00:00Russia and Ukraine have swapped 95 prisoners of war each in their latest exchange deal.
00:20The swap was confirmed by both the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the Russian
00:25Defense Ministry.
00:27According to Ukraine's coordination headquarters for prisoners of war, some of those who were
00:32released on Wednesday had spent more than two years in captivity.
00:37The Russian Defense Ministry said the freed Russian soldiers will be flown to Moscow for
00:41medical treatment and rehabilitation.
01:41Earlier this week, North Korea hinted that it could adopt a new tactic besides sending
01:56trash balloons to counter the anti-Pyongyang leaflet campaign.
02:00South Korea's Defense Ministry believes this could involve landmines flowing into the south
02:04amid the ongoing downpours across the peninsula.
02:07North Korea has been planting mines on its side of the demilitarized zone since April.
02:12The Defense Ministry estimates that tens of thousands have been newly planted since, with
02:17some installed near rivers shared by the two Koreas.
03:18Crowds gather in the center of Paris to watch Mayor Anne Hidalgo go for a swim in the Seine.
03:32It's brilliant, great.
03:35She spearheaded a campaign to clean up the city's famous river to get it ready for the
03:40Summer Olympics.
03:43The main challenge? Rainwater.
03:47Paris has a combined sewage system that carries rainwater and sewage along a single pipe.
03:53If this pipe gets overloaded by rain, it can push sewage into the river.
04:16Autopsies have revealed traces of cyanide in six bodies found inside a luxury hotel
04:46room in Bangkok. Police say cups inside the room also contained cyanide.
04:51The bodies were found yesterday at the Grand Hyatt Erewhon Hotel.
04:55Hotel records showed no other visitors to the room where the three men and three women
05:00were found. They've been identified as two Vietnamese Americans and four Vietnamese
05:05nationals. Police say a dispute over an investment could be a possible motive.
