Worrying Nato split over priorities, Hagel warns

Outgoing US defence secretary Chuck Hagel has said he is worried about a potential division within Nato as countries in the north want to focus on the growing threat from Russia, while other alliance members in the south are more worried about the influx of foreign fighters from northern Africa.

In his final appearance at a Nato meeting in the post, Mr Hagel delivered a sobering message to the allies, saying they must be able to address all challenges on all fronts at the same time.
