MEPs call for an urgent ceasefire in Lebanon and for the UN mission in the country to be protected, after several recent attacks. The European Union has expressed its grave concern about the recent escalation along the Blue Line separating Israel and Lebanon, particularly regarding attacks by the Israeli Defence Forces against the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), which left several peacekeepers wounded. Israeli authorities accuse Hezbollah of using UN peacekeepers as “human shields” and consider that the UN’s refusal to evacuate UNIFIL soldiers has turned them into “hostages of Hezbollah”. UNIFIL was established in 1978 after the Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon to monitor the situation there.

The Parliament discusses the EU plan to lend Ukraine up to €35 billion to support the country in its defence against Russia. The loan is part of a G7 financial assistance package to be repaid through frozen Russian Central bank assets.

Opening statements by Karin KARLSBRO (Renew, SE), Rapporteur, Janusz LEWANDOWSKI (EPP, PL) Vice Chair of the Committee on Budget of the European Parliament, and Didier REYNDERS, European Commissioner for Justice, ahead of the vote of the European Parliament on the EU’s €35 billion contribution to the G7 plan to provide Ukraine with up to €45 billion of financial assistance. Parliament debates and votes on the new Macro-Financial Assistance (MFA) loan, which seeks to support Ukraine with up to €35 billion in the face of Russia’s brutal war of aggression. The MFA loan is the EU’s contribution to the G7 initiative, agreed last June, to provide Ukraine with up to $50 billion (approximately €45 billion). The extraordinary revenues generated from immobilised Russian Central Bank assets, facilitated by the newly established Ukraine Loan Cooperation Mechanism, will ensure this exceptional MFA loan is repaid, as well as loans from other G7 countries.

Sa minn meta r-Russja nediet l-invażjoni totali tagħha tal-Ukrajna fl-2022, l-Unjoni Ewropea baqgħet tappoġġja l-poplu Ukren, tilqa’ r-refuġjati, u tipprovdi tagħmir għad-difiża u għajnuna finanzjarja. Il-gwerra kellha effetti devastanti fuq is-soċjetà Ukrena u għal ħafna miż-żgħażagħ Ukreni, din fixklet b’mod sever l-edukazzjoni tagħhom. 

Bl-appoġġ tal-finanzjament tal-UE, Kamil, professur tal-IT fiċ-Ċekja, qed jistabbilixxi l-pjattaforma tal-Università Diġitali biex l-istudenti Ukreni jkunu jistgħu jkompli jitgħallmu online.

This video shows a portrait of Gubad IBADOGHLU, Azerbaijan, finalist for the Sakharov Prize 2024. The footage shows a campaign for his realease projected on public buildings in Bonn, Germany, by NGO Global Witness, a plea made by his daughter to the Subcommittee on Human Rights of the European Parliament and general views of Baku, Azerbaijan. Azerbaijani academic and anti-corruption activist Gubad Ibadoghlu was arrested in 2023 after criticising the country’s oil and gas industry and creating a charity to return stolen public resources. Under house arrest, he faces up to 17 years in prison. He needs urgent heart surgery abroad. His detention was the start of an ongoing crackdown on academics and civil society before the COP29 forum, which Baku will host in November. In its April 2024 resolution, Parliament called for charges against him to be dropped and his travel ban lifted. Ibadoghlu is a salient example of Azerbaijan’s harsh treatment of critics.

They demand an end to the cycle of bloodshed and to promote “The Mothers’ Call”, formulated by both movements calling on peoples of both nations – Palestinian and Israeli, and peoples of the region to join their call for the resolution of the conflict. Since 7 October 2023 attacks, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has intensified, yet voices for peace persist. Dr. Yael Admi and Reem Hajajra lead the two movements dedicated to this mission. In March 2022, WWP and WOS launched a historic partnership to end the conflict.

This infoclip highlights various aspects of the aviation industry, including airport scenes, passengers in transit, planes taking off and landing, workers refueling with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and exterior shots of Eurocontrol offices. It also features air traffic control operations and testing of more efficient and environmentally friendly engines. The key focus of the clip ties into the objectives of the Single European Sky (SES) initiative, which aims to reduce fragmentation in EU airspace and enhance air traffic management. The SES seeks to improve safety, boost capacity, reduce costs, and minimize CO₂ emissions. As part of this, the European Union is advancing a legislative package consisting of an amended proposal for the recast of the Single European Sky regulation (SES 2+) and a proposal to amend the EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulation.

This infoclip illustrates the automotive industry from different angles, such as manufacturing, car dealers, electric vehicles charging, and a car repair garage. The clip also shows the external view of the Audi factory in Brussels. In spring 2024, the German manufacturer announced the restructuring of its Brussels plant, provoking protest among employees and trade unions. The European automotive sector is experiencing a crisis sparked by the transition to low carbon technologies, the degradation of supply chains, increased competition from Asia, and decreased demand for electric models.
