00:15Dzień dobry, jest Friday, 6 November.
00:19Uw. Euronews.
00:21And this is Europe Today.
00:23Uw. Top Stories
00:24Following a modest recovery over the past days, the price of crude oil increased again.
00:30Investors weighed the future course of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran
00:34after President Donald Trump's Republican Party suffered heavy losses in midterm elections this week.
00:40Analysts blamed the still uncertain situation in the region for the higher oil price.
00:45The conflict with Iran, which Trump launched alongside Israel in February,
00:49and the resulting higher fuel prices for U.S. consumers were major grievances for voters in Tuesday's rounds of Republicans.
00:58U.S. First Lady Melania Trump hosted officials from Moscow and Kyiv at the White House yesterday,
01:04ahead of talks in Abu Dhabi aimed at ending the Ukraine war.
01:08The talks would be the first between Ukraine, Russia and the United States since February.
01:13They have revived hopes for peace as Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine grinds through its fifth year.
01:20Last month, Melania Trump had brokered a partial ceasefire that allowed the evacuation of civilians from a Russian-occupied town.
01:27And, Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo announced his retirement from international football.
01:34The 41-year-old is ending a career that spans six World Cups and included a European title and the
01:41men's all-time international scoring record.
01:44Ronaldo is the second global star player within weeks to end his time on the national team,
01:49after long-time peer Lionel Messi finished his career with Argentina last month.
01:54Ronaldo will keep playing at club level in Saudi Arabia.
01:59Welcome to the program, I'm Stefan Grobe.
02:01The U.S. midterm elections are over.
02:04And attention is now turning to Donald Trump's next move in the Middle East.
02:08For weeks, the President has hinted that Washington could resume military strikes against Iran once Americans have voted.
02:15U.S. officials have reportedly warned regional allies to prepare for a possible new wave of attacks and for Iranian
02:23retaliation.
02:24But is military escalation now inevitable, or is there still a diplomatic way out?
02:29And could a renewed confrontation plunge an already volatile region into an even wider war?
02:36For more on this, let's head over to Doha, where our correspondent Adel Halim is standing by for us.
02:41Good morning, Adel.
02:44Good morning, Stefan.
02:46So, how are Gulf countries reacting to the midterms?
02:49Is there still concern about another U.S. attack on Iran?
02:55Well, there's a growing concern here in the Gulf that another major attack on Iran may be coming,
02:59despite U.S. President Donald Trump's major losses in the midterms.
03:03Trump said overnight that he'd rather not destroy the rest of the country, but added that he might have to.
03:08You will see soon enough.
03:10Now, we've heard this kind of language from the U.S. President before, often used to pressure Iran into making
03:16concessions.
03:17But there are also reports that the U.S. and Israel have put together plans for a short, intensive campaign
03:22aimed at targeting Iran's nuclear sites as well as key infrastructure.
03:27And Iran is warning that any countries helping the U.S. launch an attack may soon become targets themselves.
03:33That's a real concern here in the Gulf, home to many American military bases.
03:38So, the fear is another round of fighting may quickly escalate and spread across the region, bringing more disruption to
03:45countries already badly affected after months of conflict.
03:48Stefan?
03:49And are diplomatic efforts making progress or are Washington and Tehran still too far apart?
03:58Well, there are some encouraging signs, despite all the military threats.
04:02According to Reuters, Iran has sent a new nuclear proposal to Washington through Qatari mediators, and the U.S. is
04:09reportedly reviewing it.
04:11But there are still some big obstacles to overcome.
04:14Iran says it will not negotiate with Washington until its seven demands are met, including sanctions relief.
04:19And U.S. President Donald Trump has been steadfast that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
04:24Here in Doha, Qatar's prime minister spoke directly with Iran's foreign minister, urging a diplomatic solution as well as safe
04:30passage for ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
04:32Iran's foreign minister has spoken with several counterparts across the region.
04:36And Iran's security chief met with President Putin in Moscow, delivering a message from Iran's supreme leader.
04:41And Russia has also offered to help mediate.
04:44Whether any of this is enough to prevent another round of fighting remains to be seen.
04:49Stefan?
04:51Okay, Adel, Halim in Doha, thank you very much.
04:54Talks aimed at bringing about an end to hostilities in Ukraine will continue next week in Abu Dhabi, following technical
05:00discussions here in Brussels.
05:05Let's bring in our NATO correspondent Shona Murray, who is in Helsinki.
05:09Good morning, Shona.
05:10Well, good morning, Stefan.
05:12Yes, indeed, those talks have concluded for two days with officials from NATO, the European Commission and the World Bank.
05:17Now it's all eyes on Abu Dhabi next week, where you'll have higher working level meetings with Russia, Ukraine and
05:23the United States convened by the U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff.
05:27What I've heard, the best sort of hope for this is that there may be another prisoner swap and potentially
05:31a ceasefire, but we don't know if that's confirmed because we don't know what Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, is
05:36willing to agree to.
05:38Coming from here in Helsinki, officials are saying that the message needs to be impressed on Putin that Europe will
05:44never abandon Ukraine and for him to continue the war is fruitless.
05:48Now, above all, the urgent need for Ukraine to receive Patriot interceptor missiles, that is also very important.
05:56NATO sources have told me that there's a message coming from the Supreme Allied Commander that countries that have interceptors
06:03need to give them to Ukraine.
06:04But they're only willing to do so if they can get guaranteed replenishment from the U.S.
06:09That is not forthcoming yet.
06:10But I caught up with Antti Häkkinen, the Finnish defense minister, and I asked him about this situation and what
06:16should be done.
06:18The winter is coming and Russia is preparing huge attacks to Ukraine's civil infrastructure, energy infrastructure.
06:27And now is the most critical time to have all the all the air defense capabilities for Ukraine, what we
06:34can arrange.
06:35We have the funding, we have the funding, now we need the stocks to be delivered to Ukraine.
06:43And there's also some other countries globally which can support.
06:47So, but we need the political willingness also from the U.S. side to start the deliveries.
06:52Europeans have gave the funding for that.
06:55And now it's only a matter of kind of political arrangements.
06:59Europeans are now the biggest supporter of Ukraine and we are giving the EU loan strong bilateral support.
07:06So we are quite a big players in that field.
07:10But still we have to show more strength, more willingness in long term to support Ukraine.
07:18Because if there comes some political messages that Europe is exhausted or something like that, that's a wrong message.
07:25That weakens our negotiation position.
07:29When we are messaging that how we are supporting Ukraine in long term first and the sanctions also, we have
07:35to show, show willingness in long term to be tough on these positions.
07:41Just final question.
07:42You said that there was a serious threat still looming from Russia across Europe.
07:47Can you describe that given where we are geographically?
07:49Well, Russia is ramping up their military in all domains from traditional conventional warfare and also nuclear capabilities.
07:57And they are building new infrastructure, increasing their manpower, building new infrastructure, not just in our vicinity, but also wider
08:07area.
08:08So they can pose a military threat, not direct at this point, but in future we have to be prepared
08:15for that kind of scenarios.
08:17We hope that there will be a peace and peaceful solutions in everything.
08:21But Europeans have to ramp up their defense and fast and also counter these hybrid threats much more efficiently and
08:28united.
08:32Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkinen speaking to Shona Murray in Helsinki.
08:37In the United States, the midterm elections were not only a referendum on Donald Trump.
08:42They could also prove to be a defining moment for the Democratic Party, forcing it to confront some difficult questions
08:48about its leadership, its identity and its strategy for the future.
08:53Who speaks for the Democrats?
08:55And can the party turn electoral gains into a coherent political alternative?
09:00And what lessons will it draw as it looks ahead to 2028?
09:04Earlier, I discussed this with Bruce Stokes, associate fellow at Chatham House, senior fellow at the German Marshall Fund and
09:10a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
09:12Here's what he said.
09:14There was an American comedian in the 1930s named Will Rogers, and he was once asked what political party he
09:22belonged to.
09:23And he said, I don't belong to an organized political party.
09:26I'm a Democrat.
09:27And there will be, as you suggested, tensions between the progressive wing of the party and the moderate wing of
09:34the party going forward in terms of priorities.
09:38I think realistically, it would appear now there might be maybe eight or more, nine, maybe 10 Democratic socialists in
09:49the Democratic caucus of now 240, 250 people.
09:54So they'll be very vocal.
09:57They'll claim the election is an endorsement of their agenda.
10:03But I think the reality is that the Democrats and the more moderate Democrats are really the ones who prevailed.
10:11So Democrats succeeded largely on the message of being against Trump.
10:15But going forward, they're going to have to decide what they want to stand for when he won't be on
10:21the ballot.
10:22Your take.
10:22I think you're right.
10:23You know, we have a long saying in the United States about it's the economy stupid.
10:29And clearly the exit polling data showed that people thought the economy was the principal issue.
10:34But in this case, it was also Trump stupid that people by three to one said that they had voted
10:41against Trump in this election.
10:45So the question is going to be, what do the Democrats stand for going into the 2028 election?
10:52How do the various contenders position themselves because they can't just continue to talk about Trump?
10:59Because, as you say, the constitutionally, the president can't run again.
11:05So it's going to be a question of what are we going to do to win the voters support in
11:112028 when we don't have Trump to beat up?
11:14Well, even with this week's big victories, Democrats are going to be limited in what they can do with their
11:20new congressional majorities because Trump can veto everything.
11:24How do you see this divided government play out?
11:28Well, it'd be very interesting to see whether the Democrats can fashion some initial legislation that addresses the cost of
11:36health care, for example, or food stamps, which, yes, it is true that in the Senate they would need 60
11:44votes because otherwise you can block things in the Senate.
11:48If you don't have 60 votes, but it puts at least some Republicans who are up for reelection in 2028
11:54in a bit of a bind.
11:56Do they want to vote against the food stamps?
11:59Do they want to vote against Medicaid, which is our health care for poor people?
12:04Do they want to vote against subsidies for Obamacare, which have gone up dramatically?
12:10On that note, I know it's early, but who do you see as the candidate leading the Democrats into the
12:18next presidential election?
12:20So it's very early at this point, but you're right.
12:23There's going to be more than a half a dozen, maybe even 10 people are going to throw their hats
12:28in the rings in the next couple of weeks.
12:30I think the clear winner from this election in terms of raising his profile and exciting people is John Ossoff,
12:38who is the senator from Georgia, who won by 18 or 19 percentage points and is young.
12:46He's articulate.
12:48He's from the South.
12:49And I think the the initial excitement is going to be about here.
12:56Political analyst Bruce Stokes speaking to us from Boston, a wave of bomb threats targeting commercial airliners is raising alarm
13:05across European aviation.
13:06Flights have been diverted, emergency procedures activated and fighter jets scrambled in some cases based on threats that ultimately proved
13:15to be false.
13:16But who is behind this apparent campaign?
13:19And are we witnessing a new form of hybrid warfare designed to disrupt European air travel and undermine public confidence?
13:27To assess the scale of the threat and the vulnerabilities it exposes.
13:31I'm now joined by aviation expert and travel journalist Owen Corey in Dublin.
13:36Good morning to you.
13:38Good morning, Stefan.
13:39So what happens operationally when an aircraft receives a bomb threat?
13:45What procedures are immediately triggered?
13:48I think you've already that is part of the problem, Stefan.
13:52We have over 500 civil airports in Europe.
13:56Usually a bomb threat comes to the airport, less so to the airline.
14:00And each airport is activating it using a separate set of protocols.
14:05The protocols aren't that scattered.
14:08It tends to be escalated to the local police force.
14:11And from there, very often to the state military intelligence or the military agencies.
14:18What we've seen on Tuesday and again yesterday, when we had over 20 flights affected, some very dramatically, others less
14:26so, is different airports reacting to what seems to be a blanket set of threats, almost weaponizing disruption.
14:35Because this is designed to disrupt.
14:38This is not designed to blow up anything.
14:40If you're going to blow up anything, you're not going to put every airport in Europe on the highest state
14:44of alert.
14:45And some airports, Stefan, seem to be jumpier than others when these threats come in.
14:49And Owen, are airlines and airports sufficiently equipped to deal with a sustained campaign of false bomb threats?
14:57This is really weaponizing the threat of a bomb because you've got to remember how safe a European airspace is.
15:06For 40 years, nobody has got a bomb on board an aircraft.
15:10You have to go back to Lockerbie before you see anything like this happening.
15:14Airports have been very, very, very good at security.
15:18And all the viewers will know exactly what it takes to get through airport security.
15:23Nobody really has a chance of getting a bomb on board.
15:26But what they've discovered is they can weaponize the threat of a bomb to disrupt.
15:30What we need now is a strategy that when you escalate that bomb threat, who is assessing that is a
15:39genuine threat?
15:40Because quite clearly, some of the airports in Europe are escalating threats.
15:46And there are hundreds of other threats that seem to be going in.
15:49This has emerged in the last two or three days that are not being escalated.
15:53I think at some stage, a little bit of talking to each other might be done.
15:56All right, Owen Curry, aviation expert and travel journalist, thank you for coming on the show this morning.
16:03And now let's cross to France, where major protests have been ongoing for weeks as the government struggles to push
16:09its budget through a divided parliament.
16:11And if that weren't enough for France's executive, a new book has now shed light on a series of revelations
16:18about French President Emmanuel Macron.
16:20Our reporter Estelle Nilsson-Julien is standing by for us in Paris.
16:24Good morning, Estelle. What can you tell us?
16:27Good morning, Stefan.
16:29Well, yes, this new book reveals a series of telegram messages that the French President exchanged with journalist François Gaudois,
16:38who's a political journalist, former advisor to Sigourney Royal, the socialist politician.
16:44And they exchanged messages for two years.
16:47And this all began when the French President reached out to François after she shared a message on Twitter in
16:55solidarity with Brigitte Macron,
16:57who had been facing an intense wave of cyber harassment and trolling in light of fake allegations and claiming that
17:05she was a trans person.
17:08So she was facing a wave of transphobia and de Bois tweeted, no woman deserves to be treated this way.
17:16Macron subsequently reached out to her in the telegram messages and their messaging and texting began from there, Stefan.
17:25And what does the book tell us about Macron and his decade of power?
17:30Well, these messages revealed that Macron is determined to prevent the National Rally Party,
17:36which is topping the polls ahead of next spring's presidential elections from succeeding him in his exchanges with the author.
17:45He defended his controversial decision to call snap elections in the summer of 2024 after the National Rally Party won
17:53a record number of seats in the European parliamentary elections.
17:57He also staunchly defended his decision not to name a left-wing prime minister following the results of these snap
18:05elections.
18:06At the same time, what we learned in these exchanges is that he was critical of mainstream politicians from the
18:14right to be accused of drifting towards the far right, Stefan.
18:19And you spoke to Françoise Degrois, the book's author. What did she make of all of this?
18:24She told me that Macron is grappling with his political legacy and he promised upon his victory to minimize the
18:34power of political extreme forces in France.
18:37And at present, he has not succeeded in doing so.
18:41But she also told me that from these exchanges, she feels that he is of a very combative nature and
18:47that he is still in a questioning phase, interrogating himself, searching for answers and solutions.
18:53As for why she published the book, she told me that in her view, Macron knows full well who she
18:59is.
18:59She is a former advisor, a journalist, and that he did not reveal any state secrets to her.
19:06And there have been some speculation in France about whether the Élysée knew about this book.
19:13They say that they didn't.
19:15And Françoise Degrois also told me that the president was not aware of his publication until the days just before
19:22it was released, Stefan.
19:25Wow.
19:26Estelle-Lisson-Julien, thank you so much for your reporting.
19:29And that does it for us today.
19:31Thank you for watching.
19:32I'm Stefan Grobe.
19:33Take care.
19:34And I'll see you on Monday.
