Jessica Rosencrantz (M): Inget motsatsförhållande mellan upprustning och klimat

Ekots lördagsintervju

EU-minister Jessica Rosencrantz (M) om stödet till Ukraina, om upprustning och konkurrenskraft som ställs mot klimatpolitik och om Trumps tullar. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Under torsdagen möttes ett 30-tal regeringschefer och ledare för Nato och EU i Paris för att diskutera en fredsplan för Ukraina. En av frågorna som ”koalitionen av villiga” diskuterade var europeiska säkerhetsstyrkor på ukrainskt territorium efter ett eldupphör. EU-minister Jessica Rosencrantz (M) säger att det handlar om att på olika sätt ge stöd till Ukraina:”Jag tror att i mångt och mycket kommer historien att döma Europa efter hur väl vi nu står upp för Ukraina och vad som är rätt. Och de här mötena handlar ju just om det, hur ska vi kunna stärka Ukrainas position inför en vapenvila och inför möjliga kommande fredsförhandlingar.”, säger Jessica Rosencrantz.Frankrike och Storbritannien ska leda koalitionen, Sveriges regering har ännu inte tagit ställning till om Sverige ska delta i eventuella säkerhetsstyrkor i Ukraina eller ej. Statsminister Ulf Kristersson har tidigare sagt att man först vill ha säkerhetsgarantier från USA, något USA inte gett. Betyder det att Sverige inte kommer att vara med om USA inte ger några garantier?”Vi utesluter ingenting i detta skede, men den här är en dialog som vi för med våra nära allierade, med våra partnerländer. Det är viktigt att diskutera hur ett europeiskt engagemang kan se ut för att ge varaktig fred och Sverige deltar i de diskussionerna. Men vi behöver få bättre klarhet i förutsättningarna, helt enkelt.”, säger Jessica Rosencrantz.Försvar och konkurrenskraft vs klimat?På grund av kriget i Ukraina och osäkerheten kring USA:s roll i Nato och Europa ligger stort fokus på försvar och säkerhet just nu inom EU. Finns det en risk att upprustningen tränger undan åtgärder mot klimatförändringen, den fråga som en majoritet av svenskarna tycker att EU-parlamentet bör prioritera enligt Eurobarometers senaste mätning?”Jag ser inget motsatsförhållande här, vi måste kunna hålla flera tankar i huvudet samtidigt, se att Europa står inför flera utmaningar. Det är helt uppenbart att vi behöver rusta upp vårt eget försvar, det har varit underinvesterat under lång tid. Det är av avgörande vikt att Europa nu verkligen kliver fram. Parallellt har vi ju en klimatutmaning som vi måste möta. Vi måste hålla i våra klimatmål och grunden i det som är EU:s klimatramverk med utsläppshandelssystem. Och avgörande för allt detta är att vi får den Europeiska ekonomin att växa.”, säger Jessica Rosencrantz.På senare år har Europas ekonomier halkat efter USA och Kina. Gapet mellan USA:s och EU:s BNP ökade från 17 till 30 procent mellan 2002 och 2023. Som ett svar på detta kom Dragirapporten förra året med en rad förslag som ska öka konkurrenskraften för Europas företag. Bland annat handlar det om att minska regelbördan för företagen, varav en del rör miljö och klimat och beslutades inom ramen för EU:s gröna giv under förra mandatperioden.Lättade klimatkravEn del av den gröna given är förbudet att sälja nya bensin- och dieselbilar från 2035. Redan i år skulle biltillverkarna minska bilarnas koldioxidutsläpp med en viss procent. Men i mars föreslog kommissionen att låta biltillverkarna få längre tid på sig att uppfylla det här delmålet. Det välkomnas av tyska och franska biltillverkare, men inte av Volvo Cars, som redan anpassat sig efter miljökraven. Och Jessica Rosencrantz säger att hon inte tycker att man bör mjuka upp kraven:”Vi är ju kritiska till detta, och det har vi också framfört. Vi tycker att vi ska stå fast vid målet att fasa ut fossilbilar till 2035.”, säger Jessica Rosencrantz. ”Vi vet också att företag som Volvo och andra som ställt om i god tid och gjort sin läxa skulle påverkas negativt av att man ruckar på den här typen av regelverk”Däremot är regeringen för flera av de andra uppluckringar som nu sker på klimatområdet i EU. Bland annat vill kommissionen sänka krav på bland annat hållbarhetsrapportering som beslutades under förra mandatperioden. EU-minister Jessica Rosencrantz tycker att det är rätt väg att gå. Hon utesluter inte heller att skjuta på EU:s redan beslutade koldioxidtullar, CBAM, som ska göra det dyrare att importera produkter med stora klimatavtryck. Både hennes moderata partikamrat Tomas Tobé och deras partigrupp i Europaparlamentet, EPP, vill skjuta på CBAM i två år.”Jag tycker att CBAM är ett bra verktyg, det jämnar ut spelplanen mellan europeiska företag och deras konkurrenter utanför Europa, men vi måste kunna lyssna på våra företag som skickar signaler till oss att det är väldigt betungande. Så den analysen gör vi nu, om det finns anledning att modifiera på något sätt.”, säger Jessica Rosencrantz.Gäst: Jessica Rosencrantz (M), EU-ministerProgramledare: Katarina von ArndtKommentar: Ci HolmgrenTeknik: Mikael SarabiProducent: Maja LagercrantzIntervjun spelades in på eftermiddagen fredag den 28 mars 2025.

This week, the actors practiced delivering lines from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" using a technique that involved looking at the camera when speaking and looking at the screen when listening to capture the feeling of direct engagement. Emphasis was placed on understanding the meaning behind the words, which sometimes led to emotional revelations. They worked on specific lines to bring out operative words and discussed the implications of ambition within the text. The exercise aimed to illuminate nuances of the text by slowing down and emphasizing clarity in delivery. Subscribe to get notified of our next rehearsal session!

Person Place Thing with Randy Cohen

Her solo performance of Hamlet—yes, all the parts (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern)—should be accessible to everyone. “Shakespeare is presented to people these days as 'this is good for you.' I've heard the term ‘spinach theater.'” The trick? Avoid vegetables, emphasize history, preserve the beauty of the verse: words, words, words!

For his final production as thirty-year artistic director of Chicago's Tony-winning Court Theatre, Charles Newell transforms Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead into an unexpectedly joyful celebration of legacy and theater. Newell reveals his lengthy relationship with not only Stoppard's plays but with the man himself, and shares how he cast two halves of a whole; how he chose to respond instinctively to what was happening in rehearsal rather than adhere to an intricate plan; and how he embraced the counterintuitive and seemingly-oxymoronic phrase “joyful requiem.” (PICTURED: Erik Hellman and Nate Burger as Guildenstern and Rosencrantz in the Court Theatre production of Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, directed by Charles Newell.

Starting off with the 1990 film, the Sneople gush about why it's an incredible stage to screen adaptation, what makes it a compelling piece of media even if you haven't read Hamlet a million times (like they have oops), and why Tim Roth is so devastatingly good looking. Beyond that, also talk about the play itself, and why both the play and the movie speak to them in different ways. Unsurprisingly, the episode does spin off a couple times into just talking about absurdist plays and/or Hamlet but that's to be expected.

Butterfly”, “Love Letters”, “Ragtime” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”.  Off-Broadway, he starred in “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead” and “Counsellor at Law”, for which he received the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Lead Actor in a Play, as well as nominations for both the Outer Critics' and Drama League Awards.   He's appeared in over 200 movies, TV shows, made-for-TV movies and miniseries.  Some of his most popular feature films are “Getting Straight”, “The Boys From Brazil”, “Someone to Watch Over Me”, “Another Stakeout”, “21 Grams”, “The Candlelight Murders” and “Being the Ricardos”.  On TV you've seen him in dozens of TV shows including “Family”, for which he received an Emmy Award nomination, “Crazy Like a Fox”, “Bureau of Alien Detectors”, “Star Trek Enterprise”, “The Young and the Restless”, “Desperate Housewives”, “Dear White People”, “Claws” and many more.    His TV movies include “The American Clock”, for which he received a Cable Ace Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, “M.A.D.D.: Mothers Against Drunk Drivers”, “The Gift of the Magi”, “Norma Jean and Marilyn”, and “Liberace”.   And some of his noteworthy miniseries are “The French Atlantic Affair”, “Roots: The Next Generations”, “The Two Mrs. Grenvilles”, “When we Rise”, “Feud”, and “Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story”.   He's directed many stage productions, including “Les Liaisons Dangeureuses”, “Macbeth”, “Wait Until Dark”, “Brigadoon”, “Guys and Dolls” and many other shows.  Our guest is also a brilliant composer, which comes as no surprise, given that he's the son of the greatest pianist of all time, in my opinion, Arthur Rubinstein.  And he's the grandson of the renowned Polish violinist, conductor and composer Emil Młynarski.   He's written the music scores for a number of movies and TV shows including “Jeremiah Johnson”, “The Candidate”, “Family”, “The Ordeal of Patty Hearst”, “Johnny Belinda”, “China Beach” and “A Walton Wedding”.  And believe me, I'm just scratching the surface of this man's prodigious body of work. For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/ To see more about John Rubinstein and the film, go to: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0748270/https://www.playbill.com/person/john-rubinstein-vault-0000020233 #JohnRubinstein    #harveybrownstoneinterviews

So nice of you to agree and come over to our podcast. Thank you very much.Naveen Kishore: Thank you for having me.H: You were interested in theatre initially during your school days and college days. How did it lead to publishing?N: The theatre actually happened at school, everybody does theatre in school, so that was okay, but then I think it was in college that I really tasted blood, as it were, as far as theatre is concerned. But I remember there was a theatre group called the Red Curtain, which was essentially made up of young people from different colleges who had left school, started a theatre group as the school leavers. They started to do amateur theatre, but with great quality, aesthetic, style, production values. When I joined them, I was a backstage person. My first theatre experience was a play called Wait Until Dark, where I used to sit behind a refrigerator with a small cassette recorder. And every time the blind leading lady opened the fridge, I would have to put on the duct to create the sound of the machine and synchronize it with her shutting it. And at one point in this thriller, which was also a good film, this blind woman is trying to smash all the bulbs because she is going to be attacked by these two people. And I have to synchronize the swinging of her sort of stick to the bulbs and simulate a crash in a waste-paper basket with old bulbs and metal brass. This was my first beginning.H: Sounds too complicated.N: It was good fun. You were assisting backstage and then, immediately, you were plunged into the deep end. The next play was Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard. The Red Curtain was a very democratic set up, so they said: You design the sets and light. I knew nothing about it, but the British Council Library was very useful, so I used to go and study lighting-design books. But at that point, I was playing by the rules, where I was lighting your face as an actor at 45 degrees. But I was frustrated because I couldn't achieve darkness, so that was a disaster.I made a mess of it, I think. But for the next play I designed, Ibsen's Ghosts, I think I threw the rule book out of the window and I started to light the air around the actors. In real...

Tom Stoppard on “Leopoldstadt,” and Geena Davis talks with Michael Schulman

Tom Stoppard has been a fixture on Broadway since his famous early play, “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,” travelled there in 1967. Stoppard is eighty-five years old, and has largely resisted the autobiographical element in his work. But now, in “Leopoldstadt,” a play that has just opened on Broadway, he draws on his family's tragic losses in the Second World War. Stoppard talks with the contributor Andrew Dickson about his latest work.  And the Oscar- and Emmy Award-winning actor Geena Davis, best known for her role in “Thelma and Louise,” talks with the staff writer Michael Schulman about her life and career. Davis ascribes much of her early experience on- and offscreen to a certain level of politeness, a character trait ingrained in her from childhood. “I learned politeness from minute one, I'm sure,” she tells Schulman. “That was my family: very old-fashioned New Englanders.” She reflects on her childhood, her iconic roles in the eighties and nineties, and her “journey to badassery” in her new memoir, “Dying of Politeness,” out this month.
