The European Commission is currently outlining new strategies to overhaul the EU enlargement process, with a specific focus on the implications for candidate nations, including Ukraine and their relationship with NATO. Euronews contributor Luca Bertuzzi is leading the coverage on these proposed structural shifts and how they will shape the future of the union.

Meanwhile, in Germany, thousands of demonstrators have gathered in the city of Erfurt. The protests were organized to voice opposition to the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party during the group’s annual conference. Euronews reporter Sonja Issel is on the ground providing updates on the situation as the demonstrations unfold.

For those looking to follow these developments, Euronews offers daily updates featuring chief anchor Méabh Mc Mahon and EU editor Maria Tadeo. Their reports are broadcast live every weekday at 8 am Brussels time on television, the official Euronews website, and across various digital platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, X, and Instagram.
