01:19But first, Syria is in the spotlight this week
01:22With Damascus holding high-level political talks
01:24With the European Union here in Brussels
01:26In an exclusive sit-down with Euronews
01:29Syria's foreign minister said the country will not allow a
01:32Rushed, unorganised return of Syrian citizens
01:36From Europe
01:37Minister Assad Hassan al-Shaibani calls
01:40On the European Union to support the reconstruction
01:42Of his country after
01:44The brutal civil war
01:45Our European editor Maria Tadeo sat down with the minister
01:48And is here on set this morning to bring us
01:50Up to speed. First, tell us about these
01:52Talks in Brussels. Well, Maeve
01:54The talks obviously come at a
01:56Pivotal moment for Syria. This is a country
01:58That is clearly in a political
02:01Transition is coming off
02:02Of two very difficult
02:04Decades, completely turbulent
02:05On a political front, a civil war that
02:08Lasted almost 14 years, very
02:10Brutal. Obviously that also led to
02:12A massive wave of
02:14Syrians who left the country
02:16Many of which, of course
02:18Ended up in Europe
02:20The authorities now in
02:22Syria, led by President al-Shara
02:24They argued that this is a moment
02:26To rebuild, reconstruct
02:28And make this country more
02:30Stable. They have, of course
02:32Reached out to the United States
02:33They are in close ties with Turkey
02:36The Gulf countries, but another key
02:37Partner in this, and they say this openly
02:40This came up multiple times in my interview
02:42With the foreign minister, is the
02:43European Union. At this stage
02:45As it stands, the European Union has
02:47Lifted sanctions on Syria to give
02:50The economy a breather. It also
02:51Is now moving into the full implementation
02:53Of a cooperation agreement
02:55Between the two countries
02:57Obviously the goal, again, is for the EU
02:59To play what they argue would be
03:01A stabilizer role in the country
03:03And for Syria, it's about
03:05Rebuilding the economy, so we have
03:06Conditions for people to return
03:08And get this country back on track
03:10To the extent that it's possible
03:11In the shortest amount of time
03:13Now, the EU, however, will say
03:15To fully restore ties with Syria
03:17The authorities, the government
03:19There needs to ensure that the
03:20Minorities, both religious and ethnic
03:23Are respected, and they have
03:24Equal rights. This principle of inclusivity
03:26Is incredibly important for Brussels
03:28So the message that was stressed to the
03:30Syrians, as I'm told by a number of
03:32Diplomats, is that yes, there is a window
03:34Of opportunity. The EU wants to see
03:36A partnership that could see this country
03:38Finally becoming stable in
03:40The Middle East. They also see it as a way
03:42To counter what they describe our malign
03:44Actors, including Russia, of course, a sad flood
03:46To Moscow immediately after
03:48His fall. But they also insist this
03:50Principle of inclusivity is incredibly
03:52Important for the European Union
03:53To move ahead. And the issue, of course, of
03:55Migration played a big role as well in these
03:57Well, this is absolutely a huge topic
04:00As it stands, because
04:01Not just when you look at it through the prism of the EU
04:04But really, European governments
04:06We are seeing that the political landscape
04:08In Europe is changing. Obviously
04:09The discourse around migration
04:11Asylum rules and refugee
04:14Status, which are three different things
04:15To some extent, is certainly
04:17Much tougher. It has really hardened
04:20Germany, which is a country that took
04:21In the highest number of Syrians
04:23Has now completely changed its narrative
04:25From we will manage
04:26Dealing with almost one million people
04:28Who arrived in Germany
04:30To now the Chancellor is saying
04:31We need to accelerate the returns
04:33Because the war is over
04:34And they need to rebuild this country
04:36That was a question that I put to
04:38Syria's Foreign Minister Al-Shabani
04:40And he told me, yes, they agree
04:41There is a need to rebuild the country
04:43But it will not be chaotic
04:45Syria has not committed to a specific number
04:47Of people returning to the country
04:49Let's take a look
04:49There was no agreement on this matter
04:54And there was no agreement on the number of Syrians
04:57To return to Syria
04:59There has been talks about Syrian refugees in Europe
05:01And in Germany in particular
05:02And there are talks and an agreement on a mechanism
05:05That will not hinder the process of reconstruction in Syria
05:08Today
05:09This is another thing I do not agree with
05:11Especially since today European countries
05:13No longer accept granting asylum
05:15To those who leave Syria
05:16Especially since today they believe
05:18That the situation in Syria evolved
05:20With a secure and stable law
05:21However, we have warned against this matter
05:24That imposing an involuntary
05:26And undignified return of Syrians
05:28Will lead to chaos in Syria
05:30And that the situation in Syria
05:31Needs to create an appropriate environment
05:33There will be an argument
05:35And you can watch the rest of that interview on Euronews
05:39But now EU defence ministers have wrapped up talks in Brussels
05:43With the bloc's top diplomat Kaya Callas
05:45Expressing frustration over the lack of progress
05:48In boosting arms production here in the EU
05:51A big focus of the talks was also
05:53On how Ukraine should use a slice
05:55Of the €90 billion loan for defence acquisitions
05:58Our EU correspondent Angela Skugins
06:01Asked Estonia's defence minister
06:03That's Hanno Pevkor
06:04How confident he was though
06:05That these EU funds won't be misused
06:08This is in light of course
06:09Of the corruption scandal
06:10Engulfing Selensky's former chief of staff
06:12Andrew Yermak
06:14Well, we need to have the accountability in place
06:17So there is no question
06:19I believe it is definitely something
06:22Ukrainians are looking into very like seriously
06:26Because it's also important for them
06:29That there are no like rumours
06:31Or no problems involved with that kind of assistance
06:35Because at the end of the day
06:37They need to get this support up and running
06:40For next years to come
06:43And then even when the war will be over
06:44Or if the war will be over
06:46Then Ukrainians still need our assistance
06:48Our help
06:49So to rebuild Ukraine
06:50And to help them to be a normal European country
06:54So this is why it is first and foremost
06:56For the Ukrainians to show for their own people
06:59And for us that everything is in good shape
07:05And talks on security and defence will continue today
07:08In Bucharest in the president of Ukraine's
07:10President Zelensky
07:11And NATO's eastern flank countries
07:14But now moving on
07:15EU institutions are getting ready
07:17For a long bank holiday weekend here in Belgium
07:20But it won't be relaxing
07:22Given nerves are high
07:23Over President Donald Trump's
07:25Big trip to China tonight
07:26With Brussels often caught up
07:28In the middle of the two great superpowers
07:30This trip will be closely watched
07:32Our Jakob Janis tells us
07:34Why you should watch it too
07:37For the first time since 2017
07:39Donald Trump visits
07:41China
07:41China is China
07:42China
07:44China
07:44Yeah, I think you got it
07:46Meeting Xi Jinping to discuss Iran
07:48Nuclear weapons, trade and AI
07:50The self-styled dealmaker arrives with a weakened hand
07:53Because let me tell you
07:55You 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 reporter started to wonder
08:06What could this mean for Europe?
08:09Alright, first the security bargain
08:12Xi Jinping wants a signal that Washington is stepping back from Taiwan
08:16And if Trump treats the island's security as a bargaining chip
08:20To secure China's help in ending the war in Iran
08:23He might hollow out Europe's own strategic commitments in the Indo-Pacific
08:27And 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
08:42Not maker
08:43And 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 might 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, let'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
09:17And 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
09:34Huh, and it's a cliché to say that the Chinese word for crisis
09:38Wei Qi is translated as a danger and opportunity
09:42And while Wei is indeed danger
09:46A better translation for Qi 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 to the European Union and NATO
10:09That is Mr Angus Campbell
10:10Good morning and welcome to Europe Today
10:12Hi Maeve, thanks very much
10:13Great, so as we're sitting here, President 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 time?
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
10:33And 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
10:43And 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 with 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 to 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 ten years
11:25Very careful, very sensitive, acknowledging concerns and interests on both sides
11:31And I'm confident that we're seeing a balanced deal here
11:36Which is comprehensive, which is going to be a benefit to both sides
11:40And it brings the two communities closer together
11:43Australians trading into Europe, Europeans trading into Australia
11:47Almost all barriers and tariffs removed
11:50It's a good deal
11:51That's a good deal
11:52But will that help you wean off this dependencies on China?
11:55We 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
12:08Into the ASEAN nations
12:10To South Asia, North Asia, into Europe
12:14We're an island continent dependent on global trade
12:18On the rules of trade
12:20And free trade agreements matter
12:22Because they enable the prosperity for all
12:27And defence plays a big role as well in this trade deal
12:29Tell 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 across the breadth of security and defence
12:51Often in areas of hybrid or advanced technology
12:55Or things that are geographically borderless
12:58And 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
13:08Because by doing so we 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? How are you enforcing it?
13:24So the social media ban is about a relationship with 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 of what we understand as social media
14:08And how it might affect our kids
14:09Indeed, it's certainly been closely watched
14:11Ambassador Campbell, thank you so much for coming in to us here on Europe Today
14:14Thanks May
14:15And now to Budapest, where Hungary's new government, led by Peter Maillard
14:19Has 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, Joltan Zboshegi
14:33Good morning, Joltan
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 in the last government
14:54But actually this promise was not fully kept
14:57Because, for example, the new transport minister
15:00Previously was the public transportation company's leader here in Budapest
15:05And also a far relative of Viktor Orbán
15:08While the difference minister served as chief of staff during the previous political era
15:13The finance minister had also worked as a state of secretary in Viktor Orbán's second government
15:20But now he promises to introduce the euro around 2013
15:24Most members of the new cabinet have been close allies for Peter Magyar
15:29Since two years from the really beginning of his movement
15:32And most of them, they are conservative
15:35One notable exception is Balint Roof, the minister leading the prime minister's office
15:41Who was a really big critic of the Orbán government
15:46And a really popular podcaster
15:49He promised the biggest investigation in Hungarian history against the corruption cases
15:55The 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
16:13Because he appointed his brother-in-law as a minister of justice
16:18But after seeing the public rage, he changed his mind
16:21So 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
16:52Joltan 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
17:34Very rare, this disease, the hantavirus causes overall
17:37Extremely rare, you know
17:39Unfortunately, of course, this outbreak on that cruise ship has happened
17:42Now we need a bit of caution
17:43Because it's got a high mortality is one worry
17:4540% people might die of this
17:48But it's extremely rare
17:49It'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
17:55Because the headlines are alarming
17:57Bringing us back to those days of Covid
17:59What 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
18:06And all the great and the good
18:08The CDC in the US, of course
18:10In 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
18:17People have died of this virus
18:19It's extremely rare
18:20Remember, in Argentina
18:22About 100 cases per year
18:23Out 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
18:31It might have been worse
18:33That's not the case
18:34It's the Andes strain
18:35I've had
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
18:46For the very first time to discuss this
18:48But of course, as you say
18:49It'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
18:57It is a real disease in South America
18:59So we may learn more about it anyway
19:00From this incident
19:01That might help the situation in South America
19:03Where it's more common
19:04And the second thing is
19:06Of course we need to be
19:06A little bit cautious
19:07You can understand why they're meeting
19:08Because it's all over the media
19:10European citizens are concerned
19:12Of course
19:12Anything 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
19:20In other words, you can catch it
19:22No symptoms for a week or two
19:23Hence the 42-day quarantine
19:25There's two Irish people
19:27Many nationalities
19:28Stuck in quarantine
19:29For the next few weeks
19:30Just in case the disease emerges
19:32And that makes perfect sense
19:33To 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
