00:00Is the EU about to start scanning your text messages?
00:05For years, claims have been circulating that the European Union wants to enable governments
00:10and private companies to read people's text messages as part of a planned law clamped down
00:15on online child sexual abuse. Recently, these claims have intensified with users alleging
00:20the blog will scan all encrypted messages even as they're being typed, making users fear for
00:26their privacy. It's often referred to as chat control. But the idea that Europeans have to
00:31brace themselves for the immediate end of private messaging is misleading. The possibility of
00:37scanning private messages is part of this planned new law on child sexual abuse and it is indeed
00:42being considered. But the Commission is proposing specific and limited detection orders. While
00:47there are legitimate concerns that this could spell the end of digital privacy as we know it,
00:52proponents insist that detection orders do not apply by default to everyone and would
00:57be limited in time and scope. They would also have to be requested by a national authority
01:02and then approved by a court or an independent authority. Secondly, the Commission's proposal
01:06is only the starting point. For the law to pass, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU
01:11both need to agree on exactly the same text, which has not happened yet. In fact, the Parliament has
01:17already voted for changes that go against broad scanning, especially for encrypted apps. And the
01:22Council is itself split. A majority of countries like France, Spain and Italy are in favour of strong
01:28scanning rules, while Austria, the Netherlands and Poland have said they will not accept them. Others,
01:33including Germany and Belgium, remain undecided. Because of this division, several planned votes have
01:38been delayed. A new one is now scheduled on the 12th of September. So there is a legitimate debate
01:44about whether this proposed law can tread the line between safeguarding children on one hand
01:49and ensuring online privacy on the other. But panic that the EU is about to immediately scan messages,
01:55even before they're being sent, is so premature.
01:57La salud y el bienestar siguen siendo la prioridad para los consumidores europeos. Alrededor del
02:1528% de los europeos dice tomar medidas para llevar una vida sana, con objetivos como el bienestar
02:22mental, la prevención, la prevención de enfermedades y mantenerse en forma. El estudio muestra que las
02:28diferencias generacionales determinan las preferencias. Los más jóvenes privilegian el bienestar, la forma
02:34física y la belleza, mientras que los mayores dan prioridad a la pérdida de peso y la prevención de
02:41enfermedades. El 66% de los consumidores europeos afirma dormir bien gracias al autocuidado, el ejercicio y el
02:50consumo de alimentos nutritivos. Los consumidores creen que una alimentación sana da prioridad a
02:56los alimentos frescos, la nutrición, el control de las porciones y la reducción al mínimo del picoteo.
03:03El estudio también reveló que un número creciente de consumidores europeos adopta hábitos de consumo
03:10consciente para cuidar el planeta, con un 28% que reutiliza productos y envases. Las tendencias de
03:17consumo muestran que los consumidores de 18 a 34 años cambian cada vez más su dieta por causas
03:23medioambientales, mientras que otros cultivan sus propios alimentos, compostan residuos orgánicos y
03:28reciclan.
03:30¿Qué países de la Unión Europea ofrecen las ayudas escolares más generosas?
03:35Enviar a los niños a la escuela puede costar varios miles de euros. En toda la Unión Europea las
03:47ayudas revisten de distintas formas, becas, préstamos y subsidios para estudiantes y padres.
03:54Los alumnos de secundaria son los que más reciben unos 1.766 euros anuales por cabeza,
04:00frente a sólo 533 euros por alumno de secundaria, según los últimos datos de Eurostat.
04:10Detrás de esas medias, sin embargo, se esconden fuertes contrastes. Por ejemplo, Noruega y
04:16Dinamarca proporcionan las ayudas más elevadas de Europa, ambas por encima de los 8.000 euros
04:22anuales por niño durante la educación secundaria y los estudios superiores.
04:26En el otro extremo, Grecia, Croacia y la República Checa proporcionan las ayudas más bajas.
04:34¿Y qué hay del gasto global en educación?
04:37Si se compara con el PIB, Croacia ocupa el último lugar con menos del 2%, seguida de
04:43Rumanía, Serbia y Turquía con alrededor del 3%.
04:47Mientras tanto, Suecia está a la cabeza de Europa con casi el 7%, seguida de Islandia
04:54y Bélgica con más del 6% y Finlandia y Dinamarca siguiéndoles muy de cerca.
05:00Did Russia produce a leaflet to silence violent soldiers' wives?
05:08This photo, which is circulating virally online, claims to show a leaflet providing practical
05:14advice to Russian military wives beaten by their husbands.
05:18It tells women to refrain from speaking out, to mask bruises with makeup and to consider
05:23how they provoked their husbands.
05:25It has prompted debate online about whether this is real or part of a propaganda campaign
05:31targeting Moscow.
05:32We investigated using reverse image searches and found that in early August, an almost
05:37identical leaflet was circulating purporting to come from the Ukrainian government.
05:42The texts on both leaflets are the same.
05:45Ukraine's Center for Countering Disinformation, which is a government agency, attributed the leaflet
05:50to Russian propagandists working to discredit the Ukrainian armed forces.
05:54It means that the exact same narrative was used initially to target Kiev and then Moscow.
06:00It's plausible, therefore, that this most recent leaflet is the work of pro-Ukraine
06:04actors.
06:05It's been widely shared by pro-Ukraine bloggers.
06:07It carries the logo of the Moscow-based Academy of Communication and the QR code links to this
06:13webpage of its Psychological Help Center.
06:16The page is no longer available, but archives show that on September 2nd, it displayed the same
06:21advice as seen on the pamphlet.
06:23The Center's director, Alena Cechulina, has since published this video on Telegram, claiming
06:28that the Academy's website was hacked and that false information was then published.
06:33In a statement, the Academy claims the false pamphlets were distributed to bloggers and
06:38it requests that those responsible for the disinformation be brought to justice.
06:42We were unable to independently verify these claims, but the fact that an identical leaflet
06:47was first used to attack Ukraine suggests this could be a counter-campaign conducted by pro-Ukraine
06:54actors.
06:59¿Qué países de la UE tienen más escasez de personal sanitario?
07:03La Organización Mundial de la Salud prevé que faltarán más de 4 millones de trabajadores
07:14sanitarios de aquí a 2030.
07:17Los bajos salarios y las malas condiciones laborales son factores que se citan con frecuencia para
07:23el desajuste entre la oferta y la demanda.
07:26En 2023 había unos 3,7 millones de enfermeras y 172.000 matronas en ejercicio en la UE.
07:35Irlanda tenía más enfermeras por número de habitantes en la UE con 1.366, seguida de
07:41Finlandia con 1.262 y Alemania con 1.225 enfermeras por cada 100.000 residentes.
07:48Rumanía registró la proporción más baja con 100 enfermeras por cada 100.000 habitantes.
07:59Le siguieron Croacia con 252 y Grecia con 219 enfermeras.
08:08Lituania y Letonia fueron los únicos países de la UE en los que el porcentaje de enfermeras
08:14de 55 años o más superó el 40%.
08:17Por otra parte, los porcentajes más elevados de enfermeras jóvenes menores de 35 años
08:23se registraron en Croacia, Países Bajos, Malta y España.
08:28No, the head of France's intelligence agency has not resigned.
08:35Claims that the head of France's domestic intelligence agency, Céline Berton, resigned
08:40emerged online and gained traction over the summer.
08:43Users relayed screenshots of an article which they alleged was published by French newspaper
08:47Le Monde in late July.
08:49Some posts on X garnered more than 200,000 views, while the allegations also appeared on
08:54LinkedIn posts and online blogs.
08:56Online users claimed Berton was forced to resign after the intelligence agency she helmed was
09:02found to have enabled illicit cryptocurrency operations, which eventually threatened the
09:07collapse of the euro.
09:08Users also alleged that these so-called untraceable funds could be used by the French state to crack
09:13down on protests, such as the mass demonstrations expected in the autumn.
09:18They based their claims on reporting by Le Monde and the AFP agency.
09:22But these screenshots of the article are fake.
09:25Neither media ever published these claims.
09:28Disinformation actors assert the article has since been suspiciously deleted.
09:32But Euroverify did not detect any evidence that Le Monde ever published this article.
09:37Céline Berton took office in January 2024 and has not resigned.
09:41Initially, when users clicked on the story on social media, it directed them to an online
09:46phishing scam.
09:47But over the course of the summer, the scam disappeared, with the fake news about Berton's
09:51resignation becoming the centerpiece.
09:54The disinformation was shared on the Kremlin-aligned Pravda network.
09:58It was also posted on a blog run by French man Cyril Delatre, who lives in Russia and appears
10:03on Russian state TV as a commentator.
10:05This is not the first time that French intelligence services have been targeted by Russian disinformation
10:11campaigns.
10:12Céline Berton has previously spoken out about the threats that Russia poses to French democracy,
10:17as well as the need to question claims on social media.
10:23Con el comienzo del nuevo curso escolar, ¿cómo afecta a la calidad de la enseñanza la escasez
10:28de profesores?
10:29Los niños de toda la Unión Europea vuelven en masa a la escuela.
10:38Sin embargo, las escuelas de varios estados miembros informan de la falta de profesores.
10:43En Francia, falta al menos un profesor en más de la mitad de los centros públicos y tres
10:48cuartas partes de los centros de enseñanza media y secundaria informaron de un equipo
10:52incompleto.
10:53En Portugal, más de 3.000 clases no tienen el horario completo, siendo las clases de inglés,
10:58portugués y geografía las más afectadas.
11:02Mientras tanto, en las escuelas francófonas de Bélgica el problema es más persistente
11:06en los centros de secundaria, donde falta hasta una cuarta parte de los profesores necesarios.
11:11La Unesco estimó que más del 90% de la escasez de profesores estimada en Europa y Norteamérica
11:17se debe al abandono de la profesión.
11:20La escasez de profesores es costosa, repercute en la carga de trabajo y puede disuadir a las
11:24generaciones futuras de incorporarse a la profesión, lo que puede crear un ciclo de
11:28educación de baja calidad, perpetuando las desigualdades educativas.
11:33La falta de profesionales también repercute en el tiempo que los niños pasan en clase.
11:37De media, el número total de horas recomendadas en la educación general obligatoria a tiempo
11:42completo es de 7.868 horas.
11:45Sin embargo, el total se situó por debajo de la media en 22 sistemas educativos para
11:50el curso 2024-2025.
