00:00Following a meeting with Zelensky and European leaders in Washington,
00:04Trump affirmed his country would back European security guarantees in Ukraine.
00:09At least seven people were killed and more than a dozen injured after Russia struck Kharkiv overnight into Monday,
00:16just hours before a heavily anticipated Trump-Zelensky meeting.
00:20Norwegian prosecutors have indicted the eldest son of Crown Princess Meta Merit on 32 counts,
00:26including multiple counts of rape and abuse.
00:30Hamas informed mediators that it approved the latest Gaza ceasefire proposal,
00:35several international and Israeli media outlets reported.
00:40U.S. President Donald Trump affirmed his country would back European security guarantees in Ukraine
00:47following the highly anticipated meeting between himself, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky,
00:52and European leaders.
00:55Details of the security guarantees are still evolving,
00:58and Trump did not specify what Ukraine would be asked to give in exchange.
01:03Zelensky welcomed the commitment from Trump, adding that he'd had the opportunity for the first time
01:08to directly talk with him about the importance of the captured areas to Ukraine.
01:12Trump announced that he had called Russian President Vladimir Putin after the talks to set up a
01:18trilateral meeting with Zelensky.
01:19Zelensky said he was willing to meet without preconditions,
01:23but also stressed the importance of a face-to-face meeting with Putin to end the war.
01:29At least seven people were killed, and more than a dozen others were injured.
01:36After Russia struck Kharkiv overnight into Monday,
01:37Ukrainian officials say the Kremlin fired a new barrage of missiles.
01:41missiles and drones targeting the northeastern city.
01:42Regional governor of Kharkiv, Oleg Sinéubov,
01:43Oleg Sinéubov says a two-year-old
01:49boy was among those killed in the attack.
01:59Six of those wounded were also children, ranging from six to 17 and 18.
02:02He was a very happy man of the war, and he was a very happy man of the war.
02:06At least seven people were killed, and more than a dozen others were injured
02:10after Russia struck Kharkiv overnight into Monday.
02:13Ukrainian officials say the Kremlin fired a new barrage of missiles and drones targeting the northeastern city.
02:17ranging from 6 to 17 in age.
02:20Local officials say many victims are still trapped under the rubble,
02:24warning that figures may continue to rise.
02:27Kharkiv has been a target of Russia's intensified aerial assault.
02:31On Sunday, the city was struck with an array of drones and guided bombs, injuring several people.
02:37The adjacent Sumy region also came under Russian attack in the early hours of Monday.
02:42Two people were injured and more than a dozen homes in an educational institution sustained damage.
02:48The Black Sea port city of Odessa has also been placed under monitoring
02:52after residents reported hearing explosions late on Sunday and into the early hours of Monday.
02:58The attacks come as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Washington
03:02for a crucial meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in the White House.
03:07Trump, just hours before he's due to welcome Zelenskyy,
03:10ruled out joining NATO and reclaiming Crimea as part of any potential peace deal with Russia.
03:16The meeting comes just days after Trump's Alaskan summit
03:19with Russia's President Vladimir Putin in a military base on Friday.
03:23Zelenskyy, making his first visit to the White House since late February's dramatic showdown,
03:28will be accompanied by a slew of European leaders,
03:31NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
03:40Russian President has reportedly told Donald Trump that one of his demands is full control of Donbass.
03:50Now, the region in eastern Ukraine with a pre-war population of six and a half million people
03:57includes two regions, Donetsk and Luhansk.
04:01Moscow's demands regarding it are not new.
04:03They aren't even from 2022.
04:07Putin has been trying to occupy Donbass for 11 years since Russia's first invasion of Ukraine.
04:12But even with the fallout war of 2022,
04:16Moscow still failed to occupy all of Donbass militarily
04:19and hopes to do it now with the maximalist demands under Trump's mediation.
04:23The U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War estimates that Russia will be unable to seize
04:30all of Donetsk region rapidly by force since Moscow has been trying to do so for over a decade and failed.
04:39Russia could only rapidly seize all of Donetsk region if Ukraine concedes to Putin's demands and withdraws from it.
04:47Putin's claim that Russian forces will inevitably seize all of Donetsk region if the war continues is false.
04:56The Russian campaign for Chasivyar began in May 2023
05:00after Russian forces seized Bahmut east of Chasivyar
05:04and has then intensified a year later in April 2024.
05:08It has taken Russian forces 26 months to advance roughly 11 kilometers
05:13from western Bahmut to the western edge of Chasivyar.
05:16The Pokrovsk assault campaign began in February 2024 after the seizure of Avdiyevka.
05:22Moscow has dedicated multiple efforts to seizing Pokrovsk through frontal assaults,
05:27envelopment or encirclement, all of which has been unsuccessful after more than 18 months.
05:33Putin previously said that he also wants to control two more regions of Ukraine,
05:39Zaporizhia and Kherson.
05:41This, according to the UK Defense Ministry, would take Moscow four years and a half
05:46and two more million Russian casualties killed and wounded
05:51on top of one million troops that Russia has already lost in casualties
05:55since the beginning of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
05:59Norwegian prosecutors have indicted the eldest son of Crown Princess Meta Meret on multiple charges
06:08following a lengthy investigation.
06:1128-year-old Marius Borg Hojby was charged with close to three dozen counts,
06:15including multiple counts of rape and abuse.
06:18He was also charged with other offenses, including violence against a former partner,
06:22making death threats, and traffic violations.
06:25Hojby faces up to 10 years behind bars if convicted on all counts.
06:30His defense attorney in a statement said that his client denies all charges of sexual abuse
06:34and the majority of violence charges and plans to fight it in court.
06:39Prosecutors say they expect the trial to begin in mid-January next year
06:43and estimate it to last around six weeks.
06:45Hamas informed mediators that it approved the latest Gaza ceasefire proposal,
06:55several international and Israeli media outlets reported.
06:59The proposal was presented to the militant group a day before.
07:03It involved a framework agreement for a 60-day ceasefire
07:07and a two-step release of the hostages held in Gaza.
07:09Egypt and Qatar were mediating the talks with Hamas
07:13in an effort to revive the stalled negotiations.
07:16Speaking at a news conference,
07:18the Egyptian foreign minister also addressed rumors about Palestinian relocation.
07:22efforts to reach a ceasefire were ramped up after Israel announced plans to take complete control of Gaza City.
07:49This had raised further international concerns amid fears of a worsening humanitarian catastrophe in the Strip.
08:00To celebrate 70 years of being the world's largest music event,
08:05Eurovision Song Contest got a fresh new look,
08:07including new logos and a custom-made font.
08:10The original hand-drawn logo was redesigned into a single simplified design.
08:15The contest's iconic heart, however, remains at the center of the logo.
08:20It now incorporates 70 layers, one for each year of Eurovision.
08:25The brand-new identity will be used across all platforms
08:28as Austria gears up to host a competition in 2026.
08:36Debunking Russian allegations that the EU is plotting Hungarian regime change.
08:41Russia's intelligence service, the SVR,
08:48has alleged that the European Commission is studying scenarios for regime change in Hungary.
08:54In a statement on the 13th of August, the SVR says,
08:57The statement also alleges that the Ukrainian government has actively joined the campaign
09:18to dismantle the Hungarian government on orders from Brussels.
09:24The allegations have been amplified by known disinformation actors online.
09:30Independent Hungarian journalists say Russia's spy service is openly campaigning against Peter Magyar,
09:37who is Orbán's fiercest political rival,
09:40in order to discredit him ahead of parliamentary elections expected next April.
09:45Orbán, considered a Kremlin-friendly voice within the European Union,
09:49has consistently stalled EU support to Ukraine
09:52by wielding Hungary's veto power on foreign policy decisions.
09:57The polls suggest Orbán could be unseated as Hungary's prime minister next year
10:03after 15 years in power.
10:15The human embryos are like three living forms, three floating forms, it's called, for five days.
10:26Day five, there are 200 cells, more or less, very, very microscopy.
10:30Then they need to attach to the mother,
10:33and you lose them until they show up in an ultrasound weeks later, right?
10:38So what happens between day five and the ultrasound?
10:42It's completely black box.
10:45It's a fascinating study because it's really looking to try and understand
11:00why some embryos implant and why some don't.
11:03It's obviously a very difficult part of reproduction to study,
11:07and so the scientists have come up with a model
11:10whereby embryos can implant in a laboratory into tissue
11:15that's very, very similar to endometrium,
11:18which is the lining of the uterus.
11:19in fact, have a good few artists.
11:20It's absolutely true.
11:22Thank you very much.
11:40Bye.
11:41Bye.
11:41Bye.
11:43Bye.
11:45Bye.
11:46Bye.
11:46Bye.
11:48Bye.
