00:30Unprecedented violence, the French Prime Minister has called for local and partial curfews.
00:35Sébastien Le Corneau says he is ready to declare a state of emergency if needed.
00:40The Interior Minister also admitted he lost control of the situation
00:44and that authorities from Lyon to Paris were overwhelmed.
00:47Plus, in Italy, Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney has held emergency security talks
00:52after protests over the cost of living turned into violent clashes in Milan.
00:57Truck drivers from Barrie to Palermo have been blocking roads and key transport hubs
01:01to protest against rising costs of fertilisers, seeds and fuel.
01:06Meanwhile, heavy storms and torrential downpours have battered parts of eastern Spain,
01:12triggering flash floods and turning streets into rushing rivers.
01:15Multiple regions remain on high alert,
01:18especially given the painful memory of the devastating Dana flood
01:21that struck just two years ago before people have already lost their lives.
01:26And, Europeans will have to face at least another year of elevated fuel costs
01:31and higher airfares due to the ongoing unrest in the Middle East.
01:34That's according to the Ryanair CEO, Michael O'Leary,
01:37who will be live with us here in the studio.
01:39But first, to Paris, where the political blame game continues
01:43over who is responsible for the weekend's unrest.
01:46The Prime Minister has accused the ultra-left movement
01:48of seeking to, quote, orchestrate deep unrest
01:51in the run-up to next year's presidential elections.
01:54For the latest, we can head over now to Paris
01:56and bring in our correspondent, Estelle Nelson-Julien,
01:59who's been covering the student protests since they began,
02:01as well as all the violence over the weekend.
02:03Good morning, Estelle. Great to have you with us.
02:05So, after the chaos of the weekend,
02:07what is the situation like this Tuesday morning?
02:12Well, good morning.
02:13It's fair to say that the situation is much calmer on the ground this morning.
02:18Curfews were in place across the country yesterday
02:21and in the immediate vicinity of the area I am standing in,
02:25in the centre of Paris, close to the Place de la République.
02:27In certain areas, such as in Nice, in the south of France,
02:30there was also a curfew strictly restricted to minors, to young people.
02:35So, it's fair to say that the things are calmer,
02:39but there is still a raw sense on the ground.
02:42As I walked here to where I'm standing,
02:44I walked through shattered glass.
02:46Many shops were still boarded up.
02:47So, a lot of businesses are, of course,
02:50still quite literally picking up the pieces.
02:52And what's it been like for you covering these protests
02:55as a journalist on the ground?
02:57Just this weekend, both you and your cameraman were assaulted and attacked.
03:03Yes, so, it's been difficult and violent riots to cover
03:07over the course of the weekend.
03:09So, it was outside this supermarket just behind me,
03:11a few steps away from the Place de la République,
03:14where the major protests began on Saturday afternoon.
03:18And as we filmed rioters who were attempting to loot this supermarket
03:23and smash it open with a hammer,
03:24we were encircled by a group of teenagers, young adults,
03:29many of them who were masked and who we could not recognise.
03:33And they proceeded to try and rob our equipment.
03:36They violently assaulted my cameraman,
03:38who was very brave and thankfully was protected
03:41because he was wearing a facial protection,
03:43including a gas mask and eye mask.
03:46But it was a very tense incident
03:47and my cameraman was very brave.
03:51And it's not an isolated incident.
03:53We've seen many other journalists from a number of outlets
03:56reporting both intimidation and violence.
04:01Yes, it's been over the course of the student movement,
04:04I have faced a lot of angry students
04:06who've told me that they don't trust the media,
04:08that they don't want journalists reporting on the protests,
04:11that they believe the media hasn't been fair in its coverage
04:14and that it's only shown instances of violence
04:16rather than also talking about student demands.
04:19And then in the case of the rioters,
04:22it was a different, whole new level of violence
04:25that we saw on the ground.
04:26And I must also remind our viewers
04:28that there were calls on social media
04:30from the Yellow Vest movement
04:32to go outside and protest
04:34and cut off the so-called,
04:35what they labelled as propaganda media.
04:38And they called for protesters
04:39to stand outside various media outlets in Paris
04:44and demonstrate there.
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.
04:55OK, so Nielsen, Julianne, they're reporting from Paris.
04:57Thank you so much for your work.
04:59Now, six years of hard work,
05:01gone in one single night.
05:03That's the reality for Odelia Sitbon,
05:05a pharmacist near Paris' Place de l'École publique.
05:07Last 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
05:16about how to raise her three kids,
05:18Odelia shared her story
05:19with Euronews' Valerie Tocchia.
05:23The scale of the damage is immense.
05:25Everything is destroyed, everything.
05:27I have no stock left.
05:28They burned it all.
05:29I don't even understand
05:30how someone could set on fire the building
05:33when they are homes above it.
05:34Upstairs is my pharmacy storage area.
05:36Even if they wanted to steal,
05:38the stock was right there.
05:39But instead, they burned everything.
05:42Are 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
05:56just 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
06:10the high cost of living
06:11by tearing down light fixtures?
06:13By smashing up a robot?
06:15Well, a pharmacy robot
06:16costs 150.000 bucks.
06:18And in my opinion, it's ruined.
06:19I haven't even been able
06:21to 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?
06:29No one protected us.
06:30To see your life's work destroyed like this?
06:32There's nothing worse.
06:38And since all that looting and violence,
06:40French retailers now face hundreds
06:42of millions of euros in damage.
06:44From small boutiques to luxury shops
06:46on the high streets,
06:47all types were targeted by theft and vandalism,
06:49with the Galerie Lafayette Group
06:50reporting significant consequences
06:52for the vast majority of their shops
06:54all across the country.
06:56From the new view now from the ground,
06:57we can bring in Patrick Molonese.
06:59He's the vice president
07:00of the French Mayor's Association
07:01and also a member
07:02of 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
07:08from the capital there,
07:10but what's it like for smaller towns
07:12and, of course, Dijon,
07:13the capital of your region?
07:16Well, it depends on some smaller towns.
07:19I mean, the real rural areas
07:20are quite calm, actually.
07:22It's mainly in major cities
07:24that the bad things happen
07:26because it's actually coordinated action
07:29from extremists
07:31that has nothing to do
07:32with normal protesters.
07:33So let's say in the countryside,
07:35things are pretty quiet.
07:36But there's a real blame game
07:38going on now politically,
07:39and we know it's a tense time in France
07:40with presidential elections
07:41coming up next year.
07:43You're from the radical party of the left.
07:45We've seen the prime minister
07:46blaming the so-called left
07:48for this violence.
07:49How do you react to that?
07:51Well, the radical left
07:52is a centre-left party,
07:54I should say.
07:55So the name doesn't tell it all.
07:57So we're a centre-left party,
07:58but that's not the question.
07:59The question is,
08:00there is a real difference
08:02between protesters
08:03who want just to say,
08:06well, what they complain about,
08:08and that's completely legitimate.
08:10But what happened,
08:12the destruction,
08:13the town hall attack,
08:14and everything,
08:14this is most probably
08:17the fact of extremists,
08:19extreme right and extreme left.
08:20And I personally believe,
08:22and we will have evidence of that
08:24in a very short time,
08:25I'm sure,
08:26that there are also
08:27foreign interference
08:28in this matter.
08:29Definitely on social media,
08:32Russian interference
08:33is quite certain,
08:35and maybe not only Russian,
08:37and maybe also physically.
08:40I mean,
08:40some of the attacks
08:41were planned.
08:43You don't come into the city
08:45and destroy,
08:48dismantle
08:49some physical equipment
08:51without training.
08:52It's not the fact
08:52of just people getting angry.
08:55That is not true.
08:56That is not possible.
08:57But these images,
08:57of course,
08:58of the violence,
08:58the vandalism,
08:59they've overshadowed
09:00the whole story here,
09:01which began really
09:02with young people
09:03protesting
09:03over school conditions
09:05and struggling
09:06with their day-to-day issues.
09:07What are the core structural problems
09:09facing France today
09:10and how can they be addressed?
09:12Well,
09:13there are problems
09:14all the time.
09:15I mean,
09:15we're all in an
09:17implementing situation.
09:19I mean,
09:19everyone wants to
09:20have a better life tomorrow.
09:21One of the problems
09:22nowadays is that
09:23looking at the future
09:24on a bright way
09:26is getting harder and harder.
09:27So,
09:28some student protests
09:29about the system
09:30that classifies them
09:31to go to university.
09:32Some complain about
09:34about how their lyse,
09:36their schools,
09:37or their university
09:39are in good
09:40or not so good shape.
09:42But overall,
09:43it's a normal protest
09:45at the beginning.
09:46But of course,
09:46six months before
09:49the presidential election,
09:50some people have interest
09:51to make things
09:52get harder and harder.
09:54So,
09:55from a normal
09:55and legitimate
09:57protestation,
09:57we're getting to something
09:59that is completely different.
10:00And again,
10:01I insist,
10:02and the committee
10:02of the region
10:03and the president
10:04gave her support
10:05to the French mayor
10:06and the French citizen.
10:07But there is something
10:09at European level
10:10we have to see.
10:10This does not happen
10:12without foreign interference.
10:14That is certain.
10:15Okay.
10:16Patrick Molnos,
10:16thank you so much
10:17for joining us
10:17this morning.
10:19Now,
10:19Beyond France,
10:19people have also been
10:20taking to the streets
10:21of Spain,
10:22Portugal,
10:22and Italy
10:23to protest
10:24over the cost of living crisis
10:25and rising fuel prices.
10:27Unions want lower prices,
10:28higher pensions,
10:29and more money
10:30in their pockets.
10:31for the view from industry here.
10:32I'm joined now
10:33by Michael O'Leary,
10:34CEO of Europe's largest
10:35and most profitable
10:36airline group,
10:37Ryanair.
10:38Good morning,
10:38Michael O'Leary.
10:39Morning, Maeve.
10:39Great pleasure to be here.
10:40Lovely to have you.
10:41Look,
10:41when you see the wave
10:42of protests
10:43and industrial strikes
10:44all across Europe
10:45as the CEO
10:45of such a successful company,
10:47do you relate
10:48to these concerns?
10:49I do.
10:50I mean,
10:50you know,
10:50we live in Europe
10:53where,
10:54you know,
10:54we have fundamentally
10:55failed to be competitive.
10:56You know,
10:57the Draghi report
10:57is two years old.
10:58It is sat on the shelf
10:59gathering dust.
11:00Ursula von der Leyen
11:01talks about competitiveness
11:03and does absolutely
11:03nothing about it.
11:05You look at our sector
11:06in air transport,
11:07which has been
11:07one of the great successes
11:08of the European Union,
11:09the deregulation,
11:10liberalisation of air travel,
11:11brought about the growth
11:12of low-fair airlines
11:13like Ryanair.
11:14You can now fly across
11:15the continent
11:15for 50 euros.
11:16It is one of the very few
11:18industries where we
11:18out-compete the Americans.
11:20They're ahead of us
11:20in AI,
11:21they're ahead of us
11:22in IT.
11:22When it comes to air travel,
11:24we're much cheaper in Europe
11:25than they are in the US.
11:26And yet,
11:26what are we doing?
11:27We're raising
11:28environmental taxes
11:29on air travel,
11:30which results in higher fares.
11:31You have that ship of fools
11:33in the European Parliament
11:34redesigning more regulations
11:36designed to increase
11:37the cost of air travel
11:38when consumers
11:39want lower fares.
11:40We keep growing every year
11:42because consumers
11:42want what we deliver,
11:43which is really low-fare,
11:44affordable air travel.
11:45And yet,
11:46our politicians
11:47and our regulators
11:48here in Europe
11:49add complexity,
11:50add regulation,
11:51and add cost
11:52to consumers' lives.
11:53And these wave of protests,
11:54as you can see,
11:55consumers are feeling
11:56the pinch.
11:57They want more money
11:58in their pocket.
11:58Is this really just a taste
11:59of what is to come?
12:00Because as you say,
12:01we're not very competitive
12:02here in Europe.
12:03We're an ageing continent.
12:05That doesn't mean
12:06we can't be more competitive.
12:07You have the AI
12:08bringing about
12:09huge,
12:11large growth
12:12in efficiency.
12:13We can be more competitive.
12:14I mean,
12:15I'm here in Brussels today,
12:16you know,
12:16unfortunately,
12:17I'm announcing
12:17Reiner's winter schedule.
12:19This winter,
12:19we're cutting a million seats
12:20out of Belgium.
12:21We're reducing our capacity
12:23in Zaventum
12:24and Charlebois.
12:25We're going to reduce
12:26by 20 routes this winter.
12:27Why?
12:27Because the De Weivre government
12:30has increased air travel
12:31from 2 euros per ticket
12:32to 7 euros per ticket.
12:34And as the Belgians
12:35increase
12:35air taxes
12:36on air travel,
12:38the Slovakians,
12:39the Swedes,
12:39the Italians,
12:40the Hungarians
12:41have abolished air travel.
12:42We're moving aircraft
12:43to those countries
12:44who are competitive.
12:45Belgium is not competitive.
12:47France is not competitive.
12:48Germany is hopelessly
12:49uncompetitive.
12:50and yet the way forward
12:51is to reduce
12:52the tax burden
12:53on our citizens
12:54and do that
12:55by driving down
12:56the tax on air travel.
12:57So what's your message
12:57to France and Belgium?
12:58Get more efficient.
12:59Stop raising taxes.
13:01Consumers around Europe,
13:02citizens around Europe
13:03want lower taxes,
13:04particularly on things
13:04like air travel
13:05so they can travel
13:06affordably,
13:07meet friends and family
13:08across Europe.
13:10And we have a scandal
13:11in Europe.
13:12We tax,
13:13we apply environmental taxes
13:14only 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.
13:19They can,
13:20despite the fact
13:21that their flights
13:21account for more than
13:2253% of Europe's
13:24CO2 emissions,
13:25we exempt them.
13:26You know,
13:26nobody would design
13:27a stupid system like this
13:29other than the European Parliament
13:30and Ursula von der Leyen.
13:31If you're serious
13:32about competitiveness,
13:33tax the Americans
13:34when they land here in Europe.
13:35We should have
13:35a fair and reasonable
13:36environmental tax
13:37on all flights landing.
13:38But they're afraid
13:39to go there, right?
13:39They don't want to go there.
13:40Of course they're afraid
13:40to go there.
13:41Sure, Ursula von der Leyen
13:42is afraid to do anything
13:43except talk.
13:44You know,
13:45she's useless.
13:47Europe has a roadmap
13:48for being more competitive.
13:49It's called
13:50the Draghi Report.
13:51Two years later,
13:52not one of its recommendations
13:53has been implemented.
13:54And Ursula von der Leyen
13:55hides in the Berlin Mall
13:57doing nothing
13:57except giving speeches.
13:58If the Draghi Report
13:59was implemented,
14:00how could Europe look?
14:01We would be a dramatically
14:02more efficient society.
14:05I mean,
14:05if you look at air travel,
14:06they said,
14:07look,
14:07we should reduce
14:08the environmental tax burden
14:09on air travel,
14:10which is absolutely sensible,
14:11and we should reform
14:12ATC in Europe.
14:15ATC in Europe
14:16accounts for more than
14:1790% of flight delays.
14:18And yet the airlines
14:20have to provide compensation
14:21and right-to-care expenses
14:22for passengers
14:23because of those delays.
14:24But we're not allowed
14:25to recover those costs
14:26from the people
14:27who cause over 90%
14:28of the delays,
14:29which is air traffic control.
14:30Why has there been
14:30no reform of air traffic control
14:32for 20 years in Europe?
14:34Because we have
14:34useless politicians
14:35like von der Leyen
14:36talking about being competitive
14:38but doing nothing about it.
14:40And meanwhile,
14:40the reality for consumers,
14:42for those who like
14:42to catch a plane,
14:43airfares are going up
14:44and they'll keep going up.
14:46Well,
14:46I mean,
14:46they won't necessarily keep,
14:47they're going to go
14:48significantly up
14:49in the next 12 months
14:49for two reasons.
14:50One,
14:50because of the higher
14:51cost of fuel.
14:52We're hedged in Reiner
14:53this year at about
14:54$67 a barrel.
14:55Next year,
14:56our oil price will double.
14:57And the second reason
14:58airfares are going up
14:59is because of increases
15:00in ETS,
15:01environmental taxation,
15:02on only intra-European
15:04flights,
15:04while we exempt
15:05all the American flights,
15:06the Asian flights.
15:07But that's a reality
15:08you can't just ignore either.
15:09Of course,
15:09it's not a reality.
15:10The reality is,
15:11if you want to fly to Europe,
15:13if you want to land
15:13and take off in Europe,
15:14the Americans,
15:14the Asians,
15:15the Chinese,
15:16should pay their fair share.
15:17We shouldn't be exempting them
15:19who create the greatest
15:20amount of emissions
15:21while we only tax
15:22the poor,
15:23dumb European citizens
15:24travelling around
15:25visiting friends and family.
15:26And are you planning
15:27a surcharge for the fuel?
15:28No,
15:28no,
15:29we will.
15:29Down Reiner,
15:30we guarantee no fuel surcharges,
15:31but there is no doubt
15:32that airfares are going to rise
15:33significantly in 2027
15:35because of much higher oil prices.
15:37Okay,
15:38Michael O'Leary,
15:38CEO of Reiner,
15:39thank you so much
15:39for coming on.
15:40Great to be here.
15:40On your own use.
15:42Now moving on to Ukraine,
15:44where two children
15:44were among the victims
15:45of a Russian drone strike
15:47on a park
15:47in the Kharkiv region yesterday.
15:49It comes as Vladimir Putin
15:51has reportedly proposed
15:53a three-way summit
15:54with Donald Trump
15:55and China's Xi Jinping
15:56next month
15:57to discuss ending
15:58the war in Ukraine,
16:00potentially without Kiev
16:01at the table.
16:02For more on what exactly
16:03is behind this announcement,
16:05I'm joined this morning
16:05by our Ukraine correspondent,
16:07Sasha Vakilina.
16:08Good morning.
16:09So what do we know
16:09about this proposed summit
16:11and how has Ukraine
16:12been responding?
16:12Well, the Kremlin confirmed
16:14that Putin would like
16:14to have this trilateral summit
16:16with Donald Trump
16:18and China's President Xi,
16:19but there's been no reaction
16:21yet from Washington
16:21except the fact that,
16:22of course,
16:22the United States
16:23and the Trump administration
16:24has been putting more pressure
16:25on Ukraine and on Kiev
16:26over the past week or so
16:28regarding making concessions.
16:30And it also concerns
16:31the possible and reported
16:32limitations
16:33when it comes to
16:34the deliveries
16:34of Patriot
16:36ballistic missiles,
16:37interceptors
16:38that Ukraine really,
16:39really needs
16:39with Russia launching
16:40at times 39 ballistic missiles
16:43at Kiev just overnight
16:44and also with the reported
16:46cuts regarding
16:47the Starlink connection.
16:49Now, Ukraine's foreign minister,
16:50Andrei Sebiha,
16:51was very careful speaking
16:52about this possible
16:53trilateral summit
16:54when he said
16:54a trilateral meeting
16:55between the leaders
16:56of Ukraine,
16:57the US and Russia
16:58could help end the war sooner.
16:59A trilateral meeting
17:00between the leaders
17:01of Russia, China
17:02and the US
17:03would do only the opposite,
17:04encourage Putin
17:05to continue this war.
17:06And meanwhile,
17:07of course, Sasha,
17:07we've seen President Trump
17:08defending his approach
17:09to Moscow,
17:10arguing that Russia
17:11is doing very little
17:12to help Iran.
17:13But what exactly
17:14is Moscow saying?
17:15Well, Moscow did speak
17:17as well just hours,
17:18in fact,
17:18after Donald Trump's
17:19statement about the fact
17:20that Russia is not
17:21helping Iran.
17:22Russia's foreign minister,
17:24Sergei Lavrov,
17:24said that Russia
17:25is supporting Iran.
17:26In fact,
17:26he actually compared
17:28Russia's war
17:29against Ukraine
17:30with Iran's fight,
17:32saying both have,
17:33quote,
17:33just cause.
17:35And Lavrov also said
17:36that Russia intends
17:37to continue its support
17:38to Iran,
17:40despite the fact
17:40that Donald Trump
17:41said no,
17:41and that Russia
17:42is actually helping
17:43to normalise
17:44and to balance
17:45the diesel world market.
17:47Moscow says
17:47it's going to help
17:48Iran more.
17:49OK, Sasha,
17:50Vekalina,
