00:13Bom dia, é dia 19 de março, eu sou Maive MacMahane e você está assistindo Europe Today,
00:21sua daily dose de news e análise live aqui no Euronews.
00:26Coming up, EU leaders are gathering in Brussels today for their regular Spring Summit.
00:32On the agenda, not one, but two wars, and they may be more connected than you think.
00:37As the conflict involving Iran spills across the Middle East, with dangerous escalations on all sides,
00:44the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, will also join leaders to reflect on the mounting humanitarian crisis.
00:50The message from the summit, though, is clear. This is not Europe's war, but it is affecting us, whether we
00:57like it or not.
00:59From rising energy prices to the risk of food shortages all across Africa, the global impact is already being felt.
01:06Plus, EU leaders won't be forgetting Ukraine.
01:09Now, in its fifth year of war, the country is still waiting for a billion euro loan.
01:14President Zelensky will join the talks remotely.
01:16For more, we can cross straight over to the arrival floor of the EU summit,
01:20where Euronews' correspondent Shona Murray is standing by for us this morning.
01:24Good morning, Shona.
01:25So, we're hearing the EU saying it's not getting involved in the US-Israel war on Iran.
01:30But will leaders discuss any potential support today to allow the Strait of Hormuz to return to normality?
01:38Well, good morning, Maeve.
01:39And we are shaping up for a very rancorous, a very difficult EU summit today.
01:43EU leaders will about to start trickling down the red carpet here over the next sort of half an hour
01:48or so
01:48for what will be a very late summit, which will probably drag in well into the early hours of the
01:53night.
01:53And as you mentioned there, two major items on the agenda.
01:56First of all, of course, the Iran war and the impact it's having on Europe.
02:00Now, EU leaders over the past few days have started roundly rejecting the premise of this war,
02:06saying that they weren't consulted, they're not party to the conflict,
02:09and therefore, why should they get involved?
02:11Why should they send their vessels, their sailors, to help the Strait of Hormuz and the Americans and the Israelis?
02:16Take a listen to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz speaking to the Bundestag yesterday.
02:23We have also made it clear that we still have many questions about this war.
02:28To date, there is no convincing concept of how this operation could succeed.
02:33Washington did not consult us and did not declare European aid necessary.
02:39Ladies and gentlemen, we would have advised against following this path,
02:44which is being currently taken.
02:49So that's Friedrich Merz, the German Chancellor, obviously making the point that
02:54they don't understand the objectives of this war, they weren't consulted and they would have advised against it.
02:58And that's very interesting, May, because you might recall a couple of weeks ago,
03:01there was a lukewarm endorsement from a lot of Western countries,
03:05particularly some of the most senior countries in the European Union, aside from Spain,
03:09that said, look, let's not lecture our allies.
03:12This is a very important thing to do, potentially to rid the world of the regime in Tehran.
03:18But now they're also looking at the impact.
03:20The impact for European economies on this war is massive.
03:24We've seen oil prices skyrocket.
03:26The impact on the cost of living crisis is huge.
03:28But the key question is, will Europe do anything to save the Americans and the Iranians and the Israelis right
03:34now?
03:34Will they send their vessels, their sailors, to the Strait of Hormuz?
03:37Because we've heard over the past few days that this is a non-starter.
03:40There was even a discussion by the EU foreign policy chief, Kaya Callas,
03:43as to whether she could maybe do a negotiation with the Iranians
03:46to try to get European vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
03:49And that, again, is a non-starter.
03:51But we've seen this war escalate over the past few days,
03:54in particular the world's largest gas field being hit by strikes yesterday.
03:59So EU leaders will definitely discuss the economic impact of this war.
04:03And just briefly, Shona, Ukraine also very much on the agenda.
04:09Of course, yes.
04:10It's a major issue that will keep the EU leaders up at night.
04:13Viktor Orban, the Hungarian prime minister,
04:14has reneged on an agreement that was set before Christmas
04:18that he would endorse a €90 billion loan for Ukraine.
04:21He's now saying he won't do that because the Ukrainians are refusing,
04:24as he says, to fix the Druzhba pipeline,
04:26which is a pipeline that gets oil from Russia through Ukraine to Slovakia and Hungary.
04:32So that's going to be a major problem because Ukraine needs this money by June.
04:35Indeed, Shona Murray, thank you so much for that live update there from the EU summit,
04:40from an EU summit that once again could potentially be dominated by a veto
04:43by Viktor Orban, the Hungarian prime minister.
04:46For more, your news is Hungarian correspondent,
04:48Chandor Zeros, is with me here on set.
04:50Good to see you, Chandor.
04:52Thank you so much for being here.
04:53And we understand the EU and Ukraine have sent a team of experts to this pipeline.
04:57Could this resolve now this issue of the veto at the EU summit?
05:01Good morning, Maeve.
05:02Indeed, earlier this week, the European Commission decided to take action
05:06and try to resolve this issue.
05:08The group of experts are currently on the ground
05:11and they are expected to file a report pretty soon
05:15in order to see what does it cost
05:18and how much time it will take to repair this pipeline.
05:22But I guess this is not going to resolve the issue right now at this European summit
05:27because Prime Minister Viktor Orban clearly said two days ago that in order to lift his veto
05:32and in order to finance Ukraine, he needs to get the oil flowing.
05:37And this, according to Ukraine, could take up to one month.
05:41So I expect a really tough summit for Viktor Orban, a lot of fighting,
05:46but I don't think there will be a solution for this loan of Ukraine.
05:51And there is not a plan B, so they cannot simply bypass Hungary on this.
05:56And it's tricky, isn't it, for the EU?
05:57Because, of course, Hungary is a member state, Ukraine an aspiring member state.
06:01And also, very interestingly, we have to remind our viewers,
06:03there's elections coming up on the 12th of April in Hungary.
06:07How is this issue of this kind of spat between Hungary and Ukraine playing out in the campaign, Shander?
06:12That's right. This is one of the main issues in the campaign debated right now,
06:18because, you know, this is related to energy security.
06:21This is related to the price of the petrol, the price of the heating, cost of the living.
06:26So this is huge.
06:28And again, Prime Minister Orban is portraying himself as somebody who is fighting with Brussels,
06:35in Brussels, for Hungary, and he's fighting also with Ukraine
06:39in order to secure cheap oil from Russia.
06:42This is a big issue, and according to experts that I spoke to,
06:46this could eventually help Orban, boosting his support.
06:50And another thing is, since people are talking about Ukraine,
06:53they are not talking about the talking points of the opposition,
06:57which is, you know, hospitals, schools, inflation, etc.
07:01And one final thing to remind, the elections are still open.
07:06Orban could win, but he could also lose.
07:09And if he's losing, this is his last European summit,
07:12and possibly his last European veto as well.
07:15As you said, Shander, it will be a very tough summit.
07:18We'll keep a very close eye on it.
07:19Thank you so much for that update.
07:21And now, of course, although all eyes here in Brussels
07:24are focused on the politics coming out of that EU summit today,
07:28the eyes of the world are on the Middle East.
07:30In Lebanon, hundreds are reported killed,
07:32and more than one million people displaced,
07:34and strikes are starting to hit energy infrastructure
07:36from Iran to Qatad.
07:38This, as President Trump warned Iran not to attack a Qatad again,
07:42or the US would, quote,
07:43massively blow up the entirety of an Iranian gas field.
07:47We can go to Dubai now,
07:48where our regional correspondent Jane Witherspoon
07:50is standing by for us.
07:51Good morning, Jane.
07:52So it's getting very ugly here,
07:54and dangerous with energy sites being struck on all sides.
07:57Tell us more.
07:59That's right.
08:00Iran has ramped up its attacks on energy sites
08:03across the Middle East.
08:04It comes as the Revolutionary Guard
08:06has said this is a new era of war.
08:09Now, here in the UAE,
08:11our Habshan gas facility was closed overnight
08:14due to strikes there.
08:15We're hearing similar reports across the region,
08:18in Riyadh, in Saudi Arabia.
08:20And, of course, this morning,
08:22we learned that several sites in Qatar,
08:24Doha, had been attacked,
08:26leading to extensive damage.
08:28Now, all three countries have come out
08:30and condemned these attacks,
08:32saying it could lead to global security issues.
08:35And, of course, these do come off the back of Israel
08:38attacking that south par in Iran,
08:41their largest gas field there.
08:43However, overnight as well,
08:44President Trump has come out and said
08:46he had no idea that these attacks
08:48were going to take place.
08:49He's condemned further attacks also
08:52on Iranian infrastructure.
08:54And, meanwhile, Jane,
08:56Iran Security Chief Ali Larajani
08:58has been killed in an Israeli strike.
09:00He was actually one of the most
09:01influential figures of the regime.
09:03Tell us more about that
09:04and what it could mean.
09:06Yes, now, a lot of the top brass
09:07from that Iranian regime
09:09have been killed over the past few days.
09:11There's a statement out in the media
09:13in Iran today,
09:14supposedly from the Supreme Leader,
09:17Mottjabar Khamenei,
09:18saying that he condemns these killings.
09:20And, as you say,
09:21his top security chief
09:22was just the latest to be taken out.
09:25So, he's very angry about that.
09:27Now, amidst these strikes,
09:29which are consistent
09:30through the day and night
09:32across the region,
09:33we are hearing that
09:34the Iranian people
09:35are against the regime there.
09:37And they're now taking
09:38to the streets in protest.
09:40And they're coming up
09:40against security forces there.
09:42OK, Jane Witherspoon,
09:44of course, we have our Farsi desk
09:45all over that.
09:46Thank you so much
09:47for that live update there
09:48from the United Arab Emirates.
09:50Now, back here in Brussels
09:52at the EU summit,
09:53EU leaders are looking at ways
09:54to soften the blow
09:56from the war in the Middle East
09:57and also manage the impact
09:58of the ongoing war in Ukraine,
10:00now entering its fifth year.
10:02Our Jakob Janis takes a look
10:03at how both wars
10:04are very connected.
10:08Today, 27 EU leaders
10:09meet in Brussels
10:10for the European Council.
10:12The official agenda
10:13highlights competitiveness
10:15and migration.
10:16But war overshadows it all.
10:18And your reporter
10:19doesn't yet know
10:20exactly what they will be saying.
10:22But we can certainly guess
10:23what keeps them up at night.
10:25Especially as Russia's war
10:27in Ukraine
10:27and the US-Israeli war
10:29in Iran
10:29have become deeply interlinked.
10:31Let's take a look together.
10:33With the Strait of Hormuz
10:35effectively closed,
10:36energy and petrol costs
10:37are soaring.
10:38And because that vital waterway
10:40handles a massive share
10:41of global fertiliser shipments,
10:44it also means
10:45higher grocery prices
10:46for everyone.
10:47To ease that pressure,
10:49Trump announced last week
10:50that he is lifting
10:50some sanctions
10:51on Russian oil.
10:53The US Treasury
10:54issued a temporary permit
10:56allowing countries
10:56to purchase Russian crude
10:58currently stranded at sea.
11:00And Washington insists
11:02this only applies
11:03to already loaded cargo,
11:05strictly ruling out
11:06new trades
11:07or major financial benefits
11:09for Russia.
11:10But European leaders
11:11are strongly pushing back.
11:13German Chancellor
11:14Friedrich Merz
11:15called the move wrong,
11:17while Council President
11:18Antonio Costa
11:19argued it directly
11:21undermines European security
11:22by letting Moscow cash in.
11:25But here is the bitter irony.
11:27Since Trump's decision,
11:29oil prices have not
11:30drastically fallen.
11:32But European security
11:33has.
11:34This sanctions relief
11:36could hand the Kremlin
11:37a staggering
11:38150 million dollars a day.
11:41That single day of revenue
11:42buys up to 7,000
11:44Iranian-designed
11:44Shahed drones.
11:46Or could fund
11:47sign-up bonuses
11:48for 5,000 new Russian soldiers.
11:52Every single day.
11:54And after bashing
11:55traditional diplomacy,
11:56Trump is disappointed
11:57Europe is not rushing
11:59to help secure
12:00the Middle East.
12:01But as EU leaders
12:02gathering Brussels
12:03just days after
12:05the Ides of March,
12:06one could say
12:07they know
12:08a political backstabbing
12:09when they see one.
12:15Jakob Ján is reporting
12:17for us there.
12:18Now although only
12:1927 EU leaders
12:20are in that summit
12:21physically today,
12:22some others are hoping
12:23to one day
12:24sit in there too.
12:25Like Iceland,
12:26who planned to hold
12:26a referendum
12:27on EU membership.
12:29For more,
12:29Euronews'
12:30Shona Murray
12:30sat down with
12:31the Foreign Minister
12:32of Iceland
12:33and started by asking
12:34her if this would be
12:35a very difficult
12:36referendum
12:36to get through.
12:38Everyone knows
12:39about Brexit
12:40and all the lies
12:42that were put
12:43on the table
12:44in that process.
12:46So yes,
12:48it will not be
12:48an easy walk,
12:51but in the end
12:52you know
12:53you have to trust
12:54the nation
12:54and believe
12:55in her
12:57and it's rather
12:58positive now.
12:59The outcome
12:59could be positive
13:01now,
13:02today,
13:03if we would vote.
13:05But on the other hand,
13:12it's just a simple
13:13question,
13:14you know,
13:14should we continue
13:15the negotiation talks,
13:17yes or no?
13:17And from my point of view,
13:19if you say no,
13:20you are closing
13:20a lot of doors
13:22instead of saying yes,
13:24should we not continue,
13:25see what kind of
13:26negotiation
13:27and agreement
13:28we will get.
13:29If you say no,
13:30then I'm afraid
13:31that Iceland
13:32will be pretty much
13:33alone,
13:34not quite alone,
13:35but of course
13:35we are still
13:36a member of NATO
13:37and we have
13:38the EA agreement
13:39we have after,
13:40but I think
13:41our position
13:43will be
13:44not so strong
13:45as being a member
13:46of the European Union
13:47and there again
13:49I come to
13:49the values
13:51we share.
13:52What do you make
13:53of the changing nature
13:54of the transatlantic
13:55relationship?
13:56If I could
13:56now
13:57criticise
13:58the European Union
13:59is that
13:59they should be
14:02with more
14:03self-esteem,
14:03European Union
14:05is a superpower
14:06and they should
14:07act like
14:08a superpower
14:08if I could
14:10say so
14:10and you just
14:11if you watch
14:13and recall
14:14the Greenland
14:16agenda
14:17from the US
14:19part
14:19it was quite
14:21clear that
14:21the European Union
14:22was a backbone
14:24for Denmark
14:25and Greenland
14:25when
14:26these
14:28statements
14:29were made
14:29on the US
14:30and I think
14:31that was
14:32beneficial
14:33for Denmark
14:34but it was
14:35also useful
14:36for us
14:36in Iceland
14:37to see
14:37okay
14:38European Union
14:39and most
14:41of the countries
14:42they can stand
14:44with other nations
14:45when they are
14:46in a way
14:47attacked
14:47and their sovereignty
14:50Was that very
14:51worrying
14:51from an Icelandic
14:52point of view
14:53what happened
14:53with Greenland
14:54because we are
14:54talking about
14:55two islands
14:56and I mean
14:57he actually
14:58Donald Trump
14:58kept on saying
14:59Iceland
14:59instead of
15:00Greenland
15:00in his speech
15:01in Davos
15:01but he meant
15:02Greenland
15:02I know
15:03I know
15:03but still
15:04Iceland
15:05at the back
15:05of his head
15:06somewhere
15:06somewhere
15:07yeah
15:08somewhere
15:08yes
15:08but actually
15:09just to
15:10underline
15:11Iceland
15:11has an
15:12excellent
15:12relationship
15:13with the US
15:14until it doesn't
15:16yes
15:17but you know
15:18when it comes
15:19to defense
15:19and security
15:20I just have
15:21to underline
15:21our cooperation
15:23in that field
15:23has been increasing
15:24and has been
15:26not just encouraging
15:28you know
15:28it has been
15:28very useful
15:29for Iceland
15:30and I know
15:31as well
15:31for the US
15:32so whatever
15:34people say
15:34you know
15:35in that field
15:35defense and security
15:37it's fine
15:38and it's one
15:39of the most
15:40important pillars
15:41of our
15:41new defense
15:43and security
15:44policy
15:44but when
15:46it comes
15:46to trade
15:47sadly
15:47yeah
15:48no
15:48their
15:48friendship
15:49is not
15:49so good
15:50as it was
15:51you know
15:51because
15:51we got
15:52first 15
15:53and then
15:54now 10
15:54after the
15:55decision
15:56from the
15:57Supreme Court
15:57so
16:00I think
16:01in Iceland
16:01we are
16:02and we still
16:04will be
16:04advocating
16:05for a good
16:06transatlantic
16:07relationship
16:07of course
16:07everybody is
16:08you know
16:08yeah
16:09but we
16:10we also
16:11have to work
16:11for it
16:12you know
16:12but we cannot
16:13be naive
16:14yeah
16:14that's why
16:15I say
16:15it's important
16:17for
16:17for Iceland
16:18to
16:20to
16:22increase
16:23the pillars
16:24under the
16:24defense and security
16:25policy
16:25like I mentioned
16:26there are two
16:27main pillars
16:28under our
16:29defense and security
16:29policy
16:30being a member
16:30of NATO
16:31and the other
16:32pillar is
16:33the defense
16:35agreement
16:36with the US
16:37since 1951
16:38but of course
16:39we are
16:39we are
16:42having bilateral
16:43agreements
16:44with countries
16:44like Finland
16:46and Germany
16:47and we are
16:48updating our
16:49memory of
16:50understanding
16:51and defense
16:52with Canada
16:53and of course
16:53we are
16:54debating
16:55our
16:55collaboration
16:57with other
16:58countries
16:59and we have
16:59to do it
17:00because in this
17:01world
17:01in this volatile
17:02world
17:02you see what
17:04Finland and
17:04Sweden did
17:05they joined
17:06NATO
17:06and they say
17:07those two
17:08pillars EU
17:09and NATO
17:10they are
17:10the backbone
17:11of their
17:12security
17:12and I
17:13of course
17:14we in Iceland
17:15we have to do
17:16something more
17:16that we have
17:17been doing
17:18and that's
17:19why I
17:19for example
17:20I signed
17:21this
17:22security
17:23and defense
17:23partnership
17:24with EU
17:24today
17:25When you
17:25say the EU
17:27should be acting
17:27like a superpower
17:28you should
17:29recognize
17:30the leverage
17:31that it has
17:31I mean
17:32if you look
17:32at what's happening
17:33It's humongous
17:34leverage
17:34you know
17:34What would you
17:35say Ursula von der Leyen
17:36should have done
17:37maybe around
17:38the issue
17:38of tariffs
17:39should the EU
17:41have played
17:42a tariff game
17:43with Trump
17:43or accepted
17:43the 15%
17:44I will not
17:45tell them
17:46what to do
17:46it's a difficult
17:47situation
17:48what I only
17:49ask for
17:50is
17:52in various
17:53areas
17:53show your
17:54superpower
17:55because together
17:56Europe is a
17:57strong alliance
17:58I suppose
17:59to the
17:59example of
18:00Greenland
18:01Yeah
18:01exactly
18:01for the
18:02example of
18:03Greenland
18:03there
18:04some
18:05nations
18:05said
18:06okay
18:06if you're
18:06going to
18:07put tariffs
18:07on us
18:08because we
18:08are standing
18:09with Greenland
18:09and Denmark
18:10then we are
18:11going to
18:12put tariffs
18:12on you
18:13and of course
18:13it affected
18:14the markets
18:15in the US
18:16and that's
18:18why
18:18one of the
18:19reasons that
18:20I think
18:21the US
18:21administration
