00:00We're European leaders gathering here in Paris on Monday. Two key themes on the agenda for
00:08their summits. Collective security, how they are going to likely have to spend more money
00:14on defence, increase the size of their armed forces and take more responsibility for collective
00:19security because in the wake of the changing politics from the United States, the Trump
00:25administration likely to reform the guarantor of security, that role that the US has been
00:32playing as the backstop to Europe's defence for a century now, withdrawing and reducing
00:38that support, so Europe having to discuss that. And also for the leaders, Ukraine, how
00:43to support the ongoing war effort potentially with boots on the ground in the form of British
00:49and French and other European armed forces, sending in peacekeepers if and when there
00:54is a peace agreement signed between Kiev and Moscow.
