00:00Vowing for complete regime change, Hungarian Prime Minister-elect Peter Majar outlined priorities including EU funds, the Eurozone, Ukraine, Russia
00:08and migration.
00:11International oil prices surged on Monday after the peace talks between the United States and Iran failed over the weekend
00:17in Pakistan.
00:21Germany plans to reduce the energy tax on diesel and petrol in a response to surging fuel prices related to
00:27the Iran war.
00:30In a three-hour speech on Monday, Hungarian Prime Minister-elect Peter Majar has called for the swift formation of
00:35a new government, aiming for a formal handover of power on May 5th.
00:40Following his landslide victory on Sunday, Majar outlined his administration's immediate priorities, which center on restoring democratic institutions and securing
00:4917 billion euros in frozen European Union funds.
00:52We were able to achieve the strength. We will be able to continue everything, that this will be a new
00:57state, because the Hungarian people are not a simple government change, but a complete government change.
01:06Addressing the conflict in Ukraine, Majar confirmed he will not block a 90 billion euro EU loan for Kiev, though
01:13he insisted Hungary will not contribute to the fund.
01:16He also reiterated his position to the fast-tracked EU accession of a country at war.
01:22On energy policy, the incoming leader adopted a pragmatic tone.
01:25While aiming to end dependence on Russian energy by 2035, he stated that Budapest will continue to purchase Russian oil
01:33in the short term to ensure economic competitiveness.
01:37Majar also intends to keep the southern border fence and remains opposed to the EU migration pact.
01:43However, he expressed a desire to resolve the 1 million euro daily fines imposed by the European Court of Justice
01:49for non-compliance with asylum laws.
01:52The TITSA party leader also confirmed his intention to bring Hungary into the eurozone, signaling a significant shift toward deeper
02:00European integration after years of isolation.
02:08President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, says she wants to make swift and overdue progress in restoring
02:15ties between Brussels and Budapest.
02:17Her comments came a day after Peter Magyar secured a victory in the Hungarian election and put an end to
02:24Viktor Orbán's 16 years of uninterrupted power.
02:27Magyar and his TITSA party asked to win a supermajority, which he would need to undo the far-reaching reforms
02:34enacted by Viktor Orbán in his self-styled project of illiberal democracy.
02:39The people of Hungary have spoken and they have reclaimed their European path.
02:46It is a victory for fundamental freedoms.
02:50So with this result, our union is stronger.
02:54Our union is more united.
02:56It was an exceptional evening yesterday.
02:59Of course, we will start working with the government as soon as possible.
03:03Contacts between Brussels and Budapest are expected to begin immediately once Magyar formally takes office around mid-May.
03:12The European Commission is currently withholding roughly 17 billion euros in cohesion and COVID recovery funds due to an array
03:19of legal challenges with Budapest on the rule of law, judicial independence, academic freedom, asylum law and LGBTQ plus rights.
03:29Separately, Budapest is waiting for the Commission's green light for its 16 billion euros defence plan under SAFE, a loan
03:36-backed programme.
03:37For Magyar, the release of EU money is a top priority.
03:41The incoming Prime Minister believes the supermajority will help him pass the reforms needed and meet the criteria that the
03:48Commission has established as a precondition for unfreezing.
03:58The victory of Peter Maia and his TISA party is a very important moment for the EU and a historic
04:04moment for Hungary, former European Council President Charles Michel said on Monday.
04:10That's an important step for more European unity and I hope that it will allow the European Union to be
04:18more integrated, to be more ambitious and finally to make the decisions to make this European sovereignty not a slogan
04:26but to make it a reality.
04:28As a first move, the Hungarian politician said on Sunday that Hungary will join the European Public Prosecutor's Office, the
04:36body which investigates transnational and complex financial crimes.
04:40Magyar's priority is to tackle the necessary reforms to unblock the 17 billion euros frozen by the European Commission due
04:48to concerns regarding the rule of law in the country ruled until now by Viktor Orban.
04:54Now we have to see how the new government in Hungary will manage and will put in place reforms that
05:01are needed, will give the signals that what they have announced before the elections will become a reality in the
05:08country which will allow, I suppose, the European institutions to make decisions in favour of unleashing the financing for Hungary.
05:18Ukraine is also expected to benefit from Orbán's defeat after 16 years in power as the outgoing prime minister was
05:26known for blocking a 90 billion euros loan to Kiev.
05:34International oil prices surged on Monday after the peace talks between the United States and Iran failed over the weekend
05:42in Pakistan and as the U.S. military has announced a blockade of the Strait of Hummers.
05:48Brand crude and the West Texas Intermediate Delivery once again surpassed 100 U.S. dollars per barrel.
05:55The U.S. military said the blockade covering all Iranian ports would begin Monday at 5.30 p.m. local
06:03time in Iran.
06:04Oil prices have been fluctuating as shipping through the Strait has almost stalled since last February.
06:11Brand crude has risen from around $70 a barrel before the war to more than $119 at times.
06:19Meanwhile, Hungary's foreign interest surged against the euro and the Budapest stock index jumped 3% on Monday after the
06:27victory of Petr Magyar against Viktor Orbán in the Hungarian election.
06:38Germany plans to reduce the energy tax on diesel and petrol by around 17 cents per liter for two months.
06:45The decision comes in response to high fuel prices related to the Iran war.
07:06The high fuel prices are driven by the disruption to oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, through which around
07:13a fifth of global oil transports pass.
07:17Mertz said the government had also agreed to allow a one-off 1,000 euro relief bonus for workers, which
07:24is exempt from social security contributions and taxes.
07:33Russia's participation in a 2026 edition of the Venice Biennale continues to cause friction between Italian institutions and Brussels,
07:41with deep disagreements within Georgia Meloni's government.
07:46Italian media have reported that, in response to the planned reopening of the Russian pavilion at the event,
07:52the European Commission has initiated a procedure to freeze or revoke funding to the Biennale.
07:58A group of MEPs had earlier called on the European Commission to take urgent measures against the reopening of the
08:05Russian pavilion,
08:06which has been closed since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
08:10The Commission strongly condemned the decision of the Biennale management in a note published last month.
08:16The Commission has given 30 days to clarify its position.
08:21In the absence of a turnaround, the Biennale risks losing a grant of 2 million euros allocated until 2028.
08:29Russian participation in the 61st International Art Exhibition, which is scheduled to open on May 9th,
08:36is considered a violation of sanctions linked to the invasion of Ukraine.
08:41The Kiev government and 22 other EU countries have already protested against the reopening.

09:27This is a paper that is painted on a small boat.
09:31He builds a boat atelier, he puts on the boat atelier,
09:34and he paints it on his boat.
09:37That's why we have a very immersive aspect in Port Villers.
09:39It's very immersive, we're really at the level of water.
09:42So it's a paper that is painted with a large touch, very spontaneity,
09:46which is very characteristic of the beginning of the impressionnism.
10:04It's very characteristic of the art of Monet,
10:05who is very interested in the series system.
10:09We saw it with the Nymphéas, the Cathédrales of Rouen, the Meules.
10:13It's exactly the same place, and it paints the same subject,
10:17but with a different atmosphere, with a different horaire.
10:21Here, we have a view peinte the morning,
10:23so we have a very specific light,
10:25with absolutely magnificent tonalities in the water,
10:28made of mauves and roses.

10:44Brittany Spears has entered a Substance Abuse Treatment Facility just over a month
10:49after being arrested on suspicion of driving under influence of alcohol and drugs.
10:53A representative for the 44-year-old superstar confirmed she voluntarily checked herself into the facility.
10:59The move follows an incident on the 5th of March when California Highway Patrol officers
11:04stopped Spears for driving fast and erratically on Highway 101 near the Los Angeles County line.
11:10She was briefly detained in a county jail before her release.
11:14At the time, her representative described the singer's action as completely inexcusable,
11:18stating the arrest would ideally serve as the first step toward a long-overdue change in her life.
11:24Spears has largely stepped away from the music industry in recent years,
11:28having not toured since 2018 or released an album in nearly a decade.
11:33The Ventura County District Attorney's Office is currently reviewing the case
11:37and is expected to decide on formal charges before a scheduled court appearance in May.
