09:50είναι μεγάλωση σε χρόνια.
09:52Και έτσι, να πιστεύουμε,
09:53δεν θα μπορούμε να έρθουμε αυτήν την νέα δημιουργία
09:56μέχρι στις 20.30.
09:58Αυτό δεν υπήρχε καλύτερα με μένα.
10:00Και δεν υπήρχε καλύτερα με την ομάδα μας.
10:03Δημιουργήσαμε τι αλτερνάτιβες
10:04μπορούμε να βρουμε.
10:05Αυτό συμβαίνει ένα συμφωνία
10:07με κάποιες χώρες,
10:08γιατί ένα χώρο μπορεί να μας δώσει το σπίτι
10:12και μπορούμε να έρθουμε το σπίτι
10:14και να έρθουμε τα συστήματα πριν.
10:20έτσι, η ίδιο μία μία μία,
10:22ακόμα η ίδιακή Ιηθύνη,
10:25πήγαν να εξατήσει την Αυρία
10:27να έρθει επιχειρηματικάזρες
10:29This visit came in63,
10:35και όπως θα έρθει ουκρανιακάτητας
10:39ήταν στς πρώτας που Ένωριζαν να προστέφτει την Κάντη.
10:42Πρέπει να έρθει την Αυρία ίδιακή,
10:45προσταστεί η Πράγματος της ίδιακάτης
10:48Αυριακάτης της πράγματος
10:50χωρίς από την Ελλάδα, από την Ελλάδα, και η Ελλάδα σημαίνει ότι ο Βαλόδημος Ζηλενσκύης ότι αυτή η στραγή είναι
10:57επίπεδο,
10:58επειδή Κύριε είναι στραγωγής και ενεργασίας, σημαντικά εργασίες, σημαντικά εργασίες.
11:04Αλλά αυτό δείχνει μεγάλη πρόκληση.
11:07Αυτή είναι κάτι που ήταν γνωρίζED από την Σεκριτή Γενελή της NATO.
11:10Ας δούμε.
11:12Η Ελλάδα είναι τόσο συμπέροχο, ότι Πουτιν είναι μόνο μπορεί να γίνει ένα 9η-May παράδειγμα
11:18with an official presidential decree by this president.
11:21So this is basically how far you got.
11:25And I think for two hours you allowed him to do it.
11:28And it ended in one hour and 55 minutes.
11:30So he didn't take a risk.
11:32Marco Rutte there speaking from Kyiv.
11:34And before that, of course, our Sascha Vakilina.
11:35Thank you so much for that update.
11:37But now, moving on, after another round of negotiations,
11:41Israel and Lebanon have agreed to implement a ceasefire contingent on a cessation of Hezbollah fire
11:46and the removal of Hezbollah operatives from southern Lebanon.
11:51It comes as Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Arachi,
11:54says the U.S.-Israel war with Iran will only end when it also ends in Lebanon.
12:00For the view from Beirut, we're joined now by Ghassan Salami,
12:02a huge academic and political figure in Lebanon,
12:05currently serving as the Minister of Culture.
12:08Good morning, Minister.
12:08Thank you so much for joining us here this morning.
12:10So first question, the obvious one.
12:12What is your reaction to this agreement?
12:14Is it a genuine breakthrough or just another temporary pause in the fighting?
12:19We hope it's genuine.
12:21We had a ceasefire already on April the 16th.
12:24That was not implemented.
12:27So now the proof of the genuine nature of this new agreement is in its implementation.
12:34And therefore the agreement is still fresh a few hours old.
12:40So it's probably too early to decide how serious it is.
12:44But we certainly take it seriously.
12:47And that's the problem.
12:48The previous ceasefire did not work with many calling it just an armed truce.
12:53It was not even a truce.
12:55I mean, hundreds of people have been killed during the six weeks,
13:00the six past weeks after the announcement of the latest or penultimate ceasefire agreement.
13:09This new one has a direct commitment by the mediator.
13:14That is the United States.
13:16And it has a number of points that need to be implemented on the ground.
13:21We need also to have the two governments implementing it, each on its side.
13:28We are trying, we will be trying to implement our side of the agreement.
13:33And we hope that on the other side, where we hear some ministers in the Israeli cabinet
13:40already refusing the agreement, which is not very helpful.
13:46and we need also to have a common interpretation of the various paragraphs in the agreement.
13:54And I hope that some of the sort of far-fetched interpretations I heard this morning from the Israeli Prime
14:02Minister
14:03and the Minister of Defence are only for public consumption, not their real position.
14:09And of course, there's tension, isn't there, between President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu and then Lebanon.
14:16You're stuck right in the middle.
14:18We are, we are, but without American pressure, we are not expecting the Israeli government to move forward towards such
14:29agreement.
14:29So it is under American sustained pressure that we can expect a real implementation this time.
14:39And will Hezbollah comply with the terms, do you think?
14:42They have been silent so far, but we expect them to express their position during the day.
14:50Because it's true that the agreement calls for a ceasefire on both sides
14:55and for the withdrawal of Hezbollah fighters from south of the Lethanu.
15:01We are expecting their reaction during the day.
15:04And just describe the damage done so far by Israel.
15:07The last time we spoke here on Europe today, you described it as an incursion.
15:13That's how they put it.
15:15But this incursion has been bloody.
15:19And as Minister of Culture, I should say that it also destroyed 60 villages entirely, flattened out.
15:29And a number of very important heritage positions have been also hit, including the Chateau du Beaufort, to which Lebanese
15:41are very attached.
15:42Not to mention the Shama position, which is a very important religious position in south Lebanon.
15:54So we hope that this time implementation will be serious.
15:59We are going to implement the government side of the agreement.
16:06We hope that we have a clear answer from Hezbollah during the day.
16:11and we hope that the Israelis don't over-interpret what's in it in a way that becomes unacceptable to us.
16:20OK. Minister Ghassan Salameh, thank you so much for joining us here this morning on Europe Today Live on Euronews.
16:26But now, moving on, Berlin is licking its wounds after failing to secure a rotating spot on the UN Security
16:33Council.
16:34For more on this big blow for Berlin, we're joined by our very own Stefan Krobey, who despite his German
16:38accent, or his American accent, excuse me, is actually German.
16:42You've got a wonderfully fluent English accent.
16:45Stefan, just tell us, you know, you are German, as I said. How are Germans reacting to this news?
16:49I have to admit, Maeve, for Germany, this one hurts, right?
16:54Germany failing to win a seat on the Security Council is not just a diplomatic, an obscure diplomatic blow.
17:02For Germans, it feels like something bigger. It's a reality check.
17:07For years, Germans have told themselves that the country is one of the world's indispensable nations.
17:13It's Europe's economic engine. It's a champion of international cooperation, a country others look to for leadership.
17:22Yet, when the votes were counted at the UN, the world looked elsewhere.
17:26And perhaps Germans shouldn't be surprised.
17:29For too long, Germany assumed that its economic power would automatically translate into political influence.
17:36Germans believe that because they paid the bills, because they supported international institutions, and because they praised multilateralism, other countries
17:45would naturally back them.
17:48Yet, clearly, many do not.
17:50So, the uncomfortable truth is that Germany's international standing in the world may not be what Germans think it is.
17:58Of course, Germany remains a powerful country. One vote at the UN will not change that.
18:03But symbols matter in diplomacy. And this symbol, Maeve, was painful.
18:09It was painful. And also for Friedrich Merz, now the Chancellor.
18:13Well, look, for Friedrich Merz, the vote was absolutely embarrassing.
18:17Merz has made rebuilding Germany's international standing a central theme of his chancellorship.
18:23After years of criticism that Germany is hesitant, inward-looking, he has presented himself as a leader willing to put
18:31Germany at the center of world affairs.
18:34Now, losing such an important international vote is exactly that kind of setback opponents can point to as evidence that
18:44his strategy is not delivering any results.
18:47So, this failure at the UN only further weakens his domestic position in Berlin, which is already fragile, and might
18:57fuel attempts within his own Christian Democratic Party, Maeve, to get rid of him.
19:02Okay, Stéphane Crobbé, thank you so much for that update there.
