01:3010 years on, the danger of populism and why a victory of the far right in France's presidential election next
01:37year would be dramatic.
01:39And what happened at the World Cup last night? I'll have the latest for you.
01:43But first, the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Poland.
01:47The meeting comes as Kiev continues to repair and defend critical infrastructure damaged by unabated Russian missile and drone attacks.
01:56Understandably, energy resilience remains one of Kiev's top priorities as Moscow continues targeting power generation and transmission systems.
02:06The Gdansk Conference is overshadowed by sharply deteriorating relations between the two host countries over historical grievances going back to
02:14World War II.
02:16For more on this, I'm joined by our correspondent Marcelina Burgetts, who is on her way to the conference in
02:22Gdansk.
02:23Good morning, Marcelina.
02:24So, is there a risk that the Polish-Ukrainian row can derail the conference and play into Moscow's hands?
02:32The conference is going as planned. So far, there's no information on any protests.
02:38Russian politics want to use this diplomatic conflict and push their propaganda.
02:42Former Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, posted some disrespectful posts about Zelensky.
02:48As Moscow continues to fuel hate speech, but European politicians widely notice and responsibly highlight that good relations are in
02:57the all-continent interest.
02:59And can we still expect Polish and Ukrainian politicians to hold talks in Gdansk?
03:05It's likely, but it won't be the president, as neither of them will be present in Gdansk.
03:10Zelensky counseled his presence. After that, also, Owena Zelenska and Andriy Sibicha counseled their visit.
03:17Ukrainian Prime Minister, Yulia Fyredenko, will appear on Zelensky's behalf, and the Polish government will be represented by Donald Tusk.
03:24Only Russia and Putin can gain from the Polish-Ukrainian conflict, according to European Union representatives, who will also be
03:33present at the conference in Poland.
03:35So, what's going to happen exactly in Gdansk? And why is it important for Poland and Ukraine to resolve their
03:42conflict?
03:42It is estimated that nearly 200 contracts and agreements will be signed, mostly between Polish and Ukrainian companies, and the
03:51cost of rebuilding Ukraine is estimated at several hundred billion dollars.
03:55It is in both Poland and Ukraine's interest to maintain good relations and de-escalate this diplomatic conflict.
04:01All right, Marcelina Borgetts, thank you very much.
04:05The situation in Ukraine was also the subject of a meeting of the so-called E-5 in Berlin yesterday.
04:12German Chancellor Friedrich Merz hosted his counterparts from France, Britain, Italy, and Poland to discuss military support for Ukraine and
04:19possible diplomatic ways to find an end to the war.
04:22Over the past few weeks, Ukraine has launched attacks against Russian positions in Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula that Russia annexed
04:30in 2014.
04:31Ukraine said it struck a railway bridge, a power plant, and other infrastructure targets in Crimea, weakening logistics routes to
04:40supply Russian troops.
04:42For more on this, we have our correspondent, Sasha Vakulina, here on the set.
04:47Good morning, Sasha.
04:47Morning, Stefan.
04:48So, Kiev has significantly intensified its attacks on Crimea.
04:55What is the strategy, and what's the endgame here?
04:59The strategy for Ukraine is to cut Crimea off Russian control and Russian ground lines of communication.
05:07Now, we have to take a look at Crimea and its very, very complex geographic position.
05:12It is both strategically important, but very complicated.
05:15Now, let's take a look at the map.
05:17Now, Crimea is a city between mainland Ukraine, Russia, and the wider Black Sea region.
05:24In the north, Crimea is tied to Moscow-occupied southern territories of Ukraine, but a very narrow land corridor, and
05:31also this web of roads and rail lines.
05:33And you can see some of them on the map.
05:35And these are exactly the road and rail lines that Ukraine has been targeting in this case, trying to not
05:41allow any supplies by Russian military command towards the forces in Crimea.
05:48Because, of course, first and foremost, the peninsula has been turned into a massive military base.
05:53Now, at this stage, only Kyrgyz remains the link to Russia.
05:58This is, of course, the Kyrgyz bridge, which was illegally built after the annexation of Crimea in 2014.
06:05I mean, the question, of course, is why are they doing this now, the focus on Crimea?
06:10And why is that important?
06:12Ukraine is capable of doing it now, thanks to the improved mid-range capabilities.
06:18Mid-range goes between 20 to 200 kilometers, strikes mostly with drones.
06:23Why Ukraine is doing it?
06:24To stop the supplies for the Russian forces in Crimea.
06:27It will also take longer, obviously, for Ukraine to take Crimea back, which is the end game here for Kyiv.
06:34For Kyiv, for Moscow, the end game is not to let it go.
06:37This is the territory, this is the trophy for Vladimir Putin.
06:40This is the territory he would let go last.
06:42But these attacks and this campaign gives Ukraine a very strong argument when it comes to forcing Moscow and Putin
06:50personally into the talks with Zelensky.
06:53All right, Sasha Bakulina, thank you very much.
06:57The Middle East may be entering a new diplomatic phase, but the road to peace remains steeply uncertain.
07:03In Lebanon, a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is under growing strain with disagreements over Israel's military presence in
07:12the south, threatening to reignite tensions.
07:15At the same time, Washington and Tehran are attempting to transform a temporary truce into a broader agreement that could
07:22reshape the region's security architecture.
07:25So, can the current negotiations deliver lasting stability?
07:29And what does that mean for Israel's security?
07:31Let's discuss this with Ailon Levy, a former Israeli government spokesman who joins us from Tel Aviv.
07:38Good morning, sir.
07:39So, if Washington reaches a broader understanding with Tehran, would Israel view that as an opportunity to reduce regional tensions?
07:48Or is there a fear that Iran is just trying to buy time and preserve its influence across the Middle
07:54East?
07:54The Iranian regime is trying to rebuild its network of proxy armies in the Middle East right now.
08:00And that's why Israel is warning that the direct U.S.-Iran talks threatened to derail the fragile peace process between
08:07Israel and Lebanon itself.
08:09Israel's ambassador to the U.S. this week warning, we're heading for a train wreck.
08:14Israel and Lebanon were already negotiating directly as two sovereign states.
08:18They had already agreed that any ceasefire would be contingent on a complete cessation of Hezbollah fire and Hezbollah's withdrawal
08:26north of the Litani River.
08:28And the Islamic Republic of Iran swooping in now, trying to be a protector of Lebanon, playing a role the
08:35Lebanese government does not want because it wants to get rid of the Iranian influence, is throwing a spanner in
08:42the works.
08:43And so this is a very dangerous development now.
08:46There had been a direct peace process between the sides.
08:49That is now being derailed as Lebanon is looking at the United States and begging them, please don't sell us
08:55back to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
08:58We want to be free from Iranian influence, not let them dictate terms here.
09:02For years, Israel has argued that Iran and its network of proxies are the main source of instability in the
09:09region.
09:10Are we now witnessing the beginning of a new regional order or do you believe the fundamental security threats facing
09:17Israel remain unchanged?
09:19The Iranian axis is far weaker than it was on the eve of Hamas's October 7th massacre and the regional
09:27war that it sparked.
09:28But the Iranian regime is trying to rebuild that.
09:30And if this war ends with an American withdrawal from the region, if it allows the Iranians to charge tolls
09:37on the Strait of Hormuz, if it lets them rebuild their ballistic missiles,
09:41then Gulf countries that were thinking of making peace with Israel are going to be looking over their shoulders and
09:47trying to reach accommodations with the Iranian regime.
09:50That is the threat at this current moment, that instead of intensifying a positive peace process between Israel and its
09:57Arab neighbors,
09:58they're now going to be spooked by a resurgent Islamic Republic of Iran,
10:03and they're going to want to cut deals to continue to appease it in the hope that in the future
10:08it won't attack them with drones and missiles like it did during Operation Epic Fury.
10:12And Elon, on Lebanon, one more. Israel says it must maintain freedom of action against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon,
10:21but critics warn that continued military operations risk destabilizing the ceasefire.
10:27How can Israel guarantee its security without pushing Lebanon back towards conflict?
10:33Israel wants Lebanon to dismantle Hezbollah itself, but the Lebanese government has been either unable or unwilling to do so.
10:40The previous war ended in November 2024 with a ceasefire that was meant to see Lebanon pull Hezbollah north of
10:48the Letani River.
10:49That just never happened. Hezbollah continued rearming.
10:52And so Israel's defensive campaign against Hezbollah now is creating the urgency and the opportunity for the Lebanese government to
11:00do something that it's been desperately trying not to do,
11:03and that is to directly confront the militia that takes its orders from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
11:09And the day that Lebanon is able to dismantle Hezbollah will be the first day of a beautiful peace between
11:15Israel and Lebanon.
11:16All right, Ilan Levy, former Israeli government spokesman, thank you very much, sir, for your time this morning.
11:22Thank you.
11:23Now, back to Europe.
11:25After years of tensions, diplomatic spats and political differences, France and Italy are seeking a reset.
11:32French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni are holding their first official bilateral summit in Antibes today,
11:41aiming to inject fresh momentum into one of Europe's most important relationships.
11:46From migration and defense to competitiveness and the wars on Europe's doorstep,
11:52the meeting is designed to show that Paris and Rome can put past disagreements aside and work together.
11:59For more on this, let's head to Gabriele Barbati in Rome.
12:04Good morning, Gabriele.
12:07Good morning, Stefan.
12:09Yes, as you said, this meeting in Antibes is an intergovernmental one by the two countries set four years ago
12:15to strengthen cooperation on major topics on the agenda,
12:19and crucially, major contractors, defense contractors, will be at the table.
12:23Now, looking at the calendar, Macron hosted Meloni just 10 days ago in Avian.
12:30Yesterday, both were in Berlin for the E-5,
12:34and in a few days, all the leaders will head to Ankara for the NATO summit.
12:39These seem critical days for shaping the future of European defense
12:45and to set the relationships and to reset, maybe, the relationships with the USA,
12:50both political and military ones under NATO.
12:54As you said, there are plenty of issues on the table,
12:57but France and Italy aren't always exactly on the same page, are they?
13:04Well, Meloni and Macron, over the last four years, have met several times,
13:09but not always agreed on the major issues at stake.
13:12Take Ukraine.
13:13The French president often proposed the military deployment in Ukraine
13:17that the Italian prime minister never welcomed.
13:21The ground seems firmer on Lebanon.
13:24Meloni confirmed that Italy and France will discuss today
13:27and will work together to renew the mandate of the UN uniform mission in Lebanon,
13:33which will end in December.
13:37But underneath it all, there is the role that Meloni has been trying to carve out for herself
13:43as a bridge between Brussels and Washington,
13:47thanks to her ties with Donald Trump.
13:49Well, that leverage seems to have evaporated
13:53as Paris has always been pursuing an independent line
13:57with Berlin and London keeping Italy out
14:01and also because of Italy's own domestic vulnerabilities.
14:06All right, Gabriele Barbati in Rome.
14:08Thank you very much for that update.
14:11He has been called Monsieur Brexit for spending four years
14:15as the European Union's chief negotiator in the divorce talks with Britain.
14:20He later returned to frontline French politics as prime minister,
14:24navigating one of the most fragmented political landscapes in modern France.
14:29Earlier, Euronews editor Maria Taddeo caught up with Michel Barnier in Paris
14:33and she started by asking him about how he assesses the Brexit process ten years on.
15:02But there is a reality after Brexit.
15:05The idea of exiting the European Union no longer became as popular.
15:09We don't hear in France the idea of Brexit.
15:11In Italy, the intellect sort of basically died out.
15:15The populism within the EU talks about changing from within, not leaving.
15:18But I don't think that the populists in France,
15:21the nationalists from the far right and the far left,
15:24have changed their mind.
15:26Mrs. Le Pen, when the day of the Brexit,
15:30the night of the Brexit, said congratulations to the British people,
15:35they had the courage to escape from the European servitude.
15:42The right was of Mrs. Le Pen.
15:45And I never listened to Mrs. Le Pen or Mr. Bardella
15:48saying that they were wrong.
15:51So I don't think they changed their mind.
15:54These people from the far right and even the far left want to destroy the EU.
16:01They want to destroy the EU.
16:02They are nationalists.
16:03They are nationalists.
16:04So then going into 2027 and this election,
16:07this is a crucial election in this country.
16:09Financial markets are looking at it already.
16:11Not only for France.
16:12This is a systemic country to the EU and a founding member.
16:17How do you see your role in this election?
16:20And again, what you said now is they want to destroy the EU.
16:22That's a big statement.
16:23My role here in the French National Assembly,
16:25where we are today,
16:27in the French debate,
16:28as a former prime minister,
16:30is to work for the unity of the center-right.
16:33Because I think that the unity,
16:36supporting one single candidate
16:38and acting about one single program
16:41is the only way to avoid
16:43the incredible duel
16:47in the second term of the president's election
16:50between the two candidates from the nationalist side.
16:53Would you say that's an existential threat to France
16:55and therefore by the EU,
16:57if that is what it comes down to?
16:58I think it would be dramatic for France and for Europe.
17:04EU News editor Maria Taddeo
17:07speaking to Michel Barnier.
17:08And now the World Cup
17:10with the start of the final match day
17:12of the group stage.
17:19Football celebrations in Switzerland
17:21after their 2-1 victory over Canada.
17:24Or as they say there,
17:26Hopp-Schwitz.
17:27The Swiss,
17:28the quiet achievers of world football,
17:30were the better team
17:31for most of a slightly subdued game
17:33and finally ended up first in Group B.
17:35It's a bittersweet story for Canada,
17:37which qualified for the knockout round
17:39as the second-place team in its group
17:41for the first time,
17:42but will now have to schlep
17:44to the United States for the privilege.
17:46In the second game of Group B,
17:48Bosnia-Herzegovina beat Qatar 3-1.
17:51Their players celebrated on the pitch,
17:53having secured third place.
17:54They thought they had done enough
17:56to get into the knockout stage.
17:58We'll see about that.
17:59Then, Brazil advanced to the next round
18:02after an unceremonious 3-0 victory
18:05over Scotland,
18:06finishing first in Group C.
18:08Scotland's hopes of advancing
18:09to the World Cup knockout stage
18:11for the first time took a blow.
18:13They might have the nicest supporters,
18:15but not the best players.
18:17Also in the knockout round,
18:19Morocco.
18:20The semifinalists from 2022
18:22twice overcame the shock
18:23of conceding to Haiti
18:24to win a World Cup thriller 4-2.
18:27On the other hand,
18:28Haiti exited the tournament
18:30with their first World Cup goals
18:32in 52 years.
18:34Then, Mexico finished first in Group A
18:36after defeating the Czech Republic 3-0,
18:39a success that was never in doubt.
18:41For the Mexicans,
18:42a perfect record for the first time,
18:45three wins in three games.
18:47And finally,
18:48South Africa beat South Korea 1-0
18:51to book their place
18:52in the knockout phase.
18:53This victory was South Africa's
18:55third-ever win in the World Cup
18:57and their first against
18:58a non-European team.
18:59South Korea should have done enough
19:01to progress as one of the
19:02eight best third-place teams,
19:04but a spot in the next round
19:06is not guaranteed.
19:08Six games on the menu
19:09tonight and early tomorrow morning,
19:11among them Ecuador against Germany,
19:13Tunisia versus the Netherlands,
19:15and Japan against Sweden.
