00:14Good morning, it is Monday the 30th of March. I'm Maeve McMahon and you're watching Europe Today, your daily wrap
00:21of European news and context in just 20 minutes.
00:25Coming up, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he plans to further expand the military campaign in southern Lebanon.
00:33This as the United Nations warns of widespread devastation in Lebanon with around 20% of the population now internally
00:41displaced and many dead.
00:44Meanwhile, Iran says it would set any US troops, quote, on fire after reports the Pentagon is planning potential raids
00:50and troop deployments.
00:52With the conflict entering its six-month, G7 finance and energy ministers are holding emergency talks today to try to
00:59contain the growing energy shock,
01:01while Iran is grappling with 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 and bring
01:13in your news's regional correspondent there, Adel Khalim, for an update.
01:16Good morning, Adel. So we're seeing through the night Israel and Iran continuing to trade strikes, despite Pakistan's attempts to
01:22bring all players around the table for talks.
01:25What's the latest?
01:28Maeve, the situation across the region is quite volatile.
01:31Over the weekend, diplomatic efforts intensified with regional powers such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt sending their top diplomats
01:38to Pakistan
01:39in hopes of creating a path to direct talks between Washington and Tehran and de-escalate this now month-long
01:45war.
01:45Now, speaking to reporters on Air Force One, US President Donald Trump says they are negotiating with Iran, quote,
01:51directly and indirectly, but also says troops could seize Karg Island, Iran's oil export hub.
01:57The US has deployed around 3,500 more troops to the region, and Iran is already responding with what looks
02:03like a warning.
02:03State media says its parliament speaker warned Iranian forces were, quote, waiting for the arrival of American troops on the
02:10ground to rain fire on them.
02:12On Friday, it carried out a strike on a US airbase in Saudi Arabia, injuring 15 troops and damaging several
02:19aircraft.
02:19So the message there seems twofold.
02:21It's a warning to Washington about what could happen if things escalate,
02:26and a signal to regional allies that they are within striking range.
02:30Meanwhile, all American universities here in Qatar have now been closed,
02:34and that's in direct response to a threat from the IRGC in response to US-Israeli targeting two Iranian universities.
02:45Okay, so everyone very much still there on edge.
02:47Adil Khaleem, thank you so much for that update there from Doha.
02:50Meanwhile, Israel is facing controversy over Palm Sunday celebrations in Jerusalem this weekend
02:56that saw four representatives of the Catholic Church prevented from holding mass by Israeli police.
03:02Israel has already weighed in, with the Prime Minister saying he will offer full and immediate access after the Vatican
03:07demanded 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 the Vatican,
03:23which said that this was the first time in, quote, centuries that the Patriarch of Jerusalem,
03:28the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, was not able to enter the Holy Church of the Sepulchre
03:33because of security reasons initially cited by Israel.
03:38You also had very strong comments from the Italian Prime Minister,
03:41which has recalled the Israeli ambassador to Italy, the French president, the Spanish Prime Minister,
03:47too, in that sort of heat building over the day, the course of the day,
03:52also leading up to what is going to be a critical week,
03:54because, of course, this is Easter week and more celebrations are expected,
03:58certainly from the Thursday to the Sunday.
04:00The Israeli governments have now reversed course.
04:02The Israeli Prime Minister, and hopefully we can put this up on the board,
04:06put our statement yesterday saying this is Benjamin Netanyahu,
04:09that as soon as he learned about the incident, so, of course, that is Cardinal Pizzaballa
04:13not being able to enter the church, he has now instructed authorities to enable the Patriarch
04:19to hold services as he wishes.
04:22Of course, as I say, this is relevant because of the status quo in Jerusalem
04:26when it comes to putting together holy sites for three religions,
04:30but also this is Easter week, so it is a very, well, the most important celebration for Christians,
04:36certainly for Catholics. It's a deeply spiritual moment, also emotional,
04:40so this you have to do it very carefully.
04:42What you're seeing now, the Israeli authorities sort of backpedaling,
04:45saying perhaps there was a confusion among the different authorities.
04:48This was all done because of security reasons.
04:51No malice, no ill intent, but nonetheless will reverse 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 be joining.
05:12And that is relevant because it tells you there are concerns perhaps on the fiscal side of things,
05:17the 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 disruption since the 70s.
05:27So, of 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 put 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
05:44because of these 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.
05:54For the time being, no immediate action, but it's certainly on the table.
05:57There has been also speculation about an oil price cap.
06:01This was done in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine.
06:04And then, of course, there's a commission which has been under immense pressure for two weeks now,
06:08especially 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 that do not
06:18affect, 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 ministers met in
06:30France,
06:31there was a reported spat between Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, and Calle Callas,
06:36a top European diplomat, in which it's understood that Calle Callas asked the Americans,
06:41when 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 said to have snapped back and say,
06:52well, if you think you can do a better job, then you do it.
06:54Okay.
06:55Maria Taseo, our EU News Editor, thank you so much for those updates.
06:58And just on Israel, EU News is reporting an exclusive story this morning about the Prime Minister's new measures against
07:03settler violence,
07:04as the IDF potentially plans to move some troops from 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 from Cyprus,
07:17Kostas Cadiz, a former Minister for Education and Agriculture back home.
07:22His country, of course, Cyprus, is now in the spotlight for the six months,
07:26the first six months of the year,
07:27because Cyprus is currently holding the rotating EU presidency of the EU Council.
07:32Commissioner Cadiz, thank you so much for joining us here.
07:34Thank you for inviting me and good morning.
07:37So, of course, you're chairing, Cyprus is chairing now the EU Council, not yourself,
07:41because obviously 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.
07:49How is it impacting you?
07:52You mean the presidency?
07:53Yeah.
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, we 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,
08:39there's still serious issues facing the European Union when it comes to climate, the environment.
08:44Many policies being neglected.
08:46We're seeing severe overfishing.
08:47We're seeing pollution and we're seeing biodiversity loss.
08:50And this is the area that you're supposed to prioritise.
08:53But 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.
09:30So what kind of measures are you thinking of?
09:32Short-term measures are you thinking of?
09:34This is a topic that we will discuss today at the Agri-Fish Council.
09:38We're 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.
09:57And how nervous are the ministers?
10:00What'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 because they had a marginal profitability.
10:20And now with the increase of the fuel prices, they cannot deal with the cost.
10:28Therefore, 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 in order to avoid future energy shocks like the
10:53ones we have today.
10:55And that, of course, takes time.
10:56Commissioner Callies, thank you so much for coming in today on your stay 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 to protest against the politics and policies of
11:09President Donald Trump.
11:10Millions were out on the streets of America and also here in Europe.
11:14Jakob Janus 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 for the No Kings protests against
11:25Donald Trump.
11:26But this movement did not stop at the U.S. border.
11:30Across Europe, tens of thousands marched in major capitals, revealing a deep, continent-wide anxiety.
11:37But wait a second.
11:38What 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.
12:04On the 12th of April, Prime Minister Viktor Orban faces the political fight of his life against conservative opposition leader
12:12Peter Magyar.
12:13And Orban has branded his government as Europe's MAGA stronghold, earning a total endorsement from the U.S. president.
12:20And if Orban secures his fifth consecutive term with U.S. backing, it will fuel other nationalist movements across the
12:28continent and is likely to raise concerns about eroding democracy, a weakened rule of law and a closer ties to
12:35Russia from inside the EU.
12:36And interestingly, in European republics like France and Italy, the protests seamlessly merge with domestic politics.
12:44But in constitutional monarchies like the UK, Spain and Denmark, organizers tried to avoid anti-royalist backlash, rebranding their marches
12:52to 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, he has become the continent's common denominator.
13:14European politics has always been
13:18Jakub Janus reporting for us there.
13:20Now, moving on, the Finnish Prime Minister, Petri Orpo, has said that a number of Ukrainian drones have gone astray
13:25due to a Russian jamming of signals.
13:28Helsinki says Kyiv has been carrying out drone attacks on Russian territories along the more than 1,300 kilometre border
13:34with Finland.
13:35For more on how Finland has been beefing up a defence along that border,
13:39Euro News' defence correspondent Shona Murray sent us this dispatch.
13:42Good morning, Maeve.
13:44I'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, but it was heavily fortified after the full-scale invasion.
14:06Because, of course, the Finnish border guard are not just defending Finland, but NATO territory.
14:12And I got caught up with one of the Finnish border guards and I asked them how important their role
14:18is.
14:18First and most important is threats against border security, like large-scale illegal immigration or smaller illegal border crossings.
14:30That's the number one.
14:31And, for example, we train our conscripts for our reserve, which 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 is one of the
14:50most important all across Europe.
14:52In fact, a model for Europe.
14:54And I caught up with one of the conscripts and 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.
15:03I've never held a rifle in my life.
15:05So, 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.
15:13So, that's how I got into this marksman.
15:16This right here, it's a personal camouflage net, mostly used by marksmans.
15:22When 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, and produce information, and try
15:40and 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 will be gathering in Brussels to stay for
15:55key 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.
16:03Good morning.
16:04Morning, Maeve.
16:04How are you?
16:05Good.
16:05Great to have you with us here.
16:06So, just tell us, how is the instability in the Middle East and the ongoing war, of course, in Ukraine,
16:11impacting your talks today?
16:12Yeah, but sure, it's impacting talks right across Europe.
16:15Every council of ministers are obviously concerned.
16:17From an Irish perspective, we want to see de-escalation.
16:21That's really always the approach that Ireland has to take, try to get a level of agreement between all sides
16:27here.
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, and in his conversations with
16:36President Trump,
16:37made it very clear that Ireland can act in a role which we have been very good at as part
16:43of 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, get a dialogue
16:58going.
16:59Like, all wars ultimately end.
17:01And what you would want to do is that they end with the least loss of life and least disruption
17:06to the activities of, particularly in Europe, member states, but 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.
17:15Nobody 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, Prime Minister
17:24Martin will come into the frame very much in acting as head of that European institution.
17:31And I think, you know, from Ireland's perspective, we've always been really good at peacekeeping, peace 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 fertilizer.
17:56We want to see a mechanism in place that the CBAM initiative can be put to the side, you know,
18:03but 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, as Commissioner
18:14Caddis 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?
18:22Well, no, we know the decision of the Commission, as you know, Ireland was not able to accept the final
18:28agreement, although we did get heavily involved in the discussions about ensuring, insofar as possible, that safeguards were there from
18:35a market impact perspective.
18:37Look, 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, that
18:51the safeguards that were put in place are adhered to and that the appropriate monitoring is in place to ensure
18:58that all those inspections are there.
18:59And very briefly, the 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, both 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.
