The number of tangents that can be drawn from $(0, 0)$ to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} + 2x + 6y - 15 = 0$ is

The centres of two circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ each of unit radius are at a distance of $6$ units from each other. Let $P$ be the mid point of the line segment joining the centres of $C_1$ and $C_2$ and $C$ be a circle touching circles $C_1$ and $C_2$ externally. If a common tangent to $C_1$ and $C$ passing through $P$ is also a common tangent to $C_2$ and $C$, then the radius of the circle $C$ is
