00:00Bangladesh's Prime Minister has resigned after protesters stormed her official residence.

00:14Iran has vowed to respond with power and decisiveness to the assassination of Hamas top political

00:20leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran last week.

00:26Iran has blamed Haniyeh's death on Israel, raising fears of a retaliatory attack which

00:31could trigger the outbreak of a wider war in the region.

00:36The Islamic Republic of Iran, in taking advantage of its own right, based on the principles,

00:44rules and regulations of international law, in ensuring its security and warning of excesses,

00:54will definitely take a serious and resolute action with strength, power, determination

01:01and firmness.

01:04Meanwhile, a Hamas representative in Iran has provided more information about the death

01:10of Haniyeh, claiming he was killed when the building in which he was staying was hit by

01:15a rocket or missile.

01:18Iran's Revolutionary Guard has accused the United States of carrying out the attack with

01:23Israel.

01:24It comes as Lebanese militant group Hezbollah says it launched a drone attack on northern

01:29Israel that the Israeli military said wounded two troops.

01:34The attack did not, however, appear to be part of the larger retaliation expected from

01:39Iran.

01:41Concerns have also been raised in Greece, where intelligence services have been warned

01:46that Iranian-backed terrorists may attempt to target Israeli interests there.

01:52UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said a standing army comprising specialist officers would

02:02be developed to manage far-right riots gripping the country.

02:06The justice system would also be, quote, ramped up to name roughly 400 offenders arrested

02:12as part of the violence, he said.

02:14We will not tolerate attacks on mosques or our Muslim communities.

02:19So the full force of the law will be visited on all those who are identified as having

02:26taken part in these activities.

02:28Starmer held an urgent meeting with Cabinet members and intelligence officials at No.

02:3310 Downing Street to tackle far-right protests spreading throughout Britain.

02:39The lawlessness started after three girls were stabbed to death in a dance class in

02:44the English town of Southport.

02:47Misinformation on social media about the identity of the alleged perpetrator pitted rioters

02:53against immigrants and the Muslim community, leading to attacks on asylum-seeker centers

02:58and hospitalized police officers.

03:06Seventy-three migrants were rescued at sea by non-profit organization Doctors Without

03:11Borders.

03:12The NGO performed two rescue operations off the Libyan coast.

03:17On Friday night, the organization helped 47 people after their boat got into trouble.

03:22And on Saturday morning, another 26 people were rescued from another boat, all safely

03:27boarded onto a rescue ship that is now heading to its assigned port of Ravenna in Italy.

03:32The NGO says that two people refused help on Friday but were assisted later by two unmarked

03:38boats that identified themselves as the Libyan Coast Guard.

03:41And also on Saturday, the Libyan Coast Guard was spotted taking 80 migrants from an overcrowded

03:47dinghy.

03:49Bulgaria will hold its seventh parliamentary elections in just over three years after the

03:55main parties failed to form a government.

03:58The Researcher People ITN party returned to third government forming mandates to President

04:03Remen Radev, unfulfilled on Monday.

04:06Chair of the ITN parliamentary group said the parties had been unable to find common

04:11ground.

04:12President Radev is expected to appoint a caretaker prime minister and schedule new elections

05:00area.

05:05Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikhi Hasina has resigned and fled the country, announced

05:11the country's Army Chief General, after thousands of protesters stormed her official residence,

05:16defying a military curfew put in place after weeks of protests.

05:20The Army Chief General has said an interim government will be formed.

05:40The General also said he would investigate the deadly police crackdowns which have killed

05:45almost 300 protesters as of Sunday.

06:10Hasina's resignation brings to an end an 15-year rule in power.

06:33The main energy resource of North Macedonia is coal. Because of these several cities in

06:37the country, during the winter period, when the need for electricity is increased, are

06:41often on the list of the 10 most polluted cities in Europe.

06:45Behind me you can see the coal-fired thermal power plant that provides two-thirds of North

06:52Macedonia's electricity needs.

06:54In accordance with obligations undertaken from the Green Agenda of the European Integration

06:58Process, the thermal power plant should be transformed and adapted to renewable energy

07:03sources by 2032.

07:06We have already invested in photovoltaic power plants in Kichevo and Bitola, which are now

07:12being built around the river.

07:14Photovoltaic power plants only work at night.

07:16A hydropower plant should be built.

07:18We have a part of it, the Marijovski district, close to the river and around the river.

07:22We already have a large construction site there, 400 kilowatts away in Ostanica.

07:28We have a river construction site.

07:30Nuclear power can be easily connected here.

07:36The Green Agenda of the European Integration Process recommends the creation of an educational

07:40center for the construction and development, which will provide it with EUR 26.4 million

07:44that should support the energy transition, according to the Green Agenda.

07:48Within these funds, the creation of an educational center is planned, which will help the state

07:52to provide human resources necessary for the management of the new energy systems.

07:56There should be physicists, engineers, computer scientists, a lot of them, because the whole

08:02system will be connected via the Internet and computers.

08:08Parallel to the transformation of the energy infrastructural capacities,

08:12North Macedonia should invest in opening new green jobs that would neutralize

08:16the social shock that will cause the closure of this thermal power plant,

08:20which currently provides 2,500 jobs.

08:24French authorities are using discretionary powers under an anti-terror law

08:28to keep those they deem to be potential security threats away from the Olympics.

08:32Those subject to the measures are largely from minority backgrounds,

08:36particularly from former French colonies.

08:40Many have been forbidden from leaving their neighborhoods

08:44and ordered to report to police on a daily basis.

08:4921-year-old bank apprentice Amine, who was born in France,

08:53is among those affected. He is not allowed to leave his South Paris suburb

08:57despite having no criminal record.

09:19Amine was flagged to police after posting a TikTok video in October

09:23of him wearing a Deportivo Palestino t-shirt

09:27and making obscene gestures towards the Eiffel Tower,

09:31which was lit in Israeli colors following the October 7th attacks.

09:35However, he was also falsely linked with an account on the video sharing app Rave,

09:39which posted decapitation images and comments expressing a desire

09:43to join a terror group against the regime.

09:47French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin

09:51says the restrictions are in place to prevent very dangerous people

09:55from attacking the Games.

09:59He claims minorities aren't being singled out

10:03and that people suspected of left or right wing extremism

10:07are under surveillance too.

10:11Military parades have taken place in Croatia

10:15to mark the 29th anniversary of the last major battle

10:19of the Croatian War of Independence.

10:23The 1995 Operation Storm offensive was a decisive moment

10:27for Croatia and resulted in the recovery of territory

10:31from rebel Serb forces.

10:35The event is commemorated annually and this year

10:39saw speeches from Croatia's leaders, military displays

10:43and a flyover of fighter jets recently acquired from France.

10:49Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković

10:53hailed the anniversary as a celebration of freedom.

10:57We have gathered today to once again celebrate freedom,

11:01to remember the greatness of Neoluja,

11:05the fearlessness of Croatian defenders

11:10who enabled us to live in an independent and democratic Croatia.

11:14This is what generations of Croats have dreamed of

11:18and today is our reality and responsibility.

11:22But for Serbia, the anniversary is a sombre reminder

11:26of what it considers a war crime that led to the mass exodus

11:30of most Serbs from Croatia.

11:34Each year, thousands of Serbs, including families of victims,

11:38celebrate the anniversary with a remembrance ceremony.
