07:40important issues around AI security,
07:42tech sovereignty, and
07:44very much so discussing that issue
07:46from Father Merzelensky that Europe
07:48needs to nominate one
07:50spokesperson to discuss its future
07:52when it comes to negotiations
07:54around Ukraine and the security
07:56architecture. There'll also be probably
07:58quite a tense discussion about
08:00the EU seven-year budget because, you know,
08:02the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has
08:04said that he's insisting that
08:06all 27 countries pay
08:08into the budget for Ukraine. Remember
08:10last Christmas, some countries like
08:11Slovakia, Hungary, Czechia,
08:13they said that they would not pay for
08:15Ukraine's future funding
08:17and Friedrich Merz said this is absolutely
08:19unacceptable, that it can't be, that only
08:21some countries share the burden. So
08:23those two days really probably
08:25will be quite crucial given the moment
08:27we're in now. Stefan?
08:29All right, Shona Murray in Dublin, thank
08:31you very much.
08:33Infinitely scrolling and influencers
08:35opaquely peddling products
08:37could be very much a thing of the
08:39past as Brussels has proposed
08:41a crackdown against harmful
08:43e-commerce platforms and insidious
08:45online practices. Our correspondent
08:47Angela Skugin spoke exclusively
08:49with the EU Commissioner for Consumer
08:51Protection, Michael McGrath,
08:53about the new pitched measures
08:55as well as the political fight
08:57brewing in Warsaw over Poland's
08:59constitutional tribunal.
09:01Take a listen.
09:02It is a significant reform of EU
09:05consumer law because it reflects the
09:07digitalisation of our economy that
09:10we have experienced over the last
09:12number of years and it's the first
09:13major update in about 20 years and
09:16when you consider everything that has
09:17happened in our economy over that
09:19period of time, then I think you
09:21begin to understand the need for
09:24this update to our legislation.
09:26What does the enforcement look like?
09:27So, first of all, the enforcement
09:30will still primarily be done at a
09:32national level and in the case of
09:34cross-border breaches of consumer
09:36law, we will continue to coordinate as
09:39a European Commission the actions of
09:41many different national authorities, but
09:43then for the more systemic large-scale
09:46breaches, the Commission will have the
09:47power now for the first time to
09:49directly investigate and enforce consumer
09:51law and in extremis, in the worst-case
09:55scenario, we have the potential to impose
09:57fines of up to 6% of worldwide
10:00turnover of companies found guilty of
10:02these major breaches of consumer law.
10:04Moving on to another topic that you
10:05cover as the Justice Commissioner, we've
10:08seen a widening constitutional crisis
10:11occupy Poland.
10:13What do you make of this firestorm that
10:16seems to engulf Warsaw at the moment?
10:18Well, the most important thing is that the
10:21rule of law is upheld in Poland and it
10:24falls to the Polish authorities in the first
10:26instance to ensure that that is the case
10:29and also to ensure that when it comes to
10:32the appointment of judges, for example, that
10:35it is done in a manner consistent with the
10:38Polish Constitutional Tribunal and indeed
10:41the judgments of the Court of Justice of the
10:44European Union.
10:45And I take note of the fact that we had a
10:48Venice Commission opinion on these issues as
10:52recently as October.
10:54And there's also irrelevant judgment with
10:57interim measures from the European Court of
10:59Human Rights earlier this year.
11:01And in essence, it is for the Parliament, it is for
11:03the SEM in the case of Poland, in line with their own
11:06constitution and in line with the provisions of the
11:09court of justice findings to appoint judges to serve at the
11:15highest level in the.
11:19Angela Scudgen speaking to EU commissioner Michael
11:22McGrath.
11:23As rising seas threaten coastal communities around the
11:28globe, negotiators at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, are under
11:33immense pressure to move past empty promises.
11:36But with geopolitical tensions high and major polluters
11:40dragging their feet, can this summit actually deliver for our
11:43oceans?
11:44To cut through the diplomatic noise, I'm now joined from
11:47Antalya by Dr. Louis Firth, a leading marine ecologist at
11:51University College Cork in Ireland.
11:53Good morning and thank you for coming on the show.
11:56Good morning.
11:57Thank you for having me.
11:58So Turkey and Australia are co-leading what was billed as the
12:02implementation summit, yet neither is quitting fossil fuels.
12:06Why should we take the outcome of these talks seriously?
12:11Because we have to.
12:13You asked the question about, you know, can we make a difference?
12:16I think it's a case of we have to.
12:18I was in a session yesterday where we were talking about small
12:21island nations and sea level rise.
12:24Those guys obviously are at the absolute front line.
12:27And, for example, the Pacific holds some of the greatest natural
12:31wealth in the world.
12:32So if those countries disappear and are threatened by sea level
12:37rise, we all lose out.
12:38So it's not a case of can we?
12:41We have to.
12:42Right.
12:43With the U.S. skipping an official delegation and the EU distracted by
12:47its own economy, are we heading for some sort of watered down
12:52compromises instead of real action?
12:55I hope not.
12:572026 was a bit of a turning point for many of us.
13:00I mean, obviously, with all of the extreme weather that was experienced
13:02across Europe and other places, as well as the fuel crisis, everyone is
13:07now aware of this.
13:08You know, there's not much space for climate denial anymore.
13:11It's a case for action.
13:12So I really do think the year that's been in it, you know, it's good.
13:18It can hopefully shine a light on this and actually provide an impetus for
13:22more action.
13:24Pacific Islanders already feel sidelined in Antalya.
13:28What is the single non-negotiable result coastal communities need before
13:34the summit ends?
13:36Financing.
13:37The rest of the world has to basically support them.
13:41They were not the biggest polluters.
13:43They were not the biggest contributors to this crisis, but they're the ones that
13:46are going to experience it the most.
13:48The rest of the world has to get behind supporting them and providing that
13:52finance.
13:54And if COP31 ends with more pledges on paper, but no binding cash for coastal
14:00adaptation, is the UN climate process officially broken?
14:05Oh, dear.
14:06That's a big question.
14:08I hope not.
14:09I hope not.
14:11No, I'm going to say no.
14:14We have to hope.
14:15What would need to happen then?
14:21We've seen these conferences over and over again.
14:25But if we look at the statistics and you know them better than me, nothing really
14:30changes, right?
14:32Well, individuals can change things.
14:35I mean, there's a lot of things that individuals can do themselves.
14:37And we're all empowered to make choices all day, every day of our lives.
14:41If we were waiting for the politicians to, you know, to do that for us, we, you
14:45know, that's why we're in this mess.
14:47Individuals can take control.
14:49And there's plenty of decisions that they can make every single day to make a
14:52difference.
14:53All right, Dr.
14:55Louise Firth, climate expert from University College Cork, thank you very much for your
14:59time this morning.
15:01This evening, we will premiere a new show here on Euronews.
15:05World Conversation with Jane Witherspoon launches at 10 past nine CET tonight.
15:11Her first guest is Sihasak Pranget Kiao, the deputy prime minister and minister of foreign
15:16affairs of Thailand.
15:17They'll be discussing geopolitics, cooperation with Europe and relations with China and the
15:23United States.
15:24Here's a sneak peek.
15:26You've mentioned that the superpower.
15:28So we're talking China and the U.S.
15:30Who are great allies for Thailand?
15:33How do you balance that relationship, though?
15:35You say you make it about the issues, not the countries.
15:39Well, the best way of balancing is to, you know, we have to consider what is in our interest,
15:49you know, and what are the principles that we stand for and what we consider to be what
15:58is right, right?
15:59Yes.
16:00And if there are, when times come that you have to make a decision, we do have to make
16:06a decision.
16:08And maybe it goes one way and the other party might not like it.
16:13But we hope that, you know, that they will respect us for having made that decision rather
16:21than, you know, sitting on the wall, sitting on the fence.
16:26That was Jane Witherspoon with the Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand.
16:30The full interview tonight at 10 past 9 CET.
16:34The EU Commission has set out its legislative priorities for 2027.
16:39This week, our flagship debate show The Ring premiered for its second season with an expanded,
16:45longer format, and it has already left memorable headlines.
16:49A true glimpse of European Parliament debates.
16:51Members Benedetta Scuderi from the Greens from Italy and Marcus Ferber, a Christian Democrat
16:57from Germany, stepped on the ring as we asked, is the EU headed into the right direction?
17:03And they quickly slugged it out in a very heated debate.
17:07Take a look at what happened.
17:09Your group, the Green Group, calls the program for next year, and I quote, an attack against
17:14nature.
17:15Are you really sure that you are reading correctly what the Commission has proposed?
17:20That is not an attack against nature, but really adjusting to a new situation?
17:25I think that adjusting to a new situation would be extremely great if you look at what is the
17:29situation.
17:30But it looks like the EPP is not looking at the climate collapse.
17:34You are not able to do anything about the climate.
17:38That is unacceptable.
17:40Why is EPP?
17:41That is unacceptable, really.
17:42Why is EPP?
17:42Because all the omnibus, as you really fried for them, are going against anything that
17:47would be a climate collapse.
17:49Which omnibus?
17:50Tell me.
17:50Which omnibus?
17:51I told you.
17:51Deforestation.
17:52The omnibus.
17:54Deforestation is not in an omnibus.
17:56Sorry.
17:56Don't tell stories which are not the truth.
17:58Due diligence, then.
18:00It was one of the strongest things that we had for the climate collapse.
18:03Van der Leyen said, in 2019, that will be the race to the moon.
18:07But the race to the moon did not work with bureaucracy.
18:10It worked with technology.
18:12And that is what happens.
18:13Yeah, but we don't need the race to the moon.
18:13We need to protect this planet.
18:18See how hard my job is?
18:21That does it for us today.
18:22Thank you for watching.
18:23I'm Stefan Grobe.
18:24Take care and I see you tomorrow.
18:28Take care and I see you tomorrow.
18:30Bye.
19:00Bye.
19:01Bye.
19:08Bye.
19:29Bye.
19:31Bye.
19:58Bye.
