, because we don’t want a pro-belarus europe, we don’t want a pro- russian europe, be pro-european, justcan, let the germans think about the germans, let the austrians think about the austrians, we want europe. i thought about myself, we are ready to talk with such politicians, because in reality there should be dialogue, only a fool, living in neighboring houses, refuses dialogue, we need to trade, we need to talk about common problems, migration, this concerns everyone, yes, you absolutely right, worth it it should be noted that the past week was also remembered for the holding of the g7 summit, which is noteworthy; on the eve of the summit , a political publication published material with the excellent headline six lame ducks: have massive support from the electorate. in 2019, matteo salvini's league won a crushing victory in italy, and marine depin won in france. however, almost nothing has changed in the european parliament, with the liberals and their allies dominating brussels. will we see something different this time? i think it will be the same. and many europeans don't even vo

, because we don’t want a pro-belarusian europe, we don’t want a pro-russian europe, be pro-european,not pro-american, let the germans think about the germans, let the austrians think about the austrians, we want europe to think about itself, we are ready to talk with such politicians, because in fact there should be a dialogue, only a fool living in neighboring houses. 2020 in sanctions policy, and some people of course, they decided to go to the polls, but most will not take part because they do not want to take part in it. the next government, the next european parliament will not be representative. i don’t think that this is likely, because these groups are too different, some of them are moderate and... after all, by and large, politicians should really change to more conservative pro-european ones sooner or later, and these politicians, i don’t think that they will pursue a fairly loyal policy towards russia, between in other words, the strengthening of europe is dangerous not only for the united states, the fact is that those stories that... an insulted europe, having thrown of

to shape the future of europe. to this end, you officials organize the convention in 2022, in which $800.00 randomly selected europeans came together, develop their ideas for the future of europe. at the same time, it sent out large scale citizens surveys. the results of these efforts were clear. people wanted more rights to the european parliament and less nationalism the in september of 2023 and her law states that the union speech before the election funded lion took stock and outlined the possible woods that european votes has had cooled for very long lived europe long labor and the election, it will be the time for people to reflect on the state of our union and the work done by those that we present them. but it would also be a time to decide on what kind of future and what kind of a europe they want from the and a member of the conservative city you is comparatively progressive in have policies and supports developing that you you further. and i will always support this house and all of those want to reform

so position to europe. however, that is a convergence between the interest of the p p and those of mold mold or right wing m e p's, such as to get talia nationalists around can. you cannot pull catchy me. both have down plate the importance of climate issues and their election campaigns. the center rights has partly adopting the stones at the right wing camp that even supports efforts to reverse and that to climate policy. decisions from that lions green deal is on the fire. the president needs to adopt her agenda with a parliament shift to the right. migration has replaced climate change as the issue at the top of the priority list. how is your p and policy changing in this area? under the growing influence of the running in 2020, from that lion rejected right wing politicians the isolationist policy we are convinced that each human being has a solemn dignity set can never be touched. independent with this individual does come from an obviously the extreme right has a different view. a tate has never given

in europe, you've been a risk shrinking and the idea of an open europe of a free rope. and the far right success means that the risking blues to support the will to support our cleaning and friends in this fight for freedom and full democracy. that's why it's historic such a decision. i'm sure i'm of the opinion that april crane falls, then putting b continue. the next talk at this end, part of the european union is hybrid or a text, and that's why we have to do our best to step lives. we're trying to give them put support for we need to more and vis, right? extreme, maybe lose. that's clear. and there's a reason why people might turn to the right. isn't that there's widespread discontent in europe with politics and outcomes? not just migration, a report to the commission in february talked about a broad geography of discontent. the declining regions, many small cities, towns and rural areas have a sense of dispatch, not just limited to economic hardship, but also to have a feeling of being politically disenfranchised. socially alienated, you have sympathy with them. ab

welcome to europe votes 202a. hello and welcome from sunny lisbon, where we are coming to you from today. i'm mark lowen, one of the bbc�*s europe correspondents. and over the course of this programme, we will bring new reports from across the continent as the election gets under way. but first, what's it all about? elections to the european parliament take place every five years. it's the only directly elected institution of the european union. shaping the bloc�*s policies, legislation and budgets. voting happens by proportional representation. each country gets a number of members of the european parliament, or meps, relative to its size. the meps sit in transnational groups according to their ideology. so, for example, there's left and right, eurosceptics and greens. the balance between them could change considerably this time. and this is the first european election since the united kingdom finally left the eu. polling is taking place across three days, with different countries voting at different times. the f

some other continental dream besides a peaceful europe?ave any other duty besides the protection of our peoples, our europe and the rules-based international order, no, russia has different goals, different dreams, she is alone against everyone, all of us, and that is why we all must together to force her change, and it is possible, because there are no walls that do not fall. ladies and gentlemen, in a few days, together with mr. chancellor of germany and other leaders of europe and the world, we will meet in switzerland at the inaugural peace summit. russia tried to disrupt this summit, but it will take place, and it is a joint success of ukraine and dozens of countries. usually, after a war , circumstances were determined either by the victors, or by... a few strong ones who could step in and impose something on everyone else, even against their will, now we propose a fundamentally different format, such that no one can manipulate, disrupt agreements, as russia has done repeatedly, and so that all voices are visible, the voices of the w

he was part of the liberal party in europe. then when you still kept him, when it and he was that he most of the european peoples body and then i'm a side of this group. the, they use a go, i expelled him from the party to make clear that enough is enough. and that was enough and then designed to, to we excluded him so he's not any more party member in the family. that's why our position is greece constantly and let me use another name for showing you our clear dna. we have the polity of the on the test. he's my previous us are as positive you that he's now police pregnant, is that he kicked out kuchinski off office and brought poland back to europe. and those are roughly all back to poland. so that's a real dna you'll be and i'm proud of on this would you be. busy a keen to have your family include georgia, maloney the far right prime minister of it. to me, i gave you an answer vcr guarantee. judging. maloney is president of easy our lives . it comes with the 40. i'm president of suit up in people's fund. they respect each oth

there is a new stage of war in eastern europe. what do you think about this decision? yes , it certainly is. i think this is one of the few escalations we've seen. we last week we saw attacks by ukrainians . it is special for russia, considering the words of vladimir putin, we can also understand this , and also what the minister of foreign affairs of russia sergey lavrov said, that they consider this action as an existential threat against russia , we can understand. it is understandable why they are so much. worrying about this talk, russia can actually tell the difference between missiles that have nuclear warheads and missiles that have conventional warheads, and i think that the west is aware of the degree of increased tension that have been created and we see that america has said: it has recently announced that the permission given to ukraine will not be extended and in fact it will not include offensive missiles and long-range missiles. this permission was given by president biden a few days ago. the previous day announced that this license was given to ukraine

happening in the united states now, a reversal and a reduction in the role of the united states in europepossible, plus the growth of populists in the european union, i have in the european parliament, as well as in the countries, he can radically change the european union into which we are integrating. that is, such, you know, thoughts, they should possibly remain on the margins, but we should not let them out of sight, well, and perhaps the last such point, we saw that despite the war, even in our best friends and neighbors, there are complaints against us, because we are a competitor, and this, of course, requires our government and our society and business to consolidate in order to protect our own interests, because we are, in fact, ee... agricultural, that is, and it is clear that our integration is liked and disliked by a large number of countries and business environments there, so it is clear that we need to be sharp and protect our interests. mr. oleksandr, i would like to talk with you about the north atlantic alliance, in particular about the summit that will be held in july t

they feel they deserve to join europe. they believe that they have been fighting a war for europe. they don't see fighting. i mean, of course they're fighting for their country, but they also see themselves as holding the last line of democracy against approaching. who does want to was antagonized by the expansion of nato, but also as made it very clear of what he wants. so ukraine has been waiting patiently to join you. and if the far right does get in, it's pretty doubtful they will or that it would take an extended period of time. and that would be deeply disappointing, especially for the ukrainians that really have been losing their lives, suffering terribly. and in many ways what they see as fighting fighting the war to keep democracy in europe. i want to ask you both about another huge issue that's been on the table for the, for some time. and that's climate policy. for so many is, europe isn't a real leader in this area, but we have seen that in the past few months, certainly very visible funding protests, for instance, on the streets of many capital cities. and that has bee

europe month. today, europe is preparing for war. every day we see a new part of the road to hell being prepared. every day there is talk of donating hundreds of billions of euros to ukraine. from the deployment of nuclear weapons in the heart of europe from the plan registration of our children. in a foreign army, in the nato mission in ukraine, in the ukrainian military battalions , it is as if a belligerent train has cut its brakes and its locomotive has gone crazy. europe gives weapons to ukraine, weapons that may come back to us. it was in the shadow of these criticisms and protests of the war opponents in the european union that the secretary general of nato said: "ukraine has already been allowed to attack russian territory, because some nato allies have not imposed restrictions on the use of their weapons in russian territory before." they were. meanwhile , let's talk about the writer and professor of ohai university, mr professor brit has more than 18,000 scientific citations . professor, hello. hello, in recent weeks, many

messaging problem is not in europe. europe is close.all europeans see the threats the russians pose. in america, the average joe in ohio, i don't know that can be said. does the average person in america understand that the russia threat is not just a threat to europe, it's a global threat, to global stability, democracy and more? that messaging in the u.s. around the summit, the summit is a perfect time for us to ramp up our strategies. tying in why the average person should care, as a result of the cold war, i think the sentiment is still there. people still see russia as an adversary in ways. i don't want to close the door to russian civil society. not everyone agrees with putin. that's important. maintaining relevance and making the average person in america understand why we spend so much on defense, that is key. >> to slightly disagree, i don't think the pertinence of war, sort of, the support for the continuance sacrifices europe has made, across europe, the baltics are great example of a part of europe that has felt russian impe

during this visit, well, no, he does not represent the united to europe, but he is one of the voices and one of the visitors to beijing from europe, who is actually trying to convince the chinese that it is in their own interests to influence their junior partner, the russian federation, to stop this war, because the cooperation between china and the russian federation , they worsen general, general atmosphere of relations with both europe and the united states, and europe and the united states. are forced to introduce sanctions, restrictions and reduce their dependence on china, the vice chancellor of germany, the minister of economy, was there just a few days ago, he spoke of course about actual german affairs and, first of all, the competition that china poses in automobiles and construction, you rightly said that one among the hot topics now are chinese cars, electric cars that support. manufacturers are supported by the state of china and therefore they in fact, let's say they have a competitive advantage over european ones in general and german ones in particular, but it is cle

it's a political mind field trying to consolidate europe's fragment. the defense industry, but if you can't be your rival, or in this case, acquire them. maybe just join them. for decades, some of your biggest defense companies have been trying to work more closely on big ticket. military platforms like takes aircraft, missiles, larger programs that can take decades to come to fruition, and are often subject to big cost overruns. with member states procure alone is often more expensive and at risk. duplicating work across the u. one assessment from 2017 found that europe had almost 6 times as many different weapon systems as the us, the products of so many national programs. there's something new every week and i'm kind of discussing this with decades. tim lawrence and is a consultant in the defense industry and an analyst at the international institute for strategic studies in britain. as he says, a problem with joint projects is that past efforts often haven't gone well. some have been almost disastrous. lots of corporations have either failed steeri

and they wanted a europe that would turn the page on centuries of division in europe. to war with each other something like four times in the previous century. in 1945, they wanted to build a europe where that wasn't possible any more. where are we, say, in comparison with the past? this is a period of huge anxiety. i feel anxiety myself. you and i have seen war up close. we've seen genocide up close. we know what it looks like. we know what it sounds like. we know what it smells like. and ifear, in western europe in particular, the danger of complacency. and i think that europe divides on this question as well, between the west and east. one of the things that's happened since 1989 is that eastern europe now, which initially welcomed in 1989, welcomed the westernising process, welcomed being brought into the european union, there is a populist drive in many of these eastern and central european countries against westernisation. they feel that the western model has been imposed upon them, or sufficient numbers of the population feel a western model that they don't reco

this is europe's battle tank of the future. but only on paper right now, the main ground combat system, or in g c, s, should most drones and more firepower than its predecessors. the german low part of the french looks at germany and france are building the n g c s together. but they struggle to figure out who is going to build which parts. and actually, that makes sense. just consider the main gun of the m g. c us, one of the partner firms, french company next, or has a 140 millimeter gun to escalade. another partner german manufacturer, ryan montalvo, has its own new guns for 130 millimeter barrel. whoever gets their weapon onto the m g. c. s should have a guaranteed production line for decades to come, giving them an advantage in other markets. european countries want to work together on defense for cooperation can be hard. no country wants to disadvantage its own industry. and that is the basic tension that's been undermining european cooperation for decades. the question now is that changing? there's a war on europe store

is stronger, stronger than the evil that deaths to threaten europe. now, just as 80 years ago, we can prove the power of all unity, the power of the alliance, the power of our shed ideals, east nations, speeding it off the w correspondence. sonya found the con. who's in paris? what else to lensky told french to make his it was a preston zalinski um, you know, received a standing ovation um the moment you entered uh the assembly enough and not a problem since parliament. and he kind of, you know, touched on some of the teams that was invoked during the tooth. and we'll see of the dd landings in normandy yesterday where, where he was also present and where, you know, wisdom the, those pay tributes to his country's bravery for not giving into russian aggression . and so zalinski kind of, you know, do 5 lives between the hollows of world war 2 and the continuing bombardments of the ukrainian populace. he says this is valid for ukraine has the same existential value for your. he described russia as a common enemy. and you said this battle is, is essentiall

we do $3 billion worth of trade with europe. what happens in europe is a big deal for higher.eeds at home. i talked first about the fact that a lot of the money we are spending new hampshire higher businesses and u.s. businesses to our defense industrial space in one of the things we sell from the e have and our manufacturing defenses in order. we are getting the u.s. from the sup package in ukraine about 25 billion to u.s. firms creating good jobs and keeping people working. the threat f polluted and europe. the threat to nato.@: poland and other pve friendship. like i said earlier. as i said to the gentleman who raised grandsons. i do not wany grandsons said off to fight in europe because we did not take care of the threat from russia now. right now, the courageous ukrainians are fight t i want to support them in every way that i can. so that we don't have to send american soldiers over to fights successful in ukraine and tesot. that is something people very much understand. >> thank you. that is a on. it is been a program. your bipartisanship also shines through and speakin

and so countries in europe are goinoo deal with this for decades to come.nd so c is involved indirectly, and i was intimately in an effort to basically change t nature ofrr territorial lines and military balances in the that is core to our strategic purpose to the aspirations and strategic assessment of our partners in europe. we tend to focus on statements that some will suggest ambival this reality but i willee weeks ago in brussels, in nato, and i that deep consultations with nato partners. this is a challenge that is now well understood and recognize. and i think if you look at the itinerary of pre xi visit toouple of weeks ago it gives you an indication that nature of some of these debates. i mean, france, hungry and slovakia is kind of an unusual it's like grouping of nations but these arehe the three places that affect president xi felt that he hadel some abity to make his case or not to be challenged here but eings in france i think president macron was very clear about some of the concerns that europe as a whole i know, china's entry into the strat

-- europe.petence. any chance that any of this is incompetence at this point, europeor the united states , that these people civilly do not know what they are doing? chad: they have talked about that plan and are talking about executing that plan for the last three and a half years. there are similard&ities here ad in the states, in the eu, where they talk about designing border security and emigration systems consistent withrican values or european values. you say that sounds great, but let's take aook at what those values are. as far as.q■p i can tl, of the values out of step with the american citenry and the european is they believe anyone should come to the u.s. or eu, despite what the immigration law sath asylum. in u.s. law, that's not right. it is a discretionary authority. if you are here, you should not be removed under almost any circumstance i think these values are out of touch with the american public and we see it of here in the u.s., the worst is sort border crisis we've ever seen

europe needs to be stronger because we can't always trust nato. now is really saying that it wouldn't surprise me| if something would . happen in the future. so that really scares me. opinion polls suggest younger voters have helped the far—right make significant gains. these young farmers now say the eu isn't listening to them and that immigration continues to be a problem. the reason why we vote for the right is that we have a status quo that we want them to do away with. we have global issues that we don't know how we can take control of. we can actually solve the issues that the left tried to solve but failed to do so. there is a big issue when it comes to security and when it comes to keeping track of all the people that come in. i think that europe doesn't have the capacity to receive that many people. for more on this, i spoke to lucinda creighton, ireland's former minister for european affairs, and senior fellow at the centre for european policy analysis. for our viewers around the world, lucinda, put into context for how important the eu

europe is the leader in graphene. it's going to be one of the disruchlters in the semiconductor companies and for once we have a company that's a world leader. >> i'd also like to broaden out our conversation and look out for ai. we are getting quite a lot of moves in our space, for instance, with apple announcing a new ai overhaul strategy. it's draup a bit of criticism from players including elon musk. he said the deal with ai is not one that's good for consumers. ultimately do you agree with his comments, and more broadly, do you think apple's step is one in the right direction? >> well, apple really is in a catch-up situation. they're not one of the leaders of ai. it's very interesting that they're now getting off of the ai bandwagon to catch what is probably the most exciting technology that we've ever developed, so it's good to see apple take note of that and building it into their product. it's also clear, of course, america is leading in ai, however, we do have european strengths. we've just seen the funding a
