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 for alleged corruption,
01:51money laundering, and tax evasion,
01:53and was ordered not to leave the country.
01:56He has denied any wrongdoing.
01:59Welcome 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.
02:39Good morning, Rafael.
02:41So, what's the latest?
02:43What can you tell us?
02:46Good morning.
02:48So, rescue work, rescue operations
02:51have continued throughout the night
02:53here in the outskirts of Toledo, in Urda,
02:58with canine units and drone teams
03:01expected to join this morning
03:02in the search of, hopefully,
03:05possible victims that may still be alive.
03:08As for the numbers,
03:09there hasn't been any big changes there.
03:12We're still working with a confirmed number
03:16of 68 people who died
03:18and over 100 people who got injured,
03:2018 of them severely injured.
03:23Among them was a former secretary of the government,
03:31Fatima Báñez.
03:32But that's, so far,
03:33all that is new today.
03:38Will this tragedy affect
03:39the ongoing election campaign?
03:43Oh, yes.
03:45Surely, it's going to have an impact.
03:47As you know, we are holding...
03:49Spain is holding general elections
03:52on November the 29th.
03:54So, it's one month away.
03:57Yesterday, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez
03:59came to the place where the accident took place
04:02and he promised there will be accountability.
04:05However, there's already people calling
04:08for the resignation of the transportation secretary,
04:11Oscar Puente,
04:12and parties from the opposition
04:15are demanding full accountability.
04:18This may become a huge liability
04:21for Prime Minister Sánchez
04:24just weeks ahead of the election.
04:27So, he has made a commitment
04:30to find whomever was responsible
04:33and he has even talked about the possibility
04:37if the maintenance was the issue,
04:40which would point directly
04:42to a responsibility from the government,
04:44he's willing to renew the whole truck system
04:48in Spain,
04:49which would be a humongous task.
04:52All right.
04:52Rafael Salido, live from Toledo,
04:55thank you very much.
04:57EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen
04:59and EU Council President Antonio Costa
05:02have landed in Montreal
05:03to attend the highly anticipated
05:05EU-Canada summit
05:06with Prime Minister Mark Carney.
05:08Brussels wants to expand the relation
05:11and make Canada its closest
05:12non-European ally.
05:14Joining me now is our political correspondent,
05:16Jorge Liborero,
05:17who once lived in Montreal himself.
05:21Jorge, good morning.
05:22This summit couldn't really be understood
05:24without Donald Trump.
05:26Now, how long is the shadow
05:28of the US president, really?
05:29The European Union and Canada
05:31are bound by the same trauma, Donald Trump.
05:34Both have been the target of his tariffs,
05:37his demands, his attacks,
05:38and even his threats of annexation.
05:40So, they have found comfort in each other.
05:43This has been particularly acute for Canada
05:46because its relation with the United States,
05:48its biggest trading partner,
05:50has absolutely collapsed.
05:51We have seen Prime Minister Mark Carney
05:53travelling around the world,
05:55desperately looking for new partners,
05:57and the European Union,
05:59with its huge single market
06:00and its democratic values,
06:02is the perfect option.
06:03So, in the run-up of the summit,
06:06the headline-making issue
06:08was the associate membership of Canada.
06:12That was eventually shot down
06:14by a couple of member states.
06:17What happened?
06:18Look, we need to go back last month.
06:20Ursula von der Leyen
06:21delivers her State of the Union speech
06:23in Strasbourg,
06:24and all of a sudden,
06:25she introduces this idea
06:26of making Canada
06:27the first ever associate member
06:30of the European Union
06:31in front of Mark Carney.
06:33Everybody's surprised,
06:34and everybody's confused.
06:36Member states have a lot of questions
06:37about what this concept means in practice,
06:40and they're also a bit resentful
06:42about the fact that von der Leyen
06:43did not consult with them
06:45before making this announcement.
06:47So, what happened this week
06:48is that Germany led a push
06:50to basically kill the concept,
06:52and any mention of associate membership
06:55has been deleted
06:56from the joint declaration,
06:59and now we only see
07:01an ever-closer association,
07:03which is very different.
07:05But how much of a defeat
07:06is this for Fonda?
07:08I mean, what's in a name, right?
07:10Yes, I think it's
07:11a personal defeat for her
07:12because she was fully invested
07:14in this concept.
07:15She believes it's an opportunity
07:18to create a brand-new
07:19geopolitical concept
07:21to export our appeal
07:22and our influence abroad,
07:24and she's convinced
07:25that it's the right thing to do.
07:27So, this makes me think
07:28that she's not going
07:29to give it up just yet.
07:31In fact, yesterday,
07:32just as she landed in Montreal,
07:34she once again tweeted
07:35about the need,
07:37the ambition of making Canada
07:38an associate member.
07:40So, for now, let me tell you,
07:42she's determined to make it happen.
07:45All right, Jorge Ediborio,
07:46ex-inhabitant of Montreal.
07:48Thank you very much.
07:50Well, just days before
07:51the midterm elections
07:52in the United States,
07:53President Donald Trump
07:55is stoking the fire of distrust
07:57in an echo of his ongoing
07:59conspiracy theories
08:00about the 2020 election.
08:02He promised,
08:03with unclear legal authority,
08:05to pay $1 million
08:07to anyone who exposes
08:09election fraud
08:10that leads to a criminal conviction.
08:12It's a series of tactics
08:14that experts say
08:15is less about law enforcement
08:17than about messaging,
08:19pre-spinning likely Republican losses
08:21and driving up public doubts
08:23about the results.
08:24Should America be prepared
08:26for an avalanche of lawsuits
08:28attacking Democratic victories,
08:30as Trump has promised?
08:31Earlier, I put discretion
08:33to Alan Lichtman,
08:34historian and one of the country's
08:36best-known political analysts
08:38from American University
08:39in Washington.
08:40Here's what he said.
08:42Americans should be
08:43very much prepared
08:45for Trump,
08:46if, as expected,
08:47his party loses
08:48this midterm election
08:49to try to overturn
08:51the results
08:52by any means
08:53at his disposal,
08:54including lawsuits
08:56and avalanche.
08:57But remember,
08:58he lost every
08:59significant lawsuit,
09:01more than 60 of them,
09:02last time
09:03after the 2020 election,
09:05including some
09:06before judges
09:07appointed by Trump himself.
09:10So Trump's
09:12approval ratings
09:13have hit record lows
09:14and Democratic enthusiasm
09:16levels are off the charts.
09:19Do you expect
09:20a really big night
09:21for Democrats?
09:22Well, it's always perilous
09:24to predict midterm elections.
09:25I have a system
09:26for presidential elections,
09:28not midterms.
09:29But you're right.
09:30When an approval rating
09:31for a president
09:32is this low,
09:33historically,
09:34they lose about 40
09:36House seats
09:37and six Senate seats.
09:38That's an average,
09:40not a prediction.
09:41How much of the current
09:42Democratic polling lead
09:44is due to the
09:45unpopularity of Trump
09:47and how much
09:48to Democratic policies?
09:50I think it's mostly
09:52due to the unpopularity
09:54of Trump,
09:55the Democratic lead
09:56in polling.
09:58Midterm elections
09:59are the one chance
10:00voters have
10:01to register approval
10:03or disapproval
10:04of a sitting president
10:05and his administration.
10:07And the truth is,
10:09for candidates
10:10of the president's party,
10:11no matter how hard you try,
10:13you can't run away
10:15from the president.
10:17And Democrats,
10:18you know,
10:18I've been criticizing them
10:20for years.
10:21They really have not developed,
10:23and they could and should,
10:24a compelling message
10:25for their policies
10:27and ideas.
10:29And what would be
10:30Trump's political agenda
10:31for his remaining
10:32two years in office
10:34following the midterms?
10:35Well, you know,
10:37Trump never really
10:38has had a legislative agenda.
10:40He governs,
10:42you know,
10:42as an aspiring authoritarian.
10:45He governs
10:46by executive order,
10:48essentially bypassing
10:50the legislature.
10:51He only had one
10:51big legislative victory,
10:53his tax
10:54and spending bill.
10:55So I expect
10:57he will govern
10:58once again
10:59by executive order,
11:00perhaps even more aggressively
11:02if, in fact,
11:03the House
11:04and the Senate
11:05or either one of them
11:06turns democratic.
11:07So when I talk
11:08to the pundits,
11:10the strategists,
11:11the observers,
11:12they tell me
11:13that Trump,
11:15over the last
11:15two years of his term,
11:16will be occupied
11:17by, you know,
11:21subpoenas
11:21and lawsuits,
11:22et cetera,
11:23and the Iran war.
11:24Do you share that?
11:26No question.
11:27Democrats will
11:28investigate,
11:29investigate,
11:30investigate
11:30the Iran war,
11:32the corruption,
11:33the grifting,
11:34the revenge tours.
11:35But none of that
11:36is going to stop Trump
11:38because he doesn't care.
11:40You can't shame
11:41Donald Trump.
11:43You can try impeaching him.
11:44That hasn't worked
11:45before in the Senate.
11:46He's been acquitted.
11:47It won't work again.
11:51U.S. historian
11:53Alan Lichtman
11:53from American University
11:55in Washington.
11:56Ukrainian President
11:57Zelensky says
11:58his country is still
11:59waiting for the Pentagon
12:00to sign off
12:01on defense
12:02patriot interceptors
12:03while Russia
12:04continues to pound
12:05Kiev with ballistic missiles.
12:07Ukraine receives
12:08patriot systems
12:09from a special mechanism
12:10at NATO
12:11where allies
12:12purchase U.S.-made weapons
12:13to transfer to Ukraine
12:15for the war.
12:15But lately
12:16confusion reigns
12:17as to what exactly
12:18is happening
12:19and more importantly
12:20when will Ukraine
12:21receive the patriots?
12:23Let's make sense
12:24of all this
12:24with our NATO correspondent
12:25Shona Murray
12:26here on the set.
12:27Good morning Shona.
12:29So I guess
12:29the basic question is
12:31why is Ukraine
12:32so reliant
12:32on these patriots?
12:34Well quite frankly
12:35because the PAC-3
12:35patriot system
12:36is the most advanced
12:37technology to intercept
12:38the Russian ballistic
12:39missiles that are
12:40raining down on Kiev.
12:42Europeans don't have
12:42anything comparable
12:43but these are
12:44very complex systems.
12:46They cost about
12:47four million dollars
12:48for one of the missiles
12:50and they can cost
12:51a billion dollars
12:53just for the whole
12:53system itself
12:54and the problem is
12:55there's a global shortage
12:56because the United States
12:57has burned through
12:58its stockpiles
12:59because of the war
13:00in Iran.
13:01And why is Washington
13:02delaying them?
13:03Well that is the key question.
13:04Nobody knows exactly
13:05why this is happening.
13:06Some people believe
13:07that maybe it's about
13:08resuming the war
13:08in Iran.
13:09The United States
13:09needs its stockpiles
13:10but others are saying
13:12that perhaps
13:12that the United States
13:14is trying to pressurize
13:15President Zelensky
13:16as we know
13:16into stopping
13:17attacking Russian
13:18diesel refineries
13:20ahead of the US
13:21midterms
13:22where we know
13:22the United States
13:23President Donald Trump
13:24is not doing so well
13:25in the polls.
13:25So I caught up with
13:26former US Ambassador
13:27to NATO Kurt Volker
13:28who believes that
13:29this may be the case.
13:31President Trump
13:32is seeing what
13:33everyone is seeing
13:34that it's going to go
13:35very very badly
13:36for the Republicans
13:37certainly losing
13:38the House of Representatives
13:40probably also losing
13:41the Senate at this stage
13:42is the way it looks
13:43although you never know
13:44and he wants
13:47to be seen
13:48to be doing something
13:49about the issues
13:50that are making
13:52voters unhappy.
13:53One of them
13:54is the price
13:55of diesel
13:56and that particularly
13:57affects farmers
13:58mid-state
13:59red state voters
14:00in the Midwest
14:01in the United States
14:02so he wants to be seen
14:03to be doing something
14:04about that.
14:04So he thought
14:05it would be a great story
14:06for him to be able
14:08to say
14:08I've got Vladimir Putin
14:09giving us diesel
14:10and I've got Zelensky
14:12to stop attacking
14:13the refineries
14:14so I'm fighting for you
14:15I'm on your side.
14:17The problem with that
14:18is it is an insignificant
14:20amount of diesel
14:22it won't do anything
14:23to US or global prices.
14:28All right Sean and Mari
14:29thanks for breaking
14:30it all down for us.
14:31And now to the energy crisis.
14:33The European Commission
14:34is treating the loss
14:35of refining capacity
14:37as a vulnerability
14:38that Europe
14:39can no longer
14:40afford to ignore.
14:41Energy Commissioner
14:42Dan Jorgensen
14:43warned that
14:43the prolonged war
14:44in the Middle East
14:45should serve
14:46as a wake-up call.
14:47The EU should ensure
14:49that there is an adequate
14:50refining capacity
14:51at home
14:52he said.
14:53This warning came
14:54as the prices
14:55for crude oil
14:56and diesel
14:56rose across the board
14:57yesterday.
14:58Markets reacted
14:59to reports
15:00that the US
15:01is preparing
15:01to renew strikes
15:02against Iran
15:03after the midterm elections.
15:05To discuss
15:06the latest developments
15:07I'm now joined
15:08by Osama Rizvi
15:09Global Markets
15:10and Product Strategist
15:11at Primary Vision
15:12in Lahore.
15:13Good morning to you.
15:15Good morning to you
15:16as well Stefan.
15:17I'm in UAE
15:18at the moment right now.
15:19Wonderful.
15:20So oil, diesel
15:21and gas prices
15:23are all up again.
15:24Are we witnessing
15:25another temporary
15:26market panic
15:27or the beginning
15:28of a much bigger
15:29energy crisis?
15:31Well it has never
15:32been temporary
15:34since the start
15:34of the war actually.
15:35Whatever you see
15:36right now
15:36is a long extension
15:38or rather something
15:40that has become
15:40a structural feature
15:42characteristic
15:42of the market.
15:43Whether the war
15:44restarts or not
15:45whether there is
15:45an escalation or not
15:46it is going to take
15:48some months
15:49for the supplies
15:50to restore
15:51and hence
15:52for the refiners
15:53to get what they want
15:54and hence
15:54for the prices
15:55to come down
15:55and consumers
15:56to feel okay.
15:57So this is a
15:58structural
15:58baked in factor
15:59unfortunately
15:59and we'll have
16:00to suffer from it
16:00from the next
16:017-12 months
16:03minimum.
16:03Why are especially
16:05diesel prices
16:06rising so sharply?
16:07Is there something
16:07fundamentally wrong
16:09with the global
16:10market for refined
16:11fuels?
16:13Well diesel
16:14above all the fuels
16:17is really central
16:18to the global economy.
16:20Upcountry movement,
16:21downcountry movement,
16:22agriculture,
16:23farmers,
16:24all of them
16:24food transportation
16:25they use diesel
16:26as a feedstock
16:27right.
16:27So diesel
16:28has low stocks
16:30already
16:31globally
16:32then
16:32we discussed
16:33it last time
16:33as well
16:34lots of refineries
16:35are closing down
16:361.5 million barrels
16:37of refined products
16:39going down as well
16:40in Europe
16:4010-15%
16:42of refinery capacity
16:43has been disrupted
16:44in the previous few years
16:45so all of that
16:46had culminated
16:48into what is called
16:49a diesel crisis
16:50and many analysts
16:51are
16:51I'm also on the verge
16:52of declaring this
16:53this war is actually
16:54a diesel war
16:55it's becoming
16:55a diesel war
16:56and that is going
16:57to choke the global
16:58economy if it gets worse.
17:01And Europe
17:03seems particularly
17:04exposed to the
17:05diesel crunch
17:06and the comments
17:07of Commissioner
17:09Juergensen
17:10its testament to that
17:11why is the continent
17:13still so vulnerable
17:14to disruptions
17:16in global fuel
17:17surprise?
17:18Well
17:19interestingly
17:20and you know
17:21Europe
17:22has
17:23have had some
17:24issues with the
17:24policy making
17:25policy direction
17:26actually according
17:27to myself
17:28the shift
17:29or move
17:30for renewables
17:31at times
17:32we saw that
17:33triumphed
17:33the realities
17:35of the energy
17:35security
17:36and hence
17:37what we are seeing
17:37right now
17:38is that
17:38there is a crisis
17:39of refining
17:40there is a crisis
17:41of diesel
17:41production
17:42plus diesel
17:43reserves
17:44moving forward
17:45I think it will
17:46really benefit
17:47not only Europe
17:48but also the world
17:48and this is happening
17:49east of Suez
17:50actually
17:51that there needs
17:52to be a refining
17:53you know
17:54revolution
17:54in the world
17:55more refineries
17:56spread across
17:57the world
17:58so that they
17:59don't become
17:59vulnerable to
18:00such geopolitical
18:01crisis
18:03and Osama
18:04if tensions
18:05in the Middle East
18:06ease tomorrow
18:07how quickly
18:08would oil
18:09and diesel prices
18:09actually fall?
18:11I don't think
18:12it is going to be
18:13very quickly
18:14the crude oil prices
18:15yes they can fall
18:16we have seen
18:16some restoration
18:17of both
18:18the flows
18:19through Hormuz
18:20and the production
18:20facilities in the Gulf
18:22so that is one thing
18:23however
18:23that reaching
18:24to the refineries
18:25will still involve
18:26a lot of
18:27a high
18:28transportation cost
18:29three dollars
18:30of transportation
18:31cost before
18:32the war
18:33now it costs
18:34around twenty dollars
18:35to transport
18:35the same oil
18:36so it is going
18:36to take
18:37three to five
18:38months
18:39for this to
18:40die down
18:41and the dust
18:42to settle down
18:43so well into
18:44next year then
18:45definitely
18:47all right
