Europe Say News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

Hello, im christian fraser. Youre watching the context on bbc news. Besieged by tourists, venice starts charging day trippers to visit. Is this the way forward for overwhelmed cities . In fact, we are going to start in europe. The french president , emmanuel macron, has painted a rather bleak picture of the European Union today. Despite the big strides he believes the eu made towards closer integration post covid and in response to the war in ukraine, it needs to be much more aggressive, he said, in defending its own interests. The wake up, he said, has been too slow and there is mortal danger, as he put it, if the union becomes a vassal of the United States and fails to stand up for itself on trade. Translation we must be lucid to the fact that our europe today is mortal. She can die. Echoing his past calls for europe to plot a third way between the us and china, the french president called for a scaling up stronger, more integrated European Defences, a more sustainable economic model
