BBC World Service - World Update, NATO at 70

As NATO leaders meet in London, is the organisation fit for purpose?

President Macron has described the alliance as "brain dead" in an interview, and US commitment to the project is uncertain. So as NATO leaders meet in London, is the organisation still fit for purpose?

Also on the programme a major climate summit is beginning in Madrid. According to UN Secretary General António Guterres, "the point of no return is no longer over the horizon". And despite the decision of Joseph Muscat to stand down as prime minister of Malta, the Council of Europe's special rapporteur on the case of Daphne Caruana Galizia tells us that concerns still remain about corruption.
