00:00The explosion came around 3 a.m. local time, blowing out windows and damaging cars.
00:24A drone strike right in the heart of Tel Aviv, raining down shrapnel and shards of glass
00:30just metres from the US embassy.
00:33Even for a nation at war, this was a startling strike.
00:38The Iranian-made drone appears to have come from the Mediterranean Sea.
00:44No air raid alarms were triggered and it avoided the Iron Dome defence system.
00:54The International Court of Justice, the United Nations' top court, has branded Israel's presence
01:04in Palestinian-occupied territories unlawful.
01:08In an unprecedented move, the court called for an end to settlement construction and
01:13asked that existing settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem be removed.
01:19Israel did not send a legal team to the hearings but submitted written comments, saying that
01:24the questions put to the court were prejudiced and failed to address Israeli security concerns.
01:39For the second day in a row, South Korea's military responded strongly to North Korea's
01:43latest balloon provocations.
01:45From around 4 PM on Friday, the military resumed loudspeaker broadcasts over the border
01:50against the North.
01:52The broadcasts include commentaries on topics the North's regime is especially sensitive
01:57about, including criticizing the ruling Kim family and promoting capitalism.
02:02The military said in a statement that Friday's decision came as it has observed signs of
02:06the regime preparing to send more balloons over the border.
02:15Four boats carrying more than 300 migrants have docked at the Spanish island of Gran
02:23Canaria in less than 24 hours.
02:27One of the vessels, a wooden boat carrying 64 people, arrived at the island unassisted.
02:33Another of the boats was escorted to port by the Maritime Safety and Rescue Society
02:38after being spotted around 15 kilometers southeast of the archipelago.
02:43That boat was carrying 145 people, all of sub-Saharan African origin.
02:57The first American journalist charged with espionage in Russia since the Cold War.
03:02Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was sentenced to 16 years in a maximum security
03:06penal colony in Russia.
03:09There were only two hearings in Gershkovich's case, both held behind closed doors in the
03:13Euro city of Yekaterinburg this summer.
03:16The prosecution accused him of collecting secret information about the work of Russia's
03:20defense enterprise, Uralvagonzavod, that produces and repairs military equipment.
03:25He was first arrested and detained in March 2023.
03:37The day the Earth stood still.
03:39A glitch brought Microsoft computers crashing across planet Earth, triggering blue screens
03:44of death even in Times Square.
03:46That screen is not normal.
03:49All flights grounded.
03:50Most major airports across America were brought to a standstill.
03:54A FlightAware map shows how crowded Friday skies emptied as hundreds of flights were
03:59grounded.
04:00LAX was a sea of unchecked baggage and frustrated passengers.
04:04CrowdStrike, which is the cyber security company that takes responsibility for the glitch,
04:08has issued a statement.
04:09It says this was not a cyber attack.
04:21Carnage at the bottom of a barley cliff.
04:23And inside this downed helicopter, Australian Russell Harris is in the fight of his life
04:29as he's freed from the wreckage.
04:32The former miner from Western Australia had been on a scenic flight for his 46th birthday.
04:38Probably three, four minutes into it, we see a kite a bit too late.
04:43With the kite string tangled around the main rotor, the helicopter lost control.
04:48Which made us drop 30 metres, 50 metres quite quickly.
04:51Before a massive impact.
04:54Russell, his Indonesian partner Kayla, his friend Chris from Perth and two crew took
04:59off from South Kuta around 2.30 yesterday afternoon.
05:03The pilot crashing nine kilometres west near Sulabhan beach.
05:07Miraculously, all five people on board survived, most with just minor injuries.
