00:00After deadly flooding devastated parts of Spain, rubbish buildup is now leading to rats and health issues.
00:11WMO warns the world is already becoming dangerously overheated as the COP29 UN climate summit kicks off in Baku.
00:22At least eight people were killed in Israel's northernmost attack on Lebanon in a year.
00:31The world is already becoming dangerously overheated and the pace of climate change is accelerating according to the World Meteorological Organization.
00:42They've just released their latest global state of the climate report for 2024, showing that the past decade was the warmest on record.
00:51And it's exactly what scientists had predicted, according to Director General Celeste Di Saulo.
00:56It's being more accentuated than expected, but it's not a surprise.
01:01And we have to admit that scientists have been marking this for many years, more than 30 as well.
01:08And what is a surprise is the slow reaction time.
01:25And of course floods like we saw in Spain.
01:47It's a grim outlook. Greenhouse gas emissions may be falling in Europe, but they're still rising around the globe.
01:54And it doesn't matter to the atmosphere whether the CO2 was emitted in Beijing, Baku or Berlin.
02:00More heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere means more warming for everyone.
02:04And that's the bottom line.
02:06Jeremy Wilkes at COP29 in Baku in Azerbaijan for Euronews.
02:09Thousands of anti-government protesters marched in the Serbian capital, demanding the resignation of top officials after a concrete roof at a railway station collapsed and killed 14 people earlier this month.
02:28Those rallying in Belgrade blamed the collapse of the roof on rampant corruption and sloppy renovation work on the station building in the northern Serbian city of Novi Sad.
02:40The several thousand protesters demanded that the Serbian prime minister and his government step down and that those responsible for the collapse be arrested.
02:50Authorities have opened an investigation and the Serbian construction minister resigned last week.
02:55But no one has yet been charged with the incident which occurred on November 1st.
03:01Serbian government officials have promised full accountability, but there is widespread scepticism as the populace control both the police and the judiciary.
03:14Echoes remain of last week's clashes in Amsterdam between Israeli Maccabi supporters and pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
03:22Dozens of European leaders condemned the attack as targeted and anti-Semitic, but many took to social media and claimed the Israeli football fans provoked the violence.
03:34Euronews went to Amsterdam and spoke with representatives of different communities, revealing that Thursday's incident is much more nuanced than initially appeared.
03:44If you see the images of Israeli people that of course also are partly hooligan and also really did, I think, things that were not good in the day before, you really should condemn that.
03:56And I really can understand that young Muslim people here feel, you know, triggered by it and want to do something back.
04:02I can understand how that works, you know, I don't agree with it.
04:06But then you see as Jews living in Israel or living here in the Netherlands, you see Israelis being attacked, but being asked by the people while they are being attacked if they are Jewish.
04:19So you see their, you know, discrimination and it frightens you.
04:23Almost everyone Euronews spoke to felt targeted to a certain extent because of their identity.
04:29Daniela Coronel, a Jewish Dutch volunteer, helped host Maccabi fans in hotels before their return to Israel.
04:36She said it was the first time she felt the need to hide her identity.
04:40It's really dangerous to tell wherever that you are Jewish or maybe have Israeli family or so.
04:53We are really, really scared at the moment about what's going on and about the anti-Semitism and the Netherlands not really doing something to change that.
05:06Before being attacked by pro-Palestinian demonstrators on Thursday, Maccabi fans tore down Palestinian flags and chanted racist anti-Arab slurs.
05:17Pro-Palestine activist Rose Ikema said Thursday's violence was politically charged.
05:22This was a political action and we cannot use anti-Semitism.
05:29This city is full of people who are Jewish who are demonstrating side by side to us.
05:33A lot of people felt uncomfortable to even wear a keffiyeh all week because we've heard about the racist attacks all week
05:39and about buildings and people being targeted because they look Muslim or because they wear a keffiyeh.
05:44Dutch pro-Palestinian groups had urged the city to cancel the match days ahead as a protest against Israel's ongoing war in Gaza.
05:52Journalist Bob Snevely said local authorities made a few vital mistakes leading up to the incident.
05:58First of all, banning the legal demonstration because then people would have been in one place.
06:04The authorities know how to deal with these situations.
06:07And secondly, allowing Maccabi hooligans for two days to roam the streets and intimidate people.
06:14Meanwhile, Paris gears up to ensure security as Israel is set to play against France on Thursday.
06:21Authorities in Valencia have ruled out any imminent resignations from the regional government
06:29as anger continues to grow over the response to catastrophic flooding.
06:34Thousands of people staged a protest on Saturday night
06:38accusing the regional government of sending out public warnings about the dangers of the flooding too slowly.
06:44A group of protesters demanding the resignation of regional president Carlos Mazón
06:50clashed with riot police in front of the city hall.
06:53The EFE news agency said at least 31 police officers were injured in the violence.
06:59But the region's vice president said no one would be stepping down as to do so would be a betrayal of the victims.
07:06At least 222 people have been killed in Spain's worst natural disaster in decades.
07:12The flooding started after torrential rain lashed the eastern region of Valencia on 29 October
07:18with some areas receiving a year's worth of rain in just eight hours.
07:23The central government in Madrid has mobilized thousands of troops and police officers to help with relief and clean-up operations.
07:30And thousands of ordinary citizens have also stepped up to help
07:34with no definite estimate as to exactly how many have come forward.
07:38The full extent of the damage is unknown, but Spain's Consortium for Insurance Compensation
07:44estimates that it will pay out at least 3.5 billion euros in compensation.
07:58The Franco-German alliance has stalled.
08:01Weakened domestically, both governments now face greater challenges in promoting their agendas in Europe.
08:07In Germany, the traffic-like coalition fell apart after the finance minister's dismissal.
08:12In France, Macron's political support has significantly eroded.
08:37After Donald Trump's election, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced plans to meet with European leaders to discuss EU defence policy.
09:02NATO leaders, along with those from the UK, France, the Baltics and Scandinavia, will be invited.
09:09Yet, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz hasn't received an invitation.
09:15Germany's political crisis couldn't come at a worse time.
09:18With Trump soon returning to the White House, he may attempt to sow divisions within the EU.
09:24Donald Trump has every interest to bilateralise transatlantic relations,
09:29because he knows that if he speaks to Viktor Orban, to Emmanuel Macron, to Olaf Scholz or his successor bilaterally,
09:37that he will have much more weight in tariff discussions, in discussions on European defence,
09:43than if he would speak to a bloc of 27 EU member states that have a common position,
09:49and I think that's a big risk right now.
09:52The threat of recession in Germany could place additional stress on the Franco-German engine.
09:58Germany, the EU's largest economy, will be focused on the election campaign,
10:03as Trump returns and threatens to impose tariffs on European imports.
10:07At least eight people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on northern Lebanon on Monday, according to Lebanon's health ministry.
10:15The attack marks the northernmost point attacked so far by Israeli forces since a year of fighting,
10:22in a village far from the Hezbollah militant group's main areas of influence in the south and east.
10:28The attack was carried out by the Israeli military,
10:31in a village far from the Hezbollah militant group's main areas of influence in the south and east.
10:38On Tuesday, at least 14 Palestinians were killed in two separate strikes on northern Gaza,
10:45one of which hit a cafeteria in the Muwassi humanitarian zone west of the city of Khan Yunis.
10:51Officials at the Nasser Hospital, where the victims were taken, said two children were among the dead.
10:57Meanwhile, Israel's finance minister said he will push for Israel
11:02to annex parts of the occupied West Bank after Donald Trump takes office.
11:07The government of Israel must act against the new president,
11:12excuse me, against the new government of President Trump,
11:16against the international community,
11:19against Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria,
11:21against American and international recognition,
11:24and to end the Israeli-Arab conflict in the Middle East.
11:30The call was quickly condemned by EU top diplomat Joseph Borrell in a post on X,
11:36who called it a clear step towards illegal annexation.
