04:44ولمة هنا
04:45So there were also many calls on social media
04:49calling for journalists to be held to account
04:52but in practice this led to violence on the ground.
04:55Okay, so Nielsen, Julianne, they're reporting from Paris.
04:57Thank you so much for your work.
04:59Now, six years of hard work gone in one single night.
05:03That's the reality for Odelia Sitbon,
05:05a pharmacist near Paris' Place de l'École publique.
05:08Last Saturday, rioters smashed through her shop
05:10looting her stocks and setting it ablaze.
05:13Left with empty shelves, shattered glass
05:15and financial concerns about how to raise her three kids,
05:18Odelia shared her story with Euronews' Valerie Torghia.
05:23The scale of the damage is immense.
05:25Everything is destroyed, everything.
05:27I have no stock left. They burned it all.
05:29I don't even understand how someone could set on fire
05:32the building when they are homes above it.
05:34Upstairs is my pharmacy's storage area.
05:36Even if they wanted to steal, the stock was right there.
05:39But instead, they burned everything.
05:41Are we really supposed to believe
05:43this is because the cost of living is so high?
05:46It's because looting is easy.
05:48It's just because they can.
05:50I've been working here for six years.
05:52When I first started up the business,
05:53I was seven months pregnant.
05:55And I came back to work just two weeks after giving birth.
05:58Two weeks!
05:59And for what?
06:00Because I wanted to provide the service.
06:02But they didn't care at all.
06:03They behaved like animals.
06:05They ripped out my water heater.
06:06They tore down my light fixtures.
06:08Is this how you protest the high cost of living?
06:11By tearing down light fixtures?
06:13By smashing up a robot?
06:15Well, a pharmacy robot cost 150.000 bucks.
06:18And in my opinion, it's ruined.
06:20I haven't even been able to check it properly yet
06:22because I can't turn the power back on.
06:24They ripped out all of my electrical wiring,
06:26which cost me 15.000 bucks to replace.
06:28And the police, no one protected us.
06:30To see your life's work destroyed like this,
06:32there is nothing worse.
06:33The work of your life destroyed like that,
06:35it's a failure.
06:38And since all that looting and violence,
06:41French retailers now face hundreds of millions of euros in damage.
06:44From small boutiques to luxury shops on the high streets,
06:47all types were targeted by theft and vandalism,
06:49with the Galerie Lafayette group reporting significant consequences
06:52for the vast majority of their shops all across the country.
06:56From the view now from the ground,
06:57we can bring in Patrick Molinès.
06:59He's the vice president of the French Mayor's Association
07:01and also a member of the European Committee of the Regions.
07:04Good morning, sir.
07:05Thank you so much for joining us.
07:07Now, we've seen those devastating pictures from the capital there,
07:10but what's it like for smaller towns
07:12and, of course, Dijon, the capital of your region?
07:16Well, it depends.
07:17On some smaller towns,
07:19I mean, the real rural areas are quite calm, actually.
07:22It's mainly in major cities that the bad things happen
07:26because it's actually coordinated action from extremists
07:31that has nothing to do with normal protesters.
07:33So, let's say, in the countryside, things are pretty quiet.
07:36But there's a real blame game going on now politically,
07:39and we know it's a tense time in France
07:40with presidential elections coming up next year.
07:43You're from the Radical Party of the Left.
07:45We've seen the Prime Minister blaming the so-called left for this violence.
07:49How do you react to that?
07:51Well, the Radical Left is a center-left party, I should say.
07:55So, the name doesn't tell it all.
07:57So, we're a center-left party.
07:58But that's not the question.
07:59The question is, there is a real difference between protesters
08:03who want just to say, well, what they complain about,
08:08and that's completely legitimate.
08:10But what happened, the destruction, the town hall attack, and everything,
08:15this is most probably the fact of extremists, extreme right and extreme left.
08:20And I personally believe, and we will have evidence of that in a very short time,
08:25I'm sure, that there are also foreign interference in this matter.
08:29Definitely on social media, Russian interference is quite certain,
08:35and maybe not only Russian, and maybe also physically.
08:40I mean, some of the attacks were planned.
08:43You don't come into the city and destroy, dismantle some physical equipment without training.
08:52It's not the fact of just people getting angry.
08:55That is not true.
08:56That is not possible.
08:56But these images, of course, of the violence, the vandalism,
08:59they've overshadowed the whole story here,
09:01which began really with young people protesting over school conditions
09:05and struggling with their day-to-day issues.
09:07What are the core structural problems facing France today,
09:10and how can they be addressed?
09:13Well, there are problems all the time.
09:15I mean, we're all in an implementing situation.
09:19I mean, everyone wants to have a better life tomorrow.
09:21One of the problems nowadays is that looking at the future on a bright way
09:26is getting harder and harder.
09:28So some student protests about the system that classifies them to go to universities.
09:32Some complain about how their lycée, their schools, or their university are in good or not so good shape.
09:42But overall, it's a normal protest at the beginning.
09:45But of course, six months before the presidential election,
09:50some people have interest to make things get harder and harder.
09:54So from a normal and legitimate protestation,
09:57we're getting to something that is completely different.
10:00And again, I insist.
10:02And the committee of the region and the president gave our support to the French mayor
10:06and the French citizen.
10:07But there is something at European level we have to see.
10:10This does not happen without foreign interference.
10:14That is certain.
10:15Okay.
10:16Patrick Mullinos, thank you so much for joining us this morning.
10:19Now, Beyond France, people have also been taking to the streets of Spain,
10:22Portugal and Italy to protest over the cost of living crisis and rising fuel prices.
10:27Unions want lower prices, higher pensions and more money in their pockets.
10:31For the view from industry here, I'm joined now by Michael O'Leary,
10:34CEO of Europe's largest and most profitable airline group at Ryanair.
10:38Good morning, Michael O'Leary.
10:39Morning, Maeve.
10:39Great pleasure to be here.
10:40Lovely to have you.
10:41Look, when you see the wave of protests and industrial strikes all across Europe
10:45as the CEO of such a successful company, do you relate to these concerns?
10:49I do.
10:50I mean, you know, we live in Europe where, you know, we have fundamentally failed to be competitive.
10:56You know, the Draghi report is two years old.
10:58It is sat on the shelf gathering dust.
11:00Ursula von der Leyen talks about competitiveness and does absolutely nothing about it.
11:05You look at our sector in air transport, which has been one of the great successes of the European Union.
11:09The deregulation, liberalisation of air travel brought about the growth of low-fair airlines like Ryanair.
11:14You can now fly across the continent for 50 euros.
11:16It is one of the very few industries where we out-compete the Americans.
11:20They're ahead of us in AI.
11:21They're ahead of us in IT.
11:22When it comes to air travel, we're much cheaper in Europe than they are in the US.
11:26And yet, what are we doing?
11:27We're raising environmental taxes on air travel, which results in higher fares.
11:31You have that ship of fools in the European Parliament redesigning more regulations designed to increase the cost of air
11:37travel.
11:38When consumers want lower fares, we keep growing every year because consumers want what we deliver, which is really low
11:44-fare, affordable air travel.
11:45And yet, our politicians and our regulators here in Europe add complexity, add regulation and add cost to consumers' lives.
11:53And these wave of protests, as you can see, consumers are feeling the pinch.
11:57They want more money in their pocket.
11:58Is this really just a taste of what is to come?
12:00Because, as you say, we're not very competitive here in Europe.
12:03We're an ageing continent.
12:05Well, that doesn't mean we can't be more competitive yet.
12:07You have the AI bringing about a huge, large growth in efficiency.
12:13We can be more competitive.
12:14I mean, I'm here in Brussels today.
12:16You know, unfortunately, I'm announcing Ryanair's winter schedule.
12:19This winter, we're cutting a million seats out of Belgium.
12:21We're reducing our capacity in Zaventum and Charlewell.
12:25We're going to reduce by 20 routes this winter.
12:27Why? Because the Deweyver government has increased air travel from two euros per ticket to seven euros per ticket.
12:34And as the Belgians increase air taxes on air travel, the Slovakians, the Swedes, the Italians, the Hungarians have abolished
12:41air travel.
12:42We're moving aircraft to those countries who are competitive.
12:45Belgium is not competitive.
12:47France is not competitive.
12:48Germany is hopelessly uncompetitive.
12:50And yet the way forward is to reduce the tax burden on our citizens and do that by driving down
12:56the tax on air travel.
12:56So what's your message to France and Belgium?
12:58Get more efficient.
12:59Stop raising taxes.
13:01Consumers around Europe, citizens around Europe want lower taxes, particularly on things like air travel, so they can travel affordably,
13:07meet friends and family across Europe.
13:10And we have a scandal in Europe.
13:12We tax, we apply environmental taxes only to intra-EU flights.
13:16We don't tax the Americans.
13:17We don't tax the Asians.
13:19We don't tax the Chinese.
13:20They can, despite the fact that their flights account for more than 53% of Europe's CO2 emissions, we exempt
13:25them.
13:26You know, nobody would design a stupid system like this other than the European Parliament and Ursula von der Leyen.
13:31If you're serious about competitiveness, tax the Americans when they land here in Europe.
13:35We should have a fair and reasonable environmental tax on all flights landing.
13:39But they're afraid to go there, right?
13:39They don't want to go there.
13:40Of course they're afraid to go there.
13:41Sure, Ursula von der Leyen's afraid to do anything except talk.
13:44You know, she's useless.
13:46We have, Europe has a roadmap for being more competitive.
13:49It's called the Draghi Report.
13:51Two years later, not one of its recommendations has been implemented.
13:54And Ursula von der Leyen hides in the Berlimont doing nothing except giving speeches.
13:58If the Draghi Report was implemented, how could Europe look?
14:01We would be a dramatically more efficient society.
14:05I mean, if you look at air travel, they said, look, we should reduce the environmental tax burden on air
14:10travel, which is absolutely sensible.
14:12And we should reform ATC in Europe.
14:15ATC in Europe accounts for more than 90% of flight delays.
14:18And yet the airlines have to provide compensation and right-to-care expenses for passengers because of those delays.
14:24But we're not allowed to recover those costs from the people who cause over 90% of the delays, which
14:29is air traffic control.
14:30Why has there been no reform of air traffic control for 20 years in Europe?
14:34Because we have useless politicians like von der Leyen talking about being competitive, but doing nothing about it.
14:40And meanwhile, the reality for consumers, for those who like to catch a plane, airfares are going up.
14:44And they'll keep going up.
14:46Well, I mean, they won't necessarily keep, they're going to go significantly up in the next 12 months for two
14:50reasons.
14:50One, because of the higher cost of fuel.
14:52We're hedged in Reiner this year at about $67 a barrel.
14:55Next year, our oil price will double.
14:57And the second reason airfares are going up is because of increases in ETS, environmental taxation, on only intra-European
15:04flights, while we exempt all the American flights, the Asian flights.
15:07But that's a reality you can't just ignore either.
15:09Of course, it's not a reality.
15:10The reality is, if you want to fly to Europe, if you want to land and take off in Europe,
15:14the Americans, the Asians, the Chinese should pay their fair share.
15:17We shouldn't be exempting them who create the greatest amount of emissions, while we only tax the poor, dumb European
15:23citizens travelling around visiting friends and family.
15:26And are you planning a surcharge for the fuel?
15:28No, no, we will.
15:29Down Reiner, we guarantee no fuel surcharges.
15:31But there is no doubt that airfares are going to rise significantly in 2027 because of much higher oil prices.
15:37OK, Michael O'Leary, CEO of Reiner.
15:39Thank you so much.
15:39Thank you, mate.
15:40Great to be here.
15:40On Euronews.
15:41Now, moving on to Ukraine, where two children were among the victims of a Russian drone strike on a park
15:47in the Kharkiv region yesterday.
15:49It comes as Vladimir Putin has reportedly proposed a three-way summit with Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping next
15:56month to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, potentially without Kiev at the table.
16:02For more on what exactly is behind this announcement, I'm joined this morning by our Ukraine correspondent, Sasha Vakilina.
16:08Good morning.
16:08So what do we know about this proposed summit and how has Ukraine been responding?
16:13Well, the Kremlin confirmed that Putin would like to have this trilateral summit with Donald Trump and China's President Xi.
16:19But there has been no reaction yet from Washington except the fact that, of course, the United States and the
16:23Trump administration has been putting more pressure on Ukraine and on Kiev over the past week or so regarding making
16:29concessions.
16:29And it also concerns the possible and reported limitations when it comes to the deliveries of Patriot ballistic missiles interceptors
16:38that Ukraine really, really needs with Russia launching at times 39 ballistic missiles at Kiev just overnight.
16:44And also with the reported cuts regarding the Starlink connection.
16:49Now, Ukraine's foreign minister, Andrei Sebiha, was very careful speaking about this possible trilateral summit when he said a trilateral
16:55meeting between the leaders of Ukraine, the U.S. and Russia could help end the war sooner.
16:59A trilateral meeting between the leaders of Russia, China and the U.S. would do only the opposite, encourage Putin
17:05to continue this war.
17:06And meanwhile, of course, Sasha, we've seen President Trump defending his approach to Moscow, arguing that Russia is doing very
17:12little to help Iran.
17:13But what exactly is Moscow saying?
17:15Well, Moscow did speak as well just hours, in fact, after Donald Trump's statement about the fact that Russia is
17:20not helping Iran.
17:22Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, said that Russia is supporting Iran.
17:26In fact, he actually compared Russia's war against Ukraine with Iran's fight, saying both have, quote, just cause.
17:35And Lavrov also said that Russia intends to continue its support to Iran, despite the fact that Donald Trump said
17:41no, and that Russia is actually helping to normalise and to balance the diesel world market.
17:47Moscow says it's going to help Iran more.
17:49OK, Sasha, Vekalina, thank you so much for that.
17:51And, of course, we can read more of your reporting on yournews.com, or you can download our apps or
17:56visit us on social media.
