00:00President Macron has met with Ukrainian soldiers training at a military base in France.

00:11Hurricane Milton has made landfall along Florida's Gulf Coast, bringing storm surges, intense

00:17winds and flooding.

00:20President Volodymyr Zelensky has said Russia's war in Ukraine must end no later than 2025,

00:27as he called for progress on his country's NATO membership.

00:31The situation on the battlefield creates an opportunity to make this choice, a choice

00:37for decisive action to end the war, no later than in 2025.

00:43And we are counting on President Biden's leadership.

00:47We rely on the strong and wise steps of Britain, France, Germany and Italy to bring security

00:55and peace to Europe.

00:58Zelensky spoke while on a visit to the Croatian city of Dubrovnik, where he is participating

01:04in the third meeting of the Ukraine-Southeast Europe summit.

01:09The participants in the summit are expected to adopt a joint Dubrovnik declaration, similar

01:15to those signed at the summits in Athens and Tirana.

01:19Zelensky has also signed an agreement with Croatian President Andrej Plenkovic, which

01:24pledges long-term cooperation between Croatia and Ukraine.

01:28Meanwhile, a spokesperson from Russia's foreign ministry has said it will be impossible to

01:34achieve peace in Ukraine if the country joins the NATO alliance.

01:39In her weekly briefing, Maria Zakharova accused the West of attempting to turn Ukraine into

01:44a springboard for confrontation with Russia.

01:53For the first time, French President Emmanuel Macron met with Ukrainian soldiers trained

01:57on French territory on Wednesday.

01:59In this secret military base in eastern France, everything is done to replicate the exact

02:05conditions on the battlefield, like these trenches that have been specifically dug for

02:10the training.

02:11French military have had to adapt to the Ukrainian army's needs in their fight against Russia's

02:16full-scale invasion.

02:17The threat that we have to face in terms of instruction is rather oriented towards the

02:26knowledge of the drone today, so we take it into account in the realization of the trenches

02:32and especially the camouflage side.

02:35Over the next two months, 2,300 Ukrainian soldiers will be trained in this camp.

02:41Most of them are young recruits who have already completed some sort of basic training course.

02:46They have already completed a few weeks of training in Ukraine before coming to France.

02:52We teach them the know-how we have, the methods of work, and we do it in the form of a partnership,

02:59so it's really an exchange.

03:01France is the first country to train an entire Ukrainian brigade on its soil.

03:06This visit comes right before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's trip to Paris on Thursday

03:12for bilateral talks with the French leader.

03:15Sofia Katsenkova reporting from Paris for Euronews.

03:24Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban divided the European Parliament in the French city

03:29of Strasbourg.

03:32Orban's speech on Hungary's presidency received approval from radical right groups and critique

03:36from others.

03:39The head of Hungary's main opposition party, TISA, Peter Magyar, voiced his concern over

03:44Orban's address.

03:47He didn't give any reply to the questions concerning the collapsed health care system,

03:54the collapsed education system, the public transport, the collapsed Hungarian economy,

04:00the budget situation.

04:02He didn't reply to anything.

04:03He just said some personal critics and spoke about Brussels' bureaucracy and the fight

04:11between Hungary and the European Union.

04:13Several leftist MEPs protested against Orban's authoritarian rule outside of the chamber,

04:19some even boycotting his opening speech and entering only for the debate.

04:24They are especially concerned about respect for democracy and the rule of law in Hungary,

04:28as well as Orban's stance on immigration and foreign policy.

04:33Green MEP Daniel Freund openly called Orban a dictator.

04:40It's a lost presidency.

04:42We will see pretty much zero progress on any of the legislative negotiations.

04:47But then comes the additional risk where Orban misuses his presidency.

04:52And we have already seen that when he went to see Putin and Xi and Donald Trump.

04:58And I fear that we haven't seen all of that yet.

05:01We're facing an extremely tight U.S. election on the 5th of November.

05:06So what happens if Orban, on behalf of the European Union supposedly, tries to intervene

05:14into the U.S. election?

05:16The Hungarian prime minister received support from his political group, the Patriots for

05:20Europe and other far-right groups.

05:22It was a very concrete and focused intervention on the emergencies that a presidency should

05:31face.

05:32So with a particular focus on the issue of energy costs, on the competitiveness of European

05:38companies in dealing with the outside world, with a focus also on the issue of border protection.

05:48At the end of the debate, Orban received applause from one side of the room and loud boos from

05:53the other.

05:58Addressing issues related to family and demography will be at the centre of the upcoming European

06:03Congress on Family, organised by the ISIA party in Croatia.

06:08In a briefing held in Rome, the parties' secretary-general Antonio Giordano, alongside representatives

06:13of Brothers of Italy, explained the focus of the event and why these topics are central

06:18to the Conservatives' political agenda.

06:21The theme is certainly value, on which the Conservatives have a very clear idea.

06:27Great openness to all kinds of rights, but with the family at the centre.

06:32Then there are the economic challenges that families face, and this will be discussed with

06:41economists.

06:42Then there are the technological challenges, because let's not forget that today one of

06:48the elements of the family crisis is the abandonment of dialogue in favour of social

06:55media.

06:56A total of 300 delegates from around the world will attend the event, among them representatives

07:01from various right-wing forces.

07:04The ECR's party mission is to strengthen ties among Conservatives around shared values,

07:10acting as a mediator among different parties.

07:13When we talk about family, we bring everything together, and so we will have members of the

07:19People's Party, we will have members of the Patriots, and of course the majority of the

07:23members will be members of the European Conservative Party.

07:26In general, the ECR's project is to be the centre of dialogue, so the point of agreement

07:34where we can speak to our right and our left, and in the future, I hope to go even further

07:42to the left.

07:43Family and the fight against the demographic crisis gripping Europe have long been central

07:48to the ECR and FTI's political agenda.

07:51In Italy, undoubtedly, we have worrying numbers that need to be put at the centre of the government's

08:00political agenda, which the government has already done with a series of distancing measures.

08:05Giorgia Orlandi for Euronews in Rome.

08:11The outbreak of war in the Middle East has raised serious concerns in Europe.

08:16On Friday, leaders from the nine Mediterranean countries which form the MEDNINE alliance

08:21are due to meet in Cyprus, where they will discuss the risks posed by the escalating

08:26conflict between Lebanon, Israel and Gaza, and explore ways to address the deepening

08:31humanitarian crisis.

08:33Cypriot democracy, through the initiative Amalthea, is well known that we have contributed

08:39to a great extent in addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, but also through the implementation

08:46of the STI plan, the previous third, we have achieved, so far, the repatriation of 2,000

08:53citizens from 20 countries, through the cooperation of seven countries that used the spaces,

09:00the infrastructure of the Cypriot democracy.

09:02Another major concern for Cyprus is the prospect of another wave of migration from the Middle

09:07East.

09:09The island has already been strained by a large influx of refugees, particularly Syrians

09:14arriving via Lebanon.

09:17And now Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulidis is warning that Cyprus has reached its limit.

09:23We must admit that in the last year, the influx of migrants to Cyprus has decreased

09:30to a large extent, but it does not stop when there is this situation in the area.

09:37It is logical that tired people, people who are looking for light at the end of the tunnel,

09:43should try at some point to come back to Cyprus.

09:47Last spring, Cyprus received a large number of refugees and immigrants from Lebanon.

09:52Nikos Christodoulidis and Ursula von der Leyen flew to Virito, which also received a package

09:58of aid worth 1.2 million euros.

10:01But the extent of the war changes the facts.

10:04MEDNINE will examine countermeasures, as a large number of people try to reach Europe

10:11through Cyprus and Greece.

10:13From Lefkosia for Euronews, Apostolos Taikos.

10:17Hurricane Milton has made landfall along Florida's Gulf Coast as a Category 3 storm,

10:25bringing life-threatening storm surges, flooding, rainfall and extreme winds.

10:32Gusts travelling as fast as 100 mph have been reported in the Tampa Bay area,

10:38and flash flood warnings have been issued for nearly 2 million people

10:42in Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater.

10:45More than a million people have currently lost power,

10:50and outages are expected to increase as Milton moves across the state.

10:56Shelters have been set up across the state for those who have had to evacuate their homes,

11:01and Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis has warned people to stay inside.

11:08Stay inside and stay off the roads.

11:10Floodwaters and rushing storm surge are very dangerous.

11:14Stay put until the storm has passed.

11:16If you are in Sarasota, Manatee, some of those areas where the eye of the storm is going,

11:21it may be where things calm down for a minute.

11:24Just understand that means you're in the eye, it's going to go back and get really nasty very soon.

11:29So don't go outdoors until it is confirmed safe.

11:33Search and rescue operations also continue after multiple tornadoes tore across Florida

11:38ahead of Milton's approach, destroying around 125 homes.
