Nato members agree to support each other if they come under attack. That’s the fundamental purpose of Nato, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, formed in the wake of World War II.

James Landale, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Diplomatic Correspondent, explains how Nato works and what challenges lie ahead for the organisation, with presenter Claire Graham.
