00:13Good morning, it is Tuesday the 15th of September. I'm Maeve McMahon and this is Europe Today,
00:21your daily dose of European news and analysis, live here on Euronews.
00:25Coming up, tech stocks across Europe have fallen sharply after global AI leaders called for a
00:32slowdown in the pace of AI. After a former anthropic researcher warned that AI could
00:39ultimately threaten humanity, Brussels is reiterating the need for global rules on AI.
00:45We'll speak to the leading EU lawmaker, Berando Benefey, in Strasbourg. This as Brussels is
00:51stepping up its efforts to protect children online. The European Commission is set to unveil
00:56its EU Kids Act this week with plans that could force platforms like TikTok and Instagram to create
01:04safer accounts for younger users. It's part of a wider push to limit social media access for under
01:1015s. We'll head over to Strasbourg and speak to the European Commission Vice President,
01:15Roxana Minsatu. Meanwhile, growing concerns over oil supplies to Europe and Asia. Saudi Arabia has
01:23shut a key oil pipeline following attacks, threatening a major route for exports to global markets.
01:30We'll bring you to Doha for an update from our correspondent, Adil Haleem.
01:34Meanwhile, France is pushing for EU countries to lift sanctions on one Uzbek-Russian oligarch
01:41as part of a prisoner release with Azerbaijan. The move is holding up EU efforts to renew restrictions
01:47against 2,600 people and companies for their role in Putin's war against Ukraine.
01:53This news comes just as the EU Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, is getting ready to deliver her
01:59annual State of the Union speech tomorrow in Strasbourg. For more on this, I'm joined here
02:04on set by our political correspondent, Jorge Liberero, to discuss a little bit the hype and the
02:09very high expectations. Jorge, you know why this speech is important because you're here in the
02:14Brussels bubble, but tell our viewers why it is. Well, I think it's important by default because
02:18it's the only big EU speech that we have every year. So the tradition began in 2010, so relatively
02:25new to improve relations between the European Commission and the European Parliament. So it
02:30happens in mid-September. This is the start of the legislative cycle. The European Commission
02:35President goes to Strasbourg, addresses the Parliament and basically sets the agenda for
02:40the next 12 months. So the speech is known for its duration, about one hour, and also its scope
02:46because it covers multiple topics. It's a combination of announcements, new ideas and also reflections on
02:53the state of Europe, our challenges, the direction we're going. And what topics should we look out for?
02:59I guess this sanction story will feature as well. I think this one for sure. I think support for Ukraine,
03:04sanctions on Russia will be high on the speech because we know, I mean, there's a new escalation
03:09that Russia is launching against Ukraine. The situation is very dire on the ground. We can also
03:14expect things about reforming the enlargement process. We can expect defence readiness after
03:21the strain of hybrid attacks we have seen across Europe, many of them attributed to Russia. And we can
03:26also see other topics, for instance, the social media restrictions for children that you mentioned at the
03:31beginning. We can expect, for instance, climate action after the devastating wildfires and the
03:36record-breaking heatwaves that we had this summer. We can expect migration to be there in the speech
03:42after the Theuta border crisis. And of course, China, because we know there's a deadline looming in
03:48October to really rebalance the straight relations. And I have to say there will be a section specially
03:54dedicated to our relations with Canada. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will be there in
03:59Strasbourg watching von der Leyen give this speech.
04:01And he'll be speaking then on Thursday, won't he? But I mean, many say this is the most important
04:05speech of her mandate. There's so much at stake for her. And of course, there's elections,
04:09major elections coming up in the next eight months.
04:11Indeed, there are major elections coming up. And it's possible by that the time that she gives her next
04:17speech next year in Strasbourg, the political constellation around her will be completely different,
04:22profoundly changed, perhaps. Especially everybody's keeping an eye on France, where the far right is
04:29polling first ahead of the presidential elections. And let me tell you, Maeve, the European Union has
04:35never seen a far right France. We don't know what a far right France can do, can say, and how
04:40much it
04:40can paralyze our political project of integration. So if I were von der Leyen, I would make the most of
04:47my
04:48time now before the window of opportunity closes suddenly next year. So keep an eye out,
04:54because this is a big, important moment for her.
04:57Well, and it's a very important moment, of course, for Euronews. And it's worth pointing out to our
05:01viewers that we will be bringing you a longer edition of Europe Today tomorrow morning from
05:058 to 10. We'll be live in Strasbourg alongside our very own Maria Tadeo with non-stop interviews and
05:11bringing you that live speech of Ursula von der Leyen. So do not miss that. But now to get a
05:16bit of the mood
05:16ahead of that much anticipated speech, we can head off to Strasbourg and bring in the Executive
05:21Vice President of the European Commission, that's Roxana Minsatu, who's responsible, of course,
05:26for social rights, skills and jobs. Good morning, Vice President. Thank you so much for joining us
05:32here live on Europe Today. Just tell us, what are you looking out for in this State of the Union
05:37speech tomorrow. So we're joined from Strasbourg by Roxana Minsatu. That is the Executive Vice
05:51President of the European Commission. We seem to be having a little bit of a technical glitch
05:55trying to cross over to her. But I'm still here with Jorge in our studio, who can give us more
06:01of a
06:01teaser of that speech that's coming up tomorrow. I mean, as you said, Canada will feature greatly. And
06:07there was a bit of a confusion over whether or not as well Ursula von der Leyen will be sticking
06:11around
06:11in order to watch the speech by Justin Trudeau, which will come, or Mark Carney even, which will come on
06:17Thursday. Yes, indeed. Initially, the spokesperson of Ursula von der Leyen said that she will not stay for
06:22his speech on Thursday. But then after the backlash, you know, they changed the line. And now she is
06:28indeed staying for his speech. So I think this is reciprocity. It is indeed. And of course,
06:33we can head back now to Strasbourg. That is, of course, where the action is and bring in Roxana
06:38Minsatu. Commissioner, excuse me there for the technical glitch. Just tell us, what should we
06:43be looking out for in that speech tomorrow? Good morning. Well, as usual, the President will take
06:53stock of our progress in the past year. We have had so many challenges to deal with,
06:59from cost of living to our energy security, our competitiveness, looking overall at the security
07:06landscape here in Europe and the support that we give to Ukraine, looking at children's safety
07:12online. So we can expect to look at the steps that we have done as Commission and what we plan
07:19next for
07:20for the incoming year. And it will for sure be an inspirational message, one that will speak
07:28directly to each of the 450 million Europeans that will be, I hope, a lot of them listening to the
07:35State of the Union speech. Well, that's a good point, because often this is a very policy-heavy speech,
07:40not really focused on the millions of Europeans. But of course, we'll have to tune in tomorrow to have
07:45a listen. But today, of course, you're presenting the much anticipated Fair Labour Mobility Package
07:50Commissioner. That's the biggest proposal of your mandate. Can you just tell us in practical terms,
07:55what will change for European workers here?
08:01Yeah, it's a game changer. I expect looking at a simple sentence that wherever you choose to travel
08:09in Europe, to study in Europe, to work in Europe, your social rights and your skills and your
08:15qualifications can travel with you. And that's the cornerstone of the single market, but also of the
08:20European social model. What we have seen in practice for decades in Europe and at the same time
08:27now as we speak, is that maybe in order to get your professional qualifications recognized,
08:33when you move from your home state to another EU state, you have to make a lot of trips to
08:39different
08:39institutions. You have to wait for months, sometimes more than a year before you can
08:44get into a profession. Even though you have the training, you have to pay for that. It's also very
08:50complicated for employers, especially SMEs, to get the talent that they need. I have met so many
08:58talented people that, you know, have wasted simply their skills, their training for months, for years,
09:04that have worked in underqualified jobs because they couldn't get their skills recognized.
09:11So what we will do with this package is include digital AI, common frameworks through legislation,
09:19through regulations and directives. This will be a strongly legislative package so that we will
09:25make it faster and easier for EU nationals to have their diplomas recognized. We are looking at
09:32actually moving everything that we can into an app with all the technical background that is needed,
09:39but we're also going to look at social rights. So workers that are posted, workers that are working
09:46cross-border or that have moved from the host state, they need to have a safe digital social security
09:55pass. And we are actually going to present what it will be all about.
10:00Okay, we'll keep a very close eye on that package. Executive Vice President Roxana Minsati, thank you
10:05so much for joining us this morning on Europe Today there from Strasbourg. Now moving on, the US
10:10President Donald Trump has claimed that Ukraine and Russia have promised to stop strikes on energy
10:15targets as fuel prices continue to spike across the world. This comes after a weekend of Russian
10:21attacks that even struck a Ukrainian gas station just by the Polish border. For more, we're joined
10:26now here on set by our very own Sasha Vakilina. Good morning, Sasha. So just tell us what exactly
10:31has President Donald Trump said and does, do his words really carry weight?
10:36Well, they do certainly, but they did come as a surprise, not only to those who are covering the
10:39situation as journalists covering and following Russia's work against Ukraine, but even to the
10:43Ukrainian officials maybe, for whom that statement came in as a surprise, because for them,
10:47there was a rather idea, proposal on the table, but not at all a done deal when President Donald
10:53Trump said that the deal is done. And he posted on his social media on Truth Social, Ukraine has
10:59agreed not to hit Russian energy targets. Russia has agreed to do likewise. The world's diesel price
11:05rise is mostly caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, not Iran. I think it's fair to say that, you know,
11:11it came as a surprise to everybody. Whilst it was interesting to watch how it was taken
11:15and commented upon in Moscow with Russian officials saying that it was Ukraine promised
11:21not to target Russia's energy site, but there was not a single word about whether Moscow agreed to
11:26do the same. And how significant would it be if Ukraine did stop striking Russia's energy
11:31infrastructure and, of course, vice versa? Would be very significant indeed. This is something that
11:35Ukraine has been offering for months, this so-called energy truce. Now, it's important to differentiate
11:41the different strategies. Russia is targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure, civilian energy
11:46infrastructure, trying to put pressure on the Ukrainian population specifically and to force
11:51Ukraine into surrender. When it comes to Ukraine, Ukraine's strikes on specifically Russia's oil
11:57facilities have a different aim. They are there to stop the money-making machine, the oil industry
12:04that is financing Russia's war against Ukraine. And those attacks had huge effect. Recognized also,
12:09according to Romanian presidents, our colleagues by Euronews Romania spoke exclusively to the president
12:15of the country, Niku Shordan, who spoke about that. Maybe let's take a listen.
12:22What we know for sure right now is that Russia's economy is suffering. And we also know that the
12:29Ukrainians managed to strike in depth, to hit logistics centers and refineries.
12:46The fact that, again, we are at a time when the society in the Russian Federation is feeling the
12:53effects of the war. This is new compared to a year ago. On the front line, things are almost unchanged,
12:59because drone technology makes any kind of territorial advance very expensive.
13:18But we do not see. In these conditions, we do not really see Russia's willingness to come to the negotiating
13:25table. So, therefore, we must be prepared for this war to continue for at least a year or two.
13:39Energy truce, therefore, may, would have a huge effect. But at the same time, it doesn't mean that Russia would
13:44stop attacking Ukrainian civilian infrastructure,
13:46like the Ukrainian railways and the train that was attacked on Sunday morning, two kilometers close to the Polish border.
13:53The train that is always packed, the train that you and I know so well when you travel to Ukraine.
13:57And this remains one of those very, very few ways of traveling to and from Ukraine.
14:01Okay, Sasha, Vakalina, thank you so much for that update there. And we can move on now to the Middle
14:07East, where a series of attacks carried out by Yemen's Houthis using ballistic missiles and drones wounded over a dozen
14:14civilians in southern Saudi Arabia.
14:16This is the Pentagon says they're facing a shortfall in ammunition as a result of the Qasi war in Iran
14:22for the impact on how the latest unrest is impacting our pockets.
14:25We can head over now to Doha, where our Adel Khalim is standing by for us.
14:29Good morning, Adel. So, look, we're seeing pressure on three critical energy routes at the same time.
14:34Just tell us, how serious is the situation and what does it mean for Europe?
14:41Maeve, it's very serious because these three pressure points are all connected.
14:44And we may be seeing the formation of a perfect storm for global energy markets.
14:48You have the Strait of Hormuz on one side of the Arabian Peninsula, which is already extremely difficult for shipping.
14:54Saudi Arabia has an alternative, the East-West Pipeline, which allows oil to move across the country through the Red
14:59Sea, avoiding the Hormuz altogether.
15:01But that is now shut due to recent drone attacks.
15:04And we now understand it could take three to five weeks for it to repair.
15:06And that's significant because it was pumping out four million barrels of oil per day.
15:10And then on the other side, you have the Bab al-Mendab, the gateway from the Red Sea to the
15:15Indian Ocean.
15:16The Houthis have been advancing there, taking two strategic islands.
15:20So, essentially, the main route, the main alternative, and the Red Sea are all under pressure at the same time.
15:25And Europe is clearly concerned.
15:27European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has condemned the attack on Saudi Arabia.
15:30And she said, we will continue working with our partners for safe, free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and
15:36for stability in the Middle East.
15:37We all have a stake in this.
15:39Now, oil prices rose 2% on Monday.
15:41And if this continues, Maeve, that can eventually filter through to fuel prices, transport costs, and inflation.
15:49Okay, Adele, Halim, thank you so much for that live broadcast there from Doha.
15:53Now, moving on, almost one week after a former Anthropic employee said there's more than a 10% chance that
15:59AI could kill us all within a decade,
16:02several of those leading AI companies have raised the voice of alarm.
16:05Open AI and Elon Musk are now open to, quote, slowing down their developments.
16:10For the view from the EU, we can bring in now the Italian MEP, Brando Benefey, who's in Strasbourg this
16:15morning.
16:16Good morning.
16:16Thank you so much for joining us.
16:19Just tell us, what's your view here on these latest comments around the AI tech boom?
16:23Are you worried as a regulator?
16:27I think we need to be worried because these are real risks that exist, the risk of loss of control.
16:34We should not underestimate them.
16:37And also, we should not overestimate them in the sense that we have the technical capabilities to put guardrails, to
16:46slow down the pace in a way that is safe.
16:49We need the political will to do it.
16:52And I want to underline that the European Union already has legislation to actually act in this sense, to investigate
17:02the risks of the most powerful models.
17:05These are the powers that the AI act at the beginning of August this year, so just a few weeks
17:12ago, give as given to the European Commission to actually play a public governance, public safety role on the risks
17:21of the most powerful models of AI.
17:23So we have been leading the effort globally on safety.
17:27And now everybody's talking about it.
17:30Now we need the political will to actually put this in place, to actually work with the powers we have
17:37given the public institutions.
17:39And we need international cooperation.
17:40We need the U.S.
17:41We need China.
17:42We need the European Union to work together.
17:44On U.S., I mean, we heard last night President Donald Trump saying this is a hoax, these latest warnings.
17:50Do you think we really need a – it's time for a global rulebook, one rulebook on AI?
17:57Well, I want to be clear.
18:00We have in a few months a vote in U.S. that will change the political balance.
18:08And I think that President Trump will need to take that into account.
18:12His reactions for now are, we can say, a bit in another direction than the leaders of the main companies,
18:24but also of prominent voices on AI regulation, from academics like Professor Benjo to Senator Sanders that have said it
18:33clearly.
18:34We need a global treaty on this, and I want to insist that the European Union has the power to
18:41lead on that.
18:41I hope that President von der Leyen will say it very clearly during the State of the Union speech, that
18:48we are already paving the way for a safer AI development from the EU side, and we should join forces
18:56for this.
18:56We need global cooperation, and the U.S. has to raise its voice on the global stage.
19:02Okay, well, the role of AI in our lives, of course, here in Europe will feature, I'm sure, a lot
19:07in that State of the Union speech that will be delivered tomorrow in Strasbourg by the European Commission President, Ursula
19:12von der Leyen.
19:13Branden van der Leyen, speaking to us there from Strasbourg, thank you so much for joining us.
