00:00The Dutch Prime Minister says the governing coalition has averted collapse after the resignation

00:05of the finance secretary due to racist language.

00:15Dutch Prime Minister Dix Hof has said the governing coalition has averted collapse after

00:19the resignation of the finance secretary.

00:22Morocco-born Nora Akkabar said she was stepping down on Friday.

00:27She cited racist comments made by some ministers who were discussing clashes between Israeli

00:32football fans and pro-Palestinian supporters in Amsterdam.

00:36Akkabar blamed polarizing language for her inability to continue in her post.

00:41Hof said after her resignation that among the four coalition parties, we saw that we

00:46wanted to continue.

00:48Violence erupted in Amsterdam around last week's football match between Ajax and Maccabi

00:53Tel Aviv.

00:55A number of Maccabi fans chanted anti-Arab slogans and ripped a Palestinian flag off

01:00a building.

01:03Some men then carried out hit-and-run attacks on Maccabi fans and people they thought were

01:08Jews.

01:15Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has criticized a phone call between German Chancellor

01:20Olaf Scholz and Russia's leader Vladimir Putin as being like opening Pandora's box.

01:25Zelensky said the call risked making Putin feel less isolated internationally.

01:30He also criticized any further negotiations with the Kremlin that don't lead to any meaningful

01:35outcomes for Ukraine.

01:38Scholz spoke to Putin for the first time in two years on Friday.

01:43He condemned Russia's war in Ukraine and called on Putin to withdraw Russian troops from Ukrainian

01:48territory.

01:49He also urged Moscow to engage in negotiations with Kiev in order to achieve a lasting peace.

01:55A statement from the Kremlin said that Putin emphasized any potential agreement must reflect

02:00new territorial realities and address the root causes of the conflict.

02:05Putin also said the war in Ukraine was a direct result of NATO's aggressive policy.

02:16Russia's main energy supplier, OMV, said on Saturday it has stopped receiving gas via

02:21Ukraine from Russia's Gazprom following a contractual dispute.

02:25However, according to Austria's state market supervisory authority, Russian gas flows to

02:30Austria seemed stable.

02:49The most likely scenario is that Russian gas will enter Austria through buyers other than

02:53OMV.

02:55Ukraine said it wouldn't extend a transit agreement with Gazprom beyond next year in

02:59a bid to choke off income that Kiev says Moscow uses to fund the war.

03:04Despite a huge drop in supply, the EU still gets almost a fifth of its gas from Russia.

03:15The head of Georgia's Central Electoral Commission was doused with black paint on Saturday at

03:20a meeting to confirm that the ruling Georgian dream won the controversial parliamentary

03:25elections in October.

03:29Opposition leader David Kirtatze, who threw the paint, told the chairman that the official

03:34results of the vote did not reflect voters' true choice.

03:40Kirtatze is a commission member from the United National Movement Party.

03:47When the meeting resumed, the chairman was seen with a bandaged eye.

03:53Protesters also gathered outside the commission's building in Tbilisi, where officials announced

03:58the final results.

04:02Opposition supporters have rejected the results amid allegations that the vote was rigged,

04:06an accusation that Georgian Dream denies.

04:15The Italian tourist site of Pompeii has introduced new measures in a bid to clamp down on overtourism.

04:22The site received a record four million visitors this summer, prompting authorities to introduce

04:27a daily cap of 20,000.

04:30The park has also introduced personalized tickets which include the full name of each

04:35visitor.

04:37The world-famous remains of the Roman city were buried under ash and rock following the

04:41eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
