Europe Today: accordo di pace USA-Iran a rischio, l’UE approva la nuova legge migratoria
Nonostante l’offensiva israeliana in Libano e le minacce iraniane sulla tregua con gli USA, Trump dice che i colloqui di pace continueranno. In Europa l’Ue approva una legge migratoria che permette hub di rimpatrio in Paesi terzi.

00:15Buongiorno, è Tuesday 2 di Juni, io sono Mave McMahin e questo è Europe Today,
00:21la mia giornata di europeanze e analisi, live here on Euronews.
00:25Coming up, after talks last night, EU institutions reached a deal on what could become the bloc's toughest migration rules
00:33to date.
00:34Known as the so-called Returns Directive, the regulation would expand deportation powers for member states.
00:40Some fear Brussels is adopting elements of the US approach to migration enforcement.
00:45By the way, on the trade front, MEPs on the European Parliament's Trade Committee will be voting today on the
00:50Turnberry Tariff Agreement covering transatlantic business.
00:54Valued at 1.68 trillion dollars, the vote is expected to pave the way for final ratification and implementation of
01:02the much debated deal.
01:04And after two months of haggling, Mette Friederiksen will soon return as the Danish Prime Minister for her third term.
01:10Her four-party centre-left coalition consists of her Social Democrats, the Moderates, the Green Left and the Social Liberals.
01:18The government's priorities will be presented today, while ministers will be named tomorrow.
01:23Plus, the EU has condemned what it describes as Russian pressure on Armenia ahead of parliamentary elections taking place.
01:30This Sunday, Brussels pushed back after Moscow suggested Yerevan should hold an immediate referendum to leave the Russian-led Eurasian
01:38Economic Union.
01:39But first, Iran has suspended peace talks with the US until Israeli operations in Lebanon come to an end.
01:46In response, Donald Trump now says that Hezbollah and Israel have agreed to de-escalation, to scale back fighting.
01:54Oil prices had surged just yesterday by more than $3 a barrel.
01:59Now, shortly, we'll cross live to Lebanon, which was drawn into the conflict in early March when Hezbollah began launching
02:04rockets into Israel.
02:05But first, let's get the latest from Euronews' regional correspondent, Jane Witherspoon.
02:10Jane, good morning. Just tell us, what is the latest? Bring us up to speed.
02:18Good morning. This really is a tale of two sides, with each saying completely different things.
02:23President Trump said yesterday he couldn't care less whether the peace deal talks with Iran continue or whether they fail.
02:31That said, he still is playing mediation of sorts.
02:36He has spoken to Hezbollah via intermediaries and secured an agreement that it would not attack Israel.
02:44He did, of course, take to his truth social and he wrote,
03:00Jane, is this just tactics, though? Could we really see more escalation?
03:09Well, who knows? Every day we wake up to different news.
03:13Iran, meanwhile, has said that it has suspended all indirect talks with the U.S.
03:18and announced that it would pursue complete closure of the U.S.
03:23or murders, accused Israel of continuing crimes in Lebanon,
03:27and stating that he sees fire on one front of the U.S. in general.
03:33He has a foreign spokesperson.
03:36And just, Jane, if I may, what impact is this all this uncertainty having on business?
03:51OK, and apologies to our viewers there.
03:55We're having some technical difficulties hearing there from our correspondent.
03:58That was, of course, Jane Witherspoon reporting live there from Dubai.
04:02And now for the view from Lebanon, we can head to Beirut
04:04and speak to the Lebanese MP and former Deputy Prime Minister Ghassan Hazzbani.
04:09Good morning. Welcome to the programme. Thank you so much for joining us.
04:13Good morning.
04:14So, look, President Trump has said now he's had a severe call with Israel's Netanyahu,
04:17and now he says no Israeli troops can go into Beirut.
04:21Have you any faith, though, in this phone call?
04:25Well, the situation is actually more complicated than this.
04:29The Israelis had threatened to target the suburbs of Beirut,
04:33the stronghold of Hezbollah headquarters.
04:36If Hezbollah continued to target Israel's towns and settlements in the north.
04:42And that was basically the condition that after calls between the Lebanese authorities
04:48and the United States administration,
04:51we ended up with effectively averting the suburbs of Beirut,
04:57such an attack and de-escalation of the conflict,
05:00with the promise from Hezbollah that they would cease the targeting of the Israeli towns.
05:05Yet, this has not been really cemented and clarified as how it will be implemented
05:12and whether it will hold for a long time.
05:16This morning, it has been quieter than the last few days, of course,
05:20but it is unclear whether the Israelis will continue their operations in the south of Lebanon
05:27on the ground against Hezbollah or whether they will simply cease all operations based on this U.S. request
05:35to clear the way for the Lebanese-Israeli discussions in Washington.
05:39And that's the big concern.
05:40Is a real ceasefire actually taking shape?
05:42Because we're seeing clashes still ongoing despite all those announcements.
05:46And also two Israeli soldiers killed just by Hezbollah.
05:50Yes, indeed.
05:51I think the impression here on the ground is that the ceasefire would probably be limited
05:57to not targeting the Beirut suburb, if it holds.
06:02But the operations on the ground in the south seem to be continuing against Hezbollah,
06:08who incidentally was the one who restarted this confrontation
06:11by sending rockets to Israel upon the assassination of the Khamenei.
06:17And what about the Israelis?
06:18Do you trust the Israelis to stop the killings?
06:20We haven't heard now from Betanyahu after that phone call last night with President Trump.
06:25I don't trust any side to stop anything
06:28because Hezbollah effectively is an Iranian faction on Lebanese territory,
06:33dictated, their actions are being largely dictated by the war that's ongoing today.
06:40And they are effectively a militarized force outside the Lebanese government control
06:45on the eastern Mediterranean, controlled by Iran.
06:47And they are at war with Israel.
06:50So it's not the Lebanese state that's at war with Israel at this point.
06:53And effectively what the Lebanese state is trying is to de-escalate
06:59and avert or avoid further destruction in Lebanon in a war
07:03that is not for Lebanon to be part of anyway.
07:07And describe now the situation on the ground in Lebanon.
07:10And it got from bad to worse recently.
07:13Indeed, it got worse.
07:15And we had effectively a cessation of hostilities for about 15 months
07:20before it restarted in March.
07:22As I said, as Hezbollah restarted targeting Israel,
07:26it was essentially a fragile ceasefire on the premise
07:30that Hezbollah would be fully dismantled by the Lebanese government.
07:34This was happening, but a much slower pace than expected,
07:37given the limited capabilities available with the Lebanese armed forces.
07:42But the war in Iran triggered a new attack from Hezbollah towards Israel,
07:47which led to a further escalation that we are seeing right now.
07:51So it's very difficult to tell how this will end.
07:56But it is very important to know that the Lebanese government has announced Hezbollah
08:01to be an illegal entity, the military activities of Hezbollah to be completely illegal.
08:05And today it is about how can the Lebanese government control all of its territory
08:12and establish its sovereignty with the help of its supporting countries
08:16and to control the decision on war and peace
08:20so that we can avoid such a situation happening in the future
08:24where militarized factions on Lebanese territory can pull the trigger at any point in time
08:29and drag Lebanon into a war with Israel again.
08:32And on that point, do you feel supported on the international stage
08:34or do you feel completely isolated?
08:37No, right now there's great support,
08:39particularly coming from the United States administration.
08:42We rarely have this kind of attention at the highest possible level,
08:46which is the president in this instance.
08:49We have the support of the European Union and the European countries individually
08:54to bring about stability and peace to Lebanon
08:59and to control any activities on Lebanese territory by the Lebanese government
09:04so that the country can recover, we can reconstruct what was destroyed
09:10and we can exit from an economic and financial crisis
09:15that we have been struggling with for many years, even before the conflict started.
09:20But as you said earlier, you do not trust the Israelis at this point.
09:22What do you think their endgame is here with their military incursion?
09:26I do not trust neither the Israelis nor the Iranians to stop this conflict
09:32until there is a clear resolution to the arms outside the Lebanese government control.
09:40Effectively, Lebanon for more than 70 years has been struggling with this,
09:44struggling with militarized factions on its territory outside the Lebanese government control,
09:48launching attacks on Israel and Israel retaliating and invading,
09:54then withdrawing, then invading again.
09:56So this has been an ongoing situation for many, many years that Lebanon cannot sustain.
10:01So basically, what we need to have is stability in Lebanon
10:05and the Lebanese government in full control of its territory
10:09so that it would be part of the international law and protected by international law.
10:14OK, Mr Hasbani, thank you so much for taking the time out this morning
10:17to speak to us here live on Europe Today.
10:20Now, moving on, the EU Council and the EU Parliament
10:22has rubber-stamped a controversial law to speed up the return of migrants
10:26that have no right to stay in Europe and set up so-called return hubs.
10:30Those in favour say it's a smart way to manage migration
10:33ahead of big elections in France and Italy next year.
10:36But critics warn of a xenophobic twist in EU affairs.
10:40For more on this deal, we're joined here in the studio
10:42by our very own Stefan Krobey.
10:44Stefan, quite a shift to the right here.
10:46This would have been a major taboo 10 years ago.
10:49Yeah, absolutely, Maeve.
10:50I mean, the whole discussion about return hubs
10:52shows you just how far the EU has moved
10:55towards a tougher approach on migration.
10:58Remember, 10 years ago, during the migration crisis,
11:01Europe opened its doors to more than a million asylum seekers.
11:06And what happened?
11:08Migration became Europe's most polarising political issue.
11:12And the populist backlash never really ended.
11:15That's why we've seen right-wing parties surging across the continent,
11:19campaigning on promises to cut migration and to tighten borders.
11:25Those parties exploited the fact that the EU had struggled
11:28with a very simple problem.
11:30And that is that thousands of migrants
11:32whose asylum applications were rejected
11:34stayed in Europe anyway.
11:37Governments complained that deportations were too slow,
11:39too complicated, too bureaucratic, or even impossible.
11:43Now Brussels wants a long-lasting solution,
11:47the return hubs.
11:49Just a few years ago, just a proposal
11:51that would have been politically unthinkable in this town,
11:55as you alluded to.
11:56But today it has become a part of a much broader shift
12:00in European migration policy.
12:02The message is no longer simply welcome, but control.
12:07The EU has strengthened border controls,
12:10expanded the powers of Frontex,
12:13and signed migration deals with countries outside the EU.
12:17And Europe increasingly focused on deterrence
12:20rather than reception.
12:22So return hubs may be the clearest symbol yet
12:27of that transformation, Maeve.
12:29Okay, Stefan Krobey, thank you so much for that update.
12:31And now for the view from the European Parliament.
12:34Coming up, we'll be joined by Charlie Weimers,
12:36the Swedish member of the European Parliament
12:38from the right-wing Swedish Democrats,
12:40the Vice President of the European Conservative
12:42and Reformists,
12:43who's been working on this file inside the European Parliament.
12:46The Parliament, of course, will have to greenlight this file
12:50and also EU countries, but it could enter into force
12:53as soon as next month.
12:55Good morning, sir. Welcome to Europe Today.
12:57Good morning. Thanks for having me.
12:59So I know we've been debating this here in Brussels for months,
13:01but just remind our viewers, what is in this deal?
13:03Because some say the measures are rather draconian.
13:06Well, the EU has reached a landmark deal
13:09on the return regulation.
13:10That means, for instance, longer detention periods
13:14to prevent people from absconding,
13:17firm entry bans that carry real weight,
13:21and the legal framework for return hubs.
13:25So, indeed, the era of deportations has begun.
13:29We're moving from words to actual enforcement
13:32of our laws and our borders.
13:34But this kind of language would not have been used
13:36here in Brussels 10 years ago.
13:38What has changed?
13:40Reality has kicked in.
13:42And everyone sees that mass uncontrolled migration
13:46cannot continue, and people demand answers
13:50to how we are going to take back control
13:52over the migration policy.
13:54And remember, one out of five with a final return decision
13:59is going home today.
14:01Hundreds of thousands of people are going into the shadows
14:05every year in Europe, and that needs to stop.
14:08But the mass migration crisis, if you like, was in 2016.
14:11In 2026, the picture is very different,
14:13and the numbers of irregular migration are gone down,
14:16if you look at the Frontex.
14:17Well, they have gone down since 2015.
14:19That was a very extreme year.
14:21But the effects, the consequences of years
14:26of illegal migration are there.
14:29Just look at Paris this past week,
14:31and people see this, and they demand
14:34that the EU does something about border control,
14:37does something about returns.
14:39But why do you think this will fix the problem?
14:40Does migration not need an overall much more holistic approach?
14:43Well, we do have a holistic approach.
14:46For instance, we are stopping asylum shopping,
14:49people moving through a range of safe countries
14:52on their way to a destination in a rich country in Europe.
14:55Now we are focusing on helping people in their area.
15:00We are also looking at how to make countries
15:04take back their own citizens,
15:06something that has been one of the major obstacles
15:10to effective returns through the years.
15:13We are going to use trade, aid, visa policy
15:17to get those countries to take back their citizens.
15:21But the Greens, another party in the NGO,
15:23civil society, are not happy.
15:24The Greens have said this agreement
15:25legalizes return hubs outside the EU.
15:28It gives a green light to the detention of minors
15:30and to lifetime entry bans without serious legal grounds.
15:34They say fundamental rights stand at the top
15:36of the hierarchy of norms.
15:37Because the EU is meant to be a union of values.
15:39We hear there's so much coming out of Brussels.
15:42A very important value of the European Union
15:45is rule of law.
15:47And if we're talking about human rights,
15:50that includes the right of Europeans
15:51to live in safe societies governed by the rule of law.
15:54And I wonder why the Greens won't accept the idea of,
15:59for instance, terror suspects getting lifetime entry bans.
16:04Why do the Greens want them in Europe?
16:07That's the question.
16:07That's a question for perhaps The Ring,
16:09our debating show here on Euronews.
16:11Mr. Vimers, thank you so much for being our guest
16:13this morning on Europe Today.
16:14And now moving on,
16:16we can bring in another story now,
16:18which brings us to France,
16:20where allies there have detained
16:21a sanctioned Russian oil tanker
16:23in the Atlantic over the weekend.
16:24President Macron has said for more
16:27on how ships are illegally transporting
16:29sanctioned Russian oil.
16:30Here's our Jakob Yanis
16:31with the help of Jorge Lebradero.
16:35For most Europeans,
16:37it was just another quiet weekend.
16:39But out in the Atlantic,
16:40a high-stakes naval send-off was playing out.
16:43Last Sunday,
16:44French maritime forces operating alongside the UK
16:47intercepted a sanctioned Russian oil tanker
16:50named the Tager.
16:51And its Russian captain
16:52flantly refused to comply with orders,
16:55forcing military teams to take control of the vessel.
16:57And yesterday,
16:59French President Emmanuel Macron
17:00declared it completely unacceptable for ships
17:02to bypass international sanctions
17:05and fund Russia's ongoing war.
17:07But hold on for a second.
17:08What actually is the Shadow Fleet?
17:11And how does it affect Europeans?
17:14Russia's infamous Shadow Fleet
17:16is a clandestine armada of tankers
17:19that Moscow has deployed
17:20to bypass international sanctions on oil sales,
17:23most notably the G7 price cap.
17:26And the Kremlin has spent billions
17:28to buy dilapidated ships of milky ownership
17:30that fall short of the premium insurance
17:32and as a result evade Western oversight.
17:36But insurance is just one of the ways
17:38that the Shadow Fleet uses to avoid global tracking.
17:41Take a look.
17:42These ghost vessels manipulate the registration,
17:45switch flags to jump from one jurisdiction to another,
17:48transmit falsified GPS data,
17:51or turn off their transponders
17:52to become invisible at sea.
17:54Finally,
17:55they rely on the oldest trick in the book,
17:57moving their oil cargo between ships
18:00to mask its true origin before it ever reaches port.
18:03And yes,
18:04the EU,
18:05through successive packages of sanctions,
18:07has blacklisted over 600 of these Shadow Vessels.
18:10But the years-long crackdown
18:12has turned into a frustrating game of a whack-a-mole.
18:15Which simply means
18:16that the moment one ship is designated,
18:18another emerges from the dark.
18:20Which might seem like fun,
18:22but for Europeans,
18:23this is not just a financial game of cat and mouse.
18:26These vessels are in extremely poor condition,
18:29making them an environmental ticking clock
18:32for a catastrophic oil spill on European shores.
18:35Also,
18:36a tanker,
18:36thought to be a part of the fleet,
18:38has been caught in the Baltic Sea,
18:40dragging its anchor
18:41to damage critical undersea cables.
18:43And historically,
18:44global maritime laws
18:45were written to protect free trade
18:47under the premise of innocent passage.
18:49But,
18:50as you can see,
18:51there is nothing innocent
18:52in how Russia uses these rules
18:54as a shield
18:54to fund its war machine.
19:01And with that,
19:02we can bring this edition of Europe Today
19:04to an end.
