1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: And it's got to Gavin Gray, a UK europe correspondent,

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,199
Speaker 1: Given Stam has just spoken sending some more fangits to Kata.

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: Yes for typhoon jets, but I'm afraid he's still being

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: accused widely of having completely misjudged this whole requirement to

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: put defenses into Cypress. Cypress is where Britain has an

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: raf based arif at Creteri, which had a drone attack

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: which damaged the runway earlier in the week. Now the

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: UK is sending a frigate a ship, but it won't

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 2: be ready until next week, and that means that it

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: won't get there for probably a week from now. Other

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: European nations, though, are very quickly jumping into this void Italy, France, Spain,

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: the Netherlands or sending naval assets Greece as well joining

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 2: in with anti drone materials, and frankly, many people think

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: Kirstarmer has been caught rather napping on this, plus the fact,

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: rather embarrassingly for him, the first flight, that was the

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: government chart flight out of the Middle East for people

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: who were stuck there, had been delayed for some engineering problems.

18
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: It has now taken off, but I think Sir kir

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: starm has got an uphill battle to convince people he's

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: doing the right thing.

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Spain Caroline Live at yesterday.

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 3: With respect to Spain, I think they heard the President's

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: message yesterday loud and clear, and it's my understanding over

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 3: the past several hours they've agreed to cooperate with the

25
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: US military, and so I know that the US military

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: is coordinating with their counterparts in Spain.

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: Now the Spanish maids something to say about that, haven't they?

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: They sure have. They've categorically rejected that. They said that

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: our opinion opposition has not changed at all. So is

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: this another misspeak from the Trump administration and it's spokespeople, Well,

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: Spain says it absolutely is. They're completely dismissing Caroline Levitt's

32
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: words there. Pedro Sanchez, the Prime Minister of Spain, has

33
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: been very quick to say no to war. This is

34
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: a disaster in the Middle East, it'll be a disaster

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: for the wider world. President Trump has had a real

36
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: go at him saying they're going to sever tize with Spain.

37
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: But incidentally, it's very interesting that Aransha ganzale is, the

38
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: former Foreign Minister of Spain saying, you know what is

39
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: interesting that Trump has attacked the British Prime Minister, the

40
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: Ukrainian president, Denmark's Metafredicson and now the Spanish Prime minister.

41
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: Why well, they've all got in common the fact they've

42
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: said no to him, and I think a great deal

43
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: of European sentiment now going the way that we need

44
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: to look after ourselves and not worry too much about

45
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: what Donald Trump is saying about our leaders.

46
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, an insult from Trump no longer carries the same weight,

47
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: does it. Appreciate your time? Gavin Grande, our UK europe correspondent.
