on the ground in ukraine. he tells the bbc: allies need to step up or risk the war being lost. and a major medical trial begins — to learn whether blood tests can spot the early signs of dementia. returning to one of our main stories this hour and a special ceremony has been held to mark the 75th anniversary of the nato alliance. as the war in ukraine continues, the alliance has agreed to start planning for a greater role in co—ordinating military aid to the country.foreign ministers — led by the alliance�*s secretary—general, jens stoltenberg — have met today to discuss how they can best support ukraine in the future. let's speak to xavier bettel, he is luxembourg's deputy prime minister and foreign minister. welcome to you and thank you for being with us. luxembourg was one of the founding members of nato back in 1949. what is it meant to your country being part of this alliance? safety. i grew up having never to think about being in danger and

having difficult neighbours. in our past that germany was a difficult neighbour and we built something together and when i realised and it was my worst nightmare as a politician i would have defended that we need to raise military expenses and to be stronger as a military union it, it was something i never planned when i started being prime ministerfor ten i never planned when i started being prime minister for ten years before, something i would have found but it's a reality we have now in our continent, a neighbour who thinks the power of strength is more important than international rules and so we need to be strong to be decisive and not to be weak. in 2022, luxembourg spent .62% of its gdp on defence, the lowest across nato countries. what are you don't try to meet the 2% target which i think your countryside you will need 2033? ., . j think your countryside you will need 2033? ., . g . think your countryside you will need 2033? ., . p . ., think your countryside you will need 2033? ., . . ., ., 2033? zackary? we tried to do it earlier. 2033? zackary? we tried to do it earlier- in _ 2033? zackary? we tried to do it earlier. in the _ 2033? zackary? we tried to do it earlier. in the last _ 2033? zackary? we tried to do it earlier. in the last ten _ 2033? zackary? we tried to do it earlier. in the last ten years - 2033? zackary? we tried to do it earlier. in the last ten years we i earlier. in the last ten years we did four times better than when i

started as prime minister. it's difficult. i have to tell you luxembourg is not the biggest country in than nato and the army is less than 1000 so we are looking at how we can have also intelligence expenses but also how another package would make the nato more predictable and it's something i would try to put cabinet members that luxembourg should join. i think is not charity, it's also security for all of us.— for all of us. earlier this year, former president _ for all of us. earlier this year, former president donald - for all of us. earlier this year, i former president donald trump for all of us. earlier this year, - former president donald trump said he would encourage russia to do whatever the hell they want to nato allies that failed to meet their defence spending guidelines. what was your reaction to that? i was prime minister, _ was your reaction to that? i was prime minister, working - was your reaction to that? i was prime minister, working with i was your reaction to that? i —" prime minister, working with donald trump forfour years and prime minister, working with donald trump for four years and i was president in this meeting and present here where it wasn't the easiest situation but i think it's important to show that it's a fair

share of expenses and is not only of the americans, i think the americans need europe but europe needs the americans as well and he was very upset to say that the americans were the only one paying and maybe it was a wake—up call. we needed all of us to congratulate him for a statement but was a wake—up call that in fact without having the situation we have today in russia that it is important also to invest in defence and believe me, one is the politics i would never think that i would say such a statement but nowadays if we want to come if sweden and finland became a member it's not because they were having meetings in brussels but because they feel safer now and that's the reality. and moldova and georgia doesn't see one at the moment. [30 moldova and georgia doesn't see one at the moment-— at the moment. do you lose sleep over thoughts _ at the moment. do you lose sleep over thoughts about _ at the moment. do you lose sleep over thoughts about whether - at the moment. do you lose sleep over thoughts about whether or i at the moment. do you lose sleep. over thoughts about whether or not donald trump should become president again later on this year's he could possibly pull the us out of the alliance? ., ., �* ~' possibly pull the us out of the alliance? ., ., �* ~ alliance? no, i don't think so. i don't alliance? no, i don't think so. i dontthink— alliance? no, i don't think so. i don't think there _ alliance? no, i don't think so. i don't think there is _ alliance? no, i don't think so. i don't think there is a _ alliance? no, i don't think so. i don't think there is a wish to i alliance? no, i don't think so. i| don't think there is a wish to get out of the alliance but donald trump

never said he wants to leave nato but he said he wants that there is a fair share of the burden and i think the wake—up call happened and it's in our interest also to have these 2% and we see that nearly we all have done it or are going to do it. ijust tell you that have done it or are going to do it. i just tell you that we started with a very low amount and we plan now to reach this 2% and as you said, 2033 is what we were trying to do. an army of less than 1000 people and donald trump, i want to see how we can have intelligence expenses in the interest of nato and the country but also in the interest of solidarity and now the idea of the insulting berg is the possibility that we have that luxembourg wants to be —— length sultan bur... thank you for being with us today.

analysis shows political action has helped a dramatic decline in the number of trees lost in the tropical forests of brazil and colombia, which is vital to tackling climate change. the study, from the university of maryland and the world resources institute says that the election of president lula da silva in brazil led to a 36% fall in logging in the brazilian amazon last year compared to 2022. however, rising tree losses in bolivia, nicaragua and other countries wiped out many of these gains. we can cross live to rod taylor, global director of the forests programme at the world resources institute. welcome to you and thanks for joining us. tell us more about the findings of the report. the joining us. tell us more about the findings of the report.— findings of the report. the report is a story about _ findings of the report. the report is a story about climate - is a story about climate change, political will and about the future economic options of people living in rainforests. the political will story, as you know, we have seen

dramatic decreases in deforestation in brazil and colombia and that links closely to new governments there who have taken decisive action to build intuitively and the climate change story is a good illustration of what is happening in bolivia where we saw massive fires this year driven in part by drier conditions, degraded forests that burn more easily and so on and finally there is the development challenge. people living in and around rainforests need future pathways to development that are consistent with having healthy rivers and forests around them. ., , ., ., ., them. how is that impacting? how are those countries _ them. how is that impacting? how are those countries that _ them. how is that impacting? how are those countries that are _ them. how is that impacting? how are those countries that are heavily - those countries that are heavily engaged in deforestation, what lessons are the learning from those countries that have managed to pull back from this? i countries that have managed to pull back from this?— back from this? i think ultimately it comes down _ back from this? i think ultimately it comes down to _ back from this? i think ultimately it comes down to political- back from this? i think ultimately it comes down to political will. back from this? i think ultimately| it comes down to political will and story in brazil does show what

and options that allow them to have their forests and find a future economic livelihoods. there's a lot of interesting experiment asian going around of what a forest effective economy can look like. is there another international support for these countries who rely on deforestation economically to supplement to replace this? that's the big challenge _ supplement to replace this? that's the big challenge of _ supplement to replace this? that's the big challenge of how— supplement to replace this? that's the big challenge of how to - supplement to replace this? that�*s the big challenge of how to support countries that are going to have to jump countries that are going to have to jump through the new regulations to be ready to meet them and to improve yields on the existing firms to take the pressure off the remaining areas. . , , the pressure off the remaining areas. ., , , ., areas. really interesting to get our areas. really interesting to get your thoughts _ areas. really interesting to get your thoughts and _ areas. really interesting to get your thoughts and thank - areas. really interesting to get your thoughts and thank you i areas. really interesting to get l your thoughts and thank you very much for being with us. this is bbc news.

the installation of new security scanners in major british airports has been delayed by up to a year. it means that passengers will still need to remove liquids and laptops from hand luggage this summer, and potentially for another 12 months. our transport correspondent katy austin explains. change is coming to airport security. new high tech scanners should eventually mean the end of the current liquids rules. at the moment, any liquids you take through in your hand luggage have to be no more than 100ml, and you have to take them out and put them in a plastic bag like this. with the new machines in place, they can all stay in your bag and you can also take through liquids that are up to two litres in size. there we go. laptops can stay in the bag as well. but some major airports won't have all their updated equipment installed by the most recent deadline, the 1st ofjune. the government has now granted extensions past that date, but no more than a year, where it thinks there's been

a genuinely good reason, like supply chain delays or construction work to cope with the huge weight of the scanners. it's considering fining any who don't meet their new deadlines. so as a general rule, the restrictions on what you can take in carry—on bags will stay the same for the time being. on friday, bbc breakfast asked the boss of manchester airport what people should expect there this summer. the vast majority of airports in the uk will still be in the process of switching out their scanners, just like we will be. so our message to passengers is please do come with your liquids in a liquid bag less than 100ml and make sure you get your laptop out. but the advice this summer is going to be check before you travel. experts say that will avoid delays. if passengers are well aware beforehand of what they can take, what they can't take, and then they can prepare appropriately before they go through security. and that is the responsibility, joint responsibility of the airport, the airline, but also passengers themselves. and even when the rules change in the uk, check what applies

at your destination airport so you don't get caught out coming home. katy austin, bbc news. let's speak to phil forster, managing director of teesside airport in the north east of england. high and good to see you. you have installed two of the scanners already. installed two of the scanners alread . , , ., ., already. yes, we started a government _ already. yes, we started a government trial - already. yes, we started a government trial and - already. yes, we started a government trial and we l already. yes, we started a i government trial and we had already. yes, we started a - government trial and we had them already. yes, we started a _ government trial and we had them in 2021 to support the government's roll—out of these and there we went fully operational from january 2023. how bigger processes it to install them? it’s how bigger processes it to install them? �* , . how bigger processes it to install them? , ,, how bigger processes it to install them? , them? it's a complicated process and we were fortunate _ them? it's a complicated process and we were fortunate that _ them? it's a complicated process and we were fortunate that we _ them? it's a complicated process and we were fortunate that we have - them? it's a complicated process and we were fortunate that we have got l we were fortunate that we have got brand—new owners in the airport and we want to do a complete terminal redeveloping programme which included moving are extending our security hole so we were able to fit that in as we were doing that and we do sympathise for the bigger airports because this is by no means an easy task for anyone to do, these are heavy machines, there are supply

to delay his forthcoming trial over alleged hush money paid to a pawn star — it's the first ever criminal trial of a former us president. in 2016, a lawyerfor mr trump, michael cohen, said he'd paid $130,000 to stormy daniels — to stop her from revealing an affair with him ten years previously. mr trump wanted a delay until the supreme court reviews his claim of presidential immunity in another criminal case. our washington reporter will vernon sent this update. this decision by the new york judge relates to the so called hush money case. so this is where mr trump is accused of falsifying business records over an alleged payout to an adult film actress back in 2016. that was in the final days of the presidential election campaign. and he is accused basically of trying to hide this payment, allegedly. now, mr trump argued that this case should be delayed whilst the us supreme court considers a separate legal question over whether mr trump enjoys immunity from prosecution over acts he took whilst in office. and that stems from a separate case,

which is the washington federal crimes case where mr trump is accused of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results. now, today, thejudge in new york, as we expected him to do, denied that request to postpone that trial once again. so that now clears clears the way, removes the final obstacle to the start of the first criminal prosecution of a former president. now, it could be the only case to go to trial before the november election. mr trump's legal strategy across all four of his criminal cases, and there are four of them, 88 criminal charges across four separate cases. his tactic has been to dismiss, delay and distract. so he's doing everything possible to ensure that none of those cases kick off before the november 2020 presidential election. now, legal experts say the reason he's doing that is because if he wins

the election, he could instruct his hand—picked attorney general. so the head of the department ofjustice in the us to dismiss most of those charges against him. so that's why he's trying to delay all of this. and to a large extent, he's been been pretty successful at doing that. so this hush money new york trial could be the only one possibly that actually starts before that crucial november election date. the man who's been called the first rock star of comedy, steve martin, is having his life celebrated in a major new documentary that's just had its world premiere in the us. in his heyday, in the 1970s, martin became one of the most financially successful stand—up comedians of all time. he then developed a career as one of hollywood's top movie stars. tom brook has been to meet him. my my name is steve martin. steve
