statements of concern also from kaya kyle us, the new hi representative for foreign policy in the european union, but of the rules of other european countries. apart from that phone cool, we've only seen victor old bond travel that and basically congratulate mr. yvonne, it should be, he's a friend of his. so what do we make of how europe is positioning itself to? what's georgia right now? well, i, i think europe is severely distracted and not paying enough attention to what's happening now. because georgia is it pivots country in the region, and it's a pivotal country for, for europe as well. um and not only if we look at the caucasus region but also be younger, sent to asia and, and what i think is was overdue. dot president my call called but i think of the european leaders should call as well. and the european union should get involved more strongly. i understand, of course, that the european union was in a state of transition over the past weeks and months. but now the new commission to definitely get engaged and not let russia basically organize the field and, and the political, the, the po

and it looks like russia traditionally unders to the value of georgia to the european union, better than many european countries themselves. for instance, george's international faction as a breach between the white or black sea region and the wider casting, ah, see region the central asian region. so rich with the resources. so rich with huge untapped economic potential. and georgia is basically the link, the only link between these 2 vast regions that would gain a div access to the central asian nations toward the european markets. the old site, brushing control or outside the running control. and the same same goes for the european union. we are the way of reaching out to these nations and how this would help further diversify energy imports and in the health center of energy security over here in union, there's 2 and i cannot tell, but to connect again was to the, the record. this is not a football star, georgia has many football starts. he's not one of them. is a former mediocre football or her place in, in russia. okay. well, he played and i, i the time, but i really love, i did ch

but certainly there will be a huge effort from european union, not only from the eu budget but also fromow to involve the private sector, the european investment bank. so a collective effort that can strengthen the security pillar of the alliance on the european side. shashank joshi: thank you so much. and one quick follow up of you too, stefano, which is this question of how you balance your responsibilities. you are sitting above a very disparate bloc and in a way that's your strength. you have a very large block bears huge economic powers, regulatory powers, all kinds of things. it also has an obvious diversity of views and we've just seen one member state talk very up close and personal with vladimir putin with ideas that don't resonate as -- viktor orban, of course -- that doesn't resonate very much with a lot of other states who are alarmed and concerned by this. so i guess the question some people may be asking is how do we know europe is united, is europe united and is this a sign of a serious dissonance? does this break european unity in a serious way? stefano sannino: european

he's denied that his government is suspending moves to join the european union.king to the bbc�*s russia editor, steve rosenberg, who's in tbilisi. keep in mind, it was the georgian prime minister's announcement three days ago suspending — until the end of 2028 — georgia's bid tojoin the european union. it was that announcement that has been bringing people onto the streets here since thursday. let's listen to what the prime minister said three days ago. translation: today we have decided not to put the issue i of opening negotiations with the european union on the agenda until the end of 2028. and because the idea ofjoining the eu is so possible with georgians, that decision to suspend accession talks caused shock and anger here. when i asked the prime minister today whether he understood the public mood, he said, "suspension? i didn't talk about that." many of the protesters have said to me that by suspending until the end of 2028 — georgia's bid tojoin the european union, you have stolen your government, has stolen their european dream, their european future a

in 2008usgdp surpassed the european union for the first today. the headline for the report sit asks european leadership to the enhance investment of 800 billion euros per year over the next decade. why because europe has fallen so much behind the united states an indeed other competitors and unless it gets act together and legislate on vitally important subjects but also transform the way the economy works it may fall further behind. this is the other major priority and i think the european union does too. keep in mind that they will play important role. agreement today which i think was mentioned and is very welcome, also comes on the backdrop of massive political problems in europe and in particular mainly france which has been shall we say rather skeptical. you are going to allow sectors to be utilized and making sure that you're able to grow a lot more at the same time, of course, allow for economy which is great to give it long-term structural advantage going forward and therefore would allow this commission to become, the geopolitical commis

fascinating battle and — european union. fascinating battle and lots _ european union.f _ european union. fascinating i battle and lots of negotiations ahead. one to watch a day. thanks forjoining us in claiming that for us. do stay are set —— is to stay with us here on bbc news to see how that goes. the fate of tiktok in north america could be decided this week. in a decision due today a federal appeals court is set to say whether or not they uphold an appeal by tiktok over a us law, which demands the social media app is sold by its chinese parent company bytedance. so what can we expect today? that's what i put to social media expert, jasmine enberg earlier. it is not looking good for tiktok right now given the difficult state that it had in september and as mentioned, we are expecting a decision today and there's a lot of different ways that this could shake out. we could see the judges uphold the law in which case tiktok will appeal to the supreme court pretty quickly. we could also see the judges uphold the law but say that it is unfair to tiktok because it is sing

and - european union. yeah, that is the key question. and i - european union.on. yeah, that is| the key question. and i am not sure for a pivot point right here with this new presidency. obviously, as president salome zourabichvili quite clearly, she has a popular mandate. she has the legitimacy of the public, georgians voted for her. while in contrast, mikheil kavelashvili, he has been appointed by one political party and sworn in in a parliament with an isolated party without any public support, without any public participation and diplomats not present. the contrast between these two presidents is quite clear. ~ ., these two presidents is quite clear. . . . , , , these two presidents is quite clear. . . . ,, , . clear. what happens next? we have seen _ clear. what happens next? we have seen these _ clear. what happens next? we have seen these largely i have seen these largely peaceful protests, but are there fears georgia could once again slide into violence, do you think? i again slide into violence, do you think?— again slide into violence, do you think? a

but you don't need the european union to achieve all that. you very much for joining me on hardtalk. thank you. thank you, stephen, and goodbye. hello there. the rest of this week looks like one of two halves. we'll certainly have some quieter, colderweather for the next couple of days with some decent spells of sunshine. could see some snow on the hills across the north through tuesday night, and then as we push towards the end of the week, it turns milder but very much wetter and windier as deep areas of low pressure moving off the atlantic. so we're in this ridge of high pressure, though, for tuesday and this wedge of colder air, as you can see on the airmass chart, so it will be a colder start for many for tuesday morning. very cold across scotland, perhaps down to —7, —8 celsius over the highlands and the grampians. and there will be some freezing fog patches around. some fog patches further south too, which may lift into low cloud, but for many, it'll be a dry and a sunny day with light winds. but across south—west england, northern ire

my message is clear, the european union once you create to win this will, we will do whatever it takes about. while the vision comes that just dollars off the taking on new roles following the general elections and the european parliament this past summer, repeatedly on top of cool. so me thing, great was that in ski and other local officials a, both the officials are 9 to favor, increased minute tree and cache vic t f, and they stand behind ukraine's hopes to join the e. u. uh, nato blogs. so let's talk about this crossing live now to independent doctor john, this is sonya founded in here joining us on this sunday program on not a very good evening. sonya, what do you make of this? my day of 1st day stepping into a new role told me you officials are going where straight to the left, i'll get confused where the books priorities are as european economies spiral right now. but what do you expect from this visit? sonya as a 1st of all, what do you mean the 1st visit to kids and then just one day in office who is ruling the is you careful? european union members who are there, but okay, it

right now you are georgias and boss that are to the european union and what can be you do to prevent georgia from moving away from the block as well. first of all, we have to say the full majority of the georgia public supports here. again, integration of polls consistently demonstrate that it is about 80 percent of support. so the government's move is very much income for addiction to the choice of the people you work in. and the protest is a, is obviously the sign of it. we still, we'll uh, with this a point to month of the president and sort of a picture of the crumbling of european institutional democracy in georgia because the presidency was the last institution that was not controlled by the party in control, georgia dream. and now that is also being reclaimed, so your opinion has to act both as a normative and your political power, which it claims to be. this means acting in pursuit of its interest in pursuit to visit your political interest, but without jeopardizing the values. and i think here the interest of the you and interest of the georgia public, those people who are p
