00:00President Zelensky asked the United Nations to force Russia into respecting the UN Charter.
00:10The Israeli attacks are an existential threat to us, says the Lebanese ambassador to Brussels
00:15and asks the EU to review its relations with Israel.
00:22Brussels and Italy launched an AI pilot project in an effort to enhance teaching.
00:35President Zelensky asked the United Nations to force Russia into respecting the UN Charter.
00:41He reminds nations that the war can't be paused or forgotten in his speech given to the UN
00:46Security Council.
00:48Zelensky adds that the war cannot end by just peace talks and that action is needed.
01:16The Ukrainian president is expected to present his complete victory plan to Biden at the
01:21White House this week.
01:24He also plans to discuss it with presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
01:30Zelensky previously only alluded to the plan and said it would be the foundation for any
01:34future peace negotiations with Russia.
01:41At least three people have died and 30 others have been injured in a Russian strike which
01:47has partially destroyed a residential building in Kharkiv.
01:51According to the mayor of Kharkiv, the building was undergoing repairs after a previous strike
01:57and was nearly ready for winter.
02:00Footage shows the extent of the damage on the large apartment block with a collapsed
02:05central section.
02:07Officials said on telegram that the strike was a glide bomb attack and people remain
02:12trapped under the rubble as rescue operations are ongoing.
02:17Ukrainian officials said the strike came as Ukrainian troops engaged in hand-to-hand combat
02:24as they drove Russian forces out of a huge processing plant in the town of Vovzhansk
02:29in Ukraine's northeast that had been occupied for four months.
02:42The Israeli military intercepted a missile launch from Lebanon into the central region
02:47of their country in the latest escalation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.
02:53No injuries or damage were reported from the missile, which triggered sirens in cities
02:58like Tel Aviv and Netanya.
03:02This represents the furthest south missiles have penetrated Israel from Lebanon.
03:08The IDF said it had identified, struck and destroyed the building in southern Lebanon
03:13that launched the missile.
03:15Overnight, they also targeted a number of Hezbollah sites including weapons storage
03:20facilities that set off secondary explosions.
03:25Israel killed a top Hezbollah commander on Tuesday as part of a two-day bombing campaign
03:30that left more than 560 people dead and prompted thousands in southern Lebanon to seek refuge
03:36from the widening conflict.
03:41Israel's attacks are an existential threat to Lebanon, says Lebanese ambassador to Brussels
03:46Fadi Hajjali in an interview with Euronews.
03:51Over 500 people died in two days of bombing, while the international community fears an
03:55escalation of the conflict across the entire Middle Eastern region.
04:01For the ambassador, it is clear that Israel is targeting the human population and the
04:05civilians.
04:06Absolutely.
04:07Absolutely.
04:08What's happening is an existential threat to Lebanon.
04:10The huge number of casualties are just atrocious.
04:16I mean, it's something unheard of in Lebanon in one day.
04:23And we hope that the international community would gather around and try to enforce a cessation
04:29of hostilities, immediate cessation of hostilities.
04:34The Israeli armed forces claim to have struck dozens of Hezbollah targets.
04:38The Islamist paramilitary organization that controls much of Lebanon and often attacks
04:42northern Israel.
04:44For Fadi Hajjali, the war is against an entire people.
04:47Actually, I mean, the narrative is wrong because it's today, it's a war against, waged against
04:56the country, the people, civilians.
05:00That's number one.
05:02And we, for us now, the main important issue is that this war should stop and should stop
05:08now.
05:09If we are going to have this Israeli blatant offensive and aggression against our country,
05:19we are all united to denounce that.
05:22The ambassador thanks the European Union for the economic support and the condemnatory
05:26statements of its high representative for foreign affairs, Joseph Borrell.
05:31But he asks for a step further.
05:33I mean, it's clear that sanctioned, Israel should be, should be sanctioned.
05:38We should really look seriously into the transgressions that have been done by Israel.
05:45International Court of Justice has said so in two statements at least.
05:50So there are various possibilities to base yourselves, I mean, the EU institutions and
05:58the member states to sanction Israel.
06:02If not, at least we should review the whole aspect of the relation.
06:07Thank you very much, Ambassador.
06:08Thank you very much.
06:17Swedish authorities accuse Iran of spreading text messages that led to violent protests
06:24after the burning of the Koran in 2023 by a handful of anti-Islam activists.
06:30Officials in Stockholm claim that Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard carried out a data breach
06:37of a major Swedish SMS provider and have accused Iran of being responsible for around
06:4415,000 text messages.
06:46Iranian authorities have not commented on Sweden's accusations.
06:51In August 2023, Swedish media reported that a large number of people in Sweden had received
06:58text messages in Swedish calling for revenge against people who were burning the Koran.
07:04The burning protests were allowed under the Freedom of Speech Act, which is protected
07:09under the Swedish constitution and were approved by police.
07:17Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti demands Serbia to hand over 45 indicted Serbian militants.
07:25They were charged for their alleged involvement in last year's attack that killed a Kosovan
07:30policeman.
07:32The Prime Minister also unveiled the street sign of a road in Banjska in northern Kosovo,
07:37which has been named after the police officer.
07:40There will be no place for refugees who want to fight in Kosovo and the Balkans.
07:47I don't know about Serbia, but they won't walk in Kosovo.
07:53Kurti says Serbia must be held responsible and accuses them of trying to annex part of Kosovo.
08:00He claims the paramilitary group was orchestrated and financed from Serbia, but Serbia says
08:06the gunmen acted on their own.
08:09Only three people have been arrested, while others are at large.
08:14The European Union and the United States condemned the attack and have called on Serbia to hand
08:19over the gunmen.
08:24Human-induced climate change doubled the likelihood and intensified rainfall that led to the deadly
08:30floods in Central Europe.
08:31That is according to a new, rapid study.
08:35Human-induced climate change, so caused by the burning of oil, coal and gas, has increased
08:42the likelihood and intensity of the rainfall that caused these floods, and we found that
08:49climate change approximately doubled the likelihood of such an event to occur, and that the intensity
08:55increased by something between 7 and 20 percent.
09:00Floods as a result of heavy rainfall killed 24 people and left a trail of destruction
09:04from Romania to Poland earlier this month.
09:08The four-day rainfall was the heaviest ever recorded in Central Europe.
09:16They say the best way to learn is from one's mistakes.
09:20The headmaster of this high school in Rome told us that the belief convinced him to introduce
09:24the use of AI to enhance teaching.
09:26Not only that, but he believes such a tool can also help reduce dropout rates.
09:31Italy is among the first EU countries to have launched a pilot project to begin this year,
09:37introducing the use of AI in 15 schools across four regions.
09:54In this school, only fourth-year students will be involved in the trial.
10:09Using an online platform, they can improve their learning both in class and while doing
10:14homework.
10:15We asked one of the teachers involved in the project how it will work.
10:24Students welcomed the initiative.
10:55Initially, the program will be tested for a limited time with the hope that it can be
11:02extended.
11:24Italy's education minister said one of the goals of using AI in schools is to bridge
11:37the gap between supply and demand in the labour market.
