00:00Four EU leaders have pushed back against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's demand to make
00:04approval of the bloc's next long-term budget conditional on fresh aid for Ukraine.
00:10The EU is discussing stronger safeguards for new member states, including the possibility
00:15of suspending voting rights, with Montenegro first in line.
00:2011 people have been killed and dozens were injured in a devastating motorway pileup in
00:25Bulgaria.
00:25More than 50 vehicles were involved in the crash.
00:30Four EU leaders have pushed back against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's demand to make
00:35approval of the bloc's next long-term budget conditional on fresh aid for Ukraine.
00:40Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fyczo called the move blackmail and threatened to use his country's
00:45veto.
00:46Czech Prime Minister Andrzej Babiš pointed to 100 billion euros already earmarked for Ukraine
00:51in the next EU budget, although the money would only become available from 2028.
00:57Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar opposed linking the two issues, saying his country
01:02could not take on more EU debt because of its budget deficit.
01:07Bulgaria's Roman Radev also called for an exemption from future Ukraine credit lines, citing high
01:12deficits.
01:12He said Sofia would continue supporting Ukraine through energy supplies.
01:18Brussels has promised around 45 billion euros to help close Ukraine's 70 billion euro funding
01:23gap next year.
01:24Merz says support for Kyiv is a matter of European security and its costs should be shared more
01:30fairly.
01:36European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced 10 million euros in emergency funding
01:41for Bulgaria on Tuesday.
01:43The envelope is aimed at bolster search and rescue operations in the Black Sea, where drone attacks
01:49linked to Russia's war in Ukraine have made commercial shipping increasingly dangerous.
01:54Drones are sinking commercial ships, setting vessels ablaze, killing civilians, lives are lost
02:03at sea, navigation is disrupted, and the cost of insurance is skyrocketing.
02:09And the intention of these attacks is clear, to spread fear and uncertainty in Europe, we know
02:17the playbook, and we're building resilience against it.
02:21So you can count on a strong and united European response.
02:26Speaking alongside Bulgarian Prime Minister Roman Radev, she pledged a stronger European
02:31response to threats against shipping in the Black Sea.
02:34Radev, who has advocated closer diplomatic engagement with Russia to end the war, declined to attribute
02:41responsibility for the recent attacks while investigations remain underway.
02:45We would like to receive further data and specific facts as to who the perpetrator is, he told
02:52reporters at the joint press conference.
02:54In the past, however, Radev has stated that logic suggests that the attacks are due to Russia's
03:00ongoing aggression against Ukraine.

03:55The EU is discussing stronger safeguards for new member states,
03:59including the possibility of suspending voting rights with Montenegro first in line.
04:04Last month, the European Commission proposed a 15-year probation period for newcomers
04:09designed to allow swift action against those that violate EU values.
04:14Five of the EU's founding members requested to draw lessons from the experience of former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban,
04:21who for years blackmailed the bloc by wielding his veto power over major decisions.
04:26Candidate countries face a take-it-or-leave-it deal, but for Montenegro, the most advanced candidate, walking away is
04:33hardly an option.
04:34Yet changing the terms of membership at the last mile leaves a bitter aftertaste for Montenegrin officials.
04:41Some EU capitals are sympathetic to the candidates' arguments.
04:44Italy is pushing for respecting the equality of member states and for safeguards that are tailor-made for each candidate.
04:51The Netherlands, by contrast, has championed no differentiation between EU candidates.
05:02After recent attacks on supermarket fridges, home appliances could be next.
05:07The EU's cyber chief warned on Tuesday, urging Europe to invest more to counter growing cyber threats.
05:13They need to invest in the security of their products.
05:17Security should not and cannot be an afterthought.
05:21Today it was fridges, tomorrow it could be routers, the day after tomorrow it could be home appliances, and so
05:31forth.
05:32Recent incidents include cyber attacks on supermarkets and blood banks in France and eight other EU countries, as well as
05:40the PHP vulnerability, which prompted governments and companies to take down their websites.
05:45They raised concerns over how vulnerable society is to cyber attacks.
05:49The policemen arriving, the fire brigade arriving, the hospital functioning, the transport giving you a ride from point A to
05:59B, these are the things that we depend on to functioning well and 24-7.
06:06And if they don't, we will have an immediate impact.
06:10And that's why cyber security is important.
06:12A new report from the EU's Agency for Cyber Security found that over 57 percent of cyber incidents in 2025
06:20were ideologically driven by geopolitical events, such as Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle
06:28East, although most had limited impact.
06:36U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday there was momentum toward ending the war with Iran, while simultaneously refusing
06:43to rule out further strikes on the country.
06:45His comments came as Iran itself denied talks were due to take place.
06:50Iran militarily is effectively over.
06:55We're just keeping at the status quo.
06:58Should there be any change with respect to developments in the Middle East, the United States of America is fully
07:04locked and loaded with the best equipment ever made.
07:10And we don't think there's going to be any reason to use it, however.
07:15He added the Gulf states preferred the status quo over strikes in what he described as the largest naval blockade
07:22in history.
07:22Trump gave the press conference at a meeting at the White House with Qatar's Prime Minister, a key mediator in
07:28the Iran war.
07:29Mohammed Ben Abdulrahman Al-Tani said they discussed the situation in the region and ways to progress the U.S.-Iran
07:36talks.
07:37Meanwhile, Iran officials expressed defiance at the continued pressure from Washington.
07:41Top official Mohsen Rezai wrote on social media the U.S. quota flays like a disparate gambler, telling Washington to
07:49stop manufacturing fake news about imaginary talks.
08:00Qatar says talks between the U.S. and Iran are making progress.
08:04Its Prime Minister met President Trump at the White House on Monday.
08:07Here in Doha, the Foreign Ministry's Media Director, Ibrahim Al-Hashmi, was asked whether a deal was close.
08:14He wouldn't put a time frame on it.
08:38Qatar wants ships moving freely through the Strait of Hormuz again.
08:41Al-Hashmi says the cost of keeping it closed will rise as winter approaches.
08:46The people who can least afford it will be hit hardest.
08:50Mohammed Al-Ashi, your news, Doha.
08:56Pope Leo XIV is continuing his tour of South America with a stop in Argentina, where he presided over a
09:03massive mass in Buenos Aires on Monday.
09:07The plaintiff gathered nearly two and a half million people in the parks of Palermo, following the strongly political message
09:14he delivered on Sunday before President Javier Millay.
09:36On Tuesday, the Pope held another mass gathering in the city of Córdoba and celebrated a final mass in the
09:43town of Luján, scheduled for Wednesday, the day Robert Francis Prevost,
09:47bid farewell to Argentina before travelling to Peru.
09:53Meanwhile, in Peru, the papal plane and its crew were blessed by Monsignor Paolo Rocco Guatieri
09:59at Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima on the eve of the pontiff's arrival.
10:04The Pope, who was born in the United States, holds Peruvian citizenship and is returning to the country where he
10:12spent many years as a missionary and bishop.
10:15A giant statue of Pope Leo was unveiled ahead of his visit to the country in the port city of
10:21Calao, some 15 kilometers from Lima.
10:29Five EU countries are urging Britain to contribute to the bloc's regional development fund in return for access to the
10:36EU's internal electricity market.
10:39In a letter to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa,
10:44the leaders of Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg and the Netherlands said a financial contribution should be part of any deal.
10:51The issue is expected to feature at the EU-UK summit on November 20.
10:57A draft joint statement suggests EU leaders broadly support the idea, although the text could still change.
11:04Britain says no contribution has been agreed at this stage.
11:08Energy Minister Martin Maklaski said any payment would have to offer value for money.
11:12Norway offers one possible model, contributing around 391 million euros a year to grants supporting less prosperous European regions.
11:22The five countries say closer electricity ties would improve energy security, make cross-border trading easier and give businesses more
11:30certainty.
11:30They also point to plans for up to 100 gigawatts of joint North Sea projects within a wider ambition for
11:37300 gigawatts of offshore wind power.
