06:54This is why it is first and foremost for the Ukrainians
06:58to show for their own people and for us
07:01that everything is in good shape.
07:05And talks on security and defence will continue today
07:08in Bucharest in the president of Ukraine's President Zelensky
07:11and NATO's eastern flank countries.
07:14But now moving on, EU institutions are getting ready
07:17for a long bank holiday weekend here in Belgium.
07:20But it won't be relaxing given nerves are high
07:23over President Donald Trump's big trip to China tonight.
07:27With Brussels often caught up in the middle of the two great superpowers,
07:31this trip will be closely watched.
07:32Our Jakub Janus tells us why you should watch it too.
07:37For the first time since 2017, Donald Trump visits...
07:41China.
07:42China.
07:42China.
07:43China.
07:44Yeah, I think you got it.
07:46Meeting Xi Jinping to discuss Iran, nuclear weapons, trade and AI.
07:50The self-styled dealmaker arrives with a weakened hand.
07:54Because let me tell you, you don't have the cards.
07:56And between the increasingly unpopular Iran war at home
07:59and domestic courts striking down his tariffs,
08:02Trump needs a win.
08:04So your reporters started to wonder,
08:06what could this mean for Europe?
08:09All right, first, the security bargain.
08:13Xi Jinping wants a signal that Washington is stepping back from Taiwan.
08:16And if Trump treats the island's security as a bargaining chip to secure China's help
08:21in ending the war in Iran,
08:23he might hollow out Europe's own strategic commitments in the Indo-Pacific.
08:28And Trump is also under pressure to relax chip exports' controls for quick business deals.
08:33And if he treats away this edge,
08:36Washington and Beijing will set the global standards for AI alone,
08:40with Europe becoming just a rule-taker, not maker.
08:44And finally, there is the trade squeeze.
08:46European firms are already struggling to compete with cheap Chinese goods at home.
08:51So if Trump relaxes tariffs,
08:53the flood of cheaper electronic vehicles and steel
08:56might result in European exporters losing their competitive advantage in the US
09:01to the same Chinese rivals that are already flooding European shores.
09:06And speaking of trade,
09:08let's not forget Trump has given the EU a deadline until the 4th of July
09:11to finalize a new US-EU trade deal or face 25% tariffs on cars.
09:18And in Brussels, the center-right EPP group is rushing to settle,
09:22as a weekend Trump could turn his attention towards Europe next.
09:26However, socialists are standing firm,
09:29insisting that European legislation will not be shaped by threats on social media.
09:35Huh, and it's a cliché to say that the Chinese word for crisis,
09:39wei chi, is translated as a danger and opportunity.
09:43And while wei is indeed danger,
09:46a better translation for chi is a crucial point.
09:50And it seems that for Europe that crucial point is happening now.
09:59And now for the view from Australia on Trump's China trip
10:02and the freshly signed EU-Australia trade deal,
10:05I'm joined here in the studio by the Australian ambassador
10:07to the European Union and NATO.
10:09That is Mr Angus Campbell.
10:11Good morning and welcome to Europe Today.
10:12Hi Maeve, thanks very much.
10:14Great, so as we're sitting here,
10:15President Trump is en route to China
10:17with tech leaders like Elon Musk and Tim Cook.
10:20What are you looking out for during this?
10:21Look, it's clearly a very important meeting.
10:24And it's important for the two countries, it's important for the world.
10:27A constructive relationship between China and the United States
10:31is something that I think we all hope for.
10:34And indeed, there are many issues that if they work together
10:37can be of great benefit to our world.
10:40So I wish them success and I'm very pleased
10:45and I think that we should all be very pleased
10:46that they are talking and that a summit is occurring.
10:50And it's now up to the dialogue and what outcomes might emerge.
10:56And of course, Australia signed a massive trade deal
10:59with Brussels this very year,
11:00precisely to reduce dependencies on China for critical raw materials.
11:04Will that work though?
11:05Look, we're delighted with the free trade agreement.
11:08The negotiations have concluded.
11:10President von der Leyen visited Australia
11:12to make the announcement with Prime Minister Albanese.
11:15The process now sees the agreement go through the ratification mechanisms.
11:22But this is a deal that's been negotiated for 10 years.
11:26Very careful, very sensitive,
11:28acknowledging concerns and interests on both sides.
11:31And I'm confident that we're seeing a balance deal here,
11:36which is comprehensive,
11:38which is going to be a benefit to both sides.
11:40And it brings the two communities closer together.
11:44Australians trading into Europe,
11:45Europeans trading into Australia.
11:47Almost all barriers and tariffs removed.
11:51It's a good deal.
11:51It's a good deal.
11:52But will that help you wean off the dependencies on China?
11:54We have a constructive and a very significant trading relationship with China.
11:59And I think that that's going to continue.
12:01But we have a diverse trading relationship across the world.
12:04So Australia trades into North America,
12:09into the ASEAN nations,
12:11to South Asia, North Asia, into Europe.
12:14We're an island continent dependent on global trade,
12:19on the rules of trade.
12:20And free trade agreements matter because they enable the prosperity for all.
12:27And defence plays a big role as well in this trade deal.
12:30Tell us more.
12:30And do Australians support the fact that you're helping Ukraine?
12:33So in parallel to the announcement of the negotiations
12:36of a free trade agreement coming to conclusion,
12:39there was also the announcement of a security and defence partnership
12:42between Australia and the EU.
12:44And that's another step forward in building a relationship
12:48across the breadth of security and defence,
12:51often in areas of hybrid or advanced technology
12:55or things that are geographically borderless.
12:59And are Australian taxpayers comfortable with this?
13:01And people are very supportive of the idea that we reach out
13:04and we build more connections with more friends on more issues
13:09because by doing so,
13:10we are better prepared in a world that's perhaps less predictable
13:14and more complex.
13:15And with a very transactional president as well in the White House.
13:18One final question on the social media ban
13:20that the European Union wants to copy from Australia.
13:22Is it working though?
13:23How are you enforcing it?
13:24So the social media ban is about a relationship
13:27with the large social media companies.
13:29A bipartisan parliamentary concern for the wellbeing of our children
13:34and indeed the increasing evidence scientifically of that concern.
13:38And a relationship with those social media companies
13:42to see their restraint on access until the age of 16 for young people in Australia.
13:49And we think it's the right way to move.
13:52And we note that many countries are now looking at similar models.
13:56And I think it's about the effort that you apply
14:00and the effort that collectively is applied
14:03to see a change in the normative behaviour
14:06of what we understand as social media
14:08and how it might affect our kids.
14:10Indeed, it's certainly been closely watched.
14:11Ambassador Campbell, thank you so much for coming into us here on Europe Today.
14:14Thanks, May.
14:15And now to Budapest, where Hungary's new government,
14:18led by Péter Maillard, has been officially sworn in for the next four years.
14:22The new Prime Minister promises to restore public trust
14:25and rebuild Hungary's international ties.
14:27For the latest, we can head straight to the Hungarian capital
14:30and bring in our correspondent, Joltán Ziboshegi.
14:33Good morning, Joltán.
14:34Just tell us who is who in this new government
14:37and what are their first priorities?
14:40Good morning, Europe Today.
14:42So actually, this new government is really diverse
14:45Peter Magyar promised during the campaign
14:48that nobody can be a minister who was a chief politician
14:53in the last government.
14:55But actually, this promise was not fully kept
14:57because, for example, the new transport minister
15:00previously was the public transportation company's leader
15:04here in Budapest and also a far relative of Viktor Orban.
15:08Quite a different minister served as chief of staff
15:11during the previous political era.
15:13The finance minister had also worked as a state of secretary
15:18in Viktor Orban's second government,
15:20but now he promises to introduce the euro around 2013.
15:25Most members of the new cabinet have been close allies
15:28for Peter Magyar since two years from the really beginning
15:32of his movement, and most of them, they are conservative.
15:34One notable exception is Balint Roof, the minister leading the prime minister's office,
15:42who was a really big critic of the Orban government
15:47and a really popular podcaster.
15:49He promised the biggest investigation in Hungary's history
15:54against the corruption cases.
15:56The government also includes internationally respected businessmen.
16:01The new interior minister, for example, is a former leader of Decathlon,
16:06and also the economic minister was a top manager for Shell.
16:10Peter Magyar has also a small scandal because he appointed his brother-in-law
16:16as a minister of justice, but after seeing the public rage, he changed his mind.
16:21And so the technocrat government now tries to rebuild all the international ties,
16:26same as the schools and hospitals.
16:29And first and foremost, the most important,
16:31they tried to take home the 10 billion euros EU found what was frozen.
16:36And according to our sources, it's not going to be easy.
16:39We hope that all the ministers will work with that passion,
16:43how our health minister was performing his iconic dance,
16:48what was viral on the whole internet.
16:50Absolutely. That dance was something else.
16:53Joltan Siboshegi, thank you so much for that live update there from Budapest.
16:57Now moving on, EU ambassadors will be getting together today
17:00for the very first time to come up with a joint plan
17:04for containing the spread of the deadly hantavirus.
17:06For an expert opinion, we can bring in now
17:09Professor Luke O'Neill from Trinity College in Dublin.
17:12Good morning, Luke O'Neill.
17:14Normally I tell my guests, lovely to have you with us,
17:16but in this case, when I see you, it's normally for bad news.
17:19But just tell us, we're hearing the World Health Organisation says
17:22there's no risk to the general population
17:24and the hantavirus is not like COVID-19.
17:27What is your view here?
17:29That's exactly correct.
17:30Yeah, it's not like COVID at all.
17:32It's a different virus, different disease course.
17:35Very rare, this disease, the hantavirus causes overall.
17:38Extremely rare.
17:39You know, unfortunately, of course,
17:40this outbreak on that cruise ship has happened.
17:42Now we need a bit of caution because it's got a high mortality,
17:45is one worry, 40% people might die of this.
17:48But it's extremely rare.
17:49So it's nothing to worry about at the moment.
17:51As long as we contain it properly, of course, is the key thing.
17:53As long as we can contain it properly.
17:54But people are alarmed because the headlines are alarming,
17:57bringing us back to those days of COVID.
18:00What would your advice to people be?
18:03Don't worry.
18:04Don't worry at all at the moment.
18:05I mean, let's just keep an eye on it.
18:07And all the great and the good,
18:08the CDC and the US, of course, in Europe as well,
18:11our agencies are keeping a very close eye on this.
18:13I mean, clearly, it's a bit scary,
18:15given the level of mortality that we've seen reported.
18:18People have died of this virus.
18:19It's extremely rare.
18:20Remember, in Argentina, about 100 cases per year
18:24out of a population of about 40 million.
18:26That's how rare it is as a disease, you know.
18:28But again, it's something to watch.
18:29Our initial fear was the virus might have changed.
18:32It might have been worse.
18:33That's not the case.
18:34It's the Andes strain of Hanta.
18:36And it's been seen for years and years.
18:38We know a fair bit about this.
18:40We do.
18:40And of course, more cases are expected
18:42after the long isolation periods.
18:44And EU ambassadors will be gathering today
18:46here in Brussels for the very first time to discuss this.
18:48But of course, as you say, it's not an emergency.
18:50But what would your advice be
18:51to those politicians in the room today?
18:56Well, one good thing is it is a real disease in South America.
18:59So we may learn more about it anyway from this incident.
19:01That might help the situation in South America
19:03where it's more common.
19:05And the second thing is, of course,
19:06we need to be a little bit cautious.
19:07You can understand why they're meeting,
19:08because it's all over the media.
19:10European citizens are concerned, of course.
19:12So anything we can do to reassure people
19:14is the most important thing, I feel.
19:16And at the moment, you're right.
19:17The funny thing about this virus is
19:18it can incubate in the body for 40 days.
19:21In other words, you can catch it.
19:22No symptoms for a week or two.
19:24Hence the 42-day quarantine.
19:26There's two Irish people, many nationalities,
19:28stuck in quarantine for the next few weeks,
19:30just in case the disease emerges.
19:32And that makes perfect sense to keep an eye on these people.
19:34Okay, Professor Luke O'Neill,
19:36thank you so much for joining us
19:37and sharing your expert opinion with us here
