00:00A Ukrainian attack on the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don damaged 76 apartments, the city's

00:07mayor said.

00:11German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says the EU can act in an hour if US President Donald

00:16Trump slaps tariffs on the bloc.

00:24A Ukrainian attack on the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don damaged 76 apartments overnight,

00:30the city's mayor said.

00:32And Russia's defence ministry said 18 Ukrainian drones were shot down over the region.

00:38Meanwhile, Ukraine's air force claimed that dozens of Russian drones were also shot down

00:43over several cities by their air defences.

00:48In Kiev, an air raid warning was in effect for more than 11 hours.

00:54Russia has sharply escalated the number of drone attacks launched at Ukraine this year.

01:00And Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that the armed forces have launched

01:04a new offensive in Russia's Kursk region.

01:09On Sunday, Russia's defence ministry said it had repelled three new Ukrainian counterattacks

01:14there.

01:22German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said the European Union can act in an hour if US President

01:27Donald Trump slaps tariffs on the bloc.

01:30Speaking in the first TV debate before snap elections later in the month, Scholz said

01:35his strategy for dealing with Trump is clear words and friendly conversations.

01:40He pointed to his public statements about respecting borders after Trump said he wouldn't

01:44rule out the use of military force to take control of the Panama Canal and Greenland.

01:50He also stressed the importance of European unity and said he and other countries are

01:54working on proposals to increase NATO's presence in Greenland.

01:58Trump pitched the idea of taking control of Greenland on the campaign trail last year,

02:03saying it was important for America's national security.

02:06He said he could impose financial penalties or even use the military to force Denmark

02:11to cede the island to the United States.

02:14Scholz also described Trump's suggestion that the US could take ownership of Gaza, relocate

02:20its population and redevelop it as a scandal.

02:23Scholz's main challenger, the Christian Democratic Union's Friedrich Merz, also voiced unease

02:28about the proposal, but suggested there's a lot of rhetoric coming from Washington.

02:33Merz said the new US president is predictably unpredictable.

02:36Merz, who was the frontrunner in the 23rd February snap elections, also discussed top

02:42domestic issues with Scholz, such as Germany's struggling economy and migration.

02:50Crowds in the West Bank and Gaza have welcomed home 183 Palestinians released from prisons

02:58by Israel.

02:59They were freed as part of the fifth round of releases to take place under the Gaza ceasefire

03:04deal between Israel and Hamas.

03:07Many Palestinians have a friend or family member who has been jailed by Israel for anything

03:12from terrorist attacks to rock throwing.

03:15Some can be held for years without trial in what's known as administrative detention,

03:19which Israel says is needed to prevent attacks.

03:23Israel views the prisoners as terrorists, while many Palestinians see them as freedom

03:27fighters resisting a decades-long military occupation.

03:31Seven Palestinians have reportedly been transferred to hospitals for immediate treatment, but

03:36no details about their health conditions have been released.

03:40Eighteen of the former prisoners released on Saturday had been sentenced to life and

03:4454 were serving long sentences for their involvement in deadly attacks against Israelis.

03:54Israel says its forces have now withdrawn from a key Gaza corridor, which means thousands

04:00of Gazans can now return home.

04:02The Netzerim corridor, which splits the Gaza Strip down the middle, is located just south

04:08of Gaza City.

04:09The withdrawal from the six-kilometer-long strip of land that was used as a military

04:14zone was part of the ceasefire deal with Hamas.

04:17When the ceasefire began, Israel had allowed Palestinians to cross Netzerim on their journey

04:22home to the north.

04:24At that time, hundreds of thousands streamed across Gaza on foot or in vehicles.

04:28At the moment, both sides appear to have made little progress negotiating the second phase

04:33of the ceasefire.

04:35It's meant to extend the truce and see more Israeli hostages released by Hamas.

04:39On Saturday, three Israeli hostages held by Hamas were exchanged for 183 Palestinian prisoners

04:46held in Israeli prisons.

04:48It was the fifth exchange so far.
