Hi there, it's Dan Snow, host of the Dan Snow's History Hit podcast.
It is officially summer here in Europe.
I would love for you to accompany me on a history lover's holiday vacation around this continent.
On my podcast throughout August, I'll be your guide to Europe's most iconic historical hotspots,
from the bell towers of Paris's Notre Dame Cathedral to the streets of Pompeii.
to the gladiators' coliseum in Rome.
We'll walk in the footsteps of Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London.
We will unravel the mysteries of the Minoans on the island of Crete.
Let me narrate your historic summer on Dan Snow's History wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to The World in 10.
In an increasingly uncertain world, this is The Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.
Today with me, Laura Cook and Stuart Willey.
European leaders are today meeting with Donald Trump,
hoping to press the case for Ukraine and Europe's security.
Dialing into the virtual meeting will be the UK Prime Minister,
Sukiya Starmer, France's Emmanuel Macron,
Ursula von der Leyen, Germany's Friedrich Merz,
and of course, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky.
All of them excluded from Trump's one-on-one meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.
All of them expected to stress the dangers that lie ahead.
