00:30Mr. Andy Burnham has unveiled his new cabinet, vowing sweeping political and economic reforms to restore stability in the UK
00:38and tackle the cost of living crisis.
00:41He also held first calls with US President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
00:48We'll have more analysis for you.
00:50Meanwhile, Donald Trump has warned Iran it will pay many times over for the killing of US service members over
00:58the weekend.
00:59Iran's president has meanwhile declared his country is in a, quote, full-scale war as hopes of a return to
01:07negotiations continue to fade.
01:09And in other news, as Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky continues to grapple with fierce protests over the sacking of the
01:18former defense minister,
01:19there are reports that the country's commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Sirsky, could be dismissed imminently as a result of pressure
01:29from the demonstrators.
01:32But first, for our top story this morning, we're crossing to Spain, where the World Cup party shows no signs
01:38of stopping.
01:40Madrid was a sea of red and gold last night as almost two million people lined the streets to welcome
01:46home their World Cup heroes,
01:48with players celebrating on an open-top bus.
01:52Spain's latest World Cup triumph also cements their place as a dominant force in world football.
01:58Their European champions, Olympic champions, are now the first country ever to hold both the men's and women's World Cup
02:05crowns at the same time.
02:07Meanwhile, FIFA has opened an investigation into the Argentine team's post-match conduct.
02:14Midfielder Leandro Paredes was shown a red card after the final whistle after he took a hand to the throat
02:21of Spanish opponent Eric Garcia.
02:24As you can see, some violent scenes on your screens there.
02:27Remember, FIFA is already investigating Argentina over an incident involving a banner with a political message on the Malvinas or
02:35Falkland Islands as well.
02:37For more analysis on all of this, let's now bring in Jorge López Torrezia and Pablo Montaño.
02:43They're both Spanish football journalists.
02:46Great to have you both with us.
02:48Let me come to you first, Jorge.
02:50We get the sense that there's a real collective generational talent in this Spanish team.
02:56Do you think we're entering another decade of Spanish domination?
03:03I mean, there are certain points that allow us to think that way, not only because of that, of, of,
03:09of, after seeing that Spain was the most talented team during the World Cup, but also when you get to
03:13analyze the youth of the, of the players, the, really the whole road that they have to, to, to come.
03:20They've just started their own careers.
03:22So we, there are certain, there are certain points that get us to, to think that way.
03:26This is also going to be a very difficult road because yes, there's also France, there's also Argentina, there are
03:31also other teams.
03:32So we could think that, and I think it's, it's fair to, to, to think that way right after the
03:39World Cup, but I would rather wait and see.
03:41Very careful words there.
03:42Pablo, coming to you next, for you, what is it that made this team click?
03:47Because there's certainly a sense of teamwork here.
03:49And would you say there's something cultural to this Spanish winning streak?
03:55Yeah, I think it's the, the key thing about this Spanish national team is that there's no big stars.
04:03They have really big players.
04:04Lamey Jamal, Rodri Hernandez, Pau Koubarci.
04:08But the difference from all the national teams we saw in the, in the World Cup, like France, that they
04:14had Kylian Mbappé or Argentina.
04:16Same with Lionel Messi.
04:20Spanish biggest star is the whole team because they work like an engine, perfect engine because of the coach, because
04:28of the manager, Luis de la Fuente.
04:30They feel, as the, Luis de la Fuente, the coach says, as a family.
04:35They, they work as a, as a club team during the, during the whole season.
04:41And that's the principal and biggest key that they will fight and they will play for each other, for the
04:46colleague.
04:47And no matter how many minutes they play, they will do and give their best.
04:52And moving on, just to discuss Argentina a little bit, there was a debate before the match, as you've mentioned,
04:59as to whether Spain's teamwork could overcome Messi's sort of individual genius.
05:03He is, after all, said, well, to be by many the greatest in history.
05:07And that was certainly the case.
05:09The Spanish teamwork did triumph at the end.
05:11Jorge, where do you think this game has left Argentine football?
05:16How difficult will it be for this team to come back strong?
05:21I think that the main point now for Argentina is knowing which players are going to still be in the
05:26squad, because for most of them, this was their last dance.
05:29And once they clear which other players are going to be in the new squad, there's this new wave of
05:37young talent captained by Nico Paz, which had a really strong season at Como.
05:42But once we know if this was Messi's last game, not only that, but also Leandro Paredes, Nicolás Otamendi, there
05:50were so many players that feel like this was their last match.
05:56Argentina's game plan throughout this whole World Cup was just trying to make the opponents as uncomfortable as they possibly
06:03could.
06:03And that led them to the final.
06:05They were not strong enough or they didn't have that confidence or that physical edge to top Spain.
06:13But I think there's a little bit more of a road to conquer for Argentina, considering that there's no World
06:21Cup in less than four years.
06:24So the main point now is knowing which players are going to be on that squad and who's going to
06:30be the manager, because Scaloni also said that he doesn't know what the future holds.
06:33Indeed, and we saw a very emotional Scaloni in the recent days as well.
06:37Pablo, I know you're in London and there is also scrutiny over the image of the Argentinian squad sent to
06:44the world from this tournament, including after the England match.
06:47You know, we saw that very political banner regarding the Islas Malvinas, the Falkland Islands, but also, of course, after
06:54the final where we saw quite violent scenes.
06:56We know FIFA now investigating some of the players who seem to be, you know, taking a hand to the
07:02throat to some players of the Spanish squad.
07:05What do you think of this?
07:07Has it cast a shadow over this tournament and kind of has been a sour ending to see that kind
07:13of behaviour at the end?
07:15I believe that there's many English fans that were supporting Spain in the final because what they saw and what
07:26we all saw in the semi-finals against the English national team was really similar to what happened in the
07:33final.
07:35That's why we could read in the newspapers and one of the biggest media in the UK as the Telegraph,
07:44in Times, in BBC, that Argentinian players were told and said about them,
07:50that they were like criminals, that they were about Argentinian felony, thuggery, that they were quite tough because of their
08:00commitment and how they disrespect Spain in their celebration.
08:08And they were so critical and that they didn't know how to lose because as you need to know how
08:16to win.
08:17And I think Spain knew it. Argentina didn't know how to lose.
08:22They were world champions four years ago and we could see some of these ways of being in the Argentinian
08:30players.
08:31And now we saw it again. But losing them, that was the UK media.
08:35It's been so critical and so tough with Argentinian players.
08:39OK, that's all we have time for. I'm afraid I'm sure we could continue speaking about this.
08:44Jorge and Pablo, thank you so much for your time this morning.
08:48To Germany next, where Chancellor Friedrich Merz has signalled he is open to reshuffling his government
08:54as he seeks to fill the vacancy left by his centre-right CDU party's parliamentary leader, Jens Spahn.
09:03Spahn was forced to step down last week.
09:05To explain why and what this all means for the Chancellor, let's bring in Sonja Issel,
09:11our correspondent who's standing by in Berlin for us this morning.
09:15Sonja, great to see you. Talk us through this controversy first.
09:20Why was Jens Spahn forced to step down?
09:25Good morning, Mariette.
09:26Well, it was a fateful weekend for Friedrich Merz and the CDU.
09:31Like you already said, Jens Spahn, the leader of the parliamentary group,
09:34he had to step down due to a scandal.
09:36That scandal being that he recently became a father with his husband through a surrogate in the U.S.
09:43Now, the big problem is surrogacy is illegal in Germany and Jens Spahn is one of the main supporters
09:49that wants this procedure to stay illegal within the country.
09:53Now, the fact that he went to the U.S. to use surrogacy to start his own family
09:58caused a major backlash within the opposition parties, within his own party.
10:04People called him a hypocrite and the pressure just kept on building
10:07until Friedrich Merz in the end had to ask him to step down.
10:12And so, Sonja, what does all of this now mean for Merz and also for the shape of his government?
10:21Well, the pressure is on for Friedrich Merz now.
10:24He has to refill this position as soon as possible
10:27because we have very important state elections in Germany in about two months.
10:32And he already said that he might be open to some drastic steps.
10:36He might be open to reshuffling the whole government just to fill this one position,
10:41which again shows us how important the role of a parliamentary leader really is in Germany.
10:47And there are several names being thrown around at the moment,
10:51one of them being Alexander Dobrindt.
10:53He is the interior minister at the moment.
10:55The other one is Thorsten Frey.
10:57He's the chancellery minister.
10:58So both of them already have a very important role within the government.
11:02And if Merz chooses either of them, he will have to replace them as well.
11:06Like I already said, this whole thing couldn't come at a worse time as well
11:10because we have these very important state elections in September.
11:14And it is now very much a big scandal.
11:19And Friedrich Merz would probably rather focus on these elections
11:22because the CDU is not in a very good position.
11:25If you look at the polls, the far-right AfD,
11:28they are at around 40 percent in some of these states.
11:31The CDU is only at around 20 percent.
11:33So Friedrich Merz would probably rather focus on these elections.
11:37Instead, he is dealing with a major personnel crisis.
11:41OK, Sonia, thank you so much for that analysis for us from Berlin.
11:45And we'll keep an eye out on that developing story here on Euronews.
11:49But now we're heading to the UK,
11:51where Andy Burnham walked through the black door of No. 10 Downing Street yesterday
11:56and delivered his first address to the nation as prime minister.
11:59In that speech, he promised to be a circuit breaker for Britain,
12:03pledging a new political and economic direction
12:06after years of instability.
12:12Britain needs to show the world
12:16that we can regain our stability once again.
12:21And that is our challenge,
12:23to make politics work,
12:25to make it work better.
12:41Burnham also later in the day unveiled his new cabinet.
12:45John Healy, who recently resigned as defence secretary
12:48in protest over defence spending plans,
12:51becomes chancellor of the Exchequer.
12:53West Rieting, who also resigned as Starmer's health secretary,
12:57is also back in government and becomes the new defence secretary.
13:01For more on all of this,
13:03I'm joined now by Professor Tony Travers
13:05from the London School of Economics.
13:07Very good to see you this morning.
13:09First of all, could you just share with us
13:11your view on this new Burnham cabinet?
13:14What does it say about his vision for this next government?
13:20Well, the people he's chosen include
13:23many who have been in this government
13:25since his predecessor, Keir Starmer,
13:28was elected in 2024.
13:30And some of them have a history going back
13:32even to the Tony Blair, Gordon Brown era
13:35of British politics when Labour was in power
13:37up to 2010.
13:38So it's a balance between those with some experience
13:42and bringing in new people,
13:44loyalists really to Andy Byrne
13:46and some of whom have also been
13:48in the Keir Starmer government.
13:50So I don't think it's a tilt particularly to the left,
13:53I mean, or the right within British politics.
13:56What it is, is an attempt to reassure the markets
13:59with the appointment of John Healy,
14:00as you say, the former defence secretary,
14:03as the chancellor of the Exchequer,
14:04that's the UK's finance minister.
14:06And Wes Streeting, who had, as you say,
14:09resigned as the defence secretary
14:11with Ed Miliband as foreign secretary.
14:13So it's recognisable to politicians in Europe
14:15and beyond people they will know,
14:17but in different jobs.
14:19Indeed.
14:20And in terms of the message that Burnham
14:22is now sending to international partners,
14:24including in Europe,
14:25what does it say to them bringing John Healy
14:28into number 11 after he had, of course,
14:31previously resigned in protest
14:33over low defence spending?
14:37Well, clearly he's there to convince the markets
14:41and the bond markets in particular
14:43that a Burnham government
14:45is not going to break the so-called fiscal rules
14:48in the UK.
14:48It's not going to increase borrowing
14:50and do anything that will alarm the money markets.
14:53So I think that's the signal
14:54that's being sent there.
14:56There's a lot of discussion
14:56who would be in this position.
14:59I think beyond that,
15:01what they're trying to do
15:02is to give a bit of a sense
15:04that there'll be more popular changes
15:07that will affect people.
15:08So, for example,
15:09a cut in value-added tax on fuel next winter,
15:13but costed in a way that doesn't,
15:16as I say,
15:16make the markets think this government
15:18will be less fiscally responsible
15:20than its predecessor.
15:21And, Tony,
15:23very little in Burnham's first speech,
15:25really,
15:26on foreign or European policy.
15:28He did have a call
15:29with the European Commission President
15:31Ursula von der Leyen last night,
15:33and they've both vowed
15:35to work towards a summit
15:37on UK-EU relations
15:38later this year.
15:40Do you expect Burnham
15:42to give this reset
15:44with the EU
15:45the same dedication,
15:46the same energy
15:47as Keir Starmer previously did?
15:49Oh, I think he'll probably
15:51give it more energy.
15:52I think more in favour.
15:55When he was mayor
15:55of Greater Manchester,
15:57he made a number of statements
15:59that were much, much closer
16:01or suggesting a much closer relationship
16:03between the UK and the EU
16:05than I think Keir Starmer
16:06was really quite cautious about it,
16:08didn't want to upset
16:09public opinion.
16:10Public opinion has moved on
16:12to some extent.
16:14There's now a majority
16:15polling shows
16:16for a closer relationship
16:18between the UK and the EU.
16:19So it'll be interesting
16:20to see how far
16:22Andy Burnham is prepared to go
16:24and, of course,
16:24how far will the EU
16:25be prepared to go.
16:26It'll be a negotiation.
16:27But I think this signals
16:29a slightly closer relationship
16:30between the UK and the EU
16:33than Keir Starmer
16:34would have wanted.
16:35OK, Professor Tony Travers,
16:38that's all we have time
16:38for this morning.
16:39but thank you so much
16:40for sharing your insights
16:41with us on Europe today.
16:44Now we're moving on again
16:46to Budapest
16:48where there is
16:50a little bit of a reshuffle,
16:51we might say,
16:52there as well.
16:54So yesterday,
16:55just hours after
16:56Prime Minister Peter Maggia
16:58publicly called on
17:00chess icon Judith Polgar
17:02to become the country's
17:03next president,
17:05she politely declined
17:08saying the responsibility
17:09of healing a divided Hungary
17:11was simply too great for her.
17:14An interim president
17:15is now in post
17:16and that's, of course,
17:18after the Orban-appointed
17:19president
17:20previously resigned
17:22that was under pressure
17:23from Prime Minister Maggia
17:24who'd been campaigning
17:25to remove him from office.
17:27Now, I believe we can now
17:29cross over
17:30to our correspondent
17:31Sultan Siposhegi
17:33who is standing by for us
17:35in the Hungarian capital
17:36of Budapest
17:37this morning.
17:38Sultan,
17:39really good to see you.
17:41Maybe tell us first,
17:42what do we know
17:43so far
17:43about this interim president
17:45who's now in post
17:46and when will she
17:47eventually have to be replaced?
17:50Good morning, Yuri.
17:51So, in the Hungarian politics
17:53nothing looks like
17:54as it seems
17:55because it wasn't
17:56actually a resignation
17:57just Tomáš Šujok
17:59the ex-president
18:00realized
18:01that he has
18:02no other choice
18:03than signing
18:04the 17th amendment
18:06of the constitution
18:07so it ended
18:09his term.
18:11The house speaker
18:13automatically
18:14according to the constitution
18:15steps forward
18:16as a president
18:17and Agnes Forshopper's
18:19career is skyrocketing
18:21because just two years ago
18:23he wasn't elected
18:24even to the assembly
18:25of a small
18:26countryside town
18:27she joined
18:29to the TISA party
18:30in 2025
18:31and now
18:32a week ago
18:33she was
18:34a house speaker
18:35and now she is
18:36a president
18:37but just an interim
18:38for 30 days
18:40the government
18:41is searching
18:42another interim
18:45president actually
18:45because they
18:46promised
18:47that
18:48they will
18:48change
18:50and very
