00:30Two days of informal talks
00:31From Israel's attack last night on Lebanon
00:34To Russia's ongoing attacks on Ukraine
00:36Their meeting comes after a high-stakes phone call
00:39Between Russia's Sergei Lavrov
00:40And his American counterpart Marco Rubio
00:43Ministers will discuss whether formal communication channels with Moscow
00:47Should reopen
00:48And of course, who should lead them
00:50Meanwhile, Giorgio Maloney is urging Brussels
00:52To treat Europe's energy crisis as an emergency
00:56In a stern letter to the European Commission
00:58The Italian Prime Minister
01:00Facing growing pressure ahead of elections next year
01:02Called for urgent measures
01:04Local elections in June
01:06Will be seen as a key political test for her government
01:09This as Sweden announces plans
01:11To half the price of monthly public transport passes
01:14In the second half of the year
01:16To give some relief to households
01:17The country will be holding elections in September
01:20Plus the World Health Organisation
01:22Has raised alarm over the speed of the Ebola virus in Central Africa
01:27Where over 220 people have died
01:29The EU and UNICEF have sent humanitarian supplies to the DRC
01:35To support efforts to contain the outbreak
01:37But first, NATO is carrying out a military exercise this morning
01:41Just 30km from the border with Russia
01:44It comes as the Baltics and other nations are on very high alert
01:48Amid the ramped up threat of drone incursions within this territory
01:51European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen
01:54Has been on the ground over the last couple of days
01:56To offer support from the European Union
01:58Now our correspondent Angela Skugins is here in the studio
02:01To explain how Europe and NATO aim to work together
02:03Good morning Angela, thanks for being with us
02:05Just tell us more about this
02:07Yes, so it should start at the beginning of the story in Finland
02:11Roughly 30km from the border of Russia
02:14The Northern Star military exercises are kicking off today
02:17This comprises 9,000 troops from across at least 10 NATO-allied countries
02:23We're talking about the Hungary and UK
02:25They're at a military training base called Vusanka
02:28Now the aim of this is to make sure that they're fighting fit
02:31Regarding these drone incidents
02:33We've seen them ratchet up in recent days
02:36Particularly over those Baltic nations
02:38At least six since the beginning of May
02:41The big question here is whether NATO is modernised enough
02:45To counter these incidents
02:46As well as whether they're inoperable enough
02:49That's the big question underpinning a lot of the NATO military exercises
02:52Is whether they can work together at times of war
02:55As well as invasion
02:56It's also important to point out that the United States
02:59Has a significant presence here
03:01There are at least two helicopters
03:03As well as military personnel
03:04Of course we all know that the United States have indicated
03:08That they will withdraw their presence
03:10At least from NATO
03:11But at least today they're on the ground
03:13But I do recommend watching Europe Today tomorrow
03:16As we will have a special dispatch
03:17From our NATO correspondent Shona Murray
03:20Indeed she's on the ground there on the border
03:21And we'll bring her in tomorrow on the show
03:23But just tell us more as well about the visit of Ursula von der Leyen
03:26To the region
03:26Has it made any difference?
03:27Yes so European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen
03:30Was in Vilnius yesterday
03:31Alongside European Commissioner for Defence
03:34Andrus Kobilius
03:35Now she gave a press conference
03:37Alongside the heads of state
03:38From Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia
03:40Regarding these drone incursions
03:43Now she highlighted
03:45That these incidents have demonstrated
03:47That there are vulnerabilities
03:48When it comes to Baltic defences
03:50And she wants to make sure
03:51That they can close the gap
03:52She's highlighted that she could work
03:55With NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte
03:57If permitting to figure out
03:58What these holes are
04:00But let's take a listen
04:01To what she had to say yesterday
04:02Regarding these incursions
04:03People in the Baltic countries
04:06Have been experiencing
04:08What many believed
04:10Belonged to another area
04:11Air raid alerts
04:13Families sheltering
04:14Schools closing
04:17Transport interrupted
04:19This is the reality
04:21On Europe's eastern border
04:23In 2026
04:24This is a deliberate strategy
04:27From Russia
04:28Trying to destabilise
04:30Our democratic societies
04:31Commission President Ursula von der Leyen
04:34And of course before that
04:34Our Angela Skudens
04:35Thank you so much for that update
04:37But now the Strasbourg-based
04:39Council of Europe
04:39Human Rights Body
04:41Has approved a special tribunal
04:42To prosecute Russia's leadership
04:44Over its war of aggression
04:45Against Ukraine
04:46To hear what's behind this idea
04:48I spoke to the Secretary-General
04:50Of the Council of Europe
04:51Alain Berset
04:51And started by asking him
04:53If he would have any teeth
04:54You know it depends
04:56Of the political will
04:57Of member states
04:58We have now more than
05:0036 countries
05:01Ready to join
05:02The special tribunal
05:04We have
05:04We need to have a location
05:06A precise budget
05:07And then the strong engagement
05:08Of the member states
05:10And then it can go
05:11It can go fast
05:12Political will
05:13Is always the question
05:14We know that
05:14Under President Donald Trump
05:16The United States
05:16Has not signed up
05:18To this initiative
05:19Could that undermine
05:20The credibility of it
05:22I don't think so
05:23You know I mean
05:24We are really developing
05:26A huge framework
05:27For accountability
05:27We have the European Court
05:29Of Human Rights
05:30Working on cases
05:31We have the
05:32Register of Damage
05:33And the Claims Commission
05:34And now the third pillar
05:35The special tribunal
05:36And the whole context
05:37Will be key
05:38For Ukraine
05:39For stability
05:40In the context
05:42Of the war
05:43After the war
05:43But who's going to pay
05:44Who will fund
05:45This tribunal
05:47The member states
05:49As I said before
05:50I mean
05:50The member states
05:52Must have the political will
05:53To develop the tribunal
05:54And also to fund the tribunal
05:56We need now
05:57To have a precise budget
05:58For this tribunal
05:59We have also
06:00Some experiences
06:01With
06:02Well
06:02Precedent cases
06:04And also
06:05A location
06:05And we are working
06:06Quite hard on this
06:07I mean
06:07With this
06:08What's happening right now
06:09We will be able
06:10Also to deliver on this
06:11Very soon
06:11And what happens
06:12If there is a peace deal
06:13Could it establish
06:14Then a blank amnesty
06:15And therefore
06:16Render the tribunal
06:17Pointless
06:17Accountability and justice
06:19Will be probably
06:20Absolutely key
06:21In all peace discussions
06:22And what will happen
06:23Will be
06:24Will be in the discussions
06:25But the best
06:26Thing we can do
06:28To support Ukraine
06:29To support the rule of law
06:30To support justice
06:31Is to be ready
06:32With the framework
06:33On accountability
06:33And it's exactly the reason
06:34Why we are supported
06:36So strongly by member states
06:37For doing this
06:40Now moving on
06:41Spain's socialist party
06:43Is in shock
06:44Due to an ongoing probe
06:45Into the former prime minister
06:46José Luis de Rodríguez Zapatero
06:48Seen as a political mentor
06:50To the current party leader
06:51And premier
06:52That's Pedro Sánchez
06:53The scandal comes
06:54At a pretty rough time
06:55For the party
06:56For more
06:56We can go straight to Madrid
06:57Where your news correspondent
06:58Rafael Salido
07:00Is standing by for us
07:00This morning
07:01Good morning
07:02And just tell us firstly
07:03More about this investigation
07:08So good morning
07:09Maeve
07:09As you were mentioning
07:10Here in Spain
07:11A former prime minister
07:13José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero
07:15He's been indicted
07:16He's facing charges
07:17Related to influence
07:19Peddling
07:20And other related crimes
07:21In a case
07:22That date back
07:23To the pandemic
07:23When he was involved
07:25In the bailout
07:26Of a company
07:27Of an airline
07:28Called Plus Ultra
07:29This is a Venezuelan company
07:31Or linked to
07:32The Venezuelan government
07:34And former prime minister
07:36Zapatero
07:37Has really close ties
07:39To that government
07:40So a few years back
07:42He was involved
07:43In asking the government
07:45To send
07:45To give some money
07:46To this company
07:47Who was in crisis
07:48And it's a huge blow
07:50For the left
07:51Here in general
07:52Because in the past few years
07:53Zapatero had become
07:55Some kind of a moral compass
07:56For the left
07:57Especially because
07:59Because when he left office
08:00Instead of joining
08:00Some company's board
08:02Or something
08:02He decided to spend
08:04His time
08:04Trying to sort
08:06Some international crisis
08:08Such as this one
08:09In Venezuela
08:09So it has come
08:11As a huge surprise
08:12Now that we are learning
08:14That he may have
08:15Benefited himself
08:16Personally
08:17And he may have been
08:18Receiving Spanish
08:21Taxpayers money
08:21And it's a huge blow
08:24He's expected
08:24To testify in front
08:26Of the judge
08:26On June the 17th
08:28And June the 18th
08:30So far he has denied
08:31All the charges
08:32And he has emphasized
08:34That he's innocent
08:35But we are waiting
08:36To see what's going on
08:38Here
08:38In what it's
08:40A huge shock
08:41Here in Spain
08:42And as you're waiting
08:44What impact do you think
08:45This could have
08:46On Pedro Sánchez
08:47The current prime minister
08:51Well it's a huge blow
08:52Especially because
08:53The socialist government
08:55Here in Spain
08:56Is going through
08:58Its own internal crisis
09:00Let's remember
09:01That just in the past year
09:02They've lost
09:03Four local elections
09:05They have been unable
09:06To pass any federal budget
09:08In the past two years
09:09And they don't have
09:10A majority in the parliament
09:11So they depend
09:13On the support
09:13Of smaller parties
09:15So some people
09:16Are concerned
09:16That this may be
09:17The last straw
09:18For these parties
09:19And it may force
09:21Some kind of
09:22Change in the government
09:23Just past weekend
09:25Here in Madrid
09:25We have a huge
09:27Demonstration
09:28Here in Madrid
09:29Asking for elections
09:30Calling for elections
09:31So far
09:32Sánchez himself
09:34Has discarded that option
09:35However we are waiting
09:37To hear from him
09:38He expects to talk today
09:40After he meets
09:41With the Pope
09:41And we are waiting
09:42To hear what he has to say
09:44But again
09:45Nobody is expecting
09:46That he may
09:47Stop supporting
09:49His predecessor
09:50Who has been
09:51Really instrumental
09:53In his government
09:54For the past few months
09:55Okay Rafael Salido
09:57Thank you so much
09:58For that live broadcast
09:58There from Madrid
09:59On a story that of course
10:00We are following very closely
10:02As well here
10:02On Euronews
10:03And now from Spain
10:04We can move to a story
10:06Unfolding in Greece
10:07The former Prime Minister
10:08Alexis Tsipras
10:09One of the main protagonists
10:11Of the Greek debt crisis
10:12Has officially launched
10:13A new political party
10:14Greek Left Alliance
10:16For more on this
10:17New left wave
10:18In Greece
10:19We can go straight to Athens
10:20And bring in
10:21Euronews'
10:22Faye Duclery
10:22Good morning
10:23Tell us Faye
10:24About this party
10:25And how are people
10:25Feeling now
10:26About Alexis Tsipras
10:28Good morning Maeve
10:29No one can deny
10:30Here in Greece
10:31That Alexis Tsipras
10:32Even those who didn't
10:34Support him
10:34Is a charismatic politician
10:36He was widely seen
10:37As the Pope of this country
10:39In the last difficult
10:39Decade of Greece
10:40He gained a lot
10:42Of support then
10:43His rise was very fast
10:45And very impressive
10:45But his fall
10:47Was as fast
10:48As as impressive
10:49And since he left
10:51Politics
10:52Main political scene
10:54The opposition in Greece
10:56Has been left
10:57Highly fragmented
10:58And that's how
10:59Kyakos Mitsotakis
11:01That has been governing
11:02For seven years now
11:04Has survived
11:04Political scandals
11:06And is still
11:07Leading the polls
11:08So the bet now
11:09For Alexis Tsipras
11:10Is if he will manage
11:12To unite
11:13This fragmented
11:15Opposition
11:16And gained
11:17The support
11:18He once had
11:20But this task
11:21Is very difficult
11:22Because he has
11:22A very limited
11:24Time until the elections
11:26And what impact
11:27Can he actually have
11:28On Greece's
11:29Political scenery
11:29And why
11:30Faye did he choose
11:31Now to announce
11:32This new political party
11:33He can have
11:34A very significant
11:35Political impact
11:37Here in Greece
11:39Because there's
11:40No opposition
11:41That can challenge
11:42Kyakos Mitsotakis
11:44Effectively right now
11:48An opposition
11:49That can really
11:49Challenge him
11:50And can control
11:51His policies
11:52And his missteps
11:54He chose now
11:55To present his new party
11:56Because he wanted
11:57Apparently to distance
11:58Himself
11:58From the last
11:59Governance of Syriza
12:00That disappointed
12:01The voters
12:03And in the end
12:04Was outvoted
12:05He also found
12:07A lot of political
12:07Room
12:08Right now
12:09Because the opposition
12:10After seven years
12:11Is not managing
12:13To gain support
12:15From the voters
12:16And he wanted
12:18To have enough time
12:19To prepare his party
12:20For elections
12:20That are going
12:21To be held
12:23In a year
12:24Or maybe even
12:25In the fall
12:26According to
12:26Same scenarios
12:27But Maeve
12:28I need to tell you
12:28That criticism
12:29Has already started
12:31Around
12:32This new party
12:34And especially
12:35The name of the new party
12:36Because its acronym
12:38Elas
12:38Is the same acronym
12:39As the acronym
12:40Of the Greek police
12:41I see
12:42Okay, Faye Duglary
12:43Thank you so much
12:44For that update there
12:45Live from Athens
12:47Now, moving on
12:48EU ministers
12:49For European affairs
12:50Have wrapped up
12:51Talks here in Brussels
12:52On their agenda
12:54Was EU enlargement
12:55EU-UK relations
12:56And of course
12:56The ongoing war
12:57In Ukraine
12:58For all the insights
12:59Our Mary Gwynne
13:00Spoke to France's
13:01Minister for EU affairs
13:02Benjamin Haddad
13:03What we've seen
13:05Over the last few days
13:05Is one more
13:06Criminal escalation
13:08From Russia
13:08Against Ukraine civilians
13:10But the truth is
13:11It's also a sign
13:12Of the utter failure
13:14Of Russia's war
13:15Of aggression
13:15Against Ukraine
13:16Russia's losing ground
13:17On the battlefield
13:18And we see
13:19Ukraine's
13:20Incredible innovation
13:21When it comes to drone
13:23For example
13:23On the battlefield
13:24It's losing ground
13:25Diplomatically
13:26And it was hoping
13:28For a long time
13:28To divide Europeans
13:29That we would
13:30Weaken our resolve
13:31We've seen exactly
13:32The opposite
13:32We just recently
13:33Finalized the
13:3490 billion euro
13:35Package to Ukraine
13:37Remember that
13:37Just about a year ago
13:39When we had
13:40President Zelensky's
13:41Meeting in the Oval Office
13:42With Trump and Vance
13:44A lot of people
13:44Said that Ukraine
13:45Would be forced
13:46Into a capitulation
13:47In 24 hours
13:47And Europeans
13:48Would not be
13:49Around the table
13:49What we've seen
13:50Is Europeans
13:51Step up
13:52And now provide
13:52The bulk of the support
13:53To Ukraine
13:55And we see
13:56Russia losing ground
13:58Everywhere diplomatically
13:59You know
13:59I was just in Armenia
14:00Recently
14:01For the European
14:02Political community
14:03Where we also had
14:03The EU Armenia
14:05State visit
14:05One more country
14:07Like Moldova
14:08Like Sweden and Finland
14:09That joined NATO
14:10That wants to get rid
14:12Of Russia's tutelage
14:14And get closer
14:14To Europeans
14:16Norms and standards
14:16This is the reality
14:18Of Russia's war
14:19Of aggression
14:19Against Ukraine
14:20If that is the case
14:21As you say
14:22And Russia is
14:23Being weakened
14:24By Ukraine's resistance
14:26Isn't that then
14:27An opportune moment
14:29For Europe to step in
14:30And to say
14:31It's time to talk
14:32I know President
14:33Emmanuel Macron
14:33Has previously called for this
14:35No you're right
14:35President Macron
14:36Has always said
14:36That when the time is right
14:38We should have
14:39Our own channel
14:40Of communication
14:41With Russia
14:41Because there's no reason
14:42To let the Americans
14:43Alone at the negotiation table
14:46When first and foremost
14:47It's the security
14:48Of Europe that's at stake
14:49Now you have to look
14:50At the reality
14:51Which is that
14:52Russia is not engaging
14:53Seriously in diplomacy
14:54It's not interested
14:55In the ceasefire
14:56In peace
14:56It continues its escalation
14:58So I think the key now
14:59Is to continue
15:00To provide our support
15:01To Ukraine
15:01Is to continue
15:02To increase the pressure
15:03On Russia economically
15:04We just recently
15:06Passed the 20th package
15:07Of sanctions
15:07We need to continue
15:08So just for clarity
15:09I understand you're saying
15:10Now is not the right time
15:13And if so
15:14Doesn't it make sense
15:16For Europe
15:17Nonetheless
15:17To be preparing
15:18For that time
15:19Including thinking
15:20Of who could do this role
15:21Who has the credibility
15:22The clout
15:23To speak to the Russians
15:24No look
15:25I see that this debate
15:26Is going on in the media
15:27And the commentary
15:28And you're right
15:30That once again
15:31You know Europeans
15:31Need to take matters
15:32In their own hand
15:33And so there's no reason
15:34Why we should let others
15:35Negotiate on the behalf
15:37Of Europeans
15:38Of the European security
15:39Architecture
15:40So Europeans
15:41Should be ready
15:42Also to have
15:43Their own diplomatic track
15:45As President Macron
15:46Has said repeatedly
15:47But I would say
15:48Our priority now
15:49Clearly
15:49Is to continue
15:50To support Ukraine
15:51To continue to increase
15:52The pressure on Russia
15:56Now moving on
15:57If you couldn't sleep
15:58Last night
15:58Due to the hot weather
15:59You're not the only one
16:00A heat dome
16:01Is pushing
16:02Unusually high temperatures
16:03Across Europe
16:04With new May records
16:05In the UK
16:06And France
16:07For more on the science
16:08Behind this
16:09And whether it's here to stay
16:10We're joined now
16:11By Carlos Buentempo
16:12That's the director
16:12Of the Copernicus
16:13Climate Change Service
16:15Good morning Carlos
16:16Thank you so much
16:16For joining us
16:17Just tell us about
16:18These abnormal temperatures
16:19Why we're seeing them now
16:20In May
16:22Well in a sense
16:23What we're seeing now
16:24Is just one specific instance
16:26Of a broader pattern
16:27If you look at the reports
16:29The Copernicus Climate Change Service
16:31Published last year
16:32About 2025
16:33You see that
16:34This heat wave
16:35Has become much more common
16:36And affect all European territory
16:39Not just the south
16:41Or the west
16:42Actually the east and the north
16:43Last year were on the spotlight
16:45So in this case
16:47It's this high pressure reach
16:48That is extending over Europe
16:49And it's still ongoing
16:50Very much
16:51So we will do the analysis
16:53Once the event finishes
16:54And Carlos
16:55Is this due to climate change
16:56Do you think
16:58Well climate change
16:59Certainly plays a big role
17:00We have seen the warmest year
17:02On record last year
17:03In Europe
17:03The last 11 years
17:05At the global level
17:06Have been the 11 warmest
17:08So this is pushing
17:09Temperature up
17:10Throughout
17:11Not just in Europe
17:12Everywhere else
17:13But Europe is warming faster
17:15And in that sense
17:16I think climate change
17:18Is likely to play
17:19An important role
17:20In what we are seeing now
17:21Making this event
17:22More likely
17:23The intensity
17:24Going up
17:25And lasting
17:26Generally longer
17:26And Carlo
17:27I guess the question is
17:28Are European cities
17:29Prepared for more frequent
17:30Heat waves like this?
17:32Well I think
17:33It's a work in progress
17:34In many respects
17:35So if you look at the report
17:37Last year
17:38That actually
17:39Thanks to our interaction
17:40With the World
17:41Meteorological Organization
17:42There was a lot of work
17:43Done with national med services
17:44And that piece of work
17:46Highlights
17:46That the number of cities
17:48In Europe
17:48That now have
17:49A climate adaptation plan
17:50Has doubled
17:51And now is above 50%
17:53So there is work being done
17:55Taking this information
17:57That is now available
17:58To inform our policy
17:59And prepare for it
18:00But there is still work
18:01To be done
18:01Because many cities
18:03And many regions
18:04Don't yet have
18:05A proper adaptation plan
18:06And of course
18:07It's only May
18:08But it feels like
18:09A very hot sticky August
18:10Is this likely
18:11Do you think
18:11To become Europe's
18:12Hottest summer
18:13On record?
18:15Well
18:15Way too early to say
18:16But clearly
18:17With the
18:18El Nino
18:19Looming in the Pacific
18:21And the temperature
18:21Likely to go up
18:22Globally
18:23It is possible
18:24That we'll see
18:24Warmest month
18:25In front of us
18:26Certainly will happen
18:27At the global level
18:28Whether this will happen
18:29In Europe
18:30Well we'll need to see
18:31Ex post
18:32But certainly
18:32It's a concrete possibility
18:34Okay
18:35Carlo
