05:26...discussed and revealed to the wider public, which is getting quite impatient.
05:32Okay, Valerie Gourier, thank you so much for that live update there from Paris and beyond France.
05:38The cost of living and housing crisis has been sparking unrest all across the continent.
05:43From Albania to Portugal, Italy to Spain, thousands have been taking to the streets this weekend,
05:49declaring that soaring housing costs and inflation have left them suffocating.
05:53For more, we can bring in Professor Alberto Alamano.
05:56He's a professor in EU law at HEC Paris.
05:58Good morning, Alberto. Thank you so much for joining us.
06:01Just did you see these protests coming first and how long do you think they could last?
06:07I would say Europe's youth protests are not one movement at the moment.
06:12They reflect shared anxieties about job, living costs in the future.
06:16And they are becoming violent, at least in some corners of Europe,
06:21which is complicating the ability of the youth to convey their message to political leaders.
06:27However, treating this protest as a teenage revolution or as a pan-European movement might be inaccurate
06:33and even misleading by fooling an image of Europe that is destroying itself,
06:38which I don't think is entirely accurate.
06:41You're right in pointing out that these protests are spreading across Europe,
06:46but I think their immediate calls differ from one another.
06:50And that's why I don't think we should treat them as one phenomenon.
06:54We are probably talking about different situations,
06:57different reasons that spark this protest with some imitation that is occurring among them,
07:02fueled by media coverage.
07:04Well, how can politicians catch hold of the situation?
07:07As you've seen in France, the political response has not been adequate.
07:12Well, by now it is pretty clear that the French protests have not been foreseen or treated with due of
07:19care.
07:20They were largely anticipated, and yet the police and the public authority were not able to handle,
07:26to prevent and to mitigate disaster.
07:28And there is also evidence suggesting that there has been some abuse of power
07:32with many thousands of arrests, some violence and accidents that could have potentially been foreseen.
07:39And that's why we've been hearing in the past few hours quite strong calls for inquiries
07:46in order to find out exactly what went wrong and to avoid this to happen in the future,
07:51should this protest continue across countries in Europe.
07:54And have EU heads of state and government been too focused on issues like defence and security,
07:59far away from people's real-life struggles?
08:02Well, there are many instances in which we've been hearing students,
08:07the youth and even trade unions and workers claiming that there is something broader than the school issue here.
08:13We see that the capacity of most countries to spend for welfare state has been reduced,
08:21reduced by this major rush towards rearmament of Europe, and this is causing concern.
08:26Concerns among different peoples of Europe feel affected, in particular the younger ones,
08:31because they know that their future will be bleak compared to that of their own parents.
08:35We have a lot of polls suggesting that more than half of the youth in Europe
08:39believe that their future won't be as right as that of their parents.
08:43And that, of course, is a very important message, which has been perhaps blurred out,
08:47because, of course, it's the violence and those images that are, of course,
08:50dominating the headlines this morning.
08:51Professor Alberto Almano, thank you so much for joining us here.
08:54Now, moving on, Ukraine has reportedly launched a major drone attack on St. Petersburg,
09:00striking an oil terminal and targeting a data centre and a bridge.
09:03The attack comes just one week after President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire,
09:08which has failed to halt strikes on energy infrastructure.
09:11For more, we're joined now here in the studio by our Ukraine correspondent, Sasha Vakilina.
09:16Good morning, Sasha.
09:17Just tell us, what more do we know about this overnight attack
09:20and what does it mean for Trump's proposed energy ceasefire?
09:23Well, reportedly, two of the city's oil facilities have been struck by Ukrainian drones,
09:27and one of them indeed is being St. Petersburg Oil Terminal.
09:30It is important to note that this is indeed one of the largest oil terminals in Russia.
09:36Now, this attack over the weekend seems to put sort of an official end
09:39to Donald Trump's unilaterally declared energy ceasefire,
09:43because Kyiv did pause its strikes on Russia's energy facilities for a couple of days,
09:48while Russia did not do that.
09:50And including this night now, there are ballistic missiles launched at Kyiv and at Ukraine.
09:56And Volodymyr Zelensky said that over just the past week,
09:59Russia deliberately attacked Ukraine's energy and oil and gas sectors 76 times,
10:06launching almost 2,700 attack drones, 1,7000 aerial bombs and 66 missiles made.
10:15Now, but that certainly would not please Donald Trump.
10:18And we've heard overnight from him.
10:19He posted on Truth Social.
10:21And now the post saying that he is willing to put an end to this war in his own way.
10:26He still believes in the energy ceasefire.
10:28And he actually said that Russia, and I'm quoting him here,
10:31is doing very little, if anything, to help Iran.
10:34And instead, he said that Russia is helping the world and the United States when it comes to diesel.
10:39And he again blamed Ukraine, said that Ukraine is deliberately using diesel refineries as target,
10:46knowing how much they hurt the world diesel market.
10:49He also blamed, once again, Volodymyr Zelensky, saying, quote,
10:52he does not care and he does not want to end this war Donald Trump said.
10:56Now, I spoke also exclusively to the EU's ambassador to Kyiv, Katerina Matanova,
11:01who has a very different view on that, because she actually lives in Kyiv
11:04and lives through every single Russian attack in Ukraine's capital.
11:08What happened since the end of August of this year is that Kyiv became a true frontline city.
11:17And this is not only the nighttime attacks that we are almost used to,
11:23but the daytime attacks that started on the 27th of August are relentless.
11:29And they, people can't really imagine when they're outside that when you have an alert,
11:34kids have to stop studying, go to the shelter.
11:38Doctors stop carrying out medical procedures.
11:42Metro stops.
11:43With the intensified attacks by Russia since the end of August,
11:46Moscow has been using more and more as well of jet-powered drones,
11:50which are much harder to intercept.
11:52And very often, the targets have nothing to do with the military.
11:55I think this is quite a specialty of Russia, is the attacks on civilian targets.
12:02And let's remind ourselves that attacking civilian targets is a war crime.
12:09It goes against the laws of war.
12:12So apart from aggressing peaceful country in the first place,
12:17the war crimes are happening on a daily basis.
12:20There is also diplomatic escalation happening these days between the United States and Ukraine,
12:25which is one of the important topics regarding how much more Europe can step in
12:30to help with your experience, firsthand experience of living through all of that in Kyiv.
12:36What do you communicate with your colleagues, diplomats and the European leaders here in Brussels?
12:42Europe has been and is proving itself to be really the steadfast,
12:50the most reliable supporter of Ukraine, both on the financial side and the military side.
12:56President Kostov was very clear that we are certainly not going to release any sanctions on Russia
13:05until the war stops.
13:07And also, you know, right now, the European Union is carrying about three quarters of the financial support for Ukraine.
13:19And I think there is determination to continue.
13:22But we also will be talking to our like-minded partners to step up their effort as well.
13:28One of the aspects of Europe's bigger support and more of the European Union stepping in
13:34also comes to supporting Ukraine when it comes to Ukraine's right to strike Russia's oil facilities,
13:40refineries to target Russia's money-making machine, the one that is financing the war.
13:45We have heard from Kaya Kalas, who told Euronews that Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries
13:50constitute legitimate self-defense.
13:52But this support of Europe can also put Europe and Brussels at odds and in trouble in its relations with
14:00the United States.
14:01Well, I would prefer not to comment on that.
14:04I look at it from the perspective of Kiev and living there.
14:09And I certainly support the view that the high representative expressed because it's the fossil fuel industry that is fueling
14:20the war on the Russia side.
14:25And moving on from Gaza to Congo, South Sudan to Myanmar, attacks on humanitarian workers are on the up as
14:32funding for their day job is going down.
14:34And as the EU prepares its long-term kitty from 2028 to 2034, a fight is unfolding over how development,
14:43humanitarian aid and geopolitical priorities can be financed.
14:47For more, we sat down with the UN aid chief, Tom Fletcher, who passed through Brussels for the EU's first
14:52ever conference on the protection of aid workers.
14:54And we started by asking how bad their plight was.
14:57Take a look.
14:58Oh, it's been terrible.
14:59I mean, we've lost a thousand colleagues in the last three years.
15:03And so the question being asked at this conference is, how do we stop people killing aid workers?
15:08We shouldn't have to ask that question.
15:09I mean, the protection, the law is meant to be there to protect us.
15:12We've got our humanitarian neutrality.
15:14We should be able to go and deliver food, medicine, shelter without people killing us.
15:19And yet a thousand dead colleagues in three years.
15:21And the way people are being killed as well is even more vicious, more sophisticated.
15:25It's terrifying.
15:26And remember, you know, these are people who wake up, they kiss their kids, you know, goodbye in the morning.
15:30They're going out to work.
15:31They're going into danger.
15:32They know the dangers.
15:33And somewhere else there are other people thinking, how do we kill them?
15:36You know, I can't get my head into the mindset of the people who are killing aid workers.
15:42And there's no accountability.
15:43Never investigations.
15:44And the weapons, as you say, becoming more and more sophisticated, including, I was in Kherson just recently in Ukraine.
15:50You know, the drones being used there, the AI drones that become more lethal as they get to the end
15:56of their battery life because they're programmed to find a target and to kill it.
15:59What role will AI play going forward?
16:01As you say, it's already playing a role in Ukraine, also in the war in Iran we've seen.
16:05In these new weapons right now, in Sudan, in Somalia, South Sudan, Lebanon, Gaza, so many of the places we're
16:11working, people are telling us right now that they are an atrocities lab, that these weapons are being developed, that
16:17they're, you know, like a lab.
16:19They're being experimented on with these new weapons.
16:21And it's been becoming terrifying because you're getting these kill zones in which nothing can survive.
16:29And meanwhile, that's happening on the ground.
16:30And here in Brussels, politically, just last week, we saw the EU summit.
16:34There was lots of squabbles over the EU budget.
16:36There's lots of talk of cutting development aid, overseas aid.
16:39What would that mean for these areas?
16:40And, of course, fragile and conflicted states.
16:42It would be devastating.
16:43I mean, we faced enormous cuts already in the last few years.
16:48And as a result, at least a third of the sector has had to be cut.
16:51Now, I then go out to the field, and I'm in places where I know that people will die because
16:57of the cuts, because of choices I'm then having to make.
16:59I was in Afghanistan recently where, you know, we've cut the clinics, and so, therefore, women are cycling much further
17:05to give birth.
17:06And as a result, they're losing their kids because they're dying on the road.
17:10You know, again and again, I'm holding children who I know will probably not survive because of the cuts I'm
17:14being forced to make.
17:15So we desperately need this to be a budget of solidarity and generosity for the people in the world who
17:20need it most.
17:21And that's one of the reasons I'm here.
17:23And when you hear messages like those coming from France, from Marine Le Pen, whose party is doing very well
17:27in the polls ahead of those elections next year,
17:29she's saying that she'll be cutting funds even to Ukraine.
17:33What does that make you think?
17:35I've been in Ukraine recently.
17:36I've seen how great the needs are.
17:38I was in Kyiv overnight when they had a terrible night.
17:41Ballistic missiles, huge missiles landing all through the night.
17:43I was in Hassan up on the front line.
17:46I drove down what they call the road of death, where so many of these drones are attacking, hitting civilians.
17:52So those needs there are massive.
17:55And I think, you know, there are many politicians in Europe who make the case for cutting aid.
18:01But actually, if you're not dealing with these problems at source, then these problems will come in your direction.
18:05You can't put a tariff on a pandemic.
18:08You can't build a wall large enough to keep out the waves of migration that the climate crisis and the
18:13aid cuts will drive.
18:15So, you know, we'll keep on making the argument and hope that there are enough people of solidarity and generosity
18:20there to see it through.
18:22And just finally, we're coming.
18:23Well, it's already one year since the ceasefire in Gaza.
18:26Coming into the winter, what does the situation look like there?
18:29It's grim.
18:29And, you know, a year on from the ceasefire, we have managed to get the hunger levels down.
18:34So about half the number of people who were reporting going to bed hungry a year ago are saying they're
18:39still going to bed hungry.
18:40But that's still almost half the population going to bed hungry.
18:44You know, we're being blocked from bringing in the shelter materials for the winter, the tents that people need.
18:50We're being blocked from all the work we need to do to clear the rubble in Gaza, under which people's
18:56loved ones are still buried so they can start to rebuild their homes and their lives.
19:00So some things are improving.
19:02We've got 100,000 kids back into school, but those kids should never have been out of school.
19:07And now we're facing into a really, really rough winter.
