Barack Obama’s first trip to Berlin as president was portrayed as a visit between friends. Both country’s leading families appeared to get along well – even the rarely seen husband of Chancellor Angela Merkel joined in.

Using the anniversary of the JFK Cold War address, the scene was set at the Brandenburg Gate for a grand gesture.

And under a hot sun Obama called for a cut in US and Russian nuclear weapons:

“After a comprehensive review, I can determine that we can ensure the security of America and our allies and maintain a strong and credible strategic return, while reducing our deployed strategic nuclear weapons by up to one-third. And, I intend to seek negotiated cuts with Russia to move beyond cold war nuclear postures.”

Paying respects to the fallen at the Berlin wall was a must and the presence of Obama’s wife and daughters provided a well received photo opportunity.

“We need to develop strategies to cope with extreme weather, or it will kill us.”

As Europe suffocates under a heatwave, climate expert Carlo Buontempo says temperatures “will continue to go up,” adding that “heat-related mortality has increased by 30% over the past 20 years.”

Buontempo, who leads the Copernicus Climate Change Service, also said that “record-breaking temperatures should not be breaking news. This is a consequence of the world warming up.”
