does brussels have the power to finally show viktor orbán a red card.s necessary to define what a red card is. to stick to the football metaphor, a red card means that the player must leave the field. it's not going to happen, nobody can be kicked out of the european union, so unlike football here he can have a few yellow cards and still stay in the game for now. a trip to moscow, as well as a trip to beijing, and the way these trips were conducted is a serious violation, both registered and... so it caused a great scandal and publicity within the european union, certain political countermeasures have already been applied. for example, some eu member states are boycotting high-level meetings of the hungarian eu presidency. viktor orban was not invited to the european parliament. to present his presidential program. the head of the european commission, ursula fondeen, is not going to come to budapest, which is a very strong diplomatic signal. however, when it comes to practical countermeasures of a kind of punitive measures, the eu cannot do anything. un

therefore, the president of the european council, charles michel, called viktor orban's trip not onlyo moscow, but also to beijing and washington a political mistake. he also stated that the european union reacted to this with a yellow card. does brussels have the power to finally show viktor. we need to define what red is card. if we stick to the football metaphor, then a red card means that the player must leave the field. it's not going to happen, nobody can be kicked out of the european union, so unlike football, here he can get a few yellow cards. will still stay in the game for now. the trip to moscow, as well as the trip to beijing and the way these trips were conducted, is a serious violation of both the written and unwritten rules of how an eu country should conduct foreign policy. consequently, it caused a great scandal and publicity within the european of the union certain political countermeasures have already been applied. is not going to come to budapest, which is a very strong diplomatic signal. however, when it comes to practical countermeasures, punitive measures of s

we hope that the recent meeting between president zelenskyi and prime minister viktor orban in kyiv willhange something. this meeting has been planned for years. orban was constantly invited by the president. zelensky during many years, and now the two leaders met in person. we hope that this will become a catalyst for the normalization of bilateral relations. recently, there have been certain gestures, both from the hungarian side and from the ukrainian side. when it comes to technical details about languages, education systems, educational rights, cultural rights and all these things. in the long term, i am optimistic, also because after... this meeting, the head of the transcarpathian region viktor mykyta announced that there is a plan to organize a ukrainian-hungarian business forum to discuss hungary's contribution to ukraine's recovery and hungarian investments. and when money is on the table, it usually has a dampening effect on the discussion. when we talk about the economy, when we talk about money, it's always a more rational thing than when we talk about more symbolic politica

have you heard anything recently, in recent weeks , about viktor orbán's peace line, as peter sijartoven't heard because... there is no viktor orbán peace plan, it was just trips without the permission of the european union leadership to show that he is someone actually, he's nobody, he's, well, i mean in the european union, he's just the leader of a european country. china urged all concerned parties to exercise restraint and avoid actions that are capable lead to an escalation of tension in ukraine. the corresponding statement was made at a briefing by an official representative of the ministry of foreign affairs of the northern region. according to him, the international community is concerned about the possibility of further escalation, and again he called it the word of the ukrainian crisis and believes that the main priority is to reduce tension, and at the same time, the chinese diplomat emphasized that to all interested parties, and he did not specify the truth here, did not specify exactly which parties the official beijing considers to be interested, one should remain calm,

today we will talk about hungary, about the prime minister of hungary viktor orbán and about the veryensitive topic of ukrainian-hungarian relations. if you don't mind, i'll start with that. consequently, ukraine blocked the transit of russian oil to slovakia and hungary. the governments of those countries even appealed to the european commission with a request to put pressure on ukraine to cancel this decision. how far do you think the hungarian government will go to convince ukraine to let it go? so this story does not mean that the flow of oil has stopped completely, also because ukraine needs oil transit, ukraine needs the transit fee that comes from the oil pipeline. if we talk about the reaction of hungary. then here it is necessary to start from the events that took place two years earlier. the european union at the end of may 22, a about 3 months after the full-scale invasion, imposed sanctions on oil imports from russia via pipelines. three eu countries asked for a postponement: the czech republic, slovakia and hungary. they claimed that they did not have the funds to immedia

so, the president of the european council, charles michel, called not only viktor orban's trip a politicalake. moscow, but also to beijing and washington. he also stated that the european union reacted to this with a yellow card. does brussels have the power to finally show victor orban red card. it is necessary to determine that...

today we will talk about hungary, about the prime minister of hungary viktor orbán and about the very topic of ukrainian-hungarian relations. if you don't mind, i'll start with that. consequently, ukraine blocked the transit of russian oil to slovakia and hungary. the governments of those countries even appealed to the european commission with a request to pressure ukraine to cancel this decision? how far do you think the hungarian government will go to convince ukraine to allow oil through this pipeline. thank you, this is a very sensitive issue. in fact, the details here matter a lot on…

said this would be the last question, but if you don't mind, i'll ask one more: how strong is viktor orbán'sposition in hungary, and how long is he going to remain prime minister of hungary. country at least until 2026, the next parliamentary elections are scheduled for 2026, if mr. orbán is healthy and continues to work as prime minister, there is no scenario in which he could lose his power before 2026. what will happen in 2026, well, the parliamentary elections are still a long way off. thank you very much, mr. raz, for... joining us today and thank you very much for your answers, i really appreciate it, this was andra schratz, a hungarian security analyst, an expert at the german council on foreign relations, and also a lecturer at corwin university spoke to him on serious issues, in particular about hungary, about its leader viktor orbán, as well as about such sensitive hungarian-ukrainian relations, so what next? the conversation was interesting, the answers were interesting, i think you will like it. well, that's it i will say goodbye to you, my name is yuriy fizar, see you soon, ther

, we haven't heard, because there is no peace-making plan of viktor orbán, it was just trips withoute leadership of the european union in order to show that he is somebody, in fact, he is nobody, he, well , is meant in the european union. just a leader of a european country. china called on all interested parties to exercise restraint and avoid actions that could lead to an escalation of tensions in ukraine. the official made the corresponding statement at the briefing representative of the ministry of foreign affairs of linqian. according to him, the international community is concerned about the possibility of further escalation, and again he called it the word of the ukrainian crisis and believes that the main priority is to reduce tension. and in this, the chinese diplomat emphasized that all interested parties, and here the truth is that he did not specify, did not specify exactly which parties the official beijing considers interested, should maintain calm, restraint and avoid actions capable of further escalating the situation, that is, not to give anything to ukraine, ukraine

meeting itself, initially supposed to take place in budapest, was moved to brussels to punish viktor orban for trips to moscow with peace initiatives that were not coordinated with the european commission. well, and those times. spent the night and came here, the neighbors also left together with you, yes, yes, in their native village the house and household remained, they packed quickly, they thought they would only stay here for a couple of days, so they didn’t take many things with them, they received the essentials... already in the indigenous desert. humanitarian aid is regularly brought to the monastery. the cargo comes from different parts of russia, from the caucasus to the far east. these are clothes, household appliances, medicines, personal hygiene products, and of course, food. kryanniks and what else, rusks. yana, a nurse, says that if she can’t return home in the near future, she will look for work in a new place, but for now tries not to sit idle. do we help with anything, if possible, do they feed us well? yes, everything is fine. the maleev family lives next door to the za

these are the forces that today it look at viktor orban, in hungary. and in russia. they are cute elections that are ceremonial. why would you let anyone other than vladimir putin and viktor orban decide anything? there are americans who feel we should technically have them, but there should not be doubt as to the outcome. and you know, even that fetish for foreign dictatorships is not that unusual in history. when there was the america first movement before world war ii that movement was lousy with elected politicians and u.s. congress taking money from and working for the top propaganda agent for the nazis . around mccarthy and the red scare, ultra season two, that was a supposedly anti-communist movement around joe mccarthy, but it was very creepy and entangled with this pro-russian pro-fascist said they headed together and we ought to be like them. it's not about fighting socialism or communism, marxist whatever, it's not about america first, not about a deep state that needs to be uprooted. it's about wanting our system of government to go away. it's about creat

why would you like anyone other than viktor orban and vladimir putin decide anything.r de right? there are americans who feel am like our elections should be the same thing, that technically we should have them, but there shouldn't be any doubt as to the outcome. and, you know, even that fetish for foreign dictatorships isn't that unusual in history. when there was the america firss movement before world war ii, that movement really was lousy with elected politicians in thed u.s. congress who were taking money from and working for the nazi's top propaganda agent in the united states. the subject of "ultra" season 2 it happens around mccarthy and the red scare. that was a supposedly anticommunist movement around joe mccarthy, but it really wass creepily entangled with this pro russia american fascist theorist who argued that it was really russia that had it together, and we ought to try to be more like them. it's not about fighting socialism or communism or marxist whatever, it's not about america first. it's not about some deep state that needs to be uprooted, it's about wanting

this is this is viktor orban. and so for somebody like viktor orban, you know he shares with putin a desire to push back against liberal ideas. and i just mean small l liberal. i the ideas of, you know, about an independent an independent judiciary, you know, because, because you know, he does very well without one. and he doesn't really want to hear from his partners in nato's or in the european union that he should have one. and so its interests are for him. that's that's in his interest the way it's in in in putin's there's there's a similar story to be told about erdogan as well. and, and hungary has orban has deliberately made himself a kind figure who can go either way. he has he's encouraged for large and very opaque russian and chinese into hungary. so there's a russian nuclear power plant project in hungary whose all of the documents about the plant and its financing are secret and you know is that being used to fund the ruling party? we don't really know don't really know how it how it functions. so so h

present it as another provocation, as they say, of the so -called zelenskyi junta, and of course, viktor orbanng-time friend, friend in quotation marks, because he is successfully playing along with vladimir putin, the european commission is already saying that , that something must be done about this orbán, because he allowed visas to be given to russians and belarusians and... to open visa corridors, and this creates certain problems for the entire european union, because with these visas , russian spies, killers can come to europe and arrange there are provocations that means the call of the european commission to consider the orban issue, conditionally speaking, at its meeting, and what will come of it, we will talk about it all with viktor shlenchak, so we will start at... 20:00, we only have one hour of broadcast today, we work from 20 to 21, in 12 minutes we will be on the air, vasyl zima's big broadcast continues, vasyl, you have the floor, thank you sergey, serhiy rodenka, we are waiting for you at 20, and i just wanted to say that the chairman of the defense committee of the german b

at a meeting of foreign ministers in brussels, a quote. but it was moved to brussels to punish viktor orban for trips to moscow that were not coordinated with the european commission, and with peace initiatives at that. meanwhile , local residents continue to be evacuated from border areas, and military rescuers and volunteers come to the aid of citizens. those who forced... to leave their homes, sent to temporary accommodation points across the country, where more than 11,500 people are already located. in the kursk region itself, a temporary accommodation point was organized, including on the territory of the monastery. they tried to make the accommodation as comfortable as possible for several dozen displaced persons. mikhail peretokin spoke with them. since the first days of the invasion of the ssu in the kursk region, the hotels at the korennaya pustyn monastery, along with other temporary accommodation points in the region, have been accepting residents of the borderland who were forced to leave. august 7, there were no relatives or friends with whom we could stay, they started shooti

and you all know viktor orban. he is the prime minister of hungary. at a very tough man, a good man but a tough man. and they asked him what do we need to stop all of the wars with israel? what do we need to stop the wars? russia and ukraine and all the other wars that are starting. he said when president trump was here, we had no wars. we didn't have russia lining up at the borders to go and attack ukraine. we would have never had hamas because hamas had no money because iran had no money. i said to china and everybody else, if you buy from iran, you can't do business in the united states. and i'm not looking to be bad to iran. we are going to be friendly, i hope, with iran -- maybe. but maybe not. but we're going to be friendly, i hope we are going to be friendly, but they can't have a nuclear weapon. they can't have a nuclear weapon. we were all set to make sure they don't have a nuclear weapon because once they do it's a whole different world. it's a whole different negotiation. but viktor orban said if you put trump in, nothing's going to happen

they talked to him about a serious issue, in particular about hungary, about its leader viktor orbán,as well as about such sensitive hungarian-ukrainian relations, well and what's next, the conversation was interesting, the answers were interesting. i think you will like it. well, that's how i'll say goodbye to you, my name is yuriy fizar. before meeting. there are discounts until independence day on eurofast softcaps of 10% in psyllanyk, bam and pharmacies savings there are discounts until independence day on tempalgin 10 tablets in the pharmacies of plantain bam and oskad. there are discounts up to 30% on dolgit cream gel until independence day in psyllanyk bam and oskad pharmacies. vasyl zima's big broadcast. my name is vasyl zima, this is a big broadcast on the espresso tv channel. two hours of airtime . two hours of your time. my colleagues and i will talk about the most important things. to learn about the war, about the military, frontline, component, serhiy zurets, and how the world lives? yuriy fizar is already with me, and it's time to talk about what happened outside ukrain

slovakia, where there is prime minister robert fico, with roughly the same political views as viktor orbán offended by the european union and wants some political ones for himself, well, he has some big political ambitions, but... in that, in this case, he is a little more cautious than orbán, at least in his statements, and somewhere really worth watching , that the government in slovakia, it is better to look at the actions they do than at the statements they make there, in order to be closer to orbán there, for example, and how will this confrontation between budapest and warsaw end? warsaw is now claiming the role of such a leader. in the european orbán's union is not satisfied with this situation, but it will not be a conflict directly between poland and hungary, it is a conflict at the level of the european union, because poland is part of it and supports these interests, and the body continues to walk on such a border, but in the end, under pressure he is forced to meet, first of all, it is some kind of economic pressure, because hungary is dependent on funding from the european uni

you know viktor orban, the prime minister of hungary. he is a good man but he is a tough man. i asked him what do we need to stop all of the wars with israel with russia, ukraine and all the other wars that are starting? he said when president trump was here, we had no wars, we did not have russia lining up to attack ukraine. we would have never had hamas because hamas had no money because iran had no money. i told china if you buy from iran, you cannot do business with the u.s. we will be friendly, i hope, with iran -- maybe, maybe not -- but they cannot have a nuclear weapon. we were all set to make sure they did not have a nuclear weapon because once they did, it is a whole different world. it is a whole different negotiation. viktor orban said if you put trump in, everyone will be peaceful because they were afraid of trump. now i do not like saying that i said that. i would say may they respected drum. -- trump. he said they were afraid of trump. they did not know where he was coming from and they were really afraid of him. they are not afraid of these people.

, he found _ world dislikes but viktor orban, he found strong policies that help unify— found strongc in the uk and the us. we said - goodbye to phoebe arslanagic little little, bringing us that information, stay with us on bbc news, bye for now. hello there. the weather was pretty disappointing today, but tomorrow, it's looking brighter. we should have a lot more sunshine around, and it will remain quite breezy, feel a little bit warmer because of more sunshine. there'lljust be a few showers dotted around, mainly in the north and the west. so these weather fronts have been crossing the country, bringing the cloud, the rain, lots of isobars on the charts indicating the strong winds. the rain will peter out overnight. we could see a few showers still affecting western areas. there could be some mist and murk across central and southern parts. it'll be a very warm and muggy night — 15—18 degrees, low teens further north. but as this weather front clears through, then it'll introduce some slightly fresher air. friday, we're in a run of westerly winds, fairly strong at times, and just on

. >> yeah, to go to the piece about it being international, in hungary, viktor orban encouraged mothersssolini argued the italian people have a duty to produce as many children as possible. he introduced pressures to increase reproduction. a loan canceled with each new child. a man with six children was made exempt from taxation. it allowed abortion, restricted women's access to birth control. you have republicans, conservatives in red states getting rid of no-fault divorce or trying to get rid of it. then they're tying it to this other piece, immigration. here is jd vance talking about abortion and tying it to cheap labor and immigration. >> when the big corporations come against you for passive abortion restrictions, which corporations are so desperate for cheap layer, they don't want people to parent children, she's right to say abortion restrictions are bad for business. we should be for abortion restrictions even if they are bad for business. >> and the idea being that if they can do mass deportation, they must tie it to forcing american women to bear more children so that they can

of a republican party where there is someone like trump who is befriending people like putin, viktor orbanround the world and hurting our alliances globally. so i think it's important for us to take a step back and say, hey, the only way actually to come and make a difference in the gop right now in this moment is to break apart from it and break apart from this horrible movement that has taken it over and make a difference for everyone and chart a different path forward. right now that path is supporting the democratic nominee, which is kamala harris. >> during the 2020 campaign, harris took a position seen as more liberal than president biden and she's pulled back. she's against the ban on fracking and against the new deal. but is that a pull-off from the dangerous san francisco label trump is trying to give her? >> i think the attacks will continue, but that's telling that that's all they've got. when they're mocking someone and are so disparaging and donald trump seems to have a knack for that and so does his inner circle. when your go-to is mocking her laughter and calling her a san f

you know, viktor orban from hungary, prime minister, he is known as a very tough leader, tough man. good man but a tough man, one of the toughest in europe. they asked him a little while ago, why is it the whole world is blowing up? he says because president trump isn't president in the united states. if he were president in the united states, none of this stuff would be happening right now, none of it and i believe that's true. that's true. for that to have happened is crazy. i will take immediate action to restore our depleted military. you know, we don't have any ammunition again. when i first came in they said, sir -- right? i see that guy. sounds like you were pretty much involved in trying to fill it up. i don't know that guy but i like him. i don't know who the hell that guy is. stand up. that's like central casting. right there. that's good. i like that guy. it's true though, true. we had no ammunition. i took over. sir, how we doing militarily? we have a problem, sir. what is it? we have no ammunition. that's a lousy thing. you know, you're running a country, we got enemies
