00:00Russia launched nearly 500 drones and missiles at Ukraine overnight in what was Moscow's largest bombardment since the start of the war.
00:10A referendum in Italy on easing access to citizenship and boosting worker protection fails due to low turnout.
00:17Ukraine's Air Force says Russia launched 479 drones at Ukraine overnight in what was the biggest bombardment of the war so far.
00:34Around 20 missiles were also fired targeting mainly central and western areas of the country.
00:41Ukraine reportedly neutralized 277 drones and 19 missiles in mid-flight, claiming that only 10 drones or missiles hit their target.
00:52Officials said one person was injured.
00:57A recent escalation in aerial attacks has coincided with a renewed Russian battlefield push on eastern and northeastern parts of the front line.
01:06Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky said late on Sunday that in some of those areas, quote,
01:12the situation is very difficult, but provided no details.
01:17So far, two recent rounds of direct peace talks between Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul have yielded no significant breakthroughs.
01:25A referendum in Italy on easing access to citizenship and boosting worker protection failed due to low turnout.
01:40To be valid, the vote required participation from at least 50% plus one of eligible voters.
01:47However, Italian authorities said slightly less than 30% of eligible voters had cast their ballots at the end of two days of voting.
01:58One ballot question asked voters whether the residency requirement for Italian citizenship should be caught from ten to five years.
02:06The remaining four questions addressed recent reforms on labour rights and protections.
02:13The proposals came from Italy's unions and left-wing opposition parties.
02:18But the ruling coalition opposed the measures, with some politicians urging voters to stay away and sink the turnout below the quorum threshold.
02:28Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Malone went to the polling station, but deliberately left without voting.
02:41Donald Trump's travel ban on 12 countries went into effect on Monday.
02:46The United States President banned travel to the US by citizens of 12 countries and restricted access for those from seven others.
02:54He had announced the ban last week, citing security concerns.
02:59The ban comes as part of Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration that has often pushed the limits of executive power
03:07and clashed with federal judges trying to restrain him.
03:10Groups that provide aid and resettlement help to refugees denounced the ban.
03:16They say the policy is not about national security, but instead sows division.
03:22In his first term in 2017, Trump had similarly issued an executive order banning travel to the US by citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries.
03:34At least 27 people were arrested in downtown Los Angeles as thousands took to the streets to protest
03:48US President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown and his deployment of National Guard troops.
03:55Protesters shut down a major freeway and set self-driving cars on fire, prompting law enforcement to respond with tear gas,
04:03rubber bullets and flashbang grenades.
04:06This was the third and most intense day of demonstrations in Southern California.
04:12Sparked by Trump's immigration crackdown and the arrival of roughly 300 National Guard troops.
04:19The troops were deployed to guard federal buildings, including a detention center that became the focal point of the protests.
04:26California Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, urged Trump to withdraw the troops, calling the move a serious breach of state sovereignty.
04:35It marked the first time in decades that National Guard troops were deployed to a state without the governor's request.
04:45An Australian television journalist was hit in the leg by a non-lethal round while reporting live during the protests.
04:55Demonstrations began Friday after reports emerged that Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, agents were conducting raids across predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods.
05:12Trump has escalated immigration raids during his second term, directing ICE to detain up to 3,000 people per day.
05:27Iran claims to have obtained information on Israel's nuclear program.
05:34The country's intelligence minister, Esmail Khatib, said the documents were retrieved through infiltration and access to sources, but did not provide any evidence.
05:45The announcement comes days before the UN's nuclear watchdog prepares to meet.
06:00Iran is expected to face renewed diplomatic pressure over its failure to clarify long-standing questions about its nuclear activity.
06:21Israeli forces stopped a Gaza-bound aid ship early Monday briefly detaining the passengers, including Greta Thunberg and other activists.
06:34The interception of the Madeline ship came as it entered Palestinian territory, where a long-standing blockade has been tightened by Israel during the war with Hamas.
06:44The Israeli foreign ministry and social media posts gave updates on the situation, saying the passengers of the ship, which it described as a selfie yacht of celebrities, were safe and unharmed.
06:57The foreign ministry said the activists were being taken to Israel and expected to then return to their home countries.
07:04Organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the Voyage had set out to protest Israel's ongoing military campaign in the Gaza Strip, currently one of the world's deadliest wars.
07:16Thunberg, a climate campaigner, was among the 12 activists aboard the Madeline which set sail from Sicily a week ago.
07:24After a two-and-a-half-month total blockade aimed at pressuring Hamas, Israel started allowing some basic aid into Gaza last month, but humanitarian workers have warned of famine unless the blockade is lifted.
07:38China's exports to the United States fell 34.5% in May from a year earlier, new customs data show, hours ahead of another round of trade talks between the two countries in London.
07:54China's total exports rose 4.8% last month, a slightly slower year-on-year increase.
08:01Exports to Southeast Asia and Europe remained robust, growing 14.8% and 12%.
08:07Exports will likely rebound somewhat in June thanks to a 90-day suspension of most of the tariffs China and the U.S. imposed on each other in their escalating trade war.
08:17At the same time, China's own domestic markets are suffering, with consumer prices falling 0.1% in May amid sluggish demand.
08:26The next round of negotiations follows a phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping,
08:32but it's unclear if that exchange will lead to any significant progress during the talks this week.
08:42For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, Santorini, one of the most popular Greek islands, is experiencing a decline in tourist traffic.
08:51Earthquake activity on the island earlier this year deterred many international visitors from choosing it for their summer holidays.
08:59In recent weeks, arrivals have been increasing, but the island is far from the highs of previous years.
09:06I've been to Santorini years ago and always wanted to come back. And here we are, we finally made it back.
09:13Did you hear about the earthquakes earlier this year?
09:16We did. They happened, they were over, and we're still coming. It's a beautiful place to come.
09:21Earthquakes can't stop you from coming to this beautiful city.
09:25Santorini is on our bucket list, somewhere everyone has to go, and it's fabulous. Really good, loving it.
09:31Have you heard anything about earthquakes in the island?
09:35Yes, our tour guide told us that there have been earthquakes in the island.
09:38And you had lots in February, but it's all good now. Perfectly safe.
09:42Santorini's been really, really fun. We've only been here a day, but we woke up really, really early
09:46and just had a look at all the shops, the cafes, the restaurants.
09:50The view is just amazing from where we're staying. Was it Cliff Sight Suites?
09:54Cliff Sight Suites, yeah.
09:55Really nice, and everyone's just really, really friendly. It's definitely a culture shock from the UK.
10:00The island's hotels are offering discounts on room rates to attract last-minute tourists.
10:05At the same time, the cost of living crisis affecting Europe and the United States is also leaving its imprint on Santorini.
