Good morning and welcome from hertfordshire, where nato s 29 leaders are meeting today at this luxury hotel, in the countryside outside watford, well away from any protestors. This year, it s the 70th birthday of the alliance but there ve been more arguments than celebrations. President macron of france has described nato as in response to that, President Trump said yesterday that such remarks are dangerous, disrespectful and nasty. As he arrived this morning, the host borisjohnson tried to heal the divisions by evoking the three musketeers and saying the alliance reason. The reason nato is so successful and provides peace and security for 29 countries, 1 billion people it is the simple concept of safety in numbers. At the heart of it is a pledge that we will come to one anothers defence, all for one, one for all, that is the core of the article 5 nato security guarantee, and it works. It provides peace and prosperity for hundreds of millions of people. But we cannot be complacent and that is why we in the uk are investing 2 of ourgdp in is why we in the uk are investing 2 of our gdp in defence and we will continue to do that and its why we are increasing our spending on defence, and its also why the uk is doing more than any other nato player for the Readiness Initiative and we are contributing an armoured brigade, two fighter squadrons with fa st brigade, two fighter squadrons with fastjet brigade, two fighter squadrons with fast jet aircraft and six major major warships including our new aircraft carriers. And we will be discussing the Readiness Initiative today as well as all the other ways in which we propose to take nato forward to develop the alliance and to combat new threats, particularly in the spheres of cyber space and space itself. Thank you very much. Why are you being avoiding photographic donald trump out here . I will be photographed with every possible leader with nato and we are having a very successful meeting. Rather quiet meeting with him last night. How did that go . We had a very good meeting and we discussed, as you can imagine, we discuss the future of nato, we discussed what is going on in syria and various other security matters. You are talking about the rocklike unity of nato today, but actually, in reality, Member States are falling out over the turkish actions in syria. We actually had a very good discussion about that yesterday afternoon and clearly its very important that the alliance stays together, but there is far, far more that unites us than divides us. I think one thing that every leader here is absolutely resolved on, and that is the vital importance of nato for our collective security. Thanks a lot. That was Boris Johnson, that was borisjohnson, the host of the summit. And we think President Trumps helicopter is in the air and about to land, i think that is one of the advance helicopters, actually but President Trump obviously a key figure at this nato summit and once described nato as obsolete but he has been trading some of the other Member States who he does not think are paying enough money into the alliance and on defence spending, saying that 2 has to be what Member States pay and only about eight or nine members are paying the gdp on defence spending. Just to say, at the Buckingham Palace reception last night for the late toledo is the canadian prime Ministerjustin Trudeau the french president Emmanuel Macron and Boris Johnson were caught on camera seemingly gossiping as Princess Anne stands by. While nobody mentions President Trump by name, they appear to be talking about an impromptu press conference, as they discussed why the french president was late. Quite a revealing moment. With me now is our World Affairs correspondent richard galpin. I suppose, richard, isuppose, richard, weve i suppose, richard, weve been talking about the arguments, the divisions, the cracks within nato but perhaps in a sense that rather gossipy bit of chitchat at Buckingham Palace and h the divisions. I think the hope that it had been solved with the spat between Emmanuel Macron and trump tearing chunks out of each other and the hope was that would all be over now the summit had started and its not looking like that. We can just see president erdogan of turkey there, and they are central to the divisions because of the action in Northern Syria. Nato Member States launching unilateral action in North Eastern syria, obviously that isa North Eastern syria, obviously that is a huge worry and on top of that, turkey has brought Russian Missiles, a very advanced defence system, and that is extraordinary for nato and that is extraordinary for nato and that is what president macron has been really worried about, hes talked about the brain death of nato, and if that is the context he is talking about, that nato has not been looking at this huge strategic issue of which a nato member is part, so why he has got so agitated and gone so aggressively before the summit started. And turkey wants nato to condemn the kurds that it is fighting in syria as a terrorist, and president macron is saying, hang on, these are the guys we were Standing Shoulder to shoulder with when we were fighting the Islamic State. Yes, the irony of it and it was President Trump who enable that offensive to go ahead in the first place, for turkey to launch the offensive because he announced the us was withdrawing its troops from the region which gave the green light for turkey to launch this offensive, so it is so mixed up. Its really quite an extraordinary situation for nato Member States to be involved in. We are calling this a summitand be involved in. We are calling this a summit and we are here at this luxury hotel in hertfordshire, in the countryside, 300 acres and im sure President Trump and the other leaders will enjoy the splendour and blue skies, although it is very cold. But its not a summit in the sense that theyre only here for about three hours and they will talk about three hours and they will talk about four minutes each. At the very least it is a very slimmed down summit. Normally summits can go on for days and days and they can be very significant events but three hours, really, what can they actually achieve within that time . Its difficult to see there will be any major breakthroughs but the emphasis will be about healing the rift. That would be a good outcome from this nato summit, but actually we do have, and we do not know if it is for sure but there is a proposed d raft is for sure but there is a proposed draft declaration already circulating and one of the first things they are talking about is saying that they are determined to make sure that the costs are spread evenly across all the nato Member States and that is absolutely huge. Its been a massive, massive issue. The us are saying they are doing the heavy lifting. It is time they paid more of their dues which is 2 of gdp, and its amazing, 29 Member States and so far only nine are compliant and this is what donald trump has been calling out for several years. And there has been some success. Several years. And there has been some success. The nato secretary general has said they have moved significantly more money, billions, actually, has been squeezed out of the other Member States, so that is perhaps a positive that things are moving ahead with the finances. Mr trump will be pleased with that. We are told that his helicopter, marine 0ne, are told that his helicopter, marine one, is are told that his helicopter, marine 0ne, isjusta are told that his helicopter, marine 0ne, isjust a minute are told that his helicopter, marine one, is just a minute away and we will show you that arriving on bbc news. He kicked everything off yesterday with a broadside, really against Emmanuel Macron of france to underline the cracks and divisions saying that he was nasty and disrespectful by calling nato brain dead. A lot of mud slinging in this nato conference. A huge amount, and what he said goes back some time to last month, the interview with the economist magazine where he made the statement and i think maybe people thought he has made his point and that wont be brought up again at the nato summit, but he has stood behind it and he had a meeting with trump and immediately stood up and said all these things. Saying that this is what he believes in it was quite a shock that that would then be aired immediately. In terms of the kind of choreography of this summit it has been very tricky certainly yesterday. They have a lot of other things to talk about, wider issues and where nato goes next. This was an alliance formed way back in1949, this was an alliance formed way back ini949, and this was an alliance formed way back in 1949, and there is, i think, Donald Trumps marine 0ne just coming into the blue sky there over watford. A very cold day, but a Beautiful Day here in hertfordshire. Yes, talking about the other challenges that the old alliance faces, rising military power in china, terrorism, cyber warfare, there is a long agenda potentially. Yes, and china, its the first time its ever been discussed as a nato summit, the rise of china and it has the second largest defence budget in the second largest defence budget in the world and has really been modernising its military and nato leaders obviously believe that they need to look at this and to what extent it remains a risk and also the idea that they will go into space, putting it that way, that space, putting it that way, that space becomes an operational domain and as faras space becomes an operational domain and as far as we understand it that is about protecting the satellite system because there is a lot of satellites up therefore nato and communication and navigation are absolutely crucial, and if those satellites could be hacked or brought down it could have enormous consequences if there were to be a flare up in tensions. Consequences if there were to be a flareup in tensions. Nato is an alliance that has grown, 29 members now and there will be 30 with North Macedonia. But the usa, and there is the president s helicopter, marine 0ne. It is the huge power at the centre of nato and i think its defence spending is twice every year what all of the rest of the nato countries spend on defence and so it is the linchpin of nato, but at the same time President Trump at one stage described it as obsolete. Yes, but he said the exact opposite yesterday, so he seems to have com pletely yesterday, so he seems to have completely flipped around whereas Emmanuel Macron is turning against nato, it seems. 0bviously Emmanuel Macron is turning against nato, it seems. Obviously the presence of the United States is absolutely invaluable and has the military power and do you think with all the divisions weve been talking about they can paper over the cracks today . They will be working very ha rd to today . They will be working very hard to do it and borisjohnson is appealing for unity and the secretary general has agreed to come together and there are obviously threats and issues around the world which nato needs to deal with and tackle and for it to be divided, obviously, is the worst case scenario. Before that helicopter, we thought it was President Trump, but it was a decoy. This looks like the president , so this is him coming in and just talk us through the days events, richard, because we are going to have a kind of family photograph first of all in the next few minutes, a family, which as we have been saying, has been squabbling a bit. Its all running a bit late because we understand that this should have happened, but you are right, the leaders have been arriving and there have been handshakes and the family photograph will take place, and once that is done then the summit should get under way. It supposed to start at 10am, for three hours and they were obviously thrashed some issues out and we will get a declaration at the end and we are expecting a number of news c0 nfe re nces end and we are expecting a number of News Conferences with donald trump, borisjohnson News Conferences with donald trump, Boris Johnson and mr stoltenberg. We will be talking to the Hungarian Foreign minister in a moment for his view of these events in hertfordshire, but lets take a look at what we think is President Trumps helicopter, landing in the rolling splendour of the grove hotel. It has a huge golf course here which im sure he would be attracted to but i dont think he will have time to get a round in. And we will see if he emerges. Im joined by the Hungarian Foreign minister, and very good to talk to you, sir. Thank you for being here. What is your perspective on nato . There has been a lot of talk about the divisions, the cracks in this alliance. How do you see it . We used to bea alliance. How do you see it . We used to be a country which was under a communist regime for a0 years, so for us, being members of nato is kind of a symbol for regaining our ability to make our own choices for oui ability to make our own choices for our future, so we want to see this organisation remain the strongest and most successful Defence Alliance in global history, so and we need nato to adjust to the latest and newest challenges and we will definitely do our best to take part in the working group which was decided upon during the last foreign ministerial meeting and we are going to contribute to making the necessary decisions in order to maintain the strength of nato. As a former member of the communist bloc, do you see russia as the principal opponent, if you like, of nato, or the principal concern, the principal strategic worry . I think there are challenges coming from two directions, basically. 0ne direction is the east, but the other is the south and coming from a Central European country which is located on the pathway of massive illegal migratory floors, we understand that migration is a consequence of terrorism, so i do believe that we have to put a lot of emphasis on fighting against terror and we will contribute to that. There is President Trump arriving at the grove hotel in hertfordshire, walking from marine 0ne grove hotel in hertfordshire, walking from marine one to join the other world leaders, the 28 other leaders in what has been a bit of a fractious meeting. What do you think of the argument we saw yesterday . President macron said nato was brain dead and President Trump who we saw yesterday saying Emmanuel Macron is nasty and disrespectful, quite a lot of bad mouthing going on. Nasty and disrespectful, quite a lot of badmouthing going on. Look, its being said about nato that it would being said about nato that it would be brain dead, but i dont agree with that. We understand that there are totally new challenges which nato has to face, but in this situation what we have to do is work in order to make nato stronger and make a nato proper to give the necessary a nswe is make a nato proper to give the necessary answers and addresses to the challenges we do have and we understand there are different concepts about how europe can participate. I think it is a legitimate expectation that the europeans have to do more in order to contribute to the success of the alliance and we have to increase our effo rts alliance and we have to increase our efforts to make sure we have security. We hungarians do a lot in this regard and we have carried out a very robust Modernisation Programme of our armed forces in order to reach the 2 threshold by 202a, as we have made that pledge backin 202a, as we have made that pledge back in wales, but we made another pledge which we have fulfilled already for the first time in our history, more than 20 of the defence spending will be spent on new purchases meaning more development, 23 , which is an important milestone when it comes to our contribution to nato efforts. Nato is 70 years old. We have been members for ten years. Willoughby round and another 70 years . It was created, lets face it, to up to the soviet union and stalin in 19a9. Has it really got a role in this day and age, 70 years later . We are interested in keeping it as the most important Defence Alliance ever in global his
