CATHERINE CALLAWAY, CNN ANCHOR: Let's check what's making headlines overseas in this morning's 'Euro Edition.' Becky Anderson back with us live in London.
So, Becky, what does the front page look like this morning?
BECKY ANDERSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, the front pages in Belgium carrying a different story from the front pages elsewhere. Elsewhere we've got the very staged managed PR coup of President George W. Bush, of course, arriving in Iraq yesterday.
Let me tell you what's on the front pages of the Belgium newspaper "De Morgan" today. Hans Blix, the former chief U.N. weapons inspector, is really speaking his mind and he is talking out against the U.S. He says that the United States could not simply choose to leave Iraq after toppling Saddam Hussein. He said they are on the ground, they can't leave now, but they don't have much experience in reconstructing the country. And he says they must use and get the U.N. involved a lot more.
He also said I don't really see them doing quite the same thing in Iran or North Korea very quickly. And you better believe that when they show up with evidence again, this is alluding to the U.S., we will scrutinize them very closely. That's Hans Blix in an interview in the Belgium newspaper "De Morgan" today this Friday.
"Le Biratso (ph)" in France, there's the picture, the, as I say, pretty stage managed, this PR event, wasn't it, yesterday, as President George W. Bush arrives in Iraq with turkey for Thanksgiving for the troops. Raid electoral Baghdad, effectively saying this is an electoral raid on Baghdad. "Le Biratso" not particularly pro Bush, as we know, the French newspaper.
On the front pages of "The Times" of London today, of course the same picture, suicide bomber held in Britain, an al Qaeda cell, potential al Qaeda cell, possibly being broken in Gloucester in the west of England. The police raiding a house in Gloucester in a fairly sort of suburban area yesterday taking a suspect to London to Paddington Central where he's being held at present. Some small amount of explosive found in that house, apparently. Raids in Italy, and indeed in Berlin, today on suspected terrorists as well.
Back to you guys.
CALLAWAY: Interesting to see how those stories play out overseas.
Hey what about this hat? We've heard the hat. Becky, do you have a picture of this?
ANDERSON: Let me show you the hat. If you have got time, I'll show you the hat.
CALLAWAY: Yes, I hope we have time for this, because it's like something out of "Beetlejuice."
ANDERSON: David Beckham, there you go.
CALLAWAY: And he was knighted, right?
ANDERSON: That's Posh, Victoria Beckham. I think I quite like it, actually. Everybody else has been slagging it off today. I mean you know she could have worn anything, and you know it's actually not that bad. I just think he looks absolutely gorgeous, of course, but he always does. And that state of Beckham and his wife, Victoria Beckham, or Posh Spice as we know her to be, getting his OB, the Order of the British Empire, from the Queen yesterday. He looks absolutely magnificent in his morning dress.
CALLAWAY: Yes, he always looks nice. I think the hat is interesting. You know if anybody can pull it off, she can. I just think it's funny it's making news over there.
ANDERSON: Yes.
CALLAWAY: Thank you -- Becky.
ANDERSON: She pulls anything off, including marrying him.
CALLAWAY: Yes, she can. OK. Have a good one.
