00:00Iran's supreme leader has praised his country's missile strike on Israel, calling it fully

00:07legal and legitimate.

00:11The EU approves stiff tariffs on Chinese EVs, despite a lack of majority.

00:21Two Swedish teenagers are arrested in connection with explosions near the Israeli embassy in

00:26Copenhagen on Wednesday.

00:34Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has praised his country's missile strike on

00:39Israel and said it would be done again if necessary.

00:43What our armed forces have done is the least punishment for the Zionist regime in the face

00:56of the outrageous crimes of that regime, the bloodthirsty regime, the wolfish regime, the

01:06dog of America in the region.

01:11It's the first time in five years Khamenei has led Friday's prayer in Tehran and he took

01:17the opportunity to urge other Islamic nations to take action against the enemy.

01:24It follows a series of Israeli airstrikes launched on the southern suburbs of Beirut

01:29overnight alongside another that cut off the main border crossing between Lebanon and Syria.

01:37Tens of thousands of people had been using the crossing over the past two weeks to flee

01:41the war in Lebanon.

01:44Protests have also been held in the West Bank after an Israeli airstrike hit a refugee camp,

01:50killing 18 Palestinians.

01:53The Israeli military says the strike killed Hamas' leader in the camp.

02:04EU countries have continued to evacuate their citizens from Lebanon as hostilities between

02:09Israel and Hezbollah escalate.

02:12Germany flew another 130 of its citizens out of the country on board a military plane that

02:17landed in Frankfurt.

02:19The German foreign ministry said in a post on X that the evacuation plane also brought

02:24five tons of aid, particularly medical equipment, into the Lebanese capital.

02:30Greece also sent a military transport plane to Beirut on Thursday to bring home both Greek

02:35and Cypriot nationals who wanted to leave Lebanon.

02:38The C-130, carrying 38 Cypriots and 22 Greeks, landed in Cyprus before heading to a military

02:45airfield near Athens later in the day.

02:48Greece's foreign ministry says it's established hotlines for its citizens living in Lebanon

02:53to call if they require assistance in leaving the country.

02:58Spain evacuated the first group of its citizens on Thursday, bringing 250 people home on board

03:04two military planes which landed at an airbase near the capital, Madrid.

03:09The Spanish foreign ministry said the situation in Lebanon is so serious that part of the

03:13embassy staff will also be airlifted out of Beirut on a second plane, leaving only a skeleton

03:19staff behind to carry out essential diplomatic work.

03:24And France has also started evacuating its citizens, with the first group arriving on one of four

03:29flights that landed at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris.

03:33The French embassy in Lebanon has reportedly negotiated two additional flights to Paris

03:38with the Lebanese national airline MEA.

03:41Meanwhile, flag carrier Air France says it suspended all passenger flights to Lebanon

03:46until at least the 8th of October.

03:50Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has appealed to Western allies for better cooperation

03:58in combating Russian airstrikes during his nightly video address.

04:03Zelensky said it was important to strengthen front-line defences before the onset of the

04:08bitter Ukrainian winter.

04:19Those comments come on the same day that new NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte visited Kiev

04:25and pledged the alliance's continued support.

04:29The NATO-Ukrainian alliance has been working together since the beginning of the war.

04:35The NATO-Ukrainian alliance has been working together since the beginning of the war.

04:40The NATO-Ukrainian alliance has been working together since the beginning of the war.

04:46The alliance's continued support.

04:48The NATO chief vowed when he took office on Tuesday to help shore up Western support for Ukraine,

04:54which has been fighting Russia's full-scale invasion since February 2022.

04:59Rutte also said recent steps had been taken to build a bridge to NATO membership for Ukraine,

05:05including 40 billion euros of funding assistance and bilateral security agreements.

05:12Meanwhile, evacuations continue for people living in the eastern city of Dnipro.

05:17Officials there say more than 2,500 people have passed through the transit point

05:22for internally displaced people since the end of August.

05:26Local media say Russian forces attacked three districts in the region several times on Thursday

05:32using artillery and drones, injuring three people.

05:36European member states have failed to agree on whether the EU should apply steeper tariffs

05:46on China-made electric vehicles.

05:49Now the decision goes back to the EU Commission, who can implement its proposal.

05:54This means that the tariffs can be imposed.

05:57The voting council revealed clear divisions.

05:59Ten countries voted in favour of the tariffs, with France and Italy amongst them,

06:03Germany and four more countries voted against.

06:06However, the abstention of 12 countries meant that there was no result.

06:13Germany's car manufacturers operate largely at the higher end,

06:17it's mostly premium cars, and they invested heavily within China.

06:21Given their premium branding, they're not too worried about competition

06:25on the lower end of the markets from Chinese imports,

06:28whereas French and Italian producers have not invested as heavily in China

06:32and they compete much more directly on the lower end of the market

06:35and they are therefore much more worried about the effect that Chinese competition

06:39would have for the European market.

06:44The high number of abstentions reflects long-standing concerns

06:47about how Europe should stand up to China.

06:50Even though there is agreement about the fact that Beijing's unfair trade practices

06:54married a forceful united response,

06:57fears of commercial retaliation appear to have dampened the resolve of many capitals,

07:02especially with a make-or-break date approaching.

07:08I think what is clear is that the Chinese government would retaliate,

07:11that is what they normally do, and they already signalled where they will do this,

07:15which would be agricultural exports.

07:17Now, compared to the EV market, the agricultural market,

07:20even though it's politically very important, is economically not that big.

07:24So the question is basically, will that be enough for an escalation on the European side

07:28and basically to which extent the Chinese side will escalate in more and more bigger sectors.

07:33Friday's vote marked a victory for the President of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.

07:38In its statement, the EU Commission still left the door open for a different outcome,

07:43stating that the EU and China would continue to work hard to explore an alternative solution.

07:54Certain FIFA rules on international player transfers are in breach of EU law,

07:59the EU's top court said on Friday.

08:02The Court of Justice of the European Union handed down its ruling

08:06following a decade-long legal challenge spearheaded by former footballer Lassana Diara.

08:12According to the ECJ, certain FIFA rules impede the free movement of footballers

08:17wanting to progress their careers by working for new clubs.

08:21In 2013, Diara signed a four-year contract with Russian team Lokomotiv Moscow,

08:26but the deal was terminated after Diara was allegedly unhappy with pay cuts.

08:31Lokomotiv Moscow applied to FIFA for compensation,

08:35with its arbitration court finding Diara's sacking was based on just cause.

08:39The player was ordered to pay the club millions of euros.

08:42Diara claimed his search for a new club was hampered by FIFA rules,

08:46stating any new side would be jointly responsible for paying Lokomotiv compensation.

08:51FIFPRO, the union representing footballers, celebrated the recent ECJ ruling,

08:56saying it would change the EU's sporting labour market.

09:06Two Swedish teenagers have been arrested at Copenhagen train station

09:10in connection with two explosions near the Israeli embassy in the Danish capital on Wednesday.

09:16No one was injured in the pre-dawn blasts,

09:19which happened in a neighbourhood that's home to several foreign diplomatic missions.

09:23The pair were ordered to be held in pre-trial detention for 27 days.

09:28They faced preliminary charges of possessing illegal weapons and carrying five hand grenades.

09:34Two of the grenades blew up when the suspects threw them at a house near the embassy,

09:38but the Israeli mission wasn't damaged.

09:41Danish broadcaster DR said the teenagers, aged 16 and 19,

09:45are suspected of acting in association and together with prior agreement with one or more perpetrators.

09:51Denmark's prime minister said it was becoming increasingly dangerous to be a Jew in Europe.

10:08We are very fortunate that the authorities are doing everything they can

10:13to protect the Jewish minority in Denmark.

10:18This comes after shots were fired late on Tuesday at the Israeli embassy in Stockholm.

10:23No one was injured and no arrests have been made.

10:27The Danish domestic security service PET said that Swedish authorities

10:31had assessed that that attack had links to Iran.

10:38Thousands have staged a march through central Vienna

10:42to urge the country's political parties not to join a coalition with the far right.

10:47It comes as the FPO, for the first time in its history,

10:51won national elections on Sunday with 29% of the vote.

10:55Protesters held signs that read,

10:58It's Thursday again, alluding to demonstrations that broke out on Thursdays in the 2000s

11:03against the centre-right OVP entering into a coalition with the FPO.

11:08According to the organisers, over 25,000 people took part in the protest on Thursday evening.

11:15The largely Eurosceptic party campaigned in an anti-immigration platform,

11:21promising voters measures to boost Austria's economy.

11:25Without a full majority, the party would need to form a coalition government in order to govern,

11:31which would mark the first time that Austria has been ruled by the far right since World War II.
