00:00At least four soldiers have been killed in a Hezbollah drone attack on an army base in central Israel.
00:12Iceland's Prime Minister dissolves the ruling three-party coalition saying infighting makes it impossible to govern.
00:21Kamala Harris slams Donald Trump for spreading disinformation about the government's response to Hurricanes Milton and Helene.
00:31At least four soldiers have been killed and around 60 others severely wounded in a Hezbollah drone attack on an army base in central Israel.
00:41It's the deadliest strike by the militant group on Israeli territory since the IDF launched its ground operation into Lebanon nearly two weeks ago.
00:50The strike was hard. The hit caused injuries to both the target and the missile.
00:57The wounds were severe. The wounds were treated with life-saving drugs and life-saving medication.
01:04The wounded were quickly taken to hospital.
01:08Hezbollah said the attack near Binyamina was in retaliation for Israel's military intervention.
01:15Hezbollah said the attack near Binyamina was in retaliation for Israeli strikes on Beirut on Thursday that killed 22 people.
01:24The group also said it launched dozens of missiles to occupy Israeli air defense systems which set off air raid sirens further north in the city of Haifa.
01:34Hezbollah is ideologically aligned with the Gaza-based militant group Hamas and began firing at Israel a day after the war in the Strip started in October last year.
01:44Those almost daily exchanges of fire have displaced tens of thousands of people on both sides of the border.
01:51Israel has carried out increasingly heavy strikes into parts of Lebanon far from the southern border including the capital Beirut and at the end of September launched a ground offensive.
02:01It's estimated there are 15,000 Israeli soldiers operating in Lebanon.
02:06The health ministry says more than 1,400 people have been killed in Lebanon since September but doesn't say how many were Hezbollah fighters.
02:14At least 58 people have been killed in rocket attacks on Israel, nearly half of them soldiers.
02:25North Korea is sending arms and soldiers to support Russian troops, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
02:33He made the comments on Sunday during a daily address to the nation.
02:37Zelensky added Ukraine's relations with Western partners must be strengthened to keep the opposing alliance at bay.
02:45The Kremlin has previously dismissed the claims with government spokesperson Dmitry Peskov telling reporters in Moscow this looks like another bit of fake news.
02:55People in Iceland could be heading back to the polls in November after Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson announced the dissolution of the country's governing coalition.
03:09Speaking at a surprise press conference in Reykjavik, Benediktsson cited infighting between the three political parties that make up the coalition as his reason for ending it.
03:18Iceland's coalition government is made up of Benediktsson's Conservative Independence Party, the centre-right Progressive Party and the leftist Greens.
03:49Benediktsson said parliamentary elections are slated to take place on the 13th of November if President Hattori Tomasdotir accepts the motion to dissolve parliament.
04:01But one member of the coalition said the decision had come as a surprise.
04:19The ruling coalition in power since November 2021 has faltered under a raft of problems, particularly after a series of volcanic eruptions in the country forced thousands to evacuate their homes.
04:35That put more pressure on an economy already dealing with high inflation and rising interest rates.
04:41The European Commission wants Chinese online marketplace Timu to clarify what it is doing to prevent the sale of illegal products on its website.
04:55Timu is among a group of companies such as Amazon, Apple and Sheen that have received requests for information from the European Commission.
05:05The company has until the 21st of October to reply to the Commission's questions.
05:11For months Timu has been obliged to comply with the European Digital Services Act as it was designated a very large online platform with more than 45 million EU users in May.
05:24The Association of European Retailers warns of unfair competition.
05:30I think as a consumer you should be able to trust that the products that you buy online are safe, that your rights are respected.
05:40And I think this is where we see the problem, that these players don't respect the rules.
05:46And in the end you might think as a consumer you have a deal, but then you might not have the break repair, there might be some kind of high levels of chemicals in there which is bad for your health, it might be made with forced labour.
06:04In a statement provided to Euronews, Timu says it's cooperating with the European Commission's request.
06:12Consumer safety is a top priority and we welcome feedback from all stakeholders, a company spokesperson said.
06:21But if Brussels decides the shopping platform does not comply with the legislation, it may impose a financial penalty.
06:30Kamala Harris has used a campaign rally in North Carolina to slam Donald Trump for spreading misinformation about the Biden administration's hurricane response.
06:43The Democratic presidential nominee praised the heroes all around who are helping residents without regard to political affiliation.
06:51She blasted those who try to gain political advantage from other people's misfortune, saying it wasn't the time to incite fear, adding that's not what leaders do.
07:01Trump made a series of false claims after Helene struck in late September, including saying that Washington was intentionally withholding aid from Republicans in need across the southeast.
07:13While Harris was speaking in Greenville, Biden was in Florida to inspect hurricane-damaged areas, his second visit this month.
07:22The president said he was thankful that Milton wasn't as bad as officials had anticipated, but that it was still a cataclysmic event for many people.
07:31With only 22 days until the 5th November presidential election, the race is as close as ever.
07:37A new CNN poll of polls average shows no clear leader, with an average of 50% of voters expected to support Harris and 47% backing Trump.
07:52Reception centers built by Italy in Albania are now ready to host migrants, 11 months after the agreement between the two countries was signed.
08:02At a first stage, a maximum of 400 people are being sent there, only men rescued by Italian ships in the Mediterranean Sea and transported to Albania.
08:12Italian staff are running the center, with interpreters, medical visits and the possibility of applying for asylum guaranteed.
08:31The village of Yadr is a 30-minute drive inland. Here, the major center is located, divided into six parts.
08:44It is supposed to host up to 3,000 people in the future.
08:48The main section is meant to house asylum seekers while their requests are being processed.
08:54Applications must be answered within 28 days, according to the accelerated procedure foreseen in Italian law.
09:01During this time, applicants will be able to meet lawyers and staff from international organizations.
09:07Those who are not entitled to asylum end up in another part of the camp.
09:32There is also a prison with a capacity of 20 places for migrants who commit crimes.
09:38But in fact, the entire center of Yadr is a place of forced detention, fenced off and monitored by Italian police officers.
09:46Nobody is allowed to leave it.
10:01A lot of money will be repatriated to the countries of origin, always at expense and under the responsibility of Italy.
10:08To build these structures, tens of millions of euros have been spent,
10:13but the authorities are not able to quantify the total cost of the procedures for the five years of the agreement between Italy and Albania.
10:21Vincenzo Genovese, Euronews, Yadr.
10:25The Dresden Symphony Orchestra presented an innovative world premiere on Saturday.
10:32Instead of a flesh-and-bone individual conducting the performance,
10:37three robotic arms guided the musicians as they played a bespoke piece titled Robot Symphony.
10:44We don't want to replace a conductor.
10:47We don't want to replace a conductor.
10:50I believe that a human being can always do better.
10:54The rehearsal work, the mimicry.
10:57For example, if you were to play Beethoven, you wouldn't need such a robot.
11:02But if you were to write a piece that would make the orchestra play at different speeds,
11:10at different tempos, then it would make sense.
11:13You can't do that all over the world.
11:14The East German Musical Institution celebrated its 25-year anniversary by looking into the future.
11:21The Dresden Symphony Orchestra is known for pushing boundaries, which this time even challenged its musicians.
11:27It's completely different.
11:29It's also without mercy.
11:31It waits for no one.
11:33It pulls through like a machine.
11:35Attendees of the debut performance lauded the innovation,
11:38with others stating the piece, riddled with multiple time signatures,
11:41sounded like it came from a single source.
