00:30And Israel has been responding in a sharp escalation of the Middle East conflict.
00:34This comes just hours after President Donald Trump said U.S.-Iran talks were on the table.
00:40He sent a 15-point plan.
00:42With Lebanon descending further into chaos, we'll be speaking to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.
00:47And the Commission has called on Budapest to clarify reports suggesting Foreign Minister Peter Certo
00:52was in close contact with his Russian counterpart before and after EU summit meetings.
00:57But first, Denmark, the EU member state known for Lego, Higge and its opt-out from the Euro,
01:04held snap elections just yesterday.
01:06Incumbent centre-left Prime Minister Meta Friedrichsen is set to hold on to the reins.
01:11But her Social Democratic Party had a bruising night and failed to secure a majority.
01:17Meta Friedrichsen called the vote earlier than expected due to her surge in popularity
01:22over her handling of the U.S. President's threat to annex Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.
01:27But Denmark now faces weeks of coalition talks on elections that, as I said, saw voters called earlier to the
01:34polls.
01:34For the latest, we can bring in Benny Engelbrecht, Danish politician and a member of the Prime Minister's Social Democratic
01:40Party.
01:41Good morning, Benny. Thank you so much for joining us.
01:43Let's just first together take a look at the actual results of that election.
01:49We saw the Socialists coming out with 21.9 percent, the Green Left with 11.6 percent and the Liberals
01:56at 10.1 percent.
01:57So we see the Socialists there.
01:58You're holding on to power just a bit, but this was not the outcome that you wanted.
02:03No, definitely not.
02:05Everyone, of course, would like to see a better result than we got.
02:09On the other hand, the three parties in the broad-based coalition, a government that has been ruling for the
02:15past three and a half years,
02:17well, all suffered.
02:19So I think this is a general concept that you see all across, especially in Europe at these times,
02:26that the parties that take responsibility in government also lose a bit of a vote on voting days.
02:36And, well, in Denmark, we have almost a Netherlands type of parliament now with 12 parties and only the Social
02:47Democratic Party as a broad-based party with more than 20 percent.
02:52So it will be really difficult for...
02:56And I can see that written all over your face this morning.
02:59Do you expect now months of tough talks?
03:02When could a coalition be formed?
03:04Well, the broad-based coalition that has ruled up until now took six weeks to set it in place.
03:10That was a record-setting negotiation for the past government.
03:16And I expect that we'll see probably something similar to that, probably not before or after Easter.
03:23We'll see actual talks.
03:36But, of course, we will need to sort this out quite soon.
03:41But voters, of course, had bread-and-butter issues on their minds, not really Greenland.
03:45Did you underestimate that?
03:47No, I think the domestic discussions has been, of course, the majority of the discussions.
03:57But it has been more to do with clean water, for example.
04:02OK.
04:02Benny and Mabret, thank you so much for joining us here this morning live on Europe Today here on Euronews.
04:08We'll keep a very close eye on the next couple of weeks there.
04:11But moving on from one crucial election to another, Hungarians will be heading to the polls on the 12th of
04:17April.
04:18But ahead of the key votes, a major scandal has hit the Hungarian government regarding alleged leaks of private information
04:24to Russia.
04:25Jakub Janis takes a look.
04:28A political bomb exploded in Brussels.
04:32The reports regarding the Hungarian foreign minister allegedly disclosing to his Russian counterpart the closed-door ministerial-level discussion in
04:43the council are greatly concerning.
04:45And we expect the Hungarian government to provide the clarifications.
04:49So what's going on here?
04:51A Washington Post investigation claims Hungarian foreign minister Peter Siarto spent years stepping out of confidential EU meetings to directly
05:01phone Russian officials.
05:03And one security official stated that Moscow has basically been behind the table of every EU meeting for years.
05:11The European Commission wants answers, but orders are not so shocked.
05:16Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk admitted long-standing suspicions, revealing he strictly limits what he says out loud during these
05:24talks.
05:25And Budapest is not hiding their connections.
05:28Siarto has visited Moscow 16 times since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
05:35Meanwhile, Hungary is actively blocking a 90 billion EU loan for Kiev.
05:39In an unexpected burst of honesty, Siarto admitted calling Russian officials before and after key EU meetings.
05:47He claims he also speaks to American, Turkish and Israeli officials, arguing this is just diplomacy.
05:55However, this is the same minister who was awarded Russia's order of friendship a year before Russia's full-scale invasion
06:02of Ukraine.
06:03And the Americans, Turks and Israelis have not handed him any similar medal.
06:09Perhaps the only thing left to add here is a quote from a movie Naked Gun.
06:14Please disperse! Nothing to see here!
06:18Ha! It's quite funny, but it's just a pity.
06:21All of that is about the future of European security.
06:24Especially since over 70% of Europeans are now highly worried about nearby conflicts.
06:31According to the latest Eurobarometer survey.
06:34So who's laughing now?
06:40And for more on this story, we're joined here on set by Euronews' EU editor, Maria Tadeo.
06:45Good morning, Maria. So just fill us in. What is the latest now?
06:47Well, look, Maeve, this is a scandal that continues.
06:50And of course, at the core of it is allegations, very serious allegations,
06:54that Hungary shared private EU information with Russia.
06:58But we need to get the timeline right because, of course, over the weekend,
07:02this all started with a newspaper report, the Washington Post,
07:05which cited a European security source that suggested that the Hungarian foreign minister,
07:10in particular, would share information almost in real time with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov.
07:16This report also said that in some situations, he even spoke to him during breaks of meetings.
07:22So, as I say, the allegations are extremely serious.
07:25Now, initially, the Hungarian foreign minister, Seyarto, said that this was all fake.
07:30He said it is fake news and that this was not true.
07:33Then, of course, on the Monday, a transcript of a call,
07:36allegedly between the Hungarian foreign minister and the Russian foreign minister,
07:40began to do the rounds.
07:41And then, Seyarto changed the tune to say, well, this is normal because we speak to many countries
07:49and that is a part of diplomacy.
07:51Yesterday, in comments to Euronews, which I want to read out to you,
07:55and hopefully we can put up on the board,
07:57the Hungarian foreign ministry said that they talked to Russia, the Americans, the Turks, Serbia,
08:02and therefore it is completely normal that we consult with these countries,
08:06if necessary, before and after the meetings.
08:08So, now he is talking about before and after EU meetings,
08:11about the consequences of those decisions.
08:14So, you see how the timeline has now changed from his total fake news
08:17to this is part of normal diplomacy.
08:20Having said that, we should note that Russia is not just any country for the EU.
08:25Russia is heavily sanctioned by the EU because of the invasion of Ukraine.
08:29Increasingly, a number of EU countries consider it a hostile country to the EU,
08:34certainly a security risk for the European Union,
08:37and none of the countries represented across the board in EU meetings have given their consent
08:42so that private information, which is supposed to be confidential
08:46under the principle of sincere cooperation, be shared with Russia.
08:50So, this is far from normal.
08:51If anything, the position of the Hungarians is a total anomaly.
08:55And that's why we've seen Prime Minister Donald Tusk of Poland.
08:57He's furious, right?
08:58Well, the Polish are really pushing into this line.
09:01Yesterday, the Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk,
09:04thinks that the behavior of the Hungarian foreign minister is, quote, a disgrace.
09:08He also repeated a line that he said over the weekend.
09:11He is the first, and at this point, only EU leader to have commented on this.
09:15But he did say over the weekend that for many years he suspected this.
09:18And therefore, that's why Poland is very cautious about the information it shares,
09:22and also introduced a new element that goes beyond the EU to now focus on NATO,
09:27saying that there were concerns going all the way back to 2019 that Hungary is also providing information related to
09:34NATO.
09:34And this is delicate because, of course, you're talking about core security.
09:38Let's take a look.
09:39As early as 2019, as I recall correctly, Lithuania requested that the Hungarian delegation should be excluded from meetings at
09:51NATO.
09:51They informed that they suspect the Hungarian delegation to pass highly confidential information to Moscow.
10:01So that is, of course, the Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who said, again, the behavior from Hungary is, quote,
10:08a disgrace.
10:09NATO matters because here you're talking about core security capabilities, incredibly sensitive.
10:13I should also note, just very briefly, the Polish government is also using this to tackle the Polish president,
10:21Nawrowski, who went to Hungary this week to celebrate the Polish-Hungarian friendship.
10:26What the Polish government says, of course, is that this shows poor judgment on behalf of the Polish president,
10:31who yesterday is getting a lot of heat on this, repeated that nothing has changed the position of Poland remains
10:37of Vladimir Putin as, quote, a war criminal.
10:40And meanwhile, what can Brussels do? What can the commission do?
10:42Well, that's a very good question. It's a question that I put to sources yesterday.
10:46Some of them told me, look, this is a scandal. It's outrageous.
10:49It's unacceptable, but also said, color me shocked, color me surprised.
10:54There's been concerns for years now that when you talk to the Hungarians, you're not just talking to the Hungarian
10:59authorities.
11:00A diplomat told me, this is why we've switched to the way that we work.
11:03Increasingly, there's a coalition of the winnings.
11:05So countries that get together that do not include Hungary to talk about security.
11:10There's also now a question about should the format of meetings be changed?
11:15Sometimes phones do get taken in.
11:16There is restrictive format, but this is not always applied into every meeting.
11:20And we've seen that the head of the European diplomacy, Kaya Kalas, is now demanding an answer from the Hungarians,
11:26saying, did you share or not information, whether it was before or after?
11:31The point we need to stress is that none of the EU 26 countries around the table consented to this
11:36information being shared with Russia in any way, shape or form.
11:40And this is certainly going to now prompt a conversation around how do you deal with a country like Hungary?
11:45And is there a different way in which sensitive information should be shared across the EU institutions?
11:51As I said, it doesn't come as a surprise, but it now highlights what many member states have now said
11:56has become a core problem,
11:57which is the use and the sharing of confidential information related to EU fundamental matters like foreign policy and security.
12:05OK, Marisa, thank you so much for that very comprehensive update.
12:08We'll keep an eye on yournews.com for your reporting.
12:10But now moving on, the war in Iran is still escalating, despite claims from President Trump that peace talks were
12:17imminent.
12:17On the one hand, the Pentagon has ordered about 2,000 soldiers to be deployed to the Middle East.
12:23But on the other hand, the US has sent Iran a 15 point plan to end the war in the
12:27region.
12:28Meanwhile, Pakistan has offered to host talks between the US, Israel and Iran to try to end the war.
12:34For more, we can cross now to Dubai, where our regional correspondent Jane Witherspoon is standing by for us this
12:39morning.
12:40Jane, any hope of diplomacy here?
12:42We heard Iran says the US only wants to talk on its terms.
12:47Well, yes, President Trump has said that those talks are happening, that the US are talking to the right people.
12:54He's also alluded very cryptically to a very big president, a present in the way of oil and gas being
13:02gifted from Tehran.
13:03Now, as you mentioned, several media agencies are reporting on that 15 point plan that has apparently been given to
13:10Iran from the US via Pakistan.
13:12However, Iranian officials are still denying that these talks are even taking place.
13:19Now, in Doha yesterday, there was a Ministry of Foreign Affairs briefing where the authorities said they will not be
13:25mediating these talks as they're too busy protecting and defending their country.
13:30They did say, however, Iran has been here for millennia.
13:33There are countries need to live and work together.
13:36And it's now really up to Iran to reinforce that trust across the region.
13:41And meanwhile, Jade, what is the general mood there?
13:44Is still daily life very much disrupted?
13:47Well, yes, I must say that the attacks are still continuing.
13:51However, they have dropped a little bit.
13:54It feels a little bit calmer.
13:55However, overnight, we are having the military jets patrolling through the night.
13:59It feels like every five minutes.
14:01Now, across the wider region, of course, Lebanon is...
14:12OK, apologies to our viewers there for that technical difficulty.
14:15But as you heard there, Jane Witherspoon reporting for us there from Dubai, alluding to the atrocities in Lebanon.
14:21Well, on that point of Lebanon, coming up, we'll be joined by Barham Saleh, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
14:28A refugee himself who fled as a young Kurd from repression in Iraq.
14:33He spent years and years in exile, but then one day actually became the president of Iraq back in 2018,
14:40a position he held until 2022.
14:43Welcome, sir. Pleasure to have you here with us.
14:45Thank you for having me.
14:46So just describe the situation on the ground in Lebanon.
14:50It's a very dire situation.
14:52More than a million people have already been displaced, and it's in very, very harsh conditions.
14:58Our teams are working to deliver assistance, and in that regard, I have to say,
15:02EU has been generous to providing two jets of supplies, also the government of Italy, as well as Irish aid.
15:11But we need more.
15:12Indeed, the European Union has been sending millions in aid,
15:15but whereas the European Union has no say here in how this war will play out.
15:19How bad will the situation get in Lebanon, in your view?
15:21I hope this thing will be put behind us before long, because we need peace.
15:27This conflict has gone on already for far too long.
15:29It's highly destabilizing.
15:31It is escalating, and I have to say also human lives are at stake.
15:37The impact on civilians across the region is phenomenal, is profound.
15:42We already, as I said, about a million people have been internally displaced in Lebanon.
15:47Nearly 600,000 to a million households in Iran have been displaced.
15:53Of course, there has been significant population movements in the Gulf,
15:57not to mention Iraq that has been subject to terrible attacks,
16:02including yesterday in the Kurdistan region.
16:05And the civilians across the region, in Israel, in Lebanon, in the Gulf, in Iran,
16:12are being affected in a profound way.
16:14And in that context also, this conflict is spilling beyond the region, immediate region.
16:19We are seeing a lot of Afghan refugees in Iran and in Pakistan
16:23are being forced to go back under adverse conditions to Afghanistan.
16:29All of this combined is really presenting us with a terrible humanitarian challenge.
16:34Pakistan have offered to mediate here.
16:36Any hope in those?
16:37Let's hope that this will lead to some useful, tangible peace arrangement.
16:43This region needs peace.
16:44This conflict cannot go on like this, destabilising and impacting human lives across the region.
16:52And I hope that we need a durable and just peace
16:55that will not put us in a place where six months from now,
16:58over a year from now, we will have another recurrence of this type of things.
17:02This region cannot afford these cycles of violence.
17:04And you described so many people on the move in the region.
17:07Should Europe prepare for potential waves coming here?
17:09At the moment, most of the displacement is within the countries.
17:12Our teams at UNSCR are already monitoring the situation very closely.
17:17There is no significant movements across the borders.
17:20Beyond that, what I spoke about in Afghanistan,
17:22that people from Iran, Afghani refugees in Iran and Pakistan to a degree
17:27are being sent back or encouraged to go back or push back.
17:31But across the borders, we do not see that.
17:34We are also seeing, in order to put things in proper context,
17:37a large number, nearly 130,000 Syrian refugees who were resident in Lebanon have gone back into Syria.
17:45I would not call that voluntary returns per se.
17:48They are returning under adverse conditions.
17:51But in order to put the picture complete, our teams are looking at that situation.
17:55And I hope the world as a whole, we will be paying enough attention
17:58to bring this situation under control, to leave to a peace that will be lasting
18:04and basically rooted in the protection of interests of the peoples of the region,
18:09respectful of the dignity and the rights of the peoples across that region.
18:13This region has seen too many wars and too many cycles of conflict.
18:17So what would your message then be to President Trump,
18:19who doesn't really seem to have a plan here?
18:20Well, message is peace.
18:23Message is de-escalation and dialogue.
18:25We have to be emphatic about this.
18:28And what about his Board of Peace?
18:29The Board of Peace has already been very active in Gaza.
18:33And thank God the active conflict in Gaza has been brought to an end at least for a while.
18:40And let's hope that it will deliver something tangible for the people of Gaza and the region as a whole.
18:44Okay.
18:45Barham Salih, thank you so much, UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
