In Europe, hackers targeted a French blood bank and supermarket fridges, raising fears of a new front in hybrid warfare. Plus: we talk to Reza Pahlavi, one of the main leaders of the opposition to the Tehran regime. On today's show: Eric Ham, political analyst and bestselling author in Washington, asks how a weakened Donald Trump will react following the US midterm elections in which Democrats took control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Shona Murray reports from Helsinki on Europe's reaction to the Democratic win and what to expect from the Ukraine talks planned for next week. Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran's last Shah, tells Vincenzo Genovese why the EU should freeze assets linked to the Tehran regime and show the same resolve it has shown towards Vladimir Putin.
