00:00Russia's Friday night strikes on Ukraine leave at least 14 people dead and 30 people injured.
00:11Iran has denied receiving any letter from US President Donald Trump dismissing the prospects
00:16of nuclear negotiations with Washington.
00:20At least 14 people have been killed and as many as 30 people were injured in a fresh
00:25wave of Russian strikes on Ukraine.
00:28Local officials in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region said 11 people were killed, while authorities
00:34in the Kharkiv region said three people had died from the Russian drone strike overnight.
00:39The attacks came hours after the US confirmed it had limited Ukraine's access to satellite
00:44imagery.
00:45Ukrainian authorities released video footage showing flames engulfing a multi-storey building
01:06in Dobriya following the Russian strikes overnight.
01:10The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attacks, saying such strikes
01:15show that Russia's goals aren't changed.
01:21US President Donald Trump says he has sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah
01:27Ali Khamenei seeking a new nuclear deal with Tehran to restrain its rapidly advancing nuclear
01:32program, something Iranian authorities have denied.
01:36Speaking to reporters on Friday, Trump said he prefers taking a peaceful approach.
01:41However, Iran denied receiving any letter from Trump and reaffirmed its position, stressing
02:08that it will not engage in any kind of negotiations with Washington.
02:12In 2019, the Ayatollah refused to accept a letter sent by Trump via the late Japanese
02:17Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
02:24Thousands of protesters took to the streets across Slovakia to demonstrate against populist
02:28Prime Minister Robert Fico and his pro-Russian policies.
02:32Protests have been taking place regularly since late December after the Slovak premier
02:36visited Moscow to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
02:40The trip was a rare visit by a European Union leader to the Kremlin since it launched its
02:45full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
02:49Protesters accused him of abandoning Europe, favoring to align with Russia instead.
02:54Fico has on multiple occasions threatened to pull Slovakia out of the EU and NATO.
02:59His closest aides have also recently enraged the public after expressing pro-Russian sentiments.
03:04His chief advisor has recently stated that Slovakia will finally have a reliable neighbor
03:08if Russia were to conquer Ukraine.
03:11Fico, whose leftist mayor party won a parliamentary election in 2023, has employed a highly anti-Ukraine
03:18stance.
03:19Since he assumed office, he's ended Slovakia's military and financial support for Kiev, criticized
03:25EU sanctions on Russia, and vowed to block Ukraine from joining NATO.
03:34Pope Francis spends a calm night in hospital as he continues to recover from double pneumonia,
03:40according to the Vatican.
03:43He enters his fourth week at Rome's Gemelli Hospital, where he is carrying out respiratory
03:49and physical therapy, says the Vatican.
03:53While Rome celebrates a weekend dedicated to the Vatican machinery and the Holy Year
