00:13Good morning, it's Monday the 20th of July and you're watching Europe Today, your morning dose of European news and
00:21analysis here on Euronews.
00:23I'm Maret Quinn and I'll be with you throughout this week. Coming up today, Spain have been crowned World Cup
00:31champions for the second time in their history after defeating Argentina 1-0 in extra time last night.
00:38Barcelona striker Ferran Torres scored the winning goal in the 106th minute against a 10-man Argentina after Enzo Fernández
00:47received a red card.
00:49The Spanish squad will celebrate the victory in Madrid tonight after a night of parting across Spain.
00:55We'll be bringing you the atmosphere from Madrid.
00:59And the US has continued to strike Iran for the ninth consecutive night with another US serviceman killed, this time
01:07in northern Iraq, during the controlled detonation of a downed Iranian drone.
01:12A Kuwaiti power and desalination plant was attacked by Iran for the second time in two days on Sunday, raising
01:20fears of a widening conflict.
01:22We'll have the latest from our correspondent in the Middle East.
01:26And Andy Burnham is set to become the UK's new Prime Minister today, taking over from Keir Starmer.
01:32He's tasked with uniting a fractured party and fending off a growing threat from the far-right Reform UK party
01:40led by Nigel Farage.
01:41Burnham has also vowed to decentralise power away from London.
01:46We'll have more analysis.
01:48But first, this morning, we're taking you straight to Madrid.
01:52A dominant Spanish side was held by Argentina to a goalless draw during 90 minutes of play in last night's
01:59World Cup final.
02:00But despite Argentina's grit and resistance, Spain striker Ferran Torres broke the deadlock in added time with the only goal
02:08of the match.
02:09That was after Argentina's Enzo Fernández was shown the red card in stoppage time.
02:15So let's cross over now to Madrid and to our correspondent, Maria Muñoz, who's standing by for us there.
02:21Maria, good to see you.
02:22What a night for Spain.
02:24Give us a sense of the atmosphere there this morning.
02:29Good morning, Maret, from Spain.
02:31Well, people are still celebrating on the streets.
02:34They are being celebrating all night long.
02:36I was coming to the office this early morning and they were shouting, they were singing.
02:41They are all very happy.
02:43We've seen that Spain has gotten better and better match after match.
02:48They started with a draw against Cape Verde, but then they improved.
02:53They showed they are a collective team, something Luis de la Fuente has insisted on.
02:57They are not just some bright players.
03:00They are not just one single player who is the star.
03:03They are a family.
03:04The same philosophy that made the former national team champions in 2020.
03:12They have shown they have improved against Belgium and against one of the main favorites in this tournament, as it
03:19was France.
03:20Yesterday, there was one team playing football and another one trying to prevent them from playing.
03:26Spain tried to score 20 times.
03:29The result is quite short after all those occasions, more than 20, they had.
03:35We may have witnessed last Messi match with the Argentinian squad.
03:41He was very sad.
03:42We could see him crying.
03:44But what can I say?
03:46We are very happy here.
03:47Yesterday, we were in the fan zone with the fans celebrating our triumph in this World Cup.
03:53Let's take a look.
03:55The match was incredible.
04:03The match was very good, but the referee was very, very Argentinian.
04:12Spectacular, very good, we came all the way from Puerto Rico.
04:15We arrived today to see the game, we wanted to be here, at the heart of it all.
04:19We wanted to watch the game from Spain and see the world champions.
04:23Championes mundiales!
04:29Maria, briefly, we know that there are plans for celebrations in Madrid also later tonight.
04:39yes the team will arrive around 1 p.m to barajas airport then they will go visit the royal family
04:46and then around 6 p.m the real party will start with a bus parade with all the players offering
04:52the trophy to the to the fans they will arrive around 9 p.m to cibeles where the party is
04:58going
04:58to start with concerts and with all the all the happiness they've brought to us from america
05:05okay maria munoz in madrid for us this morning thank you and i'm sure we'll see more of those
05:11celebrations on your news throughout the day but we're moving to the middle east next where the u.s
05:16has carried out the ninth consecutive night of strikes against iran meanwhile iran's revolutionary
05:22guard has vowed not to let a single drop of oil or gas pass through the strait of humus for
05:29more we
05:29can cross over to our correspondent adel halim who's in qatar for us so adel more strikes overnight
05:36and the current spiral of violence is showing no signs of subsiding
05:42good morning marid what yes the conflict continues to escalate the u.s has completed a nine consecutive
05:47night of strikes inside iran targeting military command centers air defense systems and missile
05:52sites meanwhile iran has responded with attacks of its own the uh the air defense systems have been
06:00activated across the gulf with kuwait intercepting drones bahrain sounding sirens and jordan reporting
06:06missile interceptions the u.s has also confirmed a third military death over the weekend a service
06:11member was killed in iraq in what it called a controlled detonation of a downed iranian drone
06:17this follows the deaths of two u.s troops in jordan so despite repeated calls for diplomacy both sides
06:23are continuing to exchange fire and the conflict is spreading across the region marit and adel we
06:29also know power and desalination plants in the gulf are being increasingly targeted how much of a worry
06:35is that in the region absolutely one of the biggest concerns now is that critical infrastructure is
06:44increasingly being caught up in the fighting we've seen allegations of attacks on power uh power plants
06:50and water desalination plants in the gulf those facilities provide drinking water to millions of
06:56people if essential infrastructure becomes a regular target this the consequences extend well beyond the
07:02battlefield and start to affect everyday life we're also seeing the conflict spread geographically
07:06as we've heard it's no longer just about the u.s and iran where jordan bahrain and kuwait have come
07:13under attack that's why countries like qatar and pakistan continue to push for de-escalation and
07:17diplomacy but at the moment the military action is moving much faster than any kind of diplomacy
07:22indeed adel for us in doha thank you so much for bringing us up to speed there now we're moving
07:29to
07:29the uk next where andy burnham the former mayor of manchester will today become prime minister
07:35taking over from sir kia stama burnham is also expected to name his cabinet members today
07:40for more i'm joined live now by tim bale who is a politics professor at queen mary university of
07:47london uh tim really good to have you with us this morning so listen burnham is promising big change the
07:53biggest change in uk politics in 40 years he says um how crucial will his cabinet appointments
07:59now be in setting the tone for his government and ensuring he hits the ground running well i think
08:05you're right to say they will set the tone there's been quite a lot of speculation over the weekend and
08:10indeed the last week particularly about the position of chancellor of the exchequer the key
08:14finance ministerial uh position it looks like it slipped away from andy burnham's key ally ed milliband
08:22who is seen by some to risk spooking the markets to coin that cliche and instead go to shabana
08:29mahmood who is seen to be more on the right of the labour party and probably uh will cause a
08:36few
08:36eruptions uh in in the market that means ed milliband will probably go to foreign secretary
08:41uh but it is absolutely clear that he does have to uh signal a departure from what's gone on before
08:49otherwise in some ways there is no point uh replacing kia starmer with someone else so yes today will be
08:56very important uh you don't get a second chance to create the first impression so everything about
09:01today the choreography and indeed the choreography for the next week i think will be absolutely crucial
09:06you mentioned the importance of the chancellor and this resetting what many would call a broken
09:12economy but he's also prioritizing this push for more devolution or the idea of delegating power to
09:19the regions even creating a number 10 north he says how much of a shift in thinking is this for
09:25a uk
09:26prime minister i'm not sure it's as big a shift as people think actually prime ministers for a long
09:32time whether they be conservative or uh labor have been talking about the over centralization of the
09:39uk and particularly the over centralization of the uk economy even under the conservatives uh you saw
09:46an outpost of the treasury being created in darlington in the northeast of the country so in some
09:52ways i think this is more about mood music than it is necessarily about substance that said obviously
09:59given that uh some of our more peripheral regions uh feel that they have been left out from whatever
10:05growth there has been in the british economy uh it is important that we spread uh the wealth out from
10:11the southeastern london where it is at the moment concentrated and that obviously has a particular
10:17knock-on effect for the kind of jobs that are available in those areas so i think devolution
10:23is important but i don't think it is the magic bullet that some and indeed possibly andy burnham
10:28suggest it is very very briefly tim if i may just to close we're watching intently here from brussels
10:34of course do you expect a big shift in burnham's eu and foreign policy compared to the starmer government
10:42uh very briefly no uh strong support for ukraine trying to handle an erratic us president and trying
10:49to move towards closer relationships with the eu but in some ways unfortunately not really making a big
10:55move on the single market or the customs union there'll just be incremental moves until possibly
10:59the next parliament if burnham gets re-elected okay thank you so much uh for that analysis for us
11:06from london but we're moving on now because last friday the european commission unveiled proposals
11:11aimed at making european banks more competitive it's widely seen as a move to close the gap with
11:17u.s rivals well on friday our correspondent sasha vaculina caught up with the european commissioner
11:22for financial services maria luis albuquerque and started by asking her what impact she hoped the
11:28proposals could have for european citizens and businesses banks are very important in the european
11:35economy they're important for citizens they're important for businesses for financing so we need
11:41them to be efficient and to work well we have found a few problems which need to be addressed and
11:49we have
11:49with this diagnosis also indicated the way forward so it is about making our banking sector better
11:58prepared to support citizens businesses and the europeans ambitions and vision for the future
12:05and what is it the key uh key aspect here when it comes to the europeans to ordinary say we'll
12:10be
12:11focused on this category what is the key people typically go to banks for one of two things either
12:17they need uh to borrow money for a mortgage for whatever objective they should have banks which are
12:26efficient but also competitive so that people can compare different offers and choose the one which is
12:32best but also people save money and put money aside for a rainy day for a pension for whatever reason
12:41and banks are often uh the agents the intermediaries that people go to so the more efficient the banks
12:50are the the more competitive the system is the better will be the offer of such opportunities for
12:57our households wanting to save and invest their money when we look at the world of big powers does europe
13:03need more cross-border mergers meaning probably fewer but bigger european banks and therefore more
13:10consolidation yes we need a few big banks but if we compare the average size of even the bigger european
13:21banks and our competitors who also operate in europe by the way namely american banks the size is
13:29completely different and for some areas of business that scale really matters we have identified the
13:37fragmentation of the banking sector are the the incompleteness of the single market in banking
13:43as the main problem holding us back in terms of competitiveness that is actually the bigger problem we have discovered
13:52this makes it very inefficient this perspective of looking at member states in isolation is actually very costly to the
14:01european economy i think that member states this is they they come from the past where we looked at this
14:08from a national perspective
14:09but i think we have all realized that our true competitors are other blocks so it's europe together with our
14:21other competitors and that requires that change in mindset of course it's difficult it's it's a significant change and there
14:29is a normal resistance to change but i think the fact that there is awareness and the conscience that the
14:36costs of not moving are increasing
14:39i think i think we have now better conditions to deliver on those objectives the report argues that europe's banks
14:45need to take more risk if they are to finance growth and compete globally where do you draw the line
14:53between encouraging certain risk taking and avoiding the mistakes that led to previous financial crisis
15:00it's not banks that it's not banks that need to take more risk it's the whole europe that needs to
15:06have a different approach to risk so because of how we are i don't know also because of cultural elements
15:16but because of some inefficiencies in our system and still the legacy of the previous crisis we focused a lot
15:24on reducing and trying to eliminate risk but if you eliminate risk you eliminate opportunity
15:30we know that risk taking we know that risk taking is indispensable for innovation for economic growth so what we
15:37are talking about here is a recalibration now we need to adjust the parameters of the framework to say that
15:45some more risk taking should be considered in the system as a whole when it comes to financing certain activities
15:54but this is the political discussion how much risk are we comfortable to allow into the system
16:00preserving financial stability because financial stability is a precondition without financial stability nothing else works so we need to find
16:09the right balance what we are talking about here is rebalancing allowing some more risk while preserving financial stability it's
16:17a recalibration it's not going back to the past because we have learned the lessons and we are much better
16:23prepared to manage risk in a sound and prudent manner now
16:31now europol the eu's law enforcement agency has said that online ecosystems are reshaping terrorist threats in a report released
16:40last week the agency also said that violence has become a means of gaining identity and belonging for a number
16:46of perpetrators and that this creates a more complex threat across europe to discuss those findings in more detail i'm
16:53joined now by anna siobri head of the european counterterrorism center at europol
16:59good morning anna great great to have you with us so your report states that the lines between established terrorist
17:05ideologies and other forms of violent extremism are being blurred why is that a reason to be worried
17:14yeah we we need to follow the development and this is also what we have been describing since if we
17:20go back to 10 years since europe experienced the wave of mass casualties and major attacks
17:26and also when european counterterrorism center was created and since that we have done this trend and situation reports to
17:34describe the development of the threat and this year we actually describe that the threat is persistent
17:41it still exists and it still exists and it still exists and it still exists and it's a major threat
17:44against european security
17:45and the development as you say the blurred lines it's because we are seeing in an increasing number of
17:53different ideologies that are diversified ideologies also not only the traditional ones
18:00so you mentioned diversifying ideologies but what would you say based on your analysis is the biggest threat that europeans
18:08should be concerned about right now
18:11we need to understand that the threat is persistent and if you go back to 2025 and look at the
18:18numbers of arrests
18:19you have almost 500 arrests terrorist related arrests in the european union this shows that the threat is persistent
18:27we also see that the major threat comes from jihadism and that's also the most lethal threat but we also
18:35need to understand the development
18:37of these new ideological platforms that are also popping up
18:41finally i want to ask you because the report also points to more lone actor
18:46attacks doesn't that make preventing or addressing the threat almost impossible for law enforcement
18:54yeah that's one of the challenging elements that we are also pointing out because of course if you have a
19:00lone actor using simple methods and that doesn't actually require a lot of preparation but they are
19:09radicalized online and it also uh this provides uh lack of possibility for law enforcement to intervene
19:16in timely manners okay anna siobery for us uh speaking to us from europol thank you so much
19:23for your time this morning but that's all we have time for today i'm afraid thank you so much for
19:28tuning
19:29in we'll be back at the same time same place tomorrow so we hope to see you then in the
19:34meantime take care
19:59um
