02:43anything about contents or even who is talking to whom here.
02:50There's only one problem with this, otherwise it would sound too good to be true.
02:54The Iranians have denied that there were talks at all.
02:58Trump has said we've been talking since Saturday.
03:01They said, no, there were no talks.
03:03So what do we make out of this?
03:05Now, we know there were at least some contacts through intermediaries,
03:09countries like Turkey, Egypt, Oman and Pakistan,
03:12and even the British government, Kiyos Dama, yesterday confirming these talks.
03:18He said we were aware of these talks.
03:20But other than that, we know nothing.
03:22So very much wait and see mode, Stefan Krober.
03:24Thank you so much for that update.
03:26Now, several strong explosions and air alert sirens rang out yesterday in Bahrain.
03:31That's the first to be heard in the Gulf since the US president said, in fact,
03:34that talks to end the war with Iran were underway.
03:37For more on the feeling across the region there now,
03:39we can cross now to our regional correspondent, Adil Khalim,
03:43who's in Doha for us this morning.
03:44Thanks so much for joining us.
03:46Just tell us, what is the mood like there?
03:48And does anyone trust this new deadline of President Donald Trump?
03:53Maeve, here in Doha and across the Gulf,
03:55people are holding their collective breath this morning.
03:59That's because the 48-hour ultimatum issued by US President Donald Trump
04:03to potentially strike Iran's power infrastructure has come and gone.
04:06And for now, the worst case scenario seems to be avoided.
04:09And honestly, there's quite a bit of relief being felt here.
04:12People know just how potentially catastrophic this could have been
04:15with repercussions in Iran and felt here in the Gulf.
04:19Still, our Euronews colleagues in Dubai,
04:21her jets being flown overhead all night.
04:24Power lines were hit in Kuwait.
04:26Seltzer and play sirens were sounded in Bahrain.
04:29And Saudi Arabia's defense ministry says it intercepted 19 drones overnight.
04:33Also, Iranian media reported strikes on two energy facilities
04:37after the pause was called.
04:39So while people are cautiously optimistic,
04:41there's clearly deep uncertainty about what comes next.
04:44Here in the Gulf, everything is so closely tied to energy and water.
04:47So when there's talk of hitting Iran's power infrastructure
04:50and Tehran's possible retaliation,
04:53people here start to think about real-life consequences,
04:55about electricity, desalination, and just daily life.
04:58So while there are two very different stories coming out of Tehran
05:01and Washington this morning,
05:03behind the scenes there are signs towards diplomacy.
05:05Countries like Turkey and Egypt are believed to be quietly
05:08passing messages back and forth.
05:10So right now, Maeve, the mood is cautious.
05:13Relief? Absolutely.
05:14But still a tremendous amount of uncertainty.
05:17People here aren't just assuming that things are over,
05:20just thankful that it hasn't gotten worse yet.
05:22Okay. Adil Halim, thank you so much for that live update there from Doha.
05:26Now, during their EU summit last week, right here in Brussels,
05:30European leaders were clear that this was not their war.
05:33In a statement, they called for, quote,
05:35de-escalation, maximum restraint, the protection of civilians,
05:39and full respect of international law by all parties.
05:42Euronews' EU editor Maria Tadeo had the chance to get the view from Israel on this
05:46by speaking to the former Israeli Prime Minister, Naftali Bennett.
05:50She asked him how he qualified this reaction from European leaders.
05:54You know, it's a bit cowardly.
05:56We are fighting their war.
05:59I'll tell you why.
06:00Iran shot two missiles to Diego Garcia,
06:04which is almost 4,000 kilometers from Iran.
06:07That's a range that reaches Brussels,
06:10that reaches Madrid, that reaches Paris.
06:12And we, in fact,
06:15had we not acted,
06:16all of Europe would be under a terrible nuclear ballistic missile menace.
06:23So we're fighting your war,
06:25and we expect not to be,
06:28you know, criticized in and on,
06:31but we expect your backing.
06:33That would be the decent thing to do,
06:35but we get it.
06:36We have to do the hard job.
06:37We're used to it,
06:38and we'll do what's right.
06:40But let me pick up on that point.
06:42So at this point,
06:42you'd say the reaction from the Europeans
06:44is that they are cowards.
06:45Many, not everyone.
06:47Some European countries have stepped up to the plague,
06:49but many others.
06:51I'm not going to name names.
06:52I think you know exactly who.
06:54I think any European leader
06:56who sort of says,
06:58this isn't our problem,
06:59so when will it become your problem?
07:01When they have a nuclear weapon?
07:04When the missile is on its way to Madrid?
07:06When it hits Madrid or Barcelona?
07:08Is that when you're going to wake up?
07:10So we're doing the fighting.
07:11We didn't ask you for any help.
07:13Nothing.
07:14All we're doing is fighting
07:16against this horrible,
07:18radical Islamist menace.
07:20We're reducing
07:22and hopefully eliminating this threat.
07:24And instead of thanking us,
07:26you're criticizing us.
07:27And what's the deal there?
07:29Well, since you mentioned Madrid,
07:30of course,
07:31there's other governments
07:31led by the Spanish government
07:33that say this war is entirely illegal
07:34and, by the way,
07:35has destroyed any sort of diplomacy
07:37in the Middle East.
07:38Is that fair criticism?
07:40No.
07:41It's just foolish criticism.
07:44Spain's leadership
07:45has been just abhorrent,
07:47I have to say.
07:48Incredibly disappointing.
07:50Because here's how it works.
07:53If you allow a threat
07:55to grow and grow,
07:57at some point,
07:58it becomes so big
07:59that you can't manage
08:00a threat anymore.
08:01Like North Korea,
08:03where the world did not act,
08:05and now no one can take care
08:06and eliminate those nuclear weapons,
08:09like Hitler,
08:10who became so big
08:12and everyone wanted to avoid war
08:14until it was too late.
08:15So this time,
08:16we acted on time.
08:18But what about
08:19when a U.S. top official
08:20resigned,
08:21because he says
08:21there was no imminent threat
08:23to the U.S.?
08:24Regarding that guy who quit,
08:26well, he's a schmuck.
08:28I don't care about him.
08:30He's irrelevant.
08:32He's going to go down
08:32in the dustbin of history.
08:35We're fighting
08:35the most just war ever,
08:37and we should be
08:38getting your backing
08:40and not your criticism.
08:41We've seen
08:42the president of the U.S.
08:43now seems to want
08:44to make a deal.
08:45He suggests
08:46his five days
08:46still have talks,
08:47and he says
08:48the Iranians
08:49wants to make a deal.
08:50The U.S. also wants
08:50to make a deal.
08:51What about Israel?
08:52Is the deal a good thing
08:53for Israel at this point?
08:54It depends.
08:54We have objectives.
08:55Our objective is
08:56to totally dismantle
08:57the nuclear program
08:58and ensure they never
09:00achieve a nuclear weapon.
09:01Same with the ballistic missiles
09:03and same with dismantling
09:05the terror proxies.
09:06So we have to see
09:07what the deal is.
09:08If it achieves those goals,
09:09that's wonderful.
09:10Okay, and this is
09:11my final question, however,
09:12and it is the question
09:13at this point.
09:14What happens
09:14if the U.S. decides
09:15this war is over for us?
09:17We leave now.
09:18Goals have been met,
09:19but Israel considers no.
09:20Those three key goals
09:21have not been met.
09:22Will you go on
09:23fighting alone
09:24without the support
09:24of the U.S.?
09:25We're going to have
09:26to take a look
09:26at the actual results
09:28if this indeed
09:31turns into a full-blown agreement
09:33and then we'll make
09:34our decisions.
09:35Based on those points
09:36and what are those points,
09:37are you working
09:38in tandem with the U.S.?
09:39That is really the question
09:40because it seems
09:41from the outside,
09:42Israel believes
09:43this is not going
09:43to get done in a week.
09:44The U.S. is now talking
09:45about a five-day until Friday.
09:47That's a big gap
09:48in the timeline.
09:49Yeah, we'll have to see.
09:50Our objectives
09:51are to dismantle
09:51the nuclear and ballistic programs,
09:54dismantle the
09:54global terror proxy network.
10:01Maurice Deo there
10:02speaking to Naftali Bennett,
10:03the former
10:04ultra-nationalist
10:05Prime Minister of Israel
10:06and businessman.
10:07You can catch the full interview
10:08on Euronews.com.
10:09But now moving on,
10:11the EU Commission President
10:12is down under this week.
10:13She's just clinched
10:14a trade deal
10:15with Australia
10:15amid conflict
10:16and instability
10:17in the Middle East
10:18and trade tensions
10:19with the U.S. and China.
10:23It's another 20-hour flight
10:24to Sydney,
10:25but the price
10:26at the end
10:26might just be worth it.
10:28European Commission President
10:29is in Australia right now,
10:31trying to push
10:31a long-delayed
10:32free trade deal
10:33across the finish line.
10:34With U.S. tariffs rising
10:36and trade tensions
10:37heating up with China,
10:38both Brussels
10:39and Canberra
10:40urgently need
10:41as reliable partners.
10:42Because trade
10:43is not just economics.
10:44It is power.
10:46And that's quite interesting.
10:47So let's take a look.
10:50The economic ties
10:51are already massive.
10:53The EU is currently
10:54Australia's
10:54third-largest trading partner,
10:56exporting almost
10:5728 billion euros
10:59more in goods
11:00than in imports.
11:01And for the EU,
11:02Australia ranks
11:03just 20th.
11:04But this deal
11:05is not about
11:05selling more machinery.
11:07It is about
11:08securing the green transition.
11:09A goal that
11:10the current war
11:11in Iran
11:12has turned
11:12into a matter
11:13of sheer energy security.
11:15Australia is
11:16the world's
11:17third-largest
11:18producer of rare earths.
11:19And Brussels
11:20wants to remove
11:21trade barriers
11:21to critical raw materials
11:23like lithium
11:23and cobalt
11:24to limit
11:25its reliance
11:26on China.
11:27But the big
11:28sticking point
11:29is agriculture.
11:30Fearing a repeat
11:31of the Mercosur
11:32farmer protests,
11:33Brussels is putting
11:34a hard ceiling
11:35on Australian meat imports,
11:37demanding strict quarters
11:39and food protection
11:39for European food names.
11:42But hey,
11:43there's also
11:43a bigger picture.
11:45Brussels is on a roll
11:46sealing recent pacts
11:47with Mercosur,
11:49India,
11:49Mexico,
11:50Switzerland
11:51and Indonesia
11:52to become
11:53the ultimate
11:53reliable partner.
11:55And according
11:56to von der Leyen
11:57the message is clear.
11:58The world
11:59wants to trade
12:00with Europe.
12:01And if you're thinking
12:02that there is somebody
12:03missing in this
12:04beautiful picture,
12:05it is the United States
12:06which happens to be
12:07the EU's biggest
12:08trading partner.
12:09For now,
12:10European lawmakers
12:11are trying to implement
12:12a limited trade deal.
12:13But between
12:14Donald Trump's
12:1515% tariffs
12:16and recent
12:17US Supreme Court chaos,
12:19progress is slow.
12:21And one would say
12:22that the biggest obstacle
12:24to an EU-US trade deal
12:25seems to be
12:26the US itself.
12:31Jakob Janus there.
12:33And in fact,
12:33this Thursday,
12:34the European Parliament
12:34will be voting
12:35on that EU-US trade deal
12:37that would impose
12:3815% tariffs
12:39on EU goods.
12:40The EU also agreed
12:41to buy almost
12:42650 billion euro
12:44of US energy exports
12:45until 2028.
12:47To get the view now
12:48from the Trump administration,
12:49we're joined here
12:50in the studio
12:50by the US ambassador
12:51to the European Union,
12:53Andrew Puzder.
12:53Lovely to have you
12:54back with us.
12:55Great to be here, Maeve.
12:56Thanks for having me.
12:56So all eyes on this vote
12:58finally taking place
12:59this Thursday.
13:00Will it pass,
13:01do you think?
13:02All the signs
13:02seem to be good.
13:03You hate to take
13:04anything for granted
13:05and I don't want
13:05to prejudge the result.
13:07We're going to keep
13:08working with people
13:08to make sure we address
13:10any issues that they have.
13:11But I say the signs
13:12are good and it really
13:13would be economic
13:14malpractice not to pass this.
13:15It's a great deal
13:16for the United States
13:17and a great deal
13:18for the European Union.
13:19So hopefully
13:20we'll see it passed.
13:21We'll keep a close eye on it.
13:22You heard in that report
13:23that some think
13:24that the US
13:24is the biggest obstacle
13:25to doing trade
13:26with the European Union.
13:28How would you react
13:28to that argument?
13:29I'd say,
13:30you know,
13:30we signed this agreement
13:31in,
13:32yeah,
13:33we signed it in August,
13:34late August of this year.
13:36And every day since then,
13:38the United States
13:38has been in compliance
13:39with what it agreed
13:40to do under the agreement.
13:42We have yet to have a day
13:43where the Europeans
13:44are in compliance
13:45because they had a process
13:46to go through.
13:47I guess the second
13:49to the last step
13:49will be,
13:50or maybe the third
13:51to the last step
13:51is Parliament approves
13:52and they go to Trilog
13:53and then they vote again.
13:55But we're anxious
13:57to see it approved.
13:58But I don't think
13:58the United States
13:59is the obstacle.
14:00Like I say,
14:01we've been complying.
14:02We're waiting for Europe
14:03to get through its process.
14:04But there's anxiety,
14:05of course,
14:06among European lawmakers.
14:07There's anxiety
14:07among European business
14:09due to the fact
14:09that every second week
14:11we hear different announcements
14:12from the White House
14:13when it comes to potential tariffs
14:14that would hurt
14:14our economy here in Europe.
14:16So, as I said,
14:17despite what you're hearing,
14:19despite the political talk,
14:20the United States
14:21has been in compliance
14:22every day.
14:23There's not one day
14:24where we haven't been
14:25in compliance
14:25under the agreement.
14:26and we're waiting
14:27for Europe
14:27to be in compliance
14:28like one day.
14:29So, I mean,
14:30I don't think
14:30this is a one-sided issue.
14:33We're ready to go.
14:34And can the Europeans
14:35trust you?
14:36Of course they can.
14:37They've trusted us
14:38for 250 years,
14:40I think.
14:40At least many of them have.
14:41And what happens
14:42if this is signed
14:43but then in a couple of weeks
14:44Trump gets angry
14:45with Spain, for example,
14:46due to their stance
14:47on certain geopolitical issues
14:49and decides to
14:49cut off trade with them?
14:51Well, if you're saying
14:52what happens
14:52if somebody breaches
14:53the agreement,
14:54then I think
14:54the parties have
14:55to analyze
14:56where they are.
14:57I don't know
14:57that that particularly
14:58would be a breach.
14:59We'd have to wait
14:59and see how the agreement
15:00comes out.
15:01We're still waiting
15:02to go through amendments
15:03that the parliament's proposed
15:05and whether the council
15:06will accept those amendments
15:07and there'll be a different bill
15:08out of the trilogue.
15:10And so we're waiting
15:11to see what the final bill says.
15:12But it's like any other agreement.
15:13If one party breaches,
15:15the other party reacts.
15:16And of course,
15:17the big news
15:17that we're reporting
15:18on this morning
15:18is Commission President
15:20Ursa von der Leyen
15:21in Australia
15:21clinching a brand new
15:23trade deal
15:23for the Europeans
15:24with Australia.
15:25What's the view
15:26from the White House
15:26on this?
15:27Look, if two of our
15:29closest allies
15:30come to an agreement
15:31on trade,
15:32I think that that
15:33helps the world.
15:33It doesn't hurt the world.
15:35We just want to make sure
15:36we get our deal done.
15:37Of course,
15:38you're not jealous
15:38of the other friendships
15:39that the European Union
15:40has across the world.
15:41We have other agreements
15:42as well.
15:43We have agreements
15:43with South Korea,
15:44with Japan.
15:46We're moving forward
15:47on a number
15:48of different tracks.
15:49I don't think we could
15:50lecture somebody else
15:51about doing the same.
15:53And is that a warning shot
15:53to Brussels
15:54to get that vote across?
15:55I don't make warning shots.
15:57I'm just hopeful
15:58that they'll get it across.
15:59I think it's in their
15:59best interest.
16:00I think it's in our best interest,
16:01best interest of the people
16:02of Europe
16:03and the people of America.
16:04So let's get it done.
16:05Let's move on.
16:06Let's really build
16:07the kind of economic relationship
16:09and the kind of joint prosperity
16:10that we could
16:11and should share.
16:12Okay.
16:12We'll keep a close eye on it.
16:13Ambassador Andrew Posner,
16:14thank you so much
16:15for coming in to us here.
16:16Now we turn to Italy
16:17where a two-day referendum
16:18on judicial reform
16:20has concluded.
16:21The proposed changes
16:22triggered deep political divisions
16:24across the country
16:24and united the centre-left opposition.
16:27The government argued
16:28that splitting the career paths
16:29of judges and prosecutors
16:30was essential
16:31to strengthening
16:32judicial independence.
16:33But critics say
16:34it could upset
16:35the balance of powers
16:36established after the fall
16:37of fascism.
16:38For more,
16:39we can head now to Rome
16:40and bring in our correspondent,
16:41Georgia Orlandi.
16:42Good morning.
16:43So the referendum
16:43has actually failed.
16:45What more can you tell us?
16:48Good morning, Maeve.
16:49Well, indeed,
16:50it looks like
16:51the majority of Italians
16:52rejected that key judicial reform.
16:54This was one of
16:55Maloney's main
16:56political pledges.
16:58the most controversial element
17:00of the reform
17:01was the proposal
17:02to change the way
17:04members of this body
17:05overseeing judges' careers
17:06are selected.
17:08So under the proposal,
17:09they would have been chosen
17:10by, selected by,
17:13a lottery move
17:13that the critics say
17:15undermines merit
17:17and, as you mentioned there,
17:18undermines the balance of powers
17:20despite the fact
17:20that this reform
17:21was promoted
17:22as a way to limit
17:23political influence.
17:24Now, 50 million Italians
17:26were called
17:26to say yes or no
17:28to the reform.
17:28The no camp
17:29won just by a few points.
17:32That's not a landslide,
17:33but that's enough
17:33to block the reform,
17:35also considering
17:35that no turnout
17:37threshold
17:38was required.
17:39The most interesting aspect
17:41of the referendum
17:42was the fact
17:43that we saw
17:44a very high voter turnout,
17:46almost 60% higher
17:49than expected,
17:49level seen in 2022
17:51during the general elections
17:53that brought Maloney to power,
17:55something that makes us think
17:57that this was seen
17:58as a political test
17:59for Maloney
18:00and her government.
18:01Maeve?
18:01Well, this is it.
18:02It feels a little bit
18:03like a big test
18:04for Georgia Maloney's government.
18:05Did she fail it then?
18:08Well, indeed, Maeve,
18:10she had already ruled out
18:13resigning over the results.
18:16She wanted to avoid
18:18the path taken
18:19by former Prime Minister
18:21Matteo Renzi,
18:22who resigned
18:22after losing
18:23that constitutional referendum
18:25in 2016.
18:27Reacting to the outcome,
18:29she said that,
18:30of course,
18:30she respects
18:31the decisions
18:32taken by Italian voters,
18:35but that she also says
18:36she's determined
18:37to continue now,
18:38hinting to the fact
18:39that she doesn't see this
18:41as a major political defeat.
18:43But it's clear,
18:44as analysts say,
18:46that this outcome
18:47has made her more vulnerable.
18:49So the next few months
18:50will be challenging
18:51given that
18:52the next general elections
18:53will take place
18:54in 2027.
18:56The referendum
18:57took place
18:58at a challenging time.
18:59Maloney has faced
18:59a criticism
19:00over a handling
19:01of the war
19:03in the Middle East,
19:04especially when it comes
19:05to this very close relationship
19:07with Donald Trump
19:08that critics say,
19:09quote,
19:09it's very risky for Italy.
19:11The main takeaway
19:12from this outcome,
19:13though, Maeve,
19:14is the fact that Maloney
19:15will have to review
19:16its reform plan
19:17and most importantly
19:18try to strengthen
19:19the ruling coalition unity
19:21within that coalition
19:23ahead of what looks like
19:24a very uncertain
19:25political phase.
19:26Maeve?
