00:12Good morning, it's Thursday, October 29th.
00:16You're watching Euronews and this is Europe Today.
00:20Our top stories.
00:22At least 68 people were killed and more than 100 others injured
00:26when two high-speed trains collided south of Madrid yesterday
00:29in one of Spain's deadliest rail disasters.
00:33The accident occurred near Urda in the province of Toledo
00:36on a straight section of track with good visibility.
00:39Early indications point to human error.
00:42The tragedy comes just nine months after another collision
00:45involving two high-speed trains in southern Spain
00:48that killed 46 people in January,
00:51raising serious concerns about rail safety in the country.
00:55Montreal is the host city of what one Brussels official
00:58called one of the most important summits
01:01the European Union ever held.
01:03The EU-Canada summit today and tomorrow
01:05is set to pave the way for an ever broader
01:08and deeper political partnership.
01:10Leaders are expected to launch an alliance for the future,
01:13a framework for shared prosperity and economic security
01:17underpinned by concrete new initiatives
01:19to strengthen people-to-people ties,
01:22deepen economic relations,
01:23and reinforce their joint stance on the global stage.
01:28And, Brazil's defeated presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro
01:32fled to Florida yesterday
01:33after the U.S. State Department said
01:36it would issue visas to him and his family
01:38following his loss to President Lula da Silva
01:41in Sunday's run-off election.
01:43Bolsonaro, who received tacit support
01:45from U.S. President Donald Trump,
01:47is under investigation in Brazil
01:49for alleged corruption,
01:51money laundering, and tax evasion
01:53and was ordered not to leave the country.
01:56He has denied any wrongdoing.
01:58Welcome to the program.
02:00I am Stefan Grober.
02:02But first, the horrible train crash
02:04that shook Spain yesterday.
02:06Madrid has declared three days of national mourning
02:09after the tragedy that killed more than 68 people
02:12and injured over 100.
02:14Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez,
02:16who is in the midst of an election campaign,
02:18has called for an independent probe
02:20into the circumstances leading to the fatal crash,
02:23the second major collision in just nine months.
02:27Early indications point to human error
02:29as the government faces questions
02:31over its handling of the crisis.
02:33For more on this,
02:34let's bring in our correspondent,
02:36Rafael Salido,
02:37who is in front of the hospital of Toledo.
02:40Good morning, Rafael.
02:41So what's the latest?
02:43What can you tell us?
02:46Good morning.
02:48So rescue work,
02:50rescue operations have continued
02:52throughout the night here
02:53in the outskirts of Toledo,
02:56in Urda,
02:58with canine units
03:00and drone teams
03:01expected to join this morning
03:02in the search of,
03:04hopefully,
03:05possible victims
03:06that may still be alive.
03:08As for the numbers,
03:09there hasn't been any big changes there.
03:11We're still working
03:14with a confirmed number
03:16of 68 people who died
03:18and over 100 people
03:19who got injured,
03:2018 of them
03:21severely injured.
03:23Among them was
03:24a former secretary
03:29of the government,
03:31Fatima Báñez.
03:32But that's so far
03:33all that is new today.
03:37Will this tragedy
03:39affect the ongoing
03:40election campaign?
03:43Oh, yes.
03:45Surely,
03:46it's going to have an impact.
03:47As you know,
03:48we are holding,
03:49Spain is holding
03:50general elections
03:52on November the 29th,
03:54so it's one month away.
03:56Yesterday,
03:57Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez
03:59came to the place
04:00where the accident took place
04:02and he promised
04:03there will be accountability.
04:05However,
04:06there's already people
04:08calling for the resignation
04:09of the transportation secretary,
04:11Oscar Puente,
04:12and parties from the opposition
04:15are demanding
04:15full accountability.
04:18This may become
04:19a huge liability
04:21for Prime Minister Sánchez
04:24just weeks ahead
04:26of the election.
04:27So,
04:28he has made a commitment
04:30to find whomever
04:32was responsible
04:33and he has even
04:35talked about the possibility
04:37if the maintenance
04:38was the issue,
04:39which would point
04:41directly to a responsibility
04:43from the government.
04:44He's willing
04:45to renew
04:46the whole
04:47truck system
04:48in Spain,
04:48which would be
04:49a humongous task.
04:51All right,
04:52Rafael Salido,
04:54live from Toledo,
04:55thank you very much.
04:57EU Commission
04:58President Ursula von der Leyen
04:59and EU Council
05:00President Antonio Costa
05:02have landed
05:02in Montreal
05:03to attend
05:04the highly anticipated
05:05EU Canada Summit
05:06with Prime Minister
05:07Mark Carney.
05:08Brussels wants
05:09to expand
05:10the relation
05:11and make Canada
05:11its closest
05:12non-European ally.
05:14Joining me now
05:15is our political
05:16correspondent
05:16Jorge Liborero,
05:17who once lived
05:18in Montreal
05:19himself.
05:21Jorge,
05:21good morning.
05:22This summit
05:23couldn't really be understood
05:24without Donald Trump.
05:26Now,
05:26how long
05:26is the shadow
05:28of the US President
05:29really?
05:29The European Union
05:30and Canada
05:31are bound
05:32by the same trauma,
05:33Donald Trump.
05:34Both have been
05:35the target
05:35of his tariffs,
05:37his demands,
05:37his attacks
05:38and even
05:38his threats
05:39of annexation.
05:40So they have found
05:41comfort in each other.
05:43This has been
05:44particularly acute
05:45for Canada
05:46because its relation
05:47with the United States,
05:48its biggest trading partner,
05:50has absolutely collapsed.
05:51We have seen
05:52Prime Minister Mark Carney
05:53travelling around the world,
05:55desperately looking
05:56for new partners,
05:57and the European Union
05:58with its huge
05:59single market
06:00and its democratic values
06:02is the perfect option.
06:03So in the run-up
06:05of the summit,
06:06the headline-making
06:08issue
06:08was the
06:09associate membership
06:10of Canada.
06:12That was
06:13eventually
06:14shot down
06:14by a couple
06:15of member states.
06:17What happened?
06:18Look,
06:18we need to go back
06:19last month.
06:20Ursula von der Leyen
06:21delivers her
06:22State of the Union
06:23speech in Strasbourg
06:24and all of a sudden
06:25she introduces
06:26this idea
06:26of making Canada
06:27the first ever
06:29associate member
06:30of the European Union
06:31in front of Mark Carney.
06:33Everybody's surprised
06:34and everybody's confused.
06:36Member states
06:36have a lot of questions
06:37about what this concept
06:38means in practice
06:39and they're also
06:41a bit resentful
06:42about the fact
06:42that von der Leyen
06:43did not consult
06:44with them
06:45before making
06:45this announcement.
06:47So what happened
06:47this week
06:48is that Germany
06:49led a push
06:50to basically
06:50kill the concept
06:52and any mention
06:53of associate membership
06:55has been deleted
06:56from the joint declaration
06:59and now we only see
07:01an ever closer
07:02association
07:03which is very different.
07:05But how much
07:06of a defeat
07:06is this for
07:07von der Leyen
07:08I mean
07:08what's in a name
07:09right?
07:10Yes
07:10I think it's
07:11a personal defeat
07:12for her
07:12because she was
07:13fully invested
07:14in this concept
07:15she believes
07:16it's an opportunity
07:18to create
07:18a brand new
07:19geopolitical concept
07:21to export our appeal
07:22and our influence
07:23abroad
07:24and she's convinced
07:25that it's the right
07:26thing to do
07:26so this makes me think
07:28that she's not going
07:29to give it up
07:30just yet
07:31in fact
07:31yesterday
07:32just as she
07:33landed in Montreal
07:34she once again
07:35tweeted about
07:36the need
07:37the ambition
07:37of making Canada
07:38an associate member
07:40so for now
07:41let me tell you
07:42she's determined
07:43to make it happen.
07:44All right
07:45Jorge Edibor
07:46ex-inhabitant
07:48of Montreal
07:48thank you very much.
07:50But just days
07:51before the midterm
07:52elections in the
07:53United States
07:53President Donald Trump
07:55is stoking
07:55the fire of distrust
07:57in an echo
07:57of his ongoing
07:59conspiracy theories
08:00about the 2020 election.
08:02He promised
08:03with unclear
08:04legal authority
08:05to pay
08:06one million dollars
08:07to anyone
08:08who exposes
08:09election fraud
08:10that leads
08:10to a criminal conviction.
08:12It's a series
08:13of tactics
08:14that experts say
08:15is less about
08:16law enforcement
08:17than about messaging
08:18pre-spinning
08:20likely Republican losses
08:21and driving up
08:22public doubts
08:23about the results.
08:24should America
08:25be prepared
08:26for an avalanche
08:27of lawsuits
08:28attacking
08:28Democratic victories
08:29as Trump
08:30has promised?
08:31Earlier I put
08:32this question
08:33to Alan Lichtman
08:34historian
08:34and one of the
08:35country's best
08:36known political
08:37analysts
08:38from American
08:39University
08:39in Washington.
08:40Here's what he said.
08:42Americans should
08:43be very much
08:44prepared
08:45for Trump
08:46if as expected
08:47his party
08:48loses this
08:48midterm election
08:49to try to
08:50overturn the results
08:52by any means
08:53at his disposal
08:54including lawsuits
08:56and avalanche
08:57but remember
08:58he lost
08:58every significant
09:00lawsuit
09:01more than 60
09:02of them
09:02last time
09:03after the 2020
09:04election
09:05including some
09:06before judges
09:07appointed
09:08by Trump
09:09himself.
09:10So Trump
09:11Trump's approval
09:12ratings
09:13have hit
09:14record lows
09:14and Democratic
09:15enthusiasm
09:16levels
09:17are off
09:18the charts.
09:19do you expect
09:20a really big
09:21night for
09:21Democrats?
09:23Well it's always
09:23perilous to predict
09:24midterm elections
09:25I have a system
09:26for presidential
09:27elections
09:28not midterms
09:29but you're right
09:29when an approval
09:30rating for a
09:31president is this
09:32low
09:32historically
09:33they lose
09:35about 40
09:36House seats
09:37and 6
09:38Senate seats
09:38that's an average
09:39not a prediction
09:41How much of the
09:42current Democratic
09:43polling lead
09:44is due to the
09:45unpopularity
09:46of Trump
09:47and how much
09:48to Democratic
09:49policies?
09:50I think it's
09:51mostly due to
09:52the unpopularity
09:54of Trump
09:55the Democratic
09:55lead
09:56in polling
09:57midterm elections
09:59are the one
10:00chance
10:00voters have
10:01to register
10:02approval
10:03or disapproval
10:04of a sitting
10:05president
10:05and his
10:07administration
10:07and the truth
10:08is
10:09for candidates
10:10of the
10:10president's
10:11party
10:11no matter
10:12how hard
10:13you try
10:13you can't
10:15run away
10:15from the
10:16president
10:16and Democrats
10:18you know
10:18I've been
10:19criticizing them
10:20for years
10:20they really
10:21have not
10:22developed
10:22and they
10:23could and
10:24should
10:24a compelling
10:25message
10:25for their
10:26policies
10:27and ideas
10:28and what
10:30would be
10:30Trump's
10:30political
10:31agenda
10:31for his
10:32remaining
10:32two years
10:33in office
10:34following the
10:35midterms
10:35well you know
10:37Trump never
10:38really has
10:38had a
10:39legislative
10:39agenda
10:40he governs
10:41you know
10:42as an
10:43aspiring
10:43authoritarian
10:44he governs
10:46by executive
10:47order
10:47essentially
10:48bypassing
10:50the
10:50legislature
10:50he only
10:51had one
10:51big
10:52legislative
10:52victory
10:53his tax
10:54and spending
10:55bill
10:55so I
10:56expect
10:57he will
10:57govern
10:58once again
10:59by executive
11:00order
11:00perhaps even
11:01more aggressively
11:02if in fact
11:03the House
11:04and the Senate
11:05or either
11:05one of them
11:06turns democratic
11:07so when I
11:08talk to the
11:09pundits
11:09the strategists
11:10the observers
11:12they tell me
11:13that Trump
11:15over the last
11:15two years
11:16of his term
11:16will be
11:17occupied
11:17by
11:18you know
11:20subpoenas
11:21and lawsuits
11:22etc
11:22and the
11:23Iran war
11:24do you
11:25share that
11:25no question
11:27Democrats
11:27will
11:28investigate
11:29investigate
11:30investigate
11:30the Iran
11:31war
11:31the corruption
11:32the grifting
11:33the revenge
11:34tours
11:34but
11:35none of
11:36that is
11:37going to
11:37stop
11:37Trump
11:38because
11:38he doesn't
11:39care
11:40you can't
11:41shame
11:41Donald Trump
11:42you can try
11:43impeaching him
11:44that hasn't
11:45worked before
11:45in the Senate
11:46he's been
11:47acquitted
11:47it won't
11:47work again
11:51US historian

11:55Ukrainian
11:57President Zelensky
11:58says his
11:58country is still
11:59waiting for the
12:00Pentagon to
12:00sign off on

12:02patriot

12:03while Russia
12:04continues
12:04to pound
12:05Kiev
12:05with ballistic
12:06missiles
12:07Ukraine
12:07receives
12:08patriot
12:08systems
12:09from a
12:09special
12:10mechanism
12:10at NATO
12:11where allies
12:12purchase
12:12US-made
12:13weapons
12:13to transfer
12:14to Ukraine
12:15for the
12:15war
12:15but lately
12:16confusion
12:17reigns as
12:18to what
12:18exactly
12:18is happening
12:19and more
12:20importantly
12:20when will
12:21Ukraine
12:21receive
12:22the
12:22patriots
12:23let's
12:23make sense
12:24of all
12:24this
12:24with our
12:24NATO
12:25correspondent
12:25Shona
12:26Murray
12:26here on
12:27the set
12:27good morning
12:28Shona
12:28so I guess
12:29the basic
12:30question is
12:31why is
12:31Ukraine
12:32so reliant
12:32on these
12:33patriots
12:34well quite
12:34frankly
12:34because the
12:35PAC-3
12:35patriot
12:36system
12:36is the
12:36most advanced
12:37technology
12:38to intercept
12:38the Russian
12:39ballistic
12:39missiles
12:40that are
12:40raining down
12:40on Kiev
12:41Europeans
12:42don't have
12:42anything
12:43comparable
12:43but these
12:44are very
12:45complex
12:45systems
12:46they cost
12:47about
12:474 million
12:48dollars
12:48for one
12:49of the
12:49missiles
12:50and they
12:51can cost
12:51a billion
12:52dollars
12:53just for
12:53the whole
12:53system
12:54itself
12:54and the
12:55problem
12:55is there's
12:56a global
12:56shortage
12:56because the
12:57United States
12:57has burned
12:58through its
12:59stockpiles
12:59because of
13:00the war
13:00in Iran
13:00and why
13:01is Washington
13:02delaying them
13:03well that is
13:03the key
13:04question
13:04nobody knows
13:04exactly why
13:05this is
13:05happening
13:06some people
13:06believe that
13:07maybe it's
13:07about resuming
13:08the war
13:08in Iran
13:09the United
13:09States
13:09needs its
13:10stockpiles
13:10but others
13:11are saying
13:12that perhaps
13:12that the
13:13United States
13:14is trying to
13:14pressurize
13:15President Zelensky
13:16as we know
13:16into stopping
13:17attacking Russian
13:18diesel
13:19refineries
13:20head of the
13:21US midterms
13:22where we know
13:22the United States
13:23President Donald
13:23Trump is not
13:24doing so well
13:25in the polls
13:25so I caught up
13:26with former
13:27US Ambassador
13:27to NATO
13:28Kurt Volker
13:28who believes
13:29that this
13:29may be the
13:30case
13:31President Trump
13:32is seeing
13:33what everyone
13:33is seeing
13:34that it's
13:34going to go
13:35very very
13:35badly
13:36for the
13:36Republicans
13:37certainly
13:38losing the
13:39House of
13:39Representatives
13:40probably also
13:41losing the
13:41Senate at this
13:42stage is the
13:42way it looks
13:43although you
13:44never know
13:44and he
13:47wants to be
13:47seen to be
13:48doing something
13:49about the
13:50issues that
13:51are making
13:52voters unhappy
13:53one of them
13:54is the price
13:55of diesel
13:56and that
13:57particularly
13:57affects
13:58farmers
13:58mid-state
13:59red state
14:00voters
14:00in the
14:01Midwest
14:01in the
14:01United
14:01States
14:02so he
14:02wants to
14:02be seen
14:03to be
14:03doing
14:03something
14:04about that
14:04so he
14:05thought it
14:05would be a
14:05great story
14:06for him to
14:07be able to
14:08say I've got
14:09Vladimir Putin
14:09giving us
14:10diesel and I've
14:12got Zelensky to
14:12stop attacking the
14:13refineries so I'm
14:14fighting for you
14:15I'm on your
14:16side
14:16the problem
14:18the problem
14:18with that
14:18is it is an
14:20insignificant
14:20amount of
14:21diesel
14:22it won't do
14:23anything to
14:24US or global
14:25prices
14:28all right
14:29Sean and
14:29Mari thanks for
14:30breaking it all
14:30down for us
14:31and now to the
14:32energy crisis
14:33the European
14:34Commission is
14:35treating the
14:35loss of
14:36refining capacity
14:37as a
14:37vulnerability
14:38that Europe
14:39can no longer
14:40afford to
14:40ignore
14:41Energy
14:42Commissioner
14:42Dan Jorgensen
14:43warned that the
14:44prolonged war in
14:45the Middle East
14:45should serve as
14:46a wake-up call
14:47the EU should
14:48ensure that there
14:49is an adequate
14:50refining capacity
14:51at home he said
14:53this morning came
14:54as the prices for
14:55crude oil and
14:56diesel rose across
14:57the board yesterday
14:58markets reacted to
14:59reports that the
15:00US is preparing to
15:02renew strikes against
15:03Iran after the
15:04midterm elections
15:05to discuss the
15:06latest developments
15:07I'm now joined by
15:08Osama Rizvi
15:09global markets and
15:10product strategist at
15:11primary vision in
15:13Lahore
15:13good morning to
15:14you
15:15good morning to
15:16you as well
15:17Stefan I'm in
15:17UAE at the
15:18moment right now
15:18wonderful so
15:20oil diesel and
15:22gas prices are
15:23all up again
15:24are we witnessing
15:25another temporary
15:26market panic or
15:27the beginning of a
15:28much bigger energy
15:29crisis
15:31well it has never
15:32been a temporary
15:34since the start of
15:34the war actually
15:35whatever you see
15:36right now is a
15:37long extension and
15:39or rather something
15:40that has become a
15:41structural feature
15:42characteristic of the
15:43market
15:43whether the war
15:44restarts or not
15:45whether there is an
15:45escalation or not
15:46it is going to take
15:48some months for the
15:50supplies to restore
15:51and hence for the
15:52refiners to get what
15:53they want and hence
15:54for the prices to come
15:55down and consumers to
15:56feel okay so this is a
15:57structural baked in
15:58factor unfortunately
15:59and we'll have to
16:00suffer from it from the
16:01next 7 to 12 months
16:03minimum
16:04why are especially
16:05diesel prices rising
16:06so sharply is there
16:07something fundamentally
16:09wrong with the global
16:10market for refined fuels
16:11well diesel above all the
16:16fuels is really central to
16:19the global economy up
16:20country movement down
16:21country movement
16:22agriculture farmers all of
16:24them food transportation
16:25they use diesel as a
16:27feedstock right so diesel has
16:29low stocks already
16:31globally then we discussed
16:33it last time last time as
16:34well lots of refineries are
16:35closing down 1.5 million
16:37barrels of refined products
16:39going down as well in
16:40Europe 10 to 15 percent of
16:42refining capacity has been
16:44disrupted in the previous
16:45few years so all of that
16:46had culminated into what is
16:49called a diesel crisis and
16:50many analysts are I'm also
16:52on the verge of declaring
16:53this this war is actually a
16:54diesel war it's becoming a
16:55diesel war and that is
16:57going to choke the global
16:58economy if it gets worse
16:59and Europe seems particularly
17:04exposed to the diesel crunch
17:06and the comments of
17:08Commissioner Juergens and its
17:10testament to that why is the
17:12continent still so vulnerable
17:14to disruptions in global fuel
17:17surprise
17:17well interestingly and you know
17:21Europe has have had some
17:24issues with the policy making
17:25policy direction actually
17:26according to myself the shift
17:29or move for renewables at
17:32times we saw that triumphed
17:33the realities of the energy
17:35security and hence we are
17:37what we are seeing right now
17:38is that there is a crisis of
17:39refining there is a crisis of
17:41diesel production plus diesel
17:43reserves moving forward I
17:45think it will really benefit
17:47not only Europe but also the
17:48world and this is happening
17:49east of Suez actually that
17:51there needs to be a refining
17:53you know revolution in the
17:55world more refineries spread
17:57across the world so that they
17:59don't become vulnerable to such
18:00geopolitical crisis and
18:03Osama if tensions in the
18:05Middle East ease tomorrow how
18:08quickly would oil and diesel
18:09prices actually fall I don't
18:12think it is going to be very
18:14quickly the crude oil prices yes
18:15they can fall we have seen some
18:17restoration of both the flows
18:19through Hormuz and the
18:20production facilities in the
18:21Gulf so that is one thing
18:23however that reaching to the
18:25refineries will still involve a
18:26lot of a high transportation cost
18:29three dollars of transportation
18:31cost before the war now it costs
18:34around twenty dollars to
18:35transport the same boat so it is
18:36going to take three to five
18:38months for this to die down and
18:42the dust to settle down so well
18:43into next year then definitely
18:47all right Osama Rizvi as always
18:49thank you for your analysis and
18:52that's all for today thank you for
18:54watching I'm Stefan Grobe and I see
