00:00:14dead in the reservoir, three construction workers lost
00:00:19year. In the October their lives in the Algarve during maintenance
00:00:23celebrations are invited to work. Municipal police forced protesters to
00:00:26remove 50 tents in Porto, even so... a
00:00:30few dozen young people remain in a square demanding housing at
00:00:33fair
00:00:34prices.
00:00:38The Supreme Commander of NATO Allied Forces
00:00:39October 23 last year, depicting issued a warning to Russia. American General
00:00:43Alexus Grenkewich warned Moscow that the Alliance
00:00:47does not want war but is ready
00:00:56in full force to Portugal, temperatures could reach 30 degrees.
00:01:16hospitalization happens on October
00:01:26intoxicated. They were inside a water reservoir in...
00:01:30when they lost their lives, all three were Romanian
00:01:33citizens and inhaled toxic gases during
00:01:37maintenance work.
00:01:39It was almost one in the afternoon when the Loulé firefighters
00:01:43received the alert: three intoxicated workers
00:01:47inside a water reservoir, in Quinta do Lago.
00:01:51The three men involved were Romanian citizens aged
00:01:5421, 24, and 40. They had been
00:01:57waterproofing a pond in the garden of a
00:02:01private residence since the morning. The poor oxygen circulation inside the
00:02:05reservoir caused them to inhale the
00:02:08toxic gases emitted by the products being
00:02:11used. Despite the resuscitation maneuvers by the
00:02:14medical teams, the deaths of the three workers were declared at the
00:02:18scene. There are also three seriously injured, fellow workers who
00:02:21tried to help the victims. The necessary
00:02:24precautions were not taken, that is, that is, that is a certainty that we
00:02:28have, isn't it? In confined spaces, when more due care, when
00:02:32care, eh, collective or individual
00:02:35protection equipment is not used to work in these
00:02:39confined spaces, unfortunately the outcome is this and this is what we have before
00:02:43us, isn't it? What happened this
00:02:45more reforms, that is, if the Monday in the Algarve is a portrait of what happens in the
00:02:48country, it is the worst
00:02:51until October year for workplace accidents eh until
00:02:53August, 81, I believe, if the data we have is
00:02:57correct, fatal accidents
00:03:00this assembly. It is that... in recent years, about fatal accidents, 1/3
00:03:02are in construction, there is a real need to invest
00:03:06in prevention. The Authority for Working
00:03:09Conditions was called to the scene and is investigating the
00:03:12circumstances of the accident that took the lives of the three
00:03:16the country has plunged into day-to-day men. It is now important to
00:03:18river and the ascertain, for example, if the work was authorized and if the workers
00:03:22were in a regular situation.
00:03:25Luis Neves dismissed the Secretary General
00:03:29I gave some examples, for example, of Internal Administration. He acted and accused the Minister
00:03:31of political purge and unacceptable pressures.
00:03:35The now exonerated Secretary speaks of payments that he considers
00:03:38illegal to Cirespe and of Luis Neves' resistance to
00:03:42cutting waste in the structure.
00:03:46In a ministry that has had so little peace, there is still room
00:03:49for a new controversy. It involves Minister Luís Neves, who has not
00:03:53left the news, and a discreet ministry official
00:03:56who leaves with a bang. My name is Ricardo Carreira, Mr.
00:04:00Secretary General of the Ministry of Internal Administration. Ricardo
00:04:03Carrilho was dismissed this morning by the Minister. A note from the Internal
00:04:07Administration explained that the departure was due to a
00:04:09reorganization of the General Secretariat, the body that technically
00:04:13manages the ministry. But in an open letter in the newspaper
00:04:16Expresso, Ricardo Carrilho has another explanation for his
00:04:21if the wind departure. My dismissal, camouflaged
00:04:23under the bureaucratic pretext of giving a new
00:04:26direction, was nothing but a deception, it was a
00:04:30surgical political purge. In two decades of frontline
00:04:33public service, I have never been subjected to so much illegitimate pressure and
00:04:37such suffocating political interference as in the period when
00:04:45Republic was not chosen by Municipal police forced protesters to I served as Secretary General under the current tutelage of Luís Neves. In the text, which he called "The Dictatorship of
00:04:48Incompetence", he praised the work he himself developed and says that the
00:04:52reason for his departure is mainly related to Siresp and attempts to
00:04:56reform the organization responsible for emergency
00:04:59communication. The true crime that dictated my
00:05:02political sentence was precisely proposing the extinction of Sirés
00:05:06line, without PSA, a public company that has become a drain on
00:05:10public money and a democratic intermediary for
00:05:13luxury. Our internal audit proved that CIRS PSA
00:05:16receives from the state an average compensatory indemnity
00:05:19of 26 million euros annually since
00:05:222021, but the actual cost of operating the network does not
00:05:26exceed 14.8 million. The break
00:05:30must have been going on for some months. Ricardo Carrilho reportedly asked for more power to
00:05:33supervise Ciresp and made a complaint to the PGR
00:05:37about procedures in that body. At the same time,
00:05:40Luis Neves requested an audit of the contracts
00:05:43made by the General Secretariat with Ciresp during Ricardo Carrilho's mandate. The
00:05:47last straw must have been a payment of 26 million
00:05:51that Carrilho refused to make, considering it
00:05:54illegal. He was overruled by the
00:05:56Minister. Having legal
00:05:59opinions, the Minister gave instructions for
00:06:03the payment of contractualized service
00:06:06levels by the state, the due
00:06:09transfers to be made. Otherwise,
00:06:12Sirespe SAA would enter into a
00:06:15situation of serious financial
00:06:18constraint. Carrilho's letter is very harsh,
00:06:22criticizing Luís Neves across the board, speaking of illegitimate
00:06:25pressures. José Luís Carneiro, who worked with Carrilho in the
00:06:28internal administration, asks for the prime minister's intervention. Eh,
00:06:32I feel, therefore, concerned about the government, which is a source of permanent instability. On the one
00:06:36hand, eh, I feel that this instability occurs particularly
00:06:40in sectors, eh, since the very beginning, the Ministry of
00:06:43Internal Administration has not been peaceful and it is very important that we have a
00:06:47peaceful Ministry of Internal Administration. Chega and Liberal Initiative want
00:06:50to hear the dismissed Secretary General in Parliament. Meanwhile, Luís
00:06:54Neves has already chosen a successor, Major General of the
00:06:57GNR, Nuno Parreira da
00:06:59Silva.
00:07:02Construction work has begun on the high-speed rail in
00:07:05Portugal.
00:07:12The school year started a month ago and there are 65,000 students without
00:07:16a teacher for at least one subject.
00:07:19More than 900 timetables are still unfilled,
00:07:2240% of which are in
00:07:25Lisbon.
00:07:27In the middle of October, having all classes is not for
00:07:30everyone. Fenprof states that this week there are
00:07:33902 timetables to be filled, of these
00:07:36timetables, 111 are only in the first cycle,
00:07:40annual and complete.
00:07:43We are always talking about 65,
00:07:4770,000 students who persistently
00:07:50remain without a teacher for at least one subject.
00:07:53The situation is evidently more complicated in the
00:07:57first cycle, we currently have 111 first cycle
00:08:00schedules, because there the teacher is
00:08:04that one, and if that one is missing, there is no other one. And this is a problem that
00:08:08persists, that it is not resolved, that the only way to
00:08:11resolve it is indeed to attract
00:08:15teachers, they don't exist. In Marvila, at the beginning of October, there were
00:08:18300 children in the first cycle who did not have
00:08:22a teacher. Are there still students in Marvila without classes or is
00:08:26that the information we have, but eh, but it's not just there, in
00:08:29Setúbal too, in Silves too. How are these children being
00:08:33monitored? Evidently, if there are currently, and we believe so, still
00:08:37students at home, they are not being monitored by anyone.
00:08:41Now inside the school. The problem was solved by
00:08:44adding students to classes, calling
00:08:47teachers, for example, from special education,
00:08:51to whom they gave classes. We asked the Ministry of
00:08:54Education how many schedules were still unfilled. Without
00:08:58an answer, we analyzed the Minister's latest statements. Fernando
00:09:02Alexandre presented the numbers to Parliament and pointed to
00:09:05a cause. For the lack of teachers, it was last
00:09:09week. We have already placed 14,200 teachers since the beginning of
00:09:12September. But in the meantime, we had almost
00:09:15700 medical leave, and therefore this obviously
00:09:19requires replacing
00:09:22teachers every day. What is happening? The
00:09:25absences are the essential justification. When we are talking
00:09:28about 6 or 7 thousand, we are talking about about 2 thousand medical
00:09:32absences and 6,000 teachers who are on moderate services.
00:09:35Many of the medical absences are medical absences that also come from the previous
00:09:39school year. The schools also know the situation.
00:09:43Therefore, the problem is not that. The appeal is one for incentives
00:09:47to make the profession more
00:09:48attractive.
00:09:54remove 50 tents in Porto. Even
00:09:57so, a few dozen young people remain in Dom João Iro square
00:10:01demanding affordable housing.
00:10:03Let us camp.
00:10:07Officer, how much do you pay for rent? They raise their
00:10:11voices against the police.
00:10:21In Porto, they were woken up by the municipal police. And
00:10:25at 6 AM, when we started to be
00:10:28woken up, eh, we were completely
00:10:31surrounded by police cars up there and down
00:10:34here. We had the intervention then of the police, the municipal
00:10:38police arrived saying that we had to collect our tents. The protesters who
00:10:41were here, ah, accepted the police's
00:10:45order. We started
00:10:47to dismantle the tents, but the police very quickly lost
00:10:51patience and then started to
00:10:54pull the tent from people's hands, pushing
00:10:57people, hum, and it's this kind
00:11:00of violence,
00:11:04oppressive, that we are not understanding in this peaceful
00:11:07demonstration. The PSP intervention unit was at the
00:11:10scene, but did not intervene. This
00:11:13protest began after Saturday's demonstrations in
00:11:16several cities. In Porto, about 1500 people took to the
00:11:20streets to protest against the rising cost of living and housing.
00:11:24Since then...
00:11:41here because housing conditions in Portugal, in Porto and in Portugal in
00:11:44general, have reached an absurd level where
00:11:48on average, the average salary is no longer enough to pay the rent for a one-bedroom house
00:11:51in Porto or Lisbon. I am currently paying
00:11:55€190 for a T0. The
00:11:58Porto City Council says the protest was unduly occupying public space. In the
00:12:02middle of the afternoon, the protesters felt
00:12:04intimidated. I would say that for now everything is peaceful and if anything
00:12:08escalated it was the police's action since 6:30 in the morning, which has been
00:12:12bothering and intimidating us in several actions, always saying different things,
00:12:16always claiming different legal things. On Saturday we received indications from the
00:12:20police that we could have the tents if we did not have the banners.
00:12:23Ah, this morning, we received the indication that we could have the food awnings if we didn't
00:12:27have the tents, then that we could have the tables if we didn't have the
00:12:30awnings, and now the tables can't be there and soon people can't be in a square
00:12:34in the middle of the afternoon, eh, in a city in a public
00:12:38space. New protests for the right to
00:12:41housing are scheduled for next Wednesday. A popular
00:12:44assembly is already scheduled in
00:12:47Porto.
00:12:50Live connection to Porto where Sofia Dias
00:12:54Olmedo is. Very good evening, Sofia, until when did the
00:12:57protesters intend to remain there in the
00:13:00square?
00:13:04Obviously, good evening, the protesters eh have the
00:13:07information from the City Council that they have authorization
00:13:10to protest here in this Dom João I square, at least
00:13:1620th. This is, therefore, information that was given to us
00:13:19eh, a few minutes ago, during
00:13:25gathering about 200 people according to the
00:13:28PSP present here. I also take this opportunity to mention that as
00:13:32night fell there was also a police reinforcement here, eh,
00:13:36the arrival of more PSP agents and also of the
00:13:39municipal police was verified. At this moment
00:13:42they are talking about the next steps
00:13:46in this demonstration that will last at least until the 20th,
00:13:49as already mentioned, eh, a demonstration will be
00:13:52held on Wednesday at
00:13:557 PM. Eh, this is one of the decisions
00:13:59taken in this assembly, an assembly
00:14:02in which they are appealing to all young
00:14:05people and all people of all ages eh for a
00:14:09problem that they say is common to all society, it is transversal
00:14:13to all society, the problem of housing eh
00:14:16that has affected from young people eh to older
00:14:20people who also joined here throughout the afternoon. We can
00:14:23witness the presence of some elderly people here
00:14:27who were touched by the cause of these young people and decided
00:14:31to be here to demonstrate support eh for the
00:14:34cause. It is, therefore, a peaceful demonstration,
00:14:37eh, the tents had to be removed from
00:14:40Dom João Iro square, but the demonstration will continue. The
00:14:44objective is to be heard by the main
00:14:54protest demanding 140 million euros to respond to the increase in
00:14:58production costs. The Minister of Agriculture warned that
00:15:02support would only arrive next year. The
00:15:05basket delivered to the Prime Minister's residence at the Assembly of the
00:15:10chance. Farmers warn that the production of these
00:15:13foods is at risk. There is a very serious
00:15:17crisis of increasing production factors. The government has not
00:15:21reacted appropriately to this crisis.
00:15:25The Confederation of Farmers of Portugal considers that the aid they are asking the
00:15:29government for is supported by the guidelines of the European Union.
00:15:33They promise to continue the protests if the government of Luiz
00:15:36Montenegro does not implement compensation measures for
00:15:39the sectors, the government and the parties represented in the
00:15:43assembly, listen to the farmers, take the measures
00:15:46that we presented, this is an
00:15:49endpoint and it will be a very happy
00:15:53endpoint. If not, we
00:15:56will obviously make this moment not an
00:15:59endpoint, but a starting point and
00:16:02it is clear that we will
00:16:05multiply the protest actions, namely with...
00:16:09actions because we have no alternative, it is very
00:16:12important that this is understood, farmers at this
00:16:15moment have no alternative. In response to the farmers' concentration, the
00:16:19Minister says that only next year will there be more
00:16:22support. What I told them is very clear, we
00:16:25increased farmers' income per year by more than 200 million
00:16:29euros, which was, fortunately
00:16:32we did it, with criticism from the
00:16:36Socialist Party and... Chega and now for
00:16:392027, but the approval is now
00:16:43and we cannot anticipate this because it is a
00:16:46possibility that the European regulation gives us. There will be another
00:16:49162 million euros for income
00:16:52support.
00:16:54Farmers are asking for support measures for the sector of 140
00:16:58million euros to be able to have competitive conditions to
00:17:02produce, among them they want financing lines,
00:17:05a request delivered to the Prime Minister, the President of the Assembly of the
00:17:09Republic, the parliamentary groups of PSD,
00:17:12Chega, PS, Liberal Initiative and CDS. This
00:17:16morning's concentration had 150 farmers, where
00:17:19the leader of the Chega Party was
00:17:21present.
00:17:25Construction work has begun on the TGV. The first section
00:17:29of the high-speed railway will connect Porto
00:17:33to Oiã, in the district of Aveiro, and should be
00:17:36completed in
00:17:372030.
00:17:45The Minister of Infrastructure speaks of a historic day for the
00:17:48country. It is the beginning of the construction of the high-speed
00:17:51railway. The journey between
00:17:55Porto and Lisbon will take one hour and 15 minutes.
00:17:59It is not this government's high-speed rail, it is the high-speed rail of all Portuguese from various governments over
00:18:02decades, and now it is necessary to meet deadlines, meet budgets to
00:18:06ensure that in 2008. 30, this section is completed, in 2032
00:18:09we have Lisbon, Porto, Vigo, completed, that is our generational
00:18:13obligation. The first section is 71
00:18:17km long. It will connect Porto to Oiã, in the district of
00:18:20Aveiro, and will cost more than 2.0 million euros. The
00:18:24government expects to advance with the next public-private
00:18:27partnerships in the short term. PPP-2
00:18:30is already in its final stage, almost ready for awarding. And
00:18:33PPP-3, we believe that...
00:18:37soon the tender will be launched because it is essential, we have to
00:18:40ensure that all are completed, otherwise we will have a crippled
00:18:44high-speed rail, we do not want a crippled high-speed rail, we want a complete
00:18:47high-speed rail. The first section includes the adaptation
00:18:51of the Campanhã station, the construction of a new bridge over the Douro
00:18:56requalification of the Santo Ovídio station in Vila Nova de
00:18:59Gaia. The president of the municipality disputes the project and
00:19:03asks for an alternative to be evaluated. I heard his
00:19:06public statements, I saw his concern, of course the residents
00:19:10suffer, in all these works, they suffer, in all these works of this
00:19:13magnitude. Therefore, we, Infrastructures of Portugal, government, have an obligation
00:19:17to listen, we will listen then we will make decisions. What I said is
00:19:21that for now, in the current circumstances, nothing leads
00:19:25me to have to change the decision that was made by the authorities of Portugal, the award that was
00:19:28made. The Minister guarantees that he will meet with the mayor of
00:19:32Vila Nova de Gaia soon, and stresses that a
00:19:35work of this dimension should achieve a broad
00:19:38consensus.
00:19:42Galpe's oil refining margin more than tripled
00:19:45in the third quarter. The
00:19:48data revealed by the company show that this margin increased
00:19:52from $9.5 per barrel to
00:19:55$33.80 when compared to the same period last
00:19:59year. Galpa also increased its oil exploration
00:20:03and production business, having produced an average of
00:20:06131,000 barrels per day, up 14%
00:20:09from last
00:20:10year.
00:20:16It's mid-October and a new heatwave is coming with
00:20:19temperatures that could reach 30°C
00:20:23in
00:20:23Portugal.
00:20:29The Pope is expected to be admitted tomorrow and operated on
00:20:32Wednesday. Leo XIV will be hospitalized and operated
00:20:36on at the hospital in Rome for the removal of a nodule in
00:20:40his lung. The pontiff maintained a busy schedule this
00:20:43Monday, holding seven previously scheduled meetings
00:20:47for tomorrow. The head of the Catholic Church,
00:20:5071 years old, revealed on Sunday that the nodule was discovered in a recent
00:20:54examination. It was well contained and had been detected
00:20:57early.
00:21:02The rector of the Sanctuary of Fátima remains optimistic about
00:21:06a possible visit by the Pope next
00:21:09pilgrimage, participants in the
00:21:13pray for the health of
00:21:20"They left Alcássovas in the district of Évora and already
00:21:24close to the finish line they received the news. As always we pray for
00:21:27him, but in a special way we ask for the intentions of the Holy
00:21:31Father and for the health of the Holy Father at this moment. We hope, as
00:21:35those from Alentejo already tell us, that he will get over this quickly. The topic
00:21:39ends up marking the
00:21:41pilgrimage. Always with the attention that Fátima also
00:21:45had to the figure of the Holy Father and we are very supportive
00:21:48of him and. "Our prayer that rises from here
00:21:52to God and that involves so many people in the church in the
00:21:56world, we hope that we can have good
00:21:59news. I don't know if any
00:22:01coincidence, tomorrow, the day of
00:22:0613th, we have already had other cases in the past,
00:22:10not that we are going to make that spiritual
00:22:14exploration here, but it is an added
00:22:18motivation among the..." Testimonies of
00:22:21concern and hope about
00:22:24the Pope's health are recorded. He has always been a man since he was
00:22:28elected that we got used to seeing with that smile of his, that spontaneity
00:22:31of his, that joyful way of living. I never
00:22:35thought that from one moment to another we would have this news with
00:22:39some concern, eh, he
00:22:41is a young man, isn't he?
00:22:45and he always requires some kind of
00:22:48care, but "I believe he will be able to
00:22:52overcome it. We include in our prayer, eh, besides
00:22:55all friends and family, we also include the Pope's health, that
00:22:59everything goes well and everything will go well for
00:23:02sure, let's see if he stays here," an optimism shared
00:23:06by the rector of the Sanctuary within the scope of the invitation for Leo
00:23:10XIV to visit Fátima. It is merely
00:23:13a deep conviction that eh the
00:23:16Pope may come, or that it is very likely that the Pope will come next year."
00:23:20"This news of the Pope's health problem
00:23:23does not make me lose my optimism. It is the
00:23:26last international anniversary pilgrimage of the
00:23:29year, in a cycle that begins in May and ends in October at the
00:23:33Sanctuary of Fátima.
00:23:37A 14-year-old student from a high school in the Marseille region
00:23:40opened fire on teachers. The student brought a weapon
00:23:44hidden in his guitar case and shot three
00:23:47teachers, although not seriously.
00:23:51The reunion between parents and children marks the end of the
00:23:54distress.
00:23:57Hundreds of students from this school in Bagneaux on the outskirts of Marseille
00:24:00were locked in classrooms for hours.
00:24:06In the corridors, a 14-year-old colleague shot at teachers.
00:24:20charger son arme du coup nous on était en panique a couru et du
00:24:23coup bah ce qui se passe c'est qu'après du coup nous on court
00:24:27premier étage avait du sang. The blood
00:24:29belonged to the three injured: a school director and two teachers. Two of them are still
00:24:33hospitalized. It was the courage of an employee that prevented the teenager
00:24:37from continuing to shoot sur l'intention on ne
00:24:41sait pas encore puisque les constatations sont en cours s'il
00:24:44les avisait en tout état de cause ces deux personnes ont été
00:24:48blessées au niveau des membres inférieurs.
00:24:52The young man, considered calm and without a police record,
00:24:56will be interrogated to understand his motivations. This
00:24:59incident had nothing to do with the student movement. However,
00:25:02protests by students and
00:25:06teachers continue in hundreds of
00:25:09high schools.
00:25:11The number of universities that are blocked is also increasing.
00:25:15Emmanuel Macron insists that the executive is making an effort and calls for
00:25:18non-violence. après moi je ne serais
00:25:21évidemment pas approuvé en quoi que ce soit ou justifier quelques
00:25:25violence et ce qu'on a pu voir
00:25:28chez les lycéens et chez tous ceux qui n'étant plus lycéens viennent profiter de tout cela
00:25:32pour brûler, destroy or lead to
00:25:35violence,
00:25:38this Tuesday will be another day of high tension, dozens
00:25:41of demonstrations have been called for the
00:25:50The European Union approved new sanctions against people and entities
00:25:54linked to Russia. Brussels wants to limit
00:25:57Moscow's military capability at a time when Donald Trump is trying to
00:26:01help Russia. selling diesel, European
00:26:05foreign ministers are seeking in Luxembourg to tighten the noose
00:26:08on Moscow, the meeting takes place after the announcement of a ceasefire on
00:26:12Russian and Ukrainian energy infrastructures, but it is still
00:26:16unclear, we should put the pressure on Russia so that
00:26:19they they will stop, because if they stop, Ukrainians
00:26:23also don't have to uh, take any steps to
00:26:27defend that country, and and that is what is
00:26:30all at stake, so so this...
00:26:41What is certain is the approval of sanctions against about 1600 people and
00:26:44entities, more than half linked to the ballistic missile production chain.
00:26:47All these measures contribute, as I said, to
00:26:51heavy, to aggravate the
00:26:54bill that Vladimir Putin is paying in this in
00:26:57this colonial and imperialist war that must
00:27:00imperatively cease.
00:27:03The decision also comes in a context of hybrid attacks attributed to Russia in
00:27:07European territory and contrasts with the agreement between Trump and
00:27:10Putin that would allow Moscow to return to selling diesel on the American
00:27:14and global markets. The rapprochement between Washington and Moscow puts
00:27:18Europeans in front of another difficulty, joining the
00:27:21recent tension caused by American sanctions on the
00:27:24International Criminal Court. For now, Europeans
00:27:27reaffirm their support for Kiev and ask the United States to
00:27:39elections to be held in Ukraine. These truces had
00:27:43been demanded by Donald Trump, who had announced a truce in
00:27:47Russian and Ukrainian attacks against energy targets.
00:27:50But Moscow ignored this statement from Trump and continued
00:27:54the bombardments of energy targets and residential areas of
00:27:58Ukraine, causing the death of at least three civilians in
00:28:01the large. archive, second largest city in the
00:28:04country. It lasted less than a couple of hours on the
00:28:08Russian side, Sarofogalvos Energéticos between Moscow and
00:28:11Kiev, announced by Donald Trump on
00:28:14Friday.
00:28:19The first target to be hit with a Russian guided bomb was a power plant in
00:28:22Kharkiv, the second largest Ukrainian
00:28:25city. And from there, the deadly attacks on
00:28:29civilian residential areas were also resumed, including in the same
00:28:33region, the Kremlin's statements show Moscow's position
00:28:37regarding a cessation of hostilities.
00:28:40We have repeatedly said, President Putin and at other
00:28:44levels, we want not
00:28:48a truce, we want long-term peace
00:28:51and we are ready to do everything possible for this.
00:28:54Trump would have
00:28:57agreed.
00:29:00Zelensky reacted in surprise to the announcement, but guaranteed that he would adhere to
00:29:03it, if Moscow also did, which was not the
00:29:07case,
00:29:10causing irritation among allies and even Republican
00:29:12sectors, Trump announced that he had agreed with Putin
00:29:16on a massive purchase of Russian crude, the main
00:29:20source of financing for the Kremlin's war machine.
00:29:22This is out of the question. Russia
00:29:27will only seriously negotiate under pressure and that is why.
00:29:30arguing that the decision was made
00:29:48solely in the interest of the American
00:29:52people, even in this meeting with Vladimir, the
00:29:55American president pressured Zelensky to call
00:29:58elections in Ukraine, the Ukrainian president accepted
00:30:01to do so, proposing a suspension of the war for two months.
00:30:05Moscow replied that Ukraine does not deserve it, and
00:30:08at most, agrees to stop the attacks for only
00:30:12one day, of voting.
00:30:14The Supreme Commander of NATO's Allied Forces
00:30:18issued a warning to Russia. American General
00:30:21Alexus Grenkovic said that the
00:30:24Alliance does not want war, but is ready to fight
00:30:28tonight, in a speech at the forum of...
00:30:32Across the Alliance, we're taking steps
00:31:02to operationalize this theory and maximize the readiness of our
00:31:06forces. If attacked, we are ready to fight tonight, but we are
00:31:09not complacent. We will continue to prepare and rehearse.
00:31:13Saudi Arabia announced that it will
00:31:21respond to the Houthi attacks. Iran's Yemeni
00:31:24allies killed more than a dozen people in Saudi Arabia
00:31:28this weekend and again launched a missile, but the
00:31:31projectile was intercepted.
00:31:34This Monday, King Khalid Airport in Riyadh, the second
00:31:38busiest in Saudi Arabia, remained
00:31:41closed and will remain so until Saturday, in a statement to the Civil
00:31:45Aviation Authority, which informed that all activities are
00:31:48suspended until security and operational
00:31:51readiness of the facilities are restored. All this,
00:31:55after the attacks by the Houthi rebels this weekend,
00:31:59which caused at least 14 deaths and more than 300
00:32:03injured. The Saudi government has already
00:32:06promised to
00:32:07retaliate.
00:33:03causing floods that in Nepal destroyed trails,
00:33:06pedestrian bridges. There are no records of fatalities, but
00:33:10five local residents are reported missing.
00:33:12Last
00:33:17month was the second hottest September ever in Europe,
00:33:20average temperatures broke records in Western
00:33:24Europe and also reached the highest values ever in
00:33:27extra-tropical oceans.
00:33:30The data was released this
00:33:34Monday by the European program's Copernicus Climate Change
00:33:37Service. In September, the average global
00:33:41temperature was 1.5%. 63°C
00:33:45above pre-industrial levels. In
00:33:48much of Europe, the month was exceptionally hot
00:33:51and dry. It was even the second hottest ever
00:33:54in some regions of Western Europe. Copernicus
00:33:57also highlights exceptionally high
00:34:01sea surface temperatures in much of the tropical
00:34:04Pacific, where conditions associated with the El
00:34:08Niño phenomenon are intensifying. In the El
00:34:10Niño region, the sea surface temperature reached
00:34:14a record 29.70°C in September.
00:34:17Also in Europe, record
00:34:20values were recorded for the month of September along the Atlantic coast and the
00:34:24western Mediterranean. Hot
00:34:27September and hot
00:34:29October too. In Portugal, high temperatures
00:34:32will remain for at least this week.
00:34:36Thermometers can exceed 30
00:34:39degrees. The district of Castel Branco, the district of Santarém
00:34:43to Évora,
00:34:45it will essentially be here that temperatures will be recorded between 28 maximum
00:34:49and possibly reaching 33 in some places, at the weekend temperatures
00:34:53should drop, this is not the first time this
00:34:56year that Copernicus reports record
00:35:00temperatures, August 2026 was the
00:35:03hottest month ever recorded worldwide,
00:35:07the heat returns to Portugal from tomorrow.
00:35:11Maximums rise throughout the country and can reach
00:35:1530 degrees. when people were already sighing
00:35:18with relief with the
00:35:20cooler air, this is what awaits us for the next
00:35:24few days. until Wednesday, the temperature will gradually rise,
00:35:27especially the maximum temperature and it is expected that
00:35:31Wednesday will be the hottest
00:35:34day. Tuesday, maximum temperatures begin to
00:35:37rise throughout the country, in the center Santarém
00:35:40reaches 29. 9 degrees, Castelo
00:35:44Branco at 30, Lisbon, 27. Évora
00:35:47is the hottest city with 31 degrees. On
00:35:50Wednesday, thermometers rise even further, reaching
00:35:5432 degrees in Lisbon, Santarém and
00:35:57Évora, reaching 33, but
00:36:00it's a short-lived sunshine, from Saturday, everything
00:36:03changes. Everything indicates that from the 17th, temperature
00:36:07values will start to... drop, we will have an entry of colder air
00:36:11and with higher humidity content, eh, precipitation
00:36:15may return next week and, therefore,
00:36:19the temperature will be the first variation, and
00:36:22the temperature starts to drop already next Saturday,
00:36:25nights have already been colder, from next week
00:36:29also days will be cooler, it is
00:36:33therefore expected that this week will truly be the
00:36:36farewell to summer.
00:36:39The judiciary seized nearly 4 tons of
00:36:43cocaine off the coast of
00:36:46Faro, the drug was being transported in speedboats
00:36:50and was destined for... Europe.
00:36:53South of Faro, about 80 miles off the coast, authorities
00:36:57located a speedboat that was already
00:37:00referenced. After an unsuccessful order to stop,
00:37:03a chase ensued. On board were two Spaniards
00:37:06and an Englishman. One of the Spaniards was injured during the
00:37:09police operation and ended up dying. This
00:37:13unfortunate accident, eh, was due to the
00:37:17collision of one vessel with another. We are talking
00:37:20about speeds greater than 50
00:37:24knots, 55 knots, so we are talking about speeds close to
00:37:27100 km/h
00:37:31on the high seas, so and there is an inherent
00:37:35risk to these pursuits. Operation
00:37:38Mare Nostrum involved national, Italian
00:37:41and Spanish authorities, nearly four tons of
00:37:45cocaine were seized and a criminal network whose main
00:37:49market was Europe was dismantled. We are
00:37:53facing yet another criminal structure of...
00:37:55of international features that has as its main scope, as
00:37:59its main purpose to bring large quantities of
00:38:02cocaine into Europe through this modus
00:38:06operandi that has also been widely
00:38:09used in recent times,
00:38:12I am talking about drug speedboats, high-speed vessels, on the Portuguese
00:38:16coast, seizures of fuel used to
00:38:20supply speedboats in drug trafficking are also
00:38:23multiplying, stored in various police
00:38:27facilities, the fuel is often donated, the fuel, as
00:38:31a rule, if it is in a condition to be used,
00:38:35is delivered to multiple
00:38:38entities, firefighters, municipalities, so there is
00:38:42a lot of work done to make use of it, also
00:38:45because, if it is stored for a long time, it loses
00:38:49its characteristics. The investigation began 6 months
00:38:52ago and is still ongoing, the two suspects will be brought before
00:38:55the first judicial interrogation this
00:38:58Tuesday.
00:39:00The Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to two Americans.
00:39:04Much of the work of Robert Hole and Michael Woodford was
00:39:07dedicated to understanding how economic models can be
00:39:11based not only on statistical connections, but also on the
00:39:14actions of companies and families.
00:39:17How also the micro-decisions
00:39:20of families and companies influence the
00:39:23macroeconomy, just like the statistician. awarded for the
00:40:06investigations that sought to understand how consumer
00:40:09choices, savings, investment,
00:40:13influence the functioning of the macroeconomy, they helped
00:40:16to develop more robust economic models to
00:40:20understand and evaluate the effects of economic
00:40:24policy decisions. The economy was the last
00:40:57prize this year to be announced,
00:41:01and will be awarded in December.
00:44:05live next on the
00:44:08newscast of all people, your
00:44:12family, who do you think could have reasons to get
00:44:15rid of you? Love
00:49:13politics. The former prime minister said
00:49:15that he will if the PSD is not
00:49:19successful. Passos Coelho defended that his
00:49:23party had an obligation to have tried an agreement with Chega
00:49:26and with the Liberal Initiative and accused the government of
00:49:30having been slow to advance with
00:49:32reforms, he stated for the first time what had
00:49:36long been suspected about a possible return to active
00:49:39politics. This would have to correspond to a situation in which the PSD,
00:49:43visibly, did not have the possibility of delivering
00:49:47a satisfactory result given what
00:49:50the country needs, I would think.
00:49:52that I could do it if that happens, I will consider
00:49:56it and take an initiative, if necessary. Pedro Passos Coelho
00:50:00denies preparing any candidacy, despite the criticisms
00:50:03he has made of the current leadership of the party. He says that
00:50:08management and that agreements with the PS and with Chega have
00:50:12prevented the government from carrying out deep reforms. They got into a
00:50:16very complicated political trap, because now it's too late to
00:50:19go back and try to make a legislative agreement. It was
00:50:22rejected, on the other hand, a good part
00:50:26of the reforms, if they are worthy of that name, which are reforms that
00:50:30need popular support and that need parliamentary
00:50:32support, probably do not have it, see what happened with the labor
00:50:36reform, it is because the country is not governable, the responsibility
00:50:38here also has to be of Chega and of the
00:50:42Liberal Initiative, two political forces that he considers
00:50:45essential for a governmental solution that should have been explored
00:50:49at the beginning, especially with the party of André. I know
00:50:53him enough to think that he is a person who has
00:50:57a lot of merit, if he hadn't created a party with the expression that it
00:51:00has today and that he is a politician who has
00:51:04shown a remarkable power of initiative.
00:51:07The former prime minister recognizes that there are
00:51:10parties that want to grow at the expense of popular
00:51:13dissatisfaction. In the case of Chega, he says that the absence of
00:51:16governmental responsibilities allows them to present proposals without
00:51:20the need to subject them to the test of
00:51:22reality.
00:51:25Miguel Pinto Luz was until now the only member of the government to react,
00:51:29the current Minister of Infrastructures, who was also
00:51:32part of the former prime minister's team, said that Passos
00:51:36Coelho's words did not cause any discomfort
00:51:39and stressed that it would be unwise for an executive
00:51:43not to listen to the positions of a former head of
00:51:46government. We don't have to agree on everything, always, we don't have to
00:51:50agree on all matters. and so there are times when
00:51:53we disagree, it's healthy, so there's no pressure at all,
00:51:57there's no discomfort
00:52:00or unease around the words. The government is absolutely
00:52:04convinced of the path it is forging, this does not mean that we cannot
00:52:08listen, and listening to a person like Dr. Pedro Passos Coelho, who was prime
00:52:11minister of Portugal, at such a difficult moment in the country's
00:52:15life, would be almost an act of recklessness
00:52:18if we were not capable of listening to someone who was prime minister of
00:52:22Portugal. André Ventura's
00:52:25reaction to hear now in response to Vítor
00:52:29Gonçalves' questions. Good evening André Aventura, thank you very much for being on RTP.
00:52:33Newscast, Pedro Passos Coelho, as we saw earlier, advocates that
00:52:37the right-wing should form a governing majority in an interview with CIC
00:52:40Notícias, do you think that such an understanding would still be
00:52:43possible in the current legislature if the PSD
00:52:46leadership accepted that proposal? Good evening, thank you for the
00:52:49invitation to be here on RTP, hh, no and it would never
00:52:53be possible with this current leadership of the PSD, it would never
00:52:57be possible, I'll give you an example, I would never be in a government where Luís Neves was also in the government,
00:53:00that would be out of the question, I think no
00:53:04Chega leader, no Chega member
00:53:07would accept to be in a government, eh, where there
00:53:10are suspicions of irregularities, of illegalities, where there are things that are not well explained,
00:53:14so I think that time has passed, frankly, but there was a time when Pedro
00:53:17Passos Coelho is right, that should have been put on the table, that was the time when we
00:53:21put it on the table, after the 2024 elections, we said, the country
00:53:25has to free itself from subsidy dependence on socialism, from
00:53:28the corruption of socialism, we have to make a majority here to have room to
00:53:32do these things and it was Luís Montenegro and this PSD that
00:53:36didn't want to, look, now Chega is ahead of the PSD in the polls, so now
00:53:40the PSD comes to say, after all now it makes sense to have an agreement, in many
00:53:44polls, not all, but in the last two we have, one from CNN,
00:53:47another from Diário de Notícias, Chega is ahead of the PSD, so now I
00:53:51think it's time to start building another majority, a majority of reforms
00:53:55that the country needs, but not necessarily a majority that the PSD
00:53:58leader, a majority that Chega can lead, so now Chega says no, no,
00:54:02no, no, that's not what it's about, I don't have, first of all, I'm not I'm not vindictive, nor do I think that the
00:54:06party is, I don't see my life that way, nor the party's, if the
00:54:09circumstances are the circumstances, Prime Minister
00:54:12Luis Monte Nego chose to follow a path as he is doing, which is neither
00:54:16reformist, nor truly a break
00:54:20with the past that we should have broken from socialism
00:54:23and he chose the path of trying to isolate himself, it's a strategy
00:54:27that's not illegitimate, he won the elections, he was ahead of Chega, that's
00:54:30clear, now they just can't have made all these messes, by the way, Vítor.
00:54:43It is Chega that doesn't allow the PSD to make reforms because it doesn't approve them, I'll tell you this
00:54:47very directly, in fact, we don't approve
00:54:50reform the government has is to end the control of the Court of
00:54:54Accounts over the prior visa to remove most of the contracts
00:54:58from the court's control and allow corruption, we will not allow that, that is, in this
00:55:02rental situation, I'll give you the example of rental, if...
00:55:05it was made viable with conditions and with the condition of being altered,
00:55:08let me give you this example, if the great idea that the government has for rental is for
00:55:12deposits to have no limits, that whoever rents a house may have to pay a
00:55:16deposit of €20,000 or €30,000 . So that's why we only want
00:55:19rich foreigners in our country instead of having Portuguese people
00:55:23living in houses, that is, these are not reforms, these are bad reforms, and therefore
00:55:26we will be against them there, you are in disagreement with Pedro Passos Coelho, no, I don't
00:55:30think I'm in disagreement, that is, there are things that
00:55:34labor reform. No, and the age of reform, that is, we,
00:55:37oh Vítor, I defend that the retirement age should be lowered, because I think people are
00:55:41tired of working to support this state, we've already talked about this, now
00:55:45I don't know if Pedro Passos Coelho was also referring to the labor
00:55:48code, that is, being able to dismiss an entire group of
00:55:52people to outsource them to an external company, is this a reform? For
00:55:56us, this is not a reform, this is a regression, but do you think that
00:55:59essentially, at this moment in the relationship between the PST and Chega, it is
00:56:03mainly the ideas or is it? personal dimension and the difficulty of the relationship
00:56:07between the two leaders, do you understand the question? I think there are, that is, I think there are two
00:56:10things, there is a certain loss of confidence, that is evident, I cannot
00:56:13see in the Prime Minister the political
00:56:17authority after what I saw Luis Neves do
00:56:20before the Prime Minister and before the country and which took away all his authority, the Prime
00:56:24Minister decided not to act, I cannot take this Prime Minister with credibility and
00:56:28authority, but there are things that distinguish us from the PSD as well
00:56:31and the case of pensions is one of those, we really think that...
00:56:35the retirement age should be lowered, we will put that in the state budget, we really
00:56:38think that the minimum pension should increase, Luis Montenegro thinks that this
00:56:41is giving handouts, when we have 20%
00:56:45of our retirees at risk of poverty, so there are also fundamental
00:56:49differences in ideas here, it's not just personality, earlier we heard the statements from
00:56:52Pedro Passos Coelho, I felt that André Ventura reacted with
00:56:56contentment when I heard Passos Coelho say that André Ventura is a politician with considerable
00:57:00merit and remarkable initiative, first I ask you if
00:57:03that surprised you. And how do you compare that with recent statements
00:57:07from Hugo Soares who said in parliament that you are, and I will
00:57:10quote, a liar? It's because there are two, there is a different PSD, there is the
00:57:14PSD that wants to make reforms and is willing to cut. In that
00:57:17past, whoever calls me a liar is whoever doesn't want to fight
00:57:21corruption, whoever doesn't want, we are always liars, whoever doesn't want to raise pensions, we
00:57:24are always liars, that is, this story of the VAT on
00:57:28fuels, the country is being robbed on fuels every day, every
00:57:32day, the Spanish laugh at
00:57:35us, despite having higher salaries, we tell the Prime Minister, we have to
00:57:39lower the VAT on fuels and it is possible, look, don't put money into
00:57:42REN, lower the VAT on fuels, liar,
00:57:45populist, Pedro Passos Coelho didn't say that, Pedro.
00:57:49He said: have the courage to make changes, to make
00:57:52reforms, I see more of this side of having to
00:57:55do things than properly this
00:57:58argument of this PSD of Montenegro, Hugo Soares,
00:58:02etc. who are no longer bringing anything good to the country. Now I think Pedro Passos
00:58:07that, also had the clarity and foresight to say that
00:58:10he also disagrees with me on some things, for example, lowering the
00:58:14retirement age, an example of that, I still think that the retirement age should be lowered.
00:58:18some more time to talk about the interview with Pedro Passos Coelho
00:58:21later in this interview, but for now I would like to know your position on the
00:58:24state budget, two or three questions, four days after the
00:58:27presentation of the budget, Chega has already decided what it will do in the budget
00:58:31vote, we are obviously analyzing this budget but on the basis of this
00:58:34assumption that it is, with everything we received from the government, a bad
00:58:38budget, I was talking to you earlier about the bad budget, will you vote against it? We
00:58:42are a responsible party and a responsible party looks at the proposals, talks
00:58:46with the government about... the possibility of changing, of modifying some things
00:58:50and decides, I was talking to you about the VAT on fuels, because in fact, we
00:58:53pay more than 50% of what we pay for fuels in taxes, why am I talking
00:58:57about this? Because a resolution project was approved in parliament in
00:59:00July that said that Chega wanted to lower the VAT
00:59:03on fuels and on food items, we are today with an
00:59:07absolutely unavoidable price of more than
00:59:10€255 for the food basket, we want to put zero VAT
00:59:13on that basket, it was approved in parliament, what do we expect now?
00:59:17After it has been approved in parliament is that it should be in the state budget, when
00:59:21we see, the government still does not want to lower taxes
00:59:25on fuels in the state budget, I ask Vítor, what
00:59:29is the money for then? I see the Minister of Finance saying: well, but
00:59:32we have to fight to have a surplus here and we have to have balanced
00:59:35accounts, but at the cost of the misery of
00:59:38people, for example, the proposal to lower the
00:59:42VAT on fuels plus the exemption of VAT or zero
00:59:46VAT on essential goods. The suspension of toll payments on some
00:59:49of those tolls, what would be the financial impact of those measures? We are talking about around
00:59:531,500, 1,500, 1.5 million
00:59:57euros, we, therefore, it would be the return of the deficit, it's the opposite, I will give you
01:00:01an example, today we learned that instead of spending 300 and something million on REN, which
01:00:04nobody understood why, your energy probably didn't go down, mine didn't either, it didn't
01:00:08go down, it explained that it has to do with the possibility of the Portuguese state also being in the
01:00:11administration of a company where two states are present, I would understand all
01:00:15that if people were not suffocating at the... gasoline stations as they are now, I
01:00:19would understand all that, if people did not go to the supermarket now and were not suffocating to
01:00:22buy fish, meat, milk, all that, therefore, at this moment we
01:00:26needed a state that was able to take a little bit of the money it has and
01:00:30give it to the people, that is, we spent on REN according to today's data,
01:00:33more or less, between 500 and 560 million euros,
01:00:37this would be enough to lower the VAT on fuels until February, until
01:00:40February, that is, this is not about deficit or
01:00:44accounts, it is about political choices, now my political
01:00:47choice would be to give something back to people because they are already in a country where
01:00:51they are drained of a large part of taxes, I know that this sometimes may seem
01:00:55a bit like populism but but but look at this, we have a
01:00:58state budget and a state that gives housing subsidies to government officials,
01:01:02they have a subsidy to come live in Lisbon for housing for state secretaries, for
01:01:06government officials, etc. but there is no support for teachers for housing, for doctors for
01:01:09housing, that is, teachers in some areas have
01:01:13subsidies
01:01:15especially, for example, in Lisbon, for teachers from outside. Then it depends on the municipal councils, but
01:01:19notice, does it make sense that a minister who earns €5,000 or €6,000 has a
01:01:23housing subsidy and a doctor or a nurse or
01:01:26a teacher or an assistant who has to travel and who can no longer find a house
01:01:30neither in Lisbon nor in Porto nor in Braga does not have one. This is not a matter of deficit, this
01:01:33is a matter of choices, the government has made bad choices, that's the truth, one last question
01:01:37in this initial segment of our interview, the Minister of Finance said that whoever
01:01:41proposes measures that increase expenditure without revenue counterparts,
01:01:45will be responsible for the imbalance of public accounts, do you
01:01:49accept this responsibility, are you willing to be the man of the deficit, look, I told
01:01:53the Minister of Finance and I had to tell him face to face, one thing,
01:01:566% of our budget, of GDP, 6% of
01:02:00our GDP, about 20 million euros, we spend every year
01:02:03on bureaucracy and waste, 20 million euros, that would be enough to lower the
01:02:07VAT on fuels, to put zero VAT on the food basket and end all
01:02:11tolls in the country, the government can say that this is
01:02:14difficult to do, but it cannot say that there is no money to do it,
01:02:18what the government has chosen to do is something else, to continue to fatten the
01:02:22state, to continue to distribute subsidies in an
01:02:25absolutely absurd way, we had a news
01:02:29from ECO just to say. This is ECO, it's not a news from Chega, it's ECO, from the newspaper
01:02:32ECO, which did the math, 590 million
01:02:36euros were paid last year in subsidies, without knowing
01:02:39to whom, or why, but then we don't have 300 or 400 million
01:02:43to lower the VAT on fuels until February, I mean, I don't
01:02:46understand this, is André Ventura wrong or is the government wrong, I think the government
01:02:50is wrong, and this segment of the interview ends here, it's a conversation with
01:02:54André Ventura, coming up in a few moments on RTP
01:02:57Notícias, Vítor. So with the interview with
01:03:01André Ventura. The Gazeta Television Award was
01:03:05awarded to an RTP report, Traficantes, which was broadcast on
01:03:09the story of Brazilian women who are
01:03:13recruited by criminal networks to transport
01:03:16cocaine in their stomachs, in their intestines, to
01:03:33in Portuguese
