00:00Before accompanying him to the White House, European leaders reiterated the need for a united front ahead of a meeting between Trump and Zelensky.
00:11Dozens were arrested in Israel during protests demanding the Israeli government strike a deal for the release of hostages in Gaza.
00:21Early results showed Bolivia's centrist candidate Rodrigo Paz secured a surprise lead in Sunday's presidential election.
00:30Air Canada said it suspended plans to restart operations after the union representing flight attendants to fight a return to work order.
00:41Before accompanying him to the White House, European leaders reiterated the need for a united front ahead of a landmark meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
00:53Addressing journalists on the eve of the summit, French President Emmanuel Macron said showing weakness today in front of Russia would lay the ground for future conflicts.
01:04Good evening, Julie.
01:04There cannot be any territorial discussions regarding Ukraine without the democratically elected representatives of Ukraine.
01:14There cannot be any discussions regarding Ukraine without the Ukrainians.
01:17But in the same way, there cannot be any discussions regarding the security of Europeans without them.
01:21Other European leaders, including Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Maloney and Czech Prime Minister Peter Fiala also stressed the need for clear security guarantees for Ukraine.
01:36Extremely productive.
01:37Extremely productive.
01:37Extremely productive.
01:4138 people were arrested in Israel during nationwide protests, where demonstrators demanded their government strike a deal for the release of hostages in Gaza.
01:51Protesters gathered at dozens of points across Israel, including outside politicians' homes, military headquarters and on major highways.
02:02Police used water cannons to disperse them as they blocked the roads.
02:08Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has previously demanded the immediate release of hostages, but is balancing the threat of mutiny from within his coalition.
02:18Far-right members of his cabinet say they won't support any deal that allows Hamas to remain in power.
02:23Netanyahu said one of Israel's conditions for ending the war is what he described as Israel's security control over Gaza, something that has drawn international condemnation.
02:33Within the enclave, international aid continues to be airdropped, though humanitarian groups warn it is not enough.
02:40Hospitals in Gaza say at least 17 aid seekers were killed by Israeli forces on Sunday, including nine waiting for aid trucks.
02:48Bolivia's dark horse centrist candidate Rodrigo Paz secured a surprise lead in Sunday's presidential election, early results showed.
02:59With over 90 percent of the ballots counted, he received nearly 33 percent of the votes cast.
03:04In second place was right-wing former president Jorge Quiroga, who secured 26.4 percent of votes.
03:11The candidates are headed for a runoff, as 50 percent or 40 percent with a 10-point margin were needed for an outright victory.
03:19The results delivered a major blow to the Andean nation's movement towards socialism or mass party after almost 20 years of dominance.
03:28The party's founder, charismatic ex-president Evo Morales rose to power as part of the pink tide of leftist leaders that swept into office across Latin America during the commodities boom of the early 2000s.
03:41The elevation of the more moderate Paz apparently reflects Bolivian ambivalence about a wholesale political flip to a right-wing establishment.
03:50Paz has tried to distance himself from Morales' now-shattered mass party, which has failed to halt an economic tailspin.
03:57Air Canada said it suspended plans to restart operations after the union representing 10,000 flight attendants to fight a return-to-work order.
04:12The strike, announced on Friday, was already affecting about 130,000 travelers around the world per day during the peak summer travel season.
04:22Well, we've been trying to get through on the phone to Air Canada to try and rebook our flights, been looking online, there's nothing available, we can't get through on the phone.
04:32And so I just decided to come down here to the airport to see if I could talk to an agent and get something booked.
04:40I'm trying to get back home to London. Hopefully I'm going to get back, but we'll see, I guess.
04:46Less than 12 hours after workers walked off the job, Canada's federal jobs minister ordered the flight attendants back to work.
04:54But union members say they will continue to refuse work until their demands are heard, calling the return-to-work order unconstitutional.
05:02Air Canada has been in contract talks with the union for about eight months, but they have yet to reach a tentative deal.
05:09The Canadian government maintains it is not anti-union, saying it is clear the two sides are at an impasse.
05:17So, as an agent and a company, we think there are more than two sides of the run, is cultural property and it is illegal or even more than two sides of the road.
05:25The Canadian government has been in contract talks with the union of the American government,
05:28The Canadian government at this point has more than two sides of the route.
05:30Whatever is available to us, it seems to be an excellent place to see if you are on the ground.
05:35A team of the national courts have been in the same place for the sake of the country,
05:38The Canadian government has been in peace.
05:40The Canadian government has been in the same place for the national community.
05:42The Canadian government has been in the same place,
05:44We know there are a number of countries and in the United States of the United States.
06:46I love you.
07:43And it certainly helps, you know, it actually made it so that we really didn't have to do a lot of prep work in terms of that relationship.
07:51I mean, our relationship is very different from the couple in the movie.
07:55But in terms of just having that history that an audience can feel, all of that stuff is already there.
08:02And there are very intimate scenes in this movie.
08:06We are doing stuff in this movie that we've never done in real life.
08:11And so it would have been weird to do it with anyone that wasn't my wife.
08:15During the shooting of this movie, we had sex for the first time.
08:20We've been together 13 years.
08:22It was an honor to witness.
08:25It felt like a really special day.
09:26My ambition for the redevelopment from the start was to try and recreate spaces as they might have appeared when Henry I visited Norwich Castle in 1121 as accurately as possible.
09:45So with the best academic evidence for objects, for decorations using archaeology and manuscript evidence, architectural evidence, any evidence that we could get that was directly informing us about what materials were like in the early 12th century.
10:20When we talk about a planetary parade as something you can see in the sky, it's that the planets
10:45appear in a roughly line-like position across the sky.
11:10Mercury just kind of crawls away from the sun for a few nights and we can see it right
11:14after sunset or right before sunrise and it goes behind the sun again as it goes around
11:20the sun.
11:22That's why it's a tricky planet to observe, but it's there.
