CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Time now, though, to check on what's making headlines overseas in this morning's "Euro Edition." Liz George live for us in London.
Good morning -- Liz.

LIZ GEORGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning to you.

Well very much on the broad sheets, we picked up on that report on chemical weapons -- chemical, biological weapons in Iraq. And "The Guardian" really expresses it fairly well. They have got three pictures in their headline. The first saying 200,000 troops. The second saying 10,000 killed. And the third one, one vial there which is looking into that report. It really sort of says it all there, no shining weapons is the headline. Very much echoed around the other big broad sheet newspapers as well.

Many of them actually contrasting with what the British government has been saying and the British government's dossier on Iraq as well, basically saying that in that dossier the government claims that there were chemical and biological weapons available. And the ISG, of course, finding no evidence of that. And now many of the MPs who quit, saying that that vindicates their decision to have to quit government over going to war in Iraq -- Carol.

COSTELLO: What else -- I mean is Arnold Schwarzenegger making headlines overseas?

GEORGE: Yes. Now this is going to be a story that the tabloids are going to love, isn't it? He is certainly making headlines here. One of the headlines, one of the -- one of the less saucy headlines I thought I'd bring you is this one, Arnie, the barbarian. And of course they are not really talking about his films there, are they, they are talking about his behavior or his alleged behavior in various interviews and that sort of thing.

This rather fuzzy picture that you have got here is him being interviewed in one of these alleged incidents. And the program is "The Big Breakfast," and they actually interview the stars on a bed for "The Big Breakfast." So I'm not really sure what the image was that they were trying to portray there, but them saying that you know he was a bit free with his hands on her bottom.

COSTELLO: Just amazing. So they're not really following the race in California, they are just following the Arnold allegations. I understand.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, we've been teasing that all morning.

GEORGE: Absolutely. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, yes, here you are. They had a few boxes in here, but they, unfortunately, didn't leave me very many, just one in the corner. Krispy Kreme opening up in Harrods. Now that's interesting, isn't it? Of course Harrods that very big upmarket store here, very sort of glossy, the one that all the tourists know and love. And Krispy Kreme is opening up there. First one, I believe, outside the U.S., apart from a couple in Canada, but certainly the first one in Europe. So Krispy Kreme is coming to the Europeans.

COSTELLO: Was that Dick Clark?

GEORGE: Be interesting to see how they -- how they go down.

COSTELLO: That was Dick Clark.

GEORGE: I'm sorry?

COSTELLO: Dick Clark was in -- was in the U.K. at Harrods for the Krispy Kreme opening.

GEORGE: Opening them all up. I think they will definitely have all the razzmatazz going on there, and I think that they will also be sort of handing them out and seeing what the reaction is. Of course doughnuts for us here in the U.K. are kind of like huge great big sugary things with jam in the middle. So they are going to be a bit surprised when they find these doughnuts which have got holes in the middle. That will be a bit unusual for us.

COSTELLO: Shocking! Liz George, many thanks.

GEORGE: I know, absolutely.

COSTELLO: Live from London this morning.
