An unprecedented blackout brought much of Spain and Portugal to a standstill on Monday. Pending an official explanation of what caused the incident, we spoke with Euronews' senior energy and environment correspondent Robert Hodgson to understand what exactly went wrong. We also asked whether Europe could be hit by another, similar outage. What regions are most at risk? And can anything be done to prevent it from happening again?

We will also look at a draft proposal signalling a reset of EU-UK relations following Brexit, which will be discussed by ambassadors in Brussels on Wednesday. And finally, which European cities are considered the most liveable?
