00:05of Lebanese seek refuge from the widening conflict.
00:10A former Belarusian prisoner sat down with Euronews to describe their experience imprisoned
00:16in the country.
00:24Seven strikes wounded at least seven people in the south-east Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia
00:30on Tuesday.
00:32This marks the third day of attacks on the city.
00:36Homes and cars were damaged.
00:38One resident was at home watching television when they heard an explosion.
00:42Meanwhile, Moscow released footage it claims shows strikes on Ukrainian
01:12troops and weaponry in Russia's border region of Kursk.
01:17Ukrainian forces launched an ambitious incursion into Kursk last month and are still holding
01:21ground despite Russian efforts to push them back.
01:30The Israeli military intercepted a missile launch from Lebanon into the central region
01:35of their country in the latest escalation of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.
01:41No injuries or damage were reported from the missile, which triggered sirens in cities
01:46like Tel Aviv and Netanya.
01:50This represents the furthest south missiles have penetrated Israel from Lebanon.
01:56The IDF said it had identified, struck and destroyed the building in southern Lebanon
02:01that launched the missile.
02:03Overnight, they also targeted a number of Hezbollah sites including weapon storage facilities
02:09that set off secondary explosions.
02:13Israel killed a top Hezbollah commander on Tuesday as part of a two-day bombing campaign
02:18that left more than 560 people dead and prompted thousands in southern Lebanon to seek refuge
02:24from the widening conflict.
02:27Portuguese, Spanish, French and UK governments are telling nationals in Lebanon to immediately
02:35leave due to increasing hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel.
02:40IDF strikes targeting members of the Lebanese militant group have killed at least 575 people
02:46in the country's south.
02:48A plane from Beirut landed at Copenhagen airport with passengers who escaped the violence.
03:05In Brussels, a European Commission spokesperson said leaders will discuss the ongoing situation
03:14at a United Nations Security Council meeting on Wednesday night.
03:19He added that if there is a need for coordinated evacuation, the EU is ready to act.
03:35Thousands of people in southern Lebanon have been displaced due to Israel's attacks.
03:56An IDF spokesperson said the campaign is designed to be as short as possible.
04:05Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti demands Serbia to hand over 45 indicted Serbian militants.
04:13They were charged for their alleged involvement in last year's attack that killed a Kosovan
04:18policeman.
04:20The Prime Minister also unveiled the street sign of Eroding Banska in northern Kosovo,
04:25which has been named after the police officer.
04:35Kurti says Serbia must be held responsible and accuses them of trying to annex part of
04:47Kosovo.
04:49He claims the paramilitary group was orchestrated and financed from Serbia, but Serbia says
04:54the gunmen acted on their own.
04:58Only three people have been arrested, while others are at large.
05:02The European Union and the United States condemned the attack and have called on Serbia
05:07to hand over the gunmen.
05:11Isolating and torturous, this is how Amnesty International describes the prison conditions
05:16for political prisoners in Belarus.
05:18Belarusian opposition activist Natalia Harsha has experienced this first hand.
05:23Now she is free again, she is fighting to ensure that the 1,400 people who are behind
05:29the bus in Belarus because of their ideas are not forgotten.
05:33Euronews spoke with her at the former Stasi prison in Berlin.
05:59The conditions in Belarusian prisons are harsh. Natalia had to spend 46 days in a cell one
06:13and a half metres wide because she refused to sew uniforms for the Belarusian regime.
06:29The temperature was so low, you could not sleep during the night.
06:36There was no bed linen, nothing cold, maybe ten minutes with your eyes closed and then
06:43you had to get up again to warm up.
06:46During this time I also injured my leg, it was broken.
06:53What were you allowed to do during this time?
07:00I did not try to scream, but I sang.
07:05At that time I was not alone in the cell, I mean in the same building, not in the same
07:12cell with another political prisoner.
07:18When she sang, I cried.
07:23When I sang, she was sad.
07:28Were there any songs that you sang?
07:33Yes, there was Kupalinka.
07:38Kupalinka is a well-known Belarusian folk song, often sung during the protests in Belarus
07:44and has become a symbol of resistance ever since.
07:53Pope Francis addressed a large crowd of faithful in the Vatican on Wednesday, expressing his
07:58closeness to the Lebanese people and calling the recent escalation in the country unacceptable.
08:04Tensions between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah have escalated in recent days,
08:10with cross-border strikes threatening to push the region into a wider conflict.
08:15I urge the international community to make every effort to stop this terrible escalation.
08:24It is unacceptable.
08:27I express my closeness to the Lebanese people, who have already suffered too much in the recent past.
08:38The Pope also asked faithful to pray for him ahead of his upcoming trip to Luxembourg and Belgium,
08:44which remains in place despite the pontiff cancelling all his audiences earlier on Monday
08:50because of a slight flu-like state.
08:53He will receive a sobering welcome in Belgium, confronted with the country's legacy of clergy
08:58sex abuse and institutional cover-up.
09:01Francis is set to meet with abuse survivors that have penned an open letter, asking him
09:06to launch a universal system of church reparations and assume responsibility
09:11for the wreckage on their lives caused by the abuse.
09:18They say the best way to learn is from one's mistakes.
09:21The headmaster of this high school in Rome told us that the belief convinced him
09:25to introduce the use of AI to enhance teaching.
09:28Not only that, but he believes such tool can also help reduce drop-out rates.
09:33Italy is among the first EU countries to have launched a pilot project to begin this year,
09:38introducing the use of AI in 15 schools across four regions.
10:04In this school, only fourth-year students will be involved in the trial.
10:10Using an online platform, they can improve their learning both in class and while doing homework.
10:16We asked one of the teachers involved in the project how it will work.
10:34Students welcomed the initiative.
10:36I think we all grew up with AI and its development.
10:40We all use it, but we are still aware that there are problems and uncertainties
10:47about the information that AI gives.
10:51The teachers have also realized that we use it, so it must be regulated.
10:59Initially, the program will be tested for a limited time, with the hope that it can be extended.
11:04This year, the trial will start on 15 national institutes.
11:10It will last for two years.
11:13Certainly, since it is an experimental project, it will be subject to subsequent assessments.
11:22Given the trend of attention to artificial intelligence,
11:29I imagine that it will be easily extended to all schools.
11:34Italy's education minister said one of the goals of using AI in schools
11:38is to bridge the gap between supply and demand and the labor market.
