Welcome to Navaralive. I'm Michael Walker, and I'm joined again by Aaron Bustani. Aaron, how are you doing? Have you had a nice weekend? Oh, where are you? What's this background? This is new.

I'm at home, Michael. I mean, it will be one day in my study. But it's not there yet, sadly, but the desk is there. It's just the rest of the room.

But no, I had a very nice weekend.

And apologies to our listeners and viewers again tonight for my mic.

I'm talking into a very good phone, but it's still a phone.

It'll be rectified.

The next time I'm speaking to you down the line, Michael.

That's a promise.

Coming up tonight, an interview with Ines S. Schwartner,

the co-leader of the German Socialist Party, the Linker. Israel is once again preventing

aid from entering Gaza and no other land filmed in the West Bank, wins best documentary at the

Oscars. We look at their

speeches. Stay tuned for all of that. As ever, make sure to let us know your comments.

In the YouTube chat, you can tweet us on the hashtag Navarra live. Straight into our first story,

though, after the epic fallout between Donald Trump and Balotamilensky on Friday,

Kirstama has stepped up to play leader of the

free world. On Sunday, he gave a big interview to Laura Coonsburg. I do think that generally

Europe needs to do more in its own defense and security. And that's why I've said we need to

increase spending. We've got to increase capability. And we've got to coordinate more because in the Ukraine conflict, we've seen that the coordination isn't there. I think then on top of that, we need to be clear what a European security guarantee would look like. I do acknowledge, as you put this to me, that that's more likely to be, in the first instance, a coalition of the willing.

In other words, we've got to find those countries in Europe that are prepared to be a bit more forward-leaning.
