The German chancellor Friedrich Merz is in Brussels today for a last minute attempt to convince the Belgian government to come on board with a reparations loan for Ukraine. This, as US envoys hold talks with Ukrainian negotiators for the third time in two weeks, today in Florida. For more on what we need to know, we will be joined in the studio by Euronews Ukraine correspondent Sasha Vakulina.
Coming up, we will be joined by Dan Jørgensen – a Danish politician from the Social Democrats who has held several major national and European roles. Since 2024, he has been the EU Commissioner for Energy and Housing, focusing on trying to wean the EU off its addition to Russian gas.
Dan Jørgensen is also in charge of housing, it is the first time Brussels appoints a commissioner in charge of this. And with the picture across Europe absolutely dire, it is a huge responsibility. Jakob Janas reports.
And moving on to another story that is turning our heads here at Euronews, the unrest in Bulgaria. After days of protests across the country, the government has put its controversial 2026 budget plan on hold. To hear what exactly is going on and what it means for the stability of the country that will join the Eurozone in January, we can cross over to Sofia and speak to Raya Stoyanova, Euronews Bulgaria correspondent who will be live from outside the Bulgarian parliament for us.
