11:55Were convinced...
11:55That this is something...
11:56That should have been done...
11:57A long time ago...
11:58We are now members of NATO...
12:00We align ourselves...
12:01Much more with the services...
12:03Of other countries...
12:04We need to develop technology...
12:07A lot more...
12:08Become better at looking...
12:09Into open source intelligence...
12:11And all of that...
12:13Is on the plate of a new agency...
12:15And on those elections...
12:17Taking place...
12:17Israel-Sweden relations...
12:19Will also play a big role...
12:21We know that Sweden did recognise the state of Palestine,
12:23but this decision could be reversed.
12:24Which camp are you in here?
12:26No, I think that we should not reverse that.
12:28I mean, we made our decision
12:30and people should be able to trust our decisions
12:32when it comes to foreign policy.
12:34So I don't see that there will be a change in that regard.
12:38However, I see the necessity to put more pressure on Israel
12:41because we're so worried about the development in Gaza.
12:44Not a lot of focus there right now
12:46because there is so much going on in the rest of the world.
12:49But the situation is still horrible for people living there
12:53and the situation on the West Bank is deteriorating.
12:57So we need to put more pressure on it.
12:58And today you could sign off on sanctions on violent settlers in Israel.
13:02I hope we will be able to do that,
13:04but we should also move forward with sanctions
13:06on extremist ministers in the Israeli government.
13:10Okay, Minister, a lot, of course, on your plates today
13:12at that foreign minister's meeting, as always.
13:15Thank you so much for coming in to us.
13:16But now, moving on, Brussels is still digesting the outcome
13:21of the local elections in the UK last week
13:23that saw the former Brexiteer Nigel Farage rise through the ranks
13:2710 years on since the Brexit referendum.
13:29The question now is what this result will mean for EU-UK ties
13:32and, of course, the political future of Labour's Keir Starmer.
13:36Our Jakub Janus takes a look.
13:39To the victor go the spoils.
13:41Nigel Farage's pro-Brexit Reform UK party
13:44became the biggest winner of last week's English local elections,
13:47gaining over 1,400 council seats.
13:50We have absolutely stormed it.
13:53These are historic results.
13:56And as they were mostly gained from Labour,
13:58all attention turned to its leader.
14:10But is his time in number 10 already on the clock?
14:15Despite a massive Westminster majority,
14:18last Thursday's local election buttering
14:20has left Starmer on notice.
14:22And, ironically, this majority makes him easier to criticise.
14:26His own party members feel safe breaking ranks
14:29because the government is not at immediate risk of falling.
14:33And ousting a Labour leader is much harder than a Tory.
14:36According to the Labour Party rulebook,
14:38rivals need 81 MPs to go public,
14:41just to trigger a vote.
14:43And while the trade unions and party members stay quiet,
14:47Starmer holds a structural shield
14:49that makes him safer than the headlines suggest.
14:52And with Britain's economy hurt post-Brexit,
14:54Starmer is pursuing a high-stakes pivot.
14:58At a recent summit in Armenia,
15:00he opened talks to join the EU 90 billion euro loan for Ukraine.
15:04And it seems to be a cash-for-play strategy.
15:07The UK helps to pay the interest
15:09in exchange for British defence firms accessing EU contracts.
15:13Ultimately, Starmer's future depends on how the next election is framed.
15:17If the conversation stays on the economy
15:20and closer ties to the EU,
15:22he's more likely to stay in power
15:24because public sentiment on Brexit has soured.
15:26But if the framing shifts to migration,
15:29Nigel Farage and Reform UK hold the advantage.
15:33And for now, the English public
15:34is left to see whether his grand vision for the country
15:37can survive a stark reality of local politics.
15:45Jakob Janis there on a story that's been closely watched here from Brussels.
15:50But now, just over one month or under one month after historic elections,
15:54Hungary's new Prime Minister, Béter Maillard,
15:56was sworn in on Saturday in Budapest,
15:58bringing an end to Viktor Orbán's 16 years in power.
16:02Tens of thousands of Hungarians
16:04gathered outside the iconic Parliament building in Budapest
16:07to celebrate the moment.
16:08And for more now on what challenges face the new Prime Minister,
16:11I'm joined by our Hungarian correspondent,
16:13Sándor Zíros.
16:14So we're looking at those pictures there
16:16that quite frankly resemble a festival
16:18or a big, huge party,
16:19but huge expectations now on Béter Maillard.
16:22Their voters are euphoric,
16:23but the question, will he be able to deliver?
16:25Tell us more about this moment.
16:27Well, good morning.
16:28As you said,
16:28Béter Maillard made sure that everyone in Hungary
16:31during the weekend talks about his inauguration.
16:34They made a huge show,
16:36a huge festival out of these events.
16:39There was a children's corps playing in the chamber.
16:42Some deputies were crying.
16:44The minister was dancing.
16:46Béter Maillard made even the DJ.
16:48And then overnight there was a huge festival,
16:51a huge fiesta celebrating the end of the Orbán's government
16:55and the start of the new government.
16:58Now for the substance,
16:59Béter Maillard said that this is not a simple change of government,
17:03but a change of system
17:04and he's opening a new era in the Hungarian history.
17:09He criticized Orbán for his corruption
17:11and he warned for investigations against him.
17:16He also called for resignation of the Hungarian president,
17:20Tamás Súlyok, whom he called a puppet of Orbán.
17:23And he called for a new style of governance in Hungary.
17:29Let's take a listen of what he said.
17:30A country can be lifted up
17:36by a few courageous and honest decisions,
17:39but it can also be destroyed by selfishness and arrogance.
17:43That is precisely what I would like to state clearly here
17:46in the House of Hungarian Democracy and Constitutionalism,
17:49that I will not rule over Hungary.
17:51I will serve my country.
17:52I will serve my country.
17:55I'm very enthusiastic.
17:56Béter Maillard there, the new prime minister of Hungary.
17:59But Sander, what about Viktor Orbán?
18:00What is his legacy?
18:01He seems to have just disappeared from the political sphere.
18:04Exactly.
18:05He seems a little bit disappearing.
18:07And I feel like he's not taking this electoral defeat very lightly.
18:12So, for example, on Saturday, he was supposed to be in the parliament having his farewell speech
18:17and handing over the power in person to Peter Maillard, but he didn't show up.
18:22He's also not taking his parliamentary mandate, which is highly unusual and not traditional in many aspects.
18:30But Orbán wants to continue his fight.
18:34He wants to stay as the head of the Fidesz Party.
18:37He wants to reorganize Fidesz Party.
18:40But there are cracks already on his legacy.
18:43And what we call the Orbán system is already cracking.
18:47There are many investigations running already against his associates,
18:52for example, for corruption or misuse of power.
18:55Many of his associates are trying to change sides and trying to get connected to the new government.
19:03And what is really remarkable, Orbán's media machine is largely silenced.
19:09All of these pro-Orbanist voices in the Hungarian media are disappearing.
19:14OK, Sander Zeros, thank you so much for those insights.
19:17And we can read, of course, longer reads from Sander Zeros on the challenges now facing Peter Maillard.
