00:30...between Iran and the United States, aimed at building out the fragile interim deal to end the war,
00:36were positive and constructive, according to mediators Qatar and Pakistan.
00:41But there were some tense moments when U.S. President Trump angered Tehran's chief negotiators
00:46when he threatened Iran, resulting in a temporary pause in the talks.
00:50We'll have the latest from our correspondent in the Middle East.
00:54Drama at Downing Street.
00:56British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to step down today
01:00after pressure from inside his Labour Party became overwhelming to make way for rival Andy Burnham.
01:07Starmer, who first didn't want to go without a fight, is now aware of the new political realities,
01:14as a government spokesman said.
01:16Our analyst, Marek Gwynne-Jones, will fill us in.
01:18Knocking on Europe's door.
01:22European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Osla von der Leyen
01:26are meeting Moldovan President Maja Sandu in Brussels today for the second EU-Moldova Summit.
01:32The meeting follows the opening of Moldova's first real accession negotiations.
01:37Now it's crunch time.
01:39We'll have Moldova's foreign minister live here in our studio.
01:43And the back and forth that nobody needs.
01:47After Poland's president stripped his Ukrainian counterpart of the country's highest state honor,
01:52current and former Ukrainian officials are renouncing their own awards.
01:56The latest episode of a spat that is hard to understand for outsiders.
02:00Tensions have been rising between Kiev and Warsaw since Zelensky named a military unit
02:05after a World War II Ukrainian insurgent army, very controversial in Poland.
02:12But first the situation in the Middle East, where things were a little bumpy last night.
02:17The Iranians temporarily walked out of the talks in Switzerland,
02:21leaving U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance a bit nonplussed.
02:25The reason for this stunning turn were threats by President Donald Trump
02:28to strike Iran even harder if Tehran doesn't agree to a deal.
02:33To make sense of it all, let's head over to Doha,
02:36where our correspondent Laila Humaira has the latest for us.
02:40Good morning, Laila.
02:41So what can you tell us about the talks near Lucerne?
02:45Are they still happening? What's going on?
02:50That's right, Stefan. Good morning.
02:52As you said there, these intense eight-hour marathon negotiations have concluded in Switzerland,
02:58with representatives from pretty much all sides hailing it as a constructive step forward
03:03and with good progress made.
03:06Now, in a joint statement, the mediators Qatar and Pakistan announced a roadmap,
03:10which builds on the memorandum of understanding signed between the U.S. and Iran last week
03:15to reach a final deal to end the war within 60 days.
03:20Now, one of the key points in this roadmap is the setting up of a high-level committee
03:26and de-confliction mechanisms to seize all hostilities in Lebanon,
03:31which we know has been a sticking point in these negotiations.
03:35So despite those tense moments in Lake Lucerne in Switzerland, we do have a positive outcome.
03:42And Laila, what about the situation in the Strait of Hormuz this morning?
03:46The Iranians closed it again over the weekend.
03:49Give us an update.
03:52Yes, that's right.
03:54Despite the breakthrough politically we saw in Switzerland,
03:58the situation in the Strait of Hormuz remains extremely fragile.
04:01As you said on Saturday, Iran said it shut down the Strait of Hormuz
04:05in response to Israeli aggression in Lebanon, which is supposed to see a ceasefire in place right now.
04:13And since Saturday, we've seen vessels try an attempt going into the Strait of Hormuz
04:18only to end up turning back.
04:20Now, on paper, the U.S. and Iran have vowed to restore freedom of navigation
04:25back in the Strait of Hormuz.
04:27But in reality, hundreds of vessels are still stranded and idle in those waters
04:32in between that critical shipping waterway.
04:36All right, Laila Humara in Doha for us.
04:39Thank you very much.
04:40Now, let's go to the United Kingdom, where the British press had a busy weekend,
04:45basically announcing the end of Keir Starmer's premiership as early as today.
04:51We know he was in trouble, especially after a by-election in Northern England
04:54was won by his internal rival, Andy Burnham.
04:57For more on this, let's bring in our in-house UK policy expert,
05:01Merritt Gwynne-Jones, who has been following this drama closely.
05:04Good morning, Merritt.
05:06Good morning, Stefan.
05:06So, Merritt, this comes two years after a landslide victory by Starmer and his Labour Party
05:15in the general election.
05:16What has changed?
05:17Well, indeed, Stefan, what's changed is that pressure has now been mounting on the Prime Minister
05:22Keir Starmer for weeks.
05:24His approval ratings are really quite abysmal.
05:26That's due to a series of unpopular U-turns on policy, also controversy around the fact
05:32that he appointed Peter Mandelson, of course, the role of the UK ambassador to the US.
05:36Such is the pressure now that members of his own Labour Party believe the party would be
05:40better off without him and that the country also would be better off with another leader.
05:44So, what we're expecting today, Stefan, is for possibly Starmer to set out a timetable
05:50for his departure.
05:51That could mean departing by the July parliamentary recess or as late as the autumn and to make
05:58way for another leader to step in and to become Prime Minister.
06:01What's unclear is whether there will be a formal contest between two or more candidates or whether
06:07Andy Burnham will be fast-tracked to the Premiership.
06:10He's, of course, the former Manchester mayor.
06:14He won a crucial by-election last week, as you mentioned, in a very pro-Brexit, I would
06:19say, constituency where Reform UK, the party of Nigel Farage, has been performing very well
06:24in recent local elections.
06:26He won that.
06:27And many members of the Labour Party believe now that Andy Burnham, informally known as the
06:32King of the North, you know, he's an outsider to the Westminster elite and many believe he's
06:37the only man who can really stem the meteoric rise of Reform UK, Nigel Farage's party, and the
06:44only hope now for the Labour Party.
06:46So, if this does happen, as we expect, Stefan, this would mean the seventh UK Prime Minister
06:51in 10 years, which is really a sign of the instability that they're facing.
06:55Yeah, well, interesting stuff.
06:57What does it mean internationally?
06:59Should Brussels be paying attention?
07:00Well, as you know, you know, Sam has been playing a key role when it comes to bolstering Europe's
07:05defences, along with his allies, one of only two nuclear powers in Europe, of course, a key
07:10role in the format of the E3, along with France and Germany, and also in the process of reopening
07:14the Strait of Hormuz, and the peace process in Ukraine, he's been playing a really critical
07:19role.
07:20The fear now, probably for Europe, is that we have a lame duck Prime Minister in the UK for
07:24a few months that could maybe further undermine Europe's authority.
07:28And, crucially, Stefan, and finally, this comes on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the
07:32Brexit referendum tomorrow, and we know that Selma had made it his priority to restore ties
07:38with the European Union.
07:39We are expecting him here in Brussels at the end of July to tie up a string of deals with
07:46the EU on closer collaboration.
07:48The question now is, will he be in power for that?
07:51Will he have the authority to do that?
07:53And will his successor have the same vision as him when it comes to ties with the European
07:59Union?
08:00Well, looking forward to that.
08:01I see what Prime Minister will come to Brussels in July.
08:05Merrick Gwynne-Jones there, thanks for bringing us up to date.
08:08Of course, all this drama in London unfolds as the United Kingdom wants to put its post-Brexit
08:14relationship with the EU on a new footing, short of membership, of course.
08:19Now, one country that wants membership is Moldova.
08:23In fact, Moldova applied to join the EU in March 2022, received candidate status in June
08:29that year, and formally opened accession negotiations in June 2024.
08:34The latest phase, launched in Luxembourg on the 15th of June of this year, concerns the
08:40so-called fundamentals cluster.
08:43That's the part of accession talks that often determines the pace and credibility of the
08:48entire process.
08:49Let's talk about today's EU Moldova summit now with Moldova's foreign minister, Mihaly Popsoy,
08:54who joins me here on the set.
08:56Good morning, minister.
08:57Great to have you with us.
08:59Good morning.
08:59It's a pleasure to be back.
09:00So, that cluster that I mentioned earlier matters because it's not confined to technical
09:07lawmaking, if I may say.
09:09It examines whether democratic institutions are stable, whether corruption is being tackled,
09:15whether the courts are independent, whether public money is traceable, and whether fundamental
09:20rights are protected in practice.
09:23How do you feel about these talks?
09:25Well, these talks are very important to us, and the fact that Moldova has been able to reach
09:30this important milestone a few days ago, opening the clusters and now having our second Moldova
09:36European Union summit is a testament to the effort and to the progress that Moldovan institutions
09:42and Moldovan society is reaching under very difficult circumstances.
09:46When it comes to the fundamentals, we would not have it any other way.
09:51It is very much in our interest, in the interest of Moldovan citizens, to make sure that we
09:55consolidate Moldovan institutions, that we make democratic consolidation irreversible,
10:01that we deliver to the promise we made to our citizens to combat effectively corruption,
10:06to consolidate democratic freedoms.
10:08This is, at the end, part and parcel of our political agenda.
10:11If it also helps us to join the European Union, it's great.
10:14But our commitment is to our citizens back home, and we are thankful that this commitment
10:19is paying off, including in the opening of the first cluster on fundamentals.
10:25I want to ask you about Russia that continues to exert pressure on Moldova through disinformation
10:31energy leverage, and of course, the unresolved issue of Transnistria.
10:37Is the EU doing enough to help you guys with this?
10:41Or are you still largely on your own?
10:45The European Union and EU member states have been incredibly supportive of the Republic
10:49of Moldova throughout the past years, when circumstances have been very difficult, including
10:54in the energy sphere.
10:55But of course, we are in the driver's seat, and we need to deliver on our own efforts back
11:01home.
11:01And we are working tirelessly, proactively, to engage with the folks from the left bank in
11:06the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova, to make sure that all Moldovan citizens,
11:11no matter where they live on which part of the river, benefit from Moldova's EU accession.
11:15So it's an important process in making sure that Moldova advances on its European path.
11:21And the two tracks, the European integration and the integration of the Transnistrian region,
11:26are two parallel tracks.
11:27Because otherwise, we would give the Kremlin leverage and de facto veto over our accession
11:33process.
11:33But we're working hard to make sure that all Moldovan citizens benefit like they had already
11:39benefited from the deep and comprehensive free trade area, which the Transnistrian region
11:44of Moldova has benefited a lot as well.
11:46All right.
11:47Michal Popsoy, the foreign minister of Moldova there.
11:50Thank you, sir, for helping us understand your perspective.
11:54We stay in Eastern Europe and go to Ukraine and Poland.
11:57An old conflict that goes back to World War II is at the origin of a diplomatic row between
12:02Warsaw and Kiev that gets nastier almost by the day.
12:06The latest is that Polish President Nowrowski stripped President Zelensky of Ukraine of Warsaw's
12:12highest state honor.
12:13What's it all about?
12:15Jakub Janos has the details.
12:20Politics is about symbols, and this time was no different.
12:23A recent military designation has sparked a major diplomatic crisis between Warsaw and
12:28Kiev.
12:28President Włodymyr Zelensky named an elite special operations unit after UPA heroes to
12:35honor their modern battlefield performance.
12:37And in response, Polish President Karol Nawrocki announced intentions to strip Zelensky of Poland's
12:43highest state award, the Order of the White Eagle.
12:46This dispute exposes deeply conflicting national narratives.
12:50What exactly is going on here?
12:53For Poland, the UPA, so Ukrainian insurgent army, is responsible for a campaign of genocidal
13:00ethnic cleansing in the 1940s that resulted in the deaths of an estimated 100,000 Polish
13:05civilians in Woliń in Ukrainian or Wojny in Polish.
13:10So a historic region with deep Polish and Ukrainian roots.
13:13This violence also systematically targeted Jewish survivors who had escaped the Holocaust.
13:19Conversely, for Ukraine, the UPA is remembered as a symbol of anti-Soviet resistance and a heroic
13:25struggle for independence.
13:27And as Ukraine defends itself against the full-scale Russian invasion, this legacy of resistance
13:32is viewed as a vital tool for public resilience.
13:35And Ukrainian officials emphasize that this designation was a grassroots request from the front-line
13:40soldiers, with no anti-Polish intentions.
13:43However, Polish leaders maintain that the memory of the victims is entirely non-negotiable.
13:49The risks of this trust crisis are exceptionally high, with some in Warsaw even calling for blocking
13:54Ukraine's EU accession over the scandal.
13:57And public solidarity is also facing pressure, as this unresolved dispute risks breaking the bond
14:02between both nations.
14:04And addressing the tension, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk noted that both nations must prevent
14:09historical emotions from destroying their solidarity.
14:12A prolonged conflict to squirm and ultimately only serves the strategic interests of Moscow.
14:18So as said, politics is about symbols, but this time it could be different.
14:23Because history shows that even the deepest historical wounds can be managed through active cooperation.
14:29A precedent clearly seen in the journey of Polish-German reconciliation.
14:35The Ukrainian insurgent army will always remain a deeply divisive symbol.
14:40Yet, the shared security of both nations today depends on managing this historical pain together,
14:46rather than allowing the past to shatter their alliance.
14:54Well, these intentions voiced by the Polish President are finally becoming reality.
15:00To get to the bottom of this, I'm glad to have our expert, Sascha Vakulina, in the studio now.
15:04Good morning, Sascha.
15:05Good morning.
15:06So, the Polish President stripped Zelensky of his honorary title.
15:11What was the reaction in Ukraine?
15:12The reaction was immediate with Wodom Zalensky sending it back to Warsaw.
15:17So, you can see here the photos with the medal, the Order of the White Eagle being sent by Zelensky
15:23back to Warsaw to call Narodzky.
15:25There is this invoice with his name there, you can see.
15:27And Zelensky explained his decision on X, saying if it is considered that this special symbol may remain with Catherine
15:35II,
15:36Benito Mussolini and Gerhard Schroeder, then we in Ukraine will not argue with that.
15:43Following Zelensky's decision, also the head of his office, the foreign minister of Ukraine,
15:46the ambassador of Ukraine to Poland, and three ex-presidents of Ukraine all renounced their orders.
15:52That was quite a mix of recipients there.
15:57This is quite an unprecedented escalation between Warsaw and Kiev.
16:02What's happening next?
16:03Well, that's a huge question also, because later this week,
16:06there's a Ukraine reconstruction conference taking place in Gdańsk, in Poland,
16:10which should be co-hosted by Ukraine and Poland.
16:12According to Euronews sources, Volodymyr Zelensky was confirmed as of last week to participate.
16:18Now it's an open question whether he will show up in Gdańsk.
16:22All right.
16:23Sasha Vakulina here in the studio.
16:25Thank you very much for these insights.
16:27And now let's talk football.
16:35And there were some eye-popping results last night.
16:38First of all, Mohamed Salah led Egypt to their first ever World Cup victory
16:42as they recovered to beat New Zealand 3-1, moving to the top of Group G
16:47and boosting their hopes of reaching the knockout stage.
16:50In that same Group G, Iran battled to a well-deserved point against 10-man Belgium
16:55with a 0-0 draw.
16:57Iran's hopes of making the knockout stages are now very much alive,
17:01whereas the Red Devils provided their fans with another evening of disappointment.
17:05And I think we're going to hear a lot about that in Brussels today.
17:09Then Cape Verde continued the adventure as the team produced another shocker
17:14by forcing a 2-2 draw on Eurogray.
17:17A result that gets them second in their group for now.
17:20Remember, they drew with Spain in their tournament debut,
17:23which was their first stunner.
17:24Speaking of Spain, the team showed signs of regained consciousness
17:28by delivering a 4-0 thrashing of Saudi Arabia,
17:32with superstar Lamin Jamal becoming only the second player aged 18 and under
17:37to open scoring in a World Cup match.
17:40On the menu today is Argentina against Australia,
17:43France versus Iraq, Norway, Senegal and Jordan against Algeria.
17:48That's it for today. Thanks for joining us this Monday morning.
