00:00Air raid alarms sound in Tel Aviv and Beersheva in the early hours of Tuesday as the Israel-Iran conflict rolls into its fifth day.
00:11G7 leaders convened in the Canadian Rockies in a summit clouded by heightened global tensions, war and instability.
00:21Zelensky has succeeded in drawing non-military support from Austria in his first visit since Russia's full-scale invasion.
00:30Residents of Tel Aviv and the southern city of Beersheva were woken up in the early hours of Tuesday to loud air raid alarms going off.
00:40The sirens were activated after Iranian state-run media reported that the military had launched missiles at Israel.
00:46The threat was only short-lived as Israel's military soon confirmed that no strikes were expected.
00:52But over the past four days, Iran and Israel have exchanged hundreds of cross-border missile attacks killing dozens of people.
01:00Tehran called Israel's attacks a war crime while indicating that their response is proportionate and rooted in self-defense.
01:08The Israeli regime deliberately struck densely populated civilian areas in multiple large Iranian cities where a million lives.
01:18So far, 1,480 people have been killed or injured.
01:25At least 224 civilians, including women and children, have been killed.
01:32Iran will resolutely defend its security and territorial integrity.
01:38We focused only on military and economic assets involved in the aggression.
01:43Iran does not seek war or escalation.
01:48But we will not hesitate to defend our people, our territory and our sovereignty.
01:55At least 24 Israelis were killed in Iranian attacks so far, with close to 600 others injured.
02:02Israel has vowed to continue retaliating against Tehran, adding that there is only one way to end this conflict.
02:08You want to de-escalate like we want to de-escalate.
02:12You want to de-escalate, get the nukes out of Iran's hand.
02:15That's all there is to it.
02:16It's all very simple.
02:17Escalation means rushing to the bomb.
02:20Escalation means attacking us with missiles from all over.
02:23That's escalation.
02:25Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump departed Canada a day early where he's been partaking in the G7 summit due to the conflict intensifying.
02:32In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump warned all residents of Tehran to immediately evacuate the city, potentially hinting at an imminent major Israeli offensive.
02:43Since the first strikes on Iran three days ago, Israel has targeted and killed several senior officials of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
03:01Mohamed Bagheri, the chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces since 2016, was among the casualties.
03:09He was ranking second only to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
03:16Hossein Salami was killed too.
03:18This early member of the Revolutionary Guards was also close to the Iranian Supreme Leader.
03:25Ghulam Ali Rashid also died in a airstrike.
03:29He was deputy commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces.
03:32Feredun Abazi, the former head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, was too among the prominent scientists killed in Israel airstrikes.
03:45Ali Ajizadeh, commander of the Aerospace Force, is also among the casualties, as well as Mohamed Kazemi, head of intelligence for the Revolutionary Guards.
03:57At least 200 people were killed so far, according to the Iranian Health Ministry.
04:04Health authorities also reported that more than 1,000 people were wounded.
04:09Leaders have been convening in Canada in a G7 summit clouded by global tensions, war, and instability.
04:25In opening the summit, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney stressed that the world looks to the G7 for leadership.
04:32The summit comes as Russia's invasion of Ukraine rages on, and Israel's offensive in Gaza shows no sign of slowing down.
04:40Leaders scrambled to look for ways to contain the rapidly intensifying new conflict between Israel and Iran.
04:46Dozens of civilians were killed in hundreds of missile strikes across the two countries over the span of four days.
04:53Trump left the summit in the Canadian Rockies a day ahead of plans, with the White House saying the decision was due to escalations in the conflict.
05:01Early on Tuesday, Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social, where he hinted at a possible major Israeli attack on Iran.
05:09The U.S. president said Iran should have signed a deal when they had the chance, as he warned all residents of the capital, Tehran, to evacuate immediately.
05:18The summit also formalized a new trade agreement between the U.S. and U.K. based on a framework pact announced last month.
05:26Trump says the deal is fair to both countries and will generate lots of income and jobs, a sentiment echoed by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
05:34Trump courted controversy early in the summit as he expressed his desire to expand the organization to include Russia and maybe even China.
05:43Trump says the decision to remove Russia from the G8 in 2014 was a very big mistake, noting that leaders must be able to speak to one another at summits.
05:52In his first visit to Austria since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, President Zelenskyy has succeeded in drawing non-military support from the traditionally neutral nation.
06:09The Ukrainian leader confirmed the two countries had signed a number of cooperation agreements in key areas, including on Ukraine's reconstruction.
06:20Zelenskyy's visit to Austria comes ahead of his trip to the G7 summit in Canada, where he is expected to call for more sanctions on Russia
06:50President Donald Trump.
06:53It also comes as Russia claims the U.S. has cancelled upcoming talks aimed at restoring diplomatic relations and resuming peace negotiations with Ukraine.
07:04Meanwhile, an exchange between Ukraine and Russia of the remains of soldiers killed in action, an arrangement agreed upon during the last round of peace talks in Istanbul has been completed.
07:16On the ground, however, Russian attacks continue, with a drone strike hitting the city of Sumy on Sunday night and Ukrainian power engineers coming under fire in Dnipro-Petrov's oblast.
07:31The Paris skies are once again buzzing.
07:38With 2,400 exhibitors from 48 countries and 300,000 expected visitors, the Paris Air Show, the world's largest aerospace event, is back in full force.
07:53But this year, it's not fighter jets grabbing all the attention. Drones and artificial intelligence are rewriting the rules of modern warfare.
08:04With tensions erupting between Israel and Iran, and Russia's war in Ukraine stretching into its fourth year, Europe is racing to rearm and fast.
08:15In a landmark announcement, Italy's Leonardo and Turkey's Baycar launched a joint venture on Monday to develop the next generation drone due in 2026.
08:28Europe, in the unmanaged systems, is quite behind. So, first of all, I think the target is to fill the gap.
08:38Having the possibility to develop different platforms with different payloads and different way to take off, different capability, mission capability,
08:45and to offer them to different countries, different states in Europe, that will be already a very important target in the short to mid-term.
08:54Combat lessons from Ukraine are reshaping European strategy. The EU wants full sovereignty and faster as well as cheaper production.
09:04So, this industrial cooperation, Italy-Turkey, is not a new thing. And the fact of being able to produce in Europe 100% sovereign drones
09:12who are from the Turkish experience with industrialization and Italian quality, is obviously a good thing for the European defense.
09:18With drones reshaping modern warfare, Europe is racing not to be left behind.
09:24Reconstruction is racing not to be left behind.
09:26So, it is actually trying to develop the stride industry, so it's hard to push behind.
09:28Reconstruction is a spaceship by Lee Cajan's
09:28Reconstruction.
09:29Reconstruction is managed by the European Southern Borneo.
09:30Reconstruction is veryakhines and the European Southern Borneo.
09:31Reconstruction is a unique connection that already has been lived in its country for the European National
09:32tracing, now, as the European Union, in India.
09:33The European United States, the European Union, is a huge loss of marine and regional
09:35region.
09:36The European Union County, is a huge number of different countries and more competitive regions and other teams are
09:38and the European Union is a huge market.
09:39And that's a huge number of the US.
09:40The European Union, the European Union Unioners are, it is a huge and beautiful.
09:41Every year, in spring, I go to the beach with a new animal, usually, and then I do, you
10:02know, some I do experiments, and in the fall, I'm a little bit wiser how these animals should
10:09survive in the future. Then, I declare the animals extinct, so they are dead, and they
10:14go to the boneyard. And during the years, there has been a sort of evolutionary history, you
10:21could say, and you could see these animals as a sort of natural, historical object.
10:30To handle the wind is something like working in a circus with the lions. You have to be
10:36friendly against them, and somehow, to influence their behavior, and see how you can use it.
10:45That's the trick.
10:48Well, you see a kind of development in the way he does things. So, they start out very
11:07simple, and then they get increasingly complicated. So, they evolve. So, as he tells it himself,
11:15it is an evolution in his design.
11:22So, toiletine, we tell him to be a town, but...
11:29...and he's amazing...
11:31...he does not know how to do anything.
11:35...he does not know how to do anything.
11:37He does not know how to manage his life in a church.
11:39He does not know how to do anything like this.
11:41He does not know how to do anything, he does not know how to live in his own life.
