00:14Bom dia, é Tuesday, 28 de outubro.
00:18Eu sou Marat Gwynne e esse é Europe Today,
00:21o seu dia de dose de news e análise broadcast live aqui de Brussels.
00:26Coming up on today's show, Iran has offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
00:32if the U.S. lifts its blockade of Iranian ports, according to officials.
00:37U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has rejected the offer as unacceptable.
00:42Meanwhile, the German Chancellor Friedrich Meirz has said the U.S. is being humiliated in talks with Iran.
00:49We'll bring you the latest.
00:51And with the U.S. and Iran locked in a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz,
00:55the European Union is facing a deepening energy shock with potentially far-reaching economic consequences.
01:02We look at whether the political response has matched the scale of the crisis.
01:08And China has publicly criticised EU plans to shield homegrown European industries
01:15with a so-called European preference in public procurement,
01:19saying it's discriminatory and vowing countermeasures.
01:22We ask what it could mean for the relationship between Beijing and Brussels.
01:28But first, this morning, against a backdrop of rising energy prices and warnings of stagflation,
01:36French President Emmanuel Macron has renewed calls for euro bonds,
01:40which is joint European debt issued by all 27 EU member states.
01:45But in Brussels, the proposal is being met with scepticism.
01:48For more, we can turn now to our Europe editor, Maria Tadeo, who joins me in the studio.
01:53Good morning, Maria.
01:54Tell us first, why is the French president proposing this now?
01:57Well, Maria, this is something that is not necessarily new coming from Emmanuel Macron,
02:02because he's always argued for this idea of a strategic autonomy for Europe.
02:06So this is a European Union that is able to operate independently in a global scenario,
02:11of course, in which you're seeing deep competition coming both from China,
02:15but increasingly the United States of America.
02:17He's always argued that in order to finance this autonomy, you will need joint debt.
02:23No single country in the European Union can do it alone.
02:26And obviously, we're talking about billions in investments.
02:30So it does make sense.
02:31And it matches his thinking that he's now put forward for many years.
02:35Nonetheless, the timing now, this is all looking into the June summit,
02:40in which European leaders will gather in Brussels.
02:43Emmanuel Macron has already said for months that decisions, fundamental decisions,
02:46when it comes to the European economy will have to be made.
02:50So they are trying to revamp the idea, looking into this gathering.
02:55At the same time, you're seeing, and you just alluded to this at the start of the show,
02:57this is a very complex geopolitical, but also macroeconomic scenario for the EU.
03:03The financing costs, obviously, when you look at interest rates,
03:05which are going up the cost of energy related to the situation in the Middle East.
03:10This adds a sense of urgency when it comes to the French,
03:13but not just because a growing number of countries, including Greece, by the way,
03:17but also the Spanish, they have all argued when it comes to not just new debt,
03:20but also the repayment of debt that was previously issued,
03:23especially at the time of the pandemic.
03:25These payments should be delayed beyond 2026,
03:28because the urgency now means that the focus should not be on paying off debt,
03:32but actually investing in the future of Europe.
03:34What we should note, however, is that the German line, and that is crucial,
03:38has not really changed.
03:39They continue to say they're not in favor of more debt.
03:42The German chancellor insists that the problem in Europe is really about productivity
03:46when it comes to its companies,
03:48but it's beginning now to lay out the scene for deep, fundamental economic matters,
03:53which are also going to include, of course, the European budget
03:56and another round, potentially, of simplification,
03:59so meaning cutting off more red tape.
04:01I spoke with the economic commissioner last week,
04:04and he said expect more measures in that sense.
04:07And Brussels is also warning, Maria, that, you know,
04:09even if there's a peace in Iran tomorrow,
04:12there will be potentially very deep economic consequences.
04:15So what has the response really been like from them?
04:17Yeah, you're seeing now a growing number of European leaders,
04:20including the German chancellor, repeat that there is no exit plan from the U.S.
04:24It's not clear how this war is going to end.
04:27And at this stage, you have the Strait of Hormuz with the many ramifications that it has
04:31for the global energy market, which has been completely rattled by this war.
04:36It's under the grip of an Iranian regime that is totally volatile.
04:40We don't know who's actually leading those negotiations.
04:42And we're also seeing that the talks are not really making progress.
04:45So for the Europeans, the language has not really changed from it's a shock
04:49to now you are dealing with a crisis.
04:51Last week, the European Commission put forward measures, but it did not move the needle.
04:56There is a pressure still from the capitals that the commission needs to do more.
05:00There's also criticism that some of the big measures, which could include,
05:04well, counting out some of the energy costs from fiscal deficits and debt that should be tweaked.
05:10Those parameters, there's also been now calls about suspending some of the green rules and legislations.
05:16There's been calls also about state aid that can work for some countries,
05:19but not others, which do not have the financial capacity to pay for it.
05:23So you're still increasingly seeing capitals are asking for more.
05:26I was at an economic forum over the weekend.
05:28The response that I got from the industry is that this is much more severe
05:32than the language that you hear from the institutions,
05:34and that they do want to see more measures, which for the time being have not come.
05:39Okay, Maria, Tadeo, thank you so much for that analysis for us.
05:43Now, moving on, EU lawmakers are gathering in Strasbourg this week
05:47with a raft of issues on their agenda.
05:49For more, we can cross over now to the European Parliament in Strasbourg
05:53and to our correspondent, Vincenzo Genovese, who's there for us.
05:57Good morning, Vincenzo. Great to see you.
05:59Give us a sense. What can we expect from the Parliament today?
06:04Good morning, Maria. Good morning from Strasbourg.
06:07The European Parliament is voting today at noon
06:10on a report about rape legislation in the EU.
06:13The resolution calls on the European Commission
06:16to establish a common definition of rape,
06:18which is valid, which should be valid across all the 27 member states,
06:22and essentially says that any form of sex without consent
06:26should be considered as rape,
06:29which is not the case today all across the EU.
06:32So why is this important?
06:33I'll put that question to Abir al-Salani, a Swedish MP,
06:37who has worked on the file.
06:39Good morning and welcome.
06:40What's the key point of this vote?
06:42Well, it comes as a result of a failure from the previous mandate
06:47when we discussed the gender-based violence directive,
06:51and where we fail, actually,
06:53in delivering this kind of legislation to women.
06:56And it comes with a very important timing,
06:59not only because of the backlash on gender equality issues globally,
07:07but also specifically in Europe,
07:09but also because of all these scandals
07:11that have been surrounding this topic,
07:13from the case of Madame Pelicot in France
07:16to the rape, so-called rape academy,
07:20where you drug women, where the partners drug women,
07:24they raped them and they streamed it online.
07:26So the violence has evolved against women.
07:29Sexual violence in Europe has evolved.
07:31Because nowadays the definition of rape is,
07:34in some member states, is linked to violence.
07:38Exactly.
07:39And many of these,
07:40let me just focus a little bit on the member states,
07:43where they actually were the ones pressuring us,
07:45the previous mandate,
07:46not to go through with the consent-based legislation.
07:49And finally they are waking up
07:52and now it is actually on them
07:54to also push the commission
07:55so we can have this legislative proposal.
07:59Because when you do this,
08:00when you do not choose the side of women
08:03and this, the victims,
08:05then you are choosing actually the side of the rapist.
08:07You're already chosen a side.
08:09You're not neutral.
08:10What's about the parliament?
08:11All the political groups agree on this resolution?
08:14Because I see that some criticism from the far-right parties.
08:18Well, unfortunately not.
08:20Can you imagine in 2026,
08:23when they are saying,
08:25this far-right party,
08:26the Patriots and the ESN,
08:29they are still saying that,
08:31are women properly dressed?
08:34Was she too drunk?
08:36What did she do to provoke a rape?
08:39Still they are blaming the woman,
08:41the victim for the rape.
08:42And I think that they should be utterly ashamed
08:46when they cannot,
08:47even in this very volatile situation,
08:51they cannot choose the side of the victim.
08:53Let's turn to another topic
08:54because tomorrow there is a key debate
08:56on the Middle East crisis.
08:57What should be done on this crisis?
08:59Well, it's not a crisis.
09:01It's a war ongoing
09:02where actual people, real people,
09:05humans like you and me are dying.
09:06And they are paying a price
09:08for us watching the global order
09:12being renegotiated in real time.
09:15And what we should have done
09:17is we should have been much more clear,
09:19much more early in our reactions.
09:21We should have brought the Iranian opposition
09:24to facilitate their democratic shift.
09:27But killing people
09:28and calling it a war for democracy,
09:30that is just ugly.
09:32But are you in favor of direct involvement
09:34of the European countries
09:35as suggested by President Trump?
09:37Never, never in a war
09:39that is a crime against international law.
09:42We are better than that.
09:43Europeans, EU, we are better than this.
09:45If we don't protect the international law,
09:49then nobody will.
09:50Okay.
09:51Thank you very much.
09:52And we will cover,
09:53we will follow, of course,
09:55this debate and all the votes
09:56here in the European Parliament
09:58in Strasbourg
09:59on Euronews and Euronews.com.
10:01Maren.
10:02Okay, Vincenzo, thank you so much
10:04and thank you to your guests there,
10:05MEP Abir al-Salani.
10:07Now, we're continuing now
10:09with the Middle East
10:10where uncertainty, of course,
10:11still hangs over the future
10:13of talks between the US and Iran.
10:15For more, we can now cross over to Doha
10:18and to our correspondent,
10:19Laila Humaira,
10:20who's standing by for us.
10:21Laila, great to see you again.
10:23Tell us, the Iranian Foreign Minister
10:25Abbas Adakchi met President Putin
10:27in Moscow yesterday.
10:28What was the outcome?
10:31A very good morning to you as well, Maren.
10:33Well, yeah, it seems like
10:34Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Adakchi
10:36was very pleased with his visit to Russia
10:39and his meeting with the Russian President
10:40Vladimir Putin,
10:42calling it,
10:43hailing the strategic partnership
10:44between Tehran and the Kremlin.
10:47Now, after these talks,
10:48Adakchi also said
10:49that the US had offered
10:50a new round of talks and negotiations.
10:53But on the US side, though,
10:55latest reports from several US media outlets
10:58are saying that Trump is again unhappy
11:01with the peace proposal
11:02that Iran had put forth
11:03after reviewing it
11:04with his security team,
11:06which begs the question,
11:07what is going to happen next?
11:09Now, Washington has been very clear
11:11that its red lines remain,
11:13that Iran cannot be enriching uranium,
11:16and it cannot possess any capabilities
11:19to develop a nuclear weapons program.
11:21Now, we've had reaction from Europe as well,
11:23with the German Chancellor Frederick Mertz
11:25saying that the US is being humiliated
11:29by Iranian leadership
11:30simply because it doesn't have
11:32a clear exit strategy for the war.
11:34So that's where we stand, Mari.
11:36It seems like one step forward,
11:38but maybe, possibly,
11:39two steps back as well.
11:41And Laila, briefly,
11:42both sides still are committed
11:43to standoff over the Strait of Hormuz,
11:45and it's still having
11:47quite a deep impact on the markets.
11:51That's right.
11:51Now, the Strait of Hormuz situation
11:53has escalated into the top rooms
11:56of the United Nations
11:57with the UN Security Council
11:59calling for an urgent
12:01and unconditional reopening
12:02of the Strait of Hormuz.
12:04Of course, the disruptions
12:05and hostilities
12:06in the critical maritime shipping trade
12:09has sent shockwaves
12:10to energy markets
12:11and supply chains as well,
12:12with oil prices trading
12:14at a three-week high
12:15with Brent crude prices
12:17at a critical $108 a barrel level.
12:24Now, there has also been
12:25latest inflation
12:26and consumer confidence data
12:27coming out from across Europe,
12:29which indicates worries
12:31and concerns that weaker
12:32or slower consumption
12:34is ahead of us
12:35and possibly also a weaker
12:36or slowing GDP growth
12:38in the coming months.
12:39And that's also,
12:40in the summer months,
12:41concerns of lower
12:43or shortage of jet fuel.
12:44and that would be a concern
12:46for flights to be grounded
12:47and the tourism also
12:49bracing for impact as well.
12:51OK, Laila Humaira in Doha first.
12:54Thank you so much for that update.
12:56Now, we're moving on now.
12:58The European Commission
12:59has defended its
13:00made-in-Europe push
13:02by stating the bloc
13:03is one of the most open markets
13:05in the world.
13:06It came after China
13:07slammed the EU's attempt
13:09to supercharge local industry.
13:12For more, we're joined
13:13by our EU correspondent
13:14Angela Scugins.
13:16Good morning, Angela.
13:16Great to have you.
13:18Tell us first about this clash
13:19that's played out quite publicly
13:20between Brussels and Beijing.
13:22Good morning, Marad.
13:23So it all started on Monday
13:25when a spokesperson
13:26from China's Commerce Ministry
13:27came out with a statement
13:29blasting the EU
13:30for the Industrial Acceleration Act.
13:33This is exactly
13:33what you're talking about.
13:34That made-in-EU push
13:36came out in March
13:37aiming to help support
13:39the EU wean off
13:40some of those major superpowers
13:42when it comes to manufacturing,
13:44such as China.
13:44We know that 200,000 jobs
13:47in the EU have been wiped out
13:49since 2024.
13:50These are in the automotive
13:51and energy industries.
13:54So this big push by the EU
13:55wants to help permitting
13:57as well as preferencing
13:59public procurement
14:01when it comes to those
14:02made-in-EU products.
14:04Now, China came out
14:05with that statement
14:06stating that this could violate
14:08World Trade Organization principles
14:10and it could hurt foreign investment
14:12and that countermeasures
14:14could follow
14:14if the EU ploughs through.
14:17Now, Brussels has not
14:19stayed silent on the matter
14:20and neither has the French
14:21minister-delegate for Europe
14:23who wrote on social media
14:24Platform X,
14:26we will not back down.
14:28Like the United States
14:29and China,
14:30Europe will support
14:31its industrial players.
14:33A spokesperson
14:33from the European Commission
14:34also took to the podium
14:36at a public press conference
14:38on Monday.
14:39This is what they had to say
14:40in response to those statements.
14:42It's, of course,
14:43also about reciprocity.
14:44I mean, we've been quite clear
14:46that the goal of
14:47one of the objectives
14:48of the proposal
14:49is that we are
14:51one of the most open markets
14:52in the world
14:53and we have the largest
14:54free trade agreement network
14:56worldwide.
14:56And so we also expect
14:59that openness to be mutual.
15:01And Angela,
15:02this is actually the second
15:03statement criticizing EU
15:05coming from Beijing
15:07in recent days.
15:08Can we now say
15:09that these tensions
15:10are really escalating?
15:11It absolutely matters.
15:13This is the second statement.
15:14We know that Beijing
15:15came out on Friday
15:16criticizing the EU
15:17for that 20th sanctions
15:19package against Russia
15:20for that country's
15:21ongoing invasion
15:22of Ukraine.
15:23They imposed
15:24restrictive measures
15:26for at least
15:27seven defense companies
15:29from the EU
15:30exporting their
15:32defensive products
15:33into China.
15:34This is in response
15:35to at least
15:36two dozen
15:37companies
15:38that the EU
15:38put on their own
15:40sanctions list.
15:41These are companies
15:42allegedly in China
15:43that are helping
15:43Russia and Belarus
15:45circumvent those
15:46EU sanctions measures
15:47as well as
15:48for allegedly producing
15:49those dual-use
15:50technologies
15:51that Russia
15:52is employing
15:53on the battlefield.
15:54So what is clear
15:54from both of these
15:55public spats
15:56is that the tensions
15:58are escalating
15:59between these superpowers
16:00and it is also
16:01playing out
16:02on the global markets.
16:03Indeed, Angela.
16:04thank you so much
16:05for that update
16:06and that analysis
16:06for us.
16:07Now we're moving
16:08on now to something
16:09a little bit different
16:10because it's a big
16:11week in football
16:12with the first legs
16:14of the Champions League
16:15semi-finals
16:16kicking off tonight.
16:17But this isn't just
16:18a clash of teams.
16:19The four semi-finalists
16:21also represent
16:22how club ownership
16:23in Europe
16:24is shifting
16:25as Jakob Janis
16:26explains.
16:28Tonight the Champions League
16:30semi-finals kick off
16:32but if you expect
16:33real drama
16:34only on the pitch
16:35look closer
16:35at the accounts.
16:37And while everyone
16:38watches the 22 players
16:39chase a ball
16:40your reporter
16:41is following the money
16:42to witness
16:43a high-stakes clash
16:44between entirely
16:45different versions
16:46of how to build
16:47a global sporting umpire.
16:49So let's investigate
16:50that together.
16:53First, today
16:54we have
16:55Paris Saint-Germain.
16:56VSG has changed football
16:58to become a global
16:58lifestyle brand.
17:00And at the very center
17:01is Nasser Al-Khalifi
17:02the most prominent face
17:04of European
17:04petrodollar investment.
17:06And while he
17:07wasn't the first
17:08to invest
17:08he has become
17:10its most influential
17:11ambassador.
17:12And they face
17:13Bayern Munich
17:13the gold standard
17:15of the German
17:15democratic model.
17:16Under the 50 plus 1 rule
17:18club members
17:19still hold
17:20the majority
17:20of voting rights
17:21legally preventing
17:22any single billionaire
17:24from seizing control.
17:25And although
17:26its own executives
17:27suggested scrapping
17:29the rule last month
17:29for now
17:30Bayern remains
17:31a machine built
17:32on fiscal efficiency
17:33rather than
17:34individual ego
17:35underpinned
17:36by its industrial
17:37alliance of
17:38Adidas,
17:38Audi and Alliance.
17:40And tomorrow
17:40it is a battle
17:41of American
17:42investment strategies.
17:43Until 1990s
17:45Atletico de Madrid
17:46was the people's club
17:47but they have
17:48undergone
17:48a total
17:49corporate makeover.
17:50and following
17:51last month's
