03:22Should we all be going out and getting boosters?
03:24Should we be isolating if we get COVID?
03:28During the summer months, there was very little COVID.
03:31And I even thought, okay, maybe it's disappearing.
03:33It has not disappeared.
03:35It is back.
03:36But it is back under the mild form, milder form of Omicron.
03:40That is the type of SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID that is disappearing now everywhere in Europe.
03:48But we have antibodies against it.
03:50This is extremely contagious, which means that all of us have had it probably multiple times.
03:56And many of us, they have received vaccines in the past years.
04:01So we're doing okay against Omicron.
04:04So this might be the period of the year, as it is for many other respiratory viruses, that they appear.
04:11And then they will reach a peak and go away again.
04:14But nothing, there is really no evidence at all that this will be 2020 or 2021 revisited.
04:23This is not going to happen.
04:25This will be a mild epidemic at best.
04:28Okay.
04:28Lots of good news this morning from Mark.
04:29Ron Rance, thank you so much for joining us here in the studio.
04:32But now, moving on today marks three years since the October 7th attacks by Hamas, a day that shocked Israel
04:39and the world.
04:40Meanwhile, the war on Hamas in Gaza continues to produce a human tragedy with thousands dead and no clear path
04:46to peace.
04:47At the parliament in Strasbourg, tensions erupted with one French MEP of Palestinian and Kurdish origin accused of kicking an
04:54Israeli flag to the ground.
04:56And Rima Hassan denies throwing the flag and says she actually just removed it from its stand.
05:02Taking to X, she said, my gesture is part of the denunciation of the ongoing genocide, of violations of international
05:09law and of this incessant and unbearable double standard.
05:12She said a Russian flag would never be admitted.
05:16After that instant, Israel's ambassador to France, that's Joshua Zarca, told our Europe editor, Maria Taddeo, that the episode reflects
05:22rising anti-Semitism in France.
05:24I cannot understand how a person that aims to be a politician, that aims to represent the public, can be
05:33so violent and disrespectful of the death of thousands of people that has been caused by the same cause that
05:40she's trying to help.
05:43The head of the European parliament is saying this is unacceptable and she takes this extremely serious.
05:48From your part as the Israeli ambassador to France, will you ask for the European parliament to put forward more
05:55sanctions?
05:56Will you ask the French government to take action once the details are clarified?
06:01You know, Mrs. Rima Hassan, the member of parliament that kicked down the flags, is accused of support to terrorism.
06:11She is supposed to appear before court in the next few days.
06:15This is a person that has been extremely active in her anti-Zionism and her anti-Semitism in the support
06:23of terrorism.
06:23She openly supports Hamas.
06:26She openly supports what Hamas did on October 7th.
06:29But this is a terrible person, let's be clear.
06:32And I think that she's perceived to be a terrible person by the largest part of the French politics.
06:40So it's not that I need to convince anybody that that's the case.
06:44And she's also supporting openly terrorism in her statements and in the support that she gave to terrorist acts that
06:52took place in Israel in the past.
06:53So she's a terrible person, let's be clear about that.
06:58I do want to clarify, there is an ongoing legal process, but she has denied, she supported or expressed an
07:04apology of terrorism.
07:05Of course, that case will continue its path.
07:07But specifically, though, given that this incident took place in the European parliament in Strasbourg, will you escalate this matter
07:14to French authorities?
07:15Will you ask for this to be investigated as hate, anti-Semitism?
07:20This is an issue that has been dealt with by the European parliament.
07:25In our division of labor, our embassy to Brussels, the embassy to the European Union, is the one in charge
07:32of following this issue.
07:34And to the best of my understanding, there is a very close dialogue between our embassy and the president of
07:40the European parliament concerning this issue,
07:44with the purpose of making sure that something like that will never happen again and that Mrs. Rima Hassan faces
07:50the charges she needs to face.
07:52But you say all anti-Semitism is unacceptable.
07:54I have to ask you about the allegations that have appeared in the French press that Jordan Bardella, the right
07:59-hand man of Marine Le Pen, made anti-Semitic comments when he was 17.
08:03Some of these comments include the Jews control all the banks.
08:08Do you see that also as equally worrying?
08:10Of course. Any type of anti-Semitism, any statement, any type of statement, act, anyway, is unacceptable and is comprehensible.
08:20Now, the question is, as you said, these are allegations and we are following very closely.
08:25And we will make or we will react to it once it is clear that these allegations are true, or
08:32if not, then we react.
08:34Otherwise, for the time being, we will reserve our response.
08:38We have an issue.
08:39There is an issue of anti-Semitism in France.
08:41There is an issue of anti-Semitism in Europe.
08:44Unfortunately, the raise of anti-Semitism has happened significantly after October 7th.
08:50But there is one party who is openly, in France, openly anti-Semitic, and that's LFI.
08:57And the leader of that party, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is copying the mimics of leaders that were active in Europe
09:08in the 30s of the last centuries.
09:10So are you making a comparison also to Nazism and Hitler?
09:13Would you say that this gentleman acts like Hitler did in the 30s?
09:17I've said that publicly in the past already, yes.
09:22Now, moving on to the Black Sea, which has become a battlefield of late, with drone incursions off both Romania
09:29and Bulgaria's coast, resulting in fiery blazes, sunken ships, and loss of life.
09:34For more, we can bring in now our defence correspondent, Angela Scudins.
09:37Good morning, Angela.
09:38Just tell us more about the recent instance.
09:40Yes, good morning, Maeve.
09:41So the latest incursion that we saw occurred yesterday, roughly 130 kilometres off Bulgaria's coast in the early hours.
09:49Two commercial vessels were attacked by sea and aerial drones.
09:53One suffered significant damage and sank on the spot.
09:57The other caught fire.
09:58Thankfully, no one was significantly injured and no one died in this incursion.
10:03Now, Bulgaria, of course, is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, as well as the European Union.
10:08The European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen came out with strong words yesterday, stating that Brussels stands in support
10:15with countries on Europe's eastern flank and attacks on civilian shipping are simply unacceptable.
10:22We also heard similar rhetoric coming out of Sofia from Bulgaria's Prime Minister Ruman Radov.
10:27He didn't mince words when he decried this incident that occurred yesterday following an emergency meeting.
10:34Let's take a listen to what he had to say.
10:36This is an absolutely unacceptable attack within Bulgaria's exclusive economic zone.
10:48It is a flagrant violation of international law and maritime norms, further disrupting shipping in the Black Sea, driving insurance
10:58costs even higher, and making navigation increasingly difficult.
11:07The thing is, this is not the first incursion, right?
11:12Certainly not.
11:13And not only is it the first, not the first incursion in the Black Sea, but also along Europe's eastern
11:18flank.
11:19Now, we've got a little map here.
11:20Let's take a look.
11:21There have been three major incursions of late.
11:24Of course, there was this recent incident in Bulgaria.
11:26The day before that, on Monday, we saw an incident off Romania's coast.
11:30And on the 20th of August, there was a similar incident off Romania's coast once again.
11:36But let's take a look at Monday, because this was a significant escalation when it comes to alleged hybrid warfare,
11:41if we can even call it that anymore.
11:44A cargo ship carrying Ukrainian grain operated by Turkish authorities caught fire, was attacked by drones and sank.
11:52As a result, two people died in this incursion and scores were injured.
11:57Of course, there was that other incident on the 20th of August in Romania, too, where an explosive-laden drone
12:02was shot down by fighter jets.
12:05Now, this really shows an escalation of behavior and a pattern.
12:09But we also need to look at blame.
12:12So Romania has been quite clear in attributing blame to Moscow.
12:15But they've stated that these are merely what happens as a byproduct of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
12:21The rhetoric has been significantly toned down to what we saw in Berlin with that Leipzig drone incident.
12:27However, Bulgaria hasn't said the same things when it comes to Hustubai.
12:31My understanding is that they're still investigating this drone incursion that occurred on Tuesday.
12:35But I guess the bigger question is, Maeve, how much the European Union, as well as NATO, can stomach when
12:41it comes to these incidents,
12:42which have resulted in two people dying, as well as what they can do.
12:45We know the European Union is working on an anti-hybrid warfare playbook, but whether these incidents even fall within
12:51the remit of hybrid warfare is yet to be seen,
12:54and what they can really do to counter these incursions.
12:57It's also my understanding that Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey are working with the machinations of NATO to bolster security in
13:04the Black Sea, too.
13:05So civilian vessels can do their jobs and bring grain to Europe, as well as the Middle East and Africa.
13:11Okay, Angela Scudgens, thank you so much for your report there.
13:14And now we can move on as EU ambassadors are close to finalising about 1,650 new additions to the
13:21sanctions list against Russia.
13:23This comes less than a month after Alisher Usmanov, often dubbed one of Putin's favourite billionaires,
13:28and Michel Friedman, a banking magnate, were controversially dropped from the lists after pressure from France and Slovakia.
13:35For more, we can head now to Strasbourg, where the human rights activist Bill Browder joins us this morning.
13:40Good morning, Bill. Thank you so much for joining us.
13:42Has the EU just shown that its sanctions regime can be cracked by political backroom deals, do you think?
13:51Well, could you repeat the question? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.
13:54Do you think the EU has just shown that its sanctions regime can be cracked by political backroom deals,
14:01the fact that two countries got their way here?
14:06Absolutely. And I think that this is a shameful decision to let these two guys off the sanctions list.
14:13And I think it's actually a dangerous decision, particularly in the case of Alisher Usmanov.
14:20Here you have a situation where he was effectively taken off the sanctions list because a hostage was swapped for
14:29him from Azerbaijan.
14:31And so what does this say to other Russian oligarchs who continue to be on the sanctions list?
14:36They could encourage other countries to take hostages to put into this type of negotiation.
14:42The fact that these types of backroom deals, these dirty, dirty deals are possible really puts a very dark cloud
14:51over the whole sanctions program.
14:53That's the thing, Bill. Do you fear a precedent now is set after this saga?
15:01A very bad precedent has been set. So imagine that you're one of these other thousands of oligarchs sitting in
15:08Russia.
15:08And I should point out that all these oligarchs, these sanctions hang over their head.
15:14It's the worst thing that could happen to them.
15:16Every single one of them is scheming and trying to come up with ways of getting off the sanctions list.
15:20They've now seen these two different things.
15:23One very nasty legal fight against the Luxembourg authorities.
15:27And the second is this whole hostage negotiation with the Azeris.
15:32And these other oligarchs are going to be saying, OK, this is a precedent.
15:36This is something we can do.
15:38The Europeans will blink.
15:40And therefore, we're going to try to use these same things to get off the sanctions list.
15:45Now, there is one saving grace in the whole situation, which is that the current sanctions list has now been
15:51renewed for three years,
15:53which means that there's a bit of time, three years of time, before we come up with another one of
15:59these moments of weakness.
16:01But it really is a terrible thing at the same time that we have Russia bombing civilians on a daily
16:09basis in Kiev and other cities around Ukraine.
16:11Well, that's the thing. And you know Russia well.
16:13You know how Putin ticks. Do you think he's feeling any pressure from his inner circle?
16:21Putin doesn't feel pressure from anything at the moment.
16:25The only the only way that that this war will stop is not because people inside Russia are going to
16:31put pressure on him.
16:32There's no politics. There's no civil society.
16:34The way that this war will stop is if Ukraine inflicts enough economic damage on Russia that they cannot afford
16:41to continue this war.
16:43And the only way that's possible is if the West continues to support Ukraine militarily and if the West were
16:50to get tough on Russia as far as oil sanctions.
16:53We haven't done that yet. And we give Russia, I say we give Ukraine enough to fend off Russia to
17:01some extent, but not not to the extent necessary to get Putin to back down.
17:04So would you argue, Bill, the sanctions, the sanctions are just not working because, as you say, the war is
17:09still very much ongoing.
17:10Ukraine facing its fifth winter of war and it's actually worse than ever.
17:17Well, I'm not saying the sanctions aren't working.
17:19I'm saying sanctions are certainly putting pressure on Putin.
17:22But Putin is ready to starve his whole country completely in order to keep the war going.
17:29If the war were to stop, Putin would effectively lose power.
17:33And if he loses power, he would lose his life.
17:36And so he's ready to make unbelievable sacrifices.
17:38But at the same time, the sanctions are working in the sense that it's grinding Russia down, is causing Russia
17:44economic damage.
17:46We're seeing the refining capacity of Russia decline by somewhere between 20 and 40 percent.
17:52We're seeing inflation going up.
17:55We're seeing all sorts of stuff.
17:56But but at the at the end of the day, sanctions aren't stopping the war because Putin is ready to
18:02suck up his gut and and and and deal with the pressure.
18:06And so what I'm saying is that there should be more sanctions, not not less sanctions in order to try
18:12to put put Putin in a position where he just can't physically afford to carry on the war.
18:18And just finally, Bill, you find yourself in Strasbourg at the European Parliament in Strasbourg this morning.
18:22You've been meeting with the likes of Kaya Callas.
18:25Is your message getting through to them?
18:29Well, I'm speaking to I should say I'm pushing on an open door at the European Parliament and and certainly
18:37with with the officials of the European Commission.
18:39I think everybody here believes that that Ukraine should be supported, that Russia is the villain and we need to
18:46do more.
18:47It's it's obviously complicated because we also have these situations like what we just started this conversation with, with France
18:55putting pressure on the European Union to take Usmanov off the sanctions list because of backroom deals.
19:02But but at the end of the day, there's a lot of people here, most people here, almost everybody here
19:06supports Ukraine, which is certainly heartening.
19:10OK, Bill Brighter speaking just there from the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
19:13Thank you so much for joining us.
