1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Kevin grane Are UK europe correspondent Gavin Goods, Morning, good

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: evening to you, hither Rod. Yeah, it's certainly going to

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: be an important meeting. It's the first Trump NATO summit

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen, and he's going to be delighted, I

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: think with what he sees because it looks like all

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: thirty two leaders are set to commit to spending five

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: percent of national output on defense and related infrastructure. At

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: least that is the hope, because there are some that

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: are going to really try and wriggle out of this.

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: Spain incidentally one of them. Spain spends very little of

11
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: its gross domestic product. It's at the bottom of the

12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: list when it comes to defense spending, and it's trying

13
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: to wiggle out, saying, well, it can't afford it. It'll

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: have to cut back on pensions and benefits as well.

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: But there's definitely pressure on Spain to get back in there,

16
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: and Belgium too, apparently sharing some wriggle room with that,

17
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: but also ringing Donald Trump's is or well not quite

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: because it was posted by Donald Trump is a private

19
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: message that the NATO Secretary General Mark Rutter has sent

20
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: him in a pre summit message lavishing praise on his

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: handling of the Western Alliance, and it says, and I quote,

22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,639
Speaker 1: you're flying into another big success in the Hague this evening.

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: It was not easy, but we got them all signed

24
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: up to five percent. He's congratulated Trump on his quote

25
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,639
Speaker 1: decisive action in Iran that was truly extraordinary in something

26
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: no one else dared to do. It makes us safer.

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: Asked whether he was embarrassed at this private message had

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: been made public, he said not at all. Other people

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: will be deeply embarrassed. I mean, you've got if you're

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: going to send the ticks to Donald Trump, you've got

31
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: to expect that it's gonna end up or potentially end

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: up on the public domain, don't you. So you can't

33
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: be too surprised. Hey, I love the story the Cinderella

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: krocking in the UK. Yeah, an amazing story. This so

35
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: a man who was basically riding on an e bike

36
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: suddenly snatched the phone out of somebody's hand in East

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: London on l like Gate Hill back in August of

38
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: last year. Now he was tackled by members of the public,

39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: having stolen the handset from the victim's hand and in

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: the struggle to get back on the bike, this man,

41
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: a twenty eight year old, lost a trainer one of

42
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: his shoes. Now he continued, however, wearing one shoe and

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: managed to get away. However, yes, you guessed it. DNA

44
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: analysis now looked at the single shoe, the so called

45
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: Cinderella shoe, and matched the DNA on it. They found

46
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: there was just enough DNA on the shoe. Found there

47
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: was just enough to match it to an existing profile

48
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: of a thief on the national database. And a twenty

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: eight year old man has now been found guilty of

50
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: that and he's now going to be sentenced in a

51
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: couple of months time. The forensic manager of the City

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: of London Police said, this really is a Cinderella story.

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: This slipper fitted our Cinderella and we produced a hit

54
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: to a man who has profile had previously been up

55
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: deloaded with those in criminal acts. Good good, it's good

56
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: to hear that one of them is finally being caught.

57
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for that. Kevin Grant, UK europe Correspondent.
