00:00Hi, I'm Stefan Grobe.

00:02You know, sometimes history creates those moments that appear too surreal to be true.

00:08In the United States, next June 14th is set to be one of those.

00:13It's the day the U.S. Army celebrates its 250th birthday.

00:18A historic event worth remembering one year before the 13 colonies declared their independence.

00:24June 14th is also President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.

00:30You see where this is going.

00:32Two birthdays and one opportunity for Trump's long-held desire to stage a military parade in the streets of Washington.

00:40Trump caught the parade bug during his first term,

00:43when French President Emmanuel Macron invited him to the traditional Bastille Day parade in Paris in 2017.

00:50Now Trump wants a big one himself.

00:54For himself.

00:56According to official planning documents, the twin celebration includes almost 7,000 soldiers,

01:02more than 120 military vehicles, 25 Abrams tanks and 50 helicopters.

01:08Now experts are worried that these tanks will tear up the streets and damage bridges.

01:13Washington's infrastructure is not designed to support heavy military stuff, they say.

01:19And the mayor of the District of Columbia didn't outright reject the parade, but she said,

01:25if military tanks were used, they should be accompanied with many millions of dollars to repair the roads.

01:31By the way, money? No problem. Cost estimates run in the tens of millions of dollars.

01:37Nobody has an exact idea yet.

01:39This at a time when Trump and his Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE and run by Elon Musk,

01:47have slashed federal agencies, personnel and programs to crack down on waste.

01:53Meanwhile, opposition to Trump's military parade is growing.

01:56Thus far, in more than a hundred locations across the United States,

02:00a coalition of groups is organizing a nationwide day of protests.

02:04They call the parade a spectacle more suited for kings and dictators, not U.S. presidents.

02:12So it's going to be no King's Day.

02:15One late-night comedian joked parade organizers should consider including America's most dangerous weapon,

02:21a self-driving Tesla.

02:33The European Parliament has approved a major step to curb its dependence

02:37on Russian and Belarusian fertilizers and food products.

02:41In a vote on Thursday, MEPs backed steep new tariffs on nitrogen-based fertilizers

02:46and agri-food imports from Russia and Belarus.

02:49The goal is to cut off a key funding source for Moscow's war in Ukraine

02:53and reduce the EU's reliance on fertilizers from Russia.

02:57Latvian MEP Inese Vaidere, who led the proposal,

03:00says that the EU must stop financing Russia's war with European money.

03:05If the agriculture sector pays for fertilizers,

03:12then the money goes to Russian budget directly.

03:16And in the last time we observed constantly increasing amounts of buying of Russian fertilizers.

03:25And again, this is the second bad thing in this or important thing,

03:30that our agricultural sector became dependent on Russia's fertilizers.

03:36And if Russia suddenly interrupts their supplies, so what then?

03:42Starting 4th July, tariffs on Russian fertilizers will rise from 6.5% to nearly 100% over 3 years,

03:51if EU ministers also back the Commission's proposal.

03:54But European farmers have expressed deep concerns about the impact of these tariffs.

03:58Cédric Benoist from French Farmers Union FNCA warns that they will drive up fertilizers prices.

04:05It remains to be seen whether this move will spark new protests from farmers

04:10following major demonstrations seen across Europe last year.

04:30Ukraine has submitted a list of prisoners of war to the Russians for a prisoner swap in a thousand-for-thousand form.

04:36Vladimir Labuzov, the defender of Mariupol, spent almost 10 months in Russian captivity in 2022.

04:57He told Euronews he hopes that the exchange will be possible,

05:01but also that Ukrainian civilians will return home too.

05:06The Russian Federation conquered not only soldiers, not only soldiers, but also civil citizens.

05:17In particular, a lot of children were deported to Russia from the occupied territories.

05:22And who must be returned without any rules, without any agreements.

05:27So, so, thousand by thousand is good, but it's good if it will only be used to military officers.

05:39Ukrainian prosecutor general stated that 9 out of 10 Ukrainian prisoners of war are subjected to torture and abuse in Russian captivity.

05:50Vladimir was tortured in Russian prisons as well.

05:53He is calling for Europe to increase pressure on Russia to return all Ukrainian prisoners and says

05:59the West does not fully comprehend Russia's intentions in its war against Ukraine.

06:05The more that they have been reported on Russia for a long time,

06:15the subvert had been on Kati.

06:20The goal of mine was to be to join us and join us in the same way,

06:2590% of the military officers get this proposal, but in the open, in the open, they say

06:31to come to us, let's leave Ukraine, let's go to Europe.

06:42The Panhellenic Federation of Journalists Association presented a new code of conduct

06:48that sets out the framework for the use of AI in the workplace.

06:52The Federation of Greek Journalists became the first professional sector in Greece and

06:57the first journalistic federation in Europe to present a code of conduct for the use of AI.

07:12The adoption of the code by the Internet Owners Association is considered a particularly

07:17positive step. In the event that a journalist identifies the application of a practice

07:22on the part of a medium that is contrary to the code, he or she should address the trade

07:27union bodies. In order to draft this code, an AI committee was set up with the participation

07:33of experts in the field, which completed its work pro bono in about a year. The basic idea

07:39underlying this code is that AI is a reality, but it will not replace the job of a journalist.

07:44...

07:45...

07:47...

07:48...

07:50...

07:51of the technicality of the noymo's,

07:53that is how they use it,

07:55and what ways are they,

07:57and what ways are the possible way

07:59to deal with it.

08:01But we must say that

08:03it is a direct protection to the author.

08:05If he asks him to use

08:07the technicality of the noymo's,

08:09in a way that he can be opposed

08:11to the basic and basic knowledge

08:13and to protect, for example,

08:15from a bad or bad way.

08:17The technicality of the noymo's,

08:19the technicality of the noymo's

08:21is not to help,

08:23but he did not come to any case

08:25to the author's work.

08:27Therefore, the author must have

08:29the protection, the protection,

08:31the noymo's,

08:33the product of the noymo's,

08:35the noymo's,

08:37the noymo's,

08:39and the protection of the noymo's.

08:41The key principle governing the code

08:43is that of transparency.

08:45When a journalist uses AI

08:47tools,

08:49there should be a labeling of them.

08:51Discussions are underway between

08:53the Greek government and all journalists

08:55unions in the country.

08:57The main goal is the update of existing legislation

08:59for media operation,

09:01based on that new code of ethics.

09:03I think

09:05I think that the code of the noymo's

09:07is a valid basis,

09:09on which we can make sure

09:11we have to make sure

09:13what will happen,

09:15what will happen in the case of the noymo's

09:17which the public authorities

09:19have put in a very, very, very

09:21right way.

09:23And in the next months,

09:25what will be decided,

09:27because I believe in the dialogue

09:29with the noymo's,

09:31we have achieved very great

09:33and for the country,

09:35we will have more.

09:39Despite the ongoing halt in Georgia's

09:41bid to join the European Union,

09:43the government says it's fully committed

09:45to a full accession to the EU

09:47by 2030.

09:49And so far, the country has already completed

09:5160% of the requirements

09:53for the treaty.

09:55That's according to Levan Davitashvili,

09:57the first Vice Prime Minister

09:59and Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development

10:01of Georgia, whom I spoke to

10:03on the sidelines of the Qatar Economic Forum

10:05here in Doha.

10:07Davitashvili said that there's been what

10:09he calls no real shift in policy

10:11and that the integration agenda

10:13has been formally adopted by the government

10:15with wide-ranging reforms targeted

10:17towards the goal of 2030.

10:19You know, there are many speculations

10:21about our accession path,

10:23but there is no real shift

10:25in our policy.

10:26We have the only policy,

10:28which is the integration agenda.

10:30That's formally adopted by the government

10:34and that also is in the process

10:37of implementation by all institutions,

10:39all government institutions,

10:40all ministers and agencies.

10:42So our ministry is also, of course,

10:44focal point on deep and comprehensive

10:46free trade agreement implementation

10:48agenda, which is quite broad.

10:50And we have already implemented

10:52almost 60% of our requirements.

10:55But we are very active in implementation,

10:58our significant reforms in economy

11:00and in different sectors of economy,

11:02including transport, energy, trade and so on.

11:05So that's a priority agenda.

11:07That still remains as our top priority.

11:10We are fully focused on implementation of PCFTA

11:14and integration policy.

11:16We have clearly declared that our target

11:19is full-field membership by 2030.

11:22We understand it's a long process,

11:24but we are fully focused to implement

11:26this significant reform

11:27and we are still loyal to these reforms

11:30and this process goes in a very active way.

11:33It's a very easy way.

11:34.

11:36.
