00:00French President Emmanuel Macron has said he will confer with European allies on the
00:05idea of using the country's nuclear deterrent to protect the continent in the face of threats
00:10from Russia.
00:11Macron, in a televised address to The Nation on Wednesday, described Russia as a threat
00:16to France and Europe.
00:18France is the only nuclear power in the European Union.
00:21Our nuclear dissuasion protects us, it is complete, sovereign, French from end to end.
00:29Macron's speech comes as EU leaders prepare for the next EU summit in Brussels.
00:36France is the only nuclear power in the European Union.
00:41Our nuclear dissuasion protects us, it is complete, sovereign, French from end to end.
00:49France is the only nuclear power in the European Union.
00:56Macron's speech comes as EU leaders prepare for the next EU summit in Brussels.
01:03Late on Wednesday, Macron welcomed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban for a meeting.
01:11Brussels is launching an action plan to help the European automotive sector.
01:16According to the European Commission, the industry is at a critical turning point.
01:21The Commission wants to ensure that the batteries used by car manufacturers are made in Europe.
01:26They will make available 1.8 billion euros to strengthen the supply chain of raw materials for batteries.
01:34This will be in addition to the 3 billion euros that Brussels has already announced will be invested in batteries.
01:43Europe needs its own supply. That means producing them ourselves.
01:51And alongside finance, we are considering European content requirements for batteries and components that are sold here.
02:00The Clean Industrial Deal, presented by the Commission last week, also announced a new critical raw materials centre.
02:08So from 2026, it will offer automotive players access to lower cost materials.
02:16The European Commission also aims to decarbonise the corporate car fleet, which accounts for 60% of new car registrations.
02:24They will present a legislative proposal this year.
02:28This is in addition to the plan announced on Monday by Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission's president,
02:34to give carmakers three more years to adapt to the CO2 emission standards for new cars.
02:44European Union countries agreed on Wednesday to bring into force the entry-exit system,
02:50the bloc's automated registry for short-stay travellers.
02:55Delayed for years over technical problems and lack of preparedness,
03:00interior ministers reached an agreement in Brussels for a likely start of operations in autumn.
03:07The entry-exit system's main purpose is to modernise checks at the EU's external borders and replace the stamping of passports.
03:16It will apply to non-EU citizens who come to the bloc for visits, holidays or business trips.
03:23The collection and sharing of information in real time is meant to help authorities crack down on those
03:29who overstay their short-term visas and commit identity fraud.
03:34Cyprus and Ireland will not partake in the scheme.

06:00These women are getting together every weekend in an open-air museum.
06:06The museum is open to the public.

06:16It is their loss.
06:20All of them lost their loved men in Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

07:36Svetlana lost her husband in early days of the invasion of Ukraine.
07:42They allowed to take the children, but there were beatings,
07:49but they didn't see anything.
07:55No, reconciliation for any price is impossible, because the price is already set.
08:00The price is the lives of our men, the lives of our sons.
08:04I always say that it was not us who came to them.
08:07They came to our home and started to kill us.
08:11Vita Kharchuk is drawing her son, the defender of Mariupol,
08:16and she says all that's left is his dreams.
08:20I had a dream to have three children.
08:24But unfortunately, it turned out to be a dream.
08:28I didn't become a father.
08:31I still see them in this picture.
08:34Three young, beautiful boys,
08:37full of passion for life, love for their homeland,
08:41love for their relatives, full of dreams.
08:45These women have paid the highest price,
08:48and their loss cannot be forgotten now for a ceasefire at any price, they say.

09:19and had part of one lung removed as a young man,

09:52near the country's volcanic island of Santorini, caused panic.

09:59with the situation gradually declining,
10:01residents and visitors who fled when the seismic activity began
10:05are now returning ahead of this year's tourist season.
10:09Greek tourism minister told Euronews
10:12that Santorini will welcome visitors again this year,
10:16taking some specific safety-related measures.
10:19The island is one of Greece's most popular tourist destinations.
10:24From the very first minute we said that the foremost priority
10:28is the safety of both residents and visitors.
10:32So we are opening up Santorini,
10:35and of course we are looking forward to a season
10:39which will operate as normal as possible,
10:41of course taking all precautionary measures,
10:44because as I said before, safety matters to us more than anything else.
10:49Greece has dealt with crises in the past,
10:52so we are used to dealing with extraordinary situations,
10:58but what is most important is that we want to make sure
11:03that our residents and our visitors in Santorini will feel safe
11:09and that they will enjoy their time on the island.
11:13The minister said the outlook for this year's tourism market
11:16remained optimistic and positive.
11:19Of course we are expecting people to come to Greece for this season,
11:25not just for Santorini but for all the other beautiful places
11:29that Greece has to offer.
