00:00We are here in The Hague and the final security measures have just gone into effect before
00:09the start of the NATO summit. Here in the city centre life continues as normal. Shops and
00:15restaurants are open and as you can see people are roaming the streets freely. But just a few
00:21streets ahead, the first road closure can already be seen. This is Seesrath, a popular street leading
00:32into the city centre of The Hague before the next few days completely closed off to the
00:37public. Just beyond these gates are several high-end hotels that have been booked out to
00:42host high-profile leaders attending the summit. This is the biggest security operation that
00:52the Netherlands has ever conducted. 27,000 police officers have been deployed as well as 5,000
00:59soldiers. The last time the country hosted a summit at a similar scale was the nuclear summit
01:04in 2014, which cost 24 million euros. This one is expected to cost over 180 million euros,
01:12quite a bit more.
01:17As we come closer to the summit venue, we begin to notice the major disruptions that the residents
01:22of the surrounding areas are facing. But the real deal is here at the World Forum where
01:27the summit is taking place. People that live within the security boundaries have to pass
01:32through checkpoints like these anytime they want to enter or exit. At this checkpoint, people
01:38can pick up their daily newspapers complete with coffee and croissants.
