00:13Good morning, it's Thursday, November 5th.
00:17You're watching Euronews and this is Europe Today.
00:21Our top stories.
00:23Democrats seized control of the U.S. Congress in yesterday's midterm elections,
00:27capturing both the Senate, where they gained at least seven seats,
00:31and the House of Representatives.
00:33It was a stunning nationwide rejection of Donald Trump,
00:36set to put the brakes on the final two years of his presidency.
00:40The Democratic landslide will give the party the power to block legislation,
00:44launch broad investigations into Trump's administration,
00:47and torpedo his judicial and senior government appointments.
00:51A cyber attack on several blood banks in France
00:55sought to raise temperatures to extremely high levels,
00:58but was thwarted before it could do any damage to blood products
01:02or harm patients in hospitals.
01:04The incident comes after supermarkets and several European countries reported
01:08that their fridges and freezers warmed up after they were remotely taken over,
01:13resulting in tons of spoiled food at a total cost of millions of euros.
01:17And Iranian lawmakers have threatened missile strikes on European countries
01:23hosting U.S. military bases, including Germany and Italy.
01:27Europe's assistance to America for an attack on Iran would have consequences,
01:31a member of the country's National Security Committee told Euronews.
01:35Meanwhile, government supporters hung a banner outside the German embassy in Tehran,
01:41saying Europe will pay the price for supporting Israel.
01:44Welcome to the program. I'm Stefan Grobe.
01:48The 2026 midterms will go down as one of the most sweeping repudiations
01:53of a sitting president in modern American history.
01:56Republican losses were so deep, so wide, so everywhere,
02:01that it would be weird to see this as anything but a massive repudiation of Trump,
02:06his agenda, his style, his rhetoric, and his presidency.
02:10Republicans are left with two more years of riding a very unpopular leader,
02:15managing a very unpopular war.
02:17Will this kill the party of Reagan and Bush for years to come?
02:21Joining me now from Washington is political analyst and best-selling author Eric Hamm.
02:26Good morning to you.
02:28It's good to be here. Thanks so much for having me.
02:30So, Trump lost much of his power and influence,
02:33but a trapped and embarrassed Trump could be even more unpredictable.
02:37How do you think he's going to react?
02:40That is a really good question.
02:42We do know that President Donald Trump already is coming across as consumitory.
02:47However, as you say, he does have two years left in office,
02:51and we know President Donald Trump likes to be the center of attention.
02:55And so I think he will use these last two years to do everything he can
03:00to make sure that he is at the forefront, even if it is for good or even for bad.
03:05Republicans in Congress will be a mostly old and mostly white minority caucus facing a younger
03:12and more diverse Democratic majority.
03:14Are Republicans now staring down potentially years of political insignificance?
03:20Well, look, if you go back to 2024, President Donald Trump made tremendous strides and inroads
03:26with African-American voters, Latino voters, and young people.
03:30Those were seen as the third rail of politics that were always seen as no-go zones for Republicans.
03:35However, President Donald Trump was able to break into those key communities,
03:41and many thought that that would lay the groundwork for a generation of new Republicans
03:46to submit their gains for years to come.
03:49However, we see just two years later, Democrats have actually clawed those gains back.
03:53And what it makes clear is these are voters that are up for grabs.
03:58And what people want more than anything are results.
04:00And look, now we're heading into the all-important 2028 presidential election
04:05where the White House now is in line.
04:07And so voters have to make – I mean, so these lawmakers now are on the –
04:13they are auditioning for that, and they have to actually make gains
04:17in order to keep those voters in line.
04:18Eric, let's talk about Texas for a second, where Republicans lost the races for senator,
04:24governor, attorney general, lieutenant governor, even railroad commissioner,
04:28and numerous congressional seats.
04:30What does this tell us about the presidential election in 2028?
04:35Well, many now believe that Texas could be in play.
04:38We're talking in an electoral-rich state that has always been the anchor
04:43of Republican presidential politics.
04:45Now, if Democrats can actually flip Texas, and they believe that they can,
04:50this could actually shape the presidential election and put a massive, massive number
04:56of electoral votes in the hands of Democrats.
04:58But Republicans are not going to go down without a fight.
05:01I think they are going to do everything they can to actually swing Texas back.
05:06But again, it will depend largely on how the new governor and, of course,
05:11a new Democratic-controlled Congress response to economic anxiety throughout the country.
05:16All right, political analyst Eric Hamm, thank you very much for your insights.
05:21The U.S. midterm elections were more than a political verdict on Donald Trump.
05:26They could also reshape the economic landscape of the world's largest economy.
05:30From Wall Street to the dollar, from interest rates to global trade,
05:35investors are watching closely what's going to happen now that Trump is weakened
05:39and what that means for their money.
05:42So, what should investors expect, especially in Europe?
05:46Earlier, I spoke to Xavier Volatier, head of Transatlantic Private Wealth,
05:50the U.S. branch of the French Banque Transatlantique.
05:53And I wanted to know whether the midterms could be a game-changer for European investors.
05:58Here's what he said.
05:59The Congress will probably try to work things around AI,
06:06especially that's the matter that we're most heard of.
06:10And that's probably the biggest changes that we're going to see in the upcoming weeks and months
06:15compared to the previous Congress we had here in the U.S.
06:19That should not be too much of a difference.
06:24I mean, the biggest difference we experienced the last few years were regarding the visas.
06:29I don't see many changes there, at least for the next time we're going to see that in the next
06:38few months.
06:39So, after that blue democratic wave, markets could reassess growth expectations, bond yields, and the dollar's trajectory.
06:48What would be the repercussions of such developments for Europe?
06:53Obviously, we saw that overnight.
06:55I think it's already turning around a little bit.
06:58And the main repercussions for Europe, I guess it's going back to your previous question also,
07:04is, again, we see a tremendous growth in the AI sector.
07:08And I think it's going to keep going for many years.
07:11And we experienced that as a wealth management team here in the U.S., affiliated to a French bank, as
07:19you know.
07:20We experienced more and more demand from U.S. clients willing to invest in Europe on a more personal side,
07:27obviously.
07:28But I think that's dragging a lot of growth in Europe also, especially in real estate.
07:35And the Republicans lost the election partly because of deep-seated economic insecurity.
07:42Is American optimism still the driving force behind their economy?
07:48Definitely.
07:49Definitely.
07:50I mean, I've been here for now 10 years.
07:53I studied here a little bit.
07:55I know you live here also, and I think that's the key component of the U.S.
08:01I mean, Americans stay optimists.
08:04And that's the main difference I experience every time I go back to Europe.
08:08Honestly, that's the thing that struck me every time.
08:11And I think that even if we are facing tough time here in the U.S. on inflation again, still,
08:18I mean, people are able to find jobs.
08:20Their unemployment rate is still very low.
08:22And that contributes to that optimism.
08:26And what would you advise a European investor who is heavily exposed to U.S. markets?
08:32Stay the course, hedge against political risk or diversify?
08:37I guess the key, as always, is diversification.
08:40You know, you experienced that the other way around two years ago when we saw tremendous requests from U.S.
08:48investors to diversify in currency, in assets, where we all witnessed the European market going up even, you know,
08:59in a larger number than U.S. markets last year.
09:02And I think that's also true the other way around.
09:06Diversification will always take the key.
09:12Xavier Volatier, head of Transatlantic Private Wealth in New York.
09:16Europe is also still digesting yesterday's landslide results from the U.S. midterm elections and what it all might mean
09:24for Europe and the war in Ukraine.
09:26Efforts to bring the war to an end have regained ground in recent weeks,
09:30with the Finnish president and Norwegian prime minister even holding talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
09:36Let's bring in our NATO correspondent, Shona Murray, who is in Helsinki, where she's been talking to several officials about
09:43what might lie ahead.
09:45Good morning, Shona.
09:46Firstly, what's the reaction been to the sweeping win for the Democrats?
09:53Well, good morning, Stefan.
09:54And, of course, it's very early to say exactly what will happen.
09:58But there is a bit of optimism that perhaps Donald Trump, because of the nature of the win,
10:02will have to listen to Congress more.
10:04And maybe things like the Lindsey Graham Act, which applies sanctions on Russia, that that might be implemented.
10:09Or, crucially, I heard to speak to some officials close to the foreign policy brief,
10:14who say that perhaps there will be a reshuffle in the White House administration,
10:17and you could see Pete Hegsett, the current Secretary of War or of Defense,
10:22that he might be removed and replaced.
10:23And he has a very confrontational relationship with Europe.
10:25So that's some of the optimism.
10:27Stefan?
10:28I understand there's another round of talks today on Ukraine.
10:33What can we expect here?
10:37Well, indeed, those talks are a prelude to next week's talks between Russia, Ukraine and the U.S. in Abu
10:43Dhabi.
10:43Now, they're technical and political.
10:45And what I heard from NATO allies just this morning is that one of the discussions will be the urgent
10:49need
10:50for Ukraine to have access to Patriot Interceptor missiles.
10:53There's a major stockpile shortage of these.
10:56And Sakur, the NATO chief military officer, is calling for seven countries within NATO to give them to Ukraine immediately.
11:03But those countries are resisting because unless they can get guarantees of replenishment by the United States,
11:09that guarantee isn't quite there.
11:11So that's really where we're talking about when it comes to interceptors.
11:14But of course, there's political discussions about ending the war.
11:17And we know that, as you mentioned earlier, the president, Stubb, here of Finland,
11:21alongside the Norwegian prime minister, held a talk with Putin just a few days ago,
11:26a 90-minute conversation.
11:27There is belief that maybe there could be a ceasefire or potentially a prisoner swap.
11:32But that's really what the hope is for the next round of discussions.
11:36It's not really going to be an end.
11:37However, there will be talks about post-security guarantees, post-war security guarantees.
11:43And in a few weeks, we'll also see Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State,
11:48coming to Brussels to meet his NATO allies.
11:50So that will be probably a key moment to see what the future of in relation to this administration
11:55and in relation to Europe will be.
11:57Stefan.
11:58All right, Shona Murray in Helsinki.
12:00Thank you very much.
12:02Reza Pahlavi, son of the last Iranian Shah and one of the main leaders of the opposition
12:07to the Tehran regime, is in Brussels this week to lobby for more sanctions and economic pressure on Iran.
12:14Yesterday, he met several members of the European Parliament.
12:17At a press conference, he called on the EU to show the same resolve as it has toward Russian President
12:24Vladimir Putin
12:24by uncovering hidden assets and freezing illegal assets linked to the regime.
12:31Afterwards, he spoke to Euronews' Vincenzo Genovese, who asked him about the changes in Washington.
12:36Take a listen.
12:37There are many Democrats in America who also believe that the Iranian regime is a major problem.
12:43It threatens national security for the U.S. and their interests, but also look at the region
12:48and the consequences of this regime to continue a policy of blackmail by taking hostages
12:53or disturbing maritime traffic through its proxies and helping the Houthis
12:57and the conflict that exists right now in the other straits.
13:00So ultimately, whether or not the conclusion is that the job needs to be finished
13:05may be a question that they all have to explore irrespective of the composition now
13:09of the House and the Senate back in the U.S.
13:11So my ask from the EU countries is, irrespective of your own political compositions,
13:18the cause of liberty and the cause of freedom in Iran and what will lead to ultimate stability
13:24as opposed to instability depends ultimately on Iranians being able to free themselves from this regime.
13:29And that should be their main policy focus, but also what can concretely be done
13:34to actually be an element that adds more pressure on the regime,
13:37that could be extending economic sanctions, but parallel to that also have more direct support for the Iranian people,
13:44which we believe in that momentum will cause even more defections from the regime,
13:48and that's what will lead ultimately to the regime's collapse and the liberalization of Iran.
13:53But the strikes against the regime caused the response of the regime,
13:58the closing of the Strait of Ormuz, which sparked a spike in the energy price,
14:02which is one of the main worrying for Europeans.
14:05What's your message to Europeans about that?
14:07The message is that when the animal is wounded and will seek revenge,
14:12do allow it to continue to live.
14:14And that's exactly what's at stake here.
14:17This regime has shown that it's willing to go all the way for its own survival,
14:21not just by silencing its own citizenry,
14:24but by now not only threatening maritime traffic,
14:28but attacking with missile attacks countries in the area,
14:31and perhaps even take action beyond that.
14:33You simply cannot allow this kind of terrorist regime continue to survive and exist.
14:39And you know the most important factor in this are the people of Iran themselves,
14:43who have risked their lives and are willing to die for the cause of freedom.
14:46Why not, for once, after 47 years,
14:48abandon the idea of appeasement and negotiations,
14:51thinking that that would offer you a guarantee of stability,
14:55and bet on the Iranian people as the element that will bring in the element of stability,
15:00because we are committed to the same values of liberty and freedom as you are,
15:03and enjoying it here in Europe.
15:05This regime doesn't.
15:06This regime executes everybody that stands for human rights and freedom in Iran.
15:10Europe has a tradition of standing with democracy and freedom.
15:13Why not today recognize that this regime will never be a reliable partner?
15:18It's only trying to buy time,
15:20take advantage of weakness in leadership and decision-making,
15:24whereas people every day are risking life and limb to say,
15:27we are your solution.
15:29Why don't you come to our help?
15:30Because we are going to fight the fight.
15:32Help us get to a point that we can securely come back to the streets
15:35and reclaim our country.
15:37This is the specific elements that will make a difference
15:40in how soon Iran can be liberated,
15:42as opposed to drag the conflict even further.
15:48Reza Pahlavi speaking to Vincenzo Genovese.
15:51A new warning about Europe's vulnerability to cyberattacks.
15:56From supermarket refrigeration systems across the continent
15:59to blood bank facilities in France,
16:01hackers are increasingly targeting the digital systems
16:04that keep our societies running
16:06and potentially putting lives at risk.
16:09Is this just cybercrime,
16:11or are we witnessing a new front in hybrid warfare against Europe?
16:15Joining me now is Professor Kevin Caron,
16:17cybersecurity expert at Ulster University in the UK.
16:20Good morning to you.
16:22Good morning.
16:23So what exactly are hackers doing?
16:26How can someone sitting behind a computer remotely
16:29take control of a supermarket's refrigerators
16:32or blood bank's cooling systems?
16:36Yes, these operational technology is becoming more common,
16:41especially in the wake of COVID,
16:44where a lot of technicians were not able to travel to remote sites.
16:48Therefore, it seemed to be easier to install remote monitoring systems as well,
16:54which can be logged into remotely.
16:56You're able to check the temperature,
16:58able to control the temperature.
16:59And, of course, these fridges, again,
17:01need evaporation circuits turned on daily, actually,
17:05to run so that the fridge doesn't become iced up, of course.
17:10Now, you know, on paper, it's a good idea, of course,
17:13but the fact is these were very weak.
17:16The controllers that are used to be able to log into from anywhere in the world,
17:23that one of them, for instance,
17:25doesn't have any updates for basically 10 years,
17:28the other one for five years.
17:30The flaws have been known for a number of years,
17:33the way that you can log in remotely without even needing to authenticate.
17:37And yet, of course, last month in France, again, fridges were attacked.
17:43And then this week, fridges were attacked again.
17:46So lessons were not learned the first time.
17:49On this note,
17:51so supermarket refrigerators are hardly considered a critical infrastructure,
17:55yet the failure can cause millions of euros and losses.
17:59Have companies underestimated the cybersecurity risks of everyday technology?
18:05Yeah, unfortunately, it seems not that people have to consider,
18:10and companies, of course, you know,
18:12does anything that can be connected to the Internet, should it be?
18:17In cases like this, best practice in cybersecurity was not handled.
18:22Quite often, the default passwords were never changed again.
18:27They didn't use any kind of what we call a VPN for good practice
18:31to access these units as well.
18:34So, in fact, there were so many things wrong.
18:37And it is not a sophisticated attack.
18:40In this case, AI was not used.
18:44But it's worth noting, in the last week,
18:47we have seen a dramatic rise in cyber attacks, as we speak.
18:53Unprecedented, actually.
18:56We have this common database,
18:58which is shared around the world by all the technology companies.
19:00Whenever an exploit is found, like in this case,
19:04this would have been recorded many years ago,
19:06it goes into a database.
19:07Ten years ago, this database,
19:09the average number of per month of exploits that were found
19:14was about 30 to 40.
19:16Last month, this common vulnerable exploitation database
19:20added a new 17,060 attacks.
19:28All right, Kevin Curran,
19:29Professor for Cybersecurity at Ulster University.
19:32Thank you for helping us understand the issue.
19:34And that does it for us today.
19:36Thank you for watching.
19:38I'm Stefan Grobe.
19:39Take care and see you tomorrow.
19:40We'll see you tomorrow.
19:42Bye-bye.
19:50Gracias por ver el video.
