00:07United States.
00:10The EU will send the Commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Shritsa, to represent the EU at the first meeting of
00:17Trump's Board of Peace in Washington on Thursday.
00:20The EU must not misinterpret the US Secretary of State's speech at the Munich Security Conference, warned Fabrice Poitier, CEO
00:27of think tank Rasmussen Global, on your news.
00:30The aftermath of a deadly storm continued to disrupt parts of France on Sunday, with a record flood alert still
00:36in effect in the southwest.
00:40Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Arakti arrived in Geneva ahead of a second round of negotiations between his country and the
00:47United States.
00:49Tehran says indirect Iran-US nuclear talks mediated by Oman will also be held on Tuesday.
00:56Washington is expected to seek to expand the context of the meeting to include Iran's ballistic missiles and its vast
01:02network of proxies in the region.
01:05Tehran and Washington restarted negotiations this month after previous talks collapsed when Israel and Iran were embroiled in a 12
01:12-day conflict in June.
01:14U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Monday that he was hopeful the Oman talks would lead
01:20to a deal.
01:22Uncertainty surrounds the fate of Iran's stockpile of more than 400 kilograms of 60 percent enriched uranium that was last
01:30seen by nuclear watchdog inspectors in June.
01:33A small technical step from the 90 percent enrichment threshold needed for weapons grade.
01:41The EU will send the Commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Shritsa, to represent the EU at the first meeting of
01:47Trump's Board of Peace in Washington on Thursday.
01:50The European Commission has said Shritsa will only participate in a specific part of the meeting dedicated to Gaza and
01:57is not joining as an official sitting member of the Board.
01:59Italy, Romania, Greece and Cyprus have all accepted invitations by the Trump administration to participate as observers.
02:07Only two EU member states, Hungary and Bulgaria, have accepted invitations to sit as members.
02:13An EU official said that the bloc wants to play a role in the reconstruction of Gaza, despite numerous concerns
02:19over the Board's executive setup,
02:22which was initially conceived as a vehicle to rebuild the territory, but now says its mandate is global peace.
02:29The inclusion of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the Board also makes membership politically untenable for most EU countries.
02:40EU top diplomat Kaya Kalas pushed back against U.S. criticism on Sunday as the Munich Security Conference came to
02:46a close.
02:47Kalas dismissed claims made by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who insisted that Europe must defend its civilization.
02:53...history. Contrary to what some may say, woke, decadent Europe is not facing civilizational erasure.
03:01In fact, people still want to join our club, and not just fellow Europeans.
03:08Over 40% of Canadians have an interest in joining the European Union, so the waiting list is quite long.
03:17Kalas acknowledged that while the two powers are intertwined, they clearly do not see eye to eye on all issues.
03:23She urged the European nations to reclaim their agency and take the lead on their own defense in the face
03:29of an aggressive Russia.
03:30...having a seat...
03:31Kalas insisted that Russia is broken rather than a superpower, warning that the greatest threat is Moscow gaining more at
03:38the negotiating table than it did on the battlefield.
03:41Let's be clear-eyed about Russia. Russia is no superpower.
03:46After more than a decade of a conflict, including four years of full-scale war in Ukraine, Russia has barely
03:53advanced beyond the 2014 lines.
03:57...and the cost? 1.2 million casualties.
04:02Today, Russia is broken. Its economy is in shreds.
04:06She called for strict concessions, including capping the size of Russia's military and ensuring it pays for war damages.
04:13And, you know, you have one army that...
04:18The EU must not misinterpret the U.S. Secretary of State's speech at the Munich Security Conference.
04:24This was the warning issued by Fabrice Potier, CEO of think tank Rasmussen Global, during an interview on Euronews show
04:31Europe Today.
04:32Although the tone used by the U.S. Secretary of State was softer, the substance did not indicate a change
04:38of course.
04:39I think nobody was naive in thinking that this is not an olive branch.
04:44This is just a way to make the past few months a bit less painful.
04:51But clearly, the roll ahead, as I mentioned, this is can't be for the next tempest because the roll ahead
04:56is still made of many differences.
04:59I think Ukraine is still lurking very much around the corner in terms of big U.S.-Europe-Ukraine difference.
05:07And Greenland is not completely, in a way, solved.
05:10And I think the Danish Prime Minister was pretty clear about that.
05:13The historical alliance between the U.S. and Europe has been strained since President Donald Trump took office with a
05:20recent U.S. national security strategy
05:23accusing European institutions of anti-democratic restrictions.
05:27Thank you very much.
05:29The aftermath of a deadly storm continued to disrupt parts of France on Sunday, with flooding concerns persisting in the
05:37southwest.
05:38The country's flood alert agency said it had been working around the clock for a month to deal with the
05:44impact of the incessant rains and winter storms.
05:47The latest data from weather service Meteor France shows parts of France have been under an orange or red alert
05:55for 30 days,
05:56with roads and houses flooded after the Garland River burst its banks in the southwest.
06:02Soil moisture levels have reached record highs since data collection began in 1959, local authorities said.
06:10Meanwhile, only days after storm nils, storm Oriana hit Spain over the weekend with torrential rains and strong winds of
06:18up to 166 kilometers per hour.
06:21The storm caused severe disruptions to public transport services.
06:26A red alert was issued in the province of Castillon as hurricane-force winds swept through the region.
06:32The storms have so far caused three deaths in France and Spain, leaving dozens of people injured in weather-related
06:39accidents.
06:42An off-trail avalanche killed two skiers and injured another on Sunday on the Italian side of the Mont Blanc
06:47massif, near the border between France and Switzerland, officials said.
06:51At least three skiers were caught up in Sunday morning's avalanche in the Couloir-Vessay well-known freeride route in
06:56Cormeor, in the upper Valveni, according to Italy's Alpine Rescue.
07:01One of the victims was taken to a hospital in serious condition, but later died.
07:06Fifteen rescuers, three K-9 units and two helicopters took part in the search and rescue efforts.
07:12Cormeor, a town with about 2,900 inhabitants, is some 200 kilometers northwest of Milan, one of the venues hosting
07:19the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.
07:22Another person was partially buried by an avalanche in Trantino, but was rescued by his companions, authorities reported on Sunday.
07:36Two years after Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny's death, a group of relatives and supporters gathered at his grave in
07:44Moscow to pay tribute.
07:46Navalny's mother called for those responsible to be held accountable, commenting on European laboratory tests, which confirmed that Navalny was
07:53poisoned with a rare toxin.
08:20The Kremlin rejected the assessment on Monday, calling it a biased accusation.
08:26Navalny, one of President Vladimir Putin's fiercest opponents, died in an Arctic prison colony in February 2024, while serving a
08:3419-year sentence for extremism.
08:37Dozens of people visited his grave in Moscow early on Monday, among them foreign diplomats.
08:45A new landmark for the city of Kalamata, a giant mural was named the best in the world in 2025.
08:53Artist Cleomenes Kostopoulos chose soprano Maria Callas to represent Kalamata as she has roots there.
08:59It is an allegorical representation of the city.
09:04He says he preferred a more human and natural depiction with elements that connect people to the earth.
09:11The dress he created for Maria Callas symbolizes the blossoming abundance and blessed land of the region.
09:19Maria Callas, the father of her father, has a long-term population from the region of Messyneas.
09:26And this was a part that gave me a lot of confidence to be Maria Callas, but the embodiment of
09:38Kalamata.
09:39The painting is not called Maria Callas, but Kalamata.
09:43Creating the massive work took a month of effort with artists battling bad weather using cranes and sprays to cover
09:50the huge wall.
09:52Local officials say the mural has already become a major landmark and social media attraction.
09:59We are now in a new city of the city.
10:03It is a place of a city of fulfillment.
10:05The people come and photograph you,
10:07the people who are programmed on the trip to come to see the presence of the community.
10:12The hashtag of Kalamata and Maria Callas is now more and more.
10:19We believe that it is a photograph that has been given us,
10:22and it has helped us a lot beyond all the other areas and the tourism development of the city.
10:26The project is part of a larger initiative to bridge art and tradition
10:29as the city worked toward becoming climate-neutral by 2030.
10:35Dana Eden, the co-creator and executive producer of hit TV spy thriller Tehran,
10:41has been found dead in an Athens hotel room, according to local police reports.
10:46The 52-year-old was in Greece filming the fourth season of the show,
10:50which follows a Mossad agent seeking to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb.
10:55The cause of death has not yet been confirmed,
10:58and authorities say a formal investigation has been launched.
11:01Her death sparked rumors on social media over foul play,
11:05given the nature of the show's narrative.
11:08There have also been misleading reports in Israeli media,
11:11stating that Greek police were investigating a possible link to Iran.
11:16International production company Donna & Shula Productions, however,
11:20released a statement dismissing any unfounded rumors about Eden's death.
11:24They've also asked the public to avoid sharing conspiracy theories,
11:28and allowed the TV exec's family and loved ones to grieve in peace.
