00:00Gaza is gripped by famine, the first time a confirmation has been made.

00:05According to a Rome-based IPC report,

00:07more than half a million people in Gaza are trapped in the hunger crisis,

00:12marked by widespread starvation, destitution and preventable deaths.

00:17Following the report, the UN warned that the situation is likely to spread across the territory

00:22without an end to restrictions on humanitarian aid.

00:25It is a famine. The Gaza famine.

00:30It is a famine that we could have prevented if we had been allowed.

00:35My ask, my plea, my demand to Prime Minister Netanyahu

00:40and anyone who can reach him, enough.

00:47Ceasefire.

00:48The IPC report comes after months of warnings by aid groups

00:52that Israel's restrictions on food and other aid into Gaza

00:56were causing high levels of starvation among Palestinian civilians, particularly children.

01:02Israel on Friday once again rejected the report,

01:05insisting that the findings were based on Hamas lies.

01:08Security guarantees agreement for Ukraine will ensure Russian President Vladimir Putin

01:16will never try to attack Ukraine again.

01:19NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said this on Friday during a visit to Kyiv.

01:24After the meeting with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky,

01:27Rutte said the alliance's support for Ukraine remains unwavering and continues to grow.

01:33As we all know, the Budapest Memorandum and Minsk did not provide those security guarantees.

01:39So we clearly know what it should not be.

01:42And we are now working together, Ukraine, the Europeans, the United States,

01:46to make sure that the security guarantees are of such a level

01:49that Vladimir, Vladimir Putin, sitting in Moscow,

01:53will never, ever try to attack Ukraine again.

01:56Following Monday's multilateral meeting at the White House,

01:59the NATO chief said U.S. President Donald Trump made it clear

02:03the United States will indeed be involved in providing security guarantees for Ukraine.

02:09According to Rutte, discussions about deploying foreign troops to Ukraine

02:13as part of security guarantees are ongoing,

02:16but it is too early to say what will be the outcome.

02:20Authorities in Ukraine on Friday said over one million people require evacuation

02:27from frontline areas in the country, mostly in the east,

02:31with some 84,000 of them being children.

02:34According to local officials, more than 600,000 people have been evacuated

02:39from the Donetsk and neighboring regions so far.

02:42The large-scale wave of evacuations comes amid heavy Russian shelling

03:03and military advances in the region.

03:05Ukraine's Donetsk region has become the epicenter of a decade-long attempt

03:25by Russian forces to gain full control of Donetsk.

03:29Last week, Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, warned Russia

03:33wanted the 90,000 square kilometers of Donetsk under Kiev's control,

03:38a proposal the Ukrainian leader rejected.

03:44Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced the creation

03:47of a new inter-ministerial commission for climate change

03:50as Spain battles one of its worst wildfire seasons on record.

03:54The Spanish leader acknowledged the devastation wildfires have brought

04:00across the country and thanked other European countries

04:03for sending assistance.

04:07Asturias no había vivido nunca que se recordara de manera tan recurrente

04:14temperaturas de más de 40 grados.

04:17Y esto creo que nos tiene que llevar a la reflexión de que, en efecto,

04:20estamos viendo cómo la emergencia climática avanza de manera cada vez más acelerada.

04:28At least four people have died in Spain's wildfires this summer

04:31as rescue teams work hard to put out the blazes.

04:35In recent days, 20 wildfires have affected the region of Asturias

04:39in northwest Spain, with small signs of some fires being brought under control by Friday.

04:45The country is facing an historically bad wildfire season

04:48with a record amount of hectares of land burned this year alongside Portugal.
