00:00
Israel continues air and ground operations in Lebanon and strikes in Gaza.
00:05
Refugee camp got hit with 18 dead, including children.
00:07
Still no ceasefire in sight.
00:10
MEPs have held a debate on the crisis facing the European automotive industry.
00:20
After dairy products, China decided to impose sanctions on European brandy, raising duties
00:25
by up to 39 percent in retaliation for the electric car tariffs.
00:31
The International Monetary Fund warns about European complacency and urges competitiveness.
00:43
The Israel army struck Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon on Wednesday, as it continues
00:48
ground and air operations in the area.
00:52
And 185 Hezbollah targets have been struck, with soldiers on the ground killing members
00:56
of the group in close-quarter combat, according to Israeli officials.
01:02
The strike was a response to recent rocket attacks by Hezbollah during the night.
01:06
The acting leader of the Iran-backed militant group, Sheikh Naim Qasem, claims that Hezbollah's
01:11
military capabilities remain intact despite weeks of Israeli bombardment.
01:16
The group will soon name a new leader to replace Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed by an Israeli
01:21
strike last month.
01:22
Qasem said and insisted a ceasefire will not happen unless Israel withdraws from Gaza.
01:28
Meanwhile, Israeli's latest bombardment of central and northern Gaza has killed at least
01:33
18 people, including five children, Palestinian health officials said on Wednesday.
01:38
Two strikes hit tents for displaced people in Nusayrat and Beresh refugee camps in central
01:42
Gaza.
01:43
According to Palestinian news reports, the strike hit a crowd who were waiting to collect
01:47
water.
01:49
The bodies of some of the victims, including three children, were brought to the Al-Aqsa
01:53
Martyrs Hospital in the town of Deir al-Balaw.
01:56
Blood continues to spill in the region, with no apparent sign of a ceasefire.
02:05
According to Viktor Orban, Ukraine cannot win the war and the European Union should
02:09
aim for a ceasefire between Kiev and Moscow.
02:13
The Hungarian Prime Minister is in Strasbourg, presenting the priorities of the Hungarian
02:17
Council Presidency to the European Parliament.
02:21
His press conference was interrupted by a member of a Hungarian opposition party.
02:28
He threw fake banknotes on the PM, calling him a traitor.
02:35
Orban, who is often criticized for being supportive of Russia, told a room packed with reporters
02:40
that better communication with President Putin was needed to get a ceasefire.
02:45
Quizzed by Euronews, he conceded that in the meantime EU countries could keep up their
02:50
military aid to Ukraine on a national basis.
02:53
Those who think what we are doing as European Union is good and strategically right, let's
03:01
support the Ukrainians.
03:02
Don't disagree with that like Hungary, we don't.
03:06
That belongs to the national government.
03:09
The Hungarian Prime Minister also called for stricter controls to detect migrants at the
03:13
borders and hotspots outside the EU.
03:16
And he doubled down on the request for his country to be exempt from the new EU migration
03:21
policy.
03:25
He also still seems ready to send refugees to Brussels to protest against it.
03:30
We will respect the European law, we will respect all the regulations, but if somebody
03:38
who gets an asylum in Hungary would like to come to Brussels, you know, we are ready to
03:42
have them.
03:45
Hungary's presidency started in July, but their diplomats have been facing boycotts
03:49
and isolation in the EU institutions from the start.
03:53
Parliament's rapporteur for the situation, Hungary, believes OrbΓ‘n is actively undermining
03:58
the common European asylum system.
04:03
He uses the rhetoric just, you know, to get more, a stronger position, to blackmail in
04:12
order to get EU funding.
04:15
It's a lot of rhetorics.
04:18
And OrbΓ‘n's biggest prize for the Hungarian presidency?
04:22
To get Romania and Bulgaria fully into the Schengen area, apparently.
04:30
MEPs have held a debate on the state of the automotive industry as car manufacturers across
04:37
the continent continue to face factory closures brought on by sluggish sales.
04:44
A key focus of the debate was the decline in demands for European electric vehicles,
04:50
a trend that's been exacerbated by rising competition from Chinese manufacturers.
04:56
Car sales in the EU are below the pre-COVID level, while China has become the largest
05:02
market.
05:03
Also, in the third market, the demand has shifted towards zero emission vehicles.
05:09
We have set a clear framework for transition to zero emission vehicles with 100% zero emission
05:14
cars targeted by 2035.
05:17
But critics say the EU's 2035 target is impossible to meet, arguing there is not enough funding
05:24
or infrastructure.
05:26
A resolution on the issue will be put to a vote in a future session.
05:57
French truck drivers are blocking a main motorway in Alsace in protest against the
06:02
potential introduction of a heavy goods vehicles tax from 2027.
06:07
The new tax, which comes at a cost of 15 cents per kilometre, aims to reduce transit traffic
06:13
on the A35 motorway, which sees up to 10,000 trucks pass along it each day.
06:20
Many of these lorries use the Alsace motorway to avoid paying the high eco-taxes already
06:25
in place on German motorways.
06:30
Those working in the transit industry say the addition of this new tax would threaten
06:34
the survival of some businesses.
06:51
Councilors are set to vote on the proposal on the 21st of October.
06:59
The International Monetary Fund is recommending that Europe sticks together in the face of
07:03
fragmentation within the single EU market in order to avoid a financial crisis.
07:09
As the world grapples with crises emerging one after another, such as Covid and the full-scale
07:13
invasion in Ukraine, managing director Kristalina Georgieva says that Europe needs to start
07:19
preparing for other shocks to make sure it's not left behind.
07:22
It is important for Europe to stand tall on its achievements.
07:29
One massively well-performed task to free itself from dependency on Russian oil and
07:38
gas.
07:39
It has been done remarkably well.
07:42
Europe can be proud of it.
07:45
Europe can be proud of the attention it pays to the big challenges of today and tomorrow
07:51
β climate, demography, technology and, a critical one, fairness in society.
08:00
Georgieva says that Europe needs to start by reducing bureaucracy and administrative
08:05
inefficiency and to prioritise developing businesses that can compete competitively
08:09
on a global level.
08:11
Europe should be careful not to be complacent.
08:15
The world is moving very rapidly.
08:19
Attention to European competitiveness is so important.
08:23
Right now, Europe is rightly focused on the immediate task in hand β bring inflation
08:31
down.
08:33
Big success so far β don't lose sight of data if you need to calibrate appropriately
08:41
steps taken in the future.
08:43
And very important for Europe β reignite growth.
08:47
If growth remains as anemic as it is now, it would be hard for Europe to achieve the
08:56
objectives that people here aspire for β a digital, green economy that benefits people
09:05
and offers opportunities for businesses.
09:08
Liv Stroud, in Berlin, for Euronews.
09:23
Beijing brandy is going to face sanctions from China.
09:28
From Friday onwards, Beijing intends to apply temporary anti-dumping measures against spirits
09:33
β mainly cognac.
09:37
Custom duties for EU companies could reach 39% β an increase that will be a painful
09:42
blow for the sector.
09:47
Today is really a new reality in that sense because it's going to bite.
09:51
It's going to bite for the companies at a very short notice, as I said, on Friday.
09:56
It's going to be significant amounts in the sense that China is our second largest export
10:02
market and in 2023 we exported spirits of around 800 million euros, 90% of that in value
10:09
was constituted by brandies, mainly cognac.
10:12
Officially, Beijing claims to have proof and good reason for implementing these sanctions.
10:17
However, China's decision comes just days after the EU confirmed that it would impose
10:22
additional custom duties on Chinese electric cars β a surcharge that has divided the
10:27
member states.
10:28
China's retaliation seeks to further fracture the Block of 27, as it already planned similar
10:34
measures against European dairy products and pork.
10:39
Although the term trade war has not been mentioned yet, some MEPs are already calling to present
10:45
a united front against the Asian giant.
10:49
We need to think as one block.
10:53
If we do not act like that, finding the necessary internal compromises, China now, but also
11:00
in the future, and maybe other parts of the world will just win any competitiveness, contrast
11:09
with us.
11:10
We need to use the power of the European market and this is one test for European unity.
11:17
I think that without unity we are doomed.
11:20
Each of our member states cannot stand a trade war with China.
11:26
The European Commission is going to challenge China's decision before the World Trade Organization.
11:31
The institution asserts that these measures don't have grounds.
11:38
Negotiations between two sides are expected to intensify until the end of October, when
11:42
the EU will implement anti-dumping measures on electric vehicles from China.
