01:00After the energy crisis of recent years, consumers are once again facing higher bills,
01:05with the risk that more expensive energy could also push up the price of everyday goods and services.
01:11So what's driving this latest increase?
01:14How serious could the impact be?
01:16And can governments protect consumers without fueling inflation?
01:20We'll speak to an expert.
01:23And Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Washington for a two-day summit with Donald Trump
01:28that looks more focused on pageantry than on long-standing policy feuds.
01:33The state visit will bring together a robust gathering of U.S. corporate leaders,
01:37but no comparable delegation from China, raising questions about the prospects of even any new business.
01:44One topic where Trump and Xi are on the same page, though, is resistance to any AI regulation.
01:52Welcome to the program. I'm Stefan Grobe.
01:54Let's start with the space summit in Brussels.
01:57More EU member states are engaging with Palantir,
02:00the American software company that builds enterprise data integration,
02:05analytics and artificial intelligence platforms for government and commercial clients.
02:10But there are concerns about the questionable ethics of organizations like Palantir.
02:15Its manifesto details, among other things, its support for state surveillance and predictions
02:20and plans for a future dominated by autonomous weapons.
02:25Our correspondent Shona Murray joins me now.
02:28Good morning, Shona.
02:30So is this company, Palantir, becoming part of European industry?
02:36Well, that's a key question.
02:37I mean, we know as Europe is spending billions on defense and sort of independent security architecture
02:42that AI will form part of that.
02:44So the question around AI and groups like Palantir is how ethical they are,
02:48whether they apply the rules of international humanitarian law, civil rights laws and so on.
02:53And groups like Palantir have been condemned and criticized by Amnesty International, for example,
02:57for the work they do with state surveillance and groups like ICE.
03:00So there are concerns there.
03:02But as we heard from Andreas Kobilius, the European Commissioner for Defense,
03:06he's saying that they're a perfectly legitimate company.
03:08And some European countries are engaging with them, like Lithuania, like Poland.
03:13But other countries like Spain, for example, the Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez,
03:17has outlawed any public companies using Palantir.
03:20So take a listen to this interview with Andreas Kobilius, the EU Defense Commissioner,
03:24with our colleague Angela Skujins.
03:26And she asked him about this specifically.
03:29We need to develop proper capabilities in space to have space geo-intelligence data.
03:38That is what we are discussing, what we call Earth Observation Governmental Service.
03:42And the last point, really, what we need to be prepared,
03:48that hybrid threats will become an issue and challenge, not only on Earth, but also in space.
03:57If we go to the United Nations General Assembly on the sidelines of that,
04:02speaking on a defense topic,
04:04the Greenland, the United States and Denmark signed a security and defense agreement.
04:09Do you think that this properly safeguards Danish sovereignty in the future?
04:14Well, at least what we can read from the statements of the Danish government,
04:22they are positive about that agreement.
04:26And definitely, perhaps, it's good that also the United States, Greenland and Denmark
04:33agreed on such kind of agreement.
04:35And it removes some kind of this, you know, language which was totally unacceptable,
04:41which was used by some American authorities.
04:47What was the language?
04:49The language was that, you know, we do remember very well
04:53that Greenland should belong to the United States and so on and so on because of security reasons.
04:58So now those issues are resolved, and that is what Europe was saying from the very beginning,
05:03and Denmark was saying from the very beginning.
05:05Yes, we understand some kind of American security interests that can be resolved in a proper way.
05:16Also on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly,
05:19the presidents of Lithuania and Poland met with the CEO of Palantir.
05:24This is the U.S.-based defense and tech company.
05:27The takeaway from these meetings is that we could expect more deeper cooperation
05:32between the two countries and the tech company.
05:35What do you make of this?
05:36Is this wise for Europe's eastern flank, particularly as that company has been criticized
05:41for how it uses AI on the battlefield?
05:44Palantir is a great company, and the developments with AI for intelligence,
05:51and the decisions for managing the data are very crucial for modern warfare doctrines.
05:58And we can see, for example, Ukrainian development with their own delta system
06:06for data management, battlefield data management.
06:12And this is what really is becoming a new normal in the management of battlefields
06:22and in implementation of warfare or defense doctrines.
06:30EU Defense Commissioner Andreas Kubelius speaking to our Angela Skugins.
06:35A new front is opening between Washington and Europe,
06:39this time over international justice.
06:42Donald Trump is calling on every country belonging to the International Criminal Court to quit,
06:47accusing the Hague-based tribunal of being anti-American and out of control.
06:53Trump is intensifying his long-running campaign against the world's only permanent court
06:58for prosecuting genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and aggression.
07:04Washington is also preparing sweeping sanctions aimed at crippling the court and its judges.
07:09At the United Nations, Trump, as usual, did not mince his words.
07:15The United States is equally opposed to the out-of-control institution known as
07:20the International Criminal Court.
07:22We will never allow U.S. service members or anyone else to be investigated or given show trials
07:29by an anti-American tribunal with no jurisdiction over us.
07:33They're an evil group of people.
07:35I call on all nations that are members of the ICC to officially resign from this rogue institution
07:42immediately.
07:43For the ICC, Trump's threat is existential.
07:47For Europe, the dispute goes to the heart of the international rules-based order.
07:52So, Europe is pushing back.
07:54Here's EU Justice Commissioner Michael McGrath in a statement to Euronews.
07:59The EU is strongly committed to the fight against impunity.
08:04Attacks or threats against the court, elected officials, personnel, and those cooperating with
08:09the court are not acceptable.
08:12Now, the fundamental question is this.
08:15Can a court designed to prosecute the world's most serious crimes operate independently when
08:21one of the world's most powerful countries is determined to undermine it?
08:25To discuss this, I'm now joined by Chloé Riedel, a French socialist in the European Parliament,
08:31where she sits on the Justice Committee.
08:33Good morning, Chloé, and thanks for coming on the show.
08:36Thank you for inviting me.
08:38So, Trump says the ICC is an out-of-control institution that is going after Americans.
08:45What's your argument?
08:46This is the key word, out-of-control.
08:49Trump hates that.
08:51And what is out-of-control of his control, he wants to erase it.
08:55So, for one year and a half now, he's been attacking the International Criminal Court,
08:59sanctioning its judges, up to 12 judges.
09:03And those attacks are unacceptable, unacceptable.
09:06And I just saw the comments from Commissioner McGrath.
09:09But we've been hearing that for one year now.
09:12Just press communiques and tweets to condemn the existential threats that Trump is now waging
09:21on ICC.
09:22So, we need to act now.
09:24These threats, I mean, could make it very difficult for the ICC to operate.
09:30Yeah, it is.
09:30What measures can Europe do to prevent that from happening?
09:35The European Union has the means to protect the court through what we call the blocking
09:40statute.
09:40This is a statute that could block the effects of the American sanctions against the court.
09:49Because now, the judges that are sanctioned at the same level as, like, Al-Qaeda terrorists,
09:55okay, just because they wanted to defend international law, encounter a number of difficulties in their
10:02daily lives, and this also, you know, threatens their work at the court.
10:08But they are determined to pursue their mission.
10:12So, we need to help them by activating this blocking statute.
10:16Ursula von der Leyen has refused to do that.
10:19But even so, we gather the majority in the European Parliament in favor of the activation of this
10:26blocking statute.
10:27What message does it send, the whole dispute here, to countries like Russia, when the West is
10:34obviously divided over international justice?
10:38Well, I don't know what you call the West anymore, because I know what is the United States, and I
10:44know
10:44what is Europe.
10:45And I just, you know, regret that Europe doesn't protect a court.
10:51The only international criminal, independent, permanent court that is, that has, you know,
11:00that is in the European soil, in The Hague, and doesn't do anything to protect it.
11:07So, we have a responsibility, a historic one, because the court is, you know, the successor
11:12of the Nuremberg Tribunal.
11:14We cannot, I think that today, the ICC has become the symbol of a world fighting against
11:22imperialism, fighting for international law.
11:25So, if we are serious about fighting impunity, we need to defend this court.
11:31So, now we are waiting, as a European Parliament, as a majority of members in the European Parliament,
11:37we are waiting for Europe to act.
11:38You alluded to that at the beginning of your answer.
11:42Are we witnessing here a fundamental break between the United States and Europe over the
11:48rules governing the international system?
11:51For sure, because we need to say why Trump sanctioned ICC in the first place.
11:57Because ICC was investigating on Palestine and on Israel alleged crime in Palestine, in Gaza,
12:06and because ICC was also investigating action from American army in Afghanistan, right?
12:13They stopped this investigation, but they were doing that.
12:15So, the United States cannot handle that.
12:19And so, he decides to attack what he cannot control.
12:24It's his own world.
12:25And we cannot accept this way of behaving.
12:29We built this court 25 years ago for future generations because of what happened in the
12:3620th century, you know.
12:38We don't – here in Europe, we didn't forget the lessons of the 20th century.
12:44So, I think that now we need to act more than with just words, you know, but with concrete
12:53steps.
12:53Chloé Riedel, member of the European Parliament from the French sources.
12:57Thank you so much for coming on the show this morning.
13:01As the Middle East war disrupts, global oil supplies and refining costs soar, European
13:07consumers are feeling the pinch more and more.
13:10In France, diesel prices have reached record levels, making them among the highest in Europe,
13:15prompting the government to call on the EU to do something.
13:19And in Belgium, energy costs for households are rising sharply, with the projected annual
13:24bill for a new electricity and gas contract approaching 3,300 euros.
13:30Many fear that prices will surge further.
13:33Joining me now from Lahore, Pakistan, is Osama Rizvi, global market and product strategist at
13:39Primary Vision.
13:40Good morning to you.
13:42Good morning to you as well, Stephen.
13:44So, energy prices keep rising for an average European household.
13:49Where will consumers feel the impact first?
13:52Electricity, gas, patrol or food prices?
13:55Well, unfortunately, all of them.
13:57The world of energy is such that the impacts spill over into all the domains.
14:03For instance, the households around paying around 1,500 euros annually, they can see, unfortunately,
14:10anywhere between 250 to even 300 euros being added to their electricity bills on average if
14:16the price continues to increase.
14:18But Stephen, here is where it gets more interesting.
14:20The businesses, the businesses, for instance, if they use 100,000 megawatt hour of electricity
14:26on an annual basis, even a 10 euro increase would result into an extra 1 million euro bill.
14:32Now, the businesses will have two options.
14:34Will they pass the cost to the consumers or will they bear it themselves?
14:38They will pass the cost to the consumers.
14:39So, you have inflation, you have cost of doing business increase, you have, you know, electricity
14:45pricing increasing and the policy effect of it is going to be an increase in interest rates
14:49as well.
14:50So, the consumer, unfortunately, finds itself in a very, you know, strained environment
14:55and there is no way out of it as of today.
14:59And, Osama, should governments intervene directly to cap energy prices or would that simply postpone
15:04the problem?
15:06Well, of course, I know this kicks in a debate between Milton Friedman versus those who follow
15:12Keynes, but I think we are living in an age of poly-crisis.
15:16There are multiple crises happening at the same point.
15:19It is happening in Pakistan as well, where the petrol prices have shot up by, I don't
15:23know how many percentages, like 60, 70 percent.
15:27But for a certain sector of the society, they have capped the prices.
15:31So, there is a whole mechanism through which they do it.
15:34And I'm sure European countries have better data gathering, better data integration as well.
15:38So, the low, the consumers on the lower end of earning, they definitely need to be protected.
15:45Otherwise, it can result into a social slash political problem as well.
15:49On that note, I mean, European governments have spent billions protecting consumers during the last energy crisis.
15:57The question is, can they afford to do that again?
16:00Well, if you look at the state of the European countries' coffers at the moment, I don't think so.
16:07They have much of a leverage there.
16:09The cost of energy ever since 2022 has continued to be on the upside.
16:14Then you have climate crisis, the drying up of River Rhine, the cost of freight going up.
16:19So many things happening at the same time.
16:20But, definitely, we will need to tap into some of those savings that we save for the rainy days and
16:27put it to work.
16:28Because, as I said, and I said before, I'll say it again.
16:31This can result into a spillover increase in food prices.
16:35And an increase in food prices can also result in social unrest.
16:39This is practically proven.
16:41So, this becomes a policy method.
16:44Very short.
16:44Very short.
16:45I mean, the question consumers really want answered.
16:47Should people expect their energy bills to get significantly higher over the coming months?
16:51Short answer.
16:52Not significantly, but if this continues, then definitely it can.
16:57Perfect.
16:58Osama Rizvi, thank you very much for coming on today.
17:01Now, later today, the United Nations General Assembly will endorse, by consensus,
17:06a landmark declaration aimed at ensuring that countries whose territory may become partly or entirely uninhabitable
17:14because of rising sea levels do not lose their statehood or their place in the international system.
17:21For the small island states at the front line of the climate crisis,
17:25this is about much more than disappearing beaches.
17:28Rising seas threaten the physical territory on which states have traditionally based their sovereignty.
17:34The declaration seeks to make clear that a change in coastline should not automatically mean
17:40the disappearance of a country as a legal and political entity.
17:44So, what's the impact, even on Europe?
17:47We heard from Kamal Amakran, managing director of the UN's Rising Nations Initiative.
17:54Regardless of our efforts to minimize, to stop climate change,
17:59once this sea goes up, this sea will not recede.
18:02It's not only an island issue.
18:04For some, it's definitely how do they affirm their statehood continuity,
18:10their maritime zones, their rights, their dignity.
18:14In Europe, it's an infrastructure challenge.
18:17It's an insurance challenge.
18:20It's a livelihood challenge.
18:22Sea level rise will have an impact on livelihood.
18:25And many of the industries that are core to many member states,
18:28tourism, for example, fishing, second, all the processing industries along the ports,
18:37and of course, the infrastructure that links Europe to the rest of the world
18:41and make Europe an engine of economic progress.
18:45Even if we stop today emitting carbons, we will see between 15 to 20 centimetres on average increase in sea
18:59level rise.
18:59Every centimetre of sea level rise will be translated in stronger storms, in stronger high tides,
19:06will be translated in many economic losses, because the ports will need to be adjusted and adapted.
19:13Some of the airports may need to be moved.
19:20That's it for today.
19:21Stay tuned to Euronews for more news throughout the day.
19:25Thank you for watching.
19:26I'm Stefan Grobe, and I see you tomorrow.
