03:05because there are difficulties also in everyday life for many French people.
03:11So my political party, Rassemblement National, of course, wants to improve everyday life of people in France.
03:18But we want to improve the life of honest people.
03:21But what we have witnessed over the past weekend is something different
03:26because there were many people coming from suburbs to loot shops,
03:32to destroy private property, even to destroy or to loot private houses and apartments.
03:42So this is something completely different that requires a firm response from the government.
03:48And so far, the French government and President Emmanuel Macron have not really addressed the problem.
03:56And do we have proof, Fabrice Legere, of who is responsible for the violence and vandalism?
04:00This talk of foreign interference, is there proof yet of this?
04:07Sorry, can you say it again? I don't understand.
04:10Do we have any proof? No problem.
04:12Do we have any proof of who is responsible for the violence and the vandalism?
04:17Is there any proof of foreign interference here?
04:22Well, there are footages and there are videos showing the profile of looters.
04:30There are, well, ongoing investigations.
04:34When we see foreign flags, you know,
04:39unfortunately, many people got used to seeing Palestinian flags, Algerian flags.
04:46So this is, of course, the symbol of foreign, I don't know if this is foreign interference,
04:55but at least it means that some of the people gathered during these violent riots,
05:03they don't like France, they hate France,
05:07they hate the country where most of them were born.
05:11So have integration policies failed in France?
05:17Of course, it has failed,
05:19but what has failed is also the, well,
05:22there was not a controlled migration policy.
05:28So we need to draw the conclusions,
05:31I mean, the government needs to draw the conclusions from that failure.
05:35Of course, Rassemblement National, Marine Le Pen, Jordan Bardella,
05:39we have a proposal to French voters.
05:42We want to take back control over migration,
05:44but unfortunately, the failures of the past have consequences now, today.
05:49And this requires as well a firm response from the French judiciary.
05:55We also want to improve legislation in France.
06:00We want to have minimum sanctions, criminal sanctions.
06:04So there is a maximum in the criminal court,
06:06but there should be also a minimum.
06:09Okay, of course, Fabrice Algeri.
06:10And the reality in France is we see over 25% of under 30s at risk,
06:14of course, of poverty or social exclusion.
06:17So really root issues there.
06:19But Fabrice Algeri, thank you so much for speaking to us there.
06:21From Strasbourg and now from France to Athens,
06:24where teachers along with university and high school students
06:26are planning a series of actions today
06:28in Greece's main cities to protest against the cost of living crisis,
06:33the lack of housing and low wages.
06:35For more, let's go straight to Athens
06:36and bring in our correspondent Apostolos Stikas.
06:39So, Apostolos, have these protests been inspired by the French
06:43and what are the main concerns for the Greeks?
06:47Good morning from Athens, Maeve.
06:49I was here yesterday afternoon and there were 50 to 60 tents.
06:53But during the night, the police removed all of them
06:56because the government says that Athens won't become Paris.
07:00Now, today we expect more than 50 demonstrations across the country.
07:05And about the imitation thing,
07:07well, the Greek students, they are certainly inspired
07:11by what is happening in Italy, France, of course, Albania.
07:14but they do not really imitate
07:16because we have considerable experience in demonstrating in Greece
07:21and unfortunately on violent classes as well.
07:24Now, what do they want?
07:26I mean, if you have to pay around 500 euros
07:30for an old house in Athens in order to study
07:32and if you make around 1,000 euros,
07:34you cannot live in the city.
07:37You cannot expect to pay your bills, your rent
07:40and then to make a living.
07:42This is the main argument.
07:43and, of course, there are other issues such as corruption.
07:46We don't have the same problem like in Albania
07:50or the same demand, the resignation of the government.
07:53But yet, the cost of living is the first issue
07:56but there is another broader agenda, let's say.
08:00As for the riots,
08:02allow me to remind you that in 2008,
08:04Athens was on fire for two weeks
08:05because a teenager was murdered by a police officer.
08:08One year later, we had the economic crisis,
08:11the debt crisis
08:11and huge crowds were demonstrating in Athens
08:14against the IMF, the European Union
08:16and the austerity programs.
08:18So, the images that we receive from France,
08:22they are striking
08:23but not really shocking for the Greek audience.
08:27So, cost of living and better quality of studies,
08:31that is the thing that we need to keep
08:32from the students' demo here in Athens
08:34and this is the main message for today's demos as well.
08:39Okay, Apostola Stikas
08:41and it's worth pointing out to our viewers
08:42that elections will be taking place, of course, as well
08:44very soon in Greece, just like over in France.
08:47But moving on to Brussels blues.
08:50The EU wants to spend more on defence,
08:52competitiveness and energy security
08:54but there's just one problem.
08:55The money is not there.
08:57After last week's EU summit,
08:59the battle over the bloc's next-term long-term budget
09:01is just getting tougher
09:03and EU member states are divided.
09:05Germany, as the EU's biggest contributor,
09:07will be at the centre of that fight.
09:10For more, EU News' Stefan Krohbe
09:11sat down with Germany's ambassador
09:13to the European Union,
09:15that's Thomas Hans-Ovsovsky
09:16and started by asking him
09:18whether the European Union
09:19is actually trying to build a budget
09:20that they cannot afford.
09:22The EU is building a budget
09:25which we need for the 21st century.
09:28But obviously, the Commission proposal
09:31was far too high.
09:33And so Germany expects that
09:36this budget is being cut
09:38by at least
09:39several hundreds of billions of euros.
09:42Now, the Irish presidency
09:44put a new proposal on the table,
09:47a nego box,
09:48which was already cut by 140 billion.
09:51So I would say
09:52we are not there yet.
09:53but we are now on a way
09:57to kind of try to find an agreement
10:02but more cuts will be definitely necessary.
10:06How much money is Germany prepared
10:08to put on the table?
10:10What we need is a budget
10:12which is sustainable in financial terms
10:15and also sustainable in terms of content.
10:19So we need a modernized budget,
10:22a budget which focuses on competitiveness,
10:25on innovation, on research,
10:27on defense and security,
10:30on Ukraine, of course.
10:32And of course,
10:33we have these traditional expenditures
10:35like agriculture and cohesion.
10:37So now, basically,
10:39we have to build upon this new structure,
10:43but it is still the overall amounts
10:45which are contested.
10:46and as I said,
10:48Germany needs,
10:49and we are not alone.
10:50We have a few partners,
10:51you know,
10:52the so-called modernizers
10:53to cut it down.
10:54Frugals.
10:56Modernizers.
10:56Modernizers, okay.
10:58If the member states refuse
11:00to increase their contributions,
11:03would Germany be prepared
11:05to accept new common borrowing?
11:10No, definitely not new common borrowing
11:13because we believe
11:15if we go down this path,
11:17we lose our sovereignty.
11:20What we need to do
11:21is to build upon what is affordable.
11:24We are not ready
11:25into looking into taxing
11:27European companies
11:29now at the European level
11:30because we believe
11:31this is adding insight to injury.
11:33We want to keep European companies here
11:36in the internal market
11:37and not discourage them
11:39and to invest them somewhere else.
11:41On top of the 90 billion loan
11:44that is already earmarked for Ukraine,
11:47the country would need
11:49several billion,
11:52additional billion euros
11:54for the war effort.
11:56Does that mean that European farmers
11:59and families
12:01and other beneficiaries
12:02will have to get less
12:03so that Ukraine can get more?
12:05No, this doesn't mean that
12:07because anyhow,
12:09the money which we provide
12:10for Ukraine,
12:12particularly the 90 billion
12:13which were made available
12:15this year,
12:15are outside
12:16of the regular European budget.
12:19This is something,
12:20it's a loan
12:20which we organized
12:21with the help of the headroom,
12:23the so-called headroom
12:24of the multi-annual financial framework,
12:26so it's outside of the budget.
12:27But one thing is very clear,
12:30the leaders also reaffirmed
12:31their continued support
12:32to Ukraine.
12:33So we will continue
12:35to support Ukraine
12:36to exercise
12:37its right of self-defense
12:39against the war
12:40of aggression by Russia.
12:42Let me repeat that.
12:43So Germany is prepared
12:44to keep Ukraine afloat
12:46financially,
12:47come what may.
12:48Germany stands
12:49with Ukraine
12:50and the European Union
12:51stands with Ukraine.
12:53But of course,
12:53we also expect
12:54from our international partners,
12:55the G7,
12:56also to stand
12:57with Ukraine.
12:58and about the details
13:00of the support
13:01leaders will have
13:03to discuss now.
13:06Now moving on to Oslo,
13:08where US Special Envoy
13:10Steve Witkoff
13:10held talks
13:11with Ukraine's President
13:12Volodymyr Zelensky
13:13and a selection
13:14of European leaders.
13:15Today,
13:16he'll be moving on
13:16to Russia
13:17for further talks
13:18with Moscow officials
13:19aimed at ending
13:20the war in Ukraine.
13:21The meeting comes
13:22amid efforts
13:23to mend
13:23a deepening rift
13:24between Kyiv
13:25and Washington
13:26following a sharp
13:27deterioration
13:28in relations
13:28over US support
13:29for Ukraine
13:30and the Trump
13:31administration's
13:32approach to Moscow.
13:33For more,
13:33we're joined here
13:34on set by
13:34our Ukraine correspondent,
13:36Sasha Vakalina.
13:37Good morning.
13:37Tell us,
13:38did anything come out
13:38of Oslo
13:39and is there any sign
13:40of a breakthrough?
13:41Well,
13:41it's actually a very good sign
13:42that these talks
13:43did take place
13:44in Oslo,
13:44because this is the continuation
13:46of some sort
13:47of diplomacy.
13:48I mean,
13:48there's, of course,
13:49diplomatic tensions
13:49between Washington
13:50and Kyiv these days.
13:51And there were quite a few
13:52substantial messages.
13:54Now, first of all,
13:54of course,
13:54is the fact
13:55that Volodymyr Zelensky
13:56confirmed that
13:57the United States
13:57restored crucial
13:58early warning
14:00intel sharing,
14:01specifically when it
14:02comes to incoming
14:03Russian ballistic missiles.
14:04This is very important
14:05for the people
14:05because very often
14:06they have less than
14:07one minute on that warning
14:08to trying to seek shelter
14:10to save their lives
14:11and the lives
14:11of their loved ones.
14:12And the second one
14:13also was when Zelensky
14:14said that Washington
14:15confirmed its commitment
14:16to providing security
14:17guarantees to Ukraine.
14:19But that, of course,
14:19is once Russia's war
14:21against Ukraine
14:21is over.
14:22Let's take a listen
14:23to what Volodymyr Zelensky
14:24had to say.
14:24We really discussed
14:26security guarantees
14:27and I'm thankful
14:28to American side
14:29that they underline
14:30again that
14:31it will be strong.
14:33Yes,
14:33and we have
14:34different propositions
14:35and we spoke about,
14:36you know,
14:37that NATO
14:38and Article 5
14:39and Article 5 like
14:41there are
14:41different kinds
14:42of security guarantees
14:43which are in the paper,
14:45yes,
14:45in the document
14:46and which
14:49Steve will
14:50share with
14:51Russians.
14:52we are thankful
14:53that intelligence
14:53works.
14:55Now,
14:55I'm speaking about
14:57early warning
14:58what is very important
14:59for our people,
15:01for children,
15:02adults,
15:03civilians,
15:03because we can hear
15:04when ballistic
15:05is coming,
15:06so we are thankful
15:07to American side.
15:08Now it works.
15:09And has this
15:10diplomatic damage
15:11control in Oslo
15:11managed to ease
15:12tensions between
15:13Kyiv and Washington?
15:14Somehow,
15:15yes,
15:15because we have
15:15to say that,
15:16you know,
15:16after everything
15:17that's been happening
15:17and all these
15:18statements,
15:18fiery statements
15:19coming from both
15:20sides over the
15:21past week or so
15:22now,
15:23I think we can be
15:24rather certain
15:25to say that
15:25the immediate
15:26diplomatic crisis
15:27has somehow
15:28eased up
15:29and that is,
15:30of course,
15:30also interesting
15:31to see how
15:32it happened
15:32because the host
15:33of the meeting
15:33in Norway and
15:34Finland
15:34and Alex Stup
15:35was one of the
15:36probably the most
15:36optimistic voice.
15:37Stup is often
15:38referred to here
15:39in Europe
15:39as one of
15:40Trump's whispers,
15:41so he certainly
15:42put an effort
15:43into trying
15:44to sort this out
15:45and to find
15:46the diplomatic
15:46solution,
15:47although not so,
15:48everything is not
15:48so rosy and
15:49pitchy there,
15:49maybe,
15:50because Steve
15:50Witkow did not
15:51stay for that
15:52joint presser.
15:53We could only
15:53see the three
15:54leaders there.
15:55He did not
15:56stay,
15:56he did not
15:57participate,
15:57he did not
15:58want to get
15:59those questions
15:59and answers,
16:00and he went
16:00straight to
16:01Moscow to
16:02actually bring
16:03whatever was
16:03disclosed in
16:04Oslo to the
16:05Russian authorities
16:05where he is
16:06expected also to
16:07meet
16:07with Russian
16:08President Vladimir
16:09Putin.
16:09But let's take a
16:10listen to what
16:10Alexander Stup had
16:12to say about
16:12these negotiations
16:13and the results
16:15of them.
16:16I think the top
16:17priority of the
16:18U.S.
16:19President Trump,
16:20is to find a
16:20peaceful solution
16:21to Russia's war
16:23aggression in
16:25Ukraine.
16:25And as I said
16:26earlier,
16:27I think on a
16:27substantive and
16:28technical level,
16:29we've actually
16:30made a lot of
16:31progress under the
16:32radar in the
16:34past week or so.
16:36And now I feel
16:37that the process
16:38is back on track
16:39and we'll continue
16:40to work on it
16:41together with our
16:42European friends.
16:44Alexander Stup
16:45there and before
16:46that our
16:46Sasha Fakalina.
16:48Now moving on
16:48to the Arctic,
16:49which has become
16:49the new magnet
16:50for major world
16:51powers as melting
16:52ice opens up
16:53new shipping
16:54routes.
16:54And to keep
16:55afloat here amidst
16:56the U.S.,
16:56China and
16:57Russian interest,
16:58the EU Commission
16:58has just presented
16:59their very own
17:00EU Arctic proposal.
17:02For more,
17:02our Marit Gwynn
17:03spoke to the
17:03EU's head of
17:04international
17:04partnerships,
17:05Joseph Sekela,
17:06and started by
17:07asking,
17:07why now?
17:08We basically
17:09try to reflect
17:11the new Arctic
17:11reality and
17:12the Arctic is
17:13changing very
17:14fast.
17:15This is about
17:15new attention
17:18to security
17:19and defense
17:20aspect,
17:21including the
17:22protection of
17:23the civil
17:23infrastructure.
17:24Of course,
17:25the changes
17:26are also
17:27affecting the
17:28new economic
17:29opportunities,
17:30but everything
17:31what we do,
17:32and this is
17:33basically the
17:33first main
17:35part of the
17:36strategy we want
17:37to do together
17:38with the people
17:39who call
17:39Arctic its
17:40home,
17:41so with
17:42the indigenous
17:43people and
17:43the local
17:44communities.
17:45I want to ask
17:46you about what
17:46the strategy says
17:48about oil and
17:49gas drilling,
17:51because it
17:51maintains the
17:52EU's position
17:53that it wants
17:54a ban on any
17:56drilling in the
17:57Arctic region,
17:58yet the message
17:59from other parts
18:00of the world
18:00is very different.
18:01The message from
18:02the White House
18:02is very clear,
18:03drill, baby,
18:04drill.
18:05Can the EU
18:06maintain this
18:07position when
18:09basically the
18:09rest of the
18:10world is
18:11taking a
18:11completely
18:12different
18:12stance,
18:13and especially
18:13given the
18:14rising price
18:15of energy
18:16right now?
18:17The
18:17sustainability,
18:18the climate
18:19protection,
18:20and the
18:21environmental
18:22protection is
18:23staying the
18:24overarching
18:25principle of
18:26our Arctic
18:27strategy.
18:27And when it
18:28comes to
18:30basically the
18:31plans of
18:32drilling, for
18:33for example
18:33in Greenland,
18:34I'm very much
18:35aware about the
18:36content of the
18:37agreements, and
18:38we follow the
18:39principle that
18:40nothing can happen
18:41without the
18:45local people,
18:47and there is no
18:48preferential
18:48treatment for
18:49U.S.
18:50companies when it
18:52comes to
18:53territory of
18:54Greenland.
18:56So nothing
18:57changed on our
18:58side.
18:59we believe
18:59that basically
19:00the fossil
19:01fuels, the
19:03coal, the
19:04gas, the
19:05oil should
19:07stay in the
19:09ground.
19:09You've pushed
19:10back against
19:11efforts to
19:12cut international
19:13funding as
19:14part of the
19:15EU's next
19:16long-term
19:16budget.
19:17What do you
19:18fear the
19:18consequences
19:19would be if
19:20this part,
19:21this part
19:21called
19:22global
19:22Europe, would
19:23be cut in
19:25the negotiations
19:26now amongst
19:27member states?
19:27Well, I think
19:30the consequences
19:31will be not
19:33only dramatic,
19:34but I tend to
19:34say in certain
19:36areas they might
19:37become even
19:37dystopic.
19:38Look, Europe
19:40is the EU and
19:41the member states
19:42are basically the
19:44biggest supporter
19:45of the development
19:46agenda worldwide,
19:47but the step back
19:49by some of the
19:50other countries
19:52basically is
19:53meanwhile costing
19:54lives.
19:54and there
19:56is a huge
19:57window of
19:57opportunity for
19:58Europe, not
20:00only in
20:01Arctic, but
20:02also in
20:02Africa and
20:03other continents.
20:03There is a
20:04huge demand
20:05for Europe.
20:07This demand
20:08for Europe
20:08will not
20:09remain open
20:10forever.
20:11So if we
20:13miss this
20:14window of
20:14opportunity,
20:15which can
20:15help us to
20:16reduce the
20:16dependencies,
20:18then it
20:18will be, in
20:19my eyes, a
20:20big failure.
20:23Well, that
20:24brings Wednesday's
20:24edition of
20:25Europe Today to
20:25an end.
20:26Thanks for
20:26tuning in.
20:26See you soon.
20:30See you soon.
20:38See you soon.
20:42Bye.
