03:56of the judges in spain i will go through the usual judiciary process of investigation

04:01but there are these leaking show photographs of moroccan police helping these 80 000 people

04:11descending from trucks and going into the spanish frontier i cannot tell you this is true or not

04:17judges will tell us you know and the further investigation but it is clear that and at some

04:23level it seems that morocco was involved in this this is not by the way the first time remember

04:28that in 2021 already the european parliament condemned the spanish government for doing

04:33exactly the same nothing against this kind of test from the moroccan government and there's a lot of

04:40disinformation and misinformation online as well about this episode do you think that there's

04:44israeli bots or russian bots here responsible like pedro sanchez has suggested you know no this is

04:50the usual neighboring relation you know that has happened before at that time in 2021 israel or

04:57united states no one had russia no one had nothing to do it's always the same it's morocco testing

05:03the will of a government in spain to keep the frontier safe for spain and europe of course now

05:11the moment is uh clear uh the spanish government is surrounded by scandals corruption a minister was

05:19condemned for 24 years in jail for corruption the wife of the prime minister his brother are

05:25indicted i mean what else can you ask here you know this is weakness the spanish government is weak

05:32and unfortunately this is also european interests okay antonio lopez estores thank you so much for

05:38joining us this morning and bringing the view from the european people's party on that crisis that's

05:42hit spain but now moving on the eu is on high alert as nato secretary general marco dutta and

05:48security services within eu member states say russia is actively targeting european states with the

05:54intention of striking fear among citizens over their government support of ukraine for more we can bring

06:00in now our correspondent shona murray who's been in dublin for us all week covering these high stake

06:04talks so shona the message really seems to be here to stay vigilant

06:11that's right maeve i mean the context of this of course is that watershed moment last month when

06:16german security authorities intercepted an explosive laden drone at leipzig airport and then this week

06:22we had the german government formally attribute blame to the kremlin so it marks a step up or a

06:29development in the confrontation between europe and the kremlin and with that we have security

06:33organizations in denmark and france saying that the kremlin is actively targeting european

06:40countries with a bid to unravel support for ukraine and also of course cause harm and with that i caught

06:45up with benjamin haddad the french eu affairs minister and i asked him about this threat this is the first

06:53test for european security and we've only accelerated and increased our support for ukraine at the european

07:00level in the last month remember where we were just a year and a half ago after the oval office

07:04meeting between president trump president zelensky vice president vence when many people thought that

07:10europeans would stand aside as ukraine would be forced into capitulation by a deal signed by russia

07:17and the united states on the contrary we've taken ownership of our own security and defense

07:22today the bulk of support for ukraine is provided by europeans i suppose it's very hard to

07:28define the situation we're in now because up until now you've had these sort of below threshold hybrid

07:33attacks but as we heard from mark rutz of the secretary general of nato and kaya kalis

07:37these attacks are becoming much more kinetic much more frequent much more violent and reckless are we

07:43at war with russia well you know it's not war but it's certainly not peace

07:48and this is why we need to continue to increase our effort first to bolster our defense against

07:55these uh hybrid attacks but we would you say though the situation we're in now is let's say vastly

07:59different even the security situation a year ago that we're getting much closer to that confrontation

08:05i think we've known for a long time that we were facing a threat coming from russia and by the

08:10way

08:10we just need to listen to the constant questioning of european security of the european security

08:16architecture coming from the leaders in the kremlin so i think you know the most important

08:21thing is stay calm stay the course continue to invest in our security and defense continue the

08:27support for ukraine continue the the pressure and economic pressure that we're putting on on russia

08:33you can see by the way what's happening on the battlefield with ukrainians showing incredible

08:40ingeniosity and innovation on the battlefield with drones you can see the success of the long-range

08:45strikes they're bringing also the war to russia with the impact that it's having including on

08:51the russian people marine le pen is goes from strength to strength it appears despite the fact

08:56that you know she has a conviction for misuse of funds which something you would imagine voters would

09:02might would be something they would put them off what have you guys done wrong you know i think you

09:07see the rise of the far right and populist everywhere in europe and we should take this with a lot

09:13of

09:13humility and our first responsibility first is to continue to deliver on results but i know

09:19something for sure the french are deeply pro-european the french are proud of the role that their country

09:24is playing on the european stage and marine le pen for a long time has been the candidate of frexit

09:31she's been the candidate of leaving the euro she was the candidate of the alliance with vladimir putin

09:36she's trying to make people forget about all of this and sometimes even says that it never happened

09:40even though we know her stance on the european union for a long time at the same time

09:46they're getting stronger and they did ever so well at the european parliament election i think you know

09:50you have a broader sense of maybe loss of control of in in globalization you have a world that's

09:58changing very rapidly where a lot of the certainties that we had in the 90s and the 2000s are crumbling

10:03you know trade is being weaponized as a tool of pressure you see the rise of china and the

10:11over subsidized over capacities that are coming to our markets are destabilizing our industries you

10:17see our traditional alliances that are being questioned and a war of russian aggression on

10:23on our continent and so when you have all this transformation uncertainties and a lot of

10:29the pillars on which we had built our systems our european union our transatlantic alliance that

10:35are being uh questions yes i think you know these periods of transition paved the way very often for

10:41radical answers i don't think they're the right answer i don't think that in a world where you have

10:45the pressure from china from the u.s the threat coming from russia we would be stronger going alone

10:54meanwhile ukraine's finance minister has warned the country is facing serious budget constraints

10:59the toughest since 2022 when the full-scale war began in an exclusive interview with our europe

11:05editor maria tadeo sergey marchenko urged european finance ministers to quote think outside the box

11:11he revived calls to to use frozen russian assets as ukraine heads into another very harsh winter

11:17we believe that it's fair enough to expect uh envisaging another year of war that ukraine

11:25needs additional sources to finance their needs definitely we in full support of such incentives

11:32we would like all other european countries to join this incentive it's not only sweden but also poland

11:39and other countries but we would like a broader coalition of countries to discuss this issue during

11:44the recent recent months we believe that it's fair enough to expect uh envisaging another year of

11:52war that ukraine needs additional sources to finance their needs and the proposal which we would like to

12:00discuss the possibility to transfer custodian of frozen ashes from belgium to european union it will

12:09help to settle everything and mitigate risk so explain to me how is your plan different compared

12:16to six months ago the plan is definitely different because it creates conditions when it's not

12:24responsibility of benjamin to have any court disputes future disputes with russia so it's totally different

12:34scenario so we don't want this money operates from euro clear side we want this money to be transferred

12:39into the uh some accounts which operates on the european jurisdiction well have you detected

12:46because governments across europe are seeing the cost of this war which they help you finance now

12:51practically alone without the united states is going up that has changed their political calculus it's

12:57better now to tap into russia that rather than to pay out of pocket a european country should think

13:02out of the box and to discuss uh broader sources to finance ukraine needs and moreover from our

13:09side now war uh intensified very quickly so we realized ourselves in totally different reality during

13:17last month uh recent attacks on our logistics uh we see that we will expect a very hard winter before

13:25us

13:26it means that escalations uh means that we should have means to survive this escalations but after

13:33any escalations uh we believe will be good possibility to a peaceful negotiation okay so you're saying the

13:41budget for next year uh including the funding needs will be based on the idea that the world will

13:46continue you also say you're expecting a difficult uh winter also on the front and that will impact the

13:51economy what numbers are you working on from a from a just a macro uh perspective our basic needs

13:57to attract uh foreign financing is the same practically speaking so we are talking about around 50 billion

14:04us dollars per year and what we realize that uncovered financial needs for 2027 is rather big

14:12our estimate is around 32.6 billion us dollars at this at this moment we are finalizing our budget so

14:21and our mission imf mission worked in kiev during these three days we discussed budget with them in in

14:30details and i believe that we have the same estimates of our uncovered needs as them can you confirm to

14:37us

14:37that you will ask the european union to accelerate the payments coming out of the 90 billion euros that

14:43were just approved over christmas uh last year i am not ready to tell you that we need to accelerate

14:49it for a budget needs for 2026 but uh your question is about if we have any risk which can

14:58materialize

14:59in the military field yes i can tell you for 100 percent that our ministry of defense requested additional

15:06uh money to procure a weaponry they requested additional 27 billion us dollar or 23.2 billion euro

15:15this year to be able to procure some uh weaponry to front load some procurement for 2027 so we already

15:24um you know i see some uh uh issues with liquidity we uh envisage liquidity so shortages in our budget

15:35it means that

15:35we can postpone some payments for later because of lack of sufficient liquidity in our budget it means

15:43that we have some consequences some some payments which are not fully related to war okay but the

15:52consequences would be what we didn't we didn't have such a situation started from the beginning of the

15:58war in 2022 we really did suffer a lot we really did feel some lack of sufficient liquidity in our

16:05budget

16:05accounts but uh right now we are really too far near the same scenario we had in 2022 what i

16:14detect

16:15from you this time around is there's a form of uh concern and i've heard you say now multiple times

16:21if

16:21there is no cash we will have to make cuts there could be budget cuts imminent difficult winter just how

16:27worried are you well you know maria i am worried but i prefer to become and concentrated so because

16:36it's not time for war it's time for actions

16:42now moving on to germany where the far right afd party is leading the polls ahead of regional elections

16:49this sunday in saxony anhalt in the east of the country putting friedrich metz governing conservative

16:54cdu under pressure for more on this we can head now straight to magdeburg the capital of the

16:59state of saxony anhalt where our correspondent lara fleischmann is standing by for us just outside

17:04the very saxon state parliament good morning lara just tell us first what is at stake here

17:10and what would an afd government actually look like there good morning to you too and well this

17:17election could truly send shockwaves through german politics this could be the very first far-right

17:23state government since germany was found at the federal republic of germany that is

17:27and well i looked at it at the party's program and it has quite interesting um points in it and

17:34well it says that it won the party demands efforts to put an end to illegal and culturally alien and

17:39anti-native mass migration furthermore launching a major deportation and re-migration campaign is

17:44absolutely necessary is what the party writes there and by winning the afd would also gain significant

17:50influence over education here in saxony anhalt due to the way the german education system is set

17:55up they want to reinstate school exchanges with russia and they also want special classes for refugee

18:01children to show them that they that they stay in germany is only temporary and the top candidate of the

18:07afd ulrich siegmund he also stated that he is potentially open to abolishing the office for the

18:13protection of the constitution here in saxony anhalt it is an institution that is responsible for

18:18monitoring extremist organizations including the local afd branch okay lara so that's the

18:24manifesto but the big question can the afd actually govern in saxony anhalt and what would that mean

18:29for friedrich mertz and for germany as a whole well there's one important piece of vocabulary to

18:36understand here and that is the brandmauer the firewall so far all the german mainstream parties have

18:41refused to cooperate with the afd so this could mean that even if the afd wins the vote they won't

18:47be

18:47necessarily be able to govern but this could also lead to a very difficult coalition puzzle to

18:52solve since all the other parties either don't want to cooperate or they won't be able to form a

18:56majority and there's one more important factor to know or to be aware of that is the five percent

19:01threshold multiple parties are currently struggling with this and this could mean that their votes

19:06won't translate into seats and therefore leading to a majority of seats for the afd even though they

19:12don't have 50 percent or more of the votes and friedrich mertz is currently struggling with

19:17low approval ratings for him this is truly a test on whether his cdu can actually contain the far

19:22right okay lara fleischmann reporting there live from magdeburg on a story that's been closely watched

19:28of course here in brussels but that does bring friday's episode of europe today to an end thank you so
