01:46europe met with ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky in london last night to talk about the war
01:52situation the meeting with kia starmer emmanuel macon and frederich mertz came just days after
01:58zelensky suggested direct talks with vladimir putin to end the war for the latest i'm joined in our
02:05studio by euronews's ukraine correspondent sasha vakulina good morning sasha morning so what can you tell
02:12us about the meeting this morning indeed the most important thing that it is coming as you said
02:17following this open letter that volodymyr zelensky sent to vladimir putin asking him to have a meeting
02:24for the first time since russia started its full-scale invasion of ukraine uh in 2022 now the leaders of
02:32france germany and the uk did not position themselves as mediator but they did issue a statement and we're
02:38going to take a look at it supporting the idea of the direct talk this says they supported the proposal
02:45for a direct dialogue between ukraine and russia with active u.s and european participation to bring
02:51about ceasefire and support further negotiations now we have to say that this is yet another thing
02:57that russia rejected including the direct talks the ceasefire and the participation of the eu in any
03:03sort of negotiations stefan now while selensky is in the uk um eu enlargement commissioner marta cross
03:09is on her way to kiev yes indeed in this big political momentum for ukraine with the opening of the
03:17first cluster for ukraine's eu accession marta cross is in ukraine where she's going to be meeting with
03:24the government of ukraine and the speaker of ukrainian parliament to press for reforms now when hungarian
03:32veto is finally lifted and this ukraine is about to take the biggest step yet on its eu path the
03:41closer ukraine moves towards the eu the more desperate russia becomes marta cross said and with
03:45that desperation come more threats more missiles and more attacks now eu enlargement commissioner will
03:51also meet with the eu staff where the ukraine's capital have been living through russia's relentless
03:58bombardment specifically over the past couple of weeks when moscow has been using dozens of
04:02ballistic missiles to attack ukraine's capital and other cities all right such a cool now thank you so
04:08much for that update from ukraine to armenia a landlocked country in the south caucasus where
04:16two and a half million people were called upon to elect a new parliament the election was closely
04:21watched by brussels and moscow ahead of the election russia had stepped up economic pressure
04:27on armenia and threatened to cut off its cheap oil and gas not a comfortable situation for the
04:33outgoing pro-western government let's head over to armenia's capital yerevan where our correspondent
04:39jane witherspoon has the latest for us good morning jane good to see you there what can you tell us
04:45this morning
04:51good morning stefan well yes armenian prime minister nikol pashinyan has declared victory in the elections
04:57here uh he celebrated in the early hours with his civil contract party and he called it a historic
05:05victory the win now over 60 percent of the votes have been counted it's not an absolute win but it
05:11is of
05:12course a majority which is all he needed a sound 54 percent of those votes counted clearly armenia is
05:19turning a page and it's rather tumultuous past couple of decades now the georgian prime minister
05:25was the first leader to congratulate mr pashinyan on that win after just a few votes were actually
05:31counted and mr pashinyan's main opposition of course was the russian billionaire the russian armenian
05:37billionaire sambal karapetyan who actually ran under house arrest he'd been accused of trying to overthrow
05:44the government here now mr pashinyan this has been a real test for him these elections obviously armenia
05:50has been coming under strong economic pressure from moscow and of course there was his election pledge
05:56to also deepen ties with the west it will be really interesting to see how russia responds to this win
06:04uh i have caught up a little earlier with political commentator richard giragosian to find out his views
06:10these are pivotal parliamentary elections in armenia for two main reasons first despite the
06:17geopolitical context the real issue here is on sustaining the momentum of the government's policies
06:25in terms of normalizing relations with neighbors and diplomatic engagement with
06:30azerbaijan and turkey the second real importance of this election is it is armenia's third back-to-back
06:39genuinely free and fair election which is an underestimated element of the need to strengthen
06:46and consolidate democracy in this region what is expected is a recently re-elected prime minister of
06:55armenia going first to moscow to reassure russia that armenia remains committed to the eurasian economic
07:03union russia in turn will ease restrictions on armenian imports and exports yet russia over the longer
07:12term does rely on economics and trade as structural leverage over armenia nevertheless this isn't about
07:21the eu versus russia this is the armenian government's delicate balancing act jane with a spoon in iran
07:29thank you very much for that report now in albania the political unrest continues yesterday saw national
07:37protests for the seventh day in a row as albanians demanded the cancellation of a luxury real estate
07:44project linked to donald trump's son-in-law jared kushner protesters are accusing the government of
07:49selling out a protective wildlife area to the kushner trump clan prime minister edi rama defended himself
07:56in an interview with euronews's eu editor maria tadeo on the sidelines of the eu western balkan summit
08:03last friday here's what he had to say take a listen albania is in a hybrid war there are a
08:10lot of
08:11images that have been that have been spread in the social media of of projects that are not
08:19related to the project of dying flamingos of depressed turtles and of all this it doesn't exist so we have
08:30to talk about reality when the project will be presented of course we'll show it and we'll show it
08:35proudly and i'm sure it will be a project that will will change a lot in how europe understands uh
08:42understands uh environments in general because this is the aim it's not the aim to take a piece of
08:49land to do speculation the aim is to to build uh the most exclusive and the most environmentally
09:00uh precious uh destinations uh destination why because it becomes an elite on land that belongs to
09:09the albania people the land the land belongs to the investors they have bought it from the privates
09:15and that's that's part number one number one number two we are not anymore uh in the bunker of amber
09:23hoja isolated from the world we are part of the world number three exactly because this is investments
09:29come countries change but there is no chance that the progress in albania and the projects in albania
09:35will be defined by street protest this is this will never happen in not under my watch
09:43albanian prime minister edi rama they are speaking to our eu editor maria taddeo when the pope makes
09:50the trip to a very catholic country it's barely newsworthy but the week-long papal visit to spain is
09:58quite a challenge pope leo visits a deeply polarized country where conservatives are turning on the
10:04church the reason the american-born pontiff wants to showcase the catholic church as an advocate
10:10for migrants and asylum seekers for more on this let's cross over to madrid now where our correspondent
10:16maria munoz murillo has all the details for us good morning maria on that polarization of the country
10:24did the pope make any comments good morning from the almudena cathedral where the pope is going to
10:32hold a prayer this same afternoon yes he did first thing he did this saturday when he arrived was to
10:38have a meeting with the king the queen pedro sánchez and leader of the opposition alberto nuñez
10:43and he mentioned the polarization in politics and he also mentioned his aim to reconciliation
10:50he thanked spain for the diplomatic position the country took in the armed situations we have around
10:58the world right now and he also thanked the country for the efforts to to gather the peace around
11:07tell us about the atmosphere do the spanish love the pope or was the reception lukewarm
11:14i would say spaniards are thrilled with this visit after all it's been 15 years since we have a pope
11:22here in spain it was benedict pope francis he had plans to visit spain especially the canary islands
11:29where there is a huge immigration crisis actually pope leo is going to the canary islands this is
11:35seen as a tribute to the late pope and people are happy the city madrid is crowded we were just
11:43in the mass that was celebrated in cibeles and there were around 1.2 million people a lot of
11:50young people and they were singing they were laughing and they were loving having the pope here
11:56all right maria munoz more you thank you so much for that update now regarding the iran war pope leo
12:04has
12:04repeated appeals for peace and dialogue for now in vain indeed peace prospects are not looking good the
12:12situation remains tense especially in lebanon israel and the pro-iranian hezbollah keep attacking each
12:19other and over the weekend iran has issued an evacuation warning to all residents in northern
12:25israel to immediately leave to discuss the situation further let's bring in harvey lecoq now he is the
12:32deputy head of the united nations peacekeeping mission in lebanon unifil good morning sir thanks for
12:38coming on the show good morning stefan thanks for having me so i gotta ask you this first unifil has
12:46been in southern lebanon for nearly five decades yet the area has repeatedly become a battlefield
12:53if your mission's core purpose is to help maintain stability how do you respond to critics who say unifil has
13:00failed well uh it's very important to understand what the mandate of unifil was um it was established in uh
13:11in uh in 78 to monitor the situation at that time the situation has drastically changed as unifil has changed
13:20uh the main change was 2006 during the israel israel lebanon war after which the security council decided to
13:28actually to really strengthen unifil but to keep it uh to keep a mandate of observing supporting the
13:36parties implement the resolution that the security council itself had adopted uh the resolution the
13:43implementation of the resolution disarmament from uh from hezbollah withdrawal of israel from
13:49the libanese territory strengthening of the state authority of lebanon and respect for
13:55territorial integrity was the responsibility of the party of the parties unifil was there to support
14:02that process so both israel and hezbollah have accused unifil at various times of not doing enough
14:09now when both sides are unhappy does that prove your neutrality or does it suggest the mission lacks real
14:16influence on the ground well i think we are here to support the political process most and for all
14:23and unifil is not in charge of that political process right now it's the us that uh that lead the
14:29delegate the negotiations between israel and uh and lebanon and we are here to support that uh as as soon
14:36as
14:37an agreement will be found there was already a cessation of facilities agreement found in november
14:42november 24 uh we have supported this in particular the redeployment of the lebanese armed forces to the south
14:49uh verifying that hezbollah advocated the south uh and helping the the lebanese armed forces to clear the
14:58south of uh weapons that were not under the control of the state so we are here to support a
15:04process but
15:05when the support fail when the process fails then it is not for unifil to to substitute itself to the
15:12parties and enforce uh an agreement that uh that the parties have to implement and and and finally
15:20give us your sense of serious peace prospects are israel and hezbollah ready to stop their attacks
15:29i think it's very difficult to uh to see now um a change within a few weeks there is always
15:37uh the
15:39the chance that the political process the political will of the parties will change things on the
15:44ground i think we see the these under the uh the us negotiation uh that are currently ongoing in
15:51in washington but it's a very complicated process uh it's been going on as you pointed out for many
15:58decades uh it's uh entangled with the regional situation that you pointed out that has again yesterday
16:05uh demonstrated that uh that the solution is not there uh it is linked with a long history
16:14internal uh difficulties within lebanon between the government state authority and an armed group
16:21hezbollah that does not uh abide by it so it's a very complicated process at the same time
16:28the component of settlement are known uh they have been set out by the security council in
16:342006 and the only way to to move forward is to apply that resolution 1701 from the secret council
16:44all right to go for peace all right every lecock deputy head of the united nations peacekeeping mission
16:51in lebanon thank you for your time this morning appreciate it and now to the global event that
16:57millions on every continent are waiting for you're not sure what i mean then listen to our jacob janice
17:08the largest world cup in history will kick off this first day across us canada and mexico
17:12with 48 teams playing 104 matches fans are bracing for a five-week marathon and yes your reporter is
17:20excited to watch the games even though my own team failed to qualify and save me the inevitable
17:26heartbreak but i tell you one thing if you look past the grass the game is also being played by
17:31corporate accountants and yes i know it might not sound sexy but i've got some really interesting
17:36numbers for you to check out you know just in case your team did not qualify either
17:42so fifa proudly projects a 30 billion dollar cash injection for the house nations yet analysts who want
17:49the impact will be practically invisible and for an economic giant like the us it's a drop in the ocean
17:54with most hotels reporting bookings way below forecasts huh and the real winner here is mexico
18:00because its economy relies so heavily on tourism the money carries far more weight potentially boosting
18:06its gdp by up to half a percent with cities like guadalajara monterey and mexico city filling
18:13it the most and spanning 16 cities across a massive continent with no high-speed rail networks fans and
18:19teams must rely almost entirely on planes and this flying circus means transport alone is estimated to
18:25generate over 7 million tons of co2 and total emissions could hit 15 million tons making it the
18:32most polluting tournament in sports history finally fifa has adopted american-style dynamic pricing letting
18:39ticket costs fluctuate based on real-time demand so group stage tickets have climbed to 700 dollars while
18:48premium seats for the final top 10 000 so you see overpriced tickets and hotels expensive flights
18:55and record-breaking emissions sounds like fun but let's be honest if your team wins you won't remember
19:01any of that and if you decide to save your money and still follow the games remember that euronews is
19:07here to give you live updates and the best part it's completely free all right so who are you going
