00:00U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States will send more weapons to Ukraine on Monday.
00:08The decision announced during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
00:13comes just days after the Pentagon paused key arms deliveries to Kyiv,
00:19citing concerns about falling stockpiles.
00:24We're going to send some more weapons.
00:26They have to be able to defend themselves.
00:28They're getting hit very hard now.
00:30They're getting hit very hard.
00:32We're going to have to send more weapons.
00:33Your defensive weapons, primarily.
00:36Trump also said that he was disappointed and not happy about the fact that Russian leader
00:42Vladimir Putin has not stopped his war yet on Ukraine
00:46and that this war would never have happened if he had been president.
00:51Last week, Trump held separate calls with both Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
00:58Russian Transport Minister Roman Starovojt was found dead near Moscow just hours after President Vladimir Putin fired him.
01:12Domestic media reported that Starovojt died in an apparent suicide.
01:16The Kremlin provided no specific details for his dismissal,
01:20but it came following massive disruptions of Russian civilian airspace caused by Ukrainian drone raids.
01:27Over the weekend, almost 500 flights ended up getting cancelled.
01:30That's according to the Russian Federal Aviation Agency.
01:34The agency added that in total from early Saturday morning until Monday morning,
01:39roughly 1,900 flights were delayed.
01:41Donald Trump's threat over Greenland isn't done and over yet, Denmark has warned,
01:55even if the prospect of a military invasion remains improbable.
01:59Denmark says it's ready to deepen cooperation with Washington
02:02to strengthen the security of Greenland
02:04and explore business opportunities to exploit its deposits of critical raw materials.
02:11But Copenhagen insists the conversation on Greenland must never be about annexation,
02:18as the American president has publicly suggested.
02:21Well, we are still working to figure out what is actually the true American ambition.
02:27I mean, we realize and I think we share the opinion that the security situation in the Arctic has changed.
02:34And we are ready to, and by we, I mean the Kingdom of Denmark,
02:37the government in Greenland and Denmark are ready to cooperate with the American government to accommodate that.
02:44So if it's about security, it's about access to raw materials,
02:48it's about closer business relations, people-to-people contact, etc.,
02:52we are ready to do our part.
02:55If it's a geological vision about, you know, enlarging the American territory,
03:01there's absolutely no way we can accommodate that, of course.
03:05Early this year, Trump sent shockwaves across Europe
03:08when he said the United States would control Greenland one way or the other,
03:13refusing to rule out the possibility of military force.
03:17The threat of annexation prompted an outpour of solidarity and support,
03:22including from French President Emmanuel Macron.
03:25Donald Trump's threat to seize Greenland has rattled the European Union,
03:30but Denmark is confident that beyond Trump's incendiary words,
03:35there could be room for a compromise.
03:37Still, diplomacy with the White House is, as today, very unreliable,
03:41so Copenhagen might be taking a very big leap of faith.
03:45Jorge Libareiro, Euronews, Orjus.
03:52European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen defended her presidency
03:57against a motion of censure tabled by the radical right of the European Parliament.
04:02Von der Leyen said the motion was trying to drive a wedge
04:05between pro-European political groups in the Parliament.
04:08She vowed to, quote, never let extremists rewrite history.
04:12We can all make our own judgments about the merits of the motion in front of us.
04:20It is taken right from the oldest playbook of extremists.
04:25The censure motion was tabled by a Romanian MP and co-signed by 77 lawmakers.
04:43It includes several accusations, including the non-disclosure of private text messages
04:50with the CEO of vaccine maker Pfizer,
04:53bypassing Parliament for the approval of a defence loan programme
04:56and alleged interference in elections in Germany and Romania.
05:01Von der Leyen refuted the accusations as false claims
05:04and defended the management of the pandemic as a true form of European solidarity.
05:13The
05:31The
05:32Imagine that as a mother you have just given birth
05:35and then your baby is being taken away from you into critical care
05:40and the doctors just tell you, well, there's a few tests that we need to do
05:45and then the baby has malaria, which can, as you know, be deadly,
05:50particularly in very small infants.
05:53And then you're being told, well, we are going to try to treat your baby,
05:59but there's currently no approved and tested medicine out there that is appropriate
06:03for this baby and we need to crush tablets and we hopefully will get it right.
06:08So that's sort of the gap that existed and still exists until we bring this medicine to the marketplace.
06:16And Coartem Baby is based on the well-established Coartem.
06:21We have treated more than 1.1 billion patients over the last 25 years with this medicine,
06:27but the newborns are immature in terms of their ability to metabolise certain medicines.
06:34Then through modelling, we realised that because it's a fixed dose combination of two ingredients,
06:42that we had to change the ratio because otherwise you would underdose with one of the ingredients
06:48or overdose with the other ingredient.
06:50There is 30 million babies born every year in malaria-endemic countries
07:08and essentially every one of those is a potential target for malaria infections.
07:14So it's hard for us to see how many patients will benefit in the end,
07:19but there is a potential that no matter how big or small it is,
07:23we felt saving lives and newborns is worth the development effort that we are making.
07:44So,
07:49I think this is the only difference between the family and young people.
07:50So,
07:50I think this is what we do.
07:52This is a Ш笑toch and I think this is considered a problem.
07:55So,
07:56if you've got that problem,
07:57I think it's not just that it's not just that it's not just the same time.
08:00You're not just that it's not just that it's not just the same time.
08:03It's just that it's not just the same time that we have to do that,
09:33There's a very interesting sociology study showing that when families divide chores more fairly, each family member's stress levels reduce drastically and communication improves.
09:49And this eventually leads to happier relationships and better relationships.
09:54We've already seen among accord users that the gap has shrunk dramatically for the people using the app.
10:22So before accord, these women were generally doing twice as much as men did.
10:30And with accord, the gap has been reduced by 60 percent if we look at the gender balance.
10:37So it's not like all the way there, but we see a huge improvement there, which is really fun for us.
