04:32المساعدة.

04:33So the bottom line is here.

04:35Do the benefits of speaking with Russia outweigh the risks,

04:39or do the risks outweigh the benefits?

04:41And when the Europeans manage to answer this question,

04:45they will be able to take a step forward.

04:47Well, they probably might need a little bit more time.

04:49More time indeed, for sure.

04:50Okay.

04:50Thank you so much for that very comprehensive update there.

04:53And for another view, coming up we'll be joined by Thomas Byrne,

04:57the Irish Minister for Defence and European Affairs.

05:00As Ireland prepares to take over the presidency

05:03of the Council of the European Union,

05:05the Fiannavale politician is in Brussels today

05:08to join EU defence ministers for more talks

05:11on how to support Ukraine and to boost European security.

05:14That's all in a context of an uncertain Middle East,

05:17with President Trump stating that the ceasefire with Iran

05:19is on, quote, life support.

05:21Good morning, Minister. Great to be with you.

05:22Morning, Maeve. How are you?

05:23Good. So, look, you'll be meeting defence ministers today.

05:26You'll be joined by the Ukrainian defence minister.

05:29Should we expect anything concrete?

05:30Well, look, I think we will be discussing lots of issues

05:32in the defence sphere.

05:33We had the discussion yesterday at the Foreign Affairs Council

05:35on Ukraine as well.

05:36I think Ukraine is very, very strong and forward

05:39in people's minds in Europe.

05:40So the question is, how do we best help Ukraine?

05:43Whether it's the provision of military materiel,

05:46whether it is through sanctions on Russia,

05:48whether it is through peace talks

05:50or indeed the enlargement of the European Union.

05:52I think there are so many different avenues for us

05:55to help Ukraine and to end this war.

05:57And on sanctions against Russia, a 21st package is being written

06:00as we speak.

06:01Something you probably have to push through during your presidency.

06:04Will it work, though, these sanctions?

06:05Well, look, we've achieved a huge amount.

06:07We have unanimity requirements for sanctions

06:09and we've got through 20 packages.

06:11So we'll do another package that we certainly hope

06:13and work is ongoing in relation to that.

06:15those sanctions have had an impact on the Russian economy,

06:18quite a significant impact on the Russian economy.

06:20They clearly haven't ended the war.

06:22But I think we need to continue putting the pressure on Russia

06:25and indeed on its people in order that they can somehow put pressure

06:28on Vladimir Putin.

06:30And this is the issue.

06:31The war is still ongoing.

06:32Some are floating the idea of potentially speaking to Russia,

06:34a conversation that's been going on for many, many months now.

06:37What is Ireland's view here?

06:38Well, look, we support continued sanctions.

06:41We support the enlargement of the EU to include Ukraine.

06:43And we've also supported when individual leaders have contacted

06:46Vladimir Putin in the past.

06:47We think it is important to allow that dialogue to take place

06:51if it's going to end the war.

06:53Is it time for a special envoy, an appointee?

06:55Well, look, I mean, that's a consideration for another day

06:58and that's a Vladimir Putin suggestion this week.

07:01So I don't think I'm going to lean into that.

07:03I think the focus has to be to support Ukraine.

07:05We have peace talks which the Americans have been facilitating.

07:08And we've been very supportive of those peace talks.

07:11And if there were to be a place for the European Union,

07:13I think we'd be supportive of that as well.

07:15But, of course, coming into presidency mode,

07:17Ireland, of course, has to take into account the views

07:19of the member states.

07:20And, of course, Kai Callas and Antonio Costa make, you know,

07:24get the consensus of the member states on foreign policy issues.

07:27And on consensus, there was one move last night here in Brussels

07:31regarding sanctions against settlers in the West Bank.

07:34This was allowed, of course, because of the new change of government in Hungary.

07:38Will these have much of an impact, though, on the ground?

07:40Well, look, I think it's very, very welcome that Hungary has changed its position on this

07:43and that if all the member states of the European Union agreeing on this,

07:46I think this is a step forward.

07:47I think there is more that we can do to help people in Palestine.

07:50But I think this is very, very welcome.

07:52Nobody disagrees with this now around the European table.

07:55I think it does send a message to people that the European Union is responding

07:58to genuinely serious concerns that people have.

08:01And what else could change now that there's a new government in Hungary?

08:04Well, look, we await discussions with them, but I mean, obviously,

08:07the Hungarian government up to now has blocked the opening of accession talks

08:11formally with Ukraine.

08:12That's something that we'd like to see change.

08:14They obviously have to negotiate a significant amount of money to be paid into Hungary that they would have been

08:20entitled to,

08:21but for the actions of the previous government.

08:23So I think there's a lot of work going to happen in relation to that in the next few weeks

08:26and months.

08:27And just a final question. The Eurovision is starting, of course, tonight.

08:29You won't be watching. Ireland is boycotting the music festival.

08:33Are you disappointed other countries didn't join in your boycott?

08:35It's not a matter for the government.

08:37RTE is taking that decision themselves.

08:39People in Ireland can watch BBC and other channels as well if they wish to watch it.

08:43This is a decision that RTE has taken.

08:45Do you support it?

08:46Look, we don't get involved.

08:47We're not hungry.

08:48We don't get involved in telling the media what to do in Ireland.

08:50So I think it's important that they have their independence.

08:53They've decided this independently.

08:55And that's the decision for them to take in relation to their audience.

08:58The independence of RTE, I think, is something that has been critical and central to our democracy over the decades.

09:02Okay, Minister Thomas-Byrne, thank you so much for coming in to us.

09:05And best of luck with your long day of talks.

09:07Here, and now to the UK, where Keir Starmer's hold on power appears to be slipping away.

09:13Cabinet ministers have asked him to set out a timetable for his departure.

09:17Despite this, the UK is still trying to reset relations with Brussels and set the agenda abroad.

09:22Our EU correspondent, Angela Skudins, spoke to the UK-Europe minister

09:26and started by asking him about Downing Street's role in supporting abducted Ukrainian children.

09:31Russia, as I said, has taken tens of thousands of these children,

09:35identifying where they are, making sure that we understand where they've gone.

09:41They've gone all over Russia, in many cases forcibly adopted,

09:45and in some cases taken to camps, indoctrinated, in some cases taught to try and hate where they came from.

09:53It's one of the most shocking things, I think, that I've ever heard of.

09:57And that's why today, also, we are announcing new sanctions on individuals and organisations

10:04who are behind this practice, building on the sanctions that we've already introduced.

10:08Tell me a little bit more about the sanctions, as well as that 1.3 million euro equivalent injection

10:14that has been pumped into this fight.

10:16Well, that money comes on top of money that we've already put into some of the pilot tracing programmes

10:21and initiatives which are doing this crucially important work on identifying these children and where they've gone.

10:28But on top of that, it is about exposing and holding to account those who are responsible.

10:33And as I said, that's not just individuals, that's also organisations and locations

10:38which have been used for these indoctrination camps

10:41and attempts to turn Ukrainian children against their culture and their heritage and their history.

10:47And that's what's the most heinous part of this, really, is this.

10:50It's not only what's being done to these children directly,

10:52but it's that attempt to destroy Ukrainian culture, history, language.

10:57And that very much sits at the horrific way in which Putin has prosecuted this war.

11:04Absolutely. Let's look at the recent election over the weekend in Britain.

11:08How is the government of Keir Starmer digesting this news,

11:12which saw Labour lose quite disastrously in the local election, the council elections, pardon,

11:18and saw the Reform UK doing quite well?

11:21Well, the Prime Minister set out his response very clearly in a speech this morning.

11:26He has accepted responsibility for where there have been significant challenges,

11:31particularly in the way that we're communicating with the country

11:34and that people are anxious for change and change to happen faster.

11:38But I'm very proud of our record as a government

11:40and what we're doing on health, on education, on transport,

11:44on bringing children out of poverty, on increasing the minimum wage,

11:48on the greatest transformation of workers' rights in a generation,

11:51our investments in renewable energy, our new police on the streets.

11:55And we all have a job to do to communicate that more clearly

11:59and to provide hope and optimism about the future in what is a very, very difficult time.

12:03And what he was acknowledging absolutely this morning is that people are still feeling the pinch in their pocket.

12:08They're seeing conflict around the world.

12:10They're seeing pressure on energy prices.

12:11And we as a government have to be seen to be responding to that.

12:15And we are. And we will continue to do so.

12:17But he's also made it quite a big, strong point of his policy platform to reset relations between the UK

12:24and the EU.

12:25Does this, the results at the ballot box suggest that perhaps Britons don't actually want this?

12:31Well, he set out very clearly this morning that, you know, a lot of the things that were told us

12:35about Brexit by Nigel Farage and reform were simply not true.

12:39He said it would make us richer. It hasn't.

12:41He said it would bring down migration.

12:43In fact, migration had gone up, although we're taking significant steps to reduce irregular migration.

12:49And of course, he made a load of other false promises about the so-called sunny uplands that would come.

12:56And that hasn't been the case.

12:57So the prime minister has set out very clearly.

12:59We need to be working closely with our European partners on the economy, on security, on defence and internationally in

13:05what is a very turbulent world.

13:07And that's exactly what we will be doing in the run up to the next UK EU summit.

13:10and what we're trying to achieve through our agreements on agriculture and food, on energy, on a youth experience scheme.

13:18That's what he set out this morning. It's what we're all working towards.

13:21Do you have a date for that summit?

13:22We don't have a fixed date yet, but it will be this summer.

13:26And we're working on an ambitious agenda.

13:30And of course, we will keep a very close eye on that summit and report on it.

13:34But now, farmer groups are furious about rising energy and fertiliser costs.

13:40Since the war in Iran and high gas prices, fertilisers are becoming very expensive to produce.

13:45And farmers were hoping for serious support from Brussels.

13:49Now, the European Commission will come out with the Fertiliser Action Plan next Tuesday.

13:53But the leaked version so far has not impressed farmer groups.

13:57For more, we can bring in now Maximiliano Gian Santi.

14:00That's the president of COPA, a group that represents no less than 22 million farmers all across Europe.

14:07So thank you so much for joining us. Good morning to you.

14:10And tell us first your thoughts on the leaked version of this draft Fertiliser Action Plan

14:15that will come out next Tuesday here in Brussels.

14:18Hello. Good morning.

14:19The situation in the countries is serious and critical.

14:23We have seen a significant increase in fertilisers and energy costs,

14:27in particular on the fertiliser side.

14:30The price of urea has passed from 300 euros for a ton to 1,000 euros for a ton.

14:36So the farmers are really, really tough.

14:40The situation is not so good.

14:42The first leaks on the action plan on next week is not what we expect, but it's leaks.

14:49So we have to see.

14:50We have three clear requests to the commission.

14:54First of all, to suspend the seed bump tax.

14:58The seed bump tax is another cost for the consumers because the farmers must pay for this year

15:05more or less 1 billion euros more just in taxes.

15:09And we will arrive at 3.4 billion euros in the next year.

15:13So much money for farmers.

15:16Second one, more flexibility in the use of the nitric directive.

15:22In this moment, we have to use all what we have inside of our farms.

15:27Why we have to go on the market to buy and spend so much money.

15:31Third, to have a temporary removal of MFN tariffs on duties on the fertiliser imports.

15:39It's very important. Why?

15:41Because the risk is to have increasingly prices in the cost for farmers.

15:48And that means the farmers are going to switch to change their programme.

15:53The FAO says we are on face on an agri-shot and agri-food inflation.

16:00And that is what we don't want to have.

16:03Well, indeed, that was my next question for consumers.

16:05What's at stake here for them?

16:07Could we be facing food shortages in your view?

16:11The risk is to have an increasing price on the food, yes.

16:15And what we saw in the past that on the example in the Ukrainian war in 2022,

16:24later six to nine months, we had a seriously increasing in the price of the food.

16:30and the risk is to have the same thing also this time.

16:34So the time to act is now.

16:36And this is why we make pressure on the commissioner.

16:40The farmers is not just an expended money for commission.

16:46It's food security.

16:48And the food security is what the European citizens want by the farmers.

16:52So you've got three very clear demands there for the European Commission.

16:55But of course, you won't get exactly what you want.

16:57Do you think the commission might meet you here in the middle?

16:59Have you high expectations ahead of Tuesday's proposal?

17:03I don't know.

17:04Let's see.

17:05The expectations are very, very high because the situation is really critical.

17:09There is a lot of farmers that are using less fertilisers.

17:13That means we have less production on the next summer on wheat, for example.

17:18The wheat is at the basis for bread or pasta.

17:22So and the risk is that the farmers on the next September are going to have different choices on the

17:28next sowing time.

17:30Okay.

17:31Thank you so much for that.

17:32We'll check in again with you, of course, next Tuesday.

17:34But now we move on to a heartbreaking story that has brought a number of families together in France at

17:40stake here.

17:40The tech giant TikTok, they say, is responsible for the death of their teenagers.

17:44Jacob Yanis tells us more.

17:48Sixteen French families have launched an unusual collective complaint against TikTok,

17:53accusing the social media platform of a systematic abuse of weakness.

17:57And while US-style class actions are rare in the French legal system,

18:01this group is united by a tragic common thread.

18:04Five of their children have died by suicide.

18:07And according to France Info, their lawyer describes the algorithm as a digital crack,

18:13designed to trap teenagers in mental prisons that could lead to self-harm and depression.

18:19Let's investigate.

18:22This legal battle is fueling President Macron's push for a total social media ban for those under 15,

18:28planned for this September.

18:29This digital shield would also ban mobile phones in high schools across the country.

18:35And Brussels follows.

18:37A new EU age verification app is now ready for rollout

18:40and is expected to be available for public download by this summer.

18:45It allows teenagers to prove their age using zero-knowledge technology,

18:49meaning they can verify their identity without handing over private data to tech giants.

18:53For years, platforms argued that checking ages created too many risks to data protection.

18:59But with this new technology, the European Commission says they are now no more excuses.

19:04It is for parents to raise their children and not for platforms.

19:10However, some experts remain unconvinced.

19:12Critics argue that the EU app is a quick technical fix for a structural problem

19:17and they insist the danger isn't the user's age.

19:19But the addictives recommend the systems that platforms refuse to change.

19:23One thing is certain though.

19:25France is effectively declaring a public health emergency against big tech.

19:29And for these families, the status quo is no longer an option.

19:38Jakob Jan is there on a story being watched carefully here in Brussels.

19:42And speaking of the Belgian capital, if you are trying to get in or out of it today, you won't.

19:46As Belgium's three largest trade unions are striking over retirement age laws.

19:51So there's major disruptions at Brussels airport.

19:53For more on that story or anything else we're covering, do visit Euronews.com.

19:58But that brings this edition to an end.

19:59Reach out to us here at Europe today at Euronews.com if you have any comments or pointers.

20:04Take care.

20:05Thanks for watching and see you very soon.

20:17Bye.

20:21Bye.

20:46Bye.
