Today Radio Schuman features Euronews' Shona Murray's interview with José Manuel Albares, Spain's foreign affairs minister.

He told Euronews about his intention to engage with the Islamic militia group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, now ruling in Syria after decades of Bashar al-Assad's dictatorship.

Meanwhile, the EU is assessing how to re-establish relations with the new government, despite the situation remaining volatile. On Monday, the bloc decided in principle to gradually lift sanctions against the country to help Syrians follow a new political path.

He also spoke about his view on how the situation should develop in Israel and Palestine as well as his stance on defence spending.

Radio Schuman also touches on the visit of Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico to Brussels as well as different types of yoga and who they suit.

Today's Radio Schuman is hosted by Alice Tidey, and produced by Eleonora Vasques. Audio editing by Johan Breton. Music by Alexandre Jas.
