00:15Buongiorno, è Tuesday, 9 Juni, e questo è Euronews, e questo è Euronews, e questo è Euronews Today.
00:22Welcome to the program, I'm Stefan Grobe.
00:25Coming up, Iran has declared an end to its military operations against Israel after the two sides exchanged a wave
00:33of attacks that threatened to tilt the Middle East back into all-out war.
00:38The Israeli strikes came in apparent defiance of Donald Trump, who told Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu that he did not
00:45think Israel needed to respond further.
00:47How can the European Union remain a relevant global actor and strengthen its internal market to stay competitive?
00:55That's the theme of a high-level conference in Brussels today.
00:59Is there a risk for Europe to be squeezed between Trump's America and an ever more assertive China?
01:05We speak to former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta.
01:09EU defense ministers convened in Nicosia for an informal summit dominated by the war in Ukraine and the thorny question
01:17of restricting Russia financially.
01:20EU foreign policy chief Kaya Callas announced that Hungary cleared the path to unblocking 6.6 billion euros held in
01:28the European Peace Facility, long frozen due to Budapest's objections.
01:33And France is to review 70,000 ongoing allegations of violence against minors after public fury over the death of
01:43an 11-year-old girl.
01:44The reason for the outrage?
01:46The admission by authorities they had not acted on previous child rape allegations against the main suspect.
01:53Lawmakers across the political spectrum now saying the case highlighted the justice system's failure to protect women and children from
02:01sexual violence.
02:04But first, the situation in the Middle East.
02:06Iran's armed forces announced the end of military operations against Israel but warned of a more crushing response if it
02:15resumes attacks on Lebanon or its territory.
02:19Tit-for-tat strikes had followed Israeli attacks on Iran with explosions reported in several Iranian cities as tensions escalated
02:27after Israel struck the southern suburbs of Lebanon's capital.
02:31For more on this, let's head over to Doha, where our correspondent Laila Humaira has the latest for us.
02:39Good morning, Laila.
02:40So, help us decipher the development in the last 24 hours.
02:45How serious is the announced end of military operations?
02:50Good morning, Stefan.
02:52Yes, well, things are still very tense here in the last 24 to 48 hours over the weekend.
02:56As you mentioned, Iran and Israel exchanging direct attacks between the two.
03:01The first time this has happened since the April ceasefire.
03:05And yes, Iran has announced it will halt the aggression.
03:08Israel also announcing it will halt the aggression if the other side stops these attacks.
03:14Now, the halt in the aggressions came after international pressure and, of course, pressure from the U.S. President Donald
03:20Trump as well.
03:21Now, while the peace negotiation, the talks, seems to be at a standstill, a stalemate, yesterday Donald Trump seemed to
03:30allude that there is a movement in some direction on Truth Social, he posted.
03:37Both sides, Israel and Iran, are looking to an immediate ceasefire.
03:42Final negotiations on peace are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way.
03:48Things should move quickly.
03:50Now, we know that in these peace negotiations, there have been a few sticking points.
03:55Among them, Iran's missile and nuclear program, Israel's military, continued military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, security guarantees in the
04:04region, but also the freedom of navigation and the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Stefan.
04:11Yes, you mentioned it.
04:13The Strait of Hormuz remains a flashpoint.
04:16What's the latest here?
04:17Well, it is essentially open, but traffic, shipping traffic, remains slow and is nowhere near the levels of pre-February
04:2728.
04:27Now, in these latest round of escalations, it's also prompted Gulf countries to announce the rerouting of flight paths in
04:35order to resume or continue operations, flight operations, in a safe way.
04:41But still, we know that there are still maritime mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
04:47But also this morning, earlier this morning, we have U.S. media reporting that a U.S. Army Apache helicopter
04:53downed in the Strait of Hormuz.
04:55Crew members were rescued safely.
04:58But it shows that the tense situation that we're still in, and with that peace negotiation or the outcome of
05:04these peace talks still elusive, everyone, it seems, to be remaining on absolute alert here in the region.
05:12All right, Laila Humaira there for us in Doha.
05:16Thank you very much for this update.
05:19And now to the war in Ukraine.
05:21The European Commission is expected to imminently present its 21st sanction package against Russia.
05:27From a Defense Council meeting in Cyprus, the EU's foreign policy chief, Kaya Callas, touted that 80 new listings will
05:35be added, aiming to bring the Kremlin to its knees.
05:38For more on this, I'm now joined by our EU correspondent, Angela Skudjins.
05:43Good morning, Angela.
05:44Good morning, Stefan.
05:44So, what's the timeline of this package, and what's in it?
05:49Yes, so the chatter here in Brussels is that the EU's 21st sanctions package against Russia could be unveiled as
05:55early as today.
05:56But the official line that we're hearing from the Commission is sometime this week.
06:00Now, in terms of the contents, we haven't been given a sneak peek, but I spoke to the EU's sanction
06:05envoy, David O'Sullivan, last week.
06:07He couldn't get in the weeds regarding what would be in the 21st sanctions package.
06:12However, he voiced scepticism regarding two key pillars, the first being the oil price cap, currently set at US $44
06:20.10 US per barrel.
06:22He didn't expect this to be revised down due to the oil price shocks that we just heard from our
06:28correspondent.
06:28He also voiced scepticism regarding the triggering of the full maritime service ban on Russia's shadow fleet.
06:36But the EU's foreign policy chief, Kaya Kallis, did give us an update as to how the Commission and the
06:42Bloc plans on cracking down on the Kremlin further.
06:45She made these comments from Cyprus on Monday.
06:48For next week, Foreign Affairs Council, my services have proposed more than 80 new listings targeting Russia's military-industrial complex,
06:59human rights violators and propagandists.
07:02Brick by brick, we are collapsing the foundations of Russia's war economy.
07:07And Angela, there's one hot topic here that seems to be a substance named alumina.
07:15What is it and why is Ireland under fire for producing it?
07:19Yes, so alumina is a white or nearly colourless substance.
07:23It is the starting metal for the smelting of aluminium metal, a key ingredient for the production of weapons such
07:30as armoured vehicles, fighter jets and more commonly drones.
07:34Now, organish alumina is a refinery in Ireland that has been connected to the production of various weapons commonly found
07:42on the battlefield in Ukraine, used by Russia.
07:46The EU's foreign policy chief, Kaya Kallis, will be touching down in Dublin today to speak with the Irish Prime
07:51Minister, Michal Martin,
07:53to discuss how this starting metal did wind up in Ukraine.
07:58But the big question is whether this will be included in the 21st sanctions package.
08:02Currently, it's not looking likely as you need unanimous support from the 27 EU heads of state.
08:09And with Dublin on the defensive, this is not looking likely.
08:12All right, Angela Skujins, thank you very much for updating us on that one.
08:18And now to another struggle, the efforts by the European economy to stay afloat in a geopolitical landscape marked by
08:26growing competition among major economic blocs.
08:29In about an hour, the Jacques Delors Friends of Europe Foundation will launch its Single Market Summit 2026,
08:37attended by some big names like former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta, president of the Delors Institute, who will also
08:45give the opening address.
08:47But before he does that, he's on Europe today, this morning.
08:50Welcome, Prime Minister, and thanks for making time for us.
08:55It's a great pleasure. Thank you.
08:57So, what are you going to tell the audience?
09:02But we will try to say that it's an incredible opportunity, the opportunity to complete the Single Market,
09:08to strengthen the European economy, resilience, security, strategic autonomy in the main fields where the Single Market is not completed.
09:16energy, connectivity, financial markets, and with this great opportunity to launch the 28 regime, the EU-INC,
09:26the EU-INC, this idea of having a corporate law valid everywhere in Europe for companies, for startups.
09:34We are launching this, you will see it. It's a campaign, it's a campaign. It's not only discussing, reflecting, but
09:42also making people aware around Europe and the fifth freedom and the freedom to stay.
09:47All the different aspects that are fundamental today to make Europeans aware that we have an opportunity to be more
09:54united and to be more autonomous.
09:58In 2024, you wrote a widely acclaimed report on the state of European competitiveness.
10:05What happened then? Have your recommendations been taken to heart?
10:12There was an acceleration in the last three months. The year 25 was a year in which we were all
10:18shocked by the new Trump II era.
10:22the tariffs, the tariffs, wars and the rest. Then Greenland happened. I think Greenland was a big wake-up call
10:30for all European countries and leaders.
10:33And since then, so since February, three European Council meetings and the one, April 24, that launched the strategy One
10:43Europe, One Market, 42 measures with deadlines.
10:47That is the most important part. Deadlines. Q3-26, Q2-27. Deadlines for each of these 42 measures with the
10:58possibility then, in two years' time, to complete the single market and to complete this
11:03resilience. It is a great message to all Europeans. It is the message to say we can be more united
11:11and being more united, we can scale.
11:13And scale today is what is fundamental. We are too fragmented. Today we will launch with main speakers. We will
11:20have the opportunity to have the general manager of the IMF, Kristalina Georgieva, the Prime Minister of Belgium.
11:26Belgium. Belgium was, at the beginning, the one who launched the idea of a report on the single market with
11:35Spain and Sweden, the three presidencies. And I am very happy to have today the Prime Minister of Belgium,
11:41who will be with us to conclude the event and to launch a campaign that starts here in Brussels. But
11:48we have the next date in autumn. We will be in Berlin, in Paris, in Stockholm, in Bucharest, in all
11:56the different countries.
11:57I want to bring up another hot topic. Right now, the Chinese are eating our lunch, and we're kind of
12:04passing them the forks and knives. It seems that Europe has no leverage over China. We need their rare minerals
12:11and their markets. So what should be our China strategy?
12:17But in reality, one of the 42 measures is the Industrial Accelerator Act. That is partially the first answer to
12:25this problem. We will discuss it today. The Industrial Accelerator Act has to be approved, and the discussion has to
12:33be the way in which we will approve it.
12:35The way in which this Industrial Accelerator Act can protect the European industry and can save our manufacturing. So there
12:46are tools. Now it's time to be able to land with these ideas. And as you said, China is one
12:53of the main issues.
12:54But in general, the message that we will send today is the following one. We don't want to be a
13:02colony of the U.S. and we don't want to be a colony of China. We want to be Europeans.
13:06And a quick one. When you look at China's state-backed industrial policy and Trump's tariff-driven protectionism, are Europeans
13:13the last true believers in free trade? And are they paying a price for it?
13:19Yes, we are. But also we are, I think, the point of reference for large part of the world. There
13:27are not only China and the U.S. in the world. There are a lot of countries and places in
13:33the world that want to be in dialogue with us.
13:35And the fact that we had India, Indonesia, Australia, Mexico and Mercosur, as in the last four months agreements between
13:43Europe and this part of the world, is for me a great message of power from the European Union and
13:49attractiveness from the European Union.
13:51We have to be a little bit more proud of what we are.
13:54All right, Enrico Letta, president of the Jacques Delors Institute. Thank you so much, sir, for helping us understand everything
14:02that is at stake here.
14:07All right, let's go back to Ukraine for a moment and talk about the vicious diplomatic clash that, for once,
14:15does not involve Russia, but Poland.
14:17And it has nothing to do with weapons, borders or NATO logistics. It's about sensitive memory.
14:25Jakub Janas tells a story about historical grievances and wartime legacies.
14:33Politics is about symbols and this time was no different.
14:37A recent military designation has sparked a major diplomatic crisis between Warsaw and Kyiv.
14:43President Volodymyr Zelensky named an elite special operations unit after UPA heroes to honor their modern battlefield performance.
14:51And in response, Polish president Karol Nawrocki announced intentions to strip Zelensky of Poland's highest state award, the Order of
14:59the White Eagle.
15:00This dispute exposes deeply conflicting national narratives.
15:04What exactly is going on here?
15:07For Poland, the UPA, so Ukrainian insurgent army, is responsible for a campaign of genocidal ethnic cleansing in the 1940s
15:16that resulted in the deaths of an estimated 100,000 Polish civilians in Volyn in Ukrainian or Wojny in Polish,
15:24so a historic region with deep Polish and Ukrainian roots.
15:28This violence also systematically targeted Jewish survivors who had escaped the Holocaust.
15:33Conversely, for Ukraine, the UPA is remembered as a symbol of anti-Soviet resistance and a heroic struggle for independence.
15:41And as Ukraine defends itself against the full-scale Russian invasion, this legacy of resistance is viewed as a vital
15:47tool for public resilience.
15:49And Ukrainian officials emphasize that this designation was a grassroots request from the front-line soldiers with no anti-Polish
15:56intentions.
15:57However, Polish leaders maintain that the memory of the victims is entirely non-negotiable.
16:02The risks of this trust crisis are exceptionally high, with some in Warsaw even calling for blocking Ukraine's EU accession
16:09over the scandal.
16:11And public solidarity is also facing pressure, as this unresolved dispute risks breaking the bond between both nations.
16:18And addressing the tension, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk noted that both nations must prevent historical emotions from destroying their
16:25solidarity.
16:26A prolonged conflict to squirt ultimately only serves the strategic interests of Moscow.
16:32So, as said, politics is about symbols, but this time it could be different.
16:37Because history shows that even the deepest historical wounds can be managed through active cooperation.
16:44A precedent clearly seen in the journey of Polish-German reconciliation.
16:49The Ukrainian insurgent army will always remain a deeply divisive symbol.
16:54Yet, the shared security of both nations today depends on managing this historical pain together,
17:00rather than allowing the past to shatter their alliance.
17:08Jakob Janas there, thank you for your reporting.
17:12To France now, where the Justice Minister has ordered public prosecutors to review 70,000 allegations of violence against minors.
17:21A reaction to the public fury at the death of an 11-year-old schoolgirl that has exposed cracks in
17:27the country's judicial system.
17:29Across the country, thousands took to the streets to protest what President Macron has condemned as unacceptable lapses in the
17:37authorities' handling of the case.
17:40Let's bring in Dennis Lochtier in Lyon, who has all the details.
17:44Good morning, Dennis.
17:47Hello, Stefan.
17:48So, you were at the rally in Lyon last night.
17:51What are people demanding?
17:52Is it purely about justice for the poor girl, or is there a wider message?
17:59Indeed, in Lyon and around the country, the message from the crowd is clear.
18:05It's not just about justice for Lyanna, but it's about a system that many here believe has failed all children.
18:13People I spoke to described Lyanna's murder as a symbol of a wider problem.
18:19Adults who are reported for sexual violence against minors are being allowed to stay free, and complaints are moving too
18:28slowly through the system, and children left without real protection until it's too late.
18:35So, these rallies are demanding concrete changes.
18:39The demand that every complaint for abuse on a child is being treated as a priority with clear deadlines and
18:48no more delays.
18:49And suspected abusers must be automatically removed from all contact from these children while investigations are ongoing.
18:58And more resources need to be given to child protection services so they can follow up on reports properly.
19:05So, the government has admitted serious failures.
19:09Ministers have promised a lot.
19:12Is that enough for the people you spoke to?
19:17Yes, ministers have said that they will review about 70,000 pending complaints involving children, and that will be done
19:28by 14th of July.
19:29The Justice Minister, Gérard Darmanin, has publicly acknowledged serious failures in the Lyanna's case, and he said that the institutions
19:40did not protect the child as they should have.
19:44But, of course, for many people at the rally yesterday, that is not enough yet.
19:49They want to see that review lead to faster action, especially on repeated reports.
19:55Yeah, Dennis, that's all the time we have.
19:57What a troubling story.
19:59Dennis locked here in Lyon there.
20:01Thank you very much.
