00:17That comes on the same day the IDF carried out another series of overnight strikes on
00:22Beirut's southern suburbs.
00:24The Israeli military said it targeted Hezbollah's Central Intelligence Headquarters around midnight.
00:30It didn't say who it was aiming for, but claimed to have killed 100 Hezbollah fighters in the
00:35last 24 hours.
00:37Around 1,400 Lebanese have been killed and some 1.2 million driven from their homes since
00:43Israel ramped up its aerial campaign in September.
00:49Meanwhile the US military struck several Houthi targets in Yemen, going after weapons systems,
00:54bases and other equipment belonging to the Iranian-backed rebels.
00:59According to Houthi media, seven strikes hit the airport in the major port city of Hodeidah
01:04and the Kataib area, which has a Houthi-controlled military base.
01:08The strikes come just days after the Houthis, who are allied with Hezbollah and Hamas, threatened
01:13escalating military operations targeting Israel.
01:22Ukraine's military intelligence agency has claimed responsibility for killing the head
01:26of security at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.
01:30The agency posted a video on its Telegram channel showing an SUV exploding.
01:35Hours later, the Russian investigative committee confirmed that Andrei Korotki was killed.
01:40The GUR said Korotki was a war criminal and voluntarily collaborated with Moscow after
01:45it seized control of the nuclear facility in the early weeks of the war.
01:50Meanwhile at least three people, including a six-year-old girl, have been killed when

02:30Bosnia's government has declared a state of emergency after at least 16 people were killed
02:35in flooding and landslides caused by a severe rainstorm.
02:39The flooding has affected several towns and villages in central and southern parts of
02:43the country.
02:45Rescue services in the south said several people were missing and called on volunteers
02:50to help as roads were closed and houses left without electricity.
02:54Defense Minister Zubukhan Helez told N1 regional television that troops have been deployed

03:40Certain FIFA rules on international player transfers are in breach of EU law.
03:45The EU's top court said on Friday.
03:47The Court of Justice of the European Union handed down its ruling following a decade-long
03:53legal challenge spearheaded by former footballer Lassana Diara.
03:57According to the ECJ, certain FIFA rules impede the free movement of footballers wanting to
04:03progress their careers by working for new clubs.
04:06In 2013, Diara signed a four-year contract with Russian team Lokomotiv Moscow, but the
04:12deal was terminated after Diara was allegedly unhappy with pay cuts.
04:16Lokomotiv Moscow applied to FIFA for compensation, with its arbitration court finding Diara's
04:22sacking was based on just cause.
04:24The player was ordered to pay the club millions of euros.
04:28Diara claimed his search for a new club was hampered by FIFA rules, stating any new side
04:33would be jointly responsible for paying Lokomotiv compensation.
04:37FIFA 5 Pro, the union representing footballers, celebrated the recent ECJ ruling, saying it
04:43would change the EU's sporting labour market.
