Alternative for Germany aspires to grab power despite far-right firewall, MEP says
Is the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) poised to rule the country?The party has its sights set on it, despite a political firewall cordoning it off from power, lawmaker belonging to the party René Aust has told Euronews reporter Vincenzo Genovese in an interview.This is despite all mainstream parties in Germany ruling out any cooperation with AfD after Sunday’s ballot, meaning its prospects of entering a governing coalition are non-existent.Trump’s billionaire aide Elon Musk has also outspokenly voiced support for AfD and its leader Alice Weidel. His attempts to wade into German politics have outraged mainstream parties.Radio Schuman also discusses today’s gathering of G20 foreign ministers in Johannesburg, South Africa, where the EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas will be in the company of Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov.We also have a look at where young Europeans get their news.Today's Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Mared Gwyn Jones, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by Johan Breton.

Is Europe cutting back on humanitarian aid to appease the far right ?
Major donor European countries like France, Germany, Sweden, and Finland are drastically cutting their foreign aid budgets, following the global trend led by US president Donald Trump to cut USAID, a humanitarian officer with Caritas Europe tells Radio Schuman today.In Sweden and Finland, coalition governments involving the centre and far-right are redirecting funds toward deporting irregular migrants. Additionally, the EU’s “Global Gateway” program is shifting its focus toward investments that primarily benefit the bloc rather than addressing global development needs, according to Caritas' Abriel Schieffelers.Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by David Brodheim.

What are the EU's multiple plans to finance its defence boost ?
How will NATO allies increase defence spending beyond 2%?Today Radio Schuman dives into European defence together with Euronews reporter Paula Soler.European NATO and EU countries agree on increasing defence spending beyond 2% of GDP but disagree on how to achieve it. Some advocate joint borrowing for large defence projects, while others believe planning should remain in the hands of individual nations.At the Munich Security Conference, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed exempting defence spending from EU fiscal limits. EU finance ministers are debating this alongside other options, such as joint bonds, repurposing post-pandemic funds, boosting European Investment Bank lending and creating a re-armament bank.Radio Schuman also discusses today's meeting in Saudi Arabia between Russia and the US, and spotlights the expansion of so-called 'micro-forests' in cities.Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by David Brodheim.

However, in the two years following Russia’s invasion, he emerged as a key figure in Ukraine’s government, actively mobilising international support.He spoke to Euronews’ Johanna Urbancik in Berlin, and criticised Donald Trump for failing to support Ukraine, urged Europe to take stronger action, and argued that deploying peacekeeping troops would be challenging given Trump’s opposition to Ukraine’s NATO membership.Radio Schuman also brings you to key meetings in Brussels and asks how electricity prices compare across Europe.Radio Schuman is hosted and produced by Maïa de la Baume, with journalist and production assistant Eleonora Vasques, audio editing by David Brodheim.
