00:15Buongiorno, è Monday 1 Juni, io sono Mave McMahin e questo è Europe Today.
00:21La mia giornata di europee news e analisi live here on Euronews.
00:25Come up, EU enlargement is in the spotlight.
00:29Council Presidente Antonio Costa heads to the Western Balkans today for a five-day visit,
00:34culminating in a special summit in Montenegro this Friday.
00:38The small Balkan nation says it is ready to become the next country to join the European Union,
00:43but EU members need to make up their mind.
00:45Meanwhile, Malta's Labour Party has secured an unprecedented fourth consecutive term in office,
00:52delivering a major victory for Prime Minister Robert Abella.
00:55The snap vote this weekend was called a year ahead of schedule,
00:58amid concerns over the impact of the Middle East crisis on tourism and rising inflation.
01:04Plus, China has warned Brussels against imposing new trade restrictions,
01:08following talks here aimed at addressing Beijing's industrial overcapacity.
01:13The EU says its trade relationship with China is no longer sustainable,
01:16and that stronger measures are needed to protect European industries from a surge in Chinese imports.
01:22But first, Paris Saint-Germain's historic Champions League victory was marred by violence this weekend.
01:28As celebrations spread across France, so did clashes between football fans and police,
01:33leading to nearly 800 arrests, more than 200 injured, and one dead linked to the instance.
01:39The French president, Emmanuel Macron, is furious.
01:44Unfortunately, we've seen, and I don't want us to get used to it,
01:47and nobody wants us to get used to it,
01:49scenes of unacceptable violence in Paris and other cities.
01:53This isn't about football.
01:55This isn't about sport.
01:56It's because we like it.
01:57So, thank you to our police officers.
01:59There will be no flexibility for those who have been caught.
02:03We don't want to see this anymore.
02:04Enough.
02:05We have it.
02:05It's over.
02:06Terminés.
02:07For more on what exactly happened and why these scenes have become a reoccurring challenge for authorities,
02:13we're joined here in the studio by Euronews' Gerry Fisayo-Bambi,
02:16who's been following the story for us all weekend.
02:18Good morning, and thanks for being here.
02:20And look, it's just not the first time we've seen this kind of violence.
02:23What are the root causes?
02:25Dave, first off, what a big Champions League final weekend we saw.
02:29Axel to both sides, Arsenal and PSG.
02:31They gave us a very good match.
02:35Maybe not a very good match, considering the nature of how things played out.
02:40But 1-200 minutes of football, and congratulations to Arsenal for putting up a formidable performance.
02:46Congrats to PSG for becoming the only side to win the Champions League title, to retain the title,
02:53for the second time back-to-back.
02:56Unfortunately, that's not what we're talking about now.
02:59The news has been overshadowed by the ugly and chaotic scenes that we saw in Paris.
03:06Arrests have been made.
03:06800 arrests have been made.
03:08But interestingly, they're not hardcore football fans.
03:11So these were simply fans or rioters or people who were just exploiting this situation or the occasion to form
03:20in trouble.
03:20And it is not the first time we're seeing it in France.
03:23And you need to look at it within the wider context of oligarchism in France and urban riots in France.
03:32We've seen the Jules Jeunes protests, the Yellow Vest protests, the pension reform protests.
03:38So over the last decades, we've seen a lot of protests in France.
03:42And it just seems that the violence that we're witnessing is such that, you know, it's occurring within this society
03:50in a way that reflects wider disparity or wider issues regarding policing, trust in public institutions and inequality.
04:00And how could it be put to an end?
04:02We saw earlier how the French President Emmanuel Macron was so upset to see how this dampened the celebrations all
04:07through the weekend.
04:07Well, I think the French authorities have been doing their best.
04:11Let's bring in facts here.
04:14Look, with regards to law enforcement, over the weekend and in anticipation of the final itself, authorities deployed some 20
04:22,000 police officers across the country.
04:24In Paris, the capital alone, there were 8,000 police officers.
04:28And this was because if you look at even last year when this violence celebration happened last year when PSG
04:38won their first ever Champions League title at the time, the anticipation had been there.
04:43But even at that, this did not curtail the violence that took place.
04:47So when we talk about the federations, UEFA itself has been working with the countries, with the supporters, the local
04:58authorities, and they have, since 2012 and 2013, they've required clubs to have a liaison officer to coordinate, you know,
05:07some of these things.
05:08The coordination between the fans, the supporters, and the local authorities, and police, I think has worked in some places.
05:15But the question for France is really about, is this about football hooliganism, or is this about urban riots and
05:23something that reflects a much deeper problem?
05:26And I think going forward, you need to look at, can we have faster prosecutions?
05:31Can they have, can authorities also deploy new measures, or maybe stricter penalties, you know, stricter punishments that will make
05:40a deterrent for many who would want to go into this and think twice?
05:44Indeed, it's certainly not a problem that will go away overnight, Gerry. Thank you so much for your analysis there.
05:49And also actually in France, the former French Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, has kicked off his presidential election campaign with
05:55a huge rally in Paris.
05:57He's vowing to move beyond the Macron era and reform a system that he says is no longer delivering for
06:03the French people.
06:04For more on that story, you can visit Euronews.com.
06:07But now, moving on, after a successful visit to Brussels, the Hungarian Prime Minister, Petr Maillard, managed to unfreeze the
06:14billions of unfrozen funds for his country.
06:16But, and there's a big but, he will have to complete a long list of reforms before the bank transfer
06:22is actually made.
06:23For more, we can head to Budapest, where Euronews' Joltan Zboshegi is standing by for us this morning.
06:28So, tell us, Joltan, Hungary still faces huge hurdles to unlock these billions. Will they manage?
06:36Good morning, Europe Today.
06:38Yes, as you mentioned, we are talking about 16.4 billion euros, what is the biggest financial pact in the
06:45modern Hungarian history.
06:47I talked with several decision makers, and they really agreed with each other that they tried to rebuild the budget
06:54and the country from step by step, as they mentioned, from brick to brick.
06:58And the most important mission, what they tried to manage, is to agree about these funds.
07:05And actually, they managed it.
07:07This is what they know so far, and they don't have a proper action plan for the rest of the
07:12year.
07:12The only one thing, what they know, that they promised to Brussels to end up for the corruption.
07:18Most of the opposition parties, mostly the Pides, the ex-government party, demanded, to make it public, what Peter Magyar
07:27promised to Ursula von der Leyen, what he sacrificed.
07:31But he replied that the only thing, what he promised, is that he will end up the Pides corruption.
07:36There are, of course, some critical points.
07:38For example, there is not enough money in the budget, in the terrible-shaped budget, for the pension and tax
07:45reforms.
07:46And, of course, one of the most hot topics is migration, because for 10 years the government was campaigning against
07:53migration, and people are a little bit xenophobic.
07:55So it's a really sensitive topic.
07:57And just very briefly, we've seen also Peter Magyar turning up the pressure on the president, calling on him to
08:01resign.
08:02Tell us more.
08:04So, actually, now he is in the Alexander's Palace, in the presidential palace, trying to convince the president to step
08:12down, because yesterday he announced that he's not going to step down.
08:15And, of course, here in Hungary the president has symbolic power, but still it can destroy the plans of the
08:22Pides party, because they have just three months for all the reforms.
08:26And he can block it, or at least he can make it slower, because he has a political veto.
08:33And it's really difficult to remove him, because the parliament can impeach him.
08:37But the last thing that says is actually the constitutional court and the judges of the constitutional court still are
08:47the people of the Pides party.
08:48Thank you so much for that live update there from Budapest.
08:52And now for the view from a former European commissioner that was actually in charge of rule of law and
08:56values.
08:57We're joined by Vera Jarova, the Czech politician who was vice president of the European Commission until 2024.
09:04Great to have you with us here in the studio.
09:05Good morning. Thank you for having me.
09:07And, of course, you're very familiar with the issues in Hungary.
09:09You've followed them for many years as vice president there.
09:12Hungary now has a new government.
09:14Viktor Orban seems to have disappeared.
09:16Your view on this new era?
09:17Well, I was happy, I have to say, after the elections.
09:21Not only that Viktor Orban is leaving after so many years and after what he has done to Hungarians.
09:30But I was happy that the democratic system worked.
09:35Changing of the guards happened in Budapest.
09:38And Peter Maier, the new prime minister, he was here in Brussels.
09:41There was a deal struck. He was here on Friday.
09:43They managed to unlock the funds, but he has a long list of reforms to do.
09:47Will he manage? It seems like mission impossible there, if you listen to our correspondent.
09:51He has a long list of things to do in a very short time, because most of the money should
09:59be used, committed and invested by August this year.
10:03So this is a very short deadline.
10:06Yes, a long list of things which should not be surprising.
10:11Yeah, because European taxpayers were urging us in the commission to do more, to protect the money going to Hungary,
10:20not to pay the gifts for Viktor Orban's families and friends.
10:25And there's a three-month deadline here. What happens if they don't reach the deadline?
10:28Well, I think that it is feasible to do some reforms in case the legislative process is fast.
10:37Of course, it would be difficult to fulfil something which needs more preparations.
10:44But as I said, Hungarians, the current government, is not surprised.
10:49These are not new requests from Brussels.
10:51What would be the hardest?
10:53I think there are things relating to judiciary independence and division of powers between different layers of justice system.
11:05They should do changes in media world.
11:08And should more have been done before by the previous commission that you were in?
11:13We tried to convince Orbán's government to join the European Public Prosecutor's Office.
11:24This was the main thing I wanted them to do.
11:28Because to protect the EU money...
11:30But they never listened to you.
11:31They didn't trust you. They didn't like you.
11:33You know, they didn't believe that this will go without any reaction if they didn't join.
11:40But after that, the reaction on it was the mechanism to freeze the money when the money is not protected
11:47enough.
11:48Another thing Hungary, of course, under Orban was blocking was Ukraine's membership.
11:52This week we're seeing António Kosz in the Western Balkans trying to put momentum on their potential membership.
11:57What is your view here?
11:58Who should be the next member to join the European Union?
12:00I spoke in recent weeks to many Western Balkan people and they are fed up to be, what, 20 years
12:10in the waiting room.
12:11There must be some move.
12:14And over time I see that more and more we need them to join than they need Europe.
12:20This is obvious that we need to have courage to grow politically, geographically.
12:25We are under big pressure from outside.
12:27If you were a commissioner right now, that's my question.
12:30What would keep you up at night?
12:32What would keep me up at night?
12:34The state of democracy and rule of law in Europe in general.
12:39That's why, by the way, I'm here because I am launching today with my team the new project, Democracy 27,
12:47which is a citizens' initiative and which would complement what the commission is doing.
12:52Would it be China, Russia, Trump?
12:54In international foreign policy, honestly, it's the United States, which scares me.
13:02Very, Rova.
13:03Thank you so much for coming in to us here on Europe Today.
13:06Now, moving on.
13:07The United Nations will be meeting this Monday for a talks called by France to discuss the latest Israeli offensive
13:13in Lebanon
13:14that saw the capture of Beaufort Castle in the south of the country.
13:17It comes, as Lebanese authorities say, the death toll in the country since early March is now over 3,371.
13:24For more, we can head now to Dubai and bring in our regional correspondent, Jane Witherspoon.
13:29Jane, tell us more about this escalation in Lebanon.
13:36Yes, as you mentioned, over the weekend, Israel has taken control of Beaufort Castle in southern Lebanon.
13:44It's a move that has been condemned by France.
13:46They're calling for that UN Security Council meeting that you mentioned.
13:51The Israeli flag is now flying high above that medieval fortress.
13:56This is the deepest incursion in the country in almost a quarter of a century.
14:01Meanwhile, the prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said the capture of the castle
14:07marks a dramatic turning point in Israel's campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
14:13And meanwhile, we're hearing President Trump, Jane, saying he wants to make a deal with Iran.
14:17But at the same time, the U.S. military has struck a commercial ship.
14:20Fill us in on all these details.
14:26That's correct, yes.
14:28The U.S. military struck that commercial ship trying to enter Iran earlier in the morning.
14:34U.S. Central Command have said the Gambia-flagged cargo ship ignored around more than 20 warnings, in fact.
14:41It was eventually stopped when the U.S. forces fired a missile into its engine room.
14:47And this, of course, comes as hostility has resumed across the region over recent days.
14:53And, of course, the world is waiting with bated breath to see if that ceasefire deal can be negotiated.
15:00OK, Jane Witherspoon, thank you so much for that live update there from Dubai.
15:04And we can move on now.
15:05Romania's President Nicolás Ordan has released proof that the drone, which hit a residential building in Galach last weekend, or
15:12last week, was a Russian drone.
15:13He says Moscow is, quote, solely responsible.
15:16For the view from the European Space Agency on their role here in defence and security,
15:21Euronews' Lauren Walker sat down with the head of the European Space Agency, Joseph Aschbacher.
15:26We are not a military organisation.
15:29We are a space agency.
15:30And as a space agency, we develop technology that can be utilised by other users, including the defence community.
15:36So our job and my job is to, first of all, define together on the basis of requirements from the
15:43security defence communities or other users to define the space infrastructure that is needed in order to help them collecting
15:51information,
15:52communicating, navigating and really being sure that they have the tools that space can provide for their defence purposes.
16:01And you can catch the rest of that interview on Euronews.
16:04But now I'd like to bring in the Romanian diplomat and politician Mircea Joana, former Deputy Secretary General of NATO
16:10until 2024,
16:11and now one of the country's most prominent voices on security and defence.
16:15So good morning, sir.
16:16Thank you so much for being with us here on Europe Today.
16:19First, everyone's wondering what the situation now is like in Galach and do people feel safe?
16:25You know, the shock of the Russian incursion and explosion on a block of apartments in Galach is still here
16:34with us.
16:36Just for our viewers to see, Galach is a big city, industrial city on the Danube.
16:43On the other side of the river, there is Ukraine.
16:45And Russia is constantly attacking infrastructure on the Ukrainian side.
16:51And a few times, and this was the most severe incident, they crossed the border, the airspace of Romania, NATO
16:57country.
16:58And that's why in Galach, in the Danube delta, there is a little bit of concern that has been accumulated
17:05in time in the four years and something of all.
17:07And Romania's air force couldn't intercept this drone. Why is that?
17:11You know, a Romanian pilot, an F-16 pilot, shot down a drone in Estonia just a few days back.
17:17They didn't have enough time and space to shoot.
17:21And the question is, whether you shoot, you know, a drone, do you need an F-16, do you need
17:27an F-35, do you need a missile which is so expensive?
17:31So I think the lesson from this, and I think we should have learned it all over the eastern flank
17:36of NATO sooner, is that you need adequate anti-drone sensors, anti-drone equipment, faster procurement systems, because these things
17:46change so fast.
17:47The innovation cycle for drone war is changing so fast that I think our systems are robust, but sometimes there
17:55is basically this balance between the kind of assets we have and the kind of needs we actually have for
18:01such incidents.
18:02Because if this happened once, it's going to happen again.
18:04And Romania is clearly not prepared for these kind of frequent drone incursions.
18:09We have a specific geographical situation, as I mentioned, it's basically very close, so I think we have to find
18:14adequate solutions.
18:16You know, acoustic sensors, this is something that technology exists.
18:19You know, anti-drone systems, this technology exists.
18:22It's a question that we have to procure so much for everything, from high-intensity war or, you know, high
18:29-level gear, let's say lower-end technology like this one is needed.
18:33And I think we have to really prioritize better and internalize the lessons learned from Iran and from Ukraine, because
18:40the two fusion of lessons learned, and I think you have to do much better.
18:44Not only Romania, but I think we see such incidents all along the eastern flank, especially the countries neighboring Ukraine,
18:50like Romania is.
18:51And what would be the next step, with the support of NATO here, of course, if this happens again and
18:56escalates?
18:58You know, I think we have to do a much better effort to try to find the right kind of
19:04air and missile defense for NATO in general.
19:08So if for mid-altitude and high-altitude, let's say there are some things in place, Patriot missiles, you know,
19:15the F-16s, the F-35s, NATO operations,
19:18for these basically low-altitude things, we are still lacking the kind of adequate means.
19:25They do exist on the market. You can acquire them.
19:28The only thing is that you have to put your right priorities in the right place.
19:32Try to make sure that you keep up with the innovation cycle.
19:35This electronic jamming, this daunting, change basically every other few months.
19:40So I think we have to do a much, much faster cycle of procurement and adaptation to this new world.
19:46Okay. Thank you so much for that, for joining us here this morning.
19:50And that does bring this edition of Europe Today to an end for more news and analysis.
