07:14There is very little expectation that this pressure will ease the air defense servicemen I talked to here in Kyiv
07:22called the situation, quote, catastrophic, and they say it is going to get only worse in October and November.
07:30Russia is increasing the pace and the complexity of its missile and drone attacks, including these jet-powered drones, while
07:38Ukraine remains critically short of air defense to be able to stop these attacks.
07:44Sascha Vakulina, they are reporting from Kyiv. Thank you very much.
07:48One of Ukraine's strongest backers among EU personalities was and is the former Lithuanian foreign minister, Gabrielyus Landsbergis.
07:57Angeles Kujins caught up with him to get his take on the current situation.
08:02Lithuania is part of NATO.
08:04So, you know, the reason why we are in the alliance is that we expect these sort of situations that
08:11we're currently seeing, so-called hybrid events and, you know, the potential escalation to be mitigated by the allies.
08:19There is only so much that we can do, and Lithuania is, you know, is doing our part by increasing
08:24the financing and the debate is ongoing whether, you know, that Lithuania should return to universal conscription and kind of,
08:31you know, boosting our own ability to defend the country.
08:35But when it comes to, you know, when it comes to Russian escalation, we really, really need, you know, NATO's
08:41response.
08:41And let's just talk about the Foreign Affairs Council meeting on Monday in the Belgian capital.
08:45We're expecting to get an update from Ukraine's minister for defence.
08:49We're expecting him to call on allies to step up when it comes to air defence support in particular.
08:55We also know that the EU foreign high representative, Kaya Callis, she's really been pressing Greece and Spain to hand
09:04over their Patriot interceptor missiles.
09:06Why do you think that that lobbying hasn't been successful?
09:10Well, there are very deep and diverging points of view as to what is the main security issue for the,
09:20you know, northern part of Europe and southern part of Europe, with exceptions, clearly.
09:24But, I mean, you know, for example, we know how Greece operates and how they see their threats and what
09:31they are defending their islands from.
09:33It's not Russia.
09:34It's, you know, it's basically their neighbour.
09:37Spain has, you know, an entirely different mentality as well as to how they see their threats.
09:43And it's something, in some cases, very difficult for, you know, northern and eastern part of Europe to understand that,
09:49right?
09:49Well, we are facing what we think is an existential threat, right?
09:53We have drones flying over our heads, you know, and then, you know, and then people preparing for that, you
09:59know, who knows, invasion or, you know, increased escalating hybrid, hybrid attacks.
10:05And, you know, and how do you convince them if this is not enough?
10:08We've also seen reporting coming out recently regarding a potential Russian threat regarding those Mediterranean countries.
10:16The source here is allegedly from Lithuania, someone close to the government.
10:21From my point of view, it is not too surprising.
10:24Russia has been known to use a shadow fleet against, to launch drones against Germany, against the United Kingdom.
10:33So, theoretically, why wouldn't they be able to do the same thing with southern European countries, right?
10:39We also know that Ukraine, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has stated publicly that there is a 20 billion euro
10:49shortfall currently.
10:50He's asking allies to step in and fill the gap.
10:53But we also know the European Commission has been exerting quite a bit of pressure on the radar to implement
10:58reforms to access more cash.
11:01What do you make of this saga?
11:03Both points of view are right.
11:05So, on one hand, clearly, Ukrainian radar has to do their homework.
11:09There is no way around it.
11:11They made the promise and they didn't deliver on it.
11:13But on the other hand, what President Zelenskyy is saying is also true.
11:18So, they have this military budget that has been constrained in a way because they are very actively operating in
11:26Russian airspace by attacking logistics centers, oil refiners and stuff like that.
11:31It's very expensive to perform these operations.
11:35And they might be lacking funds even by the end of this year.
11:39So, the question to the European Union might fall to, you know, that might become a strategic question.
11:45We can argue that they need to do reforms and they will do that maybe slowly, slower than we would
11:51like to.
11:51But then the question is, so, do we allow Ukraine to just stop defending themselves if they lack the money?
11:59And I believe that that will be the most important question of the next year, even.
12:07Former Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Lansbergis.
12:11In the U.S.-Iran war, military operations seem to have paused for now, but not the war of words.
12:18The U.S. military said it maintains control of all of its drone assets, calling Iran's claim that it captured
12:25an advanced U.S. underwater vehicle in the Strait of Hormuz clearly desperate.
12:29Meanwhile, a top Iranian general warned Gulf neighbors that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until U.S. economic
12:37warfare ends.
12:39So, where does that leave the world with its quest for peace?
12:43Joining me now from Doha is our correspondent, Adel Halim, who has been following this conflict like nobody else.
12:49Good morning, Adel.
12:52Good morning, Stefan.
12:53So, there has been a lot of diplomatic activity around Iran over the past few days.
13:00Where do things stand now?
13:04Well, diplomacy isn't dead, but the two sides are still very far apart.
13:08U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and the market reacted immediately.
13:15Oil prices this morning jumped to $106 a barrel of rent crude, and Iran wanted the U.S. naval blockade
13:22lifted, sanctions removed, and frozen assets released.
13:26It also wanted to include Lebanon as part of the ceasefire deal.
13:29Trump says that's not a deal he's prepared to make.
13:32Iran says it won't back down from those conditions either, but importantly, neither side is walking away from talks altogether.
13:38Trump says he expects negotiations to continue this week,
13:40and Iran says it's still waiting for Washington's formal response through mediators, which include Qatar.
13:45So, the deal has been rejected, but the diplomatic track is still open.
13:49Stefan?
13:50So, again, does diplomacy still have a chance here, or are we heading back towards escalation?
13:59Well, both options are still possible right now.
14:02Iran's foreign minister says the country is prepared for war, but he also said Iran is ready for diplomacy.
14:07But the problem is the tensions are growing well beyond Iran.
14:12Saudi Arabia is now facing near-daily attacks from the Houthis.
14:15There's fierce fighting that we're seeing in Yemen, where the Houthis now control the country's strategic Red Sea coast.
14:21And we're seeing security concerns further afield as well.
14:23In Britain, five men were arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act on RAF Fairford.
14:29That's a British base where U.S. bombers were taking off in the war against Iran.
14:37Authorities are investing a possible Iran connection, but so far nothing has been established.
14:41So, there is still a diplomatic track, but this conflict is already spreading well beyond the Hormuz.
14:47And the longer it continues, the bigger the risk for further escalation.
14:50Stefan?
14:51All right, Adel Halim from Doha for us.
14:54Thank you very much.
14:56And now let's go back to the EU Council building, where Angela Skudgens is still on standby for us.
15:02And she has a guest.
15:03Angela, over to you.
15:06Yes, good morning, Stefan.
15:08I'm back here in the European Council building with Poland's Deputy Minister for Defense, Paweł Zalewski.
15:14Now, Minister, thank you so much for joining us on the show.
15:17My pleasure.
15:18On the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly last week, Poland's President Karol Nawrowski met with the CEO of
15:26Palantir.
15:26What do you make of this?
15:28Should Poland get into bed with such a controversial tech company?
15:32I'm not surprised with that.
15:33Palantir supplies NATO, NATO's countries, with very important IT products.
15:40So, I'm interested in their products, not in their ideology.
15:47What don't you like about the ideology?
15:49Sorry?
15:50What don't you like about the ideology?
15:52I'm not interested in the ideology because, you know, we have very concrete problems to solve.
15:59and Palantir supports first NATO, then our allies with the products.
16:08I wouldn't like to say that we have decided to choose concrete elements.
16:19But, as I mentioned, when we are talking about technology firms, what we are interested in is what they can
16:27offer to us to defend our country,
16:29and not in ideology, standing behind the leaders of these firms.
16:35Absolutely.
16:36And on to another tech topic with defence.
16:40Ukraine's former defence minister, Mikhail Fedorov, posted a video on X in which he showed the future of warfare in
16:46Ukraine,
16:47one in which is littered with robots.
16:49Is this a future that you see for Poland as well?
16:52Definitely the future of the warfare is in autonomous systems and AI as a command support.
17:04So, definitely this robot solutions are important.
17:11We are cooperating with Ukrainians.
17:14They have a lot of very interesting technologies, not only drone technologies.
17:20So, I believe that they have a lot to offer to their partners.
17:27Absolutely.
17:28And I expect that this conversation to develop today.
17:30Thank you so much for joining us, Minister.
17:32Thank you very much.
17:33Thank you.
17:33All right, Angela Skujins, our correspondent at the European Council Building.
17:37Thank you for covering today's minister's meeting for us.
17:40And now to the story about the American in Paris.
17:44Yet, it wasn't only the French capital that gave Pope Leo a welcome fit for a rock star.
17:50From the Champs-Élysées to packed gatherings of the faithful along the way,
17:55extraordinary crowds turned out to see the American pontiff with French roots,
18:00cheering, chanting, and reaching out for a glimpse of him.
18:04For Pope Leo, this was a powerful display of the enthusiasm and expectations surrounding a new era for the Catholic
18:11Church.
18:12And in France, he found a country where faith, tradition, and secularism continue to collide,
18:18but where thousands were eager to listen to his message.
18:21One who heard the Pope was our correspondent Estelle Nielsen-Julien,
18:26who is on her way to Metz for Leo's final appearance in France.
18:29And before, she sent us this.
18:32Well, the Pope's visit to France has certainly been absolutely historic,
18:36and we witnessed many stunning scenes which will undoubtedly enter the archives of the country this weekend.
18:43In particular, the Pope's open-air mass, which was attended by 800,000 people,
18:48which he delivered on the Place de la Conquerde.
18:50We saw some striking images of him blessing babies and children,
18:54with one image in particular of him blessing a young,
18:58a disabled girl named Marie Larrance emerging as she was lifted up by the crowds to him.
19:05On the streets of Paris, I spoke to many faithfuls,
19:08some of whom were moved to tears as they told me what it meant to them to see the Pope
19:13on French soil.
19:14I also met with families, and parents told me that for them,
19:17it was very important to live this moment with their children.
19:21Overall, there has been a sense of unity in France,
19:24which of course is a secular country, but has deep Catholic roots.
19:29On Sunday, the Pope was in the world-renowned Catholic pilgrimage site of Lourdes,
19:34where he delivered a Sunday mass attended by 200,000 people,
19:38and he also met with survivors of sexual abuse within the church.
19:42As for Monday, he is set to address European leaders
19:47and deliver a speech focused on the importance of European peace
19:51in the north-eastern French town of Metz.
19:56And that's it for today.
19:58See you tomorrow.
19:59We'll see you tomorrow.
20:02We'll see you tomorrow.
20:11We'll see you tomorrow.
20:12We'll see you tomorrow.
20:15We'll see you tomorrow.
20:16We'll see you tomorrow.
20:16We'll see you tomorrow.
20:16We'll see you tomorrow.
20:16We'll see you tomorrow.
20:17We'll see you tomorrow.
20:17We'll see you tomorrow.
20:17We'll see you tomorrow.
20:18We'll see you tomorrow.
20:18We'll see you tomorrow.
20:20We'll see you tomorrow.
20:21We'll see you tomorrow.
20:22We'll see you tomorrow.
