It’s been a week of blame games and accusations of betrayal in Ukraine with President Zelensky speaking of his personal hurt at President Trump’s decision to make a diesel deal with the Kremlin ahead of the US Mid term elections calling it “weak”, suggesting Trump had chosen, “the other side”.

President Zelensky continued to search for solidarity and a solution in Europe.

<description><![CDATA[ Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday called an early election for November 29, aiming to increase his parliamentary support after lawmakers last week rejected proposals to address a housing crisis that has drawn nationwide protests. Speaking with FRANCE 24&#039;s Mark Owen, Javier Carbonell, Policy Analyst at the European Policy Centre, explains that Sanchez has chosen &quot;the best moment in a sea of troubles&quot; to call snap elections as he is likely to capitalise on the mobilisation of left-wing voters during the housing protests. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Delano D&#039;Souza is pleased to welcome Carlos Mascarell Vilar, political scientist based in Spain. From his own perspective, Emmanuel Macron&#039;s visit to Spain needs to be understood by European power, political legacy, and geoeconomics. France and Spain are seeking to reinforce their bilateral relationship at a moment when the balance of power within Europe is changing rapidly, particularly with the growing importance of countries in the east such as Poland. For Macron, strengthening the Madrid-Paris axis is also part of a broader effort to advance European defence and strategic sovereignty. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Alarm bells are ringing about fuel prices across the EU. The average cost of diesel per litre is well above €2, whereas in October of last year it was around €1.50. Even before this latest spike, the cost of living was already biting, and it seems that the conflict in the Middle East is not going to give Europeans much respite as the winter draws closer. We review what EU member states have done to cushion the blow of rising energy prices for ordinary people, and whether those measures have been effective. ]]></description>

For McAllister, the EU is &quot;not at war with the Russian Federation, but we are no longer at peace with Russia&quot;. He also believes that the EU is not, as yet, capable of making sovereign decisions in certain areas of defence &quot;because we are too dependent on US capabilities.&quot; ]]></description>

Roman Badanin has just published a book, &quot;Le Tsar en personne&quot; or &quot;The Tsar in person&quot; which delves into exactly how Putin&#039;s mind works. Badanin says Putin acts like a gang member, and his attitude is that &quot;if you beat me, I will beat you even harder&quot;. The book is so far out in Russian and French, with an English version to follow. He spoke to us in Perspective. ]]></description>

Indeed, there are not likely to be any new members in the club before 2028 – some 15 years after Croatia entered. But 2026 undeniably has momentum, and is on track to be a record year in terms of opening and closing new chapters for existing applicants. That is why our guest, EU Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos, sees this as &quot;the year of the enlargement.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mark Owen is pleased to welcome Peter Zalmayev from Kyiv, Founder and Director of the Eurasia Democracy Initiative. According to Zalmayev, Russia’s ongoing attacks on Ukraine reflect a broader political logic in which military force, political objectives and territorial ambitions are intertwined as instruments of Russian strategy. He argues that Moscow’s attacks on civilian infrastructure are designed to exert extreme pressure on Ukrainian society while demonstrating fierce retaliation to domestic audiences in Russia. Zalmayev contrasts this with Ukraine’s strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, which he describes as targeting assets that directly sustain Moscow’s war effort. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ As the US, Denmark and Greenland itself sign an agreement on Greenland&#039;s security, we&#039;ve been asking what difference it will actually make. Our expert says the deal won&#039;t really give the US many more rights, but that US President Donald Trump wanted to prevent at all costs the tiny risk of Greenland turning towards China. He adds that for Trump voters, if you inflate the risk, people will talk about it and see you&#039;re acting. We spoke in Perspective to Mikaa Blugeon-Mered, Senior Researcher on Hydrogen and Arctic Affairs at the Canada Research Chair in Clean Hydrogen at the University of Québec Trois Rivières. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A viral NATO video is being falsely framed online as “war propaganda”, with users accusing the Alliance of sharing a “promotional video” designed to prepare the public for imminent war with Russia. But the footage is not new: NATO published it in July 2024 for its 75th anniversary, and it’s been stripped of its original context. The claim comes as European leaders warn of growing Russian hybrid threats, including alleged drone, cyber and sabotage activity. Vedika Bahl explains in Truth or Fake. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ &quot;European strategic autonomy&quot; is a buzz phrase in Brussels and in EU capitals these days. What does it mean for space policy? That was one of the central points that we raised with the Prime Minister of Luxembourg, Luc Frieden, during his visit to Paris for the International Space Summit hosted by the French government on September 9 and 10. Major American aerospace companies were noticeably absent from the summit while the feud between Brussels and the Trump administration continues. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Eve Irvine is pleased to welcome film producer Lahoucine Grimich. He challenges the prevailing narrative that cinema is an industry in existential crisis. While acknowledging that viewing habits have dramatically shifted since the pandemic, he argues that streaming platforms, public support and theatrical exhibition are not competing forces. As demonstrated in the French model, they form parts of an interconnected financing ecosystem in which cinema can adapt without ever abandoning the big screen. He frames filmmaking as a form of cultural sovereignty: societies need films not simply as entertainment, but to recognise themselves and to create what he calls “new imaginaries.” ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Mark Owen is pleased to welcome Barbara Slavin, Distinguished Fellow at the Simpson Center. She frames the war in the Persian Gulf as a mutually damaging stalemate in which neither Washington nor Tehran has found a politically sustainable exit: &quot;There are no winners in this war&quot;. Her central argument is that the conflict has created a problem of face-saving as much as military strategy. The US faces rising economic and electoral costs, while Iran confronts shortages, inflation, domestic dissent and intensified repression. Neither side, in her assessment, can plausibly claim success. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Exactly two months ago, Ukraine’s momentum was all the talk at a Nato summit in Turkey. What with its long-range drones and Donald Trump’s surprise announcement that the US would allow Kyiv to produce Patriot anti-ballistic missiles on home soil. That was then. This is now: Trump&#039;s deal&#039;s yet to materialize, Russia’s ramped up cruise missile launches and Ukraine’s run out of air defenses to stop them. Moscow&#039;s also failing to stop incoming missiles. What happens in war when for both sides, offense proves better than defense? ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Alison Sargent is pleased to welcome Political analyst Lorenzo Pregliasco, co-founder of polling agency YouTrend and adjunct professor at the University of Bologna. He argues that Giorgia Meloni’s unusual longevity in office is best understood not simply as a record of political strength, but as the product of a carefully calibrated governing strategy. Meloni has maintained stability partly by avoiding structural reforms disruptive enough to mobilize multiple constituencies against her at once. Her dominance within Fratelli d’Italia, the absence of a credible alternative leader, and a fragmented opposition have reinforced that advantage. ]]></description>

It marks a setback for Google&#039;s Waymo and Chinese giant Baidu, which have been eyeing Europe as a largely untapped market for autonomous vehicles. But for Wayve, it is its first mass-market rollout, and the company now plans to expand to Tokyo and 10 other cities with Uber. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Italy&#039;s first female Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, has surpassed a longevity record set by the late Silvio Berlusconi. When she took office in 2022, many European allies viewed her with unease, given her party&#039;s neo-fascist roots. Yet she has governed pragmatically, working within EU institutions and even supporting Ukraine. Domestically, however, she has targeted same-sex parents and clamped down on press freedom. ]]></description>

He argues that Ukraine’s expanding long-range strike campaign has helped Ukraine “stay in this game” by raising the economic, military and social costs of Russia’s invasion and, crucially, by bringing the consequences of a distant war increasingly into Russian life. As Ukraine braces for another brutal winter with dangerously depleted air defenses, Kiev seeks to protect its own cities, civilians, and infrastructure. ]]></description>

Three weeks after thousands of migrants crossed the border into Ceuta, Spanish websites and social media users are claiming that the migrants who have stayed are killing cats.

<description><![CDATA[ Eve Irvine is pleased to welcome Ronita Bardhan, Professor of Sustainable Built Environment and Health at the University of Cambridge. Extreme heat is no longer simply a question of climate exposure. It is a question of thermal safety, public health, energy security, urban design and inequality, explains Professor Bardhan. Her starting point is that, in an emergency, protecting human life must come first: people need immediate access to cooling, through shade, hydration, cooling centres, passive design or, where necessary, air conditioning. The challenge, she says, is not to choose between adaptation and mitigation, but to pursue both simultaneously. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Genie Godula is pleased to welcome Samantha de Bendern, Associate Fellow at Chatham House. Europe is taking increasingly consequential steps to support Ukraine, but de Bendern warns that they remain insufficient to address the country&#039;s fundamental vulnerability. Are Ukraine&#039;s allies prepared to actively help protect Ukrainian airspace? That debate reaches back to the earliest weeks of the full-scale invasion: even after President Biden warned in 2022 of an imminent Russian attack, Kyiv&#039;s allies ruled out enforcing a no-fly zone, fearing that direct NATO engagement could escalate into a wider war with Moscow. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Oliver Farry is pleased to welcome Dr. Volodymyr Yermolenko, Ukrainian philosopher, journalist, author and President of PEN Ukraine. According to Dr Yermolenko, Ukraine is confronting serious threats to its democracy. Suspending elections during wartime carries real dangers as political power is increasingly centralized around President Zelensky. Yet holding elections while cities remain under attack could unleash precisely the political turmoil Ukraine can least afford. The challenge is not simply whether Ukraine should choose democracy or wartime unity, but how it can preserve democratic accountability without allowing internal political conflict to weaken its resistance to Russia. ]]></description>

Ukrainian law prohibits elections while the country is under martial law, which was imposed on February 24, 2022, the day that the Russian invasion began. &quot;This is complex,&quot; said Fedorov, arguing that &quot;complexity does not mean impossibility. Ukraine has repeatedly done what the world considered impossible.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ European football&#039;s governing body (UEFA) on Thursday reaffirmed its boycott of the World Cup despite FIFA&#039;s apology a day earlier for &quot;errors&quot; over its now-abandoned plan to sell stakes in the tournament to private investors. The proposal, championed by FIFA president Gianni Infantino, has plunged world football&#039;s governing body into its biggest governance crisis in years and raised fresh questions about his future as president.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Sharon Gaffney is pleased to welcome Peter Zalmayev, director of the Eurasia Democracy Initiative. He rejects narratives that portray Moscow as only now &quot;taking the gloves off,&quot; against Ukraine, arguing instead that Russia has consistently pursued maximalist objectives while adapting its tactics to battlefield realities. Although Ukrainian innovation, particularly in drone warfare, has complicated Russia&#039;s military superiority, Zalmayev contends that technological ingenuity cannot permanently compensate for disparities in manpower, industrial capacity, and external military support. He argues that the conflict has entered an &quot;escalatory spiral of attrition.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ The Kherson Regional Military Administration released a video showing a drone flying in front of a man, before detonating and injuring him. The army says the incident occurred on August 4, 2026.
 
The war in Ukraine has become the first major conflict dominated by unmanned aerial vehicles. Kyiv has set itself the ambitious target of producing seven million drones by 2026, which is about 10,000 per day. Russia currently has the capacity to fire 350 to 500 long-range attack drones per day, according to Ukrainian estimates. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Delano D&#039;Souza is pleased to welcome Dr. Manlio Graziano, Founder and Director of Nicholas Spykman International Center for Geopolitical Analysis. Italy&#039;s temporary suspension of the Schengen Agreement with Spain, following the migration episode in Ceuta, is presented less as a meaningful European policy than as a symbolic act driven by domestic politics. Dr Graziano argues that the episode reveals how migration has become an instrument of political positioning rather than policy making. His analysis suggests that Giorgia Meloni&#039;s principal audience is not Brussels or Madrid, but Italy&#039;s increasingly fragmented right, where competition from parties positioned even further to her right is compelling her to continually reaffirm her hardline credentials. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ About 30 kilometres to the west of Naples lies one of the Roman Empire&#039;s most prestigious coastal thermal resorts.

<description><![CDATA[ Oliver Farry is pleased to welcome Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, Climate Scientist and Professor at the Universities of Louvain and Liège in Belgium. Europe&#039;s latest heatwave is further evidence of a structural transformation of the continent&#039;s climate, warns Professor van Ypersele. His central argument rejects both fatalism and complacency. While insisting that humanity has not yet reached &quot;the point of no return,&quot; he argues that the world has entered a period of exceptional urgency in which the costs of delaying climate action are escalating rapidly. He develops three interconnected themes: extreme heat, wildfires and public health crises as manifestations of a changing climate; he criticises the inadequacy of current political responses, suggesting that governments continue to underestimate the scale and immediacy of the challenge despite mounting scientific evidence; and he argues that adaptation and mitigation must proceed simultaneously: societies must become more resilient to unavoidable climate impacts while accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels to prevent even greater disruption. ]]></description>

<guid>https://eudaily.news/rethink-the-forest-amid-unprecedented-wildfires-return-to-ancestral-ways-of-managing-the-land</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Stuart Norval welcomes Jean-Luc Gleyze, President of the Departmental Council of the Gironde, and Stéphane Delpeyrat-Vincent, former firefighter and founder of WARUCENE, a research firm specialising in wildfire prevention. The Gironde wildfires expose the growing challenges of land management in a warming world. Offering complementary perspectives, Jean-Luc Gleyze, speaking from the front line of the emergency response, presents the fires as a test of social solidarity, institutional coordination, and public resilience. By contrast, Stéphane Delpeyrat-Vincent argues that increasingly destructive wildfires are not simply emergencies to be fought, but symptoms of a deeper structural failure: landscapes managed for a climate that no longer exists. Together, their analysis suggests that the challenge is no longer simply to improve firefighting capacity, but to rethink forests, communities, and urban planning in an era of accelerating climate change. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Eve Irvine is pleased to welcome Alexander Held, Senior Expert of the Resilience Programme for Integrated Fire Management. He reframes Europe&#039;s wildfire crisis by arguing that the flames themselves are not the central problem but rather ecological and governance failures. Held asserts that fires are not unforeseeable natural disasters, there have been decades of scientific warnings about the devastating effects of climate change. He ultimately presents the wildfire crisis not only as an opportunity to fundamentally rethink our relationship with forests and landscapes. ]]></description>

<title>Meloni&amp;apos;s Italy: Fortress Europe?</title>

<guid>https://eudaily.news/melonis-italy-fortress-europe</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Migration was at the heart of Giorgia Meloni&#039;s successful 2022 election campaign. Promising a tougher approach to irregular migration helped propel her to power, but what has her government achieved since then? One of its flagship policies was the creation of a controversial migrant processing centre in Albania. Yet the plan has repeatedly run into legal obstacles in Italy, raising questions about whether it can deliver on its promises. At the same time, Meloni has had to balance her hardline rhetoric with economic realities. Faced with labour shortages and pressure from businesses, her government has authorised around half a million additional work visas for the 2026–2029 period. Has Meloni&#039;s migration policy proved more pragmatic than her supporters expected? Whatever the answer, it has created political space on her right. One of the most prominent challengers is former army general Roberto Vannacci, who advocates an even tougher approach to immigration and openly calls for the &quot;remigration&quot; of migrants. Luke Brown reports. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ In this edition of Europe Rendezvous, we travel to Italy, one of the European Union&#039;s founding members, to examine how the country&#039;s democratic institutions have come under increasing pressure. It may be the season of la dolce vita, but life has been far from sweet for migrants, women seeking abortions in parts of Italy, and journalists facing growing political pressure on the media.

<description><![CDATA[ Nearly 1,000 years after chronicling the Norman conquest of England, the Bayeux Tapestry is making history once again.

Celebrated as one of Europe&#039;&#039;s greatest medieval treasures, its journey has reignited debates over heritage, diplomacy and the risks of moving delicate cultural artefacts. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A rising star among Democratic Party moderates, Virginia’s first woman governor Abigail Spanberger was elected the same night last November as Democratic Socialist New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani. In a wide-ranging interview with François Picard, Spanberger outlines a pragmatic vision of politics rooted in coalition building, institutional trust, and solving voters’ everyday concerns through practical governance rather than ideological confrontation. Asked whether Germany’s chancellor is right to worry about US election meddling in upcoming regional elections where the far-right AfD leads, Spanberger says: “As a proud American, the fact that the question is a relevant one, I find distressing.” She nonetheless insists that Russia, China, and Iran remain greater potential threats to European elections and asserts that the US must rise up and &quot;live and abide by our democratic values.&quot; ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ François Picard is pleased to welcome Daria Kaleniuk, Executive Director of the Anti-corruption Action Centre. Ukraine&#039;s wartime challenge is no longer only military, but institutional. Ms. Kaleniuk contends that battlefield success and democratic resilience are inseparable from deep reform of the defence establishment. While welcoming President Zelensky&#039;s replacement of the commander-in-chief with a younger, reform-oriented military leader, she argues that this represents only &quot;half&quot; of the necessary changes. The more consequential battle, in her view, concerns governance. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ In Ukraine, protesters say they’re giving Volodymyr Zelensky until Friday to re-instate the popular Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, and fire General Oleksandr Syrsky, the military chief of staff. The President removed Fedorov from his post last week, citing a clash between the two men. The protests have brought Syrsky’s unpopularity to the forefront. Through credited with stopping the Russian invaders at the gates of Kyiv in 2022, he’s since gained a reputation for brutality, and for wasting lives unnecessarily. He&#039;s also, as our correspondent Gulliver Cragg reports, accused of tolerance for corruption. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Dr Leon Moosavi, Sociologist of race and religion, and Reader in the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology at the University of Liverpool. Racism directed at the French national football team is often framed as a problem of sport, yet Dr. Moosavi argues that football merely provides a highly visible stage upon which much deeper political and social conflicts play out. Rather than viewing racist abuse against players such as Kylian Mbappé as isolated incidents or the actions of a few extremists, our guest describes these attacks within wider debates over national identity, immigration, belonging, and the normalization of extremist rhetoric and exclusionary political discourse across many Western democracies. ]]></description>
