00:00Russian overnight strikes pounded Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, killing one person and injuring
00:07at least six, local media reported on Monday. The large-scale drone and missile attack caused
00:14several fires to break out across the city, including in residential buildings, a children's
00:19daycare, outdoor kiosks and a subway station. Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said a total of
00:25seven districts were affected. The strikes come after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
00:31proposed a new round of peace talks to be held this week with Russia. Moscow continues to intensify
00:37its long-range attacks on Ukrainian cities, and analysts say the barrages are likely to escalate.
00:45Meanwhile, Ukraine appears to have intensified drone attacks towards Moscow in response.
00:49Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said air defenses shot down Ukrainian drones over the Russian capital for
00:56a fifth straight night. In the Russian village of Kamenolomny, a fire broke out at a train station
01:03at a result of a Ukrainian drone strike, according to the local mayor.
01:12Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said that his country is planning to file international lawsuits
01:17against Russia. They are doing so with regards to the Azerbaijan Airlines flight that crashed in
01:23December last year. The plane was flying from Baku to Grozny when it crashed near the Kazakh city of
01:29Akhtau, killing 38 people. An initial report revealed that a Russian missile caused the plane to crash.
01:37Speaking to local media, Aliyev said that despite it being, quote,
01:41clear as day that Russia shot down the plane, whether they intended to or not,
01:45Azerbaijan did not receive a meaningful response from Moscow. The president added that Azerbaijan's
01:52demands are a guilty plea from Russia, prosecution of those responsible, as well as financial compensation.
02:04Gaza suffered its deadliest day for aid seekers in more than 21 months of war on Sunday,
02:10with at least 85 Palestinians killed while trying to reach food, according to local health officials.
02:20The highest death toll was reported in northern Gaza, where the situation is especially desperate.
02:28Dozens were reportedly killed trying to reach aid entering through a crossing with Israel.
02:40That's why the Nazis were killed. We would run down to the killings, and the means of Pani.
02:47They would run down to the killings, they would die from heaven.
02:48I went to Azikim for the first time to take the deportation of the government for peace.
02:49I know the torture of the government, the police, and the police and the police, they hit them,
02:52and I said, in the death toll, they opened up with it, and the police are killed.
02:54The violent attacks, the policemen, the shooting coups, the coupage, the armed duty and the fishing,
02:58we stood out and we stood up and I cried in mine with my hand and my hands and the men in my hand.
03:04The Israeli military said soldiers shot at a gathering of thousands of Palestinians in northern Gaza
03:15who they said posed a threat.
03:18It said numbers reported by Gaza officials were higher than their initial investigation found
03:24and accused Hamas militants of creating chaos.
03:28Syria's government on Sunday said clashes in the southern city of Sueda have stopped following a week of fighting
03:39that left hundreds of people dead.
03:41Syria's armed Bedouin clans announced they had withdrawn from Sueda
03:46and the U.S. brokered ceasefire deal reached by the government, Druze groups and Bedouin tribes on Saturday
03:52appeared to be holding.
03:54The ceasefire came as clashes between militias of the Druze religious minority
03:59and the Sunni Muslim clans, threatening Syria's fragile post-war transition.
04:05Israel had also launched dozens of airstrikes in the Druze-majority Sueda province
04:10targeting government forces who had effectively sided with the Bedouins.
04:14According to local officials, the violence was sparked by a series of tit-for-tat kidnappings
04:20in towns and villages in Sueda province, which later spread to the city.
04:25The UN estimates that more than 87,000 people have been displaced in Sueda since July 12
04:30due to the heavy fighting.
04:37Iran has reached an agreement with three major European countries,
04:42Germany, France and the United Kingdom,
04:44to hold renewed talks on the country's nuclear program.
04:48According to local reports, an agreement was reached on the talks format.
04:52However, negotiations are still in progress regarding the precise location and dates of the talks.
04:59Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi said Tehran's approach to negotiating its nuclear file is stronger than before.
05:07Arachi was reported to have spoken to the EU Foreign Policy Chief, Kaya Kallis,
05:11and his counterparts in Britain, France and Germany on Friday.
05:15The talks are expected to open the door to more extensive engagement between Tehran and the West
05:21following the recent 12-day war with Israel that saw massive attacks by both Israel and the U.S.
05:27on key Iranian nuclear facilities.
05:30Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has announced the creation of two new marine parks
05:40in the Ionian and South Aegean Sea.
05:42The Greek government said the aim of the marine parks is to protect and manage ecosystems and species,
05:49while also reintroducing human activities compatible with environmental protection.
05:54These parks will be among the largest marine protected areas in the entire Mediterranean.
06:04They will allow us to meet the target of protecting 30% of our territorial waters by 2030,
06:10way ahead of schedule.
06:12And perhaps, most importantly, inside these marine zones,
06:17the hugely damaging practice of bottom trolling will be banned.
06:20The two parks include and integrate scattered protected areas
06:44that are in the European Natura 2000 network or in the process of being included.
06:50Where can you go to escape the heat?
06:55Climate refuges are becoming more of a solution.
06:59With a wave of intense heat gripping European cities,
07:02climate refuges are places that can offer the population some coolness and relief.
07:08Public parks and gardens, libraries, museums and schools are among places that are open during the day
07:14to receive people who are vulnerable to extreme temperatures.
07:18O efeito de ilha de calor é intensificado nestas ondas de calor e acontece normalmente em cidades.
07:25Isto porque nós temos cidades que estão densamente construídas,
07:29temos muito alcatrão que faz absorver o sol e ao final do dia nós vemos que às 6, 7 da tarde
07:35ainda é possível estar muito calor, apesar de já não estar muito sol, porque o chão absorveu.
07:39Depois temos vários edifícios e muitas vezes ruas estreitas,
07:43o que faz que seja difícil o ar circular.
07:45The city of Barcelona served as a model for the rest of Europe,
07:50not because it was a pioneer, but what really makes the Catalan city a great example
07:55is the clear criteria for defining what a refuge is according to this researcher.
08:00Não é qualquer espaço que é automaticamente um refúgio climático e eu acho muito importante
08:07que esses espaços realmente, para que eles respondam às necessidades dessas populações
08:14que são mais vulneráveis a temperaturas extremas, eles precisam realmente ter esses critérios mínimos,
08:21que como eu falei, precisam ter um espaço mínimo onde as pessoas possam sentar,
08:27possam beber água, possam utilizar o banheiro.
08:30Em Lisboa, onde o descomforto térmico em casas é uma realidade,
08:35a cidade de Cancel não tem ainda promovido o uso de um network de couro de couro.
08:39Mas o cientista de dados, Manoel Banza, tem criado um mapa interáctivo
08:43onde você pode consultar espaços como fonteiros, leis e piscos de piscos municipais.
08:48Há uma grande amplitude térmica nas casas e Lisboa é das piores cidades da Europa
08:55em termos de eficiência energética, o que significa que tanto no verão como no inverno
08:59as pessoas têm dificuldade a aquecer a sua casa ou a arrefecer a sua casa.
09:03E por isso há aqui uma responsabilidade municipal e pública de nós transformarmos o espaço público
09:09num espaço que seja uma extensão das nossas casas.
09:12Além do desconforto, o calor também surge associado ao aumento da mortalidade.
09:17Portugal registrou 284 mortes em excesso entre 28 de junho e 3 de julho,
09:23durante o alerta de tempo quente.
09:25Joana Marão Carvalho para a Euronews em Lisboa.
09:32At least 17 people were killed and 11 others are missing after torrential rains
09:38triggered flash floods in South Korea.
09:39Thousands of people were evacuated from danger zones
09:43after heavy rains slammed the Korean Peninsula for five consecutive days.
09:48The fast-moving water caused major damage to critical infrastructure
09:51as well as to vehicles and properties in the southern town of Sanchong.
09:56Southern regions received between 61 and 79 centimeters of rain since Wednesday,
10:01swelling water bodies leading to the disaster.
10:03Indonesian rescuers said on Monday that three people died
10:11and more than 560 were evacuated from a ferry that caught fire at sea a day earlier.
10:18Authorities previously said five people had died,
10:21but the National Search and Rescue Agency revised it to three
10:24after two passengers initially reported as dead were saved in a hospital,
10:29including a two-month-old baby whose lungs were filled with seawater.
10:34A Coast Guard vessel, six rescue ships and several inflatable boats
10:38were deployed in the rescue operation.
10:40Many survivors were pulled from the sea and taken to nearby islands.
10:45Local fishermen also rescued passengers found drifting in life jackets.
10:49Officials said the fire that began in the ferry's stern
10:52was extinguished within an hour.
10:54Being an island archipelago, ferries are a common mode of transport in Indonesia.
10:59Disasters occur regularly with weak safety enforcement often blamed.
11:08Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is vowing to stay on
11:12despite a major defeat in a crucial parliamentary election.
11:16His coalition lost ground in the upper house of Japanese parliament,
11:20falling three seats short of a majority.
11:22Ishiba says he takes the results seriously,
11:26but warns Japan can't afford a political vacuum.
11:30He says his priority is to tackle impending challenges,
11:34including in August the first deadline for a tariff deal with the U.S.
