00:00Ukraine will be a member of NATO in the future, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on

00:07Thursday.

00:11The Hungarian southern border no longer deals with migrants after removals by Serbian authorities.

00:23Israeli strikes across Lebanon killed at least 27 people on Wednesday, according to Lebanon's

00:28health ministry.

00:30In the southern city of Nabatia, at least 16 people were killed, including the city's

00:35mayor.

00:36Lebanon's caretaker prime minister accused Israel of intentionally targeting a municipal

00:41council meeting there to discuss relief efforts.

00:45Israel has ramped up its attacks on the country amid growing international criticism that

00:49it is targeting UN peacekeepers in the region.

00:53UNIFIL again said that Israel deliberately targeted its positions in an attack on its

00:58watchtower.

00:59Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in northern Gaza remains dire as Israel's siege of the

01:05Jabalia refugee camp enters its 13th day.

01:09The top UN humanitarian official is accusing Israel of blocking the delivery of desperately

01:14needed aid to Gaza, saying there's barely any food left in the north.

01:18During the first two weeks of October, just one out of 54 coordinated movements to the

01:27north via the al-Rashid checkpoint was facilitated by Israeli authorities, while another four

01:37were impeded but eventually accomplished.

01:42Following warnings from the U.S., Israel let in a limited amount of aid on Wednesday, but

01:46the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations called the progress insufficient.

01:56Israel's military is looking into whether Hamas' top leader, Yahya Sinwar, was killed

02:00in a military operation in Gaza.

02:03Sinwar, who Israel accused of being the architect of the October 7 surprise attack which killed

02:101,200 Israelis, was announced as Hamas' new head following the assassination of Ismail

02:15Haniyeh.

02:18The IDF said in a statement that at least three militants were killed in a building

02:22and that they were checking the possibility that Sinwar was amongst that number.

02:32European leaders meeting in Brussels are discussing the proposal of the European Commission to

02:36open deportation centres outside the EU borders.

02:41The Commission has lately embraced the ideas of the hard right on migration.

02:46The change in the Commission's mentality has pleased several countries.

02:49One of them is Greece, which has been accused by several NGOs of carrying out illegal returns.

02:55The Pact on Migration and Asylum does not address the question of returns.

02:59We cannot accept the fact that we are not effective to deal with those who are not entitled

03:07to protection status in the European Union.

03:09I'm eager to find out more about the innovative solutions proposed by the Commission and I'm

03:15happy about the fact that we recognize that we need to think out of the box.

03:20One of the examples would be the return centre that Italy has recently opened in Albania.

03:25Italy's Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni has been one of the promoters of a meeting with

03:29several like-minded leaders, which was also attended by the President of the European

03:33Commission.

03:34But although few in number, there are also detractors, like Spain's Pedro Sanchez and

03:39Belgium's Alexander de Kroo.

03:57Leaders are not expected to reach any agreement on migration at this summit.

04:05Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that North Korea supporting Russia would be

04:11a first step towards a world war.

04:14Zelensky claimed the country's intelligence services found evidence suggesting 10,000

04:19North Korean troops were training to join Russian forces.

04:23It comes after Zelensky presented his victory plan to EU leaders at a high-level summit

04:28in Brussels.

04:30We know about 10,000 soldiers of North Korea that they are preparing to send fight against

04:39us.

04:40And this is the first step to a world war.

04:43Zelensky said he received majority support from EU countries for his victory plan, which

04:49includes permission to fire long-range weapons into Russia.

04:53He emphasized the importance of receiving support from Western allies, but criticized

04:59that it often arrived slowly.

05:02Zelensky said the victory plan would result in an end to the war no later than next year.

05:07He also said he would like to present the document to Russia at a potential future peace

05:12summit.

05:18For a year, Serbian authorities have been systematically evacuating the areas around

05:22the northern border with Hungary, collecting migrants and transporting them to camps in

05:27the Serbian cities of Kikinda and Presevo.

05:31Hundreds of illegal immigrants used to live in the barns of the Karas farm along the border

05:36fence near the town of Horgos, leaving at night to get through the barbed wire fences.

05:41But today, discarded energy drink cans and animal remains are the only signs that this

05:46place was once full of life.

05:48The roof has collapsed, the nylon sheeting protecting the windows has been ripped off,

05:52and you almost can't see the buildings through the weeds.

05:55Some of the locals, like Marta, are happy about the authorities' action.

05:59She says the area has become much safer.

06:25The change in Horgos is visible.

06:38The last time Euronews was there, almost everything was closed and people were hardly seen in

06:42public spaces, but now the shops are open and children are playing in the streets.

06:48There is still a long way to go before the final sentence, but this week's hearing

06:55will be crucial in the open arms trial involving league leader Matteo Salvini.

07:00After Italian prosecutors requested a six-year prison sentence, his lawyer Giulia Bongiorno

07:06will present her closing argument, explaining why the former interior minister is innocent.

07:12A few days ago, patrols for Europe's far-right leaders rallied in support of Salvini in Puntida.

07:18His supporters have collected signatures in his defence, and a group of League Party members

07:23plans to take to the streets in Palermo on Friday to show their support.

07:28We spoke to one of them.

07:42The former interior minister has been charged with kidnapping for refusing to allow 147

08:09migrants rescued by the Spanish NGO Open Arms in 2019 to disembark in Lampedusa.

08:16Prosecutors argue that under the SAR Convention, anyone found in distress at sea must be assisted

08:22and provided with a place of safety.

08:25They also claim that the minister made the decision for his political advantage.

08:39Matteo Salvini says he doesn't regret his actions and that he did it to defend the country.

09:09If convicted, he could be barred from holding government office, but it could take time

09:13for that to come into effect as the League leader can decide to appeal the judge's decision.

09:18Giorgio Arrandi for Euronews in Rome.

09:27Vice President Kamala Harris said she would not be a continuation from Biden's presidency

09:33in an interview with Brett Beier on Fox News.

09:37Even though Democrats currently hold the White House, Harris said she wants to turn the page

09:42by representing a new generation of leadership, one that isn't burdened by a divisive rhetoric

09:47coming from Donald Trump.

09:50Well, first of all, turning the page from the last decade in which we have been burdened

09:56with the kind of rhetoric coming from Donald Trump that has been designed and implemented

10:02to divide our country and have Americans literally point fingers at each other.

10:08Her nearly 30-minute sit-down with Beier repeatedly grew heated with the two talking over each other.

10:14May I finish responding, please? But you have to let me finish.

10:19You had the White House and the House and the Senate, and they didn't bring up that bill.

10:23I'm in the middle of responding to the point you're raising, and I'd like to finish.

10:27It was Harris' first foray onto the network, which is popular with conservative viewers.

10:38Former One Direction member Liam Payne was found dead after he fell from a balcony in Argentina.

10:44Fans were quick to gather outside of the hotel in Buenos Aires to hold an impromptu vigil.

10:58I grew up with this. I grew up with his music. I grew up with the band.

11:03Police rushed to the hotel on Wednesday evening after receiving a phone call from the hotel manager.

11:09He warned them of a guest who may have been under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

11:15Payne had previously been vocal about his battle with alcoholism and posted a video in July last year

11:21saying he had been sober for six months after receiving treatment.

11:26The 31-year-old was one of the five members of One Direction,

11:29who formed during the British singing competition The X Factor in 2010 after they had all auditioned individually.

11:38The band rose to fame and became one of the most iconic boy bands of their era before disbanding in 2016.
