00:00The Israeli military has begun its ground operation in southern Lebanon, carrying out

00:06raids close to its northern border.

00:11Italian police arrested 19 people on Monday accused of forming mafia groups connected

00:16with the football business.

00:20Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the preparation of a new security agreement

00:26amid intensified fighting in the country's east.

00:35The Israeli military began its ground operation in southern Lebanon in the early hours on

00:40Tuesday.

00:41It said in a statement that it was carrying out targeted ground raids in villages close

00:46to the Israeli border.

00:48In the statement, Israel's army said it was striking Hezbollah targets and that air force

00:53and artillery units were carrying out attacks to support the ground forces.

00:58IDF forces had already launched small ground raids against Hezbollah on Monday night, sealing

01:03off communities along its northern border, which sent signals that a larger ground operation

01:08was imminent.

01:10Smoke was also seen rising from buildings in the suburbs of Beirut on Monday night following

01:15an explosion.

01:16Earlier, the Israeli military issued new instructions warning residents of three buildings in south

01:23Beirut to evacuate immediately.

01:26The IDF gave no details on how long the ground operation will last, but said the army had

01:31been training and preparing for months.

01:41The European Union's foreign ministers have called for an immediate ceasefire between

01:45Hezbollah and Israel amidst spiraling tensions.

01:53The EU's top diplomat Joseph Borrell said that any military intervention from Israel's

01:57side would aggravate the situation.

02:01The EU's response came hours after Israeli defence minister said that the next phase

02:05of war against Hezbollah would begin soon.

02:10Any further military intervention would dramatically aggravate the situation and has to be avoided.

02:27Words used by European Union member countries have been stronger, with French foreign minister

02:32urging both sides to stop firing.

02:40So I urge Israel to abstain from any ground incursion and to cease fire.

02:46I call on Hezbollah to do the same and to abstain from any action likely to lead to

02:51regional destabilisation.

02:55The European Union has increased the emergency funding to Lebanon by an extra 10 million

03:00euros following recent escalations.

03:03However, the divergent positions of its member states have so far prevented extra measures

03:08such as sanctions from taking place.

03:17Italian police arrested 19 people on Monday accused of forming mafia groups connected

03:22with the football business.

03:24Most detainees are top ultras or hardcore fans of Milanese football clubs Inter Milan

03:30and AC Milan.

03:32The criminal ring was linked to the Italian mafia organisation Drangheta.

03:37Giovanni Melillo, Italy's national anti-mafia prosecutor, says there have been risks for

03:42some time now in Italy's football stadiums.

04:08Prosecutors allege that the suspects have attempted to take control of all the lucrative

04:23business activities around Milan's Giuseppe Meazza stadium, including parking, food, tickets

04:29and souvenir sales.

04:31Some of the suspects might also have been involved in drug trafficking.

04:36Both leaders of the AC Milan and Inter Milan ultras fan groups were among those arrested.

04:44As Russian attacks in eastern Ukraine intensify, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said

04:49that Ukraine and its allies are set to sign a new security agreement in an upcoming meeting

04:54in Ramstein, Germany.

04:57This comes after Zelensky presented Ukraine's victory plan to the US presidential candidates

05:02in a recent visit in pursuit of continuing financial and military support.

05:26In recent days, the Russian army has been pushing Ukrainian troops backward in eastern areas,

05:31causing widespread destruction.

05:33Multiple people were wounded as Russia launched several attacks on the Kherson and Sumy regions.

05:38In Kherson, one person died in the attacks.

05:42Drone footage shows further destruction in the eastern Ukrainian town of Vuledar, where

05:47Ukrainian forces are under severe pressure.

05:50Zelensky said it is necessary to determine how to increase pressure on the Russian Federation

05:55at the meeting in Ramstein on 12 October.

06:02The Freedom Party has secured the first parliamentary election victory for a far-right party in

06:09post-World War II Austria.

06:11A projection for ORF Public Television showed the party finishing first with 29.2 percent.

06:18That win pushed Chancellor Carl Nahammer's Austrian People's Party into second place

06:23with 26.5 percent.

06:25Freedom Party leader Herbert Kickel said it was a piece of history that we have written

06:30together today.

06:46But to become Austria's new leader, Kickel needs a coalition partner to command a parliamentary

06:51majority and that might be tricky.

06:53He said he's open to negotiate with other parties, but so far his rivals, including

06:58Nahammer and Social Democrats leader Andreas Babler, have said they won't work with the

07:03far-right.

07:06Speaking in Vienna, outgoing Chancellor Carl Nahammer said it was bitter that his party

07:10lost, but his position towards Kickel hadn't changed.

07:14Speaking in Vienna, outgoing Chancellor Carl Nahammer said it was bitter that his party

07:16lost, but his position towards Kickel hadn't changed.

07:27The Freedom Party's win sparked protests outside the parliament building in Vienna with demonstrators

07:33holding placards with slogans including,

07:35Kickel is a Nazi.

07:37The far-right has benefited from frustration over high inflation, the war in Ukraine and

07:43the Covid-19 pandemic and has also built on worries about migration.

07:47The final official results will be published later in the week after a small number of

07:52remaining postal ballots have been counted.

07:59Frustration with the mainstream political establishment led to the rise of the far-right

08:04in Austria and their victory in recent elections.

08:07Analysts say the Freedom Party's clear message, such as a hardline stance against migration,

08:12helps differentiate them from other political parties.

08:43In 1983, the Social Democrats and the Conservatives accounted for almost 91% of the votes.

08:51This has now dropped to less than 50%.

08:57The Freedom Party historically played a political role in Austria at a mostly local level, but

09:03now the far-right is the dominant party for the first time since World War II.

09:12Austria's new leader, the Freedom Party's Herbert Kickel, will need a coalition partner

09:16to command parliament majority.

09:20With political parties balancing clashing ideologies with the need for a functioning

09:25government, Austria's political future is up in the air.

09:31Euronews in Vienna, Austria, Jan Husar.

09:36A large wildfire burning through mainland Greece has killed two people, authorities

09:45said on Monday.

09:48The two men were believed to be residents of Kilokastro off the Peloponnese coast.

09:55350 firefighters, assisted by 18 water-dropping aircraft, were deployed to battle the blaze.

10:05The fire was fanned by strong winds blowing through tinder-dry forests.

10:12Greece's warm spring and hot summer has been attributed to climate change.

10:19The fire's large front has been put out, but scattered flare-ups continue to burn,

10:24forcing the evacuation of three villages.

10:28Civil protection officials warn that several parts of the Mediterranean country, including

10:34Rhodes, would face a high risk of wildfires on Tuesday.

10:44Pope Francis ended a controversial trip to Belgium by condemning abortions and describing

10:51doctors who deliver them as hitmen.

10:55He made the remarks to reporters during an in-flight press conference on his way back

11:00to the Vatican.

11:25The comments came as Belgium is in the throes of updating its abortion legislation.

11:31Lawmakers are attempting to extend the legal limit for the health care procedure from 12

11:36to 18 weeks.

11:38The European Parliament has also called for initiatives aiming to ensure free and safe

11:43abortions for all.
