afternoon at nato headquarters. the manchester attack has concentrated nato minds on counterterrorism. is expected to formally join the anti-isis coalition in iraq and syria. that wouldn't change very much on the ground. it would mean deployment of more nato radar planes in the region and a slight increase in the nato training mission that exists for iraqi security forces. and also nato is supposed

-- the keeping the expectations somewhat low? could you repeat that? >> this nato gathering is being called very deliberately a meeting, not a summit. i'm asking why the alliance appears to be keeping expectations quite low. >> they are trying to size up donald trump. the jitters about intelligence he takesssia and how different positions from other nato leaders on this, these are ,ll reasons to tread carefully to try and understand if he will take a more firm and stable position on any of these questions. the result of that, we are having a series of photo opportunities. there are substantive discussions going on. particularly the working dinner. this evening. what is missing this time compared to previous nato sessions, those normally happen as part of the overall proceedings
