europe for a long time. if britain leaves the e.u., if that actually ends up happening, then we'll have to have a partner. it won't be the quality of our relationship with london but a partner with which we can work more seriously and i think that has to be germany. i was in berlin during the brexit vote. the germans are very reluctant to put themselves forward. they've never seen themselves as a global power, a military power the way britain still does. laura: the fact that germany isn't the military power. what would be lost if the u.s. transferred its diplomatic weight to germany as the e.u. power base? >> well, i think there's much to be gained from a stronger strategic partnership between berlin and washington. one of the interesting things t

should have nuclear weapons and questioning nato. donald trump firing back criticizing hillary clinton for voting in favor of intervening in libya, the invasion in iraq and use of a private e-mail server when she was secretary of state. clinton calls her vote over iraq and the use of the e-mail server mistakes. we'll get to all of that. but right now, there is breaking news out of los angeles. stand by. >> there this morning just after midnight, lapd had called the brooklyn park police department requesting assistance on a welfare check. they indicated that this was related to the recent ucla shooting. and they also indicated that the female that lived at this address in brooklyn park was on a hit list that they believe was created by the shooter in the ucla incident. brooklyn park officers responded to the 2400 block of pearson parkway at a residence and made a welfare check where they did locate an adult female found deceased from an apparent gunshot wound. subsequently homicide investigation is being conducted with the assistance of the county share rev's office and medical examiner

lawmakers about russia's military, it's relationship to nato and the country's political system. this is just over two hours. >> the foreign relations committee will come to order. we thank our witnesses for being here and look forward to their testimony. we're obviously here today to talk about russia and its role in the world. together our countries conquered the nazis, prevented proliferation of nuclear weapons in 1990's and fought against terrorists after 9/11. yet for most of modern history, americans and russians have found themselves at cross purposes. throughout the cold war we trained to obliterate each other. with the fall of the berlin wall, many argued that difficult days of confrontation were behind us. leaders like gorbachev and yeltsin worked to place russia on a path toward democracy and peaceful engagement with the rest of the world. reagan asked for the wall to be torn down. george w. bush had putin come to his ohm and obama sought to just to his home in texas and ando his home in texas obama sought to reset the relationship in a way that prioritized communication and c

whether to leave the european union or stay sovereign to the uk. what are the up reply cases for nato, arguably the most important defense and security alliance in which this country participates. among our guests, the heritage foundation's expert on matters uk. nigel gardner. and a lot of news to share with you tonight. president obama suffering a huge defeat in his efforts to offer amnesty to 11 million americans. the supreme court blocking the amnesty fiat. donald trump released a statement saying the 4-4 ruling blocked one of the most unconstitutional actions ever undertaken by a president. trump pushing back against critics who say he's lagging on fundraising. >> we are raising a lot of money. when you see that filing. that was for a very short period of time. it was when we barely started. we had a day yesterday, and we had a day the day before yesterday, and we are raising a lot of money. reporter: new reports trump has raised 11 million since tuesday. we'll be taking up the race for the white house. tony sayegh and car yankeery pit join us. benjamin hall in london. benjamin, w

competitor to nato. it is nato and the broader transatlantic alliance that guarantees -- it does not quake in its booth at the thought of a european army. it is afraid of american power in europe, afraid of nato power, and i believe that nato will be significantly strengthened with great britain outside of the european union. without a doubt, the united states needs to reassess the entire approach. the u.s. has many decades backed in european projects, this is a 1950's -- a very outdated -- and the united states needs to support economic freedom in europe. all of the things that the american people cherish and hold dear in their hearts, what is good for america is good for europe, which is certainly the view of my former boss, margaret thatcher. there have been a number of mischievous articles suggesting that margaret thatcher would be opposed to brexit today. i can say, based on my own conversations with the iron lady over the years, that were she alive today, she would be fighting tooth and nail for british sovereignty and supporting the british exit from the european union. she first wr

wanted it to happen. days before the vote, defense secretary ash carter stood at nato headquarters and called for the uk to stay put. >> we know the strategic value that unity and cohesion adds to our alliance. >> we feel the relationship will certainly continue. >> reporter: the opposition is not felt by all. >> we're seeing a potential for a reorganization within nato and a potential weakening of the security environment in europe. >> reporter: despite exiting the european union, the uk remains a member of nato. though its financial contribution to the military alliance could be at risk if its economy falters. >> today, as we face more instability and more uncertainty, nato is more important than ever as a platform for cooperation. >> reporter: european union and nato members are going to meet to discuss closer cooperation in issues like cyber and terrorism. on isis and fighting terror threats, britain and the u.s. still will share the most highly classified intelligence. >> that agreement is not going to be impacted by this in any way, shape or form. >> reporter: but the cia dir

remain one of our indispensable partners. our nato alliance will remain cornerstone of global security. in a few weeks we will be meeting in warsaw for the nato summit. jay: dr. steve billit at george washington university says there are geopolitical ramifications here as the u.k. pulling out of the e.u. could weaken the partnership. >> one guy who is really happy about this is vladimir putin. this makes europe look as though they are sort of fragile on the edges. and indeed they may be at this point. jay: we should note that the process of leaving the european union is not an easy one. it's expected to take england up to a year to disentangle itself from the e.u. we should also note there is a lot of talk about scotland having another rerun dumb itself to remove itself - itself from the u.k. and join the e.u. reporting live from northwest washington, jay korff, abc7 news. leon: thank you, jay. the world questioned u.k.'s decision but here, donald trump is embracing it. the republican presumptiveive presidential nominee call this would a declaration of independence. >> i see a parallel

. the british volters' decision to leave the european union will not change the uk's role in nato. that's what the head of nato said. before the vote he said a fragmented europe would create uncertainty a military commander says the pet could weaken nato when the need to stand touch russia. lea gabrielle has more. >> the shead of the u.s. army in europe said that solidarity between nato and the eu is important in countering russia, speaking to the bbc about a pock uk exit he said if the eu becomes unraveled there can't happen but be a knock-on effect for alliance also and said russian aggression in uk and syria threaten europe, including the tens of thousands thousandse fleeing to europe because the russian use of weapons in syria. >> we remain very confident that the alliance, that the core interests of the alliance will continue to be served, that great britain next uk, will be a continue -- continue to be a strong ally within the alliance and nato will continue to perform its very important function. >> britain is a lead nation in 2017 for nato leading a task force defend balti

celebrate their centennial anniversary in august. >>> and it's about 22 >>> coming up, nato ministries declare the future. war now includes the internet and all of cyberspace. what that means for international conflicts and those who have to fight them. >>> also, we'll show just how quick and easy it is to buy a gun like the one used in the orlando shooting massacre. this is "cbs this morning saturday." >>> two astronauts and a cosmonauts are back on solid ground this morning. soyuz capsule bringing the american, britain, and russian back to orthotouched down in the former soviet republic of kazakhstan. the trio spent 186 days aboard the international space station. >>> coming up, mo willems, writer and illustrator of classic books for kids. i got a chance to meet him and see how he makes some of those drawings. >>> then, "finding dori," it's not hard. the sequel is in theaters now. we'll talk about it. we'll be right back. this is "cbs this morning saturday." >>> our top story this half hour, the ease of buying a gun. while the majority of americans favor tighter gun laws, we learned
