What are the threats facing Europe? | Inside Story

Welfare not warfare - protesters came out in force in London, objecting to the British government’s plans to increase military spending while cutting back on social support.
Like its European allies in NATO, the UK is under pressure from the United States to take responsibility for its own security.

How will European leaders address possible public discontent?
