04:27among the civil population
04:29since basically the beginning of the war
04:32for a lack
04:33of air defense. Now, how can Ukraine
04:35strengthen that air defense?
04:38Indeed, and this is where Ukraine
04:39needs the help and the support of
04:41the partners on numerous aspects.
04:43Now, confirmed by the UN, at least
04:47293
04:47civilians were killed
04:49in the month of June. This is the highest since
04:51April 2022, Stefan, since
04:53the very first weeks and months of Russia's
04:55full-scale invasion. Now, the reason
04:57for it is, of course, because Moscow is indeed
04:59on purpose exploiting
05:01Ukraine's shortage of anti-ballistic
05:04air defense, but also in doing
05:05so, Russia is targeting
05:07specifically densely populated
05:09urban areas. Now, this death toll
05:11does not include anything regarding the
05:13frontline situation. This is why
05:15Ukraine is insisting on
05:17better and faster supplies of
05:19air defense for the ballistic missiles,
05:21but also on that license
05:23that Trump promised sort of
05:25to give to Ukraine and to be able to produce
05:27the interceptors in Ukraine.
05:30All right. Sasha Vakulina,
05:31as ever, thank you very much.
05:34We stay in Ukraine,
05:36in the capital, Kiev, where
05:37Ursula von der Leyen just arrived
05:39about an hour ago. The EU
05:41Commission President is preparing a
05:43combined support package for Ukraine
05:45worth up to 18 billion euros
05:48with announcements
05:49on this expected during
05:51von der Leyen's visit. Now,
05:54we don't know all the details of what
05:55von der Leyen will be doing while in Kiev,
05:58but our correspondent Jorge Liborero
06:00was with her on the official train
06:02covering this visit,
06:03and he sent this report
06:05literally minutes ago.
06:08This is the second time this year
06:10that Ursula von der Leyen travels to
06:12Kiev, but the situation has
06:13drastically changed.
06:15Last time in February, the Commission
06:17President encountered a truly
06:19bleak landscape.
06:21Ukraine was going through a horrific
06:23winter of widespread
06:25blackouts caused by Russian
06:28attacks. The 90
06:29billion support loan was
06:31blocked by Hungary, and
06:33Ukraine's succession process was
06:35completely paralyzed, with
06:37no solution in sight.
06:39But now, as von der Leyen
06:41says, the tide is turning
06:43in Ukraine's favor.
06:45The country is launching
06:46long-range strikes
06:48against Russian refineries,
06:50triggering a painful
06:51fuel crisis that is turning
06:53the heat on the war economy.
06:55The 90 billion loan is up
06:57and running, and the accession
06:58process is gaining traction.
07:01This week, Ukraine opened
07:02a new cluster of negotiations
07:04and intends to unblock
07:06the remaining four
07:07by the end of the year.
07:09We must admit that this is
07:10a remarkable turnaround
07:12for a country under
07:13invasion.
07:15This is a sort of
07:16encouraging message that
07:17von der Leyen will deliver
07:18today when she meets with
07:20President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
07:22here in Kyiv.
07:24The two leaders are expected
07:25to announce a brand new deal
07:28to build and store drones
07:30on European soil.
07:32These drones will then be used
07:33to either help Ukraine on the
07:35battlefield or reinforce the
07:38eastern flank.
07:39For Ukraine, the real benefit
07:41is the European industrial scale.
07:44And for Europeans, the benefit
07:46is Ukraine's technological
07:49ingenuity.
07:53Jorge Liborero from Kyiv,
07:55thank you very much.
07:56As the wars rage in Ukraine
07:59and in the Middle East,
08:01the battle for global food security
08:02is intensifying.
08:04Ukraine remains one of the world's
08:06key grain exporters,
08:07while tensions with Iran
08:08are driving up energy
08:10and fertilizer costs,
08:11threatening harvests
08:12far beyond the conflict zones.
08:15The ripple effects
08:16are being felt
08:17across the globe.
08:18To discuss this further,
08:19let's bring in
08:20Carl Scow,
08:21executive director
08:22of the World Food Programme,
08:23who joins me now
08:24in the studio.
08:25Good morning, Carl.
08:26Great to have you here
08:28with us.
08:29Before we get to
08:30the global affairs,
08:32I want to talk about
08:32the people who really
08:34suffer in this world.
08:35You just came back
08:36from a trip to Ukraine.
08:38Tell us about what you saw.
08:40How are people
08:41struggling there?
08:42I regularly visit
08:43the front line in Ukraine
08:45because we have operations
08:46from Odessa,
08:47Kherson in the south
08:48to Kharkiv in the north.
08:50We every day
08:51have deliveries
08:51on those front lines.
08:53I was there last
08:54in the beginning of March
08:56where they have just
08:57come through
08:57a very tough winter.
08:59And I was there
08:59to the last week
09:00for a week
09:01visiting all points
09:03of that front line.
09:05And frankly,
09:05the situation
09:06has gotten even worse
09:07because there are
09:08relentless attacks,
09:10drone attacks,
09:11happening now.
09:11I was in Donetsk
09:13when they registered
09:15some 1,400 drone attacks
09:17in only 24 hours.
09:19And so the civilian population
09:20there is really terrorized
09:22and what they call
09:23the killing zone
09:24has expanded
09:25from 15 kilometers
09:26from the active front line
09:28to some 50 kilometers
09:30because that's the range
09:31that these drones
09:32are now attacking.
09:34And I met families
09:35who had left overnight
09:37their house.
09:37They had enough.
09:38Some had been encouraged
09:39by authorities to leave.
09:41And I met one family
09:42who had had their house
09:44destroyed overnight
09:45at one of these transit centers.
09:47So I think that,
09:47you know,
09:48it's important also
09:49to keep an eye
09:49on the human dimension
09:51of this war as always,
09:53but particularly
09:54on those front lines
09:55that are being
09:56terribly hammered right now.
09:57You mentioned
09:58your front line operations.
10:01What exactly
10:02is it
10:03that you can do?
10:05So we deliver
10:06to almost 700,000 people
10:07who are stuck
10:08on that front line
10:09every month.
10:10And so where
10:11there are no markets,
10:12it's food,
10:13it's packages with food.
10:14Where there are
10:15some functioning markets,
10:16it's cash.
10:17And in some places,
10:18it's a mix of both
10:19because the markets
10:20carry some products,
10:22but not everything
10:22you need to survive.
10:24But we're also
10:25supporting the children
10:26that are in these
10:27bunker schools
10:27on the front lines
10:28with school meals.
10:29It's a way of ensuring
10:30that they have
10:31at least one nutritious meal a day.
10:33It's also a way
10:33of making sure
10:34they come to the school
10:36and we buy the food
10:36locally from farmers
10:37to help also
10:38the local farming community.
10:40And we are supporting farmers
10:41to get back on lands
10:42by surveying those lands
10:44so that they know
10:45what is contaminated
10:46by mines
10:47or other explosive ordinance,
10:50but that they can be back
10:51and farm on the others,
10:53which is important
10:54for food security in the area,
10:55but also for the resilience
10:57of those communities.
10:59Let's switch to the Middle East
11:01for a minute.
11:03How does the war in Iran
11:05affect global food security?
11:07Well, it's hit at many levels.
11:10I mean,
11:10the most immediate
11:10humanitarian impact
11:11has been, of course,
11:12in Lebanon
11:13with hundreds of thousands
11:14of displaced people there.
11:16But at a second level,
11:18it has hit our humanitarian
11:20operations across the globe
11:22in two ways.
11:23One, the disruptions
11:24to supply chain
11:25that everyone involved
11:27in moving stuff
11:28has felt.
11:29It takes three to four weeks
11:31longer to move rice
11:32from India
11:32to Somalia, for example.
11:35But also the costs.
11:36In the Sahel, for example,
11:39the price of doing business
11:40has gone up almost 30%.
11:42And we are already
11:43in a situation
11:43where the needs
11:44are outpacing
11:45the available resources
11:47by far.
11:48And, of course,
11:48when our running costs
11:49go up,
11:50then less aid
11:52is delivered.
11:53The last
11:54and most serious impact
11:56is that it's driving
11:56up food security.
11:57So energy
11:58and food prices
11:59are very closely correlated.
12:01And in the poorest countries,
12:02people are now eating less
12:03and food insecurity
12:05is on the increase.
12:07All right,
12:07Karl Skau,
12:08Executive Director
12:09of the World Food Programme.
12:10Thank you so much
12:11for your insights
12:12this morning.
12:13Thank you.
12:14Now, just a few hours ago,
12:16the border controls
12:17and defense
12:18between Spain
12:18and Gibraltar
12:19disappeared.
12:20Yesterday,
12:21the EU
12:22and the United Kingdom
12:22signed the Gibraltar Agreement,
12:25one of the last
12:26remaining post-Brexit
12:27leftover issues.
12:29After the meeting,
12:30Spanish Foreign Affairs Minister
12:31José Manuel Albares
12:32expressed the hope
12:34for a new chapter
12:35in the relations
12:36between Gibraltar
12:37and Campo de Gibraltar.
12:41Basically,
12:42we have a guarantee
12:43that the way
12:44they were already living
12:45because they were
12:46already relating,
12:4750,000 people
12:48were crossing every day
12:49for work,
12:50people from Gibraltar
12:51had houses
12:52or were living
12:53also outside.
12:55There was always
12:55a trade relation.
12:58All that is protected,
12:59is increased.
13:01And now,
13:02instead of looking
13:03with distrust
13:04to the other side
13:06of the gate,
13:06there will be
13:07no more gate,
13:08you know
13:09that you have
13:10a neighbor
13:10with which
13:11you can cooperate.
13:12Albares maintains
13:13that the claim
13:14of sovereignty
13:15of Spain
13:16does not change
13:17a bit
13:17with the agreement
13:18but says
13:19it solves
13:20concrete problems
13:21of the citizens.
13:22Chief Minister
13:23of Gibraltar,
13:24Fabian Picardo,
13:25shares the same view.
13:27You can look at
13:28the one page
13:29that contains
13:30the issue
13:30of sovereignty
13:31or you can look
13:32at the 118 pages
13:34that contain
13:34all of the other
13:35issues that we agree on,
13:36all of the issues
13:37that we're going
13:37to work together on
13:38now going forward.
13:39Instead of living
13:40with our backs
13:41to each other,
13:41we're going to be
13:42getting bureaucracy
13:43out of the way
13:44of the citizen
13:44and making sure
13:45that where there was
13:46a fence,
13:47there is now fluidity.
13:49The conflict
13:50over Gibraltar
13:51is one of the oldest
13:52in Europe.
13:53Another one
13:54is the one
13:54over Cyprus.
13:55Since 1974,
13:57the island state
13:58and the eastern
13:58Mediterranean
13:59has been divided
14:00between the
14:01internationally recognized
14:02Republic of Cyprus,
14:03an EU member state,
14:05and the Turkish Republic
14:06of Northern Cyprus,
14:08which is recognized
14:09only by Turkey.
14:11Diplomatic attempts
14:12at reuniting the island
14:13have been plenty
14:14but nothing came out of it.
14:16Now there are
14:17new negotiations
14:17on the agenda,
14:19already overshadowed
14:20by the Northern Cypriot
14:21rejection of a new
14:23EU special representative
14:24for Cyprus.
14:26To make sense
14:26of all this,
14:27I'm glad to have
14:28Marilena Rauna
14:29by my side now,
14:30the Deputy EU
14:31Affairs Minister
14:32of Cyprus.
14:33Thanks for coming
14:33on the show today.
14:35A pleasure, Stefan.
14:36Good morning.
14:36Good to be here.
14:37Yeah, good morning.
14:38Well, first of all,
14:39what do you make
14:39of this rejection
14:40by the Turkish Cypriot side
14:42of the new
14:43EU special representative?
14:45Well, let us start
14:46by saying the following.
14:47When Cyprus acceded
14:48to the European Union
14:49in 2004, Stefan,
14:51it acceded
14:52in the entirety
14:52of its territory.
14:53It does not exercise
14:54effective control
14:55in the occupied areas
14:57where Turkey occupies
14:5837% of the territory,
15:01but it is European territory.
15:03So that,
15:03as a starting point,
15:05there is now
15:06a renewed effort
15:07by the Secretary General
15:09of the UN
15:10to resume negotiations
15:13on the Cyprus question
15:14in line always
15:15with the UN Security Council
15:17resolutions.
15:17Now, the European Union
15:20has a very important role
15:23to play in this effort
15:24in supporting the efforts
15:26of the UN Secretary General.
15:28Why?
15:29Because the Cyprus question
15:31is a European question
15:32and reunifying
15:34the last divided member state
15:35of the European Union
15:37will not only be transformative
15:39for Cyprus,
15:41it will also be transformative
15:42for the region
15:44of the Eastern Mediterranean,
15:45sending a resounding message
15:48for peace and stability
15:49when we desperately need it.
15:51In the context of this,
15:53President von der Leyen
15:54appointed Vice President Fido
15:58as special representative.
16:00This follows the appointment,
16:02if you remember,
16:03of Mr. Johannes Hand,
16:05who had this role.
16:06Let us say that
16:07this is not the first time
16:09that we have an EU personality.
16:12It is, though,
16:13the first time
16:14that we have
16:15a political personality.
16:17And the aim there
16:18is to support the efforts.
16:20It is not to take sides,
16:24but it is very much
16:25to support reunification,
16:27and everyone stands
16:28to benefit from that.
16:29All Cypriots
16:30and, of course,
16:31EU-Turkey relations.
16:33Marina,
16:33I've got to ask you this.
16:35The island has been divided
16:36for more than 50 years.
16:38There have been talks
16:40that didn't lead to anything.
16:42Why should anybody believe
16:43that this time
16:44will be different?
16:47Because conditions
16:48are different right now.
16:49The geopolitical environment
16:51is different.
16:52We have a new...
16:54President Christo Dulides
16:55assumed office
16:57three years ago.
16:58He made it a priority
17:00to re-energize the efforts,
17:02and I think that is the reason
17:04why we have these developments
17:07and the efforts
17:09of the Secretary-General
17:10for a new effort.
17:12And then another important dimension,
17:14Stefan,
17:14is EU-Turkey relations.
17:19Turkey wishes
17:20to come closer
17:22to the European Union.
17:23Cyprus is the first member state
17:25that would like to see
17:26a positive agenda
17:28between the EU and Turkey.
17:30Why?
17:31Because we cannot change geography.
17:33Turkey will always
17:34be our neighbour,
17:35and we want
17:36to have good
17:38neighbourly relations.
17:40There is...
17:40Quick one, Maria,
17:41a quick one.
17:41And so it would also
17:42benefit the EU-Turkey relations
17:44at a time when
17:46Turkey wants it,
17:47the EU wants it.
17:48We have 30 seconds left.
17:49Do you still believe
17:50in reunification,
17:52or has it become
17:53just a political slogan?
17:54We absolutely
17:55believe in reunification.
17:57We prove it.
17:58President Christo Dulides
17:58proves it in action.
18:00We cannot accept
18:01that there is
18:03a European member state
18:05that is still divided
18:06and under occupation.
18:08And the EU
18:09is there
18:10to support
18:11these efforts.
18:12We will be doing
