The Interview

David van Weel, Dutch Minister of Justice: Preparing for disaster


Listen Later

BBC foreign correspondent in the Netherlands, Anna Holligan, speaks to David Van Weel, the Dutch justice minister as he calls on citizens to prepare a 72-hour emergency kit - to enable people to be self-sufficient for three days in case of a disaster.

The kits should include enough food and water to survive for 72 hours - in case of war and other catastrophes. It's part of a European-wide strategy as geopolitical uncertainty spreads globally.

He tells us the nature of the risks and where they’re coming from and whether Europe should still feel reassured about NATO defence.
