01:20Trump administration officials are advocating the nomination of former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban
01:26for the post of UN Secretary General, according to the Wall Street Journal.
01:31The newspaper reports that Orban could be a joint US, Russian and Chinese candidate
01:36and that sources in all three countries have confirmed Trump is backing his bid.
01:42Orban lost power in Hungary's parliamentary election in April
01:45and has only rarely been seen in public ever since.
01:50Welcome to the program. I'm Stefan Grobe.
01:53Israel heads to the polls today in what is already seen as one of its most consequential elections in years.
02:00It's the country's first national vote since the Hamas-led attacks of the 7th of October 2023
02:06and comes after three years of war, growing political divisions
02:11and mounting questions over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership.
02:15But could the outcome reshape not only Israel's political future,
02:19but also the balance of power across the Middle East and its relations with the wider world?
02:25To talk about all this, I'm now joined by our correspondent, Sasha Vakulina.
02:30Good morning, Sasha.
02:31So, is this essentially a referendum on Benjamin Netanyahu?
02:35In a nutshell, yes. But Stefan, let's face it, every election is a referendum to the sitting government
02:41and the sitting Prime Minister. But of course, in Israel, this vote carries particular weight.
02:47Now, covering this election and in the run-up to the vote today,
02:51I've heard every description of this vote from the experts and the politicians in Israel.
02:56They called it pivotal, they called it crucial, they called it the most consequential,
03:00which gives you an idea on how important the vote is, of course,
03:04and what is at stake for Israel, for the region and for the global politics as well.
03:09Now, the turnout is expected to be very high.
03:12Reportedly, at least 70,000 people have flown to Israel to cause their votes from abroad.
03:18So, you have this big anticipation happening.
03:21Netanyahu is, of course, as you said, Israel's longest-serving Prime Minister
03:26and the voters are being asked to assess and to judge on his leadership,
03:30specifically after the Hamas-led attack of the 7th of October, 2023.
03:36And also the wars that have followed afterwards.
03:38Now, Netanyahu, according to the latest polls,
03:41He is in near-neck-and-neck race with former military chief Gadi Azenkot
03:46for the Prime Minister's job.
03:48And now Gadi Azenkot is seen as one of the leaders of this election campaign.
03:54But, you know, for Israel, a lot comes to security, of course.
03:59And for Netanyahu, he will be judged on those aspects.
04:03And, you know, on all these conflicts on multiple fronts for Israeli government,
04:08on its take on Gaza, on its take on Occupied West Bank, and the tensions there.
04:13And, of course, on Lebanon.
04:14And now the Israel and the U.S. war and Iran.
04:18And the possible escalation that we have been hearing over the past couple of days
04:22that it might renew the tensions there.
04:26And then, of course, the investigation that never took place on October 7th.
04:30You mentioned October 7th several times.
04:33Is this date still the defining issue of this election campaign?
04:37Very much so.
04:37Even today, on the voting day, their families,
04:40the people and the families of the October 7th hostages and the victims
04:44are gathering at the so-called hostage square,
04:47what they call vote for accountability.
04:49This is very much a big issue for Israeli society and the voters.
04:52They want to have this independent investigation.
04:56The investigation that did not take place,
04:58because for them it's all about the responsibility and the accountability.
05:01And who is going to be responsible for what is widely seen
05:06as the biggest security failure in Israel's history, Stefan?
05:09We're talking about 1,200 people killed in one day, 251 hostages.
05:14And this is something that Israelis, the voters, do need answers for.
05:19And this is what I discussed with Yossi Mekelberg,
05:21an associate fellow and the professor at Chatham House earlier.
05:25The one demand that unites all the opposition,
05:29and I suspect mainly from the coalition as well,
05:33or those who support the coalition,
05:35it's a state commission of inquiry.
05:38It's impossible in a democracy when such a failure that cost their life,
05:43in one day 1,200 people were kicked,
05:46that there is no state commission, an independent one,
05:49to ask all the right questions,
05:52not only to find who's to blame,
05:54but also how to prevent it in the future.
05:57The more the government rejects the idea,
06:00the more people are suspicious that they have something to hide.
06:04Professor, could the change of government bring,
06:07let's say, a meaningful shift in Israel's policy towards Gaza,
06:12towards the West Bank,
06:13and now also towards the war and the possible escalation of Israel-U.S. war on Iran.
06:20A new government will bring change if it's formed by the opposition parties.
06:27What we'll have to look after a government is forming
06:31is the trajectory in which direction a new government is taking.
06:36When it comes to the Israel democracy,
06:38I think it's a big question whether in parties that represent
06:43a Palestinian citizen of Israel,
06:47only as the Arab parties are going to be included in such a government.
06:53If it cooperates more with the Board of Peace when it comes to Gaza,
06:57negotiate with the Lebanese government on funding security,
07:03but also beyond this arrangement in Lebanon that Israel can withdraw,
07:06there's so many issues.
07:08And, of course, the core issue is the Palestinian issue.
07:11If a two-state solution is not going to happen overnight,
07:15but if we start seeing steps towards,
07:19is the harshness and oppressive nature of the occupation
07:23towards a political solution?
07:26There is growing speculation about the renewed military action against Iran
07:31after the U.S. mid-term elections on the 3rd of November.
07:34How realistic do you see that prospect?
07:37And would a change of government in Israel make any meaningful difference
07:41to this approach?
07:43If there is a new government,
07:45one would expect to reconsider
07:47if the only way to move forward is by using military force.
07:51It's also a week after the election in Israel,
07:59the mid-term in the United States.
08:01And between the two,
08:02it can determine whether the war with Irania resumed or not.
08:07That there is no new government in Israel the day after the election.
08:11It might take weeks and months.
08:13And in the time in between,
08:15Netanyahu is in the government as an interim government
08:19with the same, exactly the same composition of the government.
08:24and at the same time,
08:26they're not elected with all the power including to go to war.
08:30It's making it more volatile and more dangerous.
08:33Do you see Netanyahu trying to push for another attack on Iran
08:38after the U.S. mid-term elections?
08:41I think we're entitled to be suspicious of the real motivation of Netanyahu
08:47because these policies are very much intertwined with this corruption trial
08:52and retaining power.
08:54So creating a crisis is not beyond the realm of possibility,
09:00including with Iran.
09:02At the same time, in such a volatile regions,
09:06such as the Middle East with so many fronts still open,
09:09you can manufacture crisis in different places.
09:15Sascha Vakulina speaking to Yossi Mekkelberg.
09:18Thank you very much.
09:20And now to something completely different.
09:22And for this, we come back to Brussels.
09:24The EU's climate chief, Robke Huckstra,
09:27sat down with our Europe editor, Maria Tadeo,
09:30as the European Commission prepares new rules
09:33requiring member states to put climate resilience plans in place
09:36following a devastating summer of wildfires across Europe.
09:41Let's take a look.
09:42Well, we do congratulate him.
09:44And of course, with any democratically elected government,
09:48we will always work together.
09:50What is true is that with this specific government,
09:54and particularly also myself with Minister Marina da Silva,
09:58we have worked exceptionally well together
09:59in the domain of international climate diplomacy,
10:03in the domain of carbon markets.
10:05And the Brazilians have done a lot of work
10:08in terms of maintaining the rainforest,
10:11which is something that is hugely important for them,
10:14but frankly speaking, for all of us.
10:16And let's talk about today,
10:17because you are presenting a climate package.
10:21We understand it will include also a piece of legislation.
10:24Tell us what's in it
10:26and what differences is going to make.
10:28Because obviously, if you connect the dots,
10:29this is, I presume,
10:30coming largely in response to the major wildfires.
10:32Maybe you need first about that.
10:34Why?
10:35Because this was an absolutely horrible summer
10:38with dramatic impact in terms of people who have lost their lives,
10:43in terms of livelihoods being destroyed,
10:45houses being demolished,
10:47and areas just have been burned down.
10:50And the economic impact has been north of 100 billion.
10:54And yet, even though this was the hottest ever,
10:57if you and I look back in, let's say, another 10 years,
11:00it probably will have been the coolest of the upcoming decade.
11:04So there's a huge imperative to not only continue with mitigation,
11:08electrification,
11:09but also stand on that other lack of resilience and adaptation.
11:13And to that point, what are you going to be presenting?
11:15In just a few hours from now,
11:16what are you going to be presenting?
11:17We're also going to come up with legislation
11:19where we make it mandatory to point out in your government,
11:24whether it is local, regional, or national,
11:26who is responsible.
11:27That's a new element in this package.
11:29Indeed.
11:30And the last thing you would want as a citizen
11:33after your area or your house has been demolished
11:37because of a wildfire or a flood,
11:40is see politicians, you know,
11:41who are fighting about who actually was responsible.
11:44How are you going to enforce that?
11:46Because one of the things that we saw over the summer
11:47was a lot of political bickering.
11:49Because we're putting this into legislation.
11:51And how do you enforce it?
11:52It is exactly because of what you were just saying,
11:54that this is one of the things that has gone wrong in the past
11:58that we're going to change it.
11:59I'll give you another element that we're changing also in the legislation.
12:02We want to make sure that the climate scenarios are being taken into account
12:08when you build a new bridge or a new neighborhood or a new road.
12:14Because it matters if you prepare for the climate as it used to be 10 years ago
12:19or whether you prep for what is ahead of us.
12:23But will you have a reference number?
12:25Are you looking at, is it a two degrees?
12:28Is it a three degrees?
12:29What does this number look like?
12:31If you're looking for a reference number, it would be the three.
12:34Okay.
12:34Three degrees.
12:35Even though we do want to make sure we're also flexible
12:39because no one knows exactly what the future holds.
12:44And whatever we do, we're going to base it on the best available side.
12:48What about the money?
12:49Where is this adaptation?
12:50How do you finance it?
12:51Because I hear also the European Parliament tax the energy companies.
12:55They are making a killer out of energy prices going up.
12:59Put a windfall tax as soon as possible.
13:01They should pay.
13:02Should they pay?
13:05Complicated question.
13:06And it is something that national governments can already do.
13:09But are you in favor?
13:10What I'm in favor is doing something that works.
13:14And we know that windfall profits can be hunted down by national governments.
13:19The reality is that at a European level, you can only do that if all 27 agree.
13:24and we're not there yet.
13:29Maria Thaddeus speaking to EU Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra.
13:34Now, Hungary's former Prime Minister Viktor Orban might be in the running for the top job
13:39with the United Nations, at least according to the Wall Street Journal.
13:43The U.S. newspaper reported that Washington is floating the idea of nominating Orban
13:48for the post of UN Secretary General with the support of Russia and China.
13:54Our Hungary correspondent, Sandor Szyrosz, is joining me in the studio now to discuss this story.
14:00Good morning, Sandor.
14:01Good morning, Stefan.
14:01So, what the heck is going on here?
14:03When I first heard about it yesterday, I thought it was a joke.
14:07Well, me too, actually.
14:09And it's a quite crazy and surreal story, to be honest.
14:12I was very much surprised yesterday when I first heard it.
14:16Because simply, Orban is one of the most divisive politicians of Europe.
14:21He is very controversial.
14:24He was considered in Europe largely as a troublemaker, not someone who is a bridge builder or who would
14:31make consensus.
14:33But this story is not completely without logic, I would say.
14:37Because, you know, Orban had very close ties to Trump, to Putin, to Xi Jinping.
14:41So, I could imagine these three major powers supporting him for the candidacy.
14:48And there is an additional element, because, you know, the current Hungarian authorities are
14:53going after very hardly former Orban-era politicians related to corruption issues.
15:00Two former Orban-era ministers are jailed now for fraud and corruption.
15:04Also, the former governor of the Hungarian National Bank is jailed now for fraud.
15:12And, you know, many people are speculating maybe Orban is next.
15:16So, the thinking might be that with a top UN job, he might get immunity, diplomatic immunity,
15:22which might be very handy for him.
15:25And, honestly, after this huge electoral defeat in Hungary this April, he is, according
15:31to many people inside his Fidesz party, he is looking for a way out from the Hungarian politics.
15:38So, this could be eventually a way forward for him.
15:41Yeah, I see where this is going.
15:43I mean, my question is, is there a real chance he could end up with a top job?
15:49Well, that's a very good question.
15:50Honestly, I don't think so, but we will have to see.
15:53Nevertheless, one diplomat talking to the Wall Street Journal said that, you know,
15:59this idea sounds crazy, but when these three superpowers are lining up behind somebody,
16:06then this candidate could have a good chance.
16:09We will have to see.
16:10But on the substance, how this process will go, all of the permanent members of the UN's National Security Council
16:19have vetoes.
16:21And I don't see, like, France or the United Kingdom would approve Orbán,
16:27who has a very bad track record when it comes to dealing with those two countries.
16:33So, eventually, we will have to see.
16:35I don't know, but in itself, that if Trump and Xi Jinping and, you know,
16:42Putin is thinking about changing how the UN looks like completely and putting forward the name of Orbán,
16:49who is really a divisive figure, to change the United Nations,
16:55this is a message in itself saying that, okay, we need to get rid of the United Nations as citizens
17:01to do something completely different.
17:04Yeah.
17:05What a story.
17:06But, you know what, Sandor, I think you and I should be considered first here.
17:09Well, I would go for you.
17:12Thank you very much, Sandor, for your reporting.
17:15And that's it for today.
17:16Thank you for watching.
17:18I'm Stefan Grobe, and I see you tomorrow.
17:23We'll be right back.
17:56We'll be right back.
18:31We'll be right back.
18:56We'll be right back.
19:30We'll be right back.
19:51We'll be right back.
19:53We'll be right back.
19:55We'll be right back.
19:57We'll be right back.
19:57We'll be right back.
19:59We'll be right back.
19:59We'll be right back.
20:00We'll be right back.
20:00شكرا
