EU chief calls for defence 'surge', says 'time of illusions' over
President of European Commission Ursula von der Leyen calls for a "surge" in European defence spending, as the 27-nation bloc faces an aggressive Russia and faltering US support. "The time of illusions is now over. Europe is called to take greater charge of its own defence," the EU chief told the EU parliament in Strasbourg. SOUNDBITE
