Hungary blocks €50bn of EU funding for Ukraine | BBC News

Published

on



Hungary has blocked €50bn ($55bn; £43bn) in EU aid for Ukraine – just hours after an agreement was reached on starting membership talks.

“Summary of the nightshift: veto for the extra money to Ukraine,” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said after Thursday’s talks in Brussels.

EU leaders said the aid negotiations would resume early next year.

The aid blocking was announced by Mr Orban shortly after the EU leaders decided to open membership talks with Ukraine and Moldova and to grant candidate status to Georgia.

Hungary – which maintains close ties with Russia – has long opposed membership for Ukraine but did not veto that move.

    Ukraine is going down without aid. Either way Ukraine gave Russia hell no matter what. A lot of young Russian males have died in this war as well as Ukraine men. That part of the world will be depleted of repopulation for some time.

    Orban is a Putin Supporter, therefore Hungary should be kicked out of Nato and the EU. Beyond that no one Country should have Veto power, that is stupidly undemocratic, Majority should rule.

    I would rather have Russia as our ally than our enemy.When communism ended in Europe in the early 90s all our leaders invested trillions in communist China instead of our fellow European countries in Eastern Europe and Russia.What the hell were they thinking?

    December 17, 2023 at 5:41 am

    Definitely seems to be a huge flaw in the EU that in such a catastrophic and consequential decision that literally has a direct effect on the lives of an entire country and the existence a country and a decision in the eu that could mean life or death, victory or defeat can be derailed by one vote or one nation. Especially when we can see that nation is basically a ally of the enemy and the one responsible for the current holocaust similar actions against Ukrainians. 99% of eu can vote for good and salvation and just 1 traitor and member can vote no and single handedly help the enemy succeed and lead to death of a country. That's a fundamental flaw in the EU n makes it almost useless when there's so many members

    While we start membership talks with Ukrain, could we also start talks about founding EU 2.0 without hungary and a system that can't be blocked as it is currently is by hungary and had been before by poland?

Are robot companions good for the elderly? – BBC News

Published

on



Voice-operated care robots are being marketed at older people who spend most of their time alone at home.

However, there are also concerns that technology pretending to be older people’s friends actually makes things worse.

CEO and co-founder of Intuition Robotics Dor Skuler said: “As humans we have a lot of social needs, we have a need for companionship, we have a need for social interaction and we felt that technology has reached a point where an artificially-enabled robot can do that.”

Retiree Beryl Voss explains why she uses care companion robot ElliQ at home and how it works.

President Trump says the US won’t attack Iran before crucial midterm elections | BBC News

Published

Donald Trump says the United States will not attack Iran ‘at any time’ before the midterm elections at the start of November.

His comments follow US media reports that the Pentagon was preparing plans for fresh strikes and a return to combat operations.

Elsewhere the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen attack airports across Saudi Arabia, with smoke billowing over Riyadh as the conflict continues to escalate.

And the USS Abraham Lincoln returns to California after a record-breaking deployment to the Middle East, which was plagued by reports of low morale and attempted suicides.

Houthi missile attack on Yemeni presidential palace kills two, minister says | BBC News

Published

on



The Houthis in Yemen have attacked the presidential palace in the port city of Aden – the seat of the internationally-recognised government.

Meanwhile, President Masoud Pezeshkian has told Iranians that the country is facing its most intense blockade since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and has accused the US of seeking to provoke public protests.

The Saudi-led military coalition fighting Yemen’s Houthis says it has intercepted a missile in the Medina region. The Houthis have threatened more attacks on Saudi Arabia but have denied carrying out this one.

Finally, according to reports, the US is considering using its biggest non-nuclear bomb against Iran if President Donald Trump should decide to renew combat in the war that has hit a deadlock.

Yemen frontline: fighting the Houthi rebels targeting Saudi Arabia | BBC News

Published

on



Heavy fighting has been taking place in Yemen, as pro-government forces take on the country’s Houthi rebels, whose recent attacks on neighbouring Saudi Arabia have seized the world’s attention.

Yemen’s long civil war has become impossible to ignore, as the latest attacks by the Houthis, who are funded by Iran, play into the wider conflicts in the Middle East.

The Houthis took control of Yemen’s capital in 2014, ousting the country’s internationally-recognised government. A year later a Saudi-led coalition of Arab states intervened, trying to dislodge the Houthis. Despite years of devastating air strikes, that hasn’t worked.

Now Yemen’s Houthi fighters – already a threat to global shipping with attacks in the Red Sea – are an increasing threat to Saudi Arabia. And they provide leverage for their backers in Iran, Saudi’s regional rival.

The BBC has been given rare access to Yemen and the latest desert battlefields.
