03:12And that's the question.
03:14Will he bring back these tangible results?
03:16He could succeed?
03:17He could fail?
03:17What happens when he gets back?
03:19There's a sequence of events, right?
03:21So Maroshevcovich is now in Beijing.
03:23He's going to meet his Chinese counterpart,
03:25Wang Wentao.
03:26Then he's coming back to Brussels.
03:27He's going to meet his boss,
03:28Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
03:31Then on Sunday,
03:32there's an extraordinary meeting of ambassadors.
03:34The commission is going to brief them.
03:36Then ambassadors will brief their own capitals.
03:39And then next week,
03:40here in Brussels,
03:41EU leaders will meet
03:42and they will have to decide
03:44if these results brought back by Szevcovich
03:46are enough to continue the dialogue
03:48or if it's time to take action.
03:51And you mentioned EU leaders,
03:52of course, meeting next week in Brussels.
03:53They've been becoming rather hawkish
03:55when it comes to China.
03:56We've seen a letter by Friedrich Merz
03:58and also by Emmanuel Macron.
04:00Could we be on the brink of a trade war, Jorge?
04:02This letter, which I have here, by the way,
04:05is simply remarkable,
04:06I have to say,
04:07for at least two reasons.
04:09The first one is that
04:10one of the main factors
04:11that have held back
04:13the commission's policy on China
04:15is Germany,
04:16particularly the German industry,
04:18who have been very afraid
04:19of retaliation from Beijing.
04:21Now Berlin has concluded
04:23that the damage inflicted by China
04:25is greater than the commercial opportunities
04:28presented by China.
04:29And then the second reason
04:31is the fact that
04:32this letter proposes
04:34to create a new instrument
04:36that could immediately cut off China
04:38from the European market
04:39if the situation continues
04:41to be unsustainable
04:42as it is now.
04:43So the very fact
04:44that this radical option
04:46is put on paper
04:47and is signed
04:48by the President of France
04:50and the Chancellor of Germany
04:51shows you
04:52the exasperation
04:53and the desperation
04:54that Europeans have reached.
04:56sakes couldn't be higher.
04:58Couldn't be higher, exactly.
04:59We'll read all your reporting
05:00on yournews.com.
05:01Thank you so much for that.
05:02But now, moving on,
05:04students in France
05:05are bracing for another
05:06major day of protests
05:07after trade unions
05:09joined them
05:09in demonstrations
05:10that saw around
05:11250,000 people
05:13from all across the country
05:14on Tuesday.
05:15For the latest,
05:16we can head over to Paris
05:17and bring in
05:17our correspondent,
05:18Estelle Nilsen-Julien,
05:20who's standing in front
05:21of a very rowdy
05:22school this morning.
05:24And we can see
05:25schoolgoers
05:25back on the streets today
05:27just two days
05:28after that
05:28major demonstration.
05:29They're clearly
05:30still not satisfied, Estelle.
05:33Yes, so students
05:35and unions
05:35will be back
05:36on the streets today
05:37in Paris
05:38and across the country
05:39because they say
05:40the government
05:41is not listening to them.
05:42As you can see,
05:43I'm outside
05:44a secondary school
05:45in the 5th arrondissement
05:46of Paris
05:47and students
05:48got here very early.
05:49I've been in the streets
05:50since half six
05:51and I've seen
05:52students drag bins,
05:53barriers,
05:54many of them
05:55wearing face masks
05:56to cover their faces.
05:58In terms of what
06:00the unions
06:00and teaching unions
06:01are calling for,
06:02they are urging
06:03the government
06:04to reverse
06:04some of its budget proposals
06:06including things
06:07like pay freezes
06:09for public sector workers.
06:12And how has
06:13the government reacted?
06:14Have they made
06:14any concessions?
06:17Well, yesterday,
06:18Le Cornu,
06:19the French Prime Minister,
06:20addressed the nation
06:21and he made
06:22a point of saying
06:23that police officers
06:25and law enforcement officers
06:27had not been instructed
06:28to attack
06:30or have any
06:31acts of violence
06:33towards children.
06:34This comes amid
06:35intense scrutiny
06:36of police methods
06:37and we've seen
06:38some shocking
06:38cases
06:40where children
06:41were hurt
06:42in instances
06:43of police brutality.
06:45But the government
06:46has also launched
06:47a mass online
06:48consultation this week
06:50which has already
06:50gathered 40,000 signatures
06:52and the Prime Minister
06:54said that the findings
06:55of this consultation
06:56would be used
06:57to inform
06:58any possible
06:59policy changes.
07:01And Estelle,
07:02how long
07:02could these protests
07:03go on for?
07:06how long?
07:07I can't tell you exactly
07:08but I was just speaking
07:09to some students
07:10a few minutes ago
07:11who told me
07:12they would be on the streets
07:13for as long as it takes.
07:15They told me
07:15they were here
07:16because they felt
07:16their school days
07:17were too long
07:18and that they wanted
07:19more time outside
07:20of school
07:21for their personal life.
07:23Experts I spoke to
07:24though have told me
07:25that these kinds
07:26of social movements
07:27tend to dissipate
07:28in school holidays
07:30and France
07:31has a half term
07:32coming up
07:33in the coming weeks
07:33so that could be
07:34a factor
07:35which could
07:35make things
07:36slow down
07:37a little bit.
07:38Okay Estelle,
07:39Nils and Julianne
07:39thank you so much
07:40for your live broadcast
07:41there from the capital
07:43of France
07:43from Paris.
07:44But now we can head
07:45to Athens
07:45where the Secretary
07:46of State
07:47from the US
07:47Marco Rubio
07:48has arrived
07:49for the sixth round
07:50of the US-Greece
07:51strategic dialogue
07:52up for discussion
07:53security,
07:54defence and energy.
07:56And speaking
07:56just last night
07:57in Athens,
07:57Marco Rubio
07:58said Europe
07:58needs to quote
07:59wake up
08:00from its long slumber.
08:01For more
08:02we can head over
08:02to Athens
08:03and bring in
08:04our correspondent
08:05Faye DiClery.
08:06Good morning Faye.
08:07So quite an America
08:08first speech
08:09last night
08:09with quite a dig
08:10at Europeans
08:11to spend more
08:12on defence.
08:13Tell us more.
08:16Good morning Maeve.
08:17Marco Rubio
08:18is calling again
08:19on European countries
08:20to take on
08:21a greater responsibility
08:23for defending
08:24their own defence
08:25and he singled out
08:26Greece as an
08:27example.
08:28Speaking yesterday
08:28alongside
08:29the Greek
08:31foreign minister
08:32He praised Greece
08:34because the country
08:35is about to spend
08:365% of its GDP
08:39this year
08:39on defence
08:41with 3.5%
08:42solely
08:44on core defence.
08:45Speaking under
08:46the Parthenon
08:46in the afternoon
08:48Rubio linked
08:49the war in Ukraine,
08:51the situation
08:52in the Middle East,
08:53the situation
08:54in the Red Sea
08:55and the Strait of Hormuz
08:56with greater need
08:58of Europe
08:59to start
09:00defending more
09:01the continent
09:02and spending more
09:03on defence
09:04and he warned
09:05Europe
09:05as you said
09:06to wake
09:07from its long
09:08slumber
09:09and strengthen
09:10both its defence
09:12and industrial base.
09:14And Faye,
09:15the trip comes
09:15during quite a
09:16scandalous
09:17controversy
09:18if you like
09:18over the US
09:18ambassador to Greece.
09:20Tell us more
09:20about that.
09:22Yes,
09:23that was one
09:24of the highlights
09:25of the visit
09:25I would say.
09:26An American colleague
09:27asked you
09:28in the Prince
09:28Conference,
09:29Marco Rubio,
09:31about the
09:32Wall Street Journal
09:34report
09:34concerning
09:35the American
09:35ambassador
09:36Kimberly Guilfoyle.
09:38According to
09:39the Wall Street Journal
09:40some weeks ago
09:41in March
09:42during a dinner
09:43with Greek
09:44and American
09:44officials,
09:45Kimberly Guilfoyle
09:47referred
09:48to the fall
09:49of Romania's
09:50government
09:50saying
09:51allegedly
09:52that the
09:53United States
09:54had something
09:55implying better
09:56that the
09:56United States
09:57had something
09:58to do with it
09:59and saying
09:59allegedly
10:00again
10:00that the
10:02United States
10:02can do that
10:03with all the
10:03governments
10:04even in Greece.
10:06As you can
10:06understand
10:06this caused
10:08quite a noise
10:08here in Athens
10:09and of course
10:10in Bucharest
10:11for some days
10:13and some
10:14analysts
10:15even linked
10:16the timing
10:16of the
10:17visit
10:17to this
10:18situation
10:18but Marco
10:20Rubio
10:20yesterday
10:21rejected
10:22all these
10:23allegations
10:23he said
10:24that they
10:25were false
10:25and he
10:26gave full
10:28support
10:28to the
10:28American
10:29ambassador
10:29in Greece
10:30saying that
10:31she's doing
10:32her job
10:33great.

12:32earlier
12:32and so
12:33I'm
12:33not
12:33going
12:34to
12:34get
12:34too
12:34drawn
12:35into
12:35the
12:35detail
12:36of
12:36negotiations
12:36all
12:37I'll
12:37say
12:37is
12:38there's
12:38a
12:39real
12:39shared
12:39sense
12:40both
12:40between
12:40me
12:41and
12:41my
12:41colleagues
12:42here
12:42of a
12:43desire
12:43to bring
12:43Britain
12:44back
12:45closer
12:45to the
12:45European
12:46Union
12:46and be
12:47as
12:47ambitious
12:47as we
12:47possibly
12:48can
12:48and in
12:49answer to
12:49your specific
12:49question
12:50yes I expect
12:51that my
12:52Prime Minister will set out
12:53in more detail some of the views that he talked about in our conference
12:58last week around the time of the summer
13:01I appreciate you can't answer the details of these you know negotiations
13:05but I want to ask you about made in Europe because I understand that for your government
13:09the UK's inclusion in the made in Europe industrial policy in order to avoid UK industries from being shut off
13:16the European market is a major priority
13:19and do you see that a deal on that could be close
13:23look I think it's worth saying at the outset that the industries that have lobbied me with the most enthusiasm
13:30are European industries and there's such a clear sense that the European industrial base is shared with the second largest
13:38export market for the EU with the largest recipient of new EU vehicles many of which are partially constructed in
13:47the UK
13:47it would not be in either of our interests to see new barriers arising in our economic relations
13:55it is so strongly in EU and UK interests that the existing strong arrangements that we have are sustained
14:02and in terms of the concessions that you're willing to make in order to gain access and be included in
14:07that policy you know how far are you willing to go?
14:11So I think as I said I don't want to talk too much about the detail of the negotiations but
14:16just in general we've got very clear legally binding arrangements which govern the way in which the UK and EU
14:23markets are so closely integrated
14:24that's the TCA that provides strong protections to both sides on rules of origin and all sorts of other things
14:31it is the underpinning of a really important shared industrial base
14:36if we were to fracture that industrial base that would simply mean a weaker Europe both in the UK and
14:42in the EU
14:43so I don't think talking about sort of concessions is quite the right place to start
14:47this is a shared European industrial base which face shared common challenges which I've been very pleased to discuss for
14:54so many of my counterparts here today
14:56I think it is vital that we don't do things to make European industry weaker
15:04And staying in Strasbourg MEPs from the left wing of the European Parliament have come up with a new proposal
15:10they want to slash their net salaries in half from 8,800 euros per month to 4,400
15:18For more we can head over to Strasbourg and speak to Marc Bottenga, Belgian MEP from the left and actually
15:23one of the authors of this proposal
15:25Good morning Marc, thanks for joining us. Tell us more about your idea here
15:31Well the idea is very, I mean as you know that the salaries for members of the European Parliament
15:36also members of the Commission are extremely generous
15:38You know, they can go up to 13,000, 14,000 euros a month easily without even the additional allowances
15:44And so the question here is in a situation in which many people struggle to make it to the end
15:49of the month
15:49Perhaps it is time to say, listen, we're going to cut these salaries a little bit in order to bring
15:54them down to earth
15:55And in order for MEPs to, you know, realise perhaps a little bit more what the regular European is going
16:01through
16:01But I'm sure this proposal would face a lot of opposition there in the Parliament among MEPs
16:06So what can you actually really change?
16:11Well I think it's important to put that discussion out there
16:14That's the first thing, obviously, you know, people are shouting populism
16:18But I think it's very important that when, also for the outside
16:21When people see that, you know, members of the European Parliament, the European Commission
16:25They're very happy to discuss anything
16:27Like they can discuss cutting the European social funds, the cohesion funds, the regional funds, whatsoever
16:32All of this can be discussed
16:33But when it's about themselves, when it is about, you know, their own privileges, their own salaries
16:38Then suddenly, oh no, this cannot even be discussed
16:40So I think it's good to put that out there
16:42Especially today when we have this energy crisis
16:44You know, when many of us are afraid to go actually, you know, go up, get your fuel, do your
16:51groceries and whatever
16:52So I think that would be a really important signal
16:54And I've seen some critics say this is a populist stunt here
16:57What would you say to them?
17:02Well, you know, I would say why haven't they
17:04The only thing, the only thing they're stressed about is their own salary, their own privilege
17:08For the rest, they're very happy to discuss anything, as I said
17:10Secondly, I do believe that the way you live influences the way you vote and the kind of proposals you
17:16make
17:16You know, if you yourself have no clue what it means to be scared to, you know, pay for fuel,
17:23to pay for groceries whatsoever
17:25You know, this is going to have an impact on the priorities and on the proposals you're going to make
17:30in Parliament
17:31Or at the level of the European Commission
17:33You're not going to consider the energy crisis terribly horrible if you don't feel it yourself, a little bit at
17:39least, you know
17:40So in this sense, I would say, you know, maybe it's time for you to get out of your bubble
17:45and realize what's going on outside
17:47And if you want to lead by example, of course, why stop at the salaries?
17:50As you said, MEPs also get big allowances. Should they be looked at too?
17:57Oh, absolutely. I think there's a number of things we should be looking at
18:01I mean, we've got different proposals as well. There's also the transitional allowance
18:04So when MEPs leave Parliament, they get this transitional allowance
18:07You know, we'd say, why don't you just integrate, you know, national unemployment schemes?
18:11Because there's a lot of pressure on unemployment schemes at national levels
18:15Also pushed by politicians, but then they themselves are exempt from those schemes
18:20So I think there's a number of things that we can tackle
18:22Also on the additional allowances
18:25Why should that be just a fixed amount?
18:27Shouldn't that be linked to what you're actually spending?
18:29You know, all of these matters are on the table and need to be put on the table
18:33And that's what we're doing right now
18:35Because we're saying it's time to burst this bubble a little bit
18:38People are angry outside
18:39And they're angry at decisions that have been made in this Parliament and by this Commission
18:43And in order to break away with that
18:45To do away with that, sorry
18:47I think this is a good first step
18:49Well, people are certainly angry
18:51Mark Patengo, we see protests from Madrid to Paris
18:54And of course, Brussels bracing itself tomorrow for a national strike
