00:14Guten Morgen, es ist Friday, 26 Juni.
00:18Du bist auf Euronews und das ist Europe Today.
00:22Welcome to the program, ich bin Stefan Grobe.
00:25Coming up, Solidarity with Ukraine.
00:28The country has received 3.2 billion euros as the first disbursement under the European Union's 90 billion euro support
00:36loan.
00:37That was announced by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdansk.
00:44The announcement marks a turning point in a six-month political struggle to get the loan off the ground.
00:49We'll have Euronews editor Maria Tadeo reporting from Gdansk.
00:53Conflicting Messages
00:55The head of the United Nations nuclear agency signaled that Iranian nuclear enrichment sites would be visited by their inspectors.
01:03A key component in the interim deal between Washington and Tehran.
01:07But an Iranian diplomat promptly rejected this, saying such a visit can only come after a final deal.
01:14A denial that highlighted the precariousness of the ongoing talks.
01:19We'll speak to a former Iranian negotiator.
01:22Catastrophe in Venezuela.
01:25Following the devastating earthquakes in that South American country, the international community has mobilized to provide urgent humanitarian assistance.
01:34Countries from the Western Hemisphere, the European Union, and even China offered help after two major earthquakes struck west of
01:42Caracas.
01:42The number of victims is still unclear, but could reach hundreds, if not more.
01:48We'll get an update from the EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management, Hadja Labib.
01:54And what happened at the World Cup last night?
01:57I'll fill you in.
01:58But first, the Ukraine Recovery Conference.
02:01Widely viewed as Europe's biggest reconstruction project since World War II, Kiev expects to sign agreements worth more than 1
02:10.5 billion euros during the conference,
02:12with deals expected to include projects in housing, infrastructure and regional recovery efforts.
02:18Needs are estimated at hundreds of billions of euros and span virtually every sector of the economy,
02:26from energy and transportation to defense manufacturing, industrial production, digitalization and urban redevelopment.
02:35New News editor Maria Tadeo is in Gdansk and sends this report.
02:42Well, yes, Stefan, good morning.
02:44And we're here in Poland for the second day of the Ukraine Reconstruction Conference.
02:48This is a conference that's been running now for a number of years, but in 2022 fundamentally changed.
02:54And it became very much a business conference about the reconstruction and the future business opportunities in Ukraine.
03:00The goal of this conference is to bring together investors, foreign capital and get them to put money in Ukraine.
03:07This year, however, far from being just a business conference, has been totally eclipsed by the politics and that diplomatic
03:13spat between Poland and Ukraine.
03:16Just days before the conference started, the Polish President Nawrowski stripped, took away a medal from President Zelensky,
03:23the highest order of merit from Poland, after a military unit in Ukraine was renamed the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.
03:30For the Polish President Nawrowski, he said this was an insult and he had damaged and hurt the memory
03:36from the Second World War of many Poles who were killed by this particular unit.
03:40The President of Ukraine then responded back, saying that this has nothing to do with the Polish people,
03:45also said that many other units had been renamed in this war and suggested that it's being weaponized
03:50for political reasons in Poland, looking into an election next year.
03:54That meant that yesterday, Volodymyr Zelensky did not participate in this conference.
03:58He skipped the opening ceremony.
04:00There was, however, a delegation led by the Prime Minister of Ukraine.
04:05In the meantime, the Prime Minister of this country, Donald Tusk, trying to pacify both sides,
04:09saying that this is really now the moment for both Poland and Ukraine to respect each other and be mutually
04:15respectful.
04:16Nonetheless, beyond the politics, there were announcements.
04:18The European Union announced that it will now pay off about 3 billion euros from the 90 billion euro loan
04:24that Ukraine should receive from EU member states.
04:27And the United Kingdom also announced a package of 290 million pounds, mostly focused on the energy sector.
04:34And to that point, I spoke with David Lammy, the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom,
04:39and I asked him about the future relationship of the UK with the European Union
04:43when it comes to security, defense, G7, and the upcoming NATO meeting.
04:48Let's take a look.
04:51David Lammy, thank you so much for joining us on Euronews.
04:54Today, the UK is announcing a financial contribution to Ukraine, 290 million.
04:58Why make this announcement now?
05:00Is it a reflection that you believe dynamics on the battlefield are changing and Ukraine can still win it?
05:06As you know, the United Kingdom has stood with Ukraine right from the beginning.
05:12And we pledged some time ago that for every year this war continues,
05:16we will be with Ukraine politically, economically, and military.
05:20Our announcement today, of course, comes on the back of successes on the battlefield,
05:27a strong and good G7, which was a strong statement from the United States,
05:31as well as European partners on the situation,
05:35and a desire to support Ukraine until we get that peace.
05:39And, sir, you mentioned the G7.
05:40There was a statement with language that objectively was much stronger than a lot of people believe would end up
05:47in the declaration.
05:48And there's also a form of unanimity now with the United States seemingly also endorsing the language.
05:53Do you get a sense that both the UK and the Europeans,
05:56you've managed to sway the US president?
05:58And now he agrees with you.
06:00Ukraine is in better shape than it seemed at the start of the year.
06:02I think we'll see in NATO in the coming weeks that the United States is seeing Europeans step up
06:08in terms of our commitments to defence and to spend across Europe.
06:14I think we must recognise the progress that we're seeing from Ukraine on the battlefield.
06:19We also see in Russia recession beginning to bite,
06:26a huge casualty loss now of soldiers, well over a million dying.
06:32And so I think we also recognise that this is the moment to keep Ukraine in the fight,
06:37to increase our suppression, if you like, of what the Russians are doing,
06:45and to support Ukraine to the very end.
06:47And you have one of the best intelligence services in the world,
06:49so you would know what those raids on the ground looked like.
06:52But I have to ask you on the sanctions front,
06:54because that was also meaningful coming out of the G7,
06:57the idea that sanctions would get tighter.
06:59There was a concern because of the energy crisis that there could be relief on Russian energy.
07:04Is that changing?
07:05Are you making plans to really go rough again on the sanctions with the rest of the G7?
07:09We're really clear.
07:10We have ramped up our sanctions.
07:12You saw also the interdiction from the UK of the Russian Shadow Fleet just a few weeks ago.
07:20Are six packages sanctions, more to come.
07:24I was very clear when I was Foreign Secretary that we would continue to bear down
07:28on Russian aggression, Russian money, dirty money that's financing this war.
07:34And we're really pleased that our European partners continue to do that as well.
07:39And we have also seen, I think, since the elections in Hungary,
07:43a more united front right across Europe.
07:46Certainly on the sanctions, you mentioned NATO.
07:48The summit is really around the corner.
07:49Can you carry that momentum into Ankara?
07:52Or do you worry?
07:53There's a scenario too in which the president will say,
07:55you didn't really help in Iran.
07:57I'm not going to help any further.
07:59I think that we will see that momentum into Ankara.
08:02And look, I think it is important to recognize that European bases were being used,
08:08certainly here in Poland, in Germany, in the United Kingdom,
08:14to support efforts in the Strait of Hormuz.
08:18We've had the Coalition of the Willing as well,
08:20that the UK and France have sponsored once the war is fully over.
08:26And we've seen demining in the Strait of Hormuz.
08:30So I think for all of those reasons,
08:32I expect to see a successful NATO conference.
08:35So you don't see possible backlash.
08:37And just a final question.
08:38Of course, the UK is now in a moment of transition politically.
08:41There will be a new prime minister.
08:42Is there a concern or was there a message that you gave to your European and Ukrainian allies
08:46that the fundamentals of foreign policy of the United Kingdom will not change
08:50when it comes to security, when it comes to Ukraine?
08:52There's absolutely no question of a change in foreign policy.
08:58We have remained committed to Ukraine through successive governments,
09:03and that will continue.
09:04And we have been absolutely clear, reconnected with the global community,
09:08a European reset.
09:10All of that continues despite...
09:13There's no rupture.
09:14That was your message.
09:15Rupture is not a word that's ever been...
09:17I think that was used by the Canadians.
09:18It's certainly not been used by the UK.
09:20So you will maintain that line.
09:22David Lamey, thank you so much for joining us.
09:23Thank you very much indeed.
09:24Thank you.
09:28Maria Tadeo there reporting from Gdansk.
09:30Thank you very much.
09:31Now, technical talks between the US and Iran are expected to resume in Geneva next week,
09:37designed to reach a permanent deal to end the war.
09:40The negotiations are expected to focus on Iran's nuclear program.
09:45Our correspondent, Merit Gwynn-Jones,
09:47talked to a former spokesman for Iran's nuclear negotiating team,
09:50Syed Hossein Moussavian,
09:52and started by asking him whether the talks are really an opportunity to open a new chapter
09:58in the relationship between the US and Iran.
10:02Whether I see opportunity or not,
10:04I think this is perhaps the most important opportunity Iran and the US they have,
10:11because of two issues.
10:12First issue is that now they are negotiating at a very, very high level,
10:19actually, the second rank of the two countries.
10:23And the second important issue is that they have direct negotiations,
10:28not only on nuclear, but on broader regional issues.
10:33On the nuclear issue specifically, it's likely to become a core issue in these talks.
10:39Do you believe Iranian negotiators will come to the table ready to make compromises with flexibility?
10:45For example, do you believe they'll allow inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency
10:50to come on site immediately on Iranian nuclear sites?
10:54First of all, with JCPOA, Iran practically showed its readiness.
11:02IAEA had full access, and for three years, IAEA repeatedly was able to say Iranian nuclear program is peaceful.
11:11Therefore, Iran already showed such a goodwill.
11:14Now, when you are talking about Iranian giving access to the IAEA, to Iranian nuclear sites,
11:22yes, I believe they will give.
11:24But the problem is not on the Iranian side.
11:27This is for the first time during the history of non-proliferation.
11:32Two nuclear powers, they have attacked a non-nuclear weapon state facilities under the safeguard agreement between Iran and the
11:44IAEA.
11:45The IAEA, the Atomic Energy Agency, does not have any protocol to inspect the bombed nuclear facilities.
11:55I think, first, Iran should agree, I believe they would agree, and then the IAEA would have to have an
12:03official protocol
12:05enabling them to go to visit the bombed nuclear facilities.
12:10There is also a very complex regional picture.
12:14Do you expect Iran to try and tie the fate of Lebanon to this broader deal,
12:21and do you expect the US to be receptive to that?
12:24I think if there is going to be a broad, sustainable deal,
12:29Iran and the US negotiators, they will have to agree on three major issues, regional issues.
12:36One would be between Iran and the US bilateral and regional.
12:40The second should be about Iran and the US-Arab allies in the region,
12:45the Persian Gulf, the stability of energy, the Strait of Hormuz,
12:50about maritime security in the Persian Gulf.
12:53And the third is about Iran and Israel.
12:56I think the US is in good position to be a mediator for Iran and Israel to end decades of
13:06mutual security,
13:08military, existential threats.
13:17And now to the horrifying earthquakes that shook Venezuela yesterday.
13:22More than 10,000 people have been reported missing after the area around the capital Caracas was hit by two
13:28strong horror movie tremors,
13:31as one witness described it.
13:33Experts are predicting the number of people killed will rise.
13:37Residents posted videos of collapsing buildings and screaming survivors ducking for cover.
13:42The international community acted immediately and offered wide-ranging assistance.
13:47For more on this, let's bring in the EU Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management,
13:53Hadja Labib, who joins us from Budapest.
13:56Good morning, Commissioner.
13:57It's great to have you on the show.
14:01Good morning.
14:02Thank you for having me.
14:04Do you have a sense of the magnitude of the disaster yet?
14:08And what is the EU doing to help in terms of money and in terms of manpower?
14:17We have proactively entered in contact with the Venezuelan authorities to propose our humanitarian aid.
14:26You have to know that we are already on the ground with our partners, with our office.
14:30And so we activate our Ecopernicus satellite to assess the magnitude of the damages.
14:37It's still monitoring.
14:39And we were already, with our humanitarian aid, providing 52 million of humanitarian support for only this year.
14:50And, of course, when the back-to-back earthquakes happened, we proposed to step up our humanitarian aid.
14:58Seven countries have already responded with search and rescue team.
15:03So Venezuela activated our solidarity, European solidarity mechanism, which is the civil protection mechanism.
15:12Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany and France proposed search and rescue teams,
15:24mobile telecommunication advices and so on.
15:29So we are already on the ground and many countries are ready to step up.
15:35Commissioner, Venezuela has faced years of economic and political turmoil.
15:39How do those existing vulnerabilities complicate the delivery of humanitarian aid and the assessment of needs on the ground?
15:50Yeah, exactly.
15:52That's the situation that we are facing today in Venezuela.
15:56You have to know that seven, more than seven million people depend on humanitarian aid.
16:02And so the situation was already severe.
16:06And we are monitoring the situation right now and expecting some heavy rains and turmoil.
16:14And that's why we are really on a hurry to save as many lives as we can.
16:22And that's why our first response were search and rescue team, because we need to remove the concrete and to
16:29save as much as life as we can.
16:32In this kind of situation, every minute counts.
16:37But as you rightly say, the situation, the economic situation and humanitarian situation was already dramatic.
16:45All right, EU Commissioner Hadjah Labib on EU assistance for Venezuela.
16:49Thank you so much for your time this morning, madam.
16:53The extreme heat that is baking Europe these days is melting national records.
16:58France and Belgium endured their hottest day since records began.
17:02Britain and Spain hit new records for any day in June.
17:06Experts speak about a heat dome driven furnace for the second time in two months.
17:11Now, heat domes are persistent high pressure systems, which act like a lid on a pot, trapping hot air and
17:19pushing it downward.
17:20How do people cope with the sweltering heat?
17:23Adnan Leal braced the temperatures and looked around in Brussels.
17:27Extreme heat has placed parts of Belgium on red alert.
17:31It's too much warm.
17:33With temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees.
17:35Are you prepared to survive 40 degrees?
17:38In Brussels, the alert is at the second highest level and schools are adapting their activities to cope with the
17:44heat wave.
17:44But how are people outside coping with it?
17:46I bought myself a lighter clothes.
17:49And then trees.
17:50And then we have the fan.
17:51Very nice.
17:52Drinking a lot of water.
17:54Experts say taking small precautions can already make a big difference.
17:58Heat related mortality has gone up 30% in the last 20 years in Europe.
18:02We can reduce that mortality by developing habits and actions at the personal level.
18:09There is a clear need to develop strategies to cope with these extremes.
18:13They have the potential to be pillars.
18:15Temperatures are going up and we continue to go up, given it will be rare to stop emissions tomorrow, which
18:21we are not.
18:21Records break and shouldn't be a break in news because, in a sense, it's a natural consequence of the fact
18:27that the world is warming up.
18:31And now the World Cup with the second final match day of the group stage.
18:43Ecuador stunned already qualified Germany with a 2-1 comeback win to qualify for the knockout stages.
18:49Germany scored after 100 seconds, but then it was game over for the four-time champion.
18:54An eye-popping victory for Ecuador that didn't score a single goal in their first two matches.
19:00In the other game of Group E, Ivory Coast beat Curaçao 2-0 and booked their ticket for the next
19:06round.
19:06In Group F, the Netherlands sealed a comfortable 3-1 victory against Tunisia, cruising to the knockout phase.
19:13Orania's victory means they're facing Morocco on Tuesday, which promises to be a shocker.
19:18For Tunisia, it was time to leave the big stage after a spirited performance in defeat.
19:23In the other game of that group, Japan finished second behind the Netherlands after a 2-2 draw against Sweden,
19:30which scored a second-half stunner to secure a last 32 spot as they came from behind to earn a
19:35point against Japan.
19:37Then in Group D, Turkey against the United States, a game about nothing.
19:41The Turks were already eliminated and Americans already qualified.
19:45Yet Turkey beat the US 3-2, finishing a disappointing World Cup on a somewhat positive note.
19:51And the Americans' dream might be a bit broken as they are back on planet Earth.
19:56Finally, Paraguay versus Australia, 0-0.
20:00Do you have anything else to say on this?
20:02No. Australia advances, Paraguay, maybe.
20:05Six games on the menu tonight and early tomorrow morning.
20:08Among them, the shocker, Norway-France, Eurogray against Spain and New Zealand versus Belgium.
20:14That does it for us today.
20:15Thanks for joining us this morning.
