  Speaker 1: Vincent mcavini is with me from Europe and the UK. Vincent,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: what good morning, What is the latest on the zettack
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: in Munich.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Well, this attack happened in Munich a couple
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: of hours ago, and Afghan asylum seeker drove at a
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: group of people in the German city. Reports say he
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: is a twenty four year old who had an asylum
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: claim rejected after coming to Germany in twenty sixteen, but
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: has been given a sort of leave to remain since then.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: But it's understood he is someone known to officers. He
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: has had offenses of theft and drug usage and drug
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: we think sales as well, but it's unclear what his
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: motive was. Today he was ended by a who fired
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: one jotted him before arrest. But it comes just as
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Munich is set to host the Munich Security Conference, which
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: is one of the biggest global security conferences. The Vice
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: president j D Varnt arrived in the city, but it's
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: unclear at the moment whether or not this is in
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: any way connected to that conference. Germany has had several
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: of these attacks over recent years, and they've got an
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: election just over a week away, so that potentially could
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: have something to do with it as well, Vincent.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Very quickly, how is Europe reacting to the conversations President
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Trump is having with both Russia and the Ukraine.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Well, a lot of frustration and anchor as well at
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: what's going on. Vladimir Zelenski coming out and saying very
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: clearly there can be no peace plan sort of forged
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: between Trump and Putin without him, as are reportedly going
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: to be a conference in Saudi Arabia on this, but
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the Ukrainians saying they must be involved and that will
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: be the only way to secure peace. Lots though in Europe,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: which is obviously you know, we've borne the brunt of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: supporting Ukraine in terms of taking in Ukrainians and the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: support that's been given, and also the impacts on cost
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: of living, and many European nations leaders angry that, you know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: they're comparing it to appeasement of Hitler, saying that Trump
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: has already given too much away ahead of the negotiations
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: with that ninety minute call yesterday with Vladimir Putin.
• 2:07
