from Europe Today

On Friday’s episode of Europe Today, we bring you an exclusive interview with European Commission Vice-President Teresa Ribera from a gathering of global left-wing leaders in Barcelona. She tells Maria Tadeo that Viktor Orbán’s defeat in the Hungarian election shows the limits of the “anti-EU narrative” pushed by the far right. Our correspondent Shona Murray reports that a French- and British-led gathering of 40 allies focused on securing the Strait of Hormuz could lead to a broad outline of a plan to reopen the waterway once hostilities end. We also speak to the UN’s development chief, Alexander De Croo, who warns of the far-reaching repercussions of the Iran war across the globe.Europe Today is Euronews’ daily podcast hosted by Maria Tadeo and Méabh Mc Mahon, broadcasting directly from Brussels, at the heart of Europe.   Every morning, we deliver the top and exclusive stories shaping the European Union (EU) and beyond.Stay ahead with the key news and insights that matter in Europe today.
