Today in the EU

EU's compromise with Orbán over the Russian oil ban/why monkeypox isn’t the end of the world


Listen Later

This week on our Beyond the Byline podcast, we're focusing on the extraordinary meeting of EU leaders in Brussels to discuss energy, Ukraine and food security. We'll ask: What sanctions were discussed as part of the meeting? What's happening with the ban on Russian oil? Who was opposed to it and how did the leaders find common ground? To discuss all these questions, I’m joined by EURACTIV’s Kira Taylor.

And - while the leaders were negotiating indoors, environmentalist groups were protesting just outside. We also spoke to Fridays for Future's Dominika Lasota about the significance of the oil ban on the environment.

We also addressed the other story on everyone's lips this week: the monkeypox virus, cases of which have been reported in a number of European countries. Listen to Daniel Bausch, infectious disease expert and president of the American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene and EURACTIV’s health reporter Giedre Peseckyte explain why monkeypox won't be the end of the world.
