00:00NATO countries are wary of deploying troops to Ukraine as part of a reassurance force
00:06without a US backstop.
00:08Defence ministers attended a meeting at NATO on Thursday, which, according to UK Defence
00:14Secretary John Healy, aimed to focus on how operational planning of the coalition could
00:20work.
00:21The gathering comes after a delegation of French and British military officials travelled
00:27to Kiev to discuss planning.
00:30French President Emmanuel Macron, who chaired a summit of leaders on the issue last month,
00:36said that not all of the 33 delegations at the summit had agreed to take part.
00:45The Romanian Navy has deployed forces in the Black Sea, with dozens of ships, patrol planes,
00:52helicopters and thousands of military personnel taking part in the largest naval exercise.
00:58The Black Sea is a vital border for NATO's eastern security flank.
01:03About 40 miles off the Romanian coast, the alarm suddenly sounds and an unknown target appears
01:09on radar.
01:10The entire crew goes on full alert.
01:12The entire crew goes on full alert.
01:16This is a naval helicopter, which, in this moment, is a mission of recovery, a mission of maritime
01:23recovery, a mission of recovery, a mission of recovery, a mission of recovery, a mission of
01:28maritime survival.
01:29We are looking for a real tragedy in the area of this service.
01:34With the enemy target in sight, the fleet is positioning for attack.
01:392,600 troops from 12 countries are taking part in the joint training.
02:04The mine, Count and Measures Black Sea Task Group set up last year, also takes part in assimilation.
02:34Special forces, combat divers and specialists in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense are involved in simulating various war scenarios.
03:00But it's not enough.
03:04The war was the military. The Russian Marine Corps has executed attacks against Ukraine, both with aircraft aircraft, with submarines and aviation.
03:16It's normal that we need modern technology, as well as we need very well prepared.
03:22We need modernization programs in accordance with the military measures that I remember earlier.
03:28The exercises designated to test NATO's response to possible hybrid maritime or air threats are carried out in complex scenarios with live firing and attack simulations.
03:42In a bit to justify the now-post tariffs on foodstuffs, Donald Trump recently claimed that agricultural goods from other parts of the world, such as the EU, are unsafe for American consumers and do not meet the US standards.
04:00These are the countries that are all for this calamity.
04:02The head of the EU food safety agency, EFCA, Bernard Url, refuted this characterization of European foods in an interview with Euronews.
04:11This cannot be food from the European Union.
04:13For sure not.
04:14The food in the European Union is safe. It's because of safe production methods. It's because of inspection, because of enforcement of the food legislation and also because of EFSA.
04:26If Mr. President would be speaking about food from the EU, it's wrong.
04:31In this 90-day truce on tariffs called by Trump on Wednesday, the European Commission now faced tough negotiations with the US to avert a trade war.
04:40One potential strategy could involve a promise to increase imports from the US to ease trade tensions.
04:46But according to Url, the EU will not lower its food safety standards to achieve that goal.
04:51I'm absolutely sure. Food safety standards are not negotiable. We have our European standards. They are the highest in the world and they will stay like that.
05:01There might be other trade issues to be dealt with. Yes, it's not my business. But on food safety, there will be no compromise.
05:08Europe's handling of recent outbreaks such as avian flu has demonstrated the effectiveness of EU food safety standards.
05:15In principle, we start from a less good point compared to the United States, but we have it under control.
05:24In the US, we have now different strains of avian flu. So also here, I would say, Europe is a good example.
05:32With the latest Paul's move, more and more experts believe that the tariffs are just a way to start bilateral negotiations.
05:38Although it is difficult to foresee the outcome of all this, the EU looks set to stick with its standards.
05:44A recent rape case in Lisbon has shocked the country.
05:51Three young influencers allegedly filmed themselves raping a 16-year-old girl and posted the video on social media.
05:59The images were viewed by 32,000 people and no one reported it.
06:04The three suspects, aged between 17 and 19, were arrested but later released by the court.
06:11Hundreds took to the streets, demanding tougher cautionary measures.
06:15Some very brandas for cases that are so graves.
06:18And in this case specific, in which they are influencers, have their platforms with many followers,
06:24I think it would have been, at least, just to be suspended as accounts,
06:29while there is a investigation, of course.
06:31The violations are becoming more systematic.
06:34And the law does nothing.
06:35It's just suspended.
06:36These men who have done it is serious.
06:41It's a crime.
06:42And women have to be at least protected.
06:44Political leaders who are at the rally argued that rape should be a public crime and that
06:50social media platforms should be held responsible for sharing this content.
06:55Ines Mourinho saw an intimate video of her widely released on Telegram and decided to create
07:02the movement Don't Share, which in 2021 became an association to support victims of image-based violence.
07:09I think that people, with these groups of intimate content,
07:15with all these people talking openly and violently against women,
07:21they are a bit banalized and normalized.
07:23And that people are desensitized.
07:25Young people's early exposure to the internet has increased access to pornographic and violent content.
07:33When they see images of pornographic, they are destroying what is the essence of sexuality.
07:38And, therefore, they are absorbing concepts or behaviors that are completely adequate to a normal life,
07:47with a companion, with a family.
07:49According to the latest annual report on internal security, in the analysis of juvenile crime,
08:02crimes of a sexual nature predominate, namely the sexual abuse of children committed by minor offenders.
08:09The Portuguese internal security system also highlighted the crime of child pornography
08:14on apps such as Discord or WhatsApp.
08:17According to the Centre for Crianças Desaparecidas and Exploradas,
08:21it is, globally, one in every eight children
08:25are victims of sexual violence, online or in real life,
08:30compared with one in every five children in Europe.
08:34The estimates are more conservative.
08:36They also say that almost 200 millions of content, images or videos
08:41exibing a child abuse sexually sexually
08:44circulated widely in the internet between 2021 and 2023.
08:49There are about three content shared online, every second, in the space of two years.
08:56Joana Morão Carvalho, for Euronews, Lisboa.
08:59Without them, no parish would function, and yet they still have no say or access to any leadership positions.
09:11Now for the first time, Catholic women are going on strike.
09:16That's the case of Mathilde, a lawyer based in Paris.
09:20The idea is really to manifest, in the time of the carême,
09:24during these 40 days of the carême,
09:26a real incomprehensible about the place of women in the church.
09:33For me, at the beginning, I decided not to go to the church at all.
09:38And then, I changed my opinion.
09:42I preferred to wear my badge and go to the church with my badge
09:46to try to train discussions,
09:49to make sure that we can talk about it with the people that it asks.
09:55Until April 17th, Catholic women across France and beyond are protesting to demand equality
10:03and greater influence within the church.
10:06The movement is led in France by the Comité de la Jupe, the Skirt Committee,
10:10which says women do 80% of the essential work in parishes.
10:16The strike is also meant to force bishops to listen.
10:41So far, there's been little to no official dialogue.
10:45But some inside the church are starting to speak up.
10:49Souvent, when I talk about these things, it's complicated.
10:52It's complicated because there's no habit
10:54and there's fear of losing power.
10:57And it's complicated because the views are very shared.
11:00Like in society, the priests are, in general,
11:04desire for women to work together.
11:06After, there's sometimes fear of losing power.
11:11The movement is gaining traction worldwide,
11:14with strikes reported in the US, India, Poland and Spain.
11:19In France alone, the Skirt Committee says its membership has grown to over 300 members.
11:25As Catholic women are raising their voices.
11:28This time, they're not just asking to be heard.
11:31They're demanding real change.
11:33Now it's corpish.
11:34Now it's kind of aermanic research.
11:36A public resource seems to be reached.
11:37The
