00:13Good morning. It is Wednesday the 10th of June. I'm Maeve McMahan and this is Europe Today,
00:20your news morning show that brings you all the stories driving the day.
00:23Coming up, escalation in the Middle East. Iran has launched a missile attack on a US airbase in
00:30Jordan after President Donald Trump blamed Tehan for the downing of an American Apache helicopter
00:36near the Strait of Hormuz. The attack comes as members of the UN Security Council remain divided
00:42over sanctions linked to Iran's nuclear program. Meanwhile, in southern Lebanon, Israel has carried
00:48out airstrikes that caused a number of deaths and many serious injuries. As locals flee to
00:53safety, Iran has warned of, quote, crushing measures if Israel continues its assault.
00:59And here in Brussels, EU leaders are rolling out the red carpet today for South Korean
01:04President Lee. The EU South Korea summit takes place as part of his 10-day tour of Europe,
01:09which will culminate at the G7 summit in France next week. But first, the US has launched multiple
01:15waves of strikes on Iran in response to a military helicopter crash off the Strait of Hormuz.
01:20Reports say the helicopter went down after colliding with an Iranian drone, but it's not clear whether
01:26the collision was intentional. In a post on social media, Donald Trump says there were two pilots
01:33involved, both safe and uninjured. Nevertheless, the United States must, of necessity, respond to this
01:43attack. Soon after, Iran said no attack would go unanswered and launched retaliatory attacks against a number of
01:50US bases in Beijing. For analysis, we're joined now by General Dominique Trincon, a retired French army
01:56general and former head of France's military mission to the UN in New York, an expert in international
02:02security, peacekeeping operations and military strategy. Good morning, General. Good to have you with us on the
02:06programme.
02:10Now, these latest developments severely threatened the fragile ceasefire, which has seen already many clashes
02:16inside and outside the Strait. From your perspective, how close is the ceasefire to complete collapse?
02:23You need to be careful about what you're calling a ceasefire. It's just a declaration. There is no
02:29agreement, in fact. So the declaration by the US of a ceasefire means that it's up to the US to
02:38decide
02:38if there is a breach or not, because there is no agreement with the Iranians. So we are no longer
02:45at war. We are not yet at peace. We're just in between. And each time there is a problem. Of
02:53course, they use the force. That was the case where after the shutdown of the helicopter and the strike by
03:00the
03:00Iranian and the strike by the U.S. But they declare that they are still at ceasefire.
03:06And how bad could it get? What is the military endgame here, do you think?
03:12Military endgame is difficult. I think it will last very long because the U.S. want to get out from
03:18this trap.
03:21The Iranians don't care if their people are killed. They don't care if there is a real ceasefire, because they've
03:33got now a very powerful government in Iran, because there is no opposition at all. And because of the strike
03:42by the U.S. in Iran is reinforcing the power in Tehran.
03:48And so it can last long. But they want to have an agreement to ease the economic sanction. And of
03:56course, the U.S. are the only one to negotiate with the Iranians, neither the Israeli nor the European, no
04:03one else. And so it's only up to President Trump to show that he has to win something.
04:10And that's the thing. President Trump tends to change his mind every five minutes. Can diplomacy hold at all at
04:16any stage? Have you any hope for a diplomatic end to this?
04:18There will be only a diplomatic end because war will not change anything. We've been at war for three months
04:28now with one very severe war with many strikes and nothing happened in the change.
04:35The country now almost is controlled by the Iranian. So I think that only diplomatic movement can change something. But
04:46it will be very difficult because the Iranians are really in a powerful situation now.
04:51And just finally, your thoughts on Lebanon. Do you think Lebanon could hold the key to the future of this
04:56war?
04:56Yes, of course, because the U.S. didn't care about Lebanon. In fact, only Israel wanted to defeat the Hezbollah
05:05and the Iranian now are saying that without changing the situation in Lebanon, there will be no agreement between Iran
05:13and the U.S.
05:14But for Israel, the safety of Israel is at stake. So it is very difficult. The agreement inside Lebanon is
05:26that Hezbollah must be disarmed. But Hezbollah is very powerful now in Lebanon.
05:34OK, 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, targeting oil sales, the so
05:46-called Shadow Fleet, banks and even soldiers involved in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
05:51For the latest, we're joined here on set by our correspondent, Jorge Lebradero, who's been following the previous 20 packages
05:56of sanctions for us.
05:58So you're quite an expert, I must say, on the topic. So tell us, what are the new elements in
06:02this package?
06:02There's a lot of continuation in this package, right? Because one of the main elements is the price cap on
06:08Russian oil.
06:09We know it. It's been there since 2022. What happened with the price cap is rather funny because last year
06:15we 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. What happened with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the price of Russian
06:30oil 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.
06:49Now, besides the cap, what do we have in this package?
06:51We have shadow fleet vessels. We have Russian banks.
06:54We have cryptocurrency firms that have been accused of enabling circumvention.
06:59We have for the first time fisheries. We 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, a ban on soldiers who have
07:19taken part in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
07:22And this is how Ursula von der Leyen yesterday justified the measure.
07:27We propose for the first time to ban from entry into the European Union anyone who has served in the
07:37Russian armed forces since the beginning of the war.
07:41So 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. Where 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 because they are concerned
08:07about the security risks that these soldiers could pose if 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.
08:17But 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, you know,
08:30deployed there from Russia.
08:31So how do we ban so many people?
08:34Well, first of all, we need to identify them.
08:35Who are they? Where are they? Where do they come from?
08:38And then once we have these identities put in place, we can establish a system to systematically deny them entry
08:44into 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, France and Germany have shelved a project to
09:07jointly 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. Just tell us what happened with this project. Why 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 about a potential
09:39EFKAS project working together on a next-generation fighter jet.
09:42Because they couldn't agree on how to work together, apparently, 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.
09:53But also, 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.
10:08And 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.
10:15And this now is a serious blow to Europe's defence, and that especially during challenging times in terms of security,
10:23looking 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 that 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 on Albania's coast
10:54that'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, seals 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 and what exactly is this luxury tourism development?
11:21So as you said there, Maeve, this is a luxury real estate project that would see over 1.4 billion
11:29euros 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, behind 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 how the seed of this idea was first planted last week.
11:58She told a US podcast show, we 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, and we were
12:10just captivated, she said.
12:12She's referring there to Sazan Islands, one of the sites of this development project.
12:17And it's in the Adriatic coast off Albania, a sea off Albania's coast.
12:22And essentially, this has really touched on a nerve in 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, about 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 in 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.
12:48I asked a question to the European Commission.
12:51I asked if they were assessing these plans' compatibility with EU environmental rules.
12:56Because remember, Albania is a candidate country.
12:59It's considered a frontrunner, second in line after Montenegro to join the bloc.
13:03And to do that, it has aligned with the EU's stringent rules on 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 about the potential shortcomings of this project.
13:20Finally, let me stress that Albania should refrain from action that 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, but a clearly veiled warning
13:39there.
13:40The Commission calling on the Albanian authorities to act without delay.
13:45And finally, Maeve, I think we'll hear more from this.
13:47Because the Commission also said that they had already concerns about Albanian laws and strategic investments.
13:53That they essentially allow billionaires to evade some of the rules on scrutiny and so on.
13:58And now pressure is really building on Eddie Rama. He's been defending these plans, really doubling down.
14:04But as these protests continue, and with concerns clearly being expressed from Brussels, I think there's going to be increasing
14:09pressure 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, as the European Union seeks to shield its market from a surge of low-cost Chinese
14:21imports,
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 increasingly 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,
14:51which 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 to the European Commission,
15:06asking the Commission to impose what is called anti-dumping duties,
15:11which hit products which are sold on the EU market at 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 ways to bypass these tariffs.
15:25And how?
15:25What tactics are they using?
15:27Well, they promote online in social media, in LinkedIn posts that we have found and published.
15:32They promote ways, for instance, to use transshipments through so-called gateway countries,
15:37which 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, 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,
16:06which is strategic for the airspace industry and the green energy,
16:10which is a chemical called titanium dioxide,
16:14some Chinese companies offer products made at 80% of titanium dioxide and not 100%
16:21to avoid duties which have been imposed in 2025 by the European Commission.
16:27Okay.
16:27Peggy 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 Jakub 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?
17:27The 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.
18:06Europe 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.
18:16And 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
18:40safeguarding microchip supplies and 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,
18:52there's always the K-pop left for you.
18:59That 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.
19:45We'll see you soon.
19:47We'll see you soon.
