00:00Talks to form a new government in Austria collapsed after the smallest of the prospective

00:04partners pulled out of negotiations.

00:25Talks to form a new government in Austria collapsed after the smallest of the prospective

00:29partners pulled out of negotiations.

00:34Neos, alongside Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer's Austrian People's Party and the

00:39centre-left Social Democrats, had been trying to forge a three-party ruling coalition after

00:44Austria's far-right Freedom Party won national elections in September.

00:48Neos' party leader said it had not been possible to agree on fundamental reforms.

00:59Unfortunately, not only did we not make any progress, not only did we not make any progress

01:06in terms of a common vision, a common vision, but we actually made some setbacks.

01:17Talks dragged on after all other parties refused to work with Freedom Party leader Herbert

01:23Kickl, forcing them to find a coalition agreement with smaller majorities.

01:30Talks dragged on after all other parties refused to work with Freedom Party leader Herbert

01:36Israeli strikes have killed 56 people in 24 hours in Gaza, with 30 on the night of Thursday

01:43to Friday, including in an Israeli-declared humanitarian zone where displaced people sheltered.

01:50Two Hamas police officers, eight members of local committees who helped secure aid convoys

01:56and several children were killed.

02:01At the same time, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the green light to

02:05send a delegation to Qatar to pursue ceasefire negotiations.

02:12The Israeli media announced that this delegation would leave on Friday.

02:19The Israeli military claims to have intercepted a missile early on Friday from Yemen, where

02:24Houthi rebels launched several attacks on Israel in recent weeks.

02:36Austria's Chancellor Karl Nehammer welcomed Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson to

02:41Vienna on Thursday, on the occasion of the two countries' 30th year of EU membership.

02:47The two leaders held talks focusing largely on migration.

02:52We are allies in the fight against illegal migration.

02:56Sweden is an important, reliable partner, a strong voice.

03:01Under Kristersson's conservative government, Sweden has tightened its asylum rules.

03:06I think both the Chancellor and I, we share the desire to think outside the box now, not

03:11to settle and say things are complicated.

03:13We knew that already.

03:15Complicated things are meant to be solved, not to be discussed only.

03:21Six years after joining the bloc, both leaders aim to push for stronger EU border security

03:26and better mechanisms for returning migrants whose asylum applications are denied.

03:31They plan to advocate for these changes at the EU Commission.

03:40Thousands of people have attended a vigil to remember the 12 victims of a mass shooting

03:45in Montenegro.

03:46It happened on Wednesday in the central town of Setinje, when a man started a shooting

03:51rampage after a bar brawl, killing 12 and wounding at least four others.

03:56Two children were among the victims and the man, named as 45-year-old Arko Matinovic,

04:02died after shooting himself in the head.

04:17The government has declared three days of national mourning and all planned New Year's

04:25festivities have been cancelled throughout the country.

04:28Visiting Setinje on Thursday, Prime Minister Milojko Spajic announced a tightening of

04:33rules on weapons possession.

04:46This is a tragedy.

04:47We need to ask ourselves who can have weapons in Montenegro.

04:50We understand sports and hunting, but these criteria need to be maximally tightened.

04:55Tighten the penalties for those who illegally possess weapons, who illegally carry weapons.

05:00Montenegro, which has a population of around 620,000, has a population of more than 1,000

05:05people.

05:06This is a tragedy.

05:07We need to ask ourselves who can have weapons in Montenegro.

05:10We need to ask ourselves who can have weapons in Montenegro.

05:13Montenegro, which has a population of around 620,000, is known for its gun culture and

05:18many people traditionally have weapons.

05:21In August 2022 in Setinje, an attacker killed 10 people, including two children, before

05:26he was shot and killed by a passerby.

05:29Police said that Wednesday's shooter received a suspended sentence in 2005 for violent behavior

05:35and had appealed a conviction for illegal weapons possession.

05:44The UN Children's Fund has urged governments to prioritize the safety of migrant children

05:49whose parents are killed at sea.

05:52The UNICEF statement comes after two boats sank in waters off eastern Tunisia on Thursday

05:57killing at least 27 people.

06:00It's a popular departure point for irregular migrants hoping to make it to Europe.

06:14According to the International Organization of Migration's Missing Migrant Tracker, 2,275

06:36people were unaccounted for in the Mediterranean in 2024.

06:40That brings the total number of people missing since 2014 to more than 31,000.

06:46The majority of those are believed to have died on the perilous central Mediterranean

06:50route, which is used by people smugglers from Libya and Tunisia to ferry people towards

06:55Italy.

06:56According to Eurostat, in 2023 more than 2,200 people considered to be unaccompanied minors

07:03filed asylum applications with Italian authorities.

07:07For Greece in the same year, that figure was over 2,600 while Spain handled just 30

07:13such applications.

07:15Applications for asylum from unaccompanied minors across the whole of the European Union

07:20have generally fallen steadily from a peak of more than 88,000 in 2015.

07:27The French and German foreign ministers travelled to Damascus on the first official visit to

07:32Syria by top diplomats from European countries after the fall of former President Bashar

07:38al-Assad.

07:40French Minister Jean-Noël Barrault visited the French embassy, which opened its doors

07:45a few weeks ago after 13 years of closure.

07:48It's a very difficult situation.

07:51It's a very difficult situation.

08:22Barrault also met with Christian religious leaders.

08:33His German counterpart Annalena Baerbock said there can be a political new beginning between

08:38Europe and Syria only if all people, regardless of ethnic or religious group, have a place

08:43in the political process.

08:46Baerbock and Barrault are meeting the leader of HTS, the group that toppled Assad, Ahmad

08:51al-Shara, and representatives of Syrian civil society on Friday.

09:01South Korean authorities suspended an attempt to arrest the impeached President Yoon Seok-yol

09:07after an almost six-hour standoff with security forces.

09:11The country's anti-corruption agency said it withdrew its investigators after the Presidential

09:16Security Service blocked them from entering Yoon's residence.

09:20The events were the latest confrontation in a political crisis that has paralyzed South

09:25Korean politics.

09:27It began in early December when Yoon, apparently frustrated that his policies were blocked

09:32by an opposition-dominated parliament, declared martial law and dispatched troops to surround

09:37the National Assembly.

09:39Parliament overturned that declaration within hours in a unanimous vote and impeached Yoon,

09:44while South Korean authorities opened a criminal investigation into the events.

09:48A Seoul court issued a warrant for Yoon's detention after he evaded multiple requests

09:53to appear for questioning and blocked searches of his office, hindering an investigation

09:57into whether his ill-conceived power grab amounted to rebellion.

10:02Yoon has remained defiant, vowing to fight to remain in office.

10:10In June 2024, we uncovered around 200 dinosaur tracks.

10:28We found four long trackways up to 150 meters long from sauropod dinosaurs.

10:33So these are long-necked, four-legged herbivorous dinosaurs.

10:36So probably something like a Cetosaurus.

10:38So about 18 meters in length, about 10 tons.

10:41And then we found one theropod track.

10:43And the theropod track is probably from Megalosaurus.

10:46So this is probably a very fearsome mid-Jurassic predator.

10:50It's a carnivorous dinosaur and it leaves these very distinctive three-toed tracks behind

10:55in the sediment.

10:56Very classic, what you would expect a footprint to look like with a little claw mark in some

11:00cases.

11:02Tracks give us that moment in time in the life of that animal, right?

11:06It tells us it was there, unlike a body fossil that could be moved around.

11:10So it gives us that glimpse into what they were doing, but we can also figure out how

11:13big they were, how fast they were moving, how they were interacting with each other,

11:18with the environment.

11:19So there's lots of additional information that one can get from looking at tracks that

11:23you can't get from looking at body fossils.

11:25So it's a really interesting complement.

11:31Thanks for watching.
