00:07 Moscow concert hall.
00:10 ISIS claim responsibility for the mass shooting on Krokus city hall, although this has not
00:15 been confirmed by the Kremlin.
00:18 A group of gunmen in combat gear stormed the hall on Friday night, opening fire at point
00:23 blank range and throwing explosives.
00:27 Video posted on social media showed huge plumes of black smoke rising over the building.
00:35 Russian authorities say 11 people have been detained.
00:41 The assault occurred days after Vladimir Putin cemented his power in a landslide election

00:48 US intelligence officials have confirmed ISIS claim, saying they had intel on a looming
00:55 attack and had shared this with Russian authorities.
01:11 Spain, Ireland, Malta and Slovenia are ready to recognise the state of Palestine.
01:19 The four European countries have announced that they will do it at the margins of a European
01:22 summit in Brussels.
01:25 According to their statement, the recognition won't come yet as they're waiting for the
01:29 circumstances to be right so it will make a positive contribution.
01:33 "The moment has come for this recognition to help the peace process, in the end of violence
01:44 and therefore the establishment of a lasting peace with mutual security and recognition
01:51 by the Arab community towards the state of Israel and the rest of the West towards the
01:56 state of Palestine."
01:57 There are already eight countries in the European Union that recognise Palestine.
02:02 Most of them belong to Eastern Europe and did so before joining the EU.
02:08 Sweden is the only country that was already a member state when the decision was taken
02:11 and was the first to do so.
02:16 The statement comes a day after the EU called for the first time for a ceasefire in Gaza.

02:58 Meanwhile, Kharkiv was left without electricity, water or transport and the metro was operating
03:03 as a shelter.
03:04 It follows a massive Russian barrage targeting electrical power facilities in much of Ukraine.
03:10 "Two years of war have taught us a lot.
03:14 The plant is powered by generators.
03:15 We switched to autonomous power supply.
03:16 The plant has its own well for supplying water.
03:17 Unfortunately, it does not provide high pressure, it provides the lower floors.
03:18 But in principle, the problem is solved."
03:27 Russian military also said that the strikes were also on foreign military equipment and
03:31 weapons delivered to Ukraine from NATO countries.
03:35 In Kamelnitsky after three Russian attacks in the morning, rescue and cleaning operations

03:59 and called it unacceptable and inadmissible.
04:03 Since Wednesday, messages have been sent via hacked digital workspaces with threats of
04:08 terrorist attacks accompanied by a beheading video.
04:12 "It was pure hatred, pure hatred against people who are totally innocent, who are outside
04:17 of all this, who are just studying in high school."
04:18 "I didn't see the video, they told me not to open it because it had a sensitive content,
04:19 but I was really scared."
04:25 The Ministry of Education is providing psychological support to those who have seen the videos.
04:31 The Paris Public Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation into charges of fraudulent
04:36 use of an automated data processing system and fraudulent introduction of data.
