the european commission president ursula von der leyen has argued that the benefits of the european single extended to countries in the western balkans currently undergoing their membership process. speaking at globsec in bratislava, she outlined how that might look for the right candidate countries. for all countries thatjoin the european union in the last two decades, access to the single market has been the main driver of economic success. but countries that are already on a promising path towards the european union should also benefit from the single market. for example, the western balkans could join our in e—commerce and cybersecurity. we could facilitate our trade and goods and payments. i want our single market to be driver of change, not only for countries that have alreadyjoined the family, but also for those who are still on their way. does africa need to rethink its relationship with business? that's the view of one of the continents leading economists and philanthropists, tony elumelu. he's promoting what he calls "africapitalism", the idea that the private sector can transfor

. >>> earlier i spoke with european commission president ursula von der leyen. here's what she had to say about the war in ukraine. we're now well over a year into russia's war in ukraine. how do you see the eu's role right now, and do you see a path to peace? >> the european union is a strong supporter of ukraine's fight for independence, and the restoring of its territorial integrity and the sovereignty because it is a just cause they are fighting for. therefore, we support them financially, up to 68 billion euros so far. of course with military capabilities, but also we support them to hold, for example, russia accountable by sanctions. we have issued now ten sanctions packages. but you are also asking for where does this lead to? we are working very hard together with ukraine for just peace. this is our goal. and therefore we are supporting the peace formula of president zelenskyy. i think this is an excellent starting point to work towards a just peace that ukraine really deserves. that means that russia has stopped -- has to stop its illegal aggression and

not return to it. how is it possible to simultaneously watch a video where zelensky is with ursula von der leyene same time say well zelensky is in europe and ursula is in kyiv, but i don’t understand it there, you know something already happened on a physiological level, probably this too already some other, you probably know non-homosapiens, and something else, some other form of life on the first tv channel with their propagandists, so what, see you, see this week in the program judicial control with tetyana shustrava, the war will write everything, how the vrp reacted to the unreliable declaration of the head of the economic court of the kyiv region, pavlo gorbasenko the answer will be received quite unexpectedly. why does the agency for the prevention of corruption give carte blanche to unscrupulous judges vita and tetyana shustrova in ukraine for violating the law? reform and the competition for the higher qualification commission of judges of the supreme body of the judicial system, which is responsible for the formation of the judicial body and ensuring its proper level, in particular th

uk prime minister, rishi sunak, and the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, havengthen co—operation" between the eu and uk on illegal migration. prime minister sunak took the opportunity to address the matter during the council of europe summit in iceland, pledging to use the meeting to detail the uk's immigration plan. during his address to the summit, mr sunak called for the support of the council. illegal migration exploits the most vulnerable. it risks crowding out those with a genuine case for asylum. and it strains the trust that our citizens have, notjust in our domestic borders, but in the international system. and that's why so many of us are already acting at the national level and why we need to do more to cooperate across borders and across jurisdictions to end illegal migration and stop the boats. the council already plays a vital role but i urge leaders to consider how we can go further, because we know what we can achieve together. here's bbc�*s political correspondent, iain watson, on the significance of this speech from prime minister sunak. accor

the president of the european commission, ursula von der leyen, will come to kyiv, she will meet with the president of ukraine and volodymyr zelenskyi , the european commission informed that the visit was also noted will once again confirm the unwavering support of ukraine by the european union from tomorrow, may 9, ukraine will celebrate europe day, the corresponding decree was signed by president volodymyr zelenskyi and will protect its interests in connection with the sanctions of the european union, the spokesman of the chinese ministry of foreign affairs , wang wan-bin, said this, the statement was made against the background of rumors about possible inclusion of chinese companies in the 11th sanctions package, according to fination times, the european union is preparing to introduce restrictions against seven companies that supply russia with components to circumvent sanctions for the production of weapons, china strongly opposes illegal sanctions on the basis of sino-russian cooperation on the issue of ukraine. china has always maintained an objective and impartial position, ac

tatyana ursula von der leyen made her extreme statement about the need to provide ukraine with long-ranges as soon as possible. who was it addressed to? i think that this is actually a message primarily for putin, who is now intensifying his inhuman shelling of ukrainian cities, which keeps the people of kiev awake every night and in europe in fact, they are very much concerned about this issue, because such an intensification of the attacks on high russia, it becomes clear that russia does not want to stop, that they are finding an opportunity to build new drones, including with chinese components. they also say here that china despite the fact that he seems to declare that he does not provide russia with military support, but he provides russia with equipment for the production of the same drones, and therefore russia produces its own more drones, russia is shelling ukraine more and more, and if ukraine does not give a weapon that can delay this case and prevent it, ukraine will have a hard time and they understand it. that is, you had to make it. it speaks correctly and it voices what

eu chief ursula von der leyen is ging to visit kyiv tomorrow accourding to her spokeperson.it said the visit will focus on all aspects of european union's relations with ukraine. one thing likely to be discussed is the fact ukraine is still trying to join the european union. we will bring you more on that as we have it. that breaking news, we understand ursula van der leyen it will be meeting with volodymyr zelensky in ukraine. rehearsals are well under way in liverpool for the eurovision song contest. the city is hosting the event on behalf of last year's winners, ukraine, with the first stage of the competition on tuesday. and this year's eurovision entrants have been taking part in a welcome ceremony at st george's hall in liverpool. this is loreen, from sweden arriving to the red carpet which is actually turquoise for sponsorship reasons. loreen won in 2012 and she's back in the competition as one of the favourites with her song tattoo. it wasn't just king charles who received a crown over the weekend. a gloucestershire town also held a ceremony to honour its official "c

president zelensky was joined by the eu commission president ursula von der leyen, who called kyiv "augo bachega, is following developments in the capital. russia announced another wave of air strikes and again the capital kyiv was the main target —— lunch. we heard of the red alert year—round for the end. the ukrainian military said russia had fired 25 cruise missiles and that 23 of them were intercepted by the country's air defence systems. the majority of those missiles were launched at the capital, kyiv. and the authorities here have said there were no casualties as a result of those air strikes. this came one day after russia launched the largest drone attack on the capital since the beginning of the war, with nearly three dozen drones. and we have seen that in the last few days russia has intensified these air strikes. it was the fifth time in nine days that kyiv came under attack. now it seems that part of the russian strategy here is to test and wear down the country's air defence systems, and the ukrainians have been extremely successful in intercepting most of these are miss

volodymyr zelensky welcomed eu commission president ursula von der leyen to kyiv.rkarova, about where the war stands. madame ambassador, welcome to bbc news and thank you forjoining us. there has been a muted ceremony marking europe day, celebrating victory over the nazis in world war ii. i want to ask you about something the russian president, vladimir putin, said, he said the following: are you concerned that these words show that vladimir putin has resolved to continue the war at all costs? thank you for having me. i don't know what fantasyland someone who says this lives in, to be honest, because the whole world sees the truth and the truth is russia attack us in 2014 and russia started another war in 2021 and it was unprovoked, unjustified and the only aggressor there is russia, and actually this war is coming from an indicted war criminal, who was wanted by the international criminal court for crimes he had against ukrainian children rather than distoring the truth. putin, together with the russian federation, is also waging another aggressive war no differen

might think, we signed a free—trade deal, this was one of the last things sorted out with ursula von der leyengo, but the issue was, the free trade in certain areas always depended on whether the products qualified, whether there was enough european content in the parts and we had expected and the company is expected that would be the case when they made a decision is to continue the life of these plants a couple of years ago but what they are saying for the first time today in black—and—white, is we are now unable to meet these rules, therefore under the terms of the treaty, these taxes on their exports, known as tariffs, between 10% for a car and 22% for a commercial vehicle, will apply in january, and that makes their manufacturing uncompetitive, and it is notjust stellantis, this applies pretty much across the board in terms of the uk car manufacturing and it could also apply to european manufacturers, so there maybe a deal to be done for 2024 but the rules tighten even more in 2027 when we will need domestic uk car batteries in orderfor them to will need domestic uk car batteries in order

the european commission president, ursula von der leyen, has said that pre—accession eu funding shouldstment, without giving figures. for all countries that joined the european union in the last two decades, access to the single market has been the main driver of economic success. but countries that are already on a promising path towards the european union should also benefit from the single market. for example, the western balkans could join our digital single market in areas such as e—commerce and cyber security. we could facilitate our trade in goods and payments. i want our single market to be a driver of change, not only for countries that have alreadyjoined the family, but also for those who are still on their way. in other news... german inflation fell sharply in may on lower energy costs, mirroring slowing price growth in france and spain. the annual inflation rate in europe's biggest economy eased to 6.1%, down from 7.2% in april. the latest national data boosts hopes that price pressures will ease quickly across the eurozone. china's service sector expanded rapidly in may, b

into this idea that we can revert supply chains outside of china but they utilise this time ursula von der leyen that goes back to base security concerns and hard lessons from covid. when you have this dependency, and the country it exposes the vulnerability of supply chains. you talk about agenda setting signalling and it is fair to say we could see this as summit speak. do you think this time around, this particular g7 is different and we can see concrete steps come out of it? i do think it is different. it is hard to contextualise but it really does different characteristics from past g7 summits. most notably, for the joe biden administration it was a win, particularly the language on china. jack sullivan and secretary yelena gave speeches on the administration strategy and the clearest articulations of where the thinking is going. on the economic agenda they hope to build. through this communique one question was answered and that was to what degree allies wanted to come on board and through this communique we see that there is broad buy in. they want to help the administration achieve the g

ukraine's capital today hosted eu commission president ursula von der leyen, who called kyiv "a fittingrlier today. at least 13 palestinians have been killed in israeli air strikes on the gaza strip. palestinian officials said six women and four children were among the dead, along with three commanders of the militant group islamichhad. another 20 people were injured. powerful explosions were heard throughout gaza city and rafah in the south of the gaza strip, causing panic among residents. in a statement, the al quds brigade — the military wing of islamichhad — said resistance to israel would continue. the death of an islamichhad hunger striker last week — whilst in israeli custody — was followed by the firing of hundreds of rockets from gaza into israel. i'm joined now by the bbc�*s middle east correspondent, yolande knell. it seems that pressure is ratcheting up it seems that pressure is ratcheting up on both sides. words of a retaliation are expected, we expect to see more retaliation as a conflict intensifies.- to see more retaliation as a conflict intensifies. that is right, reall

you look at the change in rhetoric the past few months from the europeans, from ursula von der leyen, janet yellen, president biden as well. saying we are not decoupling with china, we just want to de-risk our exposure to china. but then you have the continued actions by the american government and japanese government, other countries, to take actions to decouple from china. from the chinese perspective, a semantic change has been made but the actions of the u.s. and allies continue to be exactly the same. their perspective is, this wording change makes no difference when the actions of the u.s. government continue to be the same. you're not seeing a difference in how the u.s. or japan is acting toward china. if anything they are stepping up actions from china's perspective, why would they respond to this basically semantic change that has no effect in reality? manus: ok. let's see where it goes. thank you, james, our correspondent in beijing. let's look at some of the things we will be watching in markets today. 8:00 a.m. u.k. time, we get the preliminary print of spanish cpi for apr

he's meeting with the european commission president ursula von der leyen tomorrow. is now europe day in ukraine. quite the split screen there rosemary. >> indeed. clare, what will president putin likely say about the war in ukraine next hour when he addresses the nation? >> i think despite the fact that this is a scaled down victory day was wearing, it is a importance to putin. he needs to use this opportunity perhaps to re-justified his war in ukraine. him in those feelings of insecurity, i think the russian people are not feeling. because of the various attacks they've seen. the various incidents including of course the drone attack on the kremlin. i think that we can expect to see him use that justification. that he is used multiple times. that he believes this is of course not based in fact, that ukraine is being run by not, sees conflating that with a victory over nazi's and world war ii. look out for that in his speech, look up for any mention of terrorism in the context of these security incidents we have seen in russia. and the symbolism will also be importa
