       > For decades people have been suggesting an EU army, a military
       force covering the entire bloc. However, it seems that the war
       in Ukraine has suddenly made this more likely, with even Germany
       keener. So in this video, we explain the idea & if it's likely.

       > In tonight's edition: The EU turns to Nigeria as it looks for
       alternative suppliers of oil and gas. The bloc is trying to
       strengthen its ties to  Africa's top petroleum producer. Dozens
       have died as extreme floods hit KwaZulu-Natal province. in South
       Africa. And Ethiopian researchers are hoping that a local
       staple, known as the false banana could offer a way to tackle
       food shortages.

       Nigeria should get EU membership (including Schengen Agreement
       membership) as a condition for supplying oil and gas to the EU.
       Nigeria would be a fool to start supplying without first
       demanding this.

       Is Europe trying to sway India away from Russia? | DW News
       --- Quote ---
       > The European Union is desperate to boost ties with India and
       encourage New Delhi to reduce its links to Russia, its main arms
       supplier. Head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen
       on Monday called on India to align itself closer with the
       European Union as New Delhi attempts to balance its ties with
       Moscow and the West.  In a speech to the Raisina Dialogue, an
       annual conference held in Delhi, von der Leyen said a close
       relationship with the European Union was in the strategic
       interests of India.
       >
       > She said India and the EU are "natural partners" who "thrive
       in a world of common rules and fair competition." But von der
       Leyen warned that these values were threatened by Russia and
       China. "The reality is that the core principles that underpin
       peace and security across the world are at stake," she said,
       going on to reference China and Russia's "no limits" partnership
       signed shortly before the invasion of Ukraine. She said the war
       was affecting not just Europe, but also the Indo-Pacific,
       already visible through the rising cost of food and fertilizer.
       The Commission chief said it was in the interests of the EU for
       the Indo-Pacific to remain open and become more prosperous.
       Therefore, she said, the EU was deepening its engagement with
       partners in the region, including ASEAN. Von der Leyen
       criticized China's "debt-trap diplomacy," which critics say
       allows Beijing to take control of ports and vital
       infrastructure. Instead, she advocated for the EU's Global
       Gateway program, which aims to invest €300 billion in partner
       countries. She said India could particularly benefit from this
       fund in the realm of climate change and energy production, and
       digital technology.

       > The war in Ukraine is driving a wedge between France and
       Germany. The two big economies of Europe are fighting over the
       course of action of the war. While France wants a new collective
       of democracies, Germany wants a phased ban on Russian oil and
       gas. In this episode of DeCode we look at the history of France
       and Germany's relation and their different approach to the
       Russia war.
