00:00 A burning car carrier was drifting off the Dutch coast on Thursday, the Coast Guard said,
00:09 a day after the Panamanian-registered ship caused a light, causing the death of an Indian
00:14 crew member and injuring several others.
00:16 The 199-metre Fremantle Highway caught fire overnight Tuesday and several of the 23 crew
00:22 jumped overboard to escape the flames and were rescued by the Dutch Coast Guard.
00:26 The Coast Guard said on its website on Thursday that the cause of the fire was unknown, but
00:30 an emergency responder is heard in a recording released by Dutch broadcaster RTL saying the
00:35 fire started in the battery of an electric car.
00:37 Roughly 25 out of 2,857 vehicles on the ship, which was en route from Germany to Egypt,
00:43 were electric.
00:44 An investigation has been launched by the Panama Maritime Authority and the Netherlands
00:49 was expected to assist the inquiry, Dutch safety boat spokesperson Arjen Zegers said.
00:55 Myanmar's ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been under military detention
01:01 since the coup in February 2021, has been transferred to Hausarest, citing prison sources.
01:06 Reports said that on Monday, she was taken to a government building in Nepito after spending
01:11 a year in solitary confinement.
01:13 While the military has not officially confirmed her transfer from prison to Hausarest, this
01:17 move could signal a positive sign from the authorities, according to reports.
01:21 This comes as international pressure and appeals consistently urge for the release of Myanmar's
01:26 democratically elected leader.
01:27 The 78-year-old Aung San Suu Kyi is currently serving a 33-year sentence after being jailed
01:32 in closed-door military-controlled trials.
01:35 These trials have been widely denounced as fraudulent across the globe.
01:41 During a remarkable congressional hearing, former American intelligence official David
01:44 Grouch revealed that the US government conducted a multi-decade program aimed at collecting
01:49 and reversing engineering crashed unidentified flying objects.
01:53 The Pentagon has however denied these claims.
01:55 David Grouch, who led analysis of unexplained anomalous phenomena within a US Department
02:00 of Defense agency until 2023, told the House Oversight Committee in Washington that non-human
02:05 beings had been found as the issue of alien life received its highest-profile airing to
02:10 date.
02:11 This hearing, prompted by Grouch's previous claims, attracted global interest and ignited
02:14 discussions about the possibility of a government cover-up regarding UFOs.
02:18 Grouch informed the committee that while carrying out his official duties, he was made aware
02:22 of a long-running program focused on retrieving and reverse-engineering crashed UAPs.
02:26 However, he was denied access to this program.
02:28 In 2022, Grouch filed a whistleblower complaint.
02:33 North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has met with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in
02:36 his first known meeting with a foreign dignitary since the COVID-19 pandemic.
02:40 North Korean state media reported that Kim and Shoigu discussed matters of mutual concern
02:44 related to defense and regional security.
02:46 Reports further said that they viewed an exhibition of weapons, including ballistic
02:49 missiles.
02:50 The official Korean Central News Agency said that the meeting between the two men was an
02:54 important occasion in further developing the strategic and traditional DPRK-Russia relations
02:59 as required by the new century.
03:00 DPRK is an abbreviation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
03:04 Reports said that Kim led Shoigu on a tour of a display of new weapons and military equipment.
03:09 The pictures of the exhibition showed banned ballistic missiles, multi-axle transporter
03:12 launchers and what appeared to be a new drone.
03:15 The KCNA said that Shoigu also gave Kim a letter from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
03:19 Reports said that Kim thanked Putin for sending a delegation led by Shoigu, who also held
03:23 talks with North Korean Defense Minister Kang Sun-nam.
