00:00O que é isso?
00:30No appetite to extend the mandate of the EU's naval mission into the Strait of Hormuz
00:36Speaking after EU foreign ministers met in Brussels
00:40She insisted nobody wants to go actively into this war
00:44Overnight, the conflict raged on with Israel launching wide-scale attacks on Iran
00:50Four missiles hit Tehran in the last few hours
00:54And one attack hit the US embassy in Baghdad
00:56Lebanon has also been drawn into the conflict
00:59After Hezbollah launched rockets into Israel
01:02In retaliation for the assassination of Iran's supreme leader
01:05Over 850 are reported dead in Lebanon
01:09And thousands internally displaced
01:11For more, we can cross now to Dubai
01:13And bring in your news correspondent Jane Witherspoon
01:16Who's standing by for us
01:18Good morning, Jane
01:19Just tell us first, what is the latest there?
01:21And of course, across the Middle East
01:25Good morning
01:26Well, overnight we heard those public safety alerts for the first time since Friday
01:31We were woken to them, the first one at around 5am this morning
01:36And what followed, I can only describe, was the loudest boom we have heard since the war began
01:41Now, my house shook, the floors, the windows all shook
01:44It was so bad that in fact, I took my children out of their bedroom and their beds
01:48And put them into mine for safety
01:51Now, that said, people are remaining extremely vigilant here
01:55We're following guidelines
01:56And obviously the air defence team are doing an incredible job
02:00The authorities here expressed their deep gratitude for the European countries
02:05Who are supporting that defence
02:07In particular, France, Italy, Germany and the UK
02:10And meanwhile, Jane, Iran is threatening to wage an economic war in the region
02:15Tell us more about that
02:18That's correct
02:19They're actually diversifying now
02:21And putting economic pressure across the region
02:24Which, of course, will have a ripple effect on global economies
02:27Now, Iran maintained that stranglehold on the Strait of Ormuz
02:32And of course, they're now ramping things up in the form of social media threats
02:37They're putting warnings out
02:39I guess, to try and exert some kind of psychological pressure on people
02:44Now, this, of course, comes as the new supreme Iranian leader
02:48Remains unseen still
02:50But leaked audio has revealed that he actually cheated death by just seconds
02:55When he went out into his garden
02:57Just as a missile hit his home, killing his father
03:01Indeed, Jane Witherspoon, thank you so much for that live update from Dubai
03:05And as you say, reports are surfacing this morning that Mashtaba Khamenei escaped death by seconds
03:10That's according to leaked audio reveals
03:12You can read more about that on yournews.com
03:14But now, US President Donald Trump has said that due to the ongoing war in the Middle East
03:19Iran has been, quote, obliterated
03:21And the, quote, powerful military campaign in Iran would continue
03:25Now, the war began just days after President Donald Trump's Board of Peace
03:29It's convened for the very first time in Washington, D.C.
03:32To discuss the reconstruction of Gaza
03:34For more, yournews' Marit Gwynne-Jones sat down with the EU Commissioner for the Mediterranean
03:39That's Dubravka Suiza
03:40Who was actually physically in D.C. for that occasion
03:43And Marit started by asking the Commissioner
03:45If the Board of Peace was a credible body or not
03:47It's hard to say whether it's credible or not
03:51But at that moment it was meant for the reconstruction of Gaza
03:56And I think regardless of this situation development in the Middle East
04:01We shouldn't forget Gaza
04:03And I think we have to concentrate on Gaza
04:05Because the situation remains dire and even worse in Gaza as we speak now
04:11So we have to continue working for them
04:13Yet the charter, so the mandates that President Trump has drafted for the Board
04:19Does not make one mention of Gaza
04:21And the European Commission itself is questioning whether this is in line with the UN Charter
04:29For example, whether it contradicts the UN Charter
04:31So given all of that, do you think that the Board is credible?
04:35Again, if I may ask you that question
04:36The invitation for the Board of Peace was received by President von der Leyen
04:41And I was representing her at that meeting
04:45So it doesn't mean that we legitimized this Board
04:48We were there as we were just observing what was going on
04:53This was a good occasion for me as Commissioner
04:55To meet all the ministers from the region
04:57For me it was a good moment to meet all of them at one place
05:01But at the same time we are not in line with some of the Board of Peace rules of procedure
05:09With the scope and the different issues
05:12So that we are not members
05:14We are just there
05:15We were there for courtesy reasons
05:19So finally on this
05:20Will you continue to attend any meeting that are specifically related to the situation?
05:25We will decide on case by case basis
05:27Okay
05:28So obviously there is a war now
05:31That is threatening to spill over into the wider Middle East
05:34You as Commissioner
05:36You're responsible for relations with some of these countries
05:40How does this war affect your work
05:42And the cooperation with the countries such as Lebanon
05:45That are directly affected by the conflict?
05:47So the situation is developing as we speak
05:50So we have to adapt to the situation
05:52It's also very difficult to start working on Middle East strategy at the moment
05:58Because the situation develops
06:02But we have to be active
06:04We have to be engaged
06:05And we want to be engaged
06:06This is the very reason why this portfolio exists
06:09Because President von der Leyen wanted us to be present
06:12And to be not only passive spectators
06:15But to be players in the region
06:17At this moment unfortunately
06:19We are mostly payers
06:21We are paying a lot
06:22And our influence is not that huge
06:25But we want to increase our influence in the region and globally
06:30Part of this region that you also oversee as well is obviously Israel
06:34Do you support now the French calls for
06:38So that they broker talks between Israel and Lebanon
06:42To come to a kind of settlement?
06:44For us, only dialogue
06:46Only de-escalation
06:48And only diplomacy work
06:50And this is my position
06:51And this is the position of the European Commission
06:53I can say three D's
06:55Dialogue, diplomacy and de-escalation
06:58And I support of course this
07:00Unfortunately the proxies
07:02Iranian proxies
07:03Hezbollah started this
07:04And then it was
07:06It was
07:08If I may say
07:10Returned by Israeli strikes
07:12Which is not good for the people of Lebanon
07:14Not good for anyone in the region
07:17If I may
07:17You say diplomacy
07:20Can you really push for that
07:22Given the situation that we are seeing today
07:24Where we are not seeing any diplomacy
07:25It's just a conflict
07:27Yeah, but we are not supporting any conflict
07:30We are really
07:30We are calling everyone
07:32All the forces there
07:34To de-escalate
07:35Because it doesn't
07:36Bring anyone
07:38Anything good
07:39First people of the region
07:40But also globally
07:42To Europe
07:44There is an impact
07:45But there is also impact
07:46On the whole world
07:47If you look at energy prices
07:50Or crisis
07:51You see what's going on in the world
07:53And this won't be easy
07:55To return to the zero position
07:59As it was before this conflict
08:01Because the impact is huge
08:04Especially on oil
08:05But also on other sources of energy
08:07And looking at Iran
08:09Is there anything that you can do
08:10As commissioner
08:11To support the Iranian people?
08:12We are the only one in the world
08:15Who was and who has been
08:17And who is supporting
08:18At this moment
08:19Civil society organizations in Iran
08:21Because we didn't have any
08:24Any bilateral connections
08:26With the government
08:28But with civil society organizations
08:30Via our implementing partners
08:32On the ground
08:33So we have been doing a lot
08:36For Afghan people
08:37Who are refugees in Iran
08:39If you know
08:39It's more than 100 million euro
08:42Which we invested
08:43In civil society organizations
08:45As of 2021
08:46So this is what we can do
08:48At the moment
08:49And this is what we have been doing
08:50So helping people
08:51Through non-governmental organizations
08:57Now the war in the Middle East
08:58Has nothing to do with NATO
09:00And is not a NATO war
09:01That's the message
09:02From the office of the German Chancellor
09:03For more on the mood
09:04Among NATO allies
09:06Your news correspondent
09:06Shona Murray
09:07Sent us this update
09:09Well good morning Maeve
09:10And just as we thought
09:11The turmoil from last January
09:12When Donald Trump said
09:13He wanted to take over Greenland
09:14Was coming to an end
09:15Donald Trump it appears
09:17Is trying to draw NATO
09:18Into his war with Iran
09:19With comments at the weekend
09:21Saying that NATO would face
09:22A very bad future
09:23If it doesn't support Donald Trump
09:25And help sort out the situation
09:27With the Strait of Hormuz
09:28I caught up with the Finnish
09:30Foreign Affairs Minister
09:30Alina Valtanen
09:31And I asked her about this prospect
09:33NATO first and foremost
09:35Its purpose is
09:36As the North Atlantic Treaty says
09:38For the North Atlantic security
09:41And therefore that's our top priority
09:44And also
09:45I mean NATO is a defensive alliance
09:48In any case
09:49But having said all this
09:51Of course we will be
09:52Closely scrutinizing
09:54Together with our
09:55Partners and allies
09:57So both in NATO
09:58But also in the European Union
10:00Whether there are ways
10:01In which we can help
10:04To both have the Strait of Hormuz
10:08Open up
10:08But also to make it secure
10:10Going forward as well
10:12NATO is a defensive alliance
10:14Not an offensive alliance
10:16So therefore it can't be dragged
10:17Into a war of the United States
10:20And Israel's making
10:21Is that what you're saying?
10:22NATO is indeed
10:23A defensive alliance
10:25And we won't be dragged in
10:26Into any war of choice
10:28But having said all this
10:30We of course have
10:31A collective interest
10:32And I should say
10:33Not only within NATO
10:35But as the world
10:36To have
10:37The oil
10:39Flowing
10:39And also
10:40The situation
10:41To de-escalate
10:42And that is certainly
10:43Something we are
10:44We are calling for
10:45Okay so what's then
10:46The EU
10:46And I guess NATO
10:48But let's say
10:48European response
10:49Going to be
10:50To try to help
10:51Reopen
10:52And keep open
10:53The Strait of Hormuz
10:53Given the impact
10:54It's happening
10:55On the global economy
10:56And oil prices
10:56Yeah so well
10:58Today in Brussels
10:59But also in the
11:00Upcoming days
11:01We will be discussing
11:02This with our
11:05Closest partners
11:06And allies
11:07So both within
11:08The European Union
11:09And in NATO
11:10Whether there should be
11:12Some sort of
11:14An operation
11:15Which could be
11:17There for
11:18For that
11:19Precise purpose
11:20That we
11:21Both keep
11:22The Strait open
11:23Not just for now
11:24But also for the future
11:25But having said
11:26All this
11:27It will
11:28Require very close
11:30Scrutiny
11:30Because for instance
11:31I can say that
11:32For countries
11:33Like Finland
11:35We as NATO members
11:36And securing
11:38A very long border
11:38With Russia as well
11:40We certainly need
11:41Our capabilities
11:42First and foremost
11:43To deter
11:43The threat
11:44Of Russia
11:46Against the entire
11:47Alliance
11:48Back a few months ago
11:49There was Greenland
11:50Okay
11:50Then you have
11:51Months before that
11:53All NATO allies
11:55Think that they're
11:56Going to increase
11:56Spending to 5%
11:57And everyone did that
11:58And now
11:59You have Donald Trump
12:00Taking away
12:01The Russian sanctions
12:02Against the Kremlin
12:04Which is probably
12:05One of the most
12:05Effective thing
12:06That Europe has done
12:07Now that Putin
12:09Can get all this money
12:09From the oil revenue
12:10It means he can spend it
12:11On the war in Ukraine
12:12And actually Russian
12:14Attacks against
12:14NATO territory
12:15Well you see
12:16The Russian economy
12:18Showed some serious
12:19Cracks
12:20Earlier this year
12:22And many
12:24Were
12:24You know
12:25Of the opinion
12:26That finally
12:27The sanctions
12:27That we have
12:28Put on
12:28Do work
12:29And certainly
12:31The sanctions
12:31Have played
12:32A massive role
12:33In weakening
12:34Russia's fiscal
12:35Position
12:35Which is good
12:36Because
12:37Russia is using
12:38Its rubles
12:40Essentially
12:40To fund
12:41Its war machine
12:43But now
12:44That the
12:44Oil price
12:45Has been ticking up
12:46And it probably
12:48Will be staying there
12:49For some time
12:51That certainly
12:52Helps Russia
12:53On a daily basis
12:55Should Europe say
12:56Okay we will help you
12:57But we need
12:57A better deal
12:58On Ukraine
12:59Whether it's
13:00Security guarantees
13:01Or we need you
13:02To take away
13:02The tariffs
13:03That you've imposed
13:04On us
13:04That are really
13:04Damaging our economies
13:05Or creating
13:06Global instability
13:06Certainly
13:07If there's going
13:08To be a decision
13:09To be helping out
13:11With the
13:11Straight of home
13:12Moose
13:12Then certainly
13:13There's a lot
13:14Of leverage
13:15That we can
13:16Also make use of
13:18But let's
13:19Like what
13:19What would you think
13:19So let's not
13:20Rush into
13:21Conclusions here
13:22But what has to be said
13:24That not only
13:25Ukraine
13:25But also Europe
13:26Have very strong
13:27Cards
13:27Especially in the
13:28Long term
13:31And now moving on
13:33Even though everyone
13:33Outside Brussels
13:34Is talking about
13:35The Oscars this week
13:36And the exceptional
13:37Wins of European actors
13:38Inside Brussels
13:40Everyone's talking
13:41About Manfred Weber
13:41The German centre-right
13:43Politician
13:43Accused of teaming up
13:45With the far right
13:46After promising his
13:47Voters he would not
13:48But who is the
13:4953-year-old
13:50Who's been
13:50EPP party boss
13:51Since 2022
13:52Jakob Bialas
13:53Takes a look
13:55In Brussels
13:57No one throws a political
13:58Party
13:59Quite like conservatives
14:00And tomorrow
14:02The European People's Party
14:03Celebrates its 50th anniversary
14:05All eyes are now on
14:07Party's boss
14:08Manfred Weber
14:09Who doesn't just want
14:10To make kings
14:12He wants to be one
14:13But while the party
14:14Looks back at its history
14:16Your reporter wants to look
14:18At his true currency
14:19Because for Weber
14:21It's all about the votes
14:22So let's count them
14:24Shall we?
14:25Remember 2019?
14:27Because Weber
14:28Certainly does
14:29He was the lead candidate
14:31For the European
14:31Commission presidency
14:32But EU leaders
14:34Publicly snapped him
14:35Giving the job
14:36To Ursula von der Leyen
14:37Instead
14:38And he didn't
14:39Take it lightly
14:40But Weber
14:42Is a tough player
14:43He secured
14:44The overall party
14:45Presidency
14:46In 2022
14:47Then he cemented
14:49His absolute control
14:50With a massive
14:51Re-election victory
14:52At the party congress
14:53In Valencia
14:54Last year
14:55Finally
14:56There are the votes
14:57He trades
14:58Last November
15:00His lawmakers
15:01Teamed up
15:01With the far right
15:02To weaken
15:03Corporate sustainability rules
15:05And his group
15:07Defended the move
15:08Arguing they
15:09Simply had to
15:10Find a majority
15:11To help companies
15:12Do business
15:12But you see
15:13This corporation
15:15Actually goes further
15:16And last week's
15:18Investigations
15:18Show his group
15:19Even collaborated
15:20With Alternative
15:22For Deutschland
15:22In a text chat
15:23To advance
15:24Tougher migration laws
15:26But you might ask
15:27Why does this
15:28Even matter?
15:29And the answer
15:30Is simple
15:30Recent elections
15:31Show voters
15:32Demand more right-wing
15:33Answers
15:34To political questions
15:35But the so-called
15:36Cordon sanitaire
15:37Or Brandmauer
15:39In German
15:39Forces difficult compromises
15:41With the left
15:42And liberals
15:43Leaving fewer people happy
15:44And this is
15:46Not just about
15:46The European Parliament
15:47But the Bundestag too
15:49And so
15:50With the economy
15:51Struggling
15:52European and German
15:53Conservative leaders
15:54Face a dilemma
15:55Should they stick
15:56To centrist alliances
15:58Or maybe
15:59Quietly work
16:00With the far right
16:01And some speculate
16:03Weber is now eyeing
16:04A new mega job
16:05Merging the European Commission
16:06And council presidencies
16:08He certainly knows
16:10How to gather votes
16:11But can he handle
16:12The trouble
16:13That comes with them
16:19And for more on this
16:20Let's go straight
16:20To the European Parliament
16:21Where correspondent
16:22Vincenzo Genovese
16:24Is standing by for us
16:24This morning
16:25Vincenzo
16:25What is the latest here?
16:29Yes Mayf indeed
16:30The pressure is mounting
16:32On Manfred Weber
16:33The chair of the European
16:34People's Party
16:35Yesterday evening
16:36German Chancellor
16:37Friedrich Merz
16:38Stepped in
16:39Saying
16:39We don't accept this
16:41We don't cooperate
16:42With the far right
16:43We expect this to end
16:45And we expect consequences
16:46This will be
16:47Weber's responsibility
16:48So Weber has always defended
16:51That his group
16:53Is not cooperating
16:54With the far right
16:55Despite the fact
16:57That on migration related files
16:59EPP has voted
17:01In the same way
17:02As the far right groups
17:03Including Europe
17:04Of sovereign nations
17:05To which belongs
17:07Alternative for Germany
17:08So let's ask them
17:09Joining me is
17:11Thomas Freulich
17:12One of the lawmakers
17:13Of Alternative for Germany
17:15Here in Brussels
17:16So did this cooperation
17:18Take place?
17:19I'm not a member
17:20Of this committee
17:21It was decided
17:23On the Liber committee's level
17:24I'm not a member
17:25Of the Liber committee
17:26But as you can see
17:27There was
17:28A certain form of cooperation
17:31On technical level
17:32It's not an official cooperation
17:34And yeah
17:35They voted
17:36On the same
17:38Report
17:39And it's not for the first time
17:40I mean
17:41We had already
17:43Votes on the budget
17:44I think it was
17:45One year ago
17:46Not the first time
17:47Of technical level cooperation
17:49Technical level talks
17:50I mean we just tabled some amendments
17:52Yeah
17:53We called for more funding
17:55For physical barriers
17:58Physical border barriers
18:00We called for more funding
18:03For external hubs
18:05For returns
18:06And it was I think
18:07One and a half year ago
18:08And our amendments
18:10That were tabled
18:11By our group
18:12Were supported
18:13By the EPP
18:14At this time
18:15So it was not the first time
18:16That we tear down
18:17The so-called
18:18Same views
18:19More or less
18:19But would you say
18:20That the firewall
18:22The brand malware
18:23Has fallen
18:23At least here in Brussels
18:26As I said
18:26It was one and a half year
18:28It was fallen for the first time
18:30And now
18:30For the second time
18:32Yeah
18:32Look
18:33We don't care about
18:35Firewalls
18:35Or about
18:36Codonsanitas
18:36Because in our opinion
18:38For us
18:39The interest of the Germans
18:40And the Europeans
18:41Comes first
18:42And then the party interests
18:43And now it's up to the EPP
18:45How they want to handle
18:46This situation
18:47As I said
18:48For us
18:48The interest of our voters
18:50Comes first
18:51And I think
18:52In the democracy
18:54It would be better
18:55If also the other groups
18:56Would respect the will
18:58Of the people
18:59And as I said
19:00In many countries
19:01Parties like the AFD
19:02Or like
19:03Assemble Monat
19:03In France
19:04Are the strongest
19:05Or second strongest party
19:06So I think
19:07We need to respect
19:09The will of them
19:09And they are already
19:10Cooperating with EPP parties
19:11In other countries
19:12But not in Germany
19:13So what's the consequences
19:14In Germany
19:15If any
19:16As I said
19:17We put the interest
19:19Of the German people
19:19First
19:20And now it's up to the CDU
19:23I think
19:23For the CDU
19:24It's a problem
19:25The Codonsanitaires
19:26The so-called firewall
19:27Is a bigger threat
19:28To the CDU
19:30Okay Vincenzo
19:31Thank you so much there
