Like every evening, the 11pm news report takes a look at the news broadcast by European television channels. It’s the Eurozapping of Thursday, June 27.
In Brussels, the new European summit confirmed Ursula Von der Leyen as head of the European Commission. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she was outraged at not having been consulted. This quarrel was quickly dismissed by the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz: “We must not argue in these difficult times.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was present at the summit and a new security agreement was signed.
In Great Britain, young hospital doctors are demonstrating for the eleventh time since March 2023 in order to win their case for a 35% pay rise. This strike will last five days until the day before the general elections. In Spain, drugs continue to wreak havoc. A submarine filled with cocaine has just been apprehended off the coast of Cadiz. Catalonia has seized four times more weapons of war than in recent years.
