1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: Europe looks in full melt down after jd Vance rolls

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: into town, told them the issue was not the Chinese

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: or the Russians, but the locals who were sick of

4
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: not being heard. And oh, by the way, Ukraine can

5
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: be at the peace talks, but Europe can't. Emmanuel Macaren

6
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: at this point apoplectic cause an emergency summit that's teed

7
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: up for tomorrow. Poland's TVP World Chief political correspondent Aaron

8
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: Darmond's with us are in very good morning to you.

9
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: Good morning mate, you were in the room.

10
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: Did it feel as dramatic as it felt from the

11
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: side of the world.

12
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 3: Let me tell you a pen could drop in that

13
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 3: room as Jodie Vance gave that address. I mean European leaders,

14
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 3: it would be fair to say they didn't expect an

15
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 3: easy ride, but boy, oh boy, I think they were

16
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 3: shocked by the fact that he didn't focus on Ukraine,

17
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 3: he didn't mention defense spending, all the things that the

18
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 3: Munich Security Conference has been renowned for. Instead, he obviously

19
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 3: lambastad the continent's democracies, and given the tone and tenor

20
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: of what he told leaders in Munich, well we're in

21
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: Paris now because they're convening an emergency sum It's fair

22
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: to say Europe feels like.

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: It's been slapped in the face.

24
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: And do they have and what are they going to

25
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: achieve at this emergency some of the next twenty four hours,

26
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: apart from a lot of hot air and talk.

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: Well, I think the difference here with this meeting, and

28
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: have covered many a political summit, is that these politicians

29
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: they genuinely don't know what they're going to do next.

30
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: They have to figure something out. I mean President Emanuel

31
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: mccahey was the one to now convene this summit in Paris.

32
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 2: He wanted to play kingmaker when it comes to Ukraine.

33
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: I was here in Paris and December when he got

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: Trump and Zelenski in the same room a house, and

35
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: that is a real opportunity to test his political muscle.

36
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 4: Has diplomatic muscle, even as his own government falls apart

37
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 4: around him. But forget that, I mean America, they've torn

38
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: up the rue books, they're phoned in Potin, they're now

39
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 4: talking about meetings directly with Russia in Saudi Arabia. So

40
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 4: this meeting they will need to come up with some

41
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 4: ideas and we'll get some answers well tomorrow night.

42
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: We will stay in touch. Aaron appreciator very much, Aaron Darmond,
