00:30...to its core by a corruption investigation involving the former Prime Minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero.
00:36Incumbent Socialist Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, has ruled out early elections, though, and says he fully supports the former Premier,
00:43who's a close friend and mentor.
00:45We'll be live in Madrid.
00:47And the focus is also on Hungary.
00:49The country's new Prime Minister, Peter Mayer, is in Brussels today for one of the most important meetings of his
00:55political career.
00:56After talks with NATO, tomorrow he'll be sitting down with Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, to
01:03try to claw back billions in frozen EU funding.
01:07We'll be speaking exclusively to Brussels' Rule of Law Chief, Michael McGrath.
01:11Meanwhile, as NATO carries out military exercises on the Russia-Finland border, Poland's Donald Tusk is in London, building closer
01:18diplomatic ties with the UK.
01:20Prompted by the ongoing war in Ukraine, the two countries have signed a historic defence deal and a new master
01:26plan to counter a regular migration.
01:29But first, Israel has warned thousands of civilians to evacuate their homes in southern Lebanon, ahead of a fresh wave
01:36of airstrikes.
01:37It comes as the US carries out new strikes inside Iran, targeting a military facility.
01:43Meanwhile, this Thursday, the International Energy Agency is warning the world is facing the, quote, biggest energy security crisis in
01:51modern history,
01:52as the shutdown in the Strait of Hormuz continues to rattle the global energy market.
01:56Our Europe editor, Maria Tadeo, sat down with the agency's executive director, Fatih Bidol, in an exclusive interview from Paris,
02:04where they discussed the outlook for Europe and, of course, the risks ahead.
02:09I label this crisis as the largest energy crisis in the history.
02:15We had three energy crises up to now.
02:17In two oil crises in 1970s, 1973 and 1979.
02:24And in 2022, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in Europe, we had a natural gas crisis.
02:31If I add how much oil and gas we lost in this all three crisis,
02:38it is much less than what we lost in the Middle East crisis, Iran crisis now.
02:44It's a huge problem for the global energy system, global economy for Europe and beyond.
02:51And when you say this will trigger fundamental changes, especially you, and I want to reiterate this,
02:56you talk about energy but also energy security.
02:58What kind of changes are you envisioning?
02:59Because this shows us that the world is becoming more and more a dangerous place.
03:08And here the countries want to secure their energy supplies.
03:14And this would mean that the countries will review their energy strategies,
03:20which technologies, which fuels they are going to choose,
03:23and with which countries they are going to work,
03:26from which countries they import energy, for example,
03:29and they are going to review their energy strategies.
03:32And this would have major implications for the investment and beyond.
03:35And some would argue no continent has paid such a high price
03:38over its strategic dependencies than Europe.
03:40But before we get into that, I also want to ask you, for European viewers,
03:45in mid-April, you made some comments, which obviously made a lot of headlines,
03:49certainly in Europe, about jet fuel.
03:52You warned that in six weeks there could be no jet fuel.
03:54That created a lot of anxiety among finance ministers and also just Europeans
03:58who thought, this summer, am I going to be able to go on vacation?
04:01Am I going to be able to pay for fuel tickets?
04:05What is the situation now?
04:06Because from the outside, it seems that a very stressed-out scenario
04:09did not fully manifest.
04:11But is it the case?
04:12So the reason I said this is very simple.
04:16Europe imports about 75% of it is jet fuel from Middle East normally,
04:23and it is not finished.
04:26And when we look at our stocks, jet fuel stocks, they are diminishing.
04:32And I said, we said that if Europe cannot find new sources of imports,
04:39we are going to have major problems in terms of flying.
04:43Now, in the meantime, Europe was able to get some jet fuel from United States
04:49and from Nigeria to compensate this gap from Middle East.
04:54So, which means that we are now sort of okay when we are entering the traveling season,
05:02but we are going to pay much higher for flying here or there.
05:08And, of course, that takes us to the idea that this is not necessarily a supply crisis,
05:12but a price crisis.
05:13I do want to ask you...
05:13Exactly.
05:14But also, let's not forget that many companies, after I made this announcement,
05:18but many companies, the Lufthansa, the Scandinavian, the Ryanair, and all of them,
05:25KLM, they cut their flights.
05:27And they cut their flights.
05:28And just on this point, because I think this is very important,
05:32some, certainly in Brussels, believed that statements like that,
05:36they were contributing to fear-mongering.
05:38Is that something that you would go, no, this is my duty,
05:41and I had to say what I said, and I stand by those comments?
05:44Our motto is very clear.
05:47No fear, no favor.
05:48We look at the data.
05:50We say give a wake-up call to the countries.
05:52And if we didn't give this wake-up call,
05:54they wouldn't rush to get from Nigeria and the United States.
05:58And thanks to them, thanks to this, our wake-up call,
06:03they were able to get some jet fuel from U.S. and Nigeria,
06:07which barely now, this is the problem.
06:11So, in that sense, is the situation, the outlook now for Europe,
06:16looking relatively better compared to two months ago?
06:19Or is this still uncertainty?
06:20Because we're seeing the Commission just got their forecast for growth this year.
06:24Yes.
06:24I wouldn't say better, but less worse than before.
06:29And what does that mean this year?
06:31What are the scenarios that you paint?
06:32Until, of course, we don't know what will happen with the state of Hormuz,
06:36I very much hope that very soon we get a fully and unconditional opening of state of Hormuz.
06:42Because if it doesn't happen, the problem with the jet fuel and diesel and beyond
06:48will be with us for weeks to come.
06:53And that was Fatih Birul there, the head of the International Energy Agency.
06:58And you can catch the full interview tonight with Maria Tadeo on Euronews.
07:01But now to Finland, where NATO is conducting military exercises
07:05close to the Russian border this Thursday,
07:07amid ongoing concerns in Baltic states about increased drone incursions.
07:11Our NATO correspondent, Shona Murray, is on the ground
07:14and is joining us live this morning from Finland,
07:17just 30 kilometres from the border with Russia.
07:20Good morning, Shona.
07:21Just tell us about these drills,
07:23and are they actually responding to the drone threat?
07:28Yes, indeed. Good morning, Maeve.
07:30Well, certainly the exercises we've seen over the past couple of days,
07:33Northern Star, Sword 26.
07:35And we're in the middle of one of these exercises right now,
07:38which is why you'll see the tank behind me,
07:39and you could see some simulation of live fire.
07:42But essentially what they're doing is trying to modernise NATO
07:46in response to what we're seeing in Ukraine.
07:49And it's essentially called NATO's eastern flank deterrence innovation.
07:53It includes things like traditional capabilities,
07:56like the tank behind me, Chinook military helicopters, armed forces.
08:01But then, of course, very important, advanced drone technology,
08:05reconnaissance drones, anti-personnel drones,
08:08because very much taking into account what's been happening here
08:12at the Finnish border and other Baltic states borders of the past few weeks,
08:16but also the past couple of years since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine,
08:19you've seen a lot of threats coming from Russian aggression.
08:23So what we also will see is basically a renewed cyber technology,
08:28autonomous zones, and effectively the drone wall we've all been talking about.
08:32But listen, take a listen to Major Matt Bluebeck from the U.S. Army.
08:37He told me about this, what he calls a kill zone.
08:41A big part of that is not just our own drones,
08:44but us having sensors, a system of networked sensors,
08:48all integrated together through the same mission command systems.
08:52And us linking those together gives us that ability.
08:55And so it gives us the ability to have an autonomous kill web that we have.
09:00So whether you have, say, incursions in Estonia,
09:03but systems in Latvia or Lithuania that can see those,
09:07then someone else can use their technology to take those threats out.
09:14So Shona, the U.S. is participating in this exercise.
09:17So does that mean they're fully committed to the NATO alliance?
09:22Yeah, it's a very important question, Maeve,
09:24because the Americans have actually led the SWORD 26 part of the exercise,
09:28which is very important.
09:29And as I said, deals with NATO's eastern flank,
09:31and it's also about innovation.
09:33So it is about the future.
09:34Having said all that,
09:36we know that the United States is withdrawing its capabilities
09:39from the future of NATO,
09:41essentially meaning that the U.S. won't be supplying
09:44or won't make available capabilities to NATO in times of war
09:49or any sort of invasion.
09:50And that's very much a Trump administration decision,
09:52because as we know,
09:53the U.S. has been a leading member of NATO for several decades
09:57and does very much take part enthusiastically in these exercises.
10:01But there is no doubt that it's not a philosophical conversation anymore.
10:05The U.S. is pulling out of NATO
10:07and basically the rest of NATO has to pull up its socks
10:10and basically try to fill that gap of those capabilities in the future.
10:15Maeve?
10:15OK, Shona Murray, thank you so much for that live broadcast there
10:18from the Finnish-Russian border.
10:20And now these exercises and the recent expansion of NATO
10:23are all down to the fact that Russia invaded Ukraine illegally back in 22
10:27and shows no signs of backing down.
10:29For more on the high stakes of these security threats,
10:32our Ukraine correspondent, Sasha Vakilina,
10:35spoke to the former prime minister of the country, Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
10:39Europeans have to realize that this war relates not only to Ukraine,
10:45they are going after every single European citizen,
10:48every single European country.
10:51So, and Ukraine actually today is on the front line of defending both Ukraine,
10:57because we are defending ourselves and defending the European Union.
11:01The real understanding comes only in case if you feel it,
11:04if you see it,
11:06if you can listen to an air raid siren.
11:10We are living in a completely new world.
11:13And on the one hand,
11:15I wish every single European citizen to be in safety.
11:19On the other hand,
11:21I wish all of us to realize that you folks can be safe only in one case,
11:26if we as Ukrainians win this war, period.
11:29You met Putin.
11:30Correct.
11:31What's your take as somebody who actually met Russia's president?
11:35Should there be the negotiating table,
11:37let's say,
11:37with the EU represented either by Kayakalas or Antonio Kostya?
11:41That's another name that's been circulating in Brussels.
11:44Let me go back to square one.
11:47First,
11:48please do not underestimate this war criminal.
11:51He's not an idiot.
11:52He's a KGB operative.
11:55He has changed definitely dramatically in the last decade,
11:59no doubt.
12:00But he still has
12:04quite effective top military and security brass.
12:12So he's less strategic.
12:15He's more tactical.
12:18And he always has the sense of whether you are weak or you are strong.
12:24So he makes a sniff test of each person he meets.
12:30But whether we have an ability
12:32and whether do we have a chance to outplay him,
12:36yes, we do.
12:37No doubt.
12:41And now we move on to Spain
12:43where anti-corruption police
12:45have raided the headquarters
12:46of the ruling Socialist Party in Madrid.
12:48The heat is on current Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez
12:51who's facing public criticism
12:53from a string of corruption scandals
12:54involving his close contacts.
12:56For more,
12:57we can cross now live to Madrid
12:58where Euronews correspondent Rafael Salido
13:00is standing by for us
13:01outside the seat of the Socialist Party.
13:04Good morning.
13:05Just tell us about the raids
13:06that took place there yesterday.
13:36Hi, good morning, Maeve.
13:37We have a few minutes to a party operative called Lady Diaz.
13:40From the party,
13:41they insist that this was just a request of documents,
13:45not so much as a formal warrant.
13:47However,
13:48at the same time that the policemen were in the headquarters,
13:52the authorities were executing several search warrants
13:55in private homes of people supposedly involved in this investigation.
14:00The purpose of this investigation,
14:02which is still under a gag order,
14:04is to find out whether Diaz was acting on her behalf
14:08or she was receiving instructions from the party
14:13or even the government.
14:15So what is next?
14:17And how is the Prime Minister,
14:18Pedro Sánchez, responding to all this?
14:22Well, actually,
14:23Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez was yesterday
14:25meeting with the Pope Leo XIV in the Vatican
14:29when he found out about the raid in the headquarters.
14:33He, after the meeting,
14:35he spoke to the press
14:36where he insisted,
14:37first of all,
14:38that this was not a raid,
14:39but just a search warrant,
14:42a search for information.
14:44And even though he did strike a cautious tone,
14:48he did recognize the seriousness of the situation
14:51involving his party.
14:53However,
14:54he insisted that the PSOE has nothing to hide.
14:58He also insisted that he's not planning on calling elections
15:02or resigning at all.
15:03And he reiterated his support
15:06for former Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero,
15:10who is actually under a different investigation
15:13for influence peddling.
15:15But the Prime Minister said
15:18that so far he has seen no reason
15:20to change his support
15:21and he defended his presumption of innocence.
15:25However,
15:26Prime Minister Sánchez
15:27pledged to fully cooperate with the investigation.
15:31Let's listen.
15:32Apparently,
15:36we're talking about an administrative requirement,
15:38not a police search warrant.
15:43I don't want to downplay the seriousness
15:45of the investigation
15:46that the National Court is currently conducting,
15:48and I can tell the Spanish public
15:50that we're fully cooperating
15:52with the justice system.
15:55Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez there
15:57on a story being, of course,
15:58very closely watched here in Brussels.
16:00And now for the view
16:01from the European Commission headquarters,
16:03the Burlimont.
16:03Coming up,
16:04we'll be joined by Michael McGrath.
16:06That's Ireland's European Commissioner
16:07in charge of rule of law,
16:09democracy,
16:10justice and consumer protection.
16:12An Irish Fianna Fáil politician,
16:14Michael McGrath,
16:14was a senior government minister
16:16in the past,
16:17including the country's finance minister
16:19until 2024.
16:20So we're pleased to have you with us
16:21today in the studio.
16:22You're welcome.
16:23Thank you, Maeve.
16:24Good to be here.
16:24So as I said,
16:25we're following here in Brussels
16:26that story in Spain
16:27very carefully.
16:29Spanish people are shocked.
16:30As the Commissioner for Democracy
16:32and Rule of Law,
16:32what is your reaction
16:33to this kind of scandal?
16:34Well, clearly we don't comment
16:36on individual cases,
16:37but the policy of the European Commission
16:39towards corruption
16:41is very clear.
16:42We have to have
16:43a zero tolerance policy
16:45across the European Union.
16:46What is most important
16:48is that the national authorities
16:50in any given case
16:52are allowed to do their work
16:54without any interference,
16:56that they follow the evidence
16:57and they take the case
16:58to its appropriate end point.
17:00We have recently reached agreement
17:02on a new anti-corruption directive
17:05in the European Union.
17:07So that will be transposed
17:08in the next couple of years,
17:10which harmonizes
17:11the definition of corruption offenses
17:13and also harmonizes penalties.
17:16The reality is
17:17that corruption is insidious.
17:19It takes from valuable public resources
17:22and it fundamentally undermines
17:24public trust in institutions
17:26and in democracy itself.
17:28So it's crucial
17:29that all member states
17:30tackle it
17:31and we deal with it
17:32in the Rule of Law report.
17:33Especially this issue,
17:34one of the investigations
17:34is actually about
17:35alleged attempts
17:36from the Socialist Party
17:37to sabotage
17:38or obstruct
17:39judicial investigations.
17:41So it's a very serious matter
17:42you're dealing with here
17:42that could impact indeed
17:44people's public trust
17:45in institutions.
17:46Yeah, as I say,
17:47the case itself,
17:48I don't have the details
17:49nor should I
17:50and it will take its normal course.
17:52But every year
17:53we do an annual
17:54Rule of Law report
17:55which will be published
17:56now in July of this year.
17:58It looks at every single
17:59country of the European Union
18:01across a number of headings
18:02including under the heading
18:04of corruption
18:05and examines the country's
18:07track record
18:08of investigating,
18:10prosecuting
18:11and securing convictions
18:12in respect of corruption cases,
18:14particularly high level
18:15corruption cases
18:16because of course
18:17the more senior the level
18:18then the more serious
18:20the damage is done
18:21to public trust
18:22and indeed
18:23to the institutions themselves.
18:24And let's talk about Hungary.
18:26The Viktor Orban era is over.
18:28Peter Maillard is in Brussels
18:29for talks.
18:31Will he get
18:31those billions of funds back
18:33do you think?
18:34So the Prime Minister
18:35will be meeting with
18:36Ursula von der Leyen,
18:37the Commission President
18:38tomorrow.
18:39We have made a good start
18:41in resetting the relations
18:43with the Hungarian government.
18:45We are there
18:46as a commission
18:47to work with them
18:48and support them
18:49on the path
18:50to restoring rule of law
18:52and commitment
18:53to respecting
18:55fundamental rights
18:55of all citizens
18:56in Hungary.
18:58Sounds like they're not ready then.
18:59Are they ready then?
19:00Sounds like from what you're saying
19:01they're not ready.
19:02Discussions are ongoing.
19:03I will be visiting Budapest
19:04next week
19:05and I'll be meeting
19:06with the new
19:07Hungarian Justice Minister
19:08again to agree
19:10on the reforms
19:11and look at the progress
19:13that they intend
19:14to make over the months ahead.
19:15And why was there confusion?
19:16We are there to work with them
19:17and support them.
19:17Why was there so much confusion
19:18and mystery about the meeting
19:20between Ursula von der Leyen
19:21and Peter Maillard?
19:22I'm not sure there was
19:23mystery or confusion
19:24but these things often
19:25are only nailed down
19:27quite late on.
19:28That's the reality.
19:29Will they have dinner?
19:30Given schedules
19:30and timetables.
19:31I don't know the detail
19:33of their engagement
19:33but the important thing
19:34is that they will meet
19:35and they will continue
19:36the substantive discussions
19:38on the issue at hand
19:40and that is about
19:41how the European Commission
19:42can support
19:43the new Hungarian government
19:44in their efforts
19:46to restore rule of law
19:47in Hungary
19:48and ensure that
19:49the necessary reforms
19:50can be implemented.
19:52So we will support them
19:53and so far
19:54they have demonstrated
19:55a very clear
19:56and steadfast commitment
19:57on this path
19:58which will help
19:59to serve
20:00the best interests
20:01of the Hungarian citizens
20:02at the end of the day.
20:03And just back on your file
20:04when it comes to tech etc
20:05you'll be coming out soon
20:06with a proposal
20:07to wean off
20:08our dependency
20:09on big US tech
20:10promote our own
20:11homegrown cloud
20:12technology etc.
20:13Can you confirm this plan?
20:15So this will be led
20:16by my colleague
20:17the Executive Vice President
20:18Hennifer Cunnan.
20:19It is a tech sovereignty package
20:21and it is consistent
20:23with the overall
20:23policy direction
20:24that the European Union
20:26is currently taking.
20:28It needs to be seen
20:29alongside
