00:00Speaking to Euronews, Ukraine's new justice minister discussed challenges aligning Kyiv's

00:05legal framework with that of the EU, but said no one in Ukraine was tired.

00:12Protesters in Tel Aviv carry makeshift coffins to demand the Israeli government secure the

00:16release of the hostages still being held in Gaza.

00:23In addition to being responsible for Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO, Oleh Stefanichna

00:29has become the country's justice minister.

00:31Speaking to Euronews, she explained how the roles combine in the pursuit of Ukraine's

00:36EU membership aspirations, saying the process is not only about communication with the EU,

00:41but largely a domestic reform-related process.

00:44It, of course, will be expanded with the new huge challenge related to legal approximation

00:50and alignment of Ukrainian legal framework with the UN, and this is a work which will

00:56be massively coordinated by Ministry of Justice.

00:58Basically, accession process and bringing ourselves back to European family is about

01:03the values and the rule of law and the fundamental areas.

01:07And here Ministry of Justice will be the major head of the oversight of all this reform agenda.

01:14Nobody is tired in Ukraine.

01:16We can adjust along the way.

01:19We will remain in every function we need to keep the country running, to make the country

01:26functional and operational.

01:28If it would require another reshuffle, it will be made.

01:32Stefanichna is well known in Brussels as she has been a key negotiator in Ukraine's efforts

01:37to join the EU.

01:40She said in a speech to lawmakers before her appointment that hundreds and thousands of

01:45legal changes were needed for Ukraine to become a member of the European Union.

01:54Rome could soon launch a ticketing system to enter one of its most iconic sites, the

01:59Trevi Fountain.

02:02Authorities in the Italian capital say they want to start the scheme at the fountain as

02:06part of ongoing plans to both reduce crowds and promote sustainable tourism.

02:12Rome's city council say if enforced, it would act as a ticket reservation system, free for

02:17Romans and costing a symbolic one euro for tourists.

02:22If you're going to put a price on it, I think it's not what it's worth, I don't know.

02:28It's beautiful like this, all these people coming from all around the world, you're going

02:32to put a price on it?

02:33I don't think it's a good idea.

02:36You know, you shouldn't have to pay a tax to watch this.

02:38This is for everybody.

02:39And people that don't have euros shouldn't have to pay anything.

02:46The city's authorities say the goal of the charge is not to raise money, but to lessen

02:51and control crowds.

03:21The plan is currently only an initial idea, with nothing concrete decided yet.

03:44Protesters have marched in Tel Aviv, carrying coffins draped with the Israeli flag, symbolising

03:48the hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza.

03:52Around 70 Israelis are thought to be held captive following the Hamas incursion into

03:56Israel last October.

03:59Protesters are angry at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not doing enough to secure their

04:03return.

04:04On Wednesday, Netanyahu said Israel must keep open-ended control of Gaza's border with Egypt,

04:10which protesters fear could derail ceasefire talks.

04:18There's been a proliferation of sinkholes in the southern Konya region, known as the

04:22breadbasket of Turkey.

04:24They pose a threat to agricultural activities and are now getting closer to population areas.

04:30The latest count shows their number has now exceeded 2,600.

04:35Most happen as a result of drought and uncontrolled use of underground water.

04:40The director of the Sinkhole Application Research Centre said that the phenomenon will always

04:44exist but human activities are causing their number to rise.
