01:07Plus, a twist in Spanish politics
01:09Spain's Supreme Court has officially lifted
01:12the national arrest warrant
01:14for exiled Catalan separatist leader
01:16Carlos Puddemont, clearing the path
01:18for his return nearly nine years
01:19after fleeing. The move comes hot
01:22on the heels of Pedro Sanchez's
01:24snap election announcement for the end
01:26of November. But first
01:27The World Health Organisation
01:29says the risk of a new plague epidemic
01:32is low, following the sudden death
01:34of a lab technician in Siberia
01:35Hundreds remain under medical
01:37observation and European health authorities
01:39are on alert. The Commission
01:41and member states will be holding last minute talks
01:43this morning on the matter. For more
01:45we're joined now by the well-known Belgian virologist
01:48Marc van Rantz. Good morning
01:50Marc, great to have you with us. So how worried
01:52should people be about this plague, if
01:54at all? I mean, Russian secrecy means we don't
01:56really know how serious the threat is. No, we
01:57don't know, but we
01:59have to assume that this is
02:01either an isolated incident or even
02:03a non-incident. And I'm always
02:05surprised when something happens in Russia
02:07it becomes news. But this happens
02:10very frequently in
02:11DRC in Congo and in
02:14Madagascar. We have hundreds
02:15of cases every year of plague
02:17and people are always surprised. They think it's something medieval
02:20something very special
02:21Of course here, it's lab
02:24associated. That makes it a little bit
02:25more serious, I guess.
02:28And it brings back memories of
02:29Covid. People are worried it's going to escape from the lab,
02:32right? We have now people, a population
02:34that has been trained in microbiology for
02:35a couple of years. They're more interested in
02:37everything that has to do with microbes
02:39and of course they're going to be attuned
02:41to these stories and be worried.
02:44So what should the EU be doing this morning? What would
02:45you be advising EU officials as they sit
02:47down this morning? Try to get as much
02:49information as they can. That's what they're
02:51doing. WHO is doing. The Trump
02:53administration is doing this. Everybody is
02:55asking questions to the Russian
02:57government. They're probably not going to answer
02:59it truthfully, I guess.
03:01But then with every day that
03:03passes, when no secondary
03:05cases appear, and if they would appear
03:07it probably would be known,
03:09we can be more certain that this
03:11is either a non-incident or something
03:13very small and
03:14under control. Okay, so that's
03:17some relief, I guess, for our viewers this morning.
03:19But what about COVID? COVID seems to
03:21be back. Many people have COVID. Should we
03:23all be going out getting boosters? Should we
03:24be isolating if we get COVID?
03:28During the summer months
03:29there was very little COVID
03:30and I even thought, okay, maybe it's
03:32disappearing. It has not
03:34disappeared.
03:35It is back, but it is
03:37back under the mild form,
03:38milder form of Omicron.
03:40That is the type of
03:42SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID
03:44that is appearing now
03:45everywhere in
03:46Europe.
03:48But we have antibodies against it.
03:50This is extremely contagious,
03:52which means that all of us
03:53have had it probably multiple times.
03:55And many of us
03:57have received vaccines
03:59in the past years.
04:01So we're doing okay
04:02against Omicron.
04:04So this might be
04:06the period of the year,
04:07as it is for many other
04:08respiratory viruses,
04:10that they appear
04:11and then they
04:12will reach a peak
04:13and go away again.
04:15But nothing,
04:15there is really no evidence
04:17at all
04:18that this will be
04:202020 or 2021
04:22revisited.
04:23This is not going to
04:24happen.
04:25This will be
04:25a mild epidemic
04:27at best.
04:28Okay, lots of good news
04:28this morning from Mark.
04:29Ron Rance, thank you so much
04:30for joining us here
04:31in the studio.
04:32But now, moving on today,
04:34Mark's three years
04:35since the October 7th
04:36attacks by Hamas,
04:37a day that shocked
04:38Israel and the world.
04:39Meanwhile, the war
04:40on Hamas in Gaza
04:42continues to produce
04:43a human tragedy
04:43with thousands dead
04:44and no clear path
04:46to peace.
04:47At the parliament
04:47in Strasbourg,
04:48tensions erupted
04:49with one French MEP
04:51of Palestinian
04:52and Kurdish origin
04:53accused of kicking
04:54an Israeli flag
04:55to the ground.
04:57Rima Hassan denies
04:58throwing the flag
04:59and says she actually
05:00just removed it
05:01from its stand.
05:02Taking to X,
05:03she said,
05:03my gesture is part
05:05of the denunciation
05:05of the ongoing genocide,
05:07of violations
05:08of international law.
05:09And of this incessant
05:11and unbearable
05:11double standard,
05:12she said a Russian flag
05:13would never be admitted.
05:15After that instant,
05:17Israel's ambassador
05:18to France,
05:18that's Joshua Zarca,
05:19told our Europe editor,
05:20Maria Tadeo,
05:21that the episode reflects
05:22rising anti-Semitism
05:23in France.
05:24I cannot understand
05:26how a person
05:28that aims to be a politician,
05:30that aims to represent
05:31the public,
05:32can be so violent
05:33and disrespectful
05:35of the death
05:36of thousands of people
05:37that has been caused
05:38by the same cause
05:40that she's trying to help.
05:42The head of the European Parliament
05:44is saying
05:44this is unacceptable
05:46and she takes this
05:47extremely serious.
05:48From your part
05:49as the Israeli ambassador
05:50to France,
05:51will you ask
05:52for the European Parliament
05:54to put forward
05:55more sanctions?
05:56Will you ask
05:56the French government
05:57to take action
05:58once the details
06:01are clarified?
06:02You know,
06:03Mrs. Rima Hassan,
06:04the member of Parliament
06:05that kicked down
06:05the flags,
06:07is accused
06:08of support
06:10to terrorism.
06:11She is supposed
06:12to appear
06:13before court
06:14in the next few days.
06:15This is a person
06:16that has been
06:17extremely active
06:18in her anti-Zionism
06:21and her anti-Semitism
06:22in the support
06:23of terrorism.
06:23She openly supports Hamas.
06:26She openly supports
06:27what Hamas did
06:28on October 7th.
06:30This is a terrible person.
06:31Let's be clear.
06:33And I think
06:33that she is perceived
06:35to be a terrible person
06:36by the largest part
06:38of the French politics.
06:40So it's not that
06:41I need to convince anybody
06:42that that's the case.
06:44And she's also supporting
06:46openly terrorism
06:48in her statements
06:49and in the support
06:50that she gave
06:51to terrorist acts
06:52that took place
06:52in Israel in the past.
06:54So she's a terrible person.
06:56Let's be clear about that.
06:57I do want to clarify
06:59there is an ongoing
07:00legal process
07:00but she has denied
07:01she supported
07:03or expressed
07:04an apology of terrorism.
07:05Of course,
07:05that case will continue
07:07its path
07:07but specifically though
07:08given that this incident
07:09took place
07:10in the European Parliament
07:11in Strasbourg
07:12will you escalate
07:13this matter
07:14to French authorities?
07:15Will you ask
07:16for this to be investigated
07:17as hate,
07:19anti-Semitism?
07:20This is an issue
07:22that has been dealt
07:23with by the European Parliament
07:25in our division
07:26of Labour
07:27or our embassy
07:28to Brussels
07:28to the embassy
07:29to the European Union
07:30is the one in charge
07:32of following this issue
07:34and to the best
07:35of my understanding
07:36there is a very close
07:37dialogue
07:38between our embassy
07:39and the president
07:40of the European Parliament
07:42concerning this issue
07:43with the purpose
07:44of making sure
07:45that something like that
07:46will never happen again
07:47and that Mrs. Rima Hassan
07:49faces the charge
07:50he just needs to face.
07:52But you say
07:52all anti-Semitism
07:53is unacceptable.
07:54I have to ask you
07:55about the allegations
07:56that have appeared
07:57in the French press
07:58that Jordan Bardella,
07:59the right-hand man
08:00of Marine Le Pen
08:01made anti-Semitic comments
08:02when he was 17.
08:03Some of these comments
08:04include
08:05the Jews control
08:06all the banks.
08:08Do you see that
08:08also as equally worrying?
08:10Of course.
08:11Any type of anti-Semitism,
08:12any statement,
08:13any type of statement,
08:15act,
08:16anyway,
08:17is unacceptable
08:18and is comprehensible.
08:20Now the question is,
08:21as you said,
08:22these are allegations
08:23and we are following
08:24very closely
08:25and we will make
08:27or we will react to it
08:29once it is clear
08:30that these allegations
08:31are true
08:32or if not
08:32then we react otherwise.
08:34For the time being
08:35we will reserve
08:36our response.
08:38We have an issue.
08:39There is an issue
08:40of anti-Semitism in France.
08:41There is an issue
08:42of anti-Semitism in Europe.
08:44Unfortunately,
08:45the raise of anti-Semitism
08:46has happened significantly
08:48after October 7th.
08:50But there is one party
08:52who is openly,
08:53in France,
08:54openly anti-Semitic
08:55and that's LFI.
08:57And the leader
08:58of that party,
08:59Jean-Luc Mélenchon,
09:01is scoping the mimics
09:03of leaders
09:06that were active in Europe
09:08in the 30s
09:09of the last centuries.
09:10So are you making
09:11a comparison also
09:12to Nazism and Hitler?
09:13Would you say
09:13this gentleman acts
09:15like Hitler did
09:16in the 30s?
09:17I've said that publicly
09:18in the past already,
09:19yes.
09:22Now moving on
09:23to the Black Sea
09:24which has become
09:25a battlefield of late
09:26with drone incursions
09:28off both Romania
09:29and Bulgaria's coast
09:30resulting in fiery blazes,
09:32sunken ships
09:32and loss of life.
09:34For more,
09:34we can bring in now
09:35our defence correspondent,
09:36Angela Scudgens.
09:37Good morning, Angela.
09:38Just tell us more
09:39about the recent instance.
09:40Yes, good morning, Maeve.
09:41So the latest incursion
09:43that we saw
09:43occurred yesterday,
09:44roughly 130 kilometres
09:46off Bulgaria's coast
09:47in the early hours.
09:49Two commercial vessels
09:50were attacked
09:51by sea and aerial drones.
09:53One suffered
09:54significant damage
09:55and sank on the spot.
09:57The other caught fire.
09:58Thankfully,
09:59no one was significantly injured
10:00and no one died
10:01in this incursion.
10:02Now, Bulgaria,
10:03of course,
10:04is a member
10:04of the North Atlantic
10:05Treaty Organisation
10:06as well as
10:07the European Union.
10:08The European Commission
10:09President Ursula von der Leyen
10:11came out with strong words
10:12yesterday stating
10:13that Brussels
10:13stands in support
10:15with countries
10:16on Europe's eastern flank
10:17and attacks
10:18on civilian shipping
10:20are simply unacceptable.
10:22We also heard
10:23similar rhetoric
10:23coming out of Sofia
10:25from Bulgaria's
10:26Prime Minister
10:26Rumin Radov.
10:27He didn't mince words
10:29when he decried
10:30this incident
10:31that occurred yesterday
10:32following an emergency meeting.
10:34Let's take a listen
10:34to what he had to say.
10:41This is an absolutely
10:43unacceptable attack
10:45within Bulgaria's
10:46exclusive economic zone.
10:48It is a flagrant violation
10:50of international law
10:51and maritime norms,
10:53further disrupting shipping
10:55in the Black Sea,
10:57driving insurance costs
10:58even higher
10:59and making navigation
11:00increasingly difficult.
11:09The thing is,
11:10this is not the first
11:11incursion, right?
11:12Certainly not.
11:13And not only
11:13is it the first,
11:14not the first incursion
11:15in the Black Sea,
11:16but also along
11:17Europe's eastern flank.
11:18Now,
11:19we've got a little map here.
11:20Let's take a look.
11:21There have been
11:21three major incursions
11:23of late.
11:24Of course,
11:24there was this
11:25recent incident in Bulgaria.
11:26The day before that,
11:28on Monday,
11:28we saw an incident
11:29off Romania's coast.
11:30And on the 20th of August,
11:32there was a similar incident
11:34off Romania's coast
11:35once again.
11:36But let's take a look
11:36at Monday
11:37because this was
11:37a significant escalation
11:39when it comes to
11:40alleged hybrid warfare,
11:41if we can even call it
11:42that anymore.
11:43A cargo ship
11:45carrying Ukrainian grain
11:46operated by
11:47Turkish authorities
11:48caught fire,
11:50was attacked by drones
11:51and sank.
11:52As a result,
11:53two people died
11:54in this incursion
11:55and scores were injured.
11:57Of course,
11:57there was that other incident
11:58on the 20th of August
11:59in Romania too,
12:01where an explosive
12:02laden drone
12:02was shot down
12:03by fighter jets.
12:05Now,
12:05this really shows
12:06an escalation
12:07of behaviour
12:08and a pattern,
12:09but we also need
12:10to look at blame.
12:11So Romania has been
12:12quite clear
12:13in attributing blame
12:14to Moscow,
12:15but they've stated
12:16that these are
12:17merely what happens
12:18as a byproduct
12:19of Russia's full-scale
12:20invasion of Ukraine.
12:21The rhetoric
12:22has been significantly
12:23toned down
12:24to what we saw
12:25in Berlin
12:25with that Leipzig
12:26drone incident.
12:27However,
12:27Bulgaria hasn't
12:28said the same things
12:30when it comes to
12:31Hustabai.
12:31My understanding
12:32is that they're
12:32still investigating
12:33this drone incursion
12:34that occurred on Tuesday.
12:35But I guess
12:36the bigger question is,
12:37Maeve,
12:38how much the European Union
12:39as well as NATO
12:40can stomach
12:40when it comes
12:41to these incidents
12:42which have resulted
12:42in two people
12:43dying as well
12:44as what they can do.
12:45We know the European Union
12:46is working on
12:47an anti-hybrid warfare
12:48playbook,
12:49but whether these incidents
12:50even fall within
12:51the remit
12:52of hybrid warfare
12:53is yet to be seen
12:54and what they can really do
12:55to counter these incursions.
12:57It's also my understanding
12:58that Romania,
12:59Bulgaria and Turkey
13:00are working with
13:01the machinations
13:02of NATO
13:02to bolster security
13:03in the Black Sea too.
13:05So civilian vessels
13:06can do their jobs
13:07and bring grain
13:08to Europe
13:09as well as
13:09the Middle East
13:10and Africa.
13:10OK, Angela Scudins,
13:12thank you so much
13:12for your report there.
13:14And now we can move on
13:15as EU ambassadors
13:16are close to finalising
13:18about 1,650 new additions
13:20to the sanctions list
13:21against Russia.
13:23This comes less than a month
13:24after Alisher Usmanov,
13:26often dubbed
13:26one of Putin's favourite billionaires,
13:28and Michel Friedman,
13:30a banking magnate,
13:31were controversially dropped
13:32from the lists
13:32after pressure
13:33from France and Slovakia.
13:35For more,
13:35we can head now
13:36to Strasbourg
13:37where the human rights activist
13:38Bill Brider joins us
13:38this morning.
13:39Good morning, Bill.
13:40Thank you so much
13:41for joining us.
13:42Has the EU just shown
13:43that its sanctions regime
13:44can be cracked
13:45by political backroom deals,
13:47do you think?
13:51Well, I'm...
13:52Could you repeat the question?
13:53I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.
13:54Do you think the EU
13:55has just shown
13:56that its sanctions regime
13:58can be cracked
13:59by political backroom deals,
14:01the fact that
14:01two countries
14:02got their way here?
14:06Absolutely.
14:07And I think that
14:08this is a shameful
14:09decision
14:10to let these two guys
14:12off the sanctions list.
14:13And I think
14:14it's actually
14:14a dangerous decision,
14:16particularly in the case
14:17of Alisher Uzmanov.
14:20Here you have
14:20a situation
14:21where he was
14:22effectively
14:23taken off
14:23the sanctions list
14:24because he was...
14:26because a hostage
14:27was swapped for him
14:29from Azerbaijan.
14:31And so,
14:31what does this say
14:32to other
14:33Russian oligarchs
14:35who continue
14:35to be on the sanctions list?
14:36They can encourage
14:38other countries
14:39to take hostages
14:40to put into
14:41this type of negotiation.
14:42The fact that
14:42these types of
14:43backroom deals,
14:45these dirty deals
14:46are possible
14:47really puts
14:49a very dark cloud
14:51over the whole
14:51sanctions program.
14:53That's the thing, Bill.
14:54Do you fear
14:54a precedent now
14:55is set
14:56after this saga?
15:01A very bad precedent
15:02has been set.
15:03So, imagine
15:04that you're
15:05one of these
15:05other thousands
15:06of oligarchs
15:07sitting in Russia.
15:08And I should point out
15:09that all these
15:09oligarchs,
15:11these sanctions
15:12hang over their head.
15:14It's the worst thing
15:15that could happen
15:15to them.
15:16Every single one
15:17of them is scheming
15:18and trying to come up
15:19with ways of getting
15:19off the sanctions list.
15:20They've now seen
15:21these two different things.
15:22One,
15:23a very nasty
15:24legal fight
15:25against the
15:26Luxembourg authorities.
15:27And the second
15:27is this whole
15:30hostage negotiation
15:30with the Azeris.
15:32and these
15:33other oligarchs
15:34are going to be
15:34saying,
15:34okay,
15:35this is a precedent.
15:36This is something
15:37we can do.
15:37The Europeans
15:39will blink
15:40and therefore
15:41we're going to
15:42try to use
15:42these same things
15:44to get off
15:44the sanctions list.
15:45Now,
15:45there is one
15:45saving grace
15:46in the whole
15:47situation,
15:47which is
15:48that the
15:49current sanctions
15:50list has now
15:50been renewed
15:51for three years,
15:53which means
15:53that there's
15:54a bit of time,
15:55three years of time,
15:56before we come up
15:58with another one
15:59of these moments
16:00of weakness.
16:01but it really
16:03is a terrible
16:04thing at the
16:05same time
16:05that we have
16:06Russia bombing
16:07civilians on a
16:08daily basis
16:09in Kiev and
16:10other cities
16:10around Ukraine.
16:11Well,
16:12that's the thing
16:12and you know
16:12Russia well,
16:13you know how
16:13Putin takes,
16:14do you think
16:14he's feeling
16:15any pressure
16:16from his inner
16:16circle?
16:21Putin doesn't
16:22feel pressure
16:22from anything
16:23at the moment.
16:24and the only
16:25way that
16:26this war
16:27will stop
16:28is not
16:28because people
16:29inside Russia
16:30are going to
16:31put pressure
16:31on him.
16:32There's no
16:32politics,
16:33there's no
16:33civil society.
16:34The way
16:34that this
16:35war will
16:35stop is
16:36if Ukraine
16:37inflicts
16:37enough economic
16:38damage on
16:39Russia that
16:40they cannot
16:40afford to
16:41continue this
16:43war.
16:43And the only
16:44way that's
16:44possible is
16:45if the West
16:45continues to
16:46support Ukraine
16:47militarily,
16:48and if the
16:49West were to
16:50get tough on
16:51Russia as far
16:52as oil sanctions.
16:53We haven't
16:53done that
16:54yet,
16:54and we
16:55give Ukraine
16:58enough to
16:59fend off
17:00Russia to
17:01some extent,
17:01but not to
17:02the extent
17:02necessary to
17:03get Putin to
17:04back down.
17:04So would you
17:05argue, Bill,
17:06the sanctions,
17:06the sanctions
17:07are just not
17:07working?
17:08Because as you
17:08say, the war
17:09is still very
17:09much ongoing,
17:10Ukraine facing
17:11its fifth
17:11winter of war,
17:12and it's
17:12actually worse
17:13than ever.
17:17Well, I'm
17:18not saying the
17:18sanctions aren't
17:19working.
17:19I'm saying
17:20sanctions are
17:20certainly putting
17:21pressure on
17:21Putin.
17:22But Putin
17:23is ready to
17:24starve his
17:24whole country
17:26completely in
17:27order to keep
17:28the war going.
17:29If the war
17:29were to stop,
17:30Putin would
17:31effectively lose
17:33power, and if
17:34he loses power,
17:34he would lose
17:35his life.
17:36And so he's
17:36ready to make
17:37unbelievable
17:37sacrifices.
17:38But at the
17:39same time,
17:40the sanctions
17:40are working in
17:41the sense that
17:41it's grinding
17:42Russia down,
17:43it's causing
17:44Russia economic
17:45damage.
17:45We're seeing
17:46the refining
17:47capacity of
17:48Russia decline
17:49by somewhere
17:50between 20
17:51and 40%.
17:52We're seeing
17:53inflation going
17:54up, we're
17:55seeing all
17:55sorts of
17:55stuff.
17:56But at the
17:57end of the
17:57day, sanctions
17:59aren't stopping
18:00the war because
18:01Putin is ready
18:01to suck up
18:02his gut and
18:04deal with the
18:05pressure.
18:06And so what I'm
18:07saying is that
18:08there should be
18:08more sanctions,
18:09not less
18:10sanctions, in
18:12order to try
18:12to put Putin
18:14in a position
18:14where he just
18:15can't physically
18:16afford to carry
18:17on the war.
18:18And just
18:18finally, Bill,
18:19you find
18:19yourself in
18:20Strasbourg,
18:20at the
18:21European
18:21Parliament in
18:21Strasbourg this
18:22morning.
18:22You've been
18:23meeting with
18:23the likes of
18:24Kayakalas.
18:24Is your
18:25message getting
18:25through to
18:26them?
18:30Well, I'm
18:31speaking to,
18:32I should say,
18:32I'm pushing
18:32on an open
18:33door at the
18:34European
18:35Parliament and
18:36certainly with
18:37the officials of
18:38the European
18:38Commission.
18:39I think
18:39everybody here
18:40believes that
18:41Ukraine should
18:42be supported,
18:43that Russia
18:44is the villain
18:45and we need
18:45to do more.
18:47it's obviously
18:48complicated because
18:49we also have
18:51these situations
18:51like what we
18:52just started
18:53this conversation
18:53with, with
18:54France putting
18:55pressure on
18:57the European
18:57Union to
18:58take Usman
18:59off the
19:00sanctions list
19:00because of
19:01backroom deals.
19:02But at the
19:02end of the
19:03day, there's a
19:03lot of people
19:04here, most
19:05people here,
19:05almost everybody
19:06here supports
19:07Ukraine, which
19:08is certainly
19:08heartening.
19:09Okay, Bill
19:10Breider, speaking
19:11just there from
19:11the European
19:12Parliament in
