00:01Kayakalas has accused Hungary of disloyalty after Budapest vetoed a 90 billion euros loan to Ukraine over an unrelated energy
00:08dispute.
00:10British police have arrested former UK ambassador to the United States Peter Mandelson in a misconduct probe stemming from his
00:17ties with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:21EU lawmakers on Monday moved to suspend the EU-US trade agreement.
00:30EU High Representative Kayakalas has sharply accused Hungary of breaching the bloc's principle of sincere cooperation after Budapest unexpectedly decided
00:41to veto a 90 billion euros loan to Ukraine over an unrelated energy dispute.
00:46It's really regrettable that the decision that all countries reached in the European Council, all the leaders, is now that
00:57there is now stepping back from this decision.
01:00It's not really in accordance with the sincere cooperation clause that we have in the treaties.
01:08The dispute relates to the Druzhba pipeline, which crosses Ukraine and brings Russian crude oil to Hungary and Slovakia, thanks
01:15to a sanctions exemption.
01:17The pipeline was severely damaged in January by a drone attack attributed to Russia.
01:23However, both Hungary and Slovakia have blamed Ukraine for the subsequent halt in deliveries.
01:28Hungary has also vetoed a new round of sanctions against Russia.
01:36Hungarian foreign minister Peter Siyarto engaged in a heated exchange with Ukrainian journalists in Brussels after his country said it
01:45would block an emergency loan for Ukraine, as well as sanctions against Moscow.
01:50Budapest accused Ukraine of blackmail over a damaged pipeline used for the transit of Russian oil.
01:55Tomorrow we will mark the fourth anniversary of war in Ukraine, and we hear that Hungary plans not just the
02:03banishment of sanctions package, but also the loan for Ukraine as non-Hungarian European.
02:08I want to ask you why your country hates Ukraine so much and loves Russia so much.
02:14We don't hate Ukraine.
02:16The problem is that the Ukrainian state hates Hungary, and the Ukrainian state carries out an anti-Hungarian political approach
02:23for the last ten years.
02:24Ukraine behaves in a very hostile manner towards Hungary.
02:30Please ask the Ukrainians why they have stopped the oil deliveries to Hungary.
02:35Ask the Ukrainians why they put the security of energy supply of Hungary into risk.
02:43A Ukrainian correspondent then asked him why Hungary continues to buy Russian energy.
02:49Siyarto snapped back, claiming it is Hungary's sovereign right to decide where to purchase energy from.
02:56And this is why Sweden and Finland postponing sanctions against Russia is a failure for Europe, Sweden's foreign minister, Maria
03:04Malmer-Stenergaard, said on Euronews morning show Europe Today.
03:08Her comments came just before Hungary blocked new EU sanctions against Russia for the second time in 24 hours.
03:18I think it's a shame how they behave.
03:21I mean, every delay that we have in the adoption of a sanctions package is a failure for Europe.
03:28We need to increase the support for Ukraine.
03:31We need to increase the pressure on Russia, hence the sanctions.
03:34And I expect them to behave like Europeans today, but I'm not sure.
03:40EU foreign ministers gathered in Brussels to finalize the 20th round of sanctions against Moscow.
03:46The aim was to approve the package in time for Tuesday, marking four years since Russia's full-scale invasion of
03:52Ukraine.
03:53Last week, Hungary and Slovakia announced they were suspending diesel exports to Ukraine,
03:58accusing Kiev of deliberately restricting Russian oil flows through the Druzhba pipeline.
04:03The move risks complicating the unanimity required among all 27 member states to adopt fresh sanctions.
04:15British police have arrested former UK ambassador to the United States, Peter Mandelson,
04:21in a misconduct probe stemming from his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
04:26London Metropolitan Police said its officers had arrested a 72-year-old man
04:32on suspicion of misconduct in public office at an address in North London.
04:36They did not name him, in keeping with traditional British police practice,
04:41but the suspect was already previously identified as Mandelson.
04:45Police are investigating him over allegations he had passed sensitive government information
04:50to Epstein a decade and a half ago,
04:52when he served as business secretary under Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
04:57His arrest comes four days after former Prince Andrew was detained on suspicion
05:01of a similar offense related to his friendship with Epstein.
05:05Mandelson was fired from his diplomatic post in September,
05:09after emails were published showing that he had maintained contact with a disgraced financier
05:14after his 2008 conviction.
05:16Epstein was convicted over charges of sexual offenses involving a minor.
05:22Mandelson's ties with Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 in a New York jail while awaiting trial,
05:29was further illustrated after the U.S. Justice Department released millions of documents
05:33pertaining to Epstein's case last month.
05:36UK police launched a probe into Mandelson shortly after,
05:40though the former ambassador does not face allegations of sexual misconduct.
05:49EU lawmakers on Monday moved to suspend the EU-U.S. trade agreement.
05:55The United States Supreme Court ruled last week that some of the tariffs imposed in 2025 by Washington
06:01were illegal, prompting President Donald Trump to announce fresh 15 percent duties on imports.
06:07It's clear the legal basis has totally changed, and then we have the introduction of the new tariffs,
06:15which are totally different to the old tariffs.
06:18The deal was clinched in July 2025 by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Trump.
06:24It locks in 15 percent U.S. tariffs on EU exports,
06:27while granting zero-duty access to most American goods entering the bloc.
06:31Earlier on Monday, EU trade chief Sefkovic also held a video call with his G7 counterparts.
06:39What we told them is that for us, the clarity, how our deal would be respected,
06:45how our 15 percent all-inclusive tariff would be put in place is of utmost importance,
06:55because deal is a deal, and we have to respect it.
07:00NEPs had already frozen the deal once after Trump threatened tariffs on several EU countries
07:05if they refused to let him acquire Greenland.
07:08Parliamentary work later resumed, and the vote on the deal was planned for Tuesday,
07:13but has now effectively been scrapped.
07:18The United States and Iran will hold their next round of nuclear talks on Thursday in Geneva,
07:24facilitator Oman confirmed on Sunday,
07:27signaling hope for progress despite U.S. military build-up and renewed protests in Tehran.
07:33Oman previously hosted the indirect talks on the Islamic Republic's nuclear program
07:38and facilitated the latest round in Geneva last week.
07:42Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi told U.S. media there was a good chance for a diplomatic solution,
07:49with Iran working on a draft proposal for an agreement that would avert military action.
07:55The latest development comes as U.S. threats of military action have multiplied
08:00since a nationwide protest movement in Iran sparked a crackdown that right groups say killed thousands.
08:07On Sunday, Iranian students gathered for fresh pro- and anti-government rallies,
08:11commemorating those killed following similar gatherings the day before.
08:16U.S. President Donald Trump warned on Friday that limited strikes against Iran are possible,
08:21and both Iran and the U.S. have signaled they are prepared for war
08:26if the talks on Tehran's nuclear program fail.
08:44When I sit down to write a book, I write it because there is some lie that I want to
08:50expose.
08:52Again, how many fingers?
08:53My starting point is always a feeling of injustice.
08:58The very concept of objective truth is fading out of this world.
09:03I'm going to sit down what I cannot say aloud to anyone.
09:08This prospect frightens me much more than bombs.
09:11Democracy, freedom, justice have each of them several different meanings,
09:18which cannot be reconciled with one another.
09:22It's about cinema.
09:24Cinema is about emotion.
09:26And it's one of the tools that I use.
09:29I use everything, music, images, graphic,
09:32to make sure that you are not only in the presence of just thoughts,
09:39but also of emotion, of thinking, of exchanges, of collective community.
09:46When I started in cinema, even before,
09:49you know, it was like you couldn't mix any political ambition with art.
09:56You know, art was supposed to be something special, something pure.
10:01The same thing with entertainment.
10:04Everything became entertainment.
10:05Even news became entertainment.
10:07So, but I never believed that it's not because it's entertainment
10:12that you can't put, you know, more weight in terms of the content.
10:19And you will find a form to make it, you know, cinema in my case.
10:24And I always believed that, for me, filmmaking is a political,
10:31I would say, I had always a political intention in making my films.
10:38Militarianism, if not fought against, could triumph anywhere.
10:45Do you begin to see them?
10:49What kind of world we are creating?
11:08What kind of world we are creating?
11:14What kind of world we are increasing?
11:17What kind of world we are preparing for?
11:18Who 25 vomiteration of art?
11:18What kind of world we are providing an essay act?
