00:00At least 39 people have been killed in airstrikes across northern Gaza over the weekend.
00:11The body of one of three people that went missing in Switzerland due to extreme weather
00:17has been found.
00:20It's been one year since Mercenary Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin mounted his armed rebellion against
00:26Moscow.
00:35At least 39 people have been killed by Israeli strikes across northern Gaza.
00:41Israel said on Saturday that its fighter jets struck two Hamas military sites in the Gaza
00:46City area without giving any more details.
00:51Meanwhile an eyewitness from the International Red Cross has described the aftermath of an
00:55Israeli attack on Friday that killed 25 people near its hospital in Rafa.
01:00It was very close to where the impact of these hits occurred.
01:06Within moments we had a flood of wounded people show up at the gate of our compound.
01:14There were piles of dead bodies, blood everywhere.
01:20Frankly it's like nothing I've ever seen before.
01:24Since the war between Israel and Hamas began, at least 37,500 people have died.
01:33The body of one of three people that went missing in Switzerland due to extreme weather
01:39has been found, rescue services announced.
01:42Massive thunderstorms and rainfall battered the country's southeast over the weekend,
01:47causing a rock slide in the Alpine Valley in Graubünden.
01:51Authorities say there is a low chance the remaining two individuals that went missing
01:56in the rock slide will be found alive.
01:58Over 200 rescuers with excavators, search dogs, army helicopters and drones were involved
02:05in the search.
02:09It's been one year since Mercenary Chief Yevgeny Prigozhin mounted his brief armed rebellion
02:14in Russia, directly challenging Vladimir Putin's rule.
02:20Prigozhin and his army seized a military headquarters in the south and began their march for justice
02:25towards Moscow with the aim of ousting the defence ministry's leaders.
02:31Prigozhin had accused the ministry of starving his force of ammunition in Ukraine.
02:38But just hours later, the mission was aborted following an amnesty deal brokered by Belarus
02:43President Alexander Lukashenko.
02:47A few months later, a plane carrying Prigozhin and his top associates crashed while flying
02:52from Moscow to St. Petersburg, killing all seven passengers and a crew of three.
02:58A preliminary US intelligence assessment concluded there was an intentional explosion on board,
03:04but Putin dismissed any allegations of Kremlin involvement as an absolute lie.
03:12Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has accused the leader of the European Parliament's
03:19ruling majority of being anti-Hungarian.
03:23Orban on Friday described Manfred Weber, a German politician and leader of the European
03:29People's Party, EPP, as Hungarophobic.
03:42The accusations come after the EPP recently opened its arms to Orban's political opponent
04:00Peter Maier's Tizza party. Orban's Fidesz party quit the EPP group in the European Parliament
04:07in 2021 following a vote that paved the way for it to be suspended or excluded from the
04:13group.
04:38Hungary's centrist Tizza party, led by Maier, won seven of Hungary's 21 seats at the last
04:44EU elections. A record 50% of voters took part in the polls in Hungary.
