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.
02:29There is no agreement, in fact.
02:30So 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, because there is no agreement with the Iranians.
02:44So we are no longer at war.
02:46We 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 a 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 because
03:38there is no opposition at all.
03:40And because of the strike by the U.S. in Iran is reinforcing the power in Tehran.
03:47And so it can last long, but they want to have an agreement to ease the economic sanction.
03:56And of course, the U.S. are the only one to negotiate with the Iranians, neither the Israeli nor the
04:02European, 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 and nothing happened in
04:35the change.
04:36The country now almost is controlled by the Iranians.
04:40So I think that only 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, there will be an agreement between Iran
05:13and the U.S.
05:15But 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.
05:33OK, General Dominique Trincon, thank you so much for your time this morning and for joining us here on Europe
05:38Today.
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 and even soldiers involved in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
05:50For the latest, we're joined here on set by our correspondent, Jorge Lebradero,
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.
06:53We have Russian banks.
06:54We 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
07:34anyone who has served in the Russian armed forces since the beginning of the war.
07:40So Europe stays off-limit for anyone who has participated in the invasion of Ukraine,
07:47as 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.
08:03But then it gradually gained support from other member states
08:06because they are concerned about the security risks
08:08that these soldiers could pose if they come to Europe after the war is over.
08:13So now the Commission has endorsed the proposal,
08:15has 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,
08:26600,000 soldiers in Ukraine, you know, deployed there from Russia.
08:31So how do we ban so many people?
08:33Well, first of all, we need to identify them.
08:35Who 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.
08:55OK, 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
10:05and 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,
10:23looking at Ukraine, looking at the tense transatlantic relations currently.
10:28But, 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
11:00that are now in their second week.
11:02They're called the Flamingo Revolution
11:04because the wetland is home to flamingos, seals and sea turtle nesting sites.
11:08But Eddie Rama, who's on the path towards EU membership,
11:11says they could modernise Albania.
11:13For more, I'm joined here in the studio by our correspondent, Mared Gwynne.
11:16Just remind us, Mared, 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 invested
11:30into building tourism sites on 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,
11:47who 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,
12:08barefoot all the way to the top, and 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
12:42now in their second week.
12:43And of course, Brussels has weighed in.
12:45And how has the European Commission been reacting to all this?
12:47Well, yes, they weighed in yesterday.
12:48I 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 frontrunner,
13:00second in line after Montenegro to join the bloc.
13:03And to do that,
13:04has it aligned with the EU's stringent rules
13:06on environmental protection?
13:08I asked this,
13:09and this is what a spokesperson for the Commission had to say.
13:12We have already expressed concerns
13:14with the Minister of the Environment
13:16about the potential shortcomings of this project.
13:20Finally, let me stress
13:22that Albania should refrain from action
13:25that could undermine the fulfilment of the closing benchmark.
13:29And we expect the Albanian authorities
13:31to act without delay.
13:33So, Brussels are not yet saying explicitly
13:35that this is in breach of their rules,
13:37but a clearly veiled warning there.
13:40The Commission calling on the Albanian authorities
13:42to act without delay.
13:44And finally, Maeve,
13:45I think we'll hear more from this.
13:47Because the Commission also said
13:49that they had already concerns
13:50about Albanian laws on strategic investments,
13:53that they essentially allow billionaires
13:55to evade some of the rules on scrutiny and so on.
13:58And now pressure is really building on Eddie Rama.
14:01He's been defending these plans,
14:02really doubling down.
14:04But as these protests continue,
14:06and with concerns clearly being expressed from Brussels,
14:08I think there's going to be increasing pressure on him.
14:11Certainly a story that everyone is watching.
14:13Marguin Jones, thank you so much there for your reporting.
14:16And now moving on,
14:17as the European Union seeks to shield its market
14:19from a surge of low-cost Chinese imports,
14:22Chinese companies are advertising ways
14:23to circumvent the bloc's tariff barriers.
14:26According to an exclusive story
14:28by our trade reporter Peggy Corla,
14:30several EU countries have alerted
14:32the European Commission
14:33of new increasingly blurred and complex actions.
14:36That's all to avoid paying.
14:37These duties for more.
14:39Our very own Peggy Corla is here with us in the studio.
14:41Tell 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
14:49of Chinese cheap imports, overcapacities,
14:52which are threatening to sweep away
14:54entire sectors of the EU industry,
14:56such as the car industry,
14:58the steel industry, or the chemicals.
15:01And to defend themselves,
15:02European producers lodge more and more complaints
15:05to the European Commission,
15:07asking the Commission to impose
15:08what is called anti-dumping duties,
15:10which 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
15:20openly advertise online ways to bypass these tariffs.
15:24And how? What tactics are they using?
15:27Well, they promote online in social media
15:29and link in the posts that we have found and published.
15:31They promote ways, for instance,
15:33to use transshipments through so-called gateway countries,
15:37which are countries not hit by EU tariffs,
15:41like Southeast Asian countries,
15:43Indonesia, Malaysia, or Vietnam,
15:45where they pretend that the product has been produced,
15:48which 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,
15:57which is to slightly change the product
15:59so that the custom code is changed
16:02and they avoid the duties.
16:03And for that, I found that a specific product,
16:06which is strategic for the airspace industry
16:09and the green energy,
16:10which is a chemical called titanium dioxide,
16:14some Chinese companies offer products
16:16made at 80% of titanium dioxide
16:19and at 100% to avoid duties
16:22which have been imposed in 2025
16:25by the European Commission.
16:27Okay, Peggy Corlan,
16:28thank you so much for that update.
16:30And another story, of course,
16:31that will be keeping our Peggy Corlan busy today
16:33is the EU South Korean summit
16:35taking place this afternoon.
16:37Trade, of course, very much on the agenda,
16:39but also deepening defence ties.
16:41Our Jakub Janus takes a closer look.
16:45How's your Wednesday?
16:46Because today, European leaders
16:48Antonio Costa and Ursula von der Leyen
16:50are hosting South Korean president
16:52Lee Jae-myung
16:53for the EU Republic of Korea summit.
16:56Meanwhile, their northern neighbours in Pyongyang
16:59have a busy schedule hosting China.
17:01Look, your reporter won't cover
17:03every single summit here,
17:04but this one matters.
17:06And if anyone asks
17:07why the EU quarter is buzzing,
17:09let the president explain.
17:10Oh, I'm preparing
17:11for the EU-Korea summit next week.
17:13Listen.
17:16Indeed, but our partnership
17:19and friendship with Korea
17:20is not only about K-pop,
17:22it's much, much more.
17:23All right, so if it is not just about K-pop,
17:25what is it about then?
17:28The big news is a newly finalised
17:30digital trade agreement,
17:31which sets binding rules
17:33for data flows and e-commerce.
17:35But the real driver here
17:36is defence and geopolitics.
17:38And following a security pact,
17:40which was signed two years ago,
17:42the EU is rapidly fortifying ties
17:44across the Indo-Pacific.
17:46And amid rising tensions,
17:48some EU politicians are even pitching
17:50a NATO-style economic deterrence pact
17:52with Seoul
17:53to block trade coercion
17:54from Washington or Beijing.
17:56And we are not talking about
17:57pocket money here.
17:59Total trade topped over
18:00120 billion euros last year.
18:03Huh, it's a busy two-way street.
18:05Europe mainly sends over factory machinery
18:08and chemical products.
18:10But in return,
18:11Europeans buy a huge number
18:13of South Korean cars,
18:14microchips and home electronics.
18:17And South Korea is a tech powerhouse,
18:19spending nearly 5% of its GDP
18:21on research.
18:22Which, by the way,
18:24is more than double the European average.
18:26Their microchips and batteries
18:28power Europe's everyday economy,
18:30backed by heavy Korean investments
18:32inside Germany, Poland and Hungary.
18:34And Europeans are rapidly entering an era
18:37where international security
18:39is just as much about
18:40safeguarding microchip supplies
18:42and electric vehicle batteries
18:44as it is about
18:45traditional military firepower.
18:47But look,
18:48if you are still not sold
18:49on the high-stakes world
18:51of semiconductor defense,
18:52there's always the K-pop
18:54left for you.
18:59And that was, of course,
19:00our Jakob Janis reporting
19:01for us there.
19:02Let us know how you feel
19:03about either K-pop
19:04or the EU-South Korea Summit.
19:06You can write to us
19:07at europetoday
19:08at euronews.com.
19:09But that does bring
19:10this edition to an end.
19:11Thank you so much
19:12for your company,
19:13as always,
19:14and see you soon here
19:14on Euronews.
19:15We'll be right back.
19:45We'll be right back.
