00:00Morocco's king has named Fatima El Mansouri as the country's first ever female prime minister
00:06after her party won last week's parliamentary elections.
00:10NATO chief Mark Rut has urged allies to remain calm over Russia's campaign of hostile actions in Europe,
00:16saying it has failed to weaken support for Ukraine.
00:22Morocco's king has named Fatima El Mansouri, the mayor of Marrakesh,
00:26as the country's first ever female prime minister after her party won last week's parliamentary elections.
00:33El Mansouri's center-right authenticity and modernity party is now expected to build a governing coalition in the coming days.
01:05El Mansouri's cabinet will have to tackle several pressing issues,
01:09including unemployment and living costs,
01:11as well as persistent social disparities, particularly weighing on young people.
01:17Her party has pledged an average annual economic growth of 5%,
01:21inflation of 2%, and the creation of at least 1 million new jobs over its five-year term.
01:30NATO chief Mark Rut has urged allies to remain calm over Russia's campaign of hostile actions in Europe.
01:35Russia continues its reckless campaign of hostile actions against NATO allies.
01:42It is trying to weaken our resolve and stop our support for Ukraine.
01:47But Russia is failing.
01:49It is failing on the battlefield in Ukraine,
01:52and it is failing to undermine our unity and support for Ukraine.
01:57Rut also said NATO should not be naive about Russia, but stressed that the alliance was stronger.
02:02His comments came after Estonia accused Russian intelligence services of ordering an arson attack
02:08on defense company Milram Robotics in Tallinn in August.
02:12Estonian foreign minister Margus Chakna described the incident as part of a broader Russian campaign
02:17to intimidate Europe and weaken its support for Kyiv.
02:20The perpetrators have been apprehended, according to Estonia.
02:24Lithuania's prime minister, meanwhile, said intelligence services had no evidence
02:28that Moscow was preparing something bigger in the coming weeks or months.
02:31Something is happening.
02:33The accusations prompted expressions of solidarity from Germany, France, Sweden and the European Union.
02:39But the Kremlin rejected Estonia's allegations as baseless, saying they had no relation to reality.
02:45It is not impacting reality.
02:50UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he will set out different options for the country's future relations
02:55with the European Union around a planned UK-EU summit later this year.
03:00Speaking at the Labour Party's annual conference in Liverpool on Tuesday,
03:04the British Premier argued that a clear strategy on the UK's long-term relationship with the bloc is vital.
03:10Well, control over immigration was weakened when we lost collaboration with our European partners
03:16and we are still having to work hard to bring it back.
03:20Later this year, there will be a UK-EU summit where one of the issues on the agenda
03:25will be how we best work together on immigration.
03:29And beyond that, we will work to secure gains for our British industries most harmed by Brexit.
03:35Conference, these are important concrete steps, but they are not enough.
03:39I say this to you and the country, we will not give Britain the clear path we need
03:44into the rest of this century until we decide on a long-term relationship
03:50with what is still our largest market.
03:54The country's divisive 2016 vote to leave the EU has once again been thrust under the spotlight this year
04:00amid mounting calls from leading Labour figures to re-enter the bloc.
04:04Burnham has also previously said he was in favour of rejoining.
04:07The UK leader has sought to establish increasingly close relations with Brussels
04:12since he took office and laid July from predecessor Keir Starmer.
04:21The recipients of this year's Alternative Nobel Prize, officially known as the Right Livelihood Award,
04:28have been announced in Stockholm.
04:29The award will be presented to four winners in the Swedish capital on the 1st of December.
04:35They were selected from among 200 nominees from 72 countries.
04:38One of them is Jalila Haider, a Pakistani human rights lawyer, the first female lawyer in the Hazara community.
04:45She stood up against ethnic, state and patriarchal persecution in the belief that no one should be forced into illegality,
04:53according to the jury.
04:54The jury justified its recognition of an African organisation known as the Rural Women's Assembly
05:00by noting that it had organised rural Roman in Sub-Saharan Africa into a strong united force,
05:06defending land, seed and bodily autonomy against corporate and patriarchal disposition.
05:12The Association of Young Georgian Lawyers was among this year's honorees in recognition of its work,
05:17carried out despite political repression, to build and safeguard Georgian democracy and sustaining civic power.
05:23Also among the honorees is Timnit Gebru, an Eritrean computer scientist
05:28who has been challenging concentrated power in artificial intelligence
05:32and pioneering digital technology rooted in justice, lived experience and human agency.
05:38The Right Livelihood Award was established in 1980 by Jakob van Uxkul,
05:43a German-Swedish writer and philatelist,
05:45to recognise those who offer practical solutions to the most pressing problems facing the Earth and humanity.
05:51The award comes with long-term support to enable the promotion and expansion of the laureate's work.
06:01French teenagers set fire to rubbish bins and hurled projectiles in clashes with police on Tuesday
06:07as they kept up a blockade of high schools to demand better conditions.
06:12Since last week, high school students across France staged protests outside their schools
06:17over grievances including timetables, class sizes and a shortage of teachers,
06:22as well as overheated classrooms in the wake of the recent heatwaves.
06:44The actions came as unions planned a day of nationwide demonstrations
06:49and also strikes over the budget of Prime Minister Sebastián Le Gornu.
06:53Tens of thousands were expected to rally in Paris and other cities,
06:57and protesting students also expressed solidarity with teachers
07:01who were on strike over wages and workload.
07:08The Spanish government has approved two new decrees aimed at tackling the country's housing crisis.
07:14The first lot of measures includes protections for tenants from evictions,
07:19tackling unfairness in the rental market and making homes more affordable.
07:24The second stage is aimed at giving tenants more stability and security in their rental contracts.
07:31The laws first need to be passed by Parliament.
07:34The government is looking to fast-track the measures
07:36and has asked Congress to hold an extraordinary session this Friday.
07:42Spain's Minister for Housing and Urban Agenda, Isabel Rodríguez,
07:46has described housing as the main problem facing Spaniards as she presented the bill.
07:52...con parar los desahucios, que no vuelva a haber otro caso como el de Mari Carmen en nuestro país,
07:59que la sociedad española no puede permitírselo y que esto es un clamor
08:02que hemos de asumir todos los grupos políticos con representación en el Congreso de los Diputados
08:08y que pongamos pie en pared a la especulación, que es un mandato constitucional.
08:13Para ello vamos a ampliar la vigencia del escudo social hasta el año 2030,
08:18hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2030 y mejorar todos los mecanismos de protección de las administraciones públicas
08:24para evitar esta circunstancia y proteger a todas las personas.
08:28This comes at a time of growing public pressure over soaring housing costs
08:33and mounting difficulties for people looking to both rent and buy,
08:38as well as protests in the capital Madrid following the eviction of an 87-year-old woman
08:43known as Mari Carmen, a decision that has since been reversed following a deal with the housing company.
08:54The Euronews Travel and Tourism Summit took place in Brussels on Tuesday
08:58with a variety of policy makers and leading industry figures
09:01gathering to discuss the future of European tourism and beyond.
09:04Here are some of the highlights from the event.
09:07The U.S. ambassador to Belgium, Bill White, praised Belgium for having so much more to offer
09:12than waffles, chocolate and beer.
09:14However, he did criticize the Brussels airport.
09:17The lines at the airport suck.
09:22They're really bad.
09:23So one of the things we have to do in our transatlantic alliance and relationship
09:30is to recognize that if we want more people to come to Belgium,
09:35we have to fix this problem.
09:37It has to get better.
09:38It must get better immediately.
09:41Another guest was the Albanian Prime Minister, Edirama,
09:44who explained that his country is making significant strides in the tourism sector
09:47but is still struggling with the stereotypical portrayals in Europe.
09:51When Croatia was a destination for many Europeans,
09:55we were the most isolated country in Europe, North Korea of Europe.
10:03After we got out from that hell,
10:07we were confronted with very, very disturbing stereotypes.
10:14So now it's our turn.
10:16Who we target?
10:17We target the world.
10:18The CEO of the European Travel Commission,
10:21which represents Europe's national tourism organizations,
10:23highlighted another important point
10:25as he spoke about the impact of climate change
10:27and Europe's role as a destination.
10:29It was too hot and so on.
10:30Climate change is the biggest threat to tourism right now, by far.
10:36Climate change is affecting every single human activity.
10:39It's not only tourism.
10:40We see that trains cannot run sometimes
10:41because the rails are expanded because of the heat.
10:44We saw that the cruise lines in the European rivers couldn't run
10:50because it was too dry and so on.
10:52So we have to prepare for that
10:55in a much more coordinated and comprehensive way.
10:58Other notable guests were also present at the summit,
11:01including the CEO of the Azerbaijan Tourism Board,
11:04Florian Sengschmidt,
11:05the CEO of MSC Cruises, Gianni Onarato,
11:08Romanian Tourism Secretary of State, Dan Adrian Popp,
11:11and Dubrovnik Mayor, Mato Frankovic.
11:12Your mind is cultured.
11:14The event also included lighthearted exchanges like this one
11:17where the U.S. ambassador admitted
11:18he is an avid viewer of Euronews.
11:21We watch Euronews all the time at the U.S. Embassy.
11:25The great stories that you're putting out there.
11:27Congratulations on all the success.
11:29Very proud of you and Klaus and the whole team.
11:32Great job everybody is doing here
11:34and it's great to be with all of you.
