00:00Grazie a tutti.
00:30In Jordan, after President Donald Trump blamed Teh Khan for the downing of an American Apache helicopter near the Strait
00:37of Hormuz.
00:38The attack comes as members of the UN Security Council remain divided over sanctions linked to Iran's nuclear programme.
00:45Meanwhile, in southern Lebanon, Israel has carried out airstrikes that caused a number of deaths and many serious injuries.
00:52As locals flee to safety, Iran has warned of, quote, crushing measures if Israel continues its assault.
00:58And here in Brussels, EU leaders are rolling out the red carpet today for South Korean President Lee.
01:05The EU-South Korea summit takes place as part of his 10-day tour of Europe, which will culminate at
01:10the G7 summit in France next week.
01:12But first, the U.S. has launched multiple waves of strikes on Iran in response to a military helicopter crash
01:18off the Strait of Hormuz.
01:20Reports say the helicopter went down after colliding with an Iranian drone, but it's not clear whether the collision was
01:27intentional.
01:28In a post on social media, Donald Trump says there were two pilots involved, both safe and uninjured.
01:37Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack.
01:44Soon after, Iran said no attack would go unanswered and launched retaliatory attacks against a number of U.S. bases
01:50in Beijing.
01:51For analysis, we're joined now by General Dominique Trincon, a retired French Army General and former head of France's military
01:58mission to the UN in New York,
02:00an expert in international security, peacekeeping operations and military strategy.
02:05Good morning, General. Good to have you with us on the programme.
02:10Now, these latest developments severely threatened the fragile ceasefire, which has seen already many clashes inside and outside the Strait.
02:18From your perspective, how close is the ceasefire to complete collapse?
02:23You need to be careful about what you're calling a ceasefire.
02:27It's just a declaration. There is no agreement, in fact.
02:31So, the declaration by the U.S. of a ceasefire means that it's up to the U.S. to decide
02:38if there is a breach or not,
02:41because there is no agreement with the Iranians.
02:44So, we are no longer at war. We are not yet at peace.
02:48We are just in between.
02:50And each time there is a problem, of course, they use the force.
02:54That was the case after the shutdown of the helicopter and the strike by the Iranians and the strike by
03:01the U.S.
03:02But they declare that they are still at ceasefire.
03:06And how bad could it get?
03:08What is the military endgame here, do you think?
03:12Military endgame is difficult.
03:14I think it will last very long because the U.S. want to get out from this trap.
03:21The Iranians don't care if their people are killed.
03:26They don't care if there is a real ceasefire because they've got now a very powerful government in Iran
03:38because there is no opposition at all.
03:40And because of the strike by the U.S. in Iran is reinforcing the power in Tehran.
03:48And so, it can last long.
03:50But they want to have an agreement to ease the economic sanction.
03:56And, of course, the U.S. are the only ones to negotiate with the Iranians.
04:00Neither the Israeli nor the European, no one else.
04:03And so, it's only up to President Trump to show that he has to win something.
04:10And that's the thing.
04:11President Trump tends to change his mind every five minutes.
04:14Can diplomacy hold at all at any stage?
04:16Have you any hope for a diplomatic end to this?
04:19There will be only a diplomatic end because war will not change anything.
04:25We've been at war for three months now with one very severe war with many strikes
04:33and nothing happened in the change.
04:36The country now almost is controlled by the Iranians.
04:40So, I think that only a diplomatic movement can change something.
04:45But it will be very difficult because the Iranians are really in a powerful situation now.
04:51And just finally, your thoughts on Lebanon.
04:54Do you think Lebanon could hold the key to the future of this war?
04:57Yes, of course, because the U.S. didn't care about Lebanon.
05:01In fact, only Israel wanted to defeat the Hezbollah.
05:05And the Iranians now are saying that without changing the situation in Lebanon,
05:11there will be no agreement between Iran and the U.S.
05:14But for Israel, the safety of Israel is at stake.
05:21So, it is very difficult.
05:22The agreement inside Lebanon is that Hezbollah must be disarmed.
05:28But Hezbollah is very powerful now in Lebanon.
05:33Okay, General Dominique Trincon, thank you so much for your time this morning
05:37and for joining us here on Europe Today.
05:39Now, moving on, the Commission President has proposed a fresh round of sanctions against Russia,
05:44targeting oil sales, the so-called Shadow Fleet, banks,
05:47and even soldiers involved in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
05:51For the latest, we're joined here on set by our correspondent, Jorge Liberadero,
05:54who's been following the previous 20 packages of sanctions for us.
05:58So, you're quite an expert, I must say, on the topic.
06:00So, tell us, what are the new elements in this package?
06:03There's a lot of continuation in this package, right?
06:05Because one of the main elements is the price cap on Russian oil.
06:09We know it, it's been there since 2022.
06:11What happened with the price cap is rather funny,
06:14because last year, we made the cap dynamic to reflect the market trends.
06:19So, because the price of Russian oil was going down, the price cap went down as well.
06:24But this year is the opposite.
06:26What happened with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz,
06:29the price of Russian oil drastically went up.
06:32So, now we're staring at a review that will go upwards instead of downwards with the cap.
06:38So, what the commission has proposed is to delay this review completely until January next year.
06:43So, the price cap will stay at what it is now, which is $44 per barrel.
06:48Now, besides the cap, what do we have in this package?
06:51We have shadow fleet vessels, we have Russian banks, we have cryptocurrency firms that have been accused of enabling circumvention.
06:59We have, for the first time, fisheries.
07:01We have several metals that are used for weapons.
07:04We do not have alumina, which is the raw material that Ireland is accused of providing to Russia.
07:11And we also have, which is very interesting, very striking element in this proposal,
07:17a ban on soldiers who have taken part in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
07:22And this is how Ursula von der Leyen yesterday justified the measure.
07:26We propose for the first time to ban from entry into the European Union anyone who has served in the
07:37Russian armed forces
07:38since the beginning of the war.
07:40So, Europe stays off-limit for anyone who has participated in the invasion of Ukraine, as simple as that.
07:49Quite an interesting proposal there, Jorge.
07:51Where did this come from and is it feasible?
07:53The proposal to ban Russian soldiers from the Schengen area came from Estonia.
07:59They put it on the table earlier this year.
08:01At first, it was just them, but then it gradually gained support from other member states
08:06because they are concerned about the security risks that these soldiers could pose
08:10if they come to Europe after the war is over.
08:13So, now the Commission has endorsed the proposal, has put it there in the 21st package of sanctions.
08:18But there are many questions because we're talking about an enormous amount of people.
08:22I was just checking the numbers and there's an estimated half a million, 600,000 soldiers in Ukraine,
08:29you know, deployed there from Russia.
08:31So, how do we ban so many people?
08:34Well, first of all, we need to identify them.
08:36Who are they?
08:36Where are they?
08:37Where do they come from?
08:38And then once we have these identities put in place,
08:41we can establish a system to systematically deny them entry into the Schengen area.
08:45So, let's see how this proposal actually works in practice.
08:49What are the feasibilities, the technicalities?
08:52But the goal is to have the sanctions approved by mid-July.
08:55Okay, Jorge, thank you so much for that update.
08:57And you can read more, of course, about all those technicalities on euronews.com.
09:01But now, in a major blow to the French President Emmanuel Macron,
09:05France and Germany have shelved a project to jointly build a next-generation fighter jet.
09:10The project was seen as a key test of European efforts to work more closely together on defence.
09:16For more, we can go straight to Berlin and bring in our correspondent, Laura Fleischmann.
09:20Good morning, Laura.
09:21Just tell us what happened with this project.
09:23Why did it fall apart?
09:27Good morning to you, too, Maeve.
09:30And, well, the German Airbus and France's Dassault Aviation have come to an end of their talks
09:37about a potential EFKAS project working together on a next-generation fighter jet
09:42because they couldn't agree on how to work together.
09:45Apparently, Dassault tried to take on a leadership role,
09:48tried to take a bigger share of the work, and Airbus was not too happy with that.
09:53Also, there were disagreements regarding potential patent rights on new developments
09:58and problems with different military requirements by France and by Germany.
10:03France needs a nuclear-capable jet and one that can also land on aircraft carriers.
10:09And Germany is not a nuclear power and also does not have an aircraft carrier,
10:13so this was not on top of the list for Germany.
10:16And this now is a serious blow to Europe's defence,
10:19and that especially during challenging times in terms of security,
10:24looking at Ukraine, looking at the tense transatlantic relations currently.
10:29But potentially a new next-generation fighter jet might not be completely off the table
10:34since Airbus has now proposed to the German defence ministry
10:37that there could be a new next-generation fighter jet
10:40in cooperation with other companies, but this time without France.
10:44OK, Laura Fleischmann, thank you so much for that live update there from Berlin.
10:49Now, the European Commission has reacted to a controversial luxury development project
10:53on Albania's coast that's linked to the US President Donald Trump's family.
10:57The plans, as you might have seen, have sparked protests that are now in their second week.
11:02They're called the Flamingo Revolution because the wetland is home to flamingos,
11:06seals and sea turtle nesting sites.
11:08But Eddie Rama, who's on the path towards EU membership, says they could modernise Albania.
11:13For more, I'm joined here in the studio by our correspondent, Marete Gwynne.
11:16Just remind us, Marete, why is this making waves,
11:19and what exactly is this luxury tourism development?
11:21So as you said there, Maeve, this is a luxury real estate project
11:25that would see over 1.4 billion euros invested into building tourism sites
11:33on some of Albania's most protected ecological areas,
11:36home to endangered species, as you mentioned there.
11:40And the investor firm, which is called Affinity Partners,
11:44behind this is actually headed by Jared Kushner,
11:48who is, of course, the son-in-law of President Trump.
11:50His wife, Ivanka Trump, actually spoke about
11:53how the seed of this idea was first planted last week.
11:58She told a US podcast show,
12:00we were on a friend's boat and we stopped for a swim.
12:03Effectively, that's how we found it.
12:05We swam to the island, we went on a hike, barefoot all the way to the top,
12:10and we were just captivated, she said.
12:12She's referring there to Sazan Islands,
12:14one of the sites of this development project.
12:17And it's in the Adriatic coast off Albania,
12:21a sea off Albania's coast.
12:22And essentially, this has really touched on a nerve
12:25in the Albanian national conscience
12:26because of the ecologically protected nature of these sites,
12:30but also because there's a fear that this is about cultural identity,
12:33about national sovereignty,
12:35that billionaires can essentially snap up parts of the Albanian coast.
12:39And that's why, Maeve, we've seen these really fierce protests now
12:42in their second week.
12:43And, of course, Brussels has weighed in.
12:45How has the European Commission been reacting to all this?
12:47Well, yes, they weighed in yesterday.
12:49I asked a question to the European Commission.
12:51I asked if they were assessing these plans' compatibility
12:54with EU environmental rules.
12:56Because, remember, Albania is a candidate country.
12:59It's considered a front-runner, second in line after Montenegro to join the bloc.
13:03And to do that, it has aligned with the EU's stringent rules
13:06on environmental protection.
13:08I asked this, and this is what a spokesperson for the Commission had to say.
13:12We have already expressed concerns with the Minister of the Environment
13:16about the potential shortcomings of this project.
13:20Finally, let me stress that Albania should refrain from action
13:25that could undermine the fulfilment of the closing benchmark,
13:29and we expect the Albanian authorities to act without delay.
13:33So, Brussels are not yet saying explicitly that this is in breach of their rules,
13:38but a clearly veiled warning there.
13:40The Commission calling on the Albanian authorities to act without delay.
13:44And finally, Maeve, I think we'll hear more from this,
13:47because the Commission also said that they had already concerns
13:50about Albanian laws and strategic investments,
13:53that they essentially allow billionaires to evade some of the rules
13:57on scrutiny and so on.
13:58And now pressure is really building on Eddie Rama.
14:01He's been defending these plans, really doubling down.
14:04But as these protests continue, and with concerns clearly being expressed
14:07from Brussels, I think there's going to be increasing
14:09pressure on him.
14:11Certainly a story that everyone is watching.
14:13Mary Gwynne-Jones, thank you so much there for your reporting.
14:16And now moving on, as the European Union seeks to shield its market
14:19from a surge of low-cost Chinese imports,
14:22Chinese companies are advertising ways to circumvent the bloc's tariff barriers.
14:26According to an exclusive story by our trade reporter, Peggy Corlan,
14:30several EU countries have alerted the European Commission of new,
14:33increasingly blurred and complex actions.
14:36That's all to avoid paying.
14:37These duties for more.
14:39Our very own Peggy Corlan is here with us in the studio.
14:42Tell us more about your reporting.
14:43Hi, Maeve.
14:44Let me explain first what the situation is.
14:46The EU is currently facing massive flood of Chinese cheap imports over capacities,
14:52which are threatening to sweep away entire sectors of the EU industry,
14:56such as the car industry, the steel industry, or the chemicals.
15:01And to defend themselves, European producers lodge more and more complaints
15:05to the European Commission, asking the Commission to impose what is called
15:09anti-dumping duties, which hit products which are sold on the EU market
15:14at a price below the Chinese market.
15:16These are extra tariff.
15:17And what I've found is that some Chinese companies openly advertise online
15:22ways to bypass these tariffs.
15:25And how?
15:25What tactics are they using?
15:27Well, they promote online in social media,
15:29in LinkedIn posts that we have found and published.
15:31They promote ways, for instance, to use transshipments through so-called
15:36gateway countries, which are countries not hit by EU tariffs,
15:41like Southeast Asian countries, Indonesia, Malaysia, or Vietnam,
15:45where they pretend that the product has been produced, which is not the case.
15:49It has been made in China at 100%.
15:52And they offer a fake certificate of origins.
15:55And for instance, and you have another way, which is to slightly change the product
15:59so that the custom code is changed and they avoid the duties.
16:03And for that, I found that a specific product, which is strategic for the airspace industry
16:09and the green energy, which is a chemical called titanium dioxide,
16:14some Chinese companies offer products made at 80% of titanium dioxide and at 100%
16:21to avoid duties which have been imposed in 2025 by the European Commission.
16:27OK, Peggy Corlan, thank you so much for that update.
16:30And another story, of course, that will be keeping our Peggy Corlan busy today
16:33is the EU-South Korean summit taking place this afternoon.
16:37Trade, of course, very much on the agenda, but also deepening defence ties.
16:41Our Jakob Janis takes a closer look.
16:45How's your Wednesday?
16:46Because today, European leaders Antonio Costa and Ursula von der Leyen
16:50are hosting South Korean President Lee Jae-myung for the EU-Republic of Korea summit.
16:56Meanwhile, their northern neighbours in Pyongyang have a busy schedule hosting China.
17:01Look, your reporter won't cover every single summit here, but this one matters.
17:06And if anyone asks why the EU quarter is buzzing, let the president explain.
17:10Oh, I'm preparing for the EU-Korea summit next week, listen.
17:16Indeed, but our partnership and friendship with Korea is not only about K-pop, it's much, much more.
17:23All right, so if it is not just about K-pop, what is it about then?
17:28The big news is a newly finalised digital trade agreement,
17:31which sets binding rules for data flows and e-commerce.
17:35But the real driver here is defence and geopolitics.
17:38And following a security pact, which was signed two years ago,
17:42the EU is rapidly fortifying ties across the Indo-Pacific.
17:46And amid rising tensions, some EU politicians are even pitching
17:50a NATO-style economic deterrence pact with Seoul
17:53to block trade cohesion from Washington or Beijing.
17:56And we are not talking about pocket money here.
17:59Total trade topped over 120 billion euros last year.
18:03Huh, it's a busy two-way street.
18:05Europe mainly sends over factory machinery and chemical products.
18:10But in return, Europeans buy a huge number of South Korean cars,
18:14microchips and home electronics.
18:17And South Korea is a tech powerhouse,
18:19spending nearly 5% of its GDP on research.
18:23Which, by the way, is more than double the European average.
18:26Their microchips and batteries power Europe's everyday economy,
18:30backed by heavy Korean investments inside Germany, Poland and Hungary.
18:34And Europeans are rapidly entering an era
18:37where international security is just as much about safeguarding microchip supplies
18:42and electric vehicle batteries
18:44as it is about traditional military firepower.
18:47But look, if you are still not sold
18:49on the high-stakes world of semiconductor defence,
18:53there's always the K-pop left for you.
18:59And that was, of course, our Jakob Janis reporting for us there.
19:02Let us know how you feel about either K-pop
19:04or the EU-South Korea summit.
19:06You can write to us at europetoday at euronews.com.
19:09But that does bring this edition to an end.
19:12Thank you so much for your company, as always,
19:14and see you soon here on Euronews.
19:17We'll be right back.
19:45We'll be right back.
19:56We'll be right back.
20:02Grazie a tutti
