00:19Israel has carried out an attack on the Hamas leadership in the Qatari capital, Doha, on Tuesday.
00:38Israeli officials confirmed the strike targeted senior Hamas officials,
00:42further widening its campaign against the militant group.
00:46It is unclear whether there were any casualties at this time.
00:51However, a senior group leader told media organization Al Jazeera that the Hamas leadership delegation survived the attack.
01:03A series of loud explosions rocked Doha's Laktafia area Tuesday afternoon.
01:08Qatar's internal security force, known as the Lakia,
01:11evacuated the area and diverted media away from what is a densely populated neighborhood,
01:15home to several schools and embassies.
01:18Thick clouds of smoke could be seen rising from the affluent residential neighborhood,
01:23leaving residents stunned and on edge.
01:25Israeli forces confirmed responsibility for the targeted attack against senior Hamas leadership,
01:30and are calling it a summit of fire.
01:33In a statement, Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned what it called a, quote,
01:38cowardly Israeli attack on Hamas's political headquarters in Doha.
01:42Spokesman Majid Al Ansari called the strike a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms.
01:48Qatar, along with Egypt, has acted as a mediator in ceasefire talks in the almost two-year-old war in Gaza.
01:56Tuesday's coordinated military strike marks a major escalation in regional tensions as the conflict now extends into Qatar.
02:03Security has been heightened across the country as this developing story has potentially far-reaching consequences.
02:09Adil Halim, Euronews, Doha.
02:12An international activist group seeking to deliver aid to Gaza on a flotilla says one of its boats was hit by what it believes was a drone well docked in Tunisia.
02:27The lead vessel, called the Family Boat, was carrying the most famous members of the flotilla,
02:33including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and former Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau.
02:39The convoy aims to break the Israeli blockade of famine-stricken Gaza.
02:44Crew members said the attack will not deter them from their mission.
02:47Tunesian authorities denied claims that a drone struck the boat, but videos circulating online
03:16show a flaming projectile hitting the front deck of the vessel.
03:22The voyage comes months after a smaller flotilla similarly tried to deliver aid to Gaza
03:27before it was illegally intercepted by Israeli authorities in international waters,
03:32who called the effort a publicity stunt.
03:35At least 21 people have been killed after a Russian glide bomb hit a village in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region,
03:52according to President Volodymyr Zelensky.
03:55The bomb, which hit the village of Yarova less than 10 kilometers from the front line,
04:01killed elderly people who were queuing to receive their pensions,
04:05while 21 others were injured, according to the regional governor.
04:09Zelensky condemned the strike as a brutally inhumane attack,
04:14urging the international community to increase sanctions on Russia.
04:18The city of Zaporizhia was struck with Shahid drones, leaving several people injured and set in homes on fire.
04:26One local resident described the scene.
04:29Meanwhile, the central part of Kherson was also attacked overnight, causing a fire that burnt down trade kiosks in the city's market.
04:44A total of 84 drones were launched overnight on Ukraine, of which, according to its armed forces, 60 were downed.
05:05It's a signal that speaks volumes about Europe's intentions in the Arctic region.
05:13Last week, the European Commission proposed doubling its financial support for Greenland as part of the next European budget.
05:20This area around the North Pole has become a focal point of global commercial and geopolitical interests.
05:27The melting of the ice caused by global warming is reshuffling the political landscape and could bring Europe closer to Asia.
05:35The trade route in the north is much more convenient from Beijing to Rotterdam,
05:39rather than the classic one that passes through the Malacca Strait and the Suez Canal and the Gulf of Aden,
05:46which is, of course, 30 to 50 percent longer.
05:49It takes 14 to 20 days more than the Arctic route.
05:54But this route is not as open as it seems.
05:5753 percent of this northern sea route runs alongside Russia, which is seeking to extend its exclusive economic zone.
06:04Additionally, this region is home to the Russian northern fleet.
06:08Since the Kremlin's invasion of Ukraine, tensions in the Arctic have escalated significantly.
06:13In order to defend its interests, the EU therefore cannot solely rely on member states in the region.
06:20Think about underwater infrastructure such as fiber optical cables.
06:25It's easy to understand why being present in the region is so important.
06:30And think about Greenland or other territories in the region as platforms that make it possible to establish the so-called system of early warnings,
06:41or even to deploy aerial, naval or even robotics units directly in the Arctic.
06:48The EU is seeking to strike a balance between commercial openness and strategic protection.
06:54But access to the Arctic's hydrocarbons is also at stake for the bloc.
06:59According to estimates, the region holds 13 percent of undiscovered oil reserves and 30 percent of gas reserves.
07:06Norway's Labour Party, led by Prime Minister Jonas Garstoré, has won a second term in the Scandinavian country's general election on Monday.
07:19The Labour Party scored a narrow but clear win, confirming the centre-left bloc's hold on power.
07:25The bloc, comprised of four parties, holds a majority of 89 seats, surpassing the 85-seat threshold.
07:32Together, they beat the anti-immigration Progress Party, which saw a record surge in power with its best ever result.
07:40The election is expected to be followed by weeks of negotiations to build a coalition government.
07:46Storje has promised to retain Norway's wealth tax, which applies strict levies on the ultra-rich.
07:53The Progress Party, bolstered by a strong social media campaign, have argued that the tax should be scrapped.
07:59A freight train slammed into a double-decker bus at a crossing near Mexico City, killing at least 10 people and injuring 55 others.
08:12The incident is currently under investigation, but a video circulating on social media shows the bus in heavy traffic, slowly moving across the train tracks,
08:22when the fast-moving train suddenly appeared out of frame, ramming the bus at its midpoint.
08:27It's very lamentable, because wanting to win the train, they're lives. My sister, for example, survived.
08:36I respond to her, I say, well, she told me, Chaparrita, she told me, she had an accident, she robbed us the train.
08:46After that, she couldn't stop there.
08:50According to a recent report from Mexico's Rail Transportation Regulating Agency, accidents at grade-level crossings are the most common,
09:00and have been on an upward trend in recent years.
09:03The report revealed that last year there were 800 accidents, compared to 602 in 2020.
09:10The document did not include how many victims were involved in the accidents.
09:15In a development that appears to end the family drama that served as an inspiration for HBO's succession,
09:23Rupert Murdoch's family will have reached a deal on who will control the Media Mogul's empire after his death.
09:29Murdoch's media empire controls Fox News, the most popular network for US President Donald Trump and fellow Republicans.
09:36The deal creates a trust establishing control of Fox Corporation for Lachlan Murdoch, Rupert's chosen heir,
09:42alongside his sisters Grace and Chloe.
09:45Lachlan Murdoch's three older siblings gave up claims to controlling Fox in exchange for a stock reportedly valued at $33 billion.
09:52The three older siblings are known to not be as conservative as their father,
09:57with the court fighting kicking off when Rupert and Lachlan sought to change the terms of an established trust.
10:03The trust, which no longer applies, gave Rupert Murdoch's children equal say in his media holdings after his death.
10:10Where in Europe is the price of chocolate increasing the most?
10:17Driven by a poor harvest in Ghana and Ivory Coast, the world's largest producers of cocoa,
10:28the price of chocolate has surged globally over the past year.
10:32Across Europe and on average prices were 21.1% higher in May 2025 than a year earlier.
10:39But what European country has seen the price of chocolate increase the most?
10:44It was Poland. The country reported a 39.1% increase as of May 2025 compared to the previous year.
10:52Other countries reporting notable price hikes include Estonia at 37.9%, Lithuania at 36.5%, Latvia at 33.2%, Sweden at 28% and Finland at 26%.
11:10Price increases were less severe, however, in Luxembourg at 5.2%, Cyprus at 9%, Italy at 12%, Malta at 12.2% and Austria at 13.4%.
11:27Cocoa, which used to trade for between 2,000 euros and 3,000 euros a ton, eats as high as around 13,000 euros a ton for a period.
11:37Analysts expect its price to remain at around 9,000 euros by the end of the year.
