[00:01:32] Good evening, welcome to 24 hours. Pedro
[00:01:35] Passos Coelho admits he is considering returning to politics if
[00:01:40] image of missiles pointed at the country needs him if the PSD is not
[00:01:42] successful. Donald Trump announces a ceasefire on energy
[00:01:46] infrastructures. The truce between Ukraine and Russia
[00:01:49] surprised Zelensky, who stated that
[00:01:53] a solution can be found for the the Russians continue to bomb. Riyadh Airport was
[00:01:56] again attacked by the Houthis this Sunday after
[00:02:00] Saturday's offensive killed 13 people and injured another
[00:02:03] 300, Pope Leo XIV revealed that he has a
[00:02:07] nodule in his lung and will be operated on in the coming days.
[00:02:22] Donald Trump announced a ceasefire on energy infrastructures between
[00:02:26] Russia and Ukraine, but Zelensky guarantees that he knows nothing
[00:02:29] about it. The announcement by the American president was made hours after the
[00:02:33] Ukrainian president had said that there would be
[00:02:36] presidential elections if there was a 60-day military
[00:02:40] truce.
[00:02:42] A few hours after Trump said it was time for elections in
[00:02:46] Monday, October Ukraine, the President of the United States announced an
[00:02:49] energy ceasefire with immediate effect, to stop
[00:02:53] attacks like this, in the Samara region of Russia, it is a
[00:02:56] crucial system for the export of crude oil. Trump
[00:03:00] writes that both countries agreed, but Moscow
[00:03:03] is silent, and Zelensky says it was news to him,
[00:03:06] despite having already argued that this is the first
[00:03:09] step towards ending the war.
[00:03:22] The first step is cease-fire energy is fire okay, if they want energy, we are open
[00:03:26] for this, don't attack us, don't kill our children.
[00:03:42] we also heard Zelensky already 16 and his
[00:03:48] Oriental aspects. And at its
[00:04:08] despite the tension with the American president, Volodymyr
[00:04:10] Zelensky guarantees that he continues to
[00:04:13] later, we don't even have the count on the support of the United States.
[00:04:17] And Volodymyr Zelensky says that after this ceasefire
[00:04:20] announcement, Russia attacked
[00:04:23] energy facilities in Ukrainian territory. In a
[00:04:26] social media post, the President
[00:04:28] ambition, they called for the of Ukraine explains that a power plant in Kharkiv was attacked
[00:04:32] tonight and that in the last week alone, the Russians carried out more than 200
[00:04:35] attacks against electrical facilities and another
[00:04:39] 17 targeted gas and
[00:04:42] oil facilities.
[00:04:46] Riyadh International
[00:04:49] we immediately committed ourselves to Airport was again targeted by Houthi rebels from Yemen this Sunday. This new attack
[00:04:52] caused at least one death and 11 injured. Saudi
[00:04:56] Arabia considers the attacks a war crime, the latter support.
[00:05:07] party should have reached For the second consecutive day, the main airport of Saudi
[00:05:11] Arabia was again under attack, but nothing comparable
[00:05:14] to what happened Saturday, the airport was
[00:05:17] like this, it was the worst attack in the country in over a decade,
[00:05:21] 13 people died, more than 300 were injured, they are
[00:05:25] of various nationalities, the Saudi Health Minister
[00:05:29] went
[00:05:29] to visit,
[00:05:37] how are you, God bless you, her father, God bless you,
[00:05:40] God bless you, may she be well, God willing.
[00:06:12] escalation in the conflict that has pitted Saudis,
[00:06:15] supporters of the Yemeni government and Houthi, rebel forces
[00:06:19] of this country, supported by
[00:06:21] Iran.
[00:06:29] From the UN Secretary-General to the Arab League, the tone is one of condemnation
[00:06:33] of the attacks, several European governments are advising their respective
[00:06:36] citizens not to approach Riyadh
[00:06:39] airport, the airport, in any case. This weekend
[00:06:43] it was closed.
[00:06:47] The Iranian Revolutionary Guard published in recent hours, an
[00:06:52] an aircraft carrier with a message: "We are
[00:06:56] waiting". In what seems an allusion to the sending by the United States of a
[00:06:59] third group of aircraft carriers and a
[00:07:03] unit of marine infantry to the Middle East. The
[00:07:06] forecast is that the force will arrive in the region in November.
[00:07:10] I recall that last week Donald Trump informed
[00:07:13] that there would be no new military actions against Iran before the
[00:07:16] legislative elections on November
[00:07:19] 3.
[00:07:22] And now José Pedro Teixeira Fernandes joins us, good
[00:07:25] evening, welcome. Let's look at these latest news
[00:07:29] of the day. Donald Trump announced this ceasefire on energy
[00:07:32] infrastructures, but it seems that neither Ukraine nor Russia
[00:07:35] knew about this ceasefire that was supposed to start immediately
[00:07:39] after this announcement. It's an announcement in that aspect. quite strange, but
[00:07:43] Trump always does things, or often things that
[00:07:47] are outside the usual diplomatic patterns,
[00:07:50] uh, the feeling is that there must have been some kind
[00:07:54] of conversations with Russia, uh, not
[00:07:57] with Ukraine, because Zelensky, according to public data, was even completely
[00:08:01] surprised when asked if he had agreed to a ceasefire,
[00:08:04] but Russia also didn't say
[00:08:08] anything, it's curious because looking at the Russian
[00:08:11] press. some manifestation,
[00:08:15] uh, the question is that Russia may also be playing here
[00:08:18] in this situation, knowing that Donald Trump is very
[00:08:21] interested in presenting some
[00:08:25] kind of agreement here, because this
[00:08:28] this measure
[00:08:31] is related to the diesel issue and to the
[00:08:35] agreement that Donald Trump made on Friday, at the beginning of the weekend,
[00:08:39] with Vladimir Putin, for the supply of diesel.
[00:08:42] to the United States, which naturally raised, both among allies and from
[00:08:46] the very beginning in Ukraine, and even within the Republican Party, considerable
[00:08:50] protest, uh, presenting a
[00:08:53] ceasefire in terms of attacks on
[00:08:56] energy infrastructures is certainly a way to
[00:08:59] justify this understanding with Vladimir Putin,
[00:09:03] uh, I don't know to what extent Russia in the conversations and Vladimir Putin with Donald
[00:09:07] Trump implied that it would be willing to do so, it seems that Trump
[00:09:10] anticipated what we heard from Zelensky,
[00:09:13] we heard, we read, by the way, Zelensky saying that even
[00:09:17] after this ceasefire announcement, Russia again attacked
[00:09:20] power plants, attacked, so this does not coincide at all with Donald
[00:09:24] Trump's statements, hh, it may be
[00:09:27] a statement also more aimed at the markets, in
[00:09:30] essence, trying to calm, I don't know
[00:09:33] and without more data it's difficult to evaluate, but it seems possible given
[00:09:37] that Zelensky has already come out to say that he is available if Russia also
[00:09:40] makes itself available, right. possible, but but it's a task that has
[00:09:44] proven very difficult so far, like everything that involves some
[00:09:47] peace negotiation with concrete results, we have had
[00:09:51] several times apparently even on the table this possibility of
[00:09:54] truces in the area of energy attacks, but the problem
[00:09:57] here is that for Ukraine, the attacks on Russia's energy
[00:10:01] infrastructures, more specifically on the refineries that are now at stake,
[00:10:04] uh, have proven to be a very
[00:10:08] effective weapon of war in the sense that they cause serious
[00:10:12] damage to what is fundamentally one of Russia's
[00:10:16] greatest, or probably even greatest, asset in terms of
[00:10:18] exports, the problem is
[00:10:21] that obviously Russia is also an
[00:10:24] important energy markets, it is
[00:10:27] under sanctions, naturally, but due to a
[00:10:31] set of circumstances that are not only related to the war between Ukraine and
[00:10:34] Russia, but also very much to the war in the Middle East and the issue of the
[00:10:38] Strait of Hormuz, uh, then with the refining capacities
[00:10:41] installed internationally in the United States, at this moment
[00:10:45] we don't have so much a shortage of gasoline, but we have
[00:10:49] especially a shortage of diesel, uh, Russia
[00:10:52] plays a relatively important role
[00:10:55] in this oil production that allows for easier diesel production
[00:10:59] in refining, which is precisely what is being attacked, but that is one of Ukraine's
[00:11:02] great war assets, it seems to you that this
[00:11:06] announcement is also somewhat related to a
[00:11:09] request that Trump made to Zelensky to leave the leadership of
[00:11:12] Ukraine, Zelensky came to say that he would hold
[00:11:15] elections if there was indeed this ceasefire in the
[00:11:19] bombardments, do you also think that this is a way for Trump to force
[00:11:23] what he came to say again.
[00:11:25] some break in trust from the United States in Ukraine? Perhaps
[00:11:29] so, things certainly have some relation. Uh, going back a bit
[00:11:32] and Trump again has at this moment a
[00:11:36] very negative very tense relationship with
[00:11:39] Zelensky, uh, because Trump had shown, at least since
[00:11:43] early September, a lot of displeasure, um, with the
[00:11:46] war strategy of Ukraine and specifically attacks on
[00:11:50] refineries in Russia, Zelensky repeatedly said
[00:11:54] that... that was a fundamental part of the military
[00:11:57] strategy to fundamentally force Russia into a
[00:12:01] serious negotiation. The question combined with what we saw this weekend,
[00:12:05] but uh it's
[00:12:08] difficult here also to understand
[00:12:12] if Trump put
[00:12:15] this just to provoke that situation of, well, it's time
[00:12:19] to find a new form of politics in Ukraine that facilitates
[00:12:22] negotiations or if it's just perhaps a thing. thing, I would say more
[00:12:26] short-term vindictive, because talking
[00:12:29] here's a quick note, Trump is usually quite vindictive
[00:12:33] about what he considers to affect his fundamental interests, not necessarily the United
[00:12:36] States, just remember that the souring of relations with
[00:12:40] Zelensky as soon as he entered the White House in this second term
[00:12:44] has some relationship that is not minor with the request he had made in his first term
[00:12:48] when he was campaigning with Joe Biden's son and with
[00:12:50] connections to Ukraine, so Zelensky ends up here
[00:12:54] getting, I would say, again caught in a gear where Trump
[00:12:58] wants a favor from Zelensky because he has midterm elections
[00:13:02] and Zelensky because he is here fighting for the survival of the state does not
[00:13:05] want to do it and probably is here in a process of
[00:13:09] revenge opening the way to some understanding with Russia and
[00:13:13] attacked Zelensky again on that issue he has been
[00:13:16] in power for many years he doesn't hold elections it only complicates the negotiation process I don't know
[00:13:20] if but it doesn't seem possible to hold elections in this context
[00:13:24] if he has some reason permanently
[00:13:27] under bombardments it is difficult to hold serious elections
[00:13:30] hence the 60 days and well that he speaks
[00:13:34] uh of course the question is once again
[00:13:37] whether both sides
[00:13:40] have conditions or have conditions I would say it's not even having conditions, it's whether they are
[00:13:44] sufficiently pressured by the United States to reach an
[00:13:47] understanding, we don't have many signs at this moment that this will
[00:13:50] happen, Russia's silence seems to be for now
[00:13:53] to gain time more than some...
[00:13:56] agreement on such a ceasefire, professor, looking at these recent attacks on Riyadh
[00:14:00] airport, are the Houthis here supported by
[00:14:04] Iran escalating the conflict,
[00:14:07] saying that if Saudi Arabia needed it, it would also enter these
[00:14:11] confrontations, well, hh, the
[00:14:15] Houthis at least are trying to show and it seems to me that perhaps more than
[00:14:19] escalating in some way it is always an escalation because
[00:14:23] there is seriousness, people died.
[00:14:25] in the center of the capital of Saudi Arabia, it affects
[00:14:29] the security, in essence, the image of security of Saudi Arabia, I would even say that it is
[00:14:32] probably the main intention of the Houthis at this moment, eh,
[00:14:36] because after those, eh, advances they had and even managed
[00:14:39] to reach the coast and control points of the, eh, in essence,
[00:14:43] near the Red Sea, eh, there was here a, eh, a
[00:14:46] counteroffensive by the forces supported by Saudi Arabia
[00:14:50] and probably the Houthis see in these attacks on the Saudi capital a
[00:14:54] way to... seriously affect the Saudi image
[00:14:57] and the feeling of security in the capital
[00:15:00] and gain, in essence, by demonstrating strength that they
[00:15:04] perhaps don't have so much, but but they cause a serious problem here for Saudi
[00:15:07] Arabia, now the question here has, eh, in
[00:15:11] essence, also several contours, one was the one that was implicit in your question,
[00:15:15] which is what the United States will do if it will do something different from what it has
[00:15:18] done, eh, Donald Trump has said that he does not want to
[00:15:21] get directly involved in the confrontation with the Houthis to support Saudi
[00:15:25] Arabia but it is fundamentally support in the rear
[00:15:28] for locating targets. The second question that we sometimes don't focus on much and is
[00:15:32] also important is, and these new allies, they are not new, but
[00:15:36] now they have an alliance. formalized that is the case of Turkey and
[00:15:39] Pakistan, what is their role, eh, eh, in this
[00:15:43] conflict that is increasingly seriously affecting Saudi Arabia,
[00:15:47] well, there has been some military support, h, at least
[00:15:50] advisors and some defense systems, but it doesn't seem
[00:15:54] enough to stop this issue with the Houthis, so, eh, there is
[00:15:57] here a, a double complex scenario, eh,
[00:16:00] where, in essence, also Donald Trump, perhaps, eh, by not
[00:16:03] giving more support to Saudi Arabia also.
[00:16:07] a way not to get too involved in the conflict, but also perhaps a way to show
[00:16:11] Saudi Arabia that it depends, it continues to depend much more on the
[00:16:14] United States than it imagined, perhaps by having now this
[00:16:18] alliance with Turkey and Pakistan, very well, José Pedro Fernandez, thank you for the
[00:16:22] analysis, good evening, thank you, good
[00:16:23] evening,
[00:16:26] the Pope will be operated on to remove a
[00:16:30] nodule from his lung, it was detected in routine examinations and is
[00:16:33] circumscribed, Leo XIV made the announcement in St.
[00:16:36] Peter's Square.
[00:16:39] It was from the window of the apostolic palace that Pope Leo
[00:16:42] XIV gave the news.
[00:16:45] Dearest ones. Recently, during some
[00:16:48] check-ups, the doctors found a
[00:16:52] circumscribed nodule in my lung. It
[00:16:56] was detected at a very early stage and well
[00:16:59] localized. Leo XIV is 71 years old, he will be
[00:17:03] operated on in the coming days and the expected period of hospitalization for the pre-operative.
[00:17:37] we are truly sorry because the Holy Father
[00:17:41] is, let's say, new and we all
[00:17:44] feel a great concern like for a close family member,
[00:17:48] this worries us so much, we hope that
[00:17:51] everything will be resolved for the best
[00:17:55] better pretty soon because it's
[00:17:58] only a little time that is there
[00:18:02] so hope better for him I think
[00:18:06] that
[00:18:37] who were in St. Peter's Square and confirmed the visit to the
[00:18:40] country. Here, reactions to the Pope's
[00:18:44] announcement multiplied. Américo Aguiar also praises
[00:18:48] the simplicity of Leo XIV. Dozens of faithful
[00:18:51] wish him a speedy
[00:18:53] recovery.
[00:18:56] A few hours after the announcement of Pope Leo XIV,
[00:18:59] wishes for a speedy recovery are added, but above all
[00:19:03] praise for the attitude of the leader of the Catholic Church. It was
[00:19:07] a...
[00:19:11] his simplicity, which I think he has a lot of, for me I think he has a lot of John Paul II
[00:19:15] events
[00:19:18] simplicity made him tell all Christian
[00:19:21] people to pray for him, always very sad
[00:19:25] news for anyone, not that it's him or
[00:19:28] especially really a man that we miss, very, very, very
[00:19:32] sad news, I ask a lot, I will ask
[00:19:34] already, I ask every day. Ask a lot for
[00:19:38] him, because everyone has their place, but undoubtedly this one also captivates
[00:19:42] people a lot, I think he will achieve a lot for the world
[00:19:46] and for peace. At the inauguration of the new Eucharistic sanctuary of
[00:19:50] Balazar in Póvoa de Varzim, the Vatican representative
[00:19:53] in Portugal, the Archbishop of Braga, who also did not
[00:19:57] forget Leo XIV. that
[00:19:59] he told me that he intends
[00:20:03] to come to Portugal, because for him he
[00:20:06] spoke emphatically.
[00:20:09] that he will come, he will come when
[00:20:12] is very complex, a joyful surprise to
[00:20:16] be the Pope himself communicating this at the end of the Angelus
[00:20:20] prayer there at the window, I greatly admired the
[00:20:23] gesture, and
[00:20:26] pray for him, on social media, Cardinal
[00:20:30] Américo Aguiar took the opportunity to leave a
[00:20:32] tribute to the simplicity of the Holy Father and add a
[00:20:36] word of...
[00:20:38] It is very important for the days we live in that the news was
[00:20:42] given directly by the Pope and with all this
[00:20:46] transparency, simplicity and humanity. We are together
[00:20:50] with the Pope in these days that are certainly of some
[00:20:53] sensitivity, but I am convinced that it will be something almost
[00:20:56] routine. In a statement, the Portuguese Episcopal Conference
[00:20:59] also expressed spiritual closeness to the
[00:21:02] Pope and wished Leo XIV
[00:21:06] a quick and full recovery.
[00:21:10] The Minister of Finance says that a return to the budget
[00:21:14] deficit would be inexplicable, with this budget, the
[00:21:17] statements later in this newspaper.
[00:21:24] Pedro Passos Coelho admits a return to political life if the
[00:21:28] PSD is not successful, the former
[00:21:31] prime minister argues that the party had an
[00:21:34] obligation to have tried an agreement with Chega and the Liberal
[00:21:38] Initiative at the beginning of the legislature to govern
[00:21:41] for 4 years. In an interview with CIC
[00:21:44] Notícias, Passos Coelho admitted that the government has a transformative
[00:21:48] ambition but has been slow to advance with
[00:21:51] reforms.
[00:21:55] for several years he opted for silence so as not to harm the
[00:21:58] party, to which he says he remains emotionally and
[00:22:02] unreservedly attached. Pedro Passos Coelho denies seeking
[00:22:05] prominence, but does not close the door to an eventual return to active
[00:22:09] politics. If I had to consider such a
[00:22:13] possibility, it would correspond to a situation in which the PSD,
[00:22:16] visibly, did not have the possibility of delivering...
[00:22:20] a satisfactory result, given what the
[00:22:23] country needs, for me to think that I
[00:22:26] could do it, if that happens, I will consider it and
[00:22:29] take the initiative, if necessary. says the country plunged
[00:22:33] into day-to-day management and insists on the need for
[00:22:36] reforms. acknowledges that the current parliamentary geometry is
[00:22:40] complex, but says that the PSD should have tried
[00:22:43] solutions to guarantee support for a program capable of
[00:22:47] being executed throughout the legislature. a very complicated
[00:22:50] political trap, because now it's too late to
[00:22:54] go back and try to make a legislative agreement that was
[00:22:57] rejected. On the other hand, a good part
[00:23:01] of the reforms that are worthy of that name, which are reforms and which
[00:23:04] need popular support and which need parliamentary support,
[00:23:08] probably don't have it, he's making an appeal for them to reach an agreement, I think
[00:23:12] so, because remember the responsibility is not only the PSD's, it's because the country is not
[00:23:16] governable, the responsibility here also has to be
[00:23:18] Chega's and the... and the Liberal Initiative's, what is your opinion about
[00:23:22] André Ventura? Do you know him well? I know enough to think that he is a
[00:23:26] person, eh, who has a lot of merit or he wouldn't have
[00:23:30] created a party with the expression that it has today, and that
[00:23:34] he is a politician who has shown a remarkable
[00:23:37] power of initiative, praises that
[00:23:40] reinforce the appeal for a majority that gives the government conditions to
[00:23:44] move forward, criticizes the pace of changes and makes
[00:23:47] comparisons. the PS, there is no doubt, has a government
[00:23:51] program that has some transformative ambition, but
[00:23:55] that transformative ambition has been slow to
[00:23:58] go from the government program to government actions and
[00:24:01] to the reality of the country, today, for example, I think the
[00:24:05] state no longer has the authority to
[00:24:08] rehabilitate the national health service as it needed to be rehabilitated, I saw
[00:24:12] nothing change during the nine years of the socialist party in government,
[00:24:16] on the contrary, there was degradation of public policy, I see nothing after two years.
[00:24:34] evaluations about a position he says he does not
[00:24:37] desire.
[00:24:40] André Ventura interviewed this Monday on RTP, an interview
[00:24:44] conducted by journalist Vítor Gonçalves in the news at
[00:24:47] night on RTP Notícias. The first of a
[00:24:51] series of interviews with party leaders throughout
[00:24:54] the week. The Prime Minister calls for an end to the
[00:24:58] conjuncture that has led to the folly of rising oil
[00:25:01] prices. In São João da Madeira, Luís Montenegro criticized those who
[00:25:04] want to import instabilities into
[00:25:06] the country.
[00:25:10] It is the end of a particularly intense week. The government delivered the
[00:25:13] budget, the Prime Minister received the US Secretary of State
[00:25:17] Marco Rubio. In São João da Madeira. He wanted to share that
[00:25:21] among the topics of conversation was the escalation of fuel
[00:25:24] prices, we must resolve in the coming weeks,
[00:25:27] in the coming times this, eh,
[00:25:30] folly of penalizing economies and
[00:25:34] people in general where no one is taking advantage
[00:25:38] and and and resolving this
[00:25:41] impasse, I take this opportunity to be in one of the municipalities that
[00:25:45] export the most to return to the budget and the defense of the decision to
[00:25:48] lower corporate tax to 18%.
[00:25:52] There's no point in demagoguery about that, and some
[00:25:56] say that
[00:25:58] when we lower corporate tax, when we lower
[00:26:02] taxes on companies, we want to give
[00:26:05] more money to entrepreneurs, to
[00:26:08] entrepreneurs, to those who are the most
[00:26:12] advantaged in society, that is a very,
[00:26:15] very limited view of public
[00:26:18] policies. He recognizes that the political moment is difficult
[00:26:22] and blames the international context, but says that the country has guaranteed
[00:26:26] economic and financial stability. some want to
[00:26:30] bring instabilities, even from a social point of view. into the country, they will not
[00:26:33] achieve that objective either, which is a
[00:26:37] negative objective, one thing is to talk about the problems, another thing
[00:26:40] is to want to import instabilities that have no place here. The
[00:26:44] Prime Minister does not let go of the image of a growing economy,
[00:26:48] says he knows that day by day it is more difficult for Portuguese people,
[00:26:52] but asks not to
[00:26:54] falter.
[00:26:57] The PS requested an urgent parliamentary hearing with 16
[00:27:00] entities representing economic and social sectors affected by the
[00:27:04] increase in energy costs, the party
[00:27:07] intends a diagnosis of the different realities and impacts
[00:27:11] to be able to identify eventual measures. In the request sent
[00:27:14] to the parliamentary committee on environment and energy, the PS explains that
[00:27:18] these impacts are not distributed homogeneously among the different
[00:27:22] sectors, and therefore wants to hear in parliament the business confederation.
[00:27:25] the Confederation of
[00:27:27] Farmers.
[00:27:31] The Finance Minister says it would be inexplicable to return
[00:27:34] to a budget deficit, if the IPS approve
[00:27:38] measures in the budget, he responds to the accounts of Mário
[00:27:41] Centeno, who speaks of incompetence in the management of public
[00:27:45] accounts. It is not unheard of,
[00:27:49] minister and former minister disagree on the accounts, one
[00:27:52] pulled the country out of chronic deficits and accuses the current one of leading
[00:27:56] it back into negative territory, the budget
[00:27:59] presented and initially approved.
[00:28:02] Miranda Sarmento devalues Centeno's calculations, who
[00:28:06] says he was hasty. And
[00:28:08] it would be inexplicable, and I repeat, irresponsible, after a very
[00:28:12] difficult year 26 and it was possible
[00:28:15] to maintain the balance of public accounts, even against many, against many
[00:28:19] forecasts and predictions that now in 2027 due to negative
[00:28:23] coalitions of the PS and Chega, the country would be thrown into a budget
[00:28:26] deficit. This is not about the devil, these are pure and simple errors,
[00:28:30] they are errors in policy management. there is no devil here, it is
[00:28:34] just incompetence in a way in the way budgets
[00:28:38] are then executed, we can
[00:28:42] after such a deviation have some
[00:28:45] credibility in relation to what was presented to us for the 2027
[00:28:48] account, I have doubts because I don't know
[00:28:52] exactly where public spending will
[00:28:55] stop, I think it was a bit hasty, there is no
[00:28:59] problem in net spending, nor any problem. in the control
[00:29:03] account and whoever presents other values has to
[00:29:06] explain where these values come from, the current finance minister does not directly
[00:29:10] mention the former governor of the Bank of Portugal, whose
[00:29:13] forecasts, when he still held the position, never went down well with
[00:29:17] the current government. Now, without institutional
[00:29:20] restraints, Centeno does not hold back on criticism and
[00:29:23] questioned, once again, about a possible return to
[00:29:26] politics, he sees no point in saying
[00:29:29] never. Never is zero. zero
[00:29:33] is the absorbing element of multiplication, zero
[00:29:36] ends everything that is our learning, when
[00:29:40] we establish a zero in our lives, we
[00:29:44] don't get out of there and that's why
[00:29:47] never makes no sense to me, which doesn't
[00:29:50] mean it's probable or easy,
[00:29:54] which also doesn't mean it's completely out of
[00:29:58] the question.
[00:30:01] dozens of people... camped in Praça Dom João
[00:30:04] I in Porto decided to continue Saturday's protest against the
[00:30:08] rising cost of living and housing, an RTP team
[00:30:12] accompanied the protest tonight with tents in Porto that
[00:30:15] are expected to remain for the next few days.
[00:30:17] And
[00:30:21] there are dozens of tents spread across
[00:30:24] this square here in Porto, as night
[00:30:28] falls, some people are already
[00:30:32] going inside these tents. They are here in protest,
[00:30:35] they are appealing for a response to the rising
[00:30:39] cost of living, also to the high prices, the high
[00:30:42] prices of housing, and one of the people here is João, good evening
[00:30:46] João, are you staying here? Yes, exactly, we just
[00:30:50] decided in assembly, we're staying here another night, we're staying here
[00:30:53] until the new rental law is actually
[00:30:57] reversed, the new rental law, and this is an
[00:31:00] extension of the demonstration that... since yesterday, all over the country,
[00:31:04] do you also know if this desire and this decision happen in other
[00:31:08] cities? Yes, at this moment, we have information that the
[00:31:11] encampment only happens here in Porto, but we know that the feeling is the same in all cities
[00:31:15] and we appeal for all these
[00:31:18] escalations of these ramifications
[00:31:22] to also be shown in other cities because we know that discontent exists and therefore
[00:31:26] we appeal for people to take to the streets, an example here that we are trying
[00:31:29] to repeat is what happened in Madrid as well,
[00:31:32] these encampments also
[00:31:35] saw this strong protest hoping and even getting
[00:31:39] responses from the government yes, exactly, that is,
[00:31:43] we are doing as we did in Spain. However, it's not simply to
[00:31:46] copy, that is, in Portugal, the conditions are even worse
[00:31:50] than in Spain, considering the new rental law, or as we
[00:31:53] usually call it, the eviction law and in that sense, it is in that sense that
[00:31:57] we appeal for all trade unions, independent
[00:32:00] unions, movements and parties to join us here in an
[00:32:04] open assembly on Tuesday to discuss the next steps of the movement, because in fact
[00:32:07] we need some victories, for now it has already been decided that they will stay another
[00:32:11] night, but future protests.
[00:32:15] demonstrations, do you intend to stay here longer
[00:32:18] or is that not an option? Yes, we intend to stay here longer, we call on everyone
[00:32:22] to bring their things, to come with tents, with food, with water, all
[00:32:26] supplies are welcome, because in fact we need to fight against
[00:32:30] this new housing crisis that government after government continues and
[00:32:34] worsens, in that sense, as I was saying,
[00:32:37] we appeal for all trade unions, parties, movements
[00:32:41] to join us here in Praça Dom João I to have an open assembly
[00:32:44] for... the future of the housing movement, thank you João, and this
[00:32:47] is the feeling and desire of those who are
[00:32:51] camped here in the square in
[00:32:53] Porto, Praça Dom João I and they hope to be
[00:32:57] heard further away in Lisbon where the
[00:33:00] government is, they hope that this request for answers
[00:33:04] will happen and that
[00:33:08] housing crisis, rising cost of living in
[00:33:10] Portugal.
[00:33:13] The UGT wants dignity. of salaries and pensions, the
[00:33:16] criticisms of the state budget proposal were heard this weekend
[00:33:19] at the congress where the social
[00:33:23] bodies took office.
[00:33:25] It is the last time that Lucinda Damas presides over the UGT
[00:33:28] congress. And it was this relationship of trust, of
[00:33:32] companionship and above all loyalty, that made
[00:33:35] these 13 years for me, perhaps the best 13 years
[00:33:39] of my life and I'm not lying. The succession was not consensual at
[00:33:42] first, after Francisco Pimentel's name
[00:33:45] did not gather enough support, it was Rosa Sousa, union leader and former
[00:33:49] mayor, chosen for the presidency, who arrives with criticisms
[00:33:52] of the government and promises to keep salary increases among the
[00:33:56] priorities. Coming from public administration, I understand
[00:33:59] that having
[00:34:02] 40 cents per kilometer at the price of gasoline
[00:34:05] is paying to work. We have had difficult negotiations
[00:34:08] in public administration many times, but we have
[00:34:11] always found a common ground and that will be our
[00:34:15] logic. In the executive leadership, there is no change. Mário Mourão was re-elected
[00:34:19] secretary-general and begins a second term, he warns that the dignity
[00:34:23] of salaries and pensions cannot wait and challenged the government
[00:34:27] again and social
[00:34:30] in what he calls a minimum budget. We do not
[00:34:34] solve problems by occasionally
[00:34:37] attributing a subsidy or
[00:34:41] a pension, an extraordinary
[00:34:44] amount. because we are postponing people's problems,
[00:34:48] there is no sensitivity from the government to
[00:34:51] know that if one year it was necessary to reinforce the minimum
[00:34:55] wage, it was this one that the government
[00:34:58] continues to be insensitive to this challenge and this appeal.
[00:35:02] The demands that marked the congress also echoed outside the venue, the
[00:35:06] bankers protested against the proposed 2% salary
[00:35:08] increase. They held 5 minutes of silence to mark the
[00:35:12] lost purchasing power. The increases in... the food basket or
[00:35:16] what are fuel prices, the value of rents is not with
[00:35:20] a 2% increase, we consider it a fair value to
[00:35:23] restore that purchasing power, we feel that we are falling behind, because it is a
[00:35:27] sector that cannot complain about productivity, naturally, the
[00:35:30] unions promise to continue to pressure the banks in the coming weeks, the
[00:35:34] protest culminates on November 30 with a national
[00:35:36] strike,
[00:35:55] debate a popular petition for a possible return to the European
[00:35:59] Union. More than 112,000 subscribers
[00:36:02] argue that Brexit is not working. The parliamentary
[00:36:06] debate is scheduled for this Monday in the historic
[00:36:09] hall of Parliament. The British Prime Minister stated that the
[00:36:13] government will analyze all options, the Office for
[00:36:16] Budget Responsibility emphasizes that, due to Brexit,
[00:36:20] the UK's economy and trade have weakened,
[00:36:23] a situation that may worsen.
[00:36:28] At least 139 people died, including 15
[00:36:32] children, in the shipwreck of a vessel heading for
[00:36:36] Yemen, with 84
[00:36:38] missing.
[00:36:42] This is what remains of another tragedy at sea. They fled
[00:36:46] insecurity and poverty on a boat trip that did not reach its
[00:36:50] end. On Friday morning, 305
[00:36:53] people left Djibouti and did not reach their destination,
[00:36:57] Yemen.
[00:37:23] and the families who lost loved ones or remain without news of their relatives.
[00:37:28] According to United Nations accounts, in 2025, there were more than
[00:37:31] 900 migrants reported dead or missing on the eastern
[00:37:35] route, which connects the Horn of Africa and Djibouti to
[00:37:39] Yemen.
[00:37:42] In the United States, Hurricane Isaias caused
[00:37:46] four deaths and damaged roads and buildings.
[00:37:49] 45 thousand people are still without
[00:37:52] power.
[00:38:58] but all of our freezers are all bolt locked shut so i
[00:39:01] really there again if open it lose about 10 degrees every time open it
[00:39:05] but recent data reveals that 45 people
[00:39:09] are still without power thousands of electricity
[00:39:13] sector workers on the ground we don't really have
[00:39:16] exact date or time but we're just working around the clock to restore it
[00:39:20] and doing our best and our fastest work we can do to get everybody's power back
[00:39:23] on just stay away from it and call it in and we'll be up there.
[00:39:30] A state of emergency was declared in Florida, Alabama and
[00:39:33] Georgia, which will receive the necessary resources and
[00:39:36] support to the affected areas. The
[00:39:40] situation is calmer, yet heavy rain is expected to continue
[00:39:43] to affect the country. The authorities warn of
[00:39:47] possible flash floods and
[00:39:49] floods.
[00:39:56] 36, we recall. Now the topics that are marking the
[00:39:59] news.
[00:40:01] Donald Trump announced a ceasefire on energy infrastructure
[00:40:05] between Ukraine and Russia to begin immediately, but
[00:40:08] Zelensky guarantees he knows nothing. Tonight, the Ukrainian
[00:40:12] president stated that after this announcement, Russia again
[00:40:15] attacked energy facilities in Ukrainian
[00:40:18] territory.
[00:40:21] Yemen's Houthis have already claimed responsibility for attacks against
[00:40:24] Riyadh International Airport and Saudi energy
[00:40:28] facilities. The airport was again attacked this Sunday, in just
[00:40:31] one week, it is the third time this airport has been
[00:40:34] hit.
[00:40:37] The Pope has a nodule in his lung, he will be operated on
[00:40:40] in the coming days. The announcement was made by himself at
[00:40:44] the end of the Angelus prayer in the
[00:40:46] Vatican.
[00:40:49] More than 45,000 people demonstrated this Sunday in
[00:40:52] Brussels against the lack of climate
[00:40:56] creation of... taxes for fossil
[00:40:59] fuel companies and a just climate
[00:41:03] transition.
[00:41:06] The prime minister appeals for an end to the situation that has led to the senseless rise in
[00:41:10] oil prices, in São João da Madeira, Luís Montenegro criticized
[00:41:14] those who want to import instability into the
[00:41:16] country.
[00:41:19] Pedro Passos Coelho admitted that he is considering returning to
[00:41:23] politics if the country needs him, if the PSD
[00:41:26] is not well successful. In an interview tonight
[00:41:29] with Sic Notícias, the former prime minister considered that the
[00:41:34] an agreement with Chega and the Liberal
[00:41:37] Initiative.
[00:41:42] The Algarve is on the drug traffickers' route, it is a point of
[00:41:46] supply for speedboats, but also the
[00:41:49] entry point for drugs into Europe. There are networks that
[00:41:52] rent houses on the Algarve coast to monitor police movements.
[00:41:56] It's not new, but it's gaining
[00:41:59] more and more strength in Portugal. The Algarve coast
[00:42:02] is part of the transit route for logistical support to drug
[00:42:06] trafficking networks. they are passing, let's say, here off the
[00:42:10] Algarve, maritime routes and that also implies that
[00:42:14] on land there is logistical support, namely fuel to
[00:42:17] supply the boats, in addition to this logistical fuel support there are others, there are other supports
[00:42:20] that are also established on land, there are large drug trafficking
[00:42:24] networks, namely originating in Spain. The positioning of the
[00:42:27] Algarve in Europe is the factor that most attracts
[00:42:31] drug traffickers. The Algarve and Portugal have a strategic position in Europe,
[00:42:34] therefore, it is here, if we look at Portugal, it is a
[00:42:38] tip of Europe, a gateway to Europe, eh,
[00:42:41] therefore, we have a privileged situation, a privileged
[00:42:45] location in relation to Europe and with the
[00:42:48] correlation with the Atlantic, along the Vicentine coast, both the
[00:42:51] maritime police and the GNR have detected some networks
[00:42:55] that rent local
[00:42:58] accommodation for this type of activity. These cases extend throughout the
[00:43:02] Algarve. The populations are increasingly attentive and
[00:43:06] concerned. This is the case of... residents on Farol Island in
[00:43:09] Faro, who suspect the illicit use
[00:43:12] of this old building. The authorities acknowledge the
[00:43:16] potential interest of the property, but rule out for now that
[00:43:20] recent, clandestine occupations are
[00:43:23] linked to drug trafficking. Even so, it is recognized that the
[00:43:26] identified networks are becoming increasingly
[00:43:30] dangerous. There has been a very important transformation
[00:43:33] here, which was the transition from hashish trafficking to cocaine trafficking, the
[00:43:37] amounts are substantially higher.
[00:43:40] 20 or 25 times higher than they were a few
[00:43:43] years ago and the frequency of many Spanish vehicles has already been caught, war weapons
[00:43:47] also seized, war weapons seized
[00:43:51] near situations that indicated
[00:43:54] unloading. In recent times, the pace of
[00:43:57] seizures has increased to almost every
[00:44:01] week.
[00:44:02] 204
[00:44:05] apartments for affordable rent are yet to be built
[00:44:08] in the municipality of Matosinhos since 2023. The
[00:44:11] municipality provided the land, but the Institute of Housing
[00:44:15] and Urban Rehabilitation did not proceed with the development. The
[00:44:18] president of the Institute says that the PRR financing
[00:44:22] failed, but guarantees, without giving dates, that the project will
[00:44:25] be carried out with funds from the European Investment Bank. of
[00:44:29] investment.
[00:44:33] There are three plots of land next to the Picultos Park in
[00:44:36] Matosinhos and they have an area of 8,170 square meters.
[00:44:41] In 2023, the studio of José Carvalho
[00:44:44] Araújo won the competition promoted by the Institute
[00:44:48] of Housing and Urban Rehabilitation to
[00:44:51] design the construction of 204
[00:44:54] apartments. We thought that it would be a
[00:44:58] quick, fast project, because it was included in the
[00:45:01] PRR and that didn't happen, we didn't even sign
[00:45:04] a contract. The Housing Institute planned to invest
[00:45:08] 35 million and 200,000 euros. Participating
[00:45:12] in a competition of this dimension brings costs to the teams, it is a large
[00:45:15] multidisciplinary team, as
[00:45:17] important as that is for us to be aware that we have to be
[00:45:21] structured to respond to such a program, I am sure that it will not
[00:45:25] be possible to do
[00:45:28] these constructions at the price that was planned, I don't know
[00:45:32] if 30%, if double will be enough to
[00:45:36] complete this project. The land was ceded by the Matosinhos
[00:45:39] city council in 2023. This year,
[00:45:43] the municipality sent two letters to the president of the Housing
[00:45:46] Institute, to understand when the project
[00:45:49] would advance. Three years
[00:45:53] land to build more housing, because
[00:45:56] we continue to have a waiting list of about 100
[00:45:59] people. Neither does the Iru give us feedback regarding the
[00:46:03] deadline for awarding the project and the deadline for the
[00:46:06] construction of the housing. The investment did not advance because the
[00:46:10] state did not have money available at the time to proceed with that investment, when I arrived at the Iru we
[00:46:14] were dealing with an investment of I05 of the PRR of 774 million
[00:46:17] euros, it was the money that was allocated to housing above and this value was completely
[00:46:21] insufficient for the number of dwellings that were intended, of the two letters sent
[00:46:25] to the president of the Iru, he never replied saying that it was a question of
[00:46:28] financing, time is running out, the municipality of Matosinhos cannot be held
[00:46:32] hostage to a decision that is taking too long. The
[00:46:35] president of the Housing Institute guarantees that the
[00:46:38] financing amount has been reinforced and that the Matosinhos
[00:46:42] project will be implemented, but he does not
[00:46:45] commit to dates. The minister, the prime minister signed a
[00:46:48] BIM European Investment Bank financing of 1.340 million, which
[00:46:52] added 511 million euros from the state budget, for a total of

[00:47:02] units are planned nationwide.
[00:54:51] 12, it's time to look at the newspaper covers that will
[00:54:54] be on newsstands, and we start with Diário de
[00:54:58] Notícias, prominently featuring a photograph of Donald Trump, war in
[00:55:01] Ukraine with the American president announcing
[00:55:05] an energy ceasefire. Zelensky didn't know, but he is willing
[00:55:09] to accept. In the headline, more than 8000
[00:55:12] teachers to be placed, but there are no teachers in
[00:55:15] schools. On the railway. High speed

[00:55:19] Monday.
[00:55:23] Moving on to the newspapers, now to the cover of Público, which also brings at the
[00:55:26] top this announcement by Donald
[00:55:30] Trump. Ukraine, Zelensky promises to organize

[00:57:12] Miranda Sarmento.
[00:57:16] This is a pragmatic budget. The minister
[00:57:19] says he will not fail to adjust his actions
[00:57:22] to inflation. Still on the budget, the government maintains a tighter grip on
[00:57:26] spending than the PS. The executive dismisses the
