00:00All eyes are on Donald Trump, who will deliver his address at the high-level week of the
00:04UN General Assembly amid a growing trend of Palestinian statehood recognitions.
00:10Moldovan authorities say they detained 74 people in 250 raids over an alleged Moscow-backed
00:16plot to spark unrest before Sunday's election.
00:20The Trump administration says Oracle will take over TikTok's algorithm for U.S. users
00:26in a bid to avoid a nationwide ban.
00:30As the high-level week of the UN General Assembly is about to start, the number of countries
00:36recognizing Palestine as a state continues to grow.
00:40At a conference on Monday held at the UN headquarters, France became the latest country to add to
00:46the growing trend of recognitions.
00:49Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas addressed the conference brought forward by France and
00:54Saudi Arabia and thanked Paris for joining what he called a historic move.
01:00President Emmanuel Macron announced France's recognition of Palestinian statehood at the
01:04UN here in New York, receiving long applause during a conference dedicated to the two-state
01:09solution.
01:10But he also reaffirmed France's friendship with Israel, which, however, has always opposed the
01:15two-state solution.
01:17France joins the UK, Canada, Australia and Portugal with Malta, Belgium, Luxembourg, Andorra and
01:23San Marino expected to follow soon.
01:25These moves could bring the number of UN members recognizing Palestine to nearly 160, making
01:31one of the largest waves of recognition in years and potentially strengthening momentum
01:36for the two-state solution.
01:38On Tuesday, huge crowds here at the UN headquarters with U.S. President Donald Trump taking the
01:44stage.

01:49It's the largest protest ever organized by Italy's trade unions held in support of civilians
01:55in Gaza and the international humanitarian mission, the Global Sumit Flotilla, which is attempting
02:02to deliver aid to war toward Gaza.
02:06Strikes were called last week and are expected to disrupt both the private and public sectors.
02:16Maritime transport, logistics, education are all expected to be affected by the general
02:23strike when it comes to the railway network.
02:27The strike is due to continue until late on Monday with local transport being affected
02:35in several cities.
02:39Now, this is one of the main protests that is being held here in Rome where over 100,000 people
02:47have joined the rally, mainly students, trade unions and pro-Palestine groups.
02:56Now, they are demanding that the Italian government cut diplomatic ties with Israel, impose sanctions
03:04and that Italy's prime minister take a firm stance against Israel's military operation in
03:12Gaza.
03:12And Italy's opposition party is also calling for the recognition of the state of Palestine.

03:24Moldovan authorities say they detained 74 people in 250 raids over an alleged Moscow-backed plot
03:31to spark unrest before Sunday's elections.
03:35Prosecutors say the plot was coordinated from Russia through criminal groups.
03:39Azi, cu toată seriozitatea, vă spun că suveranitatea, independența, integritatea și viitorul nostru
03:48european sunt în pericol.
03:51Cremlinul aruncă cu sute de milioane de euro pentru a cumpăra sute de mii de voturi pe ambele
03:57maluri al enistrului, dar și în afara țării.
04:00Oamenii sunt intoxicați zilnic cu zești de minciuni.
04:05Sute de persoane sunt plătite pentru ca să provoace dezordini, violență și să sperie lumea.
04:11Sunday's vote is seen as a crucial test to whether Moldova stays on its pro-european path
04:17or shifts closer to Russia.
04:18The country has already experienced disinformation campaigns aimed at discrediting Maya Sandu's
04:25pro-european government.
04:28One campaign, dubbed Matryoshka, has ramped up efforts to spread propaganda in the country,
04:34including spreading dozens of fabricated stories.
04:38Officials warn the Kremlin is behind such attacks.
04:41Russia says it will adhere to nuclear arms limits for one more year
04:50after the last remaining deal with the United States expires in February.
04:56Russia's President Vladimir Putin told members of his Security Council
05:00that Moscow would expect the U.S. to follow Russia's example and stick to the treaty's limits.
05:05The new START deal, first signed in 2010 by then-presidents Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev,
05:14limits each country to no more than 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads
05:19and 700 deployed missiles and bombers.
05:23On-site inspections under the deal have been dormant since 2020.
05:28In February 2023, Putin suspended Moscow's participation in the treaty
05:33but stopped short of withdrawing from the pact altogether.
05:36Together, the U.S. and Russia hold 90% of the world's nuclear arsenal.
05:42The future of the new START treaty has taken on increased importance
05:46at a time when Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine
05:49has pushed the two countries closer to direct confrontation.
05:52PSG forward Ousmane Dembele beat out Barcelona's teenage sensation Laminia Mal
06:01to clinch the 2025 Ballon d'Or award.
06:05Dembele won one of football's most coveted prizes in a ceremony in Paris on Monday,
06:10capping a remarkable 2024-25 season,
06:13where he delivered 35 goals and 16 assists across 53 appearances.

06:22in addition to their very first Champions League title in May.
06:25On the women's side, Aitana Bonmati made history
06:29becoming the first woman to win three consecutive Ballon d'Ors.
06:33Bonmati now sits alongside Michel Platini and Lionel Messi,
06:37who are the only three players to achieve this feat.
06:39The Trump administration says Oracle will take over TikTok's algorithm for U.S. users
06:49in a bid to avoid a nationwide ban.
06:52A senior official said the deal would give the U.S. tech giant
06:56a copy of the algorithm now owned by China's ByteDance
06:59to ease U.S. fears over potential manipulation of content.
07:03Good afternoon, everyone.
07:08TikTok will be owned by a majority of American investors
07:11and controlled by a board of directors
07:13with extensive national security and cybersecurity credentials.
07:16In partnership with the U.S. government,
07:18Oracle will serve as TikTok's trusted security provider,
07:22and they will independently monitor the safety and data security
07:25of all U.S. user data on TikTok's platform.
07:28Americans' data will be stored securely in the United States
07:32without access from China.
07:34Before he left office, former President Joe Biden
07:37signed legislation requiring ByteDance
07:40to sell TikTok's U.S. operations or face a steep ban.
07:45Donald Trump has repeatedly extended the deadline
07:48as negotiations continued over the app's future.
07:52Over the weekend, he name-checked Oracle CEO Larry Ellison
07:55and some of his allies and billionaires
07:57such as Rupert Murdoch and Michael Dell
07:59as being part of the deal.
08:02Uzbekistan has signed a landmark aviation deal with Boeing
08:11during President Shavkat Mirzioy's visit to New York.
08:15The agreement, worth almost 7 billion euros,
08:18has joined praise from U.S. President.
08:21Donald Trump described the contract as a great deal.
08:24He noted that Uzbekistan Airways would acquire 22 of Boeing's 787 Dreamliners.
08:32A purchase, he said, would create over 35,000 jobs in the United States.
08:38President Mirzioyev is a man of his word
08:41and we will continue to work together on many more items,
08:45Trump declared in his post.
08:48According to an official announcement by Uzbekistan Airways,
08:52a firm contract was signed with Boeing for the purchase of 14 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners
08:59with an additional 8 aircraft as options.
09:02Deliveries will begin in 2031.
09:06During his visit, President Mirzioyev met with Brandon Nelson,
09:11president of Boeing Global.
09:13Both sides emphasized the importance of swiftly implementing the contract
09:17and reaffirmed nearly three decades of partnership.
09:22Mirzioyev also hosted a high-level roundtable with American business leaders,
09:27investment funds, and financial institutions.
09:30After the meeting, at least 10 bilateral agreements
09:34were signed in the fields of transportation,
09:36financial cooperation, mining, and new technologies.
09:43U.S. President Donald Trump is seeking to impose his agenda
09:47and political program on Europeans.
09:50This is what a report published by the European Council on Foreign Relations
09:54concluded on Tuesday.
09:56Trade tensions, the military defense of the Old Continent,
09:59and the White House's support for far-right groups
10:01are all factors that are prompting EU leaders to react
10:05rather than set their own agenda.
10:07To this analyst, this is an admission of weakness on the 27-member bloc's part.
10:12I think that, of course, it's European leaders, governments, institutions
10:17who have given plenty of room to be humiliated,
10:22whether it concerns the tariff war with the U.S.
10:27or the NATO summit and the question of boosting spending on defense
10:32or the way in which European leaders are treated in peace negotiations concerning Ukraine,
10:40where they basically need to knock on the door so that anyone listens to them.
10:44Otherwise, they are not in their room.
10:46European sentiment remains strong despite the political blows dealt by Trump.
10:51According to the latest data, public confidence in the EU is at its highest level since 2007
10:57and expectations seem to have also evolved.
11:00In many places where people used to consider EU mostly as an economic being,
11:06as a trading bloc, as a market,
11:10they started realizing that Europe has an important role in terms of geopolitics,
11:18relations with other global powers,
11:20but also in terms of a defense of democratic values
11:24that are in danger both externally and internally in Europe.
11:27According to the report's author, Trump has several relays in Europe.
11:32The leaders of Hungary, Italy, and Slovakia have made no secret that they're ideologically
11:37and maybe even personally aligned with the 47th U.S. president.
