08:50peace with something else, which is more the expression of a new empire or an empire unveiled
08:58than multilateralism. But again, there is a movement that doesn't want it and in fact is
09:03pushing for a decolonized multilateralism. And this is what we have to work on.
09:10And what about the UN Security Council? Do you think it's a little bit obsolete?
09:13Well, I think that there are parts of the UN Security Council that are obsolete. One for all
09:19is the veto power. The veto power reflects the world order of the past century. We need the
09:26decolonized multilateralism where each state has one vote. And it's not about adding new members
09:32who can have a veto. It's about removing the veto. Okay, Francesca Albanese, UN Special Reporter there.
09:39Thank you so much for joining us here on Europe Today on Euronews. But now moving on, President
09:44Donald Trump has warned Iran that it must make a deal over its nuclear program or, quote,
09:50really bad things will happen. Trump says in 10 or 15 days, the US will take some sort of action.
09:57For The View from Brussels, we're joined here on set now by Tommy Houtanen, director of the
10:01Wilfrid Martin Centre. That's a think tank based here in Brussels, affiliated with the centre-right
10:05European People's Party. Tommy, good morning.
10:08Good morning. Pleasure to be here.
10:09Yeah, great to have you with us. Look, what is The View from Brussels here?
10:12There is another war on the horizon.
10:14You mentioned Trump. It may be so that even Trump doesn't know exactly what's going to happen.
10:20My guess and what I'm discussing with Washington is that there are going to be an action.
10:25There are going to be a war. It's going to last maybe 24 or the heat is going to take
10:3124, 48 hours.
10:32What is more unclear is what will happen after. I think the risk is a little bit there that
10:36in the ground there's a huge expectation that the US is going to stay there.
10:41I don't think so. And then there's a question, how is the follow-up? There will be ground
10:45operation. Israelis are going to be involved sooner or later. But what will happen? That's
10:51the question.
10:52And of course, the wider implications then.
10:54Exactly. I think, you know, in Europe, we need to understand what the possibility this
10:58is. Because if you look at Iran, Iran is in the current regime is in war with its own
11:03people. It's creating havoc in the region, but also it's in conflict with Europe, helping Russia,
11:10you know, children in Kiev are dying because of the Iranese thrones. And I think that what you can
11:17say is that there's a massive possibility for massive change on how the whole Moscow, Teheran,
11:24Beijing actually is going to work out. And I think it gives a new opportunities for us
11:29to enhance our power.
11:31So what is the role then that the European Union can play here?
11:34Well, that's a good question. First of all, you know, what will happen if and when there
11:38is a hit? If there is a civil war kind of situation, unfortunately, the tools are very
11:43little. But on the other hand, if there is a kind of Syria kind of quick switch or quick
11:49change, we could assume that the Europeans will get very quickly involved. President Mitchell
11:57has already very clearly stated on behalf of the parliament that we are with the people
12:00that are already made the initiative on opening the embassies, you know, for demonstrators.
12:08That's an indication that we would be very quickly involved. However, I don't think that
12:12there's a strategy and thinking yet, but I think there's a political commitment and understanding
12:17that that's a moment for us, for Europe to come in and really fix the Middle East.
12:21And meanwhile, you're on the phone, you said, close contacts with your contacts in DC.
12:25Yes, yes, indeed. But of course, it's all about the president and what the president finally
12:31decides. Nobody knows for sure. And maybe even the president himself doesn't know.
12:37Well, whatever the president does decide, we will report it here on your news.
12:40Tommy Houten, and thank you so much for joining us here this morning on Europe today and for
12:44bringing us your analysis there from the Wilfrid Martin Center. But now moving on, Christine
12:50Lagarde is expected to leave the European Central Bank in Frankfurt before her eight-year term
12:56as president expires in October 2027. Europe's top central banker, who joined the bank back in 2019
13:02from the International Monetary Fund, wants to exit before the French presidential election
13:07in April next year. For more on what this all could mean, our Ida Sanchez takes a look.
13:13Big changes are coming for the European Central Bank. After months of speculation, rumors that
13:20Christine Lagarde, the head of the ECB, will step down, are coming true.
13:28Europe's top bank in Frankfurt said that the decision had yet to be made. But why would Christine
13:34Lagarde want to live early?
13:43Reports suggest that a possible goodbye would leave room to French President Emmanuel Macron
13:48and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to choose a successor before the French presidential elections.
13:55This would give them time to oversee the appointment of her successor, giving the current leadership
14:01of Europe's top two economies the chance to shape the future of the European monetary policy.
14:08Who would want to take her position? Spain might be one of the countries ready to step in.
14:15Spain wants to play a leading role in the new council once the remaining positions are renewed.
14:20We are prepared should this situation or decision come earlier.
14:25And they are not the only one, as Klasnot, the former Dutch Central Bank chief, might also be interested.
14:38Ida Sanchez reporting there. And for more, of course, on what that could mean for the future of the EU
14:42institutions
14:43and who will run them, do take a look at our reporting on euronews.com.
14:47But for now, a story that everybody is talking about. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the former British prince
14:54and brother of King Charles, has been photographed on his way home after spending some 12 hours being
15:00questioned by police in Norfolk yesterday. Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
15:07For more on this major scandal facing the royal family, we can bring in our culture editor, our very own
15:12Toks Salico.
15:13Good morning, Toks. Great to have you with us here this morning.
15:16Look, this is a huge, it's a huge scandal, Toks. Just bring us up to speed on the latest.
15:21It is a huge scandal, as you rightly said, Maeve.
15:24It's sent shockwaves across the UK, which, let's face it, is used to hearing about scandals from the royal family.
15:32But also anything that happens there sends shockwaves across the rest of the world.
15:37The latest is, as you said, that Prince Andrew was released late last night.
15:42It was roughly around 12 hours after his arrest.
15:45No charges have been made regarding the suspicion of misconduct in public office.
15:53And the raid that took place at his Berkshire home is still continuing 24 hours after.
16:01That's at the Royal Lodge on the Windsor Estate, of course.
16:06But it's not the search which was taking place at his current home.
16:11Hopefully, viewers can stay with me at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where he was arrested.
16:17That search has ended.
16:20But we don't know what's going to come from those searches.
16:23Of course, we do know that police have been looking for papers in relation to his former role as the
16:29UK Trade Envoy,
16:31a role that he had for roughly around five or six years.
16:34And we should make it clear, of course, that Andrew Mountbatten-Winter has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to
16:41Geoffrey Epstein,
16:42the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender.
16:46What we also understand now is that the king, neither the king nor Buckingham Palace, had any knowledge of the
16:54arrest before the raid.
16:55However, the Home Secretary was informed by the National Police Chiefs Council, which has issued a statement as well this
17:04morning,
17:05saying that it was in line with routine practice.
17:08It alerted its operational colleagues.
17:11No word yet from number 10, though, some might say, perhaps surprisingly.
17:16But unsurprisingly, Donald Trump has had a few words to say.
17:19He's described it as a very sad thing, adding that it's a shame as US lawmakers and survivors in the
17:27US, of course, are still calling for justice.
17:30And interesting, Tokes, you mentioned it took the royal family by surprise there.
17:33I mean, what does this all mean for the monarchy, who are much loved in the UK?
17:38They are still much loved, despite their crisis.
17:42I mean, often in these situations, we talk about, you know, what must the mood music be like?
17:47And I would imagine perhaps in Buckingham Palace there might be a mix between sort of, you know, embarrassment by
17:53madness or he ain't heavy, he's my brother.
17:56We read, of course, some of you would have seen the statement from King Charles yesterday, making it clear that
18:02no one is above the law.
18:05He called for the law and the investigation to be carried out.
18:09Interestingly, though, as I mentioned, there's been no real statement from number 10, but Sir Keir Starmer did appear on
18:17television yesterday, roughly around the same time, as Andrew Mountbatten was being arrested, but it wasn't reported at that time.
18:27And he also made it clear that in the eventual possibility of action being taken against Andrew, that no one
18:36would be against above the law.
18:39But make no mistake, even though charges haven't been issued yet, this is an enormous crisis for the royal family
18:48and as well for the monarchy.
18:50I don't think there's been actually an arrest in the royal family.
18:55They've had some good behaviour for nigh on about five or six hundred years now.
18:59I think the last one was in 1605.
19:01Princess Anne was perhaps the last royal member to actually have been charged when she had a conviction for her
19:10dog biting somebody.
19:12But seeing as he's eighth in line to the throne, it could be a crisis.
19:18Thank you so much for that live update there on a story that is extremely embarrassing, embarrassing, of course, for
19:24the royal family.
19:25But that does bring this edition of Europe Today to an end.
19:28Thank you so much for your company.
