01:00Driven by growing tensions in the Middle East
01:02Meanwhile, as temperatures climb across Northern Europe once again this weekend
01:07New data confirms June was the hottest June ever recorded across Europe and the world's oceans
01:13Scientists say the Omega Block claimed around 3,700 lives here in Belgium, France and the Netherlands
01:20And took a heavy toll on ecosystems, agriculture and labour productivity
01:24While fuelling destructive storms, drought and wildfires
01:28But first to Ankara, where the much-anticipated NATO summit has come to a close
01:33With record spending commitments for Europe and Ukraine
01:36But the mood was dampened by the US President Donald Trump declaring the ceasefire over in Iran
01:42And reigniting his demand to control Greenland
01:45For more, let's bring in our NATO correspondent, Shona Murray, who's been following the summit all week for us
01:50Well, good morning, Maeve
01:52Look, we know that the object of this summit really was for NATO allies in Europe and Canada to prove
01:56That they're on a credible path to spending 5% of GDP on defence by 2035
02:02As agreed at the last NATO summit
02:04And I think we can say that they achieved that part for sure
02:07We saw at the NATO Industry Defence Forum
02:10There was $50 billion committed to of new capabilities
02:14When it comes to submarines, aircraft, ammunition, interceptors
02:18All very important to protect the European continent as well as the Arctic in the medium to long term
02:23There was also this NATO drone edge, which is drones and anti-drone technology
02:28Which also includes the recruitment and training of pilots for use all across NATO territory
02:33Very important at the moment because we see all these drone incursions taking place
02:37Across the Baltics and Poland and other parts of NATO
02:40In addition, we saw Donald Trump having a better relationship with Vladimir Zelensky, the Ukrainian president
02:45And appeared to approve the Ukrainians the licence to manufacture their own patriot defence systems
02:52Which is very important in terms of the Ukrainian air defence
02:55But as with Donald Trump, you know, you're only one sort of issue away from the whole summit being upended
03:02And we nearly had that because when he arrived, he castigated his allies over the war in Iran
03:07And he also made the comment that the United States would like to control Greenland over Denmark
03:13Take a listen to John Bolton, his former national security advisor
03:17Saying that Donald Trump does this just to court controversy
03:21He's trolling people, as they say
03:23In the first term, I was in his office once, he was dictating a tweet
03:28And he told the person typing the tweet
03:30Capitalise all the letters in that last sentence
03:33Which a lot of people, it drives them
03:35It just is very distracting for people
03:38And he turned and said to me, do you know why I just said that?
03:41And I said, no, why?
03:42And he said, because it drives them crazy
03:44So why does he talk about taking Greenland?
03:48Because it drives them crazy
03:49That's what it's about
03:50So that was John Bolton, Donald Trump's former national security advisor
03:54Making the point that Donald Trump makes these outlandish statements in order to create division
03:59But we have to listen to the Prime Minister of Denmark as well yesterday, Mette Frederiksen
04:04And she made the point that Denmark takes these comments very seriously
04:08She said that Denmark was ready to protect all of Danish, Greenlandish and NATO territory
04:13But she called on the United States to respect the sovereignty of Greenland and Denmark
04:17And I think it's worth also pointing out that the Prime Minister of Greenland just a few months ago
04:21Said that when he met the US envoy to Greenland
04:24That the United States had not changed the position
04:27When it comes to taking over or having Greenland
04:30So this is still an issue that is particularly ongoing and should be taken seriously
04:35I think that's the point as well
04:36Okay, Shona Murray, thank you so much for that update there
04:40From Ankara
04:41And now to dive deeper into the outcomes of that NATO summit
04:44We can bring in Jamie Shea, former NATO security advisor
04:47Who spent many years here in the headquarters of NATO in Brussels
04:50Jamie Shea, thank you so much for joining us
04:52Curious to hear your view
04:54Was this a successful NATO gathering?
04:57I think yes, ultimately it was
04:59And good morning to you too
05:00And thanks for having me on the show
05:02It ended better than it started
05:04Clearly Trump was in a more friendly mood towards the alliance in the private meeting
05:10And I suppose that's the one that really counts
05:12Than in some of his public remarks
05:13For example, he did say that the US is staying in the alliance
05:17And somebody like Trump hearing that is not always to be taken for granted
05:21He signed off on a communique
05:24Which may not be the most interesting thing for the media
05:27But it's important for diplomats
05:29The official text where the US committed itself to NATO Article 5 collective defence
05:35And called it ironclad
05:36These were the kind of things that the Allies wanted to hear
05:39And of course, he also showed some satisfaction
05:44Unsurprisingly
05:44With the fact that his message on defence spending has been heeded
05:48Mark Rutter and the other Allies were at pains to point out
05:51That over the last year
05:53Europe and Canada have spent 11% more on defence
05:57The figure now is about an extra $250 billion over the last two years on military budgets
06:03So although five Allies out of the 32 today are on that 5% target
06:10So there's still a long way to go
06:12Allies have until 2035
06:14But all of them practically, with a few laggards, are moving in the right direction
06:19So the summit was designed, of course, to be a Trump-pleasing summit
06:22By showing that the responsibility for NATO is moving both financially and militarily
06:29Onto Europe
06:29So I think, yes, people were expecting a rough ride with Trump
06:32You always get that
06:33But, you know, as they said about Wagner's music
06:37It's better than it sounds
06:38And I think it ended up on a more positive note
06:41Than people had feared when Trump first arrived in Ankara
06:45And as you saw, months of work, of course, goes into organising these summits
06:48So as you say, officials are happy for now
06:51But, of course, Trump was very critical of Allies like Spain and the UK
06:54Is this really the end of NATO, do you think, as we know it?
06:57No, I don't believe so
06:58But, you know, whether Trump doesn't like NATO or does, the messaging changes
07:03I think, you know, if you look at the trend line
07:05It's been pretty clear now
07:08And for a decade or so already
07:10Which is that the United States is going to stay in NATO
07:13Which is good, but it's going to do a lot less
07:15In terms of holding up the collective defence than Allies were used to during the Cold War
07:19For example, just at the NATO Defence Minister's meeting a couple of days before the Ankara Summit
07:24The US Secretary of War, Pete Hegserf, announced a number of significant reductions
07:29In US contributions to the NATO full structure
07:32You know, only one aircraft carrier now instead of two
07:35One strategic bomber instead of two
07:37Far fewer drones, far fewer fighter aircraft
07:41And Europe has had to scramble to sort of find in its own arsenals
07:46Those capabilities to replace the US
07:48We have the spectre of 5,000 US troops leaving Germany
07:53They may, some of them may go to Poland
07:55But it's not certain
07:57I mean, the good news is that the United States continues to uphold nuclear deterrence for Europe
08:01That's important
08:02And stays in the NATO command structure
08:04But everybody now is talking about NATO 3.0
08:08Whereby they mean a NATO which is going to be run, financed, resourced, operated
08:14You know, Europeans in the front line
08:16Much more a European show and less an American show
08:19Than the NATO we've all been used to from our fathers and grandfathers
08:24And just on Iran though
08:26We saw, of course, the war flare up in the last couple of days
08:30Trump says the ceasefire is over
08:32Where do we go from here, Jamie Shea?
08:34Well, I think we need to wait and see
08:36Because clearly the talks with Iran have not yet been broken off
08:40Even if they're not going anywhere fast
08:42I think, you know, Trump knows from opinion polling in the United States
08:46And even the Senate passing a war powers resolution
08:50That this war is not popular at home
08:52Even with his own Republican MAGA base
08:55The Americans want him to end the war
08:57And he's got the midterm elections coming up
08:59So, you know, I don't think he voluntarily wants to get back into a full-scale war against Iran
09:05And for Europe, of course, it's very bad news
09:08Because if Trump, on the one hand, wants Europe to spend all of this extra money on defence
09:12The last thing you want to do is tank the European economies
09:16With higher oil prices and inflation and higher debt costs
09:20Which are going to make it so much more difficult to fund defence
09:23And, you know, Europe was sort of hoping for a breathing space
09:26With the oil price going down to $60 a barrel
09:28It's now up 5%, you know, who knows where it's going to go
09:31And therefore all of the kind of pressures that we had a couple of months ago
09:35Including, of course, things like, you know, fertiliser
09:37Not getting out of the Gulf to feed hungry people in Africa
09:40All of those difficult scenarios are going to return
09:43But let's wait and see
09:44Because I think it's Trump's interest to keep this memorandum of understanding going
09:49And talks with Iran going
09:51And therefore, you know, both sides may choose after, you know
09:54A flurry of activity to de-escalate once more
09:57Okay, Jamie Shea, always a pleasure to have you on the programme
10:00Thank you so much for joining us live this morning
10:02And now for the humanitarian lens on all of this
10:05We're joined here in the studio by Jean-Nicolas Beuse from the UNHCR here in Brussels
10:09Good morning, thank you so much for joining us
10:11And of course, as we're reporting there, the war in Iran really flaring up again
10:15What does that mean for your job and for, of course, migration flows and the humanitarian aspect?
10:20So every time that bombs are being dropped or drone attacks occur
10:24We have people who are forced to leave their home
10:27Whether it's in Iran, in Ukraine or in Sudan
10:30So we can expect that some people last night had to flee their home because they were destroyed
10:35But also many others will flee as a preventative measure
10:39Because they are afraid that they are the next target
10:41What we saw in the case of Iran, specifically earlier this year
10:45Is that more, according to official figure, more than one million people were displaced
10:49Many to rural areas to avoid the urban centre which were targeted
10:54But have no come back
10:55Except that for 150,000 families who have their house destroyed
11:01They will not be able to come back
11:03So that's where the humanitarian, UNHCR and others
11:06Have to step in to provide some support with the authorities in the case of Iran
11:11And how are you providing that support when cuts are being, you know, there's many cutbacks to your organisation
11:16We're hearing as well Trump saying that the bombing could get, quote, much worse
11:21Every time we have to make choice
11:22We have to decide, we have to prioritise who we are going to help
11:26Are we going to help the mothers with three children or the mothers with seven children?
11:30Are we going to help the elderly people who have no support?
11:34Every time it's a choice because indeed, over the last two years, three years
11:39The humanitarian partners have seen the budget put at their disposal
11:45By donor countries, the US, the European Union, the Gulf countries
11:50Relation to almost less than half of what we had three years ago
11:54And the needs are continuing rising
11:56So therefore we are unable to help everyone
11:58And meanwhile, it's already one month since the EU's migration and asylum pact has come into force
12:03What has changed in your view?
12:04So we will see the test is really the implementation in every of the 27 member states
12:10We will see whether it will make the decision faster, fairer
12:13Whether it will make the life of the decision maker easier
12:16And less costly for us, the taxpayer
12:19Because it will be a more rapid decision
12:22But also whether the principle, the protection principle behind the asylum system in Europe will help
12:29Are we going to continue not detaining people?
12:32Or people who seek asylum will be systematically detained?
12:35Are we going to give them legal aid so they can navigate the asylum procedures, which are quite complex?
12:41Or are we going to leave them alone, figuring out what needs to be done with appeal
12:47And appeal which are very costly for us
12:49So the test now is really in the implementation
12:51And a big focus now, of course, on returns
12:53And we saw technical talks take place recently here between officials from the Commission and the Taliban
12:58What was your view of this encounter?
12:59So what we need to remind everyone is that a country may be in different phases
13:06We are speaking about Afghanistan with the Taliban
13:08We are speaking about Syria with a new regime
13:10And probably more hope for people to return
13:13And we are speaking about Sudan where the return is not possible
13:16Because it's a dire situation with the conflict and famine increasing
13:21What is really important for the European Union is to keep the principle that nobody shall be returned to a
13:28possible situation of harm
13:30And the harm can come from different actors, from different situations
13:34So before sending anyone to Afghanistan, Syria or Sudan
13:39We need to ensure that there is an individual assessment
13:42Will this person be able to regain control over their life without being put at risk?
13:48Okay, Jean-Nicolas Boos, thank you so much for coming into us here and being our guest on Europe today
13:52But now moving on to another story
13:55The EU's anti-fraud wing, Olaf, has caught an international trafficking operation
13:59Responsible for counterfeit condoms
14:01They're untested, uncontrolled and unsafe
14:04Jakob Janis has the story
14:08It would be an easy topic to laugh at if it wasn't a matter of public health
14:12Brussels' anti-fraud investigators at Olaf just broke up an international smuggling group
14:17And criminals tried to slip their illegal cargo past European border checks using a bizarre disguise
14:23They declared their shipments as children's toys to evade customs controls
14:28But there was a problem because the boxes did not contain toys at all
14:33The cross-border network distributed more than 200,000 counterfeit condoms across the continent
14:39Smugglers targeted three specific nations as their main entry hubs
14:44Romania, Serbia and Spain
14:46And when the border teams intercepted the fakes
14:49It turned out they all come from a single source in China
14:52And the total black market value of this illegal shipment sits at over 200,000 euros
14:57But you see, potential health costs will be much higher
15:00The European anti-fraud office warns these fakes are untested and unsafe
15:05Or, in plain English, they can spread infections and cause unplanned pregnancies
15:10But there is also a bigger picture here
15:13Fake condoms are just one part of the massive black market boom across the continent
15:18And I'll give you an example
15:19Last year, a global Interpol crackdown seized 57 million euros worth of counterfeit medicines
15:26And this part is important
15:28When it comes to Europe, the main targets were fake weight loss pens
15:32And cosmetic and performance-enhancing peptide supplements
15:36For distribution, criminals do not even need to use the dark web anymore
15:40They simply flood social media to sell their knockoffs straight to your feed
15:45But back to our fake condoms
15:47Brussels claims this raid proves European enforcement works
15:51But it also shows how criminals exploit the system
15:54The continent still remains open to black market fakes
15:57And with countless cases going unnoticed
16:00It might look like Europe is left without protection
16:07Jakub Janus there
16:08And now it's time for our World Cup segment
16:16Well, following a day without World Cup action
16:19After 27 days of games, goals and emotions
16:22Just eight teams remain
16:24Six European, one African and one from the Americas
16:27One side will be eliminated every day until Sunday
16:30So here's four things that you should know about the quarterfinals
16:34First, France probably remains the favourites
16:36But standing in their way are Morocco
16:39Who, just like in 2022, are the only African team left at this stage
16:43This time though, they arrive as African champions
16:46And have a much more mature side
16:47So expect a very good fight
16:50Then Spain, who's the only team yet to concede a goal
16:53With Unai Simone breaking the record for the longest run
16:56Without conceding in the tournament's history
16:58The question now, of course
16:59Can Belgium end that run?
17:01Now the Red Devils definitely have some renewed confidence
17:04After knocking out one of the tournament's co-hosts
17:07The United States
17:08They've also faced Spain in the World Cup twice
17:10Losing in 1990 and winning in 1986
17:13With a penalty shootout
17:15And third, one team will be playing its first ever World Cup quarterfinals
17:19And that's of course Norway
17:20They've risen 12 places in FIFA's World Cup rankings
17:24Since the start of the tournament
17:25From 31st to 19th
17:27If they beat England, they could enter the top 10
17:30The clash will see two of the tournament's deadliest strikers go head-to-head
17:34I'm talking of course about Erling Haaland and Harry Kane
17:37So that is a match not to be missed
17:39And finally, Messi
17:41After leading Argentina to a late victory over Egypt
17:44With a goal and an assist
17:45He became the very first player to score in nine consecutive World Cup matches
17:50Messi is the tournament's all-time assist hero
17:52And he's the first player, aged 30 or over
17:55To score eight goals at a single World Cup
17:57What record is left for him to break?
18:00And can he keep it going against Switzerland?
18:02Stay tuned and enjoy the games
