    Szent a béke Brüsszel és Budapest között? – A Ring vitaműsor Budapestről jelentkezik

    Az Euronews heti vitaműsora, a Ring Budapestre látogatott, hogy megvizsgálja, miként próbálja Magyar Péter miniszterelnök újraépíteni az ország kapcsolatait az Európai Unióval az Orbán-kormány alatti feszültségek után. Az áprilisi parlamenti választáson elsöprő győzelmet arató Magyar Péter szívélyes fogadtatásban részesült Brüsszelben. Májusban megállapodott Ursula von der Leyen európai bizottsági elnökkel arról, hogy felszabadítják azt a 16,4 milliárd eurót, amelyet jogállamisági és korrupciós aggályok miatt korábban zároltak. Magyarország ezután jóváhagyta az Ukrajnával folytatandó uniós csatlakozási tárgyalások klasztereinek megnyitását. Néhány kérdés azonban továbbra is megoldatlan, köztük a migráció és a szexuális kisebbségek jogai. Beváltotta-e Magyar Péter az ígéretét, hogy visszavezeti Magyarországot az EU szívébe? A The Ring budapesti kiadásában Navracsics Tibor, az Orbán-kormány volt minisztere és volt uniós biztos, valamint Szent-Iványi István külpolitikai szakértő és volt nagykövet vitatja meg a kérdést. A műsor házigazdája Zsíros Sándor, producere Kert Attila, vágója és rendezője Vassilis Glynos volt. The Ring is Euronews’ weekly political showdown, where Europe’s toughest debates meet their boldest voices. In each episode, two political heavyweights from across the EU face off to propose a diversity of opinions and spark conversations around the most important issues of EU affairs and the wider European political life.

    Szczerba vs Kobosko – Poland’s economic rise - Can it last?

    Poland has transformed itself over the past three decades. The next challenge is whether it can sustain that momentum. Poland is trying to keep growth strong while managing a large budget deficit, soaring defence spending and the pressure to modernise its economy. Can it reconcile greater spending on defence with sound public finances — while raising productivity and living standards enough to continue closing the gap with Western Europe? These are the core questions of this special edition of The Ring, broadcast from Warsaw, featuring two Members of the European Parliament: Michał Szczerba, from the centre-right European People's Party, and Michał Kobosko, from the liberal Renew Europe group. Listen to this special edition of The Ring, brought to you from Warsaw. The Ring is Euronews’ weekly political showdown, where Europe’s toughest debates meet their boldest voices. In each episode, two political heavyweights from across the EU face off to propose a diversity of opinions and spark conversations around the most important issues of EU affairs and the wider European political life.

    Cremer vs Beke – Can Europe afford its defence boost?

    As security and hybrid threats are on the rise across Europe and the war in Ukraine enters its fifth year, European defence budgets are under the microscope. The debate in The Ring goes straight to the heart of the controversy: is the 5% of GDP target a necessary goal or a misleading obsession? And who ultimately pays the bill for rearmament? In this special live edition from the Euronews Defence & Space Summit, Méabh Mc Mahon is joined by a live audience and leading European lawmakers — Belgian centre-right EPP member Wouter Beke and German social democrat Tobias Cremer. Listen to this special edition of The Ring, brought to you from the Albert Hall in Brussels.

    Doherty vs Gonçalves – Can cities cope with Europe's tourism boom?

    Andersson vs Mandl – Debating Ursula von der Leyen's speech on The Ring

From Ukraine and European defence to the economy, migration and the EU’s response to a rapidly changing world, the speech came at a crucial moment for the Union. What does Europe really need?

    Sippel vs Zdechovský – Ceuta migration crisis tests European solidarity

    Did European solidarity fail after the Ceuta crisis? Is Europe really united on migration? From Morocco’s role and Spain’s response to whether EU member states are doing enough to help out when one member state comes under pressure, the debate raises more questions than answers. The same week that Ceuta’s president, Juan Jesús Vivas, travelled to Brussels in a cry for help, we are joined by Czech centre-right MEP Tomáš Svetechovský and German Socialist MEP Birgit Sippel. Both EU lawmakers clash on how Europe should respond to the migration crisis and whether EU member states should take in and relocate migrants arriving in Spain.  Can Europe come together in a crisis like this? And has the EU migration pact unravelled just as it started being enforced?  Listen to this edition of The Ring, brought to you from the European Parliament studios in Brussels.  The Ring is Euronews’ weekly political showdown, where Europe’s toughest debates meet their boldest voices. In each episode, two political heavyweights from across the EU face off to propose a diversity of opinions and spark conversations around the most important issues of EU affairs and the wider European political life.

    Bentele vs Germain – The surge of the far-right - who is to blame?

    All eyes are on the election in the small East German state of Saxony-Anhalt. A potential absolute majority for the far-right there could shake up German politics and rattle Europe. The beginning of a new crisis? Is Saxony-Anhalt simply expressing frustration with the political establishment? Or are we about to witness a turning point for Germany — and potentially for Europe? And who is to blame?   These questions spark this week’s debate between EU lawmakers Jean-Marc Germain (Socialists & Democrats) and Hildegard Bentele (European People’s Party).   Listen to this edition of The Ring, brought to you from the European Parliament studios in Brussels. The Ring is Euronews’ weekly political showdown, where Europe’s toughest debates meet their boldest voices.
