00:30The strike drew condemnation from the United Nations and the European Union
00:33as the Iran-backed Houthis renewed their threats and Washington considered its response.
00:39Whereas President Trump said his government might join strikes against the Houthi rebels,
00:44something he was so far reluctant to do.
00:47Ukrainian drones hit a data center of a company being dubbed Russia's Google yesterday,
00:53forcing the facility near Moscow to pause operations.
00:56It was the third attack on the Russian tech giant Yantex in one week.
01:01Hours later, President Trump announced an energy ceasefire.
01:05The latest attack came after President Zelensky had heavily criticized Trump's diesel deal with Moscow,
01:11which will see millions of tons of Russian diesel released into the U.S.
01:16And authorities in Poland have arrested a man who was planning to assassinate Prime Minister Donald Tusk
01:22and his defense minister, according to police sources.
01:25The man had reportedly sent threatening emails to security services,
01:29which prompted a crisis meeting of top officials yesterday.
01:33Poland has already been on high alert after a series of school stabbings
01:37and fears of a possible Russian hybrid attack.
01:41Welcome to the program.
01:42I'm Stefan Grober.
01:44U.S. President Donald Trump says Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an immediate ceasefire
01:50on attacks against energy infrastructure.
01:52Trump announced the agreement on Truth Social, saying that both parties have agreed.
01:58The announcement comes just a day after Trump called for Ukraine to replace President Zelensky,
02:04accusing Kiev rather than Moscow of standing in the way of peace.
02:08And on Friday, Trump announced the controversial deal with Vladimir Putin to ease sanctions on Russian diesel exports,
02:15drawing sharp criticism from Kiev and Europe.
02:19In this situation, we need the analysis of our Ukraine correspondent, Sasha Vakulina,
02:23who is here with me in the studio right now.
02:26Good morning, Sasha.
02:28Good morning.
02:28So a lot to unpack here, but first on the ceasefire.
02:31Now, Trump says both sides have agreed, but Zelensky's response suggested that, you know,
02:38he wasn't aware of any deal.
02:39So what has been agreed upon and whatever it is, is it in effect?
02:45Indeed, even now, hours later, it's not clear whether this is the deal agreed between and with
02:51Kiev and Moscow or whether this is a unilateral declaration,
02:55as the one we already heard from Donald Trump earlier in September,
02:58when he said that there was another energy ceasefire, which actually never materialized.
03:02Now, this is what Donald Trump said on Truth Social.
03:05He said, effective immediately, there is an energy ceasefire in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
03:12Both parties have agreed.
03:14Do not break it.
03:16Now, Kiev and Volodymyr Zelensky have been pitching the idea of energy ceasefire for months,
03:21Stephen, given the fact that Russia is deliberately knocking out all of Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
03:26And even yesterday and the day before yesterday, in some of the neighborhoods of Kiev,
03:30there were over 20 hours without any electricity.
03:34This is how the situation is bad already now in October.
03:38But it's not clear because this is what Zelensky said following Donald Trump's statement
03:44and the ceasefire that he announced.
03:46It is important that this becomes a reality.
03:53Ukraine supports all realistic and reliable formats for a ceasefire and an end to the war.
03:59Ukraine is prepared not to carry out strikes against Russia's energy sector
04:03and we are counting on a similar willingness on Russia's part
04:06and on an agreement from the President of the United States of America on this matter.
04:11We welcome such an agreement.
04:17What is included in this idea?
04:19Because there is also information that this deal is rather refinery for refinery.
04:23If that is the case, this is very tricky because there is only one big refinery in Ukraine
04:28which has already been damaged by Russia.
04:30And this is, of course, not the case in Russia where Ukraine is targeting specifically oil refineries
04:36to make sure that Russia does not have more money to prolong its war
04:40while what Moscow is targeting is civilian energy infrastructure stuff.
04:44And so this is where it's not clear what's in the deal.
04:48Sasha, there seems to be a striking change in Trump's tone towards Zelensky
04:53saying he's standing in the way of peace, he should be replaced,
04:57which reminds me of that infamous Oval Office meeting with Trump, J.D. Vance and Zelensky.
05:04What does it tell us about the current relationship between the U.S. and Ukraine?
05:09You know, the only one, Stefan, everybody had this sort of a flashback
05:12of that famous scandal in the Oval Office in February 2025
05:15when Zelensky was accused of not being grateful, not saying thank you and so on and so forth.
05:19Things have changed since, though, because while the United States
05:23and the Donald Trump administration are clearly trying to put more pressure on Zelensky
05:27to force Kiev into a deal, to force Kiev into more concessions,
05:34the U.S. has less leverage if we compare the situation to what was happening in 2025.
05:38So let's realistically look at what can Washington do now to put even more pressure on Kiev.
05:44Now, there are a few options here on the table.
05:46There could be, there could stop sharing intel, and that would be a very dangerous thing,
05:50obviously, for Ukraine in defending itself from Russia's war.
05:53There could be some issues with the, or cut off Starlink connection,
05:57which, of course, is also a very crucial aspect for the armed forces of Ukraine.
06:01Or there could be some cuts with the pure, this is prioritized Ukraine requirement list.
06:06This is how the United States selling weapon to Europe for Ukraine.
06:10So there are these three options that are being discussed.
06:12When it comes to Pearl, though, this is also something that brings billions to the United States
06:16and to Washington.
06:17So I would say this is probably going to be the last option for Washington,
06:22realistically speaking, of looking into.
06:24But when it comes to the pressure over elections,
06:27Zelensky said that if there is a ceasefire for at least 60 days,
06:30he is ready to organize elections.
06:32Notably, Donald Trump did not mention any possibility or any need for elections
06:36or change of the leadership in Russia, Stefan.
06:40All right, Sascha, Sascha Vakulina reporting for us here.
06:44And please keep doing what you're doing going forward.
06:48And now let's head straight to Warsaw,
06:51where Zelensky is set to address the security conference
06:53as he seeks to shore up support from European allies.
06:57Our chief editor, Maria Tadeo, joins us from the Polish capital.
07:01She'll also be speaking to Poland's finance minister later today.
07:04Good morning, Maria.
07:06What can we expect from Zelensky's address?
07:09And how important is European support for Kiev at this critical moment?
07:14Well, good morning, Stefan.
07:16The president or the message from the president of Ukraine
07:18will be one of coordination and alignment.
07:21Obviously, a very turbulent weekend.
07:23You just debriefed the tensions both over the Russian diesel deal,
07:28but also the comments and the criticism escalating from the president of the U.S.
07:33saying Ukraine now needs a new leader,
07:35one that, quote, can actually make a deal to that point and amid that pressure.
07:41Yesterday, the president of Ukraine, Zelensky,
07:44had a phone call with the head of the commission, Ursula von der Leyen,
07:48an emergency call.
07:49They're not calling that.
07:50They're not putting that name on it, but essentially that's what it is.
07:53The head of the commission sent out a readout
07:56saying that she does support an energy ceasefire
07:59if that means that Ukrainian energy infrastructure
08:02will be spared from Russian attacks.
08:05And she also said, quote,
08:06she has a full support to President Zelensky.
08:09A lot of that politically has to be seen in the context
08:12of those comments from President Trump
08:14indicating that Zelensky is not the right man to lead the country.
08:18The head of the commission saying the opposite.
08:20She also added that this is a man who's, quote,
08:22fighting for the freedom of his country.
08:25She also said that Ukraine will be front and center
08:28at the European summit on Thursday.
08:30We are expecting President Zelensky to be there in person in Brussels.
08:34She said that they will talk about financing
08:37and they will talk about money for drones and missiles.
08:39But the question, the money question, is a difficult one, Stefan,
08:43because for the time being and up until now,
08:45it's the Europeans that are very much providing the bulk of the financing.
08:49They pay for the weapons, too, through NATO.
08:51The U.S. no longer pays for any of the expenses
08:54related to the war for the Europeans.
08:56This is a tricky question.
08:58And the head of the commission also says
09:00that the EU will put together a global effort
09:03to get global funding for Ukraine.
09:06Obviously, this is a money question.
09:08And winter has not even started yet.
09:11All right.
09:12Our EU editor, Maria Tadeo, from the Warsaw Security Forum.
09:16Thank you very much.
09:17As we've heard, Europe's eastern flank
09:20is facing another moment of heightened tension.
09:23Latvia and its Baltic neighbors are, once again, on alert
09:27amid growing concerns over Russian drones,
09:30airspace violations and a broader campaign
09:33of hybrid pressure against NATO.
09:35One of the top topics at the EU's Foreign Affairs Council
09:38in Luxembourg today.
09:40Is Moscow testing Europe's resolve?
09:43And how close are we to a dangerous escalation?
09:46We'll put these questions now to Latvia's foreign minister,
09:50Baiba Braje.
09:51Good morning, madam.
09:52Great to have you on.
09:54Good morning from Luxembourg City.
09:56We are at the EU Foreign Affairs meeting.
10:00Wonderful.
10:00So, a lot has happened over the past 48 hours around Latvia.
10:05What is your assessment of the security situation
10:08in the region right now?
10:09How serious is the threat?
10:13I think in the big picture,
10:15there hasn't been significant change.
10:18Russia is stuck in Ukraine.
10:21Ukraine is defending herself.
10:22Russia is not only advancing,
10:24but actually losing some of the ground in Donbass.
10:27And Russia is unable to challenge NATO militarily.
10:33But, of course, Russia's warfare doctrine
10:35doesn't include only conventional military tactics.
10:39It also includes submilitary, subconventional warfare.
10:43And that is what sometimes is called hybrid,
10:46which is too fluffy and too nice to actually be characterized.
10:50What it is, is sabotage.
10:52If necessary, it's killing of people,
10:54threats to the chiefs of military companies
10:58or actual possible implementation of those threats,
11:01if necessary.
11:01We saw attack on Leipzig airport,
11:05massive cyberattacks,
11:07constant cyberattacks everywhere,
11:10information, disinformation attacks,
11:12hostile activities elsewhere.
11:14So, it's everything that doesn't necessarily involve
11:17direct military attack,
11:19but it's still part of Russia's doctrine.
11:21Madam, are you concerned that what we are seeing
11:24is moving beyond hybrid warfare
11:26into a more direct military confrontation with Russia?
11:30And does Moscow feel emboldened
11:32by Trump's pressure campaign?
11:35As I said, for now,
11:37the military evaluation and assessment
11:41is the same for the whole of NATO,
11:43also here in the Baltic states,
11:45that Russia is enabling military to challenge NATO.
11:49So, that means it cannot militarily attack
11:55because it doesn't have sufficient capabilities
11:58and, again, it's stuck in Ukraine.
12:01But, of course, we see other developments.
12:05We see that Belarus, enabled by Russia,
12:08is pushing massive groups of illegal migrants
12:11against the border of the EU and NATO,
12:13and that's the border in Latvia.
12:15So, we are defending that border,
12:17but we see that there is an organizational
12:21sort of aspect to it all,
12:23that it's not just happening by itself.
12:26And groups of 20 and more people
12:28trying to climb over the border,
12:31tunnels, you know,
12:33people stealing cameras on the border.
12:35So, there is a sort of tension,
12:39quite clearly, that is present.
12:41And do you believe NATO's eastern flank
12:44is sufficiently protected today?
12:47Yes or no?
12:49Yes, we have 14 allies with us here in Latvia.
12:55Canadians, you know, neighbors,
12:59and Polish, and Slovaks, and others.
13:01So, we have not only Latvian-owned defense forces,
13:06but also our NATO allies together
13:08and various capabilities for the air,
13:11for the land, for the sea,
13:13to make sure that we deter.
13:16NATO is deterrence.
13:18NATO's KPI is peace.
13:20It's a peace organization,
13:21and it has been successful
13:23since its foundation in 1949.
13:25So, we have to continue that.
13:26All right.
13:27Baiba Braje, the Latvian foreign minister,
13:30thank you so much for your time this morning.
13:33The Saudi capital, Riyadh,
13:35is facing a major security crisis
13:37after a deadly missile attack
13:39on King Khalid International Airport
13:40killed at least 12 people
13:42and injured more than 300.
13:44Saudi Arabia is vowing a firm response,
13:47while the Houthis,
13:48suspected to be behind the attack,
13:50are warning airlines and passengers
13:52to stay away from Saudi airports.
13:54With Riyadh's main airport closed
13:56and tensions escalating,
13:57the question now is
13:59how far this confrontation could spread
14:01and whether the U.S.
14:03could be drawn directly into it.
14:05For more on this,
14:06let's head over to Doha
14:07to our correspondent,
14:09Laila Humeyra.
14:10Good morning, Laila.
14:11So, Saudi Arabia is dealing
14:13with the aftermath
14:14of this deadly attack
14:16on Riyadh's airport.
14:18What's the latest?
14:21Good morning, Stefan.
14:22That's right.
14:22As you said,
14:23for the second straight day,
14:24Houthi rebels have struck
14:26the Saudi Arabian capital,
14:27plunging the region deeper
14:29into a major security crisis.
14:31On Sunday,
14:31a new Houthi projectile
14:33hit passenger terminals
14:35at Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport,
14:37causing a fire to break out
14:39and multiple injuries.
14:40That, of course,
14:41follows Saturday's devastating strike,
14:43which killed 12 people
14:44and injured more than 300 others.
14:47Now, as you said,
14:48all operations in the main airport
14:50have been fully suspended
14:52and the Houthi rebels
14:53have claimed responsibilities
14:54for these attacks,
14:55but they've also accused
14:56the Saudi-led coalition
14:57of killing civilians
14:58at its airport
14:59in the capital, Sana'a,
15:00over the last couple of days.
15:02Now, in Washington, D.C.,
15:03U.S. President Donald Trump
15:04says that he has condemned
15:07these attacks,
15:07but he has also stated
15:09that they are weighing,
15:10considering possibly joining
15:12the military campaign
15:13against Houthi rebels in Yemen.
15:15Of course, the Houthi rebels
15:16have since now targeted
15:18a lot of Saudi Arabia's
15:20energy, key civilian
15:22and air infrastructure as well.
15:24Now, all these escalations,
15:25Stefan, point to a continuation
15:27of the war
15:28and effectively opening up
15:30a new front in this regional conflict.
15:31We're possibly looking at months
15:33of uncertainty and instability
15:34in this region.
15:35And, Laila, Iran has been carrying
15:38out major missile tests,
15:40indicating that it's ready
15:42to be in this war longer
15:43than we thought capable.
15:45At the same time,
15:47the U.S. seems to be reassessing
15:49and repositioning its assets
15:51and bombers in the region, too.
15:52What does this mean for the war,
15:54even as de-escalation efforts
15:56remain in place?
15:59That's right.
16:00As you say, Iran has raised
16:01the regional stakes
16:02to a whole new level
16:03by test-firing
16:04multiple ballistic missiles.
16:05Now, experts say
16:07this shows, clearly confirms,
16:09how much Tehran is capable
16:10still of producing
16:11those drones and missiles,
16:13even after months
16:14of heavy bombing.
16:15The U.S. on its side
16:16has also been reassessing
16:18its military assets
16:18in the region,
16:19redeploying bombers
16:20and refueling planes
16:22and aircraft carriers
16:23and such.
16:24And U.S. President Donald Trump
16:25has ruled out
16:26any new military action
16:28before the November 3rd
16:29midterm elections
16:30by Iranian officials
16:31have said that
16:32they will ignore
16:33any sort of rhetoric
16:34coming out of the White House,
16:35essentially saying
16:36that they are locked in
16:37for a prolonged
16:38and long-term conflict.
16:40And, of course, this is...
16:43That's all.
16:44Thanks.
16:45All right.
16:46That was our correspondent
16:47Lyra Humeyra in Doha.
16:49Thank you very much.
16:51From the Middle East
16:52to France now.
16:53The country is facing
16:54a dangerous economic
16:55and political balancing act.
16:57Thousands of students
16:58are taking to the streets,
17:00demanding more resources
17:01in better conditions,
17:03while the government
17:03is struggling
17:04to repair public finances
17:06already under severe pressure.
17:08With the deficit
17:10around 5% of GDP
17:11and public debt
17:12approaching 120%,
17:15Paris has very little room
17:17to spend its way
17:18out of the crisis.
17:19So, how serious
17:21is the risk
17:22of a wider economic
17:22and political crisis?
17:24To get to the bottom of this,
17:25I'm now joined
17:26by French economist
17:27and essayist
17:28Nicolas Bouzou.
17:29Good morning to you.
17:31Good morning.
17:32So, you said,
17:34already in June,
17:35that the situation
17:36in France
17:37was a catastrophe.
17:39Well, things
17:40haven't gotten
17:40any better since.
17:42Is France
17:42the sick man of Europe?
17:45Yeah, I think
17:46that the situation
17:47is very tough
17:50because we are
17:50at the end
17:51of a system.
17:52I mean that we have
17:53in France,
17:54as you know,
17:54a very big
17:55welfare state,
17:56very large,
17:57so it's a good thing.
17:58but the economic growth
18:00is not more
18:03strong
18:04to be able
18:06to support
18:06this welfare state.
18:08And that's why
18:09we suffer
18:11from a huge deficit,
18:12from rising
18:13public debt.
18:15And the most
18:16worrying point
18:17is that
18:18our long-term
18:18interest rate,
18:19they are going
18:21to 5%,
18:22and economists
18:23know that 5%
18:24for an economy
18:26like France
18:26is an unsensensible
18:30interest rate.
18:31I mean that
18:32the public debt
18:33is automatically
18:35rising.
18:36So yes,
18:36it's quite a difficult situation.
18:38Nicolas,
18:38what worries
18:39financial markets more?
18:40France's level of debt,
18:42its persistent deficits,
18:43or the apparent
18:44political inability
18:45to agree on
18:46spending cuts?
18:48Both.
18:49The public debt
18:50is huge,
18:51but other countries
18:53have big public debt.
18:54So I think
18:55that the main problem
18:56is a public deficit.
18:57I mean the fact
18:58that we are not able
18:59to reduce
19:00our public debt.
19:01But the second problem,
19:03you're perfectly right,
19:04is the political
19:06uncertainty,
19:07because the government
19:08has not a majority
19:09at the parliament.
19:11But we have
19:12a presidential election
19:13in five months,
19:15which is
19:16very,
19:17very large.
19:18Far-right
19:19can win,
19:20but far-left
19:21can win.
19:22And their programs
19:23are not very precise
19:24in the challenge
19:26of the public debt.
19:28And looking ahead
19:29at the presidential election
19:31next year,
19:32with both extremes
19:33gaining ground,
19:34is the worst yet to come?
19:36Very briefly.
19:37No.
19:38In France,
19:40the economic situation,
19:41basically,
19:42we have some strength.
19:44Electricity,
19:45a very strong
19:45corporate sector,
19:47a government,
19:48which is
19:49quite
19:51competent,
19:51I mean.
19:52So,
19:53I think that
19:54basically,
19:54the situation
19:55is not so bad,
19:56but we are facing
19:58a big problem
19:59of public finance.
20:01So,
20:01it's true.
20:01But if we solve that,
20:03France will be okay.
20:03All right.
20:04That's all.
20:04We have time for Nicolas Bouzou.
20:05Thank you so much
20:06for helping us understand
20:07what's going on
20:08in France right now.
20:09That does it
20:10for us today.
20:11Thank you for watching.
