Tune in to Euronews' new flagship morning programme, Europe Today, at 8 am Brussels time. In just 15 minutes, we get you up to speed on the biggest news taking place across the continent.

Another day, another attempt to end the war in Ukraine, now entering its fourth winter. As the US piles pressure on the country to make concessions, the French president rolled out the red carpet for President Zelenskyy and his wife Olena Zelenska. As they move on to Ireland today, concern is rising that Ukraine will be forced into a bad deal. For an update, we are joined on set by Euronews’ Ukraine correspondent Sasha Vakulina and Euronews’ EU editor Maria Tadeo.

Also on set, we will be joined by Andrius Kubilius, the EU Commissioner for defence and space. The centre right politician from Lithuania has been twice Prime Minister, party leader and even had a stint as a member of the European Parliament. As EU commissioner for defence based in Brussels, his task now is to rearm Europe.

But most of us are focused on counting the days to Christmas, especially now that advent has begun. The city of Brussels though has sparked a major controversy among worshippers for installing an alternative kind of crib in the iconic Grand Place. Aida Sanchez reports.

Another big debate is taking place, but this time next door in France is about whether or not to cut free health care for foreign pensioners. Our Jakub Janas brings you some bad news now if you were planning to retire one day in the South of France!
