00:15Good morning, it's Wednesday the 9th of September, you're watching Euronews, and this is Europe Today.
00:22Coming up, the political reaction to the surge of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta laid bare how sharply
00:30Europe's migration debate has shifted.
00:33From the far right to the center-left, political leaders overwhelmingly called for stronger borders in more effective deterrence.
00:40At the same time, nearly 9 in 10 Spaniards blamed Morocco for the mass migrant crossings into Ceuta in late
00:47July.
00:48That's according to a poll released this week.
00:50We'll speak to a former Spanish foreign minister.
00:54Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was personally alerted by the President of the United Arab Emirates that Hamas was planning
01:02a large-scale offensive against Israel a week before its 7th October 2033 attack, but did not act on the
01:10warning.
01:11That's according to an investigation by reporters of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
01:15The claim, which comes amid a crucial election campaign, prompted Israeli opposition leaders to describe the prime minister as unfit
01:23for office.
01:25Netanyahu denounced the report as an absolute lie.
01:28And a wave of explosions rang out in Kiev yesterday until this morning as Russia resumed strikes on the Ukrainian
01:36capital after a three-day halt.
01:38Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered the pause in attacks as U.S. President Donald Trump's envoys visited the Russian
01:45and Ukrainian capitals over the weekend.
01:48According to the authorities, the latest strikes killed at least five people, injured 35, and damaged buildings across the capital,
01:57including a TV station, while journalists were live on air.
02:01Welcome to the program. I'm Stefan Grobe.
02:04It's been more than a month since around 80,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco
02:12in the most dramatic border surge in Europe in recent years.
02:16Yesterday, Ceuta's mayor president, Juan Jesús Vivas, met with senior EU officials in Brussels to seek greater European support for
02:25the continuing crisis, warning that the city was still on the edge of the abyss.
02:31Our correspondent, Merit Gwynne, followed those meetings for us and joins me now in the studio.
02:36Good morning, Merit.
02:37Good morning, Stefan.
02:38So, why don't you tell us what was the message to Brussels of the mayor?
02:43Well, the mayor president of Ceuta came to Brussels, Stefan, above all, with a plea for help.
02:48He said that the people of Ceuta are still suffering, that they haven't regained a sense of normality in their
02:55day-to-day lights.
02:56He, in fact, described the enclave as a pressure cooker about to explode.
03:01Now, to remind our viewers, in late July, in the space of just 48 hours, around 80,000 migrants crossed
03:07into the enclave from Morocco.
03:09The population of Ceuta is around 80,000.
03:11That really tells you all you need to know about the scale of this crisis.
03:15Let's take a listen now to what Juan Jesús Vivas had to say yesterday.
03:19Ceuta is experiencing the most difficult moment in its history.
03:25I can say with complete certainty that it is on the brink of collapse.
03:29And to emerge from this situation, to return to normality, and to emerge stronger from this difficult time,
03:36it needs alliances and it needs to draw upon its strengths.
03:44Now, Stefan, I've never seen the press from where he spoke earlier in the day yesterday so full,
03:49such is the interest in this story, which, above all, was also, of course, a humanitarian and human crisis
03:55with over 100 migrants also losing their lives in late July during that crossing.
04:00Now, Juan Jesús Vivas also had concrete requests for senior officials in Brussels,
04:04including the Commissioners for Migration and the Mediterranean.
04:07He said he wants a greater presence for Frontex, the EU's border agency, in the enclave,
04:12that he wants a special status for both Ceuta and Melilla before the EU,
04:17and that he also wants financial contributions to help fortify the border with Morocco
04:21and address the needs of the unaccompanied minors that remain in Ceuta.
04:26Now, also, very interesting, I think, above all, this is what struck me from the visit yesterday, Stefan,
04:32is that he asked for a more forceful and firm position from the EU towards Morocco.
04:39Now, he clearly pinned the blame on Morocco, saying they had some sort of involvement in this crossing,
04:45citing the police reports, the leaked police reports,
04:48that suggest that Moroccan security officials did facilitate the crossing in late July.
04:52We know that the Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has stood in defence of Rabat since the start of this crisis,
04:58but for Juan Jesús Vivas, he told the EU that any fruitful cooperation with a third country
05:03needs to start from respect, and he said that Morocco is clearly not respecting
05:07the territorial integrity of either Ceuta or Europe.
05:12And we know, Stefan, finally, that Morocco and the EU are in the process of negotiating a new agreement,
05:17a broad cooperation agreement, which will include border controls.
05:21So a real pressure now on Brussels to listen to Ceuta and Spain's concerns when that agreement is being formed.
05:27Yeah, we're going to talk about Morocco next.
05:29Thank you so much, Marit, for your reporting.
05:33Ceuta has, once again, exposed the fragile and often complicated relationship between Spain and Morocco
05:40and raised much bigger questions for the European Union.
05:43For Madrid, cooperation with Rabat is essential to controlling one of Europe's most sensitive external borders.
05:50But when migration becomes part of a diplomatic dispute,
05:53how vulnerable does that make Spain and the EU?
05:58Joining me now to discuss this is Arantxa González-Laya,
06:01a former Spanish foreign minister under Pedro Sánchez.
06:04Good morning, ma'am.
06:06Good morning, Stefan.
06:08So, Ceuta has once again become the focal point of a confrontation between Spain and Morocco.
06:14Has Spain been too dependent on Morocco to control one of its borders?
06:19Well, first, I would say in order to characterize the situation is a hybrid attack suffered by Europe in its
06:28external border.
06:29This external border happens to be in Spain.
06:31But if we want to characterize the situation is an attack on an external border of the European Union,
06:38using humans, using migration as a tool.
06:41So, migration is the tool.
06:44The objective is, and let's be very clear about that also,
06:49to weaken Spain and through that to weaken the European Union
06:53at the time when the European Union is going through a lot of electoral process at that time,
07:00when there are questionings in the European Union,
07:03including from political parties within the European Union,
07:06and where migration is a sensitive social issue.
07:09So, I would say let's start there so that we understand how the European Union can help protect better
07:17this external border of the EU, which happens to be in Ceuta, Spain.
07:23So, when Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez broke decades of official neutrality
07:29to endorse Morocco's autonomy plan for Western Sahara in 2022,
07:34many labeled it a policy of appeasement.
07:37Well, that appeasement obviously failed during the Ceuta crisis in July.
07:42How can Madrid reset its relations with Morocco?
07:47I think it's important that we take this as European Union relations with the neighbor.
07:55And to me, you know, Europe must have the best relationship possible with its neighbors.
08:02Whether it's the neighbors in the south, whether it's the neighbors on the east,
08:06some neighbors lend themselves better to a more cooperative approach,
08:10and some are more difficult.
08:11But the starting point has to be to have as best as possible a relationship with European neighbors,
08:17because this, at the end of the day, would be good for the stability of Europe.
08:21But in the specific case of Spain, I think there are two things that we need to keep into account.
08:27First, the incredible vulnerability of our neighbor.
08:31Remember, when 80,000 citizens cross the border without anything but a mobile phone as soon as the border is
08:42open,
08:43this shows a fragility.
08:45It shows that these people don't find an answer to their future, you know, lives and prospects in their country,
08:53and they want to look elsewhere.
08:55This is a vulnerability that is medium to long term to stay with us.
08:58We need to take care of that.
09:00Second one is...
09:01Ma'am, that's all we have time for.
09:03I'm very sorry.
09:05But thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us.
09:08That was Arantxa Gonzalez-Laya, a former Spanish foreign minister.
09:13France and Canada have joined the United Kingdom in imposing new trade sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements.
09:20London, Paris and Ottawa are also among 11 countries,
09:23which issued a joint statement yesterday warning the Israeli government's actions in the West Bank
09:29are threatening the possibility of reaching a two-state solution.
09:32This comes as, according to a new investigation by Israeli newspaper Haaretz,
09:38the United Arab Emirates president warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
09:42that Hamas was planning a major operation against Israel 10 days before the October 7th massacre in 2023.
09:51For more on this, our correspondent, Sasha Vakulina, joins me now in the studio.
09:56Good morning, Sasha.
09:57So, Sasha, give us a sense of the magnitude of this revelation.
10:03Well, it is kind of a bombshell revelation, if, of course, the report is true.
10:08Netanyahu, as you said, denies the report, saying this is all a blunt lie.
10:11But nevertheless, according to the Haaretz report,
10:15allegedly Netanyahu received this warning 10 days prior to the attack, as you say.
10:19What makes it different?
10:20Because we do know that Israel allegedly received other warnings as well prior to the attack.
10:25What makes this one different is also how this happened.
10:27This was a one-on-one conversation between the president of the United Arab Emirates
10:32and Benjamin Netanyahu himself.
10:34And then the other thing is that Netanyahu allegedly did not pass on this warning to his security chiefs,
10:40which makes this warning very different from all the others.
10:44Now, I asked what he should have done and how this should have been preceded.
10:49I asked this question to the former Israeli government press person, Aylan Levy,
10:54and this is what he had to say, Stefan.
10:56If this report is true, it's hard to say why he wouldn't pass that on,
11:01other than that he didn't think it was credible.
11:03And that's because Netanyahu was really convinced that Hamas was deterred.
11:08Israel believed that Hamas's leaders would have to be psychopaths to launch a war that
11:14would invite a fierce Israeli response, because even though Hamas's leaders are terrorist scumbags,
11:20they enjoy being in power in Gaza and wouldn't want to sacrifice their hold on power.
11:25If the prime minister receives such a sensitive warning from a senior figure,
11:30one would expect that to be passed on to the security chiefs.
11:33And one of the big what ifs of Israeli history is if this warning was indeed received,
11:40would it have led the intelligence agencies to interpret intelligence a little bit differently
11:46if they could connect the different pieces of the puzzle together?
11:49It was not just an intelligence failure, a failure to read individual warning signs.
11:54It was a basic strategic failure to understand the nature of the enemy facing Israel,
12:00its true intentions, and its real capabilities.
12:04And, you know, another thing that makes it different from other warnings is the timing, Stefan.
12:09The Haaretz investigation comes to seven weeks before the national elections in Israel on the 27th of October.
12:16Mind you, this is going to be the first vote since the tragedy of the October the 7th,
12:21and this matters.
12:23Now, let's take a listen to this.
12:25It's too early to rule Netanyahu out,
12:27but October 7th is overshadowing the elections on October 27th.
12:32Ultimately, that's what the poll is about, about responsibility for October 7th,
12:38about the fallout and the social and economic costs of this war,
12:42and about the military successes of this war.
12:44The opposition wants to make this about responsibility for October 7th itself.
12:49Netanyahu wants to make it about Israel's genuinely impressive military achievements since the massacre.
12:55But undoubtedly, there is huge anger inside Israel and a broad majority of the public
13:01who want a state commission of inquiry.
13:04So the worst disaster in Israel's history can be interrogated properly,
13:08and we can learn the lesson so it never happens again.
13:14Sasha Vakulina, they are reporting for us.
13:17Hungary expelled 10 Russian diplomats in a move to end what they called unacceptable actions.
13:24Russia condemned the move, while the European Union expressed solidarity with Budapest.
13:29To bring you more, I'm joined now by our Hungary correspondent,
13:32Shandor Girosh.
13:34Good morning, Shandor.
13:36So, tell us about the background here.
13:40What is the real story?
13:41Well, the real story is about spying.
13:44During the era of the government of Viktor Orbán,
13:48Russia developed a sort of spying hub at its embassy in Budapest.
13:54At least half of the stuff was related to intelligence agencies.
14:00There was a couple of investigative reports and other investigations into this matter as well.
14:08And now we had a government change in April in Hungary,
14:11and the new government of Peter Magyar decided to break this down,
14:16this spy network, and to send a very strong message to Russia that this is not acceptable.
14:22This shows also a very sharp policy shift of the foreign policy of Hungary.
14:28They will end the very close relationship with Russia that we had before.
14:33And this move, especially this foreign policy move, is very well received in Brussels.
14:40Let's take a look at what the commission spokesperson told me yesterday.
14:45This is an expected reaction with view of Russia's persistent campaign
14:50in using hybrid attacks against the EU and its member states.
14:54The European Union expresses its full solidarity with Hungary
14:58and reaffirms its support for the diplomatic and consular activities
15:02of all member states conducted in accordance with international law.
15:07So I guess the Russians were not happy.
15:10How did they react?
15:10And what does it actually mean, you know, going forward for relations between Hungary and Russia?
15:16Well, that's right.
15:18Russia reacted swiftly and very angrily, I would say.
15:25Very likely that they will expel also 10 Hungarian diplomats.
15:30And the Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, she explicitly threatened Hungary.
15:36She said that russophobes in Hungary will face hard and painful response.
15:41So nevertheless, Russia believes that, you know, Peter Magyar executed an order from Brussels.
15:48So he is acting on behalf of the European Union by doing this.
15:53We don't know what this response will be, but one Russian deputy already threatened Hungary
16:00to cut off its energy supplies from Russia because of these unfriendly moves.
16:06All right.
16:07You know, I love these spy stories, Shando.
16:09So thank you so much for covering this for us.
16:12Now, how well are the world's education systems preparing young people for the future?
16:17The latest OECD PISA report offers a fresh snapshot and, for many countries, a worrying reality check.
16:25From widening inequalities to declining performance in key skills,
16:30the results raise urgent questions about whether schools are keeping pace with a rapidly changing world.
16:36To discuss the report's findings, let's head to Warsaw, where we're joined by Maciej Jakubowski,
16:43director of the Educational Research Institute and a former undersecretary of state at the Polish Ministry of Education.
16:50Good morning, sir.
16:51Good morning.
16:52So, student performance in reading, maths and science is declining across OECD countries.
16:59A worrying trend, according to the EU Commission.
17:02Yesterday, the Commissioner for Skills and Quality Jobs, Roxana Minsato, reacted to the report saying,
17:08and I quote,
17:09Too many young Europeans are falling behind in essential skills.
17:13We recognize the scale of the challenge and the need to act.
17:17So, give us a sense of, you know, how EU countries measure up here.
17:24We see declines across the board, maybe not in the main domain of science,
17:30in which only some countries decline, but in mathematics and reading.
17:34So, foundational skills you need across the board, when you think about education and adult life,
17:41the decline is in most European countries.
17:44And we see an increasing number of students who are not reaching the basic level of proficiency in reading or
17:51in mathematics.
17:51Around one-third of young Europeans are now below so-called level 2 in PISA,
17:58which means that, functionally, they are illiterates.
18:01Well, that's quite disturbing.
18:04How much of the problem is linked to smartphones, social media and declining attention spans?
18:12So, that's very difficult to link.
18:14These are cross-sectional data.
18:15We cannot say casually that there is a relationship, but that's the first guess.
18:20I mean, basically, we see students are not reading that much anymore.
18:24They read on smartphones, which is not the same reading.
18:27I mean, they read very short text, but a lot of them are just watching short movies.
18:33So, the reading skills are falling down.
18:35And the same is with mathematics.
18:37Mathematics is a practice-intensive domain.
18:40So, they are not really using, for example, technology like AI to learn.
18:45They are using AI to solve problems, to get quick solutions.
18:49So, we see that the practice is less intensive and we think that's a problem.
18:55Okay, well, thank you so much for your insights, Maciej Jakubowski.
19:03That does it for us today.
19:06I'm Stefan Grobe.
19:07Take care and see you tomorrow.
19:18Take care and see you tomorrow.
19:56Take care and see you tomorrow.
