Nuclear power is a "reliable and affordable source of low-emission energy," von der Leyen said.

In Cyprus, popular discontent is growing over the British military presence on the island. Demonstrators held a rally outside the presidential palace in Nicosia on Saturday calling for UK military bases to be closed.

The UK has had two bases in Akrotiri and Dhekelia since 1960 which are now being used by the US military in the Iran war.
