00:00European markets are a historic rally after U.S. President Donald Trump
00:05paused tariffs for nations that did not retaliate, excluding China.
00:10The European Union has paused its retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.
00:15to give negotiations a chance with the Trump administration.
00:20Russia launched 145 drones on Ukraine in overnight attacks,
00:26injuring at least 10 people in Mykolaiv.
00:30European markets staged a historic rally in early morning trading on Thursday,
00:35tracking Wall Street's euphoric surge after U.S. President Donald Trump
00:39unexpectedly announced a 90-day pause on tariffs.
00:44The Eurostoxx 50, which tracks blue-chip companies across the Eurozone,
00:48jumped up to nearly 5,000 points on pace for its strongest session since March 2020.
00:54National indices across the continent saw similarly powerful gains,
00:58with Germany, Europe's biggest economy, seeing its DAX rallying to 8.5%.
01:04Asian markets also soared, with Japan's benchmark jumping more than 9%.
01:09Trump on Wednesday said the 90-day pause in the tariffs was for countries that have not retaliated
01:15against Washington's trade measures, excluding China.
01:19Euro-U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports were instead raised to 125% in response to Beijing's recent retaliatory tariffs.
01:28Analysts have warned that Trump's tariffs could disrupt global trade and the economy,
01:33something that could likely trigger a recession at home in the U.S.
01:37The European Union has temporarily paused its counter-tariffs against the United States
01:45to further pursue talks with Donald Trump's administration
01:49on how to resolve what was shaping up to be an all-out trade war.
01:54According to the President of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen,
01:57the suspension will remain in place for at least 90 days.
02:01The counter-tariffs, imposed in reaction to Trump's duties on steel and aluminium,
02:06were approved on Wednesday by member states, targeting almost 21 billion euros in American products.
02:12The first raft, worth 3.9 billion euros, was scheduled to go into effect on the 15th of April before the change.
02:19The EU bloc had initially been hit by a 20% rate under Trump's sweeping tariffs,
02:25shocking Brussels and other capitals.
02:27The EU Commission, which has exclusive competence to determine the commercial policy
02:32for the 27-member bloc, has been trying to figure out how to respond to Washington's trade tariffs.
02:42Russia launched 145 Shahid and decoy drones on Ukraine in overnight attacks,
02:48according to Ukraine's Air Force.
02:50In the southern city of Mykolaiv, at least 10 people were injured
02:55and apartments and belongings were damaged following Russian strikes.
02:59The regions targeted include Donetsk, Kharkiv and Kyiv.
03:04Meanwhile, the head of the Opishnia community, Mykola Riznik,
03:08situated in the Poltava region, said that they came under shelling,
03:12injuring one person and causing damage to the town.
03:16Ukraine said it had shot down 85 drones, while 49 went off radar.
03:21According to the Institute for the Study of War,
03:25Ukrainian General Alexander Sirsky confirmed the intensity,
03:30confirmed intensified Russian attacks across all main fronts,
03:34including new offensives in the eastern Sunni and Kharkiv regions.
03:41EU and Ukrainian leaders are meeting in Brussels for a two-day business summit.
03:46The focus is on deepening economic ties
03:48and speeding up Ukraine's recovery and path towards EU membership.
03:52Ukraine's Prime Minister, Denis Shimehal, urged European businesses to invest now,
03:56calling for Kyiv's integration into the bloc to be fast-tracked.
04:01We are not a buffer zone.
04:03We are not a gray area.
04:04We are Europe's new opportunity to rediscover its identity.
04:08We are ready to become a new contributor
04:10and exporter of security, energy, critical resources and digital innovations.
04:16Accelerating Ukraine's EU accession is not just a gesture of solidarity.
04:21It is an investment in Europe's strengths.
04:24We call on European leaders to fast-track Ukraine's integration
04:27and shorten our path to full membership.
04:30Poland's European affairs minister declared it a historic opportunity,
04:34arguing the EU's focus must shift from Russia first to Ukraine now.
04:39Italy also voiced strong support for Ukraine's full membership,
04:42while also stressing the need for continued reforms.
04:46Euronews asked the European commissioner for enlargement
04:49if the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is right
04:52when he claims Ukraine's membership would completely destroy the European market,
04:56dry out cohesion funds and harm Hungary.
04:58He's not right.
05:01Because we will have Ukraine as one of the members of the EU in the future.
05:08We are working on this 26 EU member states support this vision.
05:18We could end all the screening processes in this year,
05:23so we will be ready when the Council will be able to bring the conclusion
05:29to open all the clusters.
05:33I am sure that this will be able in this year.
05:38But of course, we have to work also with Hungary.
05:41Kiev believes that as Europe is searching for a new point of equilibrium
05:45on geopolitical security, economics and values,
05:48the result of the war for Ukraine will be crucial for the continent's future.
05:52Iceland is warming to the idea of EU membership amidst the geopolitical tensions of late.
06:01A recent poll showing 45% support membership,
06:05as Iceland's Prime Minister Fróste de Týr discusses the issue of an EU referendum
06:11slated for 2027 in an interview with Euronews.
06:15Her biggest concern is that the debate remains polarized
06:19as she seeks to have a balanced discussion about EU membership.
06:23The EU isn't a defense alliance in and of itself, even though it's building itself up.
06:31We should join the EU as part of a broader picture.
06:34I don't want to drive our EU accession talks based on fear.
06:38I don't want it based on this is the only possibility we have.
06:41This is the only way forward for Iceland.
06:44This is the only way to progress.
06:46I think that's going to lead to a polarizing debate.
06:48Iceland has important bilateral relations with the United States,
06:53but the Prime Minister remains firmly behind Europe,
06:56believing a stronger Europe means a stronger ally for the U.S.
07:02It's very important for us that any security engagement,
07:06any sort of change in that relationship doesn't mean that it's excluding the U.S.,
07:11but that it's maybe changing the relationship between the two,
07:14because Iceland really thrives on that transatlantic unity being in place.
07:20In light of the 10% tariffs announced by Trump last week,
07:24Iceland has decided not to impose counter tariffs on the U.S.,
07:28choosing to negotiate rather than escalate.
07:33We are not going to respond with our own tariffs.
07:37I mean, we believe in free trade.
07:39We're a small economy.
07:40Our strength in that sense is more how we negotiate our ways through those tariffs,
07:47but also how we engage with other countries.
07:50So we won't be engaging in counter tariffs.
07:55Watch the full interview on the Europe Conversation this weekend.
07:58Without them, no parish would function.
08:06And yet, they still have no say or access to any leadership positions.
08:12Now, for the first time, Catholic women are going on strike.
08:16That's the case of Mathilde, a lawyer based in Paris.
08:20The idea is really to manifest in this time of the carême,
08:24during these 40 days of the carême,
08:27to manifest an incomprehension real
08:29regarding the place of women in the church.
08:34At the beginning, I decided not to not go to the church at all.
08:38And then, I have a little changed of view.
08:42I prefer to wear my badge and go to the church
08:45and wear my badge to try to train in discussions,
08:49to make sure that we can talk about it with the people that it asks.
08:56Until April 17th, Catholic women across France and beyond
09:00are protesting to demand equality
09:03and greater influence within the church.
09:06The movement is led in France by the Comité de la Jupe,
09:09the Skirt Committee, which says
09:11women do 80% of the essential work in parishes.
09:17A côté de cette gouvernance strictement masculine,
09:20vous avez une réalité de terrain
09:21où les femmes, en fait, sont partout.
09:23Les églises sont remplies de femmes,
09:24que ce soit les paroissiennes, les bénévoles,
09:27dans les paroisses, dans les associations,
09:30dans le social, dans le care.
09:31Elles sont partout, mais elles ont ce plafond de ver
09:34qui font qu'elles ne peuvent pas accéder
09:36à certaines responsabilités.
09:37The strike is also meant to force bishops to listen.
09:42So far, there's been little to no official dialogue.
09:46But some inside the church are starting to speak up.
09:49Souvent, quand je me discus de ces choses-là,
09:51c'est compliqué.
09:52C'est compliqué parce qu'il n'y a pas l'habitude
09:54et qu'il y a la peur de perdre du pouvoir.
09:57Et c'est compliqué parce que les avis sont très partagés.
10:00Comme dans la société,
10:02les prêtres sont en général désireux
10:05comme les femmes puissent travailler ensemble.
10:07Après, il y a quelquefois la peur
10:09par rapport à ce qui ressemble à du pouvoir.
10:11The movement is gaining traction worldwide,
10:14with strikes reported in the U.S., India, Poland and Spain.
10:19In France alone, the skirt committee says its membership
10:22has grown to over 300 members.
10:25As Catholic women are raising their voices,
10:28this time, they're not just asking to be heard.
10:31They're demanding real change.
10:33The deck toll after a roof collapsed
10:38at an iconic nightclub in Santo Domingo,
10:41the capital of the Dominican Republic,
10:43surged to 184 late Wednesday.
10:47Early on Wednesday, officials read out
10:49the names of 54 victims they had identified so far,
10:53including merengue icon Ruby Perez,
10:56who had been singing to the crowd
10:57before the tragedy struck.
10:59Other victims included
11:01two baseball players
11:03and a governor of the northwestern region.
11:06A group from the town of Haina
11:07carried candles and sang religious hymns
11:10in a small memorial
11:11for the 25 victims from their hometown.
11:15Meanwhile, the government announced
11:16Wednesday evening
11:17it was moving to a recovery phase
11:19focused on finding buddies
11:21after 145 people were rescued
11:24from the wreckage of the nightclub.
11:26The legendary club
11:27was packed with musicians,
11:29professional athletes
11:30and government officials
11:31when dust began falling
11:32from the ceiling
11:33and into people's drinks
11:35early Tuesday.
11:36It wasn't immediately clear
11:38what caused the roof to collapse.
