00:14Buongiorno, è Monday 30 di Marche, io sono Maeve McMahon e you're watching Europe Today,
00:20your daily wrap of European news and context in just 20 minutes.
00:25Coming up, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he plans to further expand the
00:31military campaign in southern Lebanon.
00:33This says the United Nations warns of widespread devastation in Lebanon, with around 20% of
00:40the population now internally displaced and many dead.
00:44Meanwhile, Iran says it would set any U.S. troops, quote, on fire after reports the Pentagon
00:49is planning potential raids and troop deployments.
00:52With the conflict entering its sixth month, G7 finance and energy ministers are holding
00:57emergency talks today to try to contain the growing energy shock, while Iran is grappling
01:02with power cuts after airstrikes and explosions were heard in the capital throughout the night.
01:07For more on what seems to be intensifying on all fronts, we can cross over now to Doha
01:12and bring in Euronews' regional correspondent there, Adele Khalim, for an update.
01:16Good morning, Adele.
01:17So we're seeing through the night Israel and Iran continuing to trade strikes, despite Pakistan's
01:22attempts to bring all players around the table for talks.
01:25What's the latest?
01:28Maeve, the situation across the region is quite volatile.
01:30Over the weekend, diplomatic efforts intensified with regional powers such as Saudi Arabia,
01:36Turkey, and Egypt sending their top diplomats to Pakistan in hopes of creating a path to
01:41direct talks between Washington and Tehran and deescalate this now month-long war.
01:45Now, speaking to reporters on Air Force One, U.S. President Donald Trump says they are negotiating
01:50with Iran, quote, directly and indirectly, but also says troops could seize Karg Island, Iran's
01:55oil export hub.
01:57The U.S. has deployed around 3,500 more troops to the region, and Iran is already responding
02:02with what looks like a warning.
02:04State media says its parliament speaker warned Iranian forces were, quote, waiting for the
02:08arrival of American troops on the ground to rain fire on them.
02:12On Friday, it carried out a strike on a U.S. airbase in Saudi Arabia, injuring 15 troops
02:17and damaging several aircraft.
02:19So the message there seems twofold.
02:21It's a warning to Washington about what could happen if things escalate, and a signal to
02:27regional allies that they are within striking range.
02:30Meanwhile, all American universities here in Qatar have now been closed, and that's in
02:35direct response to a threat from the IRGC in response to U.S.-Israeli targeting two
02:43Iranian universities.
02:44Okay.
02:45So everyone very much still there on edge.
02:47Adil Khalim, thank you so much for that update there from Doha.
02:50Meanwhile, Israel is facing controversy over Palm Sunday celebrations in Jerusalem.
02:55This weekend, that saw four representatives of the Catholic Church prevented from holding
03:00mass by Israeli police.
03:02Israel has already weighed in with the Prime Minister saying he will offer full and immediate
03:06access after the Vatican demanded answers.
03:08For more, we're joined now in the studio by our EU editor, Maria Tadeo.
03:12Good morning, Maria.
03:13Good morning.
03:14So look, this is not really just about religion.
03:15It's an international diplomatic spat now.
03:17What happened?
03:18Well, it is, and it was becoming one because you immediately saw a reaction, not just from
03:22the Vatican, which said that this was the first time in, quote, centuries that the
03:27Patriarch of Jerusalem, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, was not able to enter the Holy
03:32Church of the Sepulchre because of security reasons initially cited by Israel.
03:38You also had very strong comments from the Italian Prime Minister, which has recalled the Israeli
03:43ambassador to Italy, the French president, the Spanish Prime Minister, too, in that sort
03:49of heat building over the day, the course of the day, also leading up to what is going
03:53to be a critical week because, of course, this is Easter week and more celebrations are
03:57expected, certainly from the Thursday to the Sunday.
03:59The Israeli governments have now reversed course.
04:02The Israeli Prime Minister, and hopefully we can put this up on the board, put our statement
04:06yesterday saying, this is Benjamin Netanyahu, that as soon as he learned about the incident,
04:11so, of course, that is Cardinal Pizzabala not being able to enter the church.
04:16He has now instructed authorities to enable the Patriarch to hold services as he wishes.
04:22Of course, as I say, this is relevant because of the status quo in Jerusalem when it comes
04:27to putting together holy sites for three religions, but also this is Easter week, so it is a very,
04:33well, the most important celebration for Christians, certainly for Catholics.
04:37It's a deeply spiritual moment, also emotional, so this you have to dread very carefully.
04:42What you're seeing now, the Israeli authorities sort of backpedaling, saying perhaps there was
04:46a confusion among the different authorities.
04:48This was all done because of security reasons, no malice, no ill intent, but nonetheless will
04:54reverse course to allow masks to take place.
04:56And meanwhile, today we will see G7 emergency talks among finance and energy ministers.
05:01What should we expect?
05:02Well, yes, so you see the war is now pretty much touching every aspect of life.
05:06Today it's G7 energy ministers, G7 finance ministers, and also the central bankers who will
05:11be joining.
05:12And that is relevant because it tells you there are concerns perhaps on the fiscal side of
05:16the economy on a much broader basis.
05:20So they are meeting today.
05:21The International Agency for Energy said last week that this could be the biggest
05:25disruption since the 70s.
05:27Of course, the goal is now to bring together the big seven economies around the world.
05:32When it comes to the Europeans, there's a number of measures that have been floated and
05:36put on the table.
05:37One is considering now a windfall tax.
05:39So, of course, that is a special tax that gets put affecting the corporates because of
05:44these extra profits that they may book, passing on them to the consumer.
05:49This is a tax that is not popular among corporates and companies, but that could be installed for
05:55the time being no immediate action.
05:56But it's certainly on the table.
05:57There has been also speculation about an oil price cap.
06:00This was done in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine.
06:04And then, of course, there's a commission which has been under immense pressure for
06:07two weeks now, especially going back to the summit to put together now a full package.
06:12They say they are working on it, but the goal is to put fiscal measures, tailor measures
06:17that do not affect, of course, climate targets and regulations.
06:21Just briefly, are they really united though, the G7?
06:24Well, that's a very good point because we saw already on the Friday when the G7 foreign
06:29ministers met in France, there was a reported spat between Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary
06:34of State, and Kayakalas, a top European diplomat in which it's understood that Kayakalas asked
06:40the Americans, when are you going to increase pressure on Russia?
06:43This is connected to the energy story because oil up means more extra money for Russia.
06:49And the Americans have to have snapped back and say, well, if you think you can do a better
06:53job, then you do it.
06:54Okay.
06:55Maria Tadeo, our EU news editor, thank you so much for those updates.
06:58And just on Israel, your news is reporting an exclusive story this morning about the Prime
07:02Minister's new measures against settler violence, as the IDF potentially plans to move some troops
07:07from Lebanon towards the West Bank.
07:09You can read more about that on our website.
07:11But now, coming up, we'll be joined by the EU Commissioner for the Oceans and Fisheries
07:16from Cyprus, Kostas Kadis, a former Minister for Education and Agriculture back home.
07:22His country, of course, Cyprus, is now in the spotlight for the six months, the first six
07:26months of the year, because Cyprus is currently holding the rotating EU presidency of the EU
07:31Council.
07:32Commissioner Kadis, thank you so much for joining us here.
07:34Thank you for inviting me and good morning.
07:36So, of course, you're chairing, Cyprus is chairing now the EU Council, not yourself, because
07:41obviously, as a commissioner, you don't represent your country, you represent all Europeans.
07:45But, you know, the war in Iran has really dominated the issue.
07:49Indeed.
07:49How is it impacting you?
07:51You mean the presidency?
07:53Yeah.
07:54Yeah.
07:54As far as I know, they have postponed all the activities during March.
08:02but things are returning back to normality from April and onwards.
08:09So, I think that now things will be normal and the presidency will be concluded normally.
08:17And are Cypriots feeling safe now?
08:19Because a few weeks ago, we saw a lot of drones intercepted.
08:22We saw Manu Macron coming in.
08:23Yeah.
08:24Now things are getting better.
08:28No more incidents after that first attack.
08:32And life in Cyprus is back to normality.
08:36And meanwhile, as these wars are raging, there's still serious issues facing the European Union
08:42when it comes to climate, the environment.
08:44Many policies being neglected.
08:46We're seeing severe overfishing.
08:48We're seeing pollution.
08:48And we're seeing biodiversity loss.
08:50And this is the area that you're supposed to prioritize.
08:52But how can you in a world with so many wars raging?
08:57Yeah.
08:57The challenges are many.
09:01Now we're focusing on providing support to our sector so that it remains competitive.
09:08Because, indeed, the conflict in the Middle East has negatively affected the fisheries and aquaculture sectors,
09:18the seafood market and the coastal communities.
09:23And we need to discuss ways of supporting the sector to remain competitive.
09:31So what kind of measures are you thinking of? Short-term measures are you thinking of?
09:34This is a topic that we will discuss today at the Agri-Fish Council.
09:38We are exploring solutions in the framework of the European Maritime Fishers and Aquaculture Fund.
09:44We want to enable member states to provide support to the member states through this fund.
09:51This was done again in the energy crisis after the war initiated in Ukraine.
09:58And how nervous are the ministers? What's the kind of feeling that you're getting?
10:01Yes, they're getting nervous because the operators are very, very nervous.
10:08I met with representatives of the sector on Friday.
10:12They informed me that some operators have already stopped their activities
10:18because they had a marginal profitability.
10:21And now, with the increase of the fuel prices, they cannot deal with the cost.
10:29Therefore, my message today will be clear to the ministers.
10:33First, we need a united response, a European response, that will support the sector.
10:42And second, we need to accelerate our efforts towards energy transition
10:47in order to avoid future energy shocks like the ones we have today.
10:54And that, of course, takes time. Commissioner Callies, thank you so much for coming in today.
10:58Thank you.
10:58On Europe Today here on Euronews.
11:00Now, moving on, Bruce Springsteen and Robert De Niro.
11:03Just some of the celebrities that took to the streets this weekend
11:06to protest against the politics and policies of President Donald Trump.
11:11Millions were out on the streets of America and also here in Europe.
11:14Jakub Biannis takes a look at this so-called No Kings movement.
11:19As you might have heard, millions of Americans took to the streets this weekend
11:23for the No Kings protests against Donald Trump.
11:26But this movement did not stop at the U.S. border.
11:30Across Europe, tens of thousands marched in major capitals,
11:34revealing a deep, continent-wide anxiety.
11:37But wait a second, what exactly is this movement about?
11:40And why it is important for Europe?
11:43No Kings movement protests against what participants view as Trump's authoritarian governance,
11:48targeting his immigration policies, climate denial and military actions in Iran.
11:53But why Europeans are so invested?
11:56Because his Make America Great Again ideology is already fighting for dominance inside the EU.
12:02And the ultimate test right now is Hungary.
12:05On the 12th of April, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán faces the political fight of his life
12:10against conservative opposition leader Peter Magyar.
12:13And Orbán has branded his government as Europe's MAGA stronghold,
12:17earning a total endorsement from the U.S. President.
12:21And if Orbán secures his fifth consecutive term with U.S. backing,
12:25it will fuel other nationalist movements across the continent
12:28and is likely to raise concerns about eroding democracy,
12:32a weakened rule of law and a closer ties to Russia from inside the EU.
12:36And interestingly, in European republics like France and Italy,
12:41the protests seamlessly merge with domestic politics.
12:44But in constitutional monarchies like the UK, Spain and Denmark,
12:48organizers tried to avoid anti-royalist backlash,
12:51rebranding their marches to no tyrants and keeping their focus on U.S. politics.
12:55And here is the irony.
12:57European politics has always been historically fragmented.
13:00But it seems that Donald Trump is unintentionally helping to forge a pan-European identity.
13:06Whether you are protesting against his policies or supporting his MAGA allies,
13:10he has become the continent's common denominator.
13:18Jakob Janus reporting for us there.
13:20Now, moving on, the Finnish Prime Minister, Petri Orpo,
13:23has said that a number of Ukrainian drones have gone astray due to a Russian jamming of signals.
13:28Helsinki says Kyiv has been carrying out drone attacks on Russian territories
13:31along the more than 1,300 kilometre border with Finland.
13:35For more on how Finland has been beefing up a defence along that border,
13:39your news's defence correspondent Shona Murray sent us this dispatch.
13:42Good morning, Maeve. I'm coming to you from Giuseppe, which is the Finnish-Russian border.
13:48About 40 kilometres inside the Russian part of this area is the Russian nuclear deterrence.
13:54So the importance of the Finnish border guard can't be underestimated.
13:59Most of the border here has existed for decades,
14:03but it was heavily fortified after the full-scale invasion
14:06because, of course, the Finnish border guards are not just defending Finland,
14:11but NATO territory.
14:12And I got caught up with one of the Finnish border guards
14:16and I asked them how important their role is.
14:19First and most important is threats against border security
14:24like large-scale illegal immigration or smaller illegal border crossings.
14:29Yes, that's the number one. And for example, we train our conscripts for our reserve,
14:35which is a useful tool if necessary on the wartime.
14:39So basically a full-scale invasion?
14:42Yeah, that's correct.
14:43Finland has had conscription for decades, which is why the Finnish model of security and defence
14:49is one of the most important all across Europe. In fact, a model for Europe.
14:53and I caught up with one of the conscripts, so I asked him a little bit about his experience.
14:58Have you ever held anything like this before you joined as a conscript?
15:02Oh, never. I've never held a rifle in my life.
15:05So the first time shooting was in the army.
15:07You start off with the basic assault rifle
15:10and I found out in the army that I have a gift for shooting.
15:14So that's how I got into this marksman.
15:16This right here, it's a personal camouflage net, mostly used by marksmans.
15:21When I go back to my shooting spot, I'll take it off, lay it over my rifle and then shoot
15:28like that.
15:29We're training for reconnaissance.
15:31So if war were to start, we would go over the border, behind enemy lines
15:36and produce information and try and find valuable targets.
15:44Your news is Shona Murray there reporting for us from the Finnish-Russian border.
15:49But as you heard earlier, agricultural ministers from all across the EU
15:53will be gathering in Brussels today for key talks to hear what exactly is at stake for them.
15:58I'm joined now by the Irish Minister for State from the Department of Agriculture and Food.
16:02That is Timmy Dooley. Good morning.
16:04Morning, Maeve. How are you?
16:05Good. Great to have you with us here.
16:06So just tell us, how is the instability in the Middle East
16:09and the ongoing war, of course, in Ukraine impacting your talks today?
16:12Yeah, but sure, it's impacting talks right across Europe.
16:15Every Council of Ministers are obviously concerned.
16:18From an Irish perspective, we want to see de-escalation.
16:21That's really always the approach that Ireland has to take.
16:24Try to get a level of agreement between all sides here.
16:27And how are you getting your voice out then?
16:29Well, I think the Taoiseach has been very clear.
16:30As you know, he was in Washington recently in the celebration of St Patrick's Day.
16:34And in his conversations with President Trump, made it very clear that Ireland can act in a role,
16:41which we have been very good at, as part of that de-escalation process.
16:45And did President Trump listen to him?
16:46Well, I would hope so.
16:47I think President Trump listens to people right across the world and leaders across the world.
16:52But I think Ireland's position has always been about trying to pull back from the front line,
16:57get a dialogue going, like all wars ultimately end.
17:01And what you would want to do is that they end with the least loss of life
17:05and least disruption to the activities of particularly in Europe member states,
17:10but right throughout the world.
17:11Because the Europeans still don't have clarity on what President Trump's plan is here to end the war.
17:16Nobody seems to have, and that's understandable.
17:18But I think as we move towards taking on the presidency in the latter half of this year,
17:23Prime Minister Martin will come into the frame very much in acting as head of that European institution.
17:32And I think, you know, from Ireland's perspective, we've always been really good at peacekeeping,
17:37peace monitoring and de-escalation.
17:40And that's again where we will try to bring our skill set to the fore.
17:43And meanwhile today, are you focusing on any particular measures to look after farmers across the board?
17:47Well, of course, the issue for farmers is very stark at the minute, particularly on the rising cost of fuel
17:52and also the cost and supply of fertiliser.
17:56We want to see a mechanism in place that the CBAM initiative can be put to the side.
18:02But we need that mechanism in place that would allow that to happen.
18:06So that will be for discussion today.
18:07And again, the ongoing fuel crisis, of course, is impacting both on farmers and on fishermen and women,
18:12as Commissioner Caddis had rightly identified earlier.
18:15And what about the EU Mercosur deal?
18:17The Commission has decided it would be provisionally implemented as of the 1st of May.
18:21Does that make you angry?
18:23Well, no, we note the decision of the Commission.
18:25As you know, Ireland was not able to accept the final agreement,
18:28although we did get heavily involved in the discussions about ensuring,
18:33insofar as possible, that safeguards were there from a market impact perspective.
18:36Look, we saw from the start that there were issues around standards, environmental issues.
18:45And from that perspective, we want to ensure now that as the Commission moves into a phase of implementation,
18:51that the safeguards that were put in place are adhered to,
18:55and that the appropriate monitoring is in place to ensure that all those inspections are there.
18:59And very briefly, EU Australia deal?
19:00Yeah.
19:01Good or bad?
19:01Well, as you know, Ireland has deep-seated links with Australians.
19:07There's scarcely a family in Ireland that hasn't got links there.
19:09So there's real opportunities there.
19:10But obviously, we'll have to see the detail.
19:12But there are significant opportunities for Ireland,
19:16both at the agri-food sector and right across all aspects.
19:19Like the EU-India deal, too.
19:21A good one for Ireland.
19:22Not like Mercosur, as you say there.
