00:21Several European countries will be halting their postal services to the U.S.

00:26after Donald Trump scrapped a tax exemption on low-import goods worth less than $800 or €688 last month.

00:36The White House said it is aiming to combat illegal and abusive practices

00:39such as the importation of illegal drugs into the United States.

00:44Letters and small parcels under $100 or €85 will not be affected.

00:49The U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Holland will temporarily suspend services as of next week

00:57while Belgium already stopped shipping packages to the U.S. on Friday.

01:02Trump's announcement comes after the U.S. and the European Union agreed on a new trade deal

01:07ending months of uncertainty.

01:09Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky marked the country's National Flag Day

01:19with a ceremony in the capital, Kyiv.

01:21The ceremony was attended by top lawmakers including Prime Minister Yulia Zverdenko,

01:27military personnel and local officials.

01:30Every year, on the eve of Independence Day, Ukrainian flags are raised above government buildings

01:35and from windows across the country to mark the occasion.

01:39It commemorates the push for Ukrainian independence from the Soviet Union

01:42following a failed coup attempt.

01:44Zelensky says the flag is a purpose and dream many people in Ukraine's occupied territories cherish,

01:51adding that it was a symbol of unity and hope for a future free of Russia.

01:54A ceremony came as the Kremlin continued its aerial assault on Ukrainian cities.

02:00On Saturday, three people were injured in Kramatorsk and Donetsk

02:04in the eastern Donbass region.

02:06Moscow says it claimed two more settlements in the region

02:09as it intensifies its offensive in its invasion well into its fourth year.

02:14Zelensky accused Russia of being insincere about wanting peace

02:17and called for added pressure on the Kremlin to force them to the negotiating table.

02:24Security guarantees agreements for Ukraine will ensure Russian President Vladimir Putin

02:30will never try to attack Ukraine again.

02:33NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said this on Friday during a visit to Kyiv.

02:38After the meeting with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky,

02:41Rutte said the alliance's support for Ukraine remains unwavering and continues to grow.

02:46As we all know, the Budapest Memorandum and Minsk did not provide those security guarantees.

02:52So we clearly know what it should not be.

02:56And we are now working together, Ukraine, the Europeans, the United States,

03:00to make sure that the security guarantees are of such a level that Vladimir,

03:04Vladimir Putin, sitting in Moscow, will never ever try to attack Ukraine again.

03:09Following Monday's multilateral meeting at the White House,

03:13the NATO chief said U.S. President Donald Trump made it clear

03:16the United States will indeed be involved in providing security guarantees for Ukraine.

03:22According to Rutte, discussions about deploying foreign troops to Ukraine

03:26as part of security guarantees are ongoing,

03:29but it is too early to say what will be the outcome.

03:35Gaza is gripped by famine, the first time a confirmation has been made.

03:40According to a Rome-based IPC report,

03:43more than half a million people in Gaza are trapped in the hunger crisis,

03:47marked by widespread starvation, destitution, and preventable deaths.

03:52Following the report, the UN warns that the situation is likely to spread across the territory

03:58without an end to restrictions on humanitarian aid.

04:01It is a famine, the Gaza famine.

04:06It is a famine that we could have prevented if we had been allowed.

04:10My ask, my plea, my demand to Prime Minister Netanyahu

04:16and anyone who can reach him, enough, ceasefire.

04:23The IPC report comes after months of warnings by aid groups

04:27that Israel's restrictions on food and other aid into Gaza

04:31were causing high levels of starvation among Palestinian civilians, particularly children.

04:37Israel on Friday once again rejected the report,

04:40insisting that the findings were based on Hamas lies.
