00:00Venezuela, Irán y Groenlandia, tres países distantes, coinciden en la convulsa situación internacional.
00:08Jake Sotiriadis, experto en política exterior y exoficial de inteligencia de la Fuerza Aérea de Estados Unidos,
00:14analiza la estrategia del presidente Trump y los mensajes que envía a nivel internacional.
00:30Y creo que realmente demostró dos cosas simultáneos.
00:36Primero, que la United States possuye un mejor operación de capacidad.
00:41Delta Force extracted a sitting head de state de la constitución de un ejército de militares en un tres horas con zero American fatales.
00:49No otro militario en la tierra puede hacer eso.
00:52Y segundo, y quizás más importante, demostró la política política.
00:55President Trump's shown that he's willing to use hard power decisively, but smartly.
01:02Surgical strikes rather than protracted land wars, which is a significant message to every leader that's watching.
01:09Let's change continent. We are moving to the Middle East.
01:12Iran is in turmoil. Do you think that the regime will change?
01:16Iran is a particularly complex situation because the protests already have killed,
01:22or the regime has killed, about 2,000 protesters.
01:26President Trump has threatened military action if this crackdown continues.
01:31At the same time, Iran does have retaliatory capability in terms of striking at U.S. bases in the region.
01:39They also could look at closing the Strait of Hormuz.
01:42But, of course, their proxy network is severely weakened after the military campaigns of 2025.
01:51So I would say that at this point, it looks like the Iranian regime is cornered without many good options.
01:56I would like to ask you about Greenland.
01:58Why is this country becoming a critical geopolitical point for the U.S., Russia and China right now?
02:04It basically controls access to the Arctic and the North American continent.
02:09And so that geographic position is strategic for American security interests,
02:15which is why the U.S. have a military base there, and they've had it since the Second World War.
02:20The second reason is critical resources, so rare earth minerals that are on Greenland.
02:27Those are critical for everything from smartphones to batteries for electric vehicles to military hardware.
02:35And so China right now controls that market, and the United States is looking to Greenland
02:41as a source of additional rare earth minerals to try to change that equation.
02:46And then, of course, the third issue is the great power competition.
02:49Russia has become much more active in Greenland.
02:53And, of course, China has also called itself a near-Arctic nation.
02:58And so, for all of those reasons, the United States realizes whoever controls Greenland
03:02is going to not only control the resources, but also the geographic access for strategic interests in the future.
03:12Italy and Japan have reforzado their strategic association with special attention to the security in the Pacific Pacific.
03:23The first minister italian, Georgia Meloni, is joined with her homologue Japanese
03:28with the 160th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between Rome and Tokyo.
03:34The third visit of Meloni to Japan has been able to elevate the bilateral relations to a special association,
03:43in response to a global scenario characterized by the instability.
03:47The defense and the innovation industrial were in the center of the conversation.
03:52In the United States, both leaders recognized the progress of the global global nuclear program,
03:58the project of caza, the new generation developed together with the United States.
04:03También reiteraron su condena a los programas nucleares de Corea del Norte
04:08y expresaron su preocupación por su cooperación militar con Rusia.
04:33I'm joined on Euronews by Mehran Kamrava, a leading expert on Middle Eastern politics.
04:38Professor, can you explain the mechanics of what's driving the current standoff?
04:42If the Americans were to attack targets inside Iran, then politically the Iranian government
04:49simply cannot afford not to react.
04:53It cannot bear the political costs domestically of looking as if it is incapable of hitting back.
05:03And therefore, it will have to retaliate in one form or another.
05:08This is precisely what we saw in 2020, when the Americans assassinated General Soleimani.
05:16And this is what we saw in June of 2025, when the Israelis and the Americans attacked Iran
05:23and the United States attacked Iranian nuclear facilities.
05:27And so in both of those instances, we saw Iranian retaliation.
05:33And there's no reason to believe that this time would be any different.
05:37If anything, the Iranians this time would want to certainly show that they can throw a much more lethal punch.
05:46And could you explain how any miscalculation now could have serious consequences well beyond Iran and the United States,
05:53especially for countries hosting American forces?
05:55Well, in circumstances like this, rhetoric tends to take a life of its own.
06:02And it becomes extremely difficult for political actors to dial it down.
06:08But I think a sober assessment of the consequences of the day after is what is needed.
06:17And so long as those voices of reason appear and they have the day, they can carry the day,
06:27then I think what we're likely to see is kind of a dialing down of tensions.
06:33I think it's important to keep a couple of things in mind, if I may just elaborate.
06:38A few days ago, everybody thought that the Iranian government was on the verge of collapse,
06:45that the Islamic Republic was a spent force, and it was only a matter of days before it tips over.
06:52And now what we see is that once again, we were too hasty in writing the obituary of the Islamic Republic.
07:00And turning to the situation inside Iran itself, what's your assessment of what's happening on the ground right now amid widespread protests and a heavy security response?
07:10By all accounts, what we hear is that pro-government protesters now by far outnumber anti-government protesters.
07:20Now, I think it's important to remember that in order to be more secure, anti-government protesters come out under the cover of night.
07:32And so it's in the evenings and with the shutdown of the Internet.
07:37It is extremely difficult for us to accurately assess how widespread those protests are.
07:44Regardless of the size of the protests, what we see is that anti-government sentiments, anger, popular anger, is extremely widespread across the country.
07:56For now, Gulf states are watching closely and urging restraint from both Washington and Tehran.

08:07Is Ursula von der Leyen auto-increasing her own salary?
08:14A video recently shared on Instagram claims that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is automatically increasing her own salary.
08:22The claim has resurfaced on social media after being relayed by far-right political figures, including former MEP Florian Philippot,
08:30who quoted an article published by the German newspaper Bild.
08:33In an article from March 2025, Bild reports that EU officials have received their seventh pay raise in three years.
08:40According to publicly available data published by Eurlex, it is true that the salaries of EU officials increased between 2020 and 2025.
08:48But these increases are not the result of a personal decision by Ursula von der Leyen.
08:53They are based on an automatic salary adjustment mechanism adopted in 2013 by the European Parliament and EU member states.
09:00EU staff salaries are updated annually using a formula calculated by Eurostat.
09:05This formula reflects changes in the purchasing power of national civil servants across EU countries.
09:11For example, if the Belgian government increases or decreases the purchasing power of its civil servants,
09:17the salaries of EU officials working in Belgium follow the same trend.
09:21Looking specifically at Ursula von der Leyen's salary,
09:24it is accurate to say that her monthly salary rose from around 28,400 euros in 2020 to approximately 35,800 euros today.
09:33Another claim often heard is that EU officials do not pay taxes.
09:38This is partly misleading.
09:39EU officials do not pay national income tax, but they are subject to EU taxes.
09:44A commission spokesperson told The Cube that it has absolutely no such thing as self-raising salaries.
09:50It added that administrative savings between 2004 and 2025 led to an 11.9% drop in EU staff's real purchasing power
09:58due to staff regulation reforms and salary adjustment cuts.

10:10sobre el uso de la IA en la educación?
10:16Más de la mitad de los encuestados de la UE cree que la IA puede aportar beneficios
10:20y riesgos a la enseñanza y al aprendizaje y que la comunidad educativa debería evaluar
10:24y explorar ambos aspectos. El apoyo es mayor entre los encuestados finlandeses y estonios.
10:29Los hombres son más propensos que las mujeres a creer que la IA puede mejorar la enseñanza
10:32y el aprendizaje y que la comunidad educativa no debe tener miedo a experimentar con ella.
10:36Los encuestados más jóvenes de entre 15 y 24 años también son más propensos que los grupos de más edad
10:41a estar de acuerdo con esta afirmación. Aproximadamente 8 de cada 10 encuestados están muy de acuerdo
10:46o bastante de acuerdo con que todos los profesores deberían estar equipados con las habilidades
10:50necesarias para utilizar y comprender la IA. Los encuestados de Chipre y Malta son los que más
10:55apoyan esta opinión, mientras que solo el 24% de los checos están totalmente de acuerdo con ella.
11:00Aproximadamente 4 de cada 10 encuestados afirman que las escuelas y universidades deberían tener
11:05directrices claras sobre cómo y cuándo utilizar la IA y que se debería ayudar a los profesores a
11:09saber cómo y cuándo utilizar este tipo de herramientas. A pesar de la apertura a la introducción de la IA
11:14en la educación, el 69% de los encuestados está de acuerdo en que los dispositivos digitales
11:18personales como los teléfonos inteligentes deberían estar prohibidos en las escuelas.
11:22Esta opinión coincide con las decisiones tomadas en los últimos años por algunos países europeos
11:26que han introducido medidas para eliminar los teléfonos de los colegios. Al menos 12 países de la UE
11:31han adoptado algún tipo de restricción sobre los teléfonos inteligentes en los centros educativos,
11:36mientras que otros cuatro lo están considerando.
