00:18Mávê MacMahon e esse é Europe Today.
00:22Your daily dose of European news and analysis live here.
00:28Almost four years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine,
00:33more peace talks are set to take place in Geneva today between the Russians and the Ukrainians.
00:39The stakes are high, but expectations remain low,
00:42with President Trump piling pressure on Ukraine to budge
00:47while Russia continues its bombardment on Ukrainian civilians.
00:50U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, though, did tell the Munich Security Conference
00:54that he is still uncertain whether Russia is genuinely serious about ending the war in Ukraine.
01:00For more, we're joined here on SESH by our Ukraine correspondent, Sasha Vakudin.
01:04Good morning, Sasha.
01:05Look, first, any expectations for the talks today in Geneva?
01:09Well, the talks are taking place after two rounds in Abu Dhabi.
01:12We do have the third round of two-day talks in Geneva.
01:16These are trilateral format.
01:17This is Ukraine, the U.S. and Russia.
01:20And this is very important that they are taking place.
01:22Now, we've heard from the Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov,
01:25that he said that Moscow delegation intends to raise specifically the issues of territories,
01:31which is, of course, the most important sticking point there.
01:34When it comes to the Ukrainian delegation,
01:35Volodymyr Zelensky said that he intends also to raise the issue of possibility of energy ceasefire.
01:42Let's take a listen to what he had to say about that.
01:44The more evil Russia is, the more difficult it will be to reach an agreement with them.
01:52Our partners must be aware of this.
01:54This applies above all to the United States.
01:57Soon, we will mark a year of Ukraine's most active diplomacy.
02:00We have agreed to all of America's realistic proposals,
02:03starting with the proposal to ceasefire unconditionally and for the long term.
02:07Russia rejects this, continuing its assaults on the front lines
02:11and strikes on our cities and energy infrastructure.
02:19President Zelensky there.
02:21And meanwhile, President Zelensky is calling for more sanctions against Russia, Sasha.
02:24He is indeed.
02:25In a bigger picture, what he's asking for the partners from the United States
02:28and from the European Union is to increase this pressure on Russia.
02:32Because even on the day when the talks are starting in Geneva,
02:35this morning, Russia attacked Ukraine once again,
02:38specifically targeting civilian energy infrastructure in Western Ukraine.
02:42So he is asking to increase pressure.
02:44And this time, he said, with all of the sanctions that the United States
02:47already implemented on Rosneft and Lukoil,
02:50he says now it is time for Washington to sanction Russia's nuclear energy
02:54and also people involved.
02:56And here President Zelensky dropped the F word there and the F bomb may
03:01when he said it is time for the people involved to go away to Russia, go home.
03:06You don't respect anybody in the United States.
03:09You don't respect the rules.
03:10You don't respect democracy.
03:11You don't respect Ukraine or Europe.
03:14So he does insist that these people should be under sanctions
03:17and they should not be allowed to be making money and staying
03:20and financing the lifestyle of themselves,
03:22of their families in Europe and the United States,
03:25while at the same time also financing Russia's war against Ukraine.
03:28OK, President Zelensky, they're not mincing his words.
03:32Sasha Vakalina, thank you so much for that update.
03:35And of course, this talk's taking place today in Geneva about Iran as well.
03:40So for more updates, do take a look at yournews.com
03:42and for more of Sasha Vakalina's reporting.
03:44But now, €5 billion.
03:47That's the amount member states of former US President Donald Trump's
03:51so-called Board of Peace have pledged
03:53for reconstruction and humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
03:56The European Union is considering joining as an observer
03:59and the EU Commissioner Dubrovska-Suiza is set to travel to Washington DC
04:03for the Board's first ever meeting.
04:05This, as Italy and Romania prepare to join as observers as well,
04:10stopping short of full membership.
04:12For more on Italy's motive, we can cross over to Rome now
04:14and bring in our correspondent, Giorgio Orlandi.
04:17Good morning, Giorgia.
04:18Thank you so much for joining us.
04:20And we understand there's a big debate scheduled today
04:22in Parliament over this.
04:24Tell us more.
04:27That's right, Maeve.
04:28So Italy's Foreign Minister Tajani is going to address Parliament
04:31on the government's decision to join Trump's proposed Board of Peace
04:35as an observer.
04:36Now, this proposal has been described by Italy's Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni
04:40as, quote, a good solution,
04:42because it would allow to overcome those constitutional issues
04:45that Italy could face as a full member.
04:48Tajani had a meeting with Salvini and Meloni yesterday
04:51to decide how to present this to Parliament,
04:54because clearly this is very crucial.
04:55The government has come under a lot of criticism lately.
04:59Tajani said and has repeated that Italy cannot join as a full member
05:03because this would go against the Constitution.
05:05He pointed to Article 11 of the Constitution,
05:08which says that Italy cannot be part of those organizations
05:11unless there are conditions of equality with other states,
05:14which would not apply here.
05:16But Tajani said, quote, that Italy will move forward as the EU.
05:22Now, it's interesting because, according to reports in the Italian media,
05:25it's not yet clear who's going to travel to Washington.
05:28It's very possible that Tajani will travel to Washington instead of Meloni
05:33as a way for the country to maintain a relatively low profile
05:37compared with other countries.
05:39German Chancellor Mez is not joining the board
05:42and is not traveling to Washington.
05:44The EU, as you mentioned,
05:45is sending the commissioner for the Mediterranean,
05:48and Greece is sending the deputy foreign minister.
05:52So, clearly, Italy wants to maintain a low profile,
05:56but the main argument is Italy wants to be present no matter what,
06:00even symbolically.
06:01And this is sending shockwaves through Parliament.
06:03Italy's opposition parties say it goes against the Constitution
06:07and argue that Italy is the only G7 country
06:10that is joining the board, even as an observer.
06:13And they're saying that there should have been
06:15a proper parliamentary debate ahead of this decision.
06:19Maeve?
06:19We should expect some lively discussions today.
06:22But, of course, Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney here,
06:24she's trying to hold on to her position
06:25as the unofficial interlocutor between the EU and Trump.
06:31Indeed, Maeve.
06:32So, we know that when it comes to EU-US relations
06:35and this special relationship between Trump and Maloney,
06:38of course, Maloney has been trying to play this role
06:41as a mediator between the two sides.
06:43But the context here has slightly changed.
06:46I was speaking to a political analyst yesterday
06:48who told me that it's interesting to focus on
06:52who's not going to be there this time around.
06:54Germany is not going to be there.
06:55France is not going to be there.
06:57The EU said that as an institution,
07:00it will not join the board,
07:01raising questions over its governance and charter.
07:04So, clearly, it seems that Italy faces
07:07a very delicate balancing act here,
07:10potentially facing issues both internally and externally.
07:13And the question, Maeve, is, is Maloney still in this role?
07:17And is Maloney acting in Italy's interests or the EU's?
07:20Well, the answer to that question is not there yet.
07:24We'll see what's going to happen.
07:25But clearly, according to observers,
07:27while consolidating this special relationship with Trump,
07:31Maloney should be really careful
07:32not to step away from multilateralism
07:35and weaken its position within the EU.
07:38Maeve?
07:39OK, Dordor Landy, our Rome correspondent,
07:41thank you so much for that live update.
07:43And you mentioned, of course,
07:44Commissioner Suisa heading to DC this week.
07:46She'll be live with us very soon in the studio
07:48to update on that trip.
07:49But now, moving on,
07:51French President Emmanuel Macron
07:52is on a three-day visit to India
07:54to focus on defence, trade and AI.
07:57This Tuesday marks three weeks to the day
08:00since the EU signed the, quote,
08:01mother of all deals with Powerhouse India.
08:04With relations with the current US administration on ice,
08:08Brussels was keen to get the deal over the line quickly,
08:10a 30-chapter document that took decades to finalise.
08:14For the latest, we can now cross over
08:15to the Indian embassy right here in Brussels,
08:18where our EU news editor, Maria Tadeo,
08:20is standing by for us this morning.
08:22Good morning, Maria.
08:23What's the latest from the embassy there?
08:27Good morning, Maeve.
08:28Of course, India and our strategic relationship
08:30to the European Union,
08:31and you alluded to the summit taking place,
08:34hosted by Prime Minister Modi,
08:35but also what is interesting
08:36is to see this major European delegation
08:38participating to the French President,
08:41but also the Spanish Prime Minister
08:43among that European delegation.
08:45And to debrief, I'm happy to say
08:46we're joined by India's ambassador
08:48to the EU, Ambassador Kumar.
08:50Thank you very much for joining us on Euronews.
08:53I have to ask you about the summit in India,
08:56but before we get to that point,
08:58why this relationship now?
09:00Is it a necessity,
09:01or is there really strategic thinking
09:03between the ties of the EU and India?
09:06It definitely is a strategic thinking.
09:10We live in a multipolar world today.
09:13EU and India are important poles
09:16in the configuration,
09:18and for us, it is important,
09:20as two important poles
09:21of the multipolar global order,
09:23to cooperate with each other,
09:26and not only for our mutual benefit,
09:28but for the global stability also.
09:31Just to pick up on that point,
09:32the reason why I asked,
09:33is this born out of necessity,
09:35or is it strategic,
09:36is because some would argue
09:37there's been much closer ties
09:39because of President Trump,
09:41and the chaos at some point
09:42that he's unleashed in some ways
09:44with tariffs,
09:45not just in India,
09:46but also in the European Union.
09:47But if I understand correctly,
09:49what you're saying is,
09:50regardless of who's in the White House,
09:51this is a relationship
09:52that will grow in time.
09:54Yeah.
09:55India-EU relationship
09:57stands on its own feet.
10:00Geopolitical environment,
10:01of course,
10:02has an impact on everything,
10:05but our relationship
10:07has its own merit.
10:08And on that point,
10:09you speak about the relationship.
10:11We were in India
10:11when this mother of all trade deals
10:13were signed.
10:15The two sides talked about
10:16a deal that is uncommon now
10:18in this geopolitical context,
10:19and that is a win-win.
10:20But for that to become a real win
10:22when you need to implement it,
10:24when are we going to see
10:25the deal being implemented,
10:26both in the European Union,
10:28but also to that extent in India?
10:30We are ready.
10:32So as long,
10:33as quickly as the EU
10:34is able to complete
10:35its internal processes,
10:37we would be in a position
10:38to sign the deal.
10:39Do you worry, however,
10:40about the speed
10:41when it comes to
10:42the different levels in Europe?
10:44The European Parliament
10:46has questions, of course.
10:47They always do,
10:48and that is part
10:48of the democratic process.
10:49But is this something
10:50that worries you
10:51that perhaps by 2027
10:53we'll still talk about
10:54a hypothetical deal,
10:55not a real deal?
10:56No, we are very confident
10:57that the deal
10:58would be signed very quickly.
10:59And is there a timeline
11:00still that you're working with,
11:02a best-case scenario?
11:03It would be unfair
11:04on my part
11:05to speculate timelines.
11:08It is really
11:09for the European Union
11:10to decide.
11:11But my understanding
11:12is that both the sides
11:14would be working fast
11:15to see that this deal
11:18is signed as quickly
11:18as possible.
11:20And, Ambassador,
11:21this week,
11:21as I mentioned
11:22at the start,
11:23there is a big
11:23European delegation
11:24in India.
11:25There is an AI summit
11:26that will be taking place.
11:28And, of course,
11:28the French president
11:29is part of that delegation
11:31there for three days.
11:32To me,
11:33and I just came back
11:34from the Munich
11:34Security Conference,
11:35there's this term
11:36that I hear a lot
11:37and that is de-risking
11:38the European economy,
11:40both now from China
11:41but also the United States,
11:42which is funny
11:43and unthinkable
11:43a few years ago.
11:44What role can India play?
11:46Because, to me,
11:46it seems this is
11:47what this trip is about,
11:48is de-risking
11:49the European economy.
11:52Over-dependencies
11:53are not good.
11:55There is need
11:56to have redundancies
11:58built in supply chains
12:00to have multiple options.
12:02And the consequences
12:04of over-concentration
12:06of supply chain,
12:07both of the sides,
12:08both of us,
12:09and, in fact,
12:10the world at large
12:11has experienced.
12:12So, I think
12:14the India-EU FTA
12:15is very, very important
12:17also from the point
12:18of view
12:18of de-risking
12:21our respective economies,
12:23building in redundancies,
12:25having more
12:27manufacturing options.
12:29And I think
12:29in this respect,
12:31also,
12:31I think the deal
12:32would serve
12:33a very useful purpose.
12:35And, Ambassador,
12:37beyond,
12:37and, of course,
12:38this AI summit
12:38seems to now
12:39signal that this
12:40is a relationship
12:41that goes not just straight,
12:42but is going to go
12:43into potential technology
12:45and, most crucially,
12:46defense.
12:47For India,
12:48it is also a geopolitical
12:49complex moment
12:51in a neighborhood
12:51that is difficult
12:52to handle.
12:53We've seen also
12:54India purchase
12:54big weapons
12:55from the French
12:56in particular.
12:58Do you look
12:58at this relationship
12:59as one that becomes
13:01almost defensive
13:02at some point?
13:04So, let me tell you,
13:05we have around
13:0720 presidents
13:08and prime ministers
13:09participating
13:10in the AI summit
13:12and, of them,
13:1311 are from Europe.
13:15So, that speaks
13:16for itself.
13:18Technology
13:18and defense,
13:19I think,
13:20are a very,
13:20very important area.
13:23A lot of progress
13:24was made,
13:25both on the
13:27technological front
13:28as well as
13:29on the defense side
13:30during the
13:31recently concluded
13:32summit,
13:33which opens
13:33a new phase
13:34in India-EU
13:35relationship.
13:36So, you're right
13:37in saying that
13:38as we go
13:39further,
13:41defense,
13:41particularly
13:41defense industries
13:43and technological
13:44aspect,
13:46would become
13:46more and more
13:47critical and important
13:48to India-EU
13:49relationship.
13:50Well, Ambassador Kumar,
13:51thank you very much.
13:52Of course,
13:53that week
13:54and that trip
13:54that we'll be
13:55monitoring on
13:56Euronews,
13:56the French president
13:57but also the Spanish
13:58prime minister
13:59is a relationship
13:59that goes now
14:00beyond trade
14:01but interestingly now
14:02is becoming
14:03more and more
14:03defensive
14:04with big contracts
14:05of course
14:05for European companies.
14:06looking to sign
14:07in India.
14:08Maeve.
14:09Okay, Maria Tadeo,
14:10thank you so much
14:10for that and of course
14:11to the Ambassador Kumar
14:12as well for joining us.
14:14Now, after a busy
14:15weekend at the
14:16Munich Security Conference,
14:17the US Secretary of State
14:18Marco Rubio has moved
14:19on to Central Europe,
14:21namely Budapest.
14:22With elections coming up
14:23in Hungary in April,
14:24Marco Rubio was keen
14:25to show his support
14:26for current Prime Minister
14:28Viktor Orban
14:28who's losing ground
14:29in the polls
14:30to his opponent
14:31Peter Mayer.
14:32For more,
14:32our Hungarian correspondent
14:33Sander Diros
14:34joins me now
14:35in the studio.
14:36Sander,
14:36bring us up to speed
14:37first on this
14:38Marco Rubio-Orban
14:40get-together in Budapest.
14:41Good morning, Maeve.
14:42So first of all,
14:43Marco Rubio made
14:44a mini trip
14:45to Central Europe.
14:46He visited
14:47Robert Fico
14:47in Slovakia
14:48and then he went
14:49to Hungary
14:49to see Viktor Orban.
14:51Those are two
14:52Trump-supporting leaders
14:54and they are
14:55very, very critical
14:56towards Brussels.
14:57So this is
14:58the ideological context.
14:59And for Hungary,
15:00it was clearly
15:01a campaign visit.
15:02He delivered
15:03a supportive message
15:05to Orbán
15:06from Donald Trump.
15:07He said that
15:08the US-Hungarian
15:09relations
15:09are in a golden era
15:11and this is
15:12extremely beneficial
15:13to the Hungarians.
15:15He said that
15:15Hungary could even
15:16get a financial package
15:18if the country
15:19would ever be
15:19in trouble.
15:21And he framed it
15:22this is only
15:23because of the
15:24friendship
15:24between Trump
15:25and Orbán.
15:27So we don't know
15:28whether or not
15:29Trump will visit
15:30in person Hungary
15:31during the campaign.
15:32It's not confirmed.
15:33But Rubio
15:34already delivered
15:35the message
15:35and he also said
15:37to Orbán
15:37that we want you
15:38to continue.
15:39Take a look
15:40of what he said.
15:41President Trump
15:42is deeply committed
15:43to your success
15:44because your success
15:45is our success.
15:46Because this relationship
15:47we have here
15:48in Central Europe
15:49through you
15:49is so essential
15:50and vital
15:51for our national interests
15:52in the years to come.
15:54Marco Rubio there.
15:55And Sander,
15:56how will President Trump's
15:56support for Orbán
15:58impact the election?
15:59And also tell us
15:59how is Peter Maillard doing?
16:01He seems a little bit
16:02emboldened
16:03after that scandal
16:04we discussed
16:04just last week.
16:05Well, it's not clear
16:06for the moment
16:07whether or not
16:08Trump's support
16:09will impact
16:10the Hungarian
16:11electoral campaign
16:12and the voters.
16:13But one thing is sure
16:14that Viktor Orbán
16:15clearly focuses
16:16on foreign affairs.
16:18He doesn't deal
16:18with domestic issues
16:20but he's always
16:21talking about
16:21how the geopolitical
16:24instability
16:24impacts Hungary
16:26and Hungary
16:26needs stability
16:27which he represents.
16:29and he often argues
16:30that he's friends
16:31with Trump
16:32he knows Putin
16:33very well
16:34so he's a safe choice.
16:36And now
16:39talking about
16:40the campaign
16:42it's not clear
16:43you know
16:43how this will impact
16:45but there was
16:46one very interesting
16:47journalistic question
16:48at the press conference
16:49they asked
16:50Orbán
16:51whether or not
16:52he will give up
16:53power
16:53if he's losing elections
16:55and here is
16:56what he had to say.
16:57I spent 16 years
16:59as leader of opposition
17:00what does it mean?
17:01It means that
17:02sometimes I lose
17:03sometimes I win
17:04so don't afraid
17:05what will be
17:06if we are not winning
17:07because it's
17:08regularly happened here
17:09at least four times already.
17:11Victor Orban there
17:12and before that
17:13that was our
17:14Chandler Zeros reporting
17:15but now
17:16it is time
17:17to park
17:18politics for a moment
17:19and focus on
17:20something completely
17:20different
17:21a topic
17:22that might
17:22tickle your curiosity
17:23if you dream
17:24of a European career
17:25in the EU institutions.
17:27This year's
17:27EPSO
17:28is finally opening
17:29its largest
17:30recruitment drive ever.
17:31Letizia Batista
17:32and Jakob Janis report.
17:36Is seven
17:37a big number?
17:38Taking seven months
17:39to land a job
17:40in the EU quarter
17:41is sometimes
17:42considered a speed run
17:44but a seven year wait
17:45for the EU's
17:46biggest job exam
17:47does an eternity
17:48and it has been
17:50seven years
17:51since the last
17:52massive
17:53general
17:53entry level
17:54recruitment exam
17:55for the EU institutions
17:57and all
17:58EU citizens
17:59are welcome
18:00to apply
18:00but the competition
18:01is fierce.
18:02so before you
18:03pack your bucks
18:04for Brussels
18:05here is your
18:06survival guide
18:07to Europe's
18:08most elite exam.
18:11About 50,000 people
18:12are expected
18:13to apply
18:14before the 10th
18:15of March deadline
18:16so get in line
18:17and there are only
18:191,400 spots
18:21meaning the success rate
18:22is a brutal 3%.
18:24Ouch!
18:25And to win
18:26candidates
18:26must survive
18:28rigorous online tests
18:29in reasoning
18:30and in deep EU knowledge.
18:32but the price
18:33is a famous
18:34EU contract
18:35for life
18:36with a starting
18:37salary
18:37of nearly
18:386,000 euros
18:39and that money
18:41is subject
18:42to internal
18:42EU institutions
18:44tax
18:44but completely
18:45exempt from
18:46national income
18:47taxes.
18:48However
18:48the testing
18:49system itself
18:50is quite
18:51controversial
18:51recent tech
18:53glitches
18:53and AI
18:54translation errors
18:55actually voided
18:5610,000 exam results
18:58and that's a lot
19:00finally
19:01the results
19:01show a geographic
19:03imbalance
19:0315 countries
19:04including Poland
19:05and Germany
19:06are simply
19:07not getting
19:07a fair share
19:08of EU jobs
19:09based on
19:10their population
19:11size
19:11so
19:12does this whole
19:13setup
19:14even make sense
19:15anymore?
19:15in a recent
19:16Euronews survey
19:18most respondents
19:19actually said
19:20no
19:20to the idea
19:21of EU jobs
19:22for life
19:23arguing
19:23they shouldn't
19:24depend on
19:25a single
19:25one-off exam
19:26but if you are
19:28taking the test
19:29this March
19:29good luck
19:30and let's just
19:31hope the exam's
